If you're looking for a shop that you can trust, Academy is the place to go. Gus has been extremely consistent when it comes to keeping me updated on my vehicle, and has been very fair on price. I took my vehicle in for some pretty big repairs, but I would recommend Academy for any type of job.

Five stars is not remotely sufficient to give Academy Automotive (805) and they're outstanding service. We discovered Academy Automotive through Google reviews and those Google reviews did not lead us astray. This repair shop has earned every single one of those five star reviews. When our car unexpectedly broke down, I looked on Google for a nearby service center that could deal with possible catalytic converter issues and Academy Automotive came up. Based on all of their five-star reviews, I decided to take a chance. What was so great about Academy Automotive was that you could drop your car off after hours and leave a key in a drop box and then they would touch base with you the next day. This was our exact experience. Gus and company were very understanding to our situation and even though our repair was going to be extremely expensive, we were treated very fairly the entire time. Gus even goes as far as to show you the parts that he's replaced so that you know and can see that they needed to be replaced. Our car was so problematic that we have visited us four times over the past month and each time we have been treated fairly and without standing customer service. Not once have I ever felt like the moron bringing their car into the mechanic. Gus takes his time to explain what's wrong with your vehicle and you feel very reassured that your vehicle is good hands. We actually live in Ventura and from now on will happily have our car towed two Academy Automotive in order for Gus to service it. That's how much we appreciate the professionalism, customer service and courtesy that Academy Automotive provided us. Highly, highly recommend you use this auto mechanic.

I highly recommend Academy automotive. They have come through for me a couple times, even though they were busy. Yesterday, Gus was able to find things on my car that mechanics have been missing for years. She was able to fix the problems that I’ve been dealing with for a long time, and do it all for a super reasonable price. I’m so happy to have found a reliable a mechanic in my neighborhood. Thank you guys!Services: General repairs & maintenance

I'm so happy with how they worked on my Dodge Diesel 3500 truck. I have now given them all of my fleet vehicles, a total of 13. I am extremely happy with their service, price, and speed of service. I give them my highest recommendation.

I highly recommend Academy Automotive for their friendly, fast, and expert service! Most of all, I greatly value their honesty! I brought my car in for a few issues I was concerned about. After they took my car on a test drive and then inspected it, Gus insured me that everything is safe and it's running as it should. He didn't feel right about charging me since they didn't find anything, even though I agreed upfront to the inspection cost. Now I can continue my occasional long drives for work projects with great peace of mind! Huge thank you to Gus and his crew!

I found Academy Automotive searching on Yelp, I am so glad I did because Gus is so caring, kind and honest. Being a girl it’s always a little nerve racking bringing your car to an automotive place. I feel like I’m always taken such great care for and am so thankful to Gus and the team for everything they do. I’ve been bringing my car for about a year and a half now and I’m so happy with everything.

Gus and his team have been great. I've had my F350 worked on here twice and both times, they worked hard to get my repairs done quickly and have been open and honest about the repair. Highly recommend using them.Service: General repairs & maintenance

The owner Gus is very respectful, honest, and fair. He'll take great care of you as he did with my fiancé's car.

Highly recommend. Our family has been here a few times. This time I took my older Toyota as the windshield wipers randomly came on and would not turn off. Apparently the controller switch was just stuck and nothing even needed repaired. They didn't charge me even a dime! Always reliable and honest service!

Gus is great! They have taken good honest care of me and my lady’s cars on a consistent basis. Whether it has been a tune-up, oil change, body work, piston coils, or a simple fuse switch, they have gotten the job done and in a timely manner. They never try to scare you into doing extra unnecessary work either. I will continue to use and highly recommend Academy Automotive. Sincerely, Shannon.Services: Painting
