I've been taking my cars to Bennett for over 25 years and they always deliver efficient, quality service. Even when I lived in another state, I would call Bennett to get their mechanic's opinion about what my local mechanic said my car needed. They always get the job done right the first time and at a fair price.

Bennett Automotive is your one-stop shop for all of your cars needs. I have been taking my car to Brent and Patrick for years now, and not only are they honest and fair, they are so helpful and go out of their way to help you. I cannot say enough of this auto shop and highly recommend them for any car that needs maintenance or service.

The first factor for me in finding a good mechanic is that I can trust what they tell me. I have taken my Mercedes here twice and definitely recommend them. The most recent trip I am a bit ashamed to admit was something of user error. Not only did they not make me feel like an idiot (which I am)- it would have been pretty easy for them to charge me more money by saying there was something wrong when there wasn't. The only downside of this shop is they are not open on the weekend but is an inconvenience I will certainly suffer through to continue to take my 2006 Mercedes here. Thank you guys

Bennett Automotive is the place to take your car for maintenance/service needs. You can trust what they say, you can trust the quality of their work, and you can trust that their pricing is fair. They communicate clearly and promptly if things come up that are outside the original estimate. Convenient location, just off TO Blvd at the 23. Recently, and on short notice during the holidays, they were able to take care of some pretty significant repairs to my daughter's VW Tiguan. They really came through, and will have our business in the future.

I have been taking my car to Brent for several years. He's always honest and upfront with his estimates and repairs. He always gives me the best deal available and I know that my car will be in great running condition when I pick it up. I would recommend Bennett's Automotive over any local repair shop. Brent also always has time if I have any questions about my car. I'll will always bring my car to Bennett's.

Where else would you go to have your car taken care of other than a professional mechanic's shop? Brent and Paul are one of the most knowledgeable and honest mechanics I've ever met. If you're in need of a reliable mechanic, look no further because this is the place!

Had the best experience here, getting some repair work done on my son's car this week. It's always hard to go to a new place but Brent made it so easy. The car was done right when he said it would be, and everything was perfect. I will definitely be back!

I took my truck to Bennett Automotive when the service engine light came on. I was able to drop off my truck same day. Brent diagnosed the issue and updated me about the steps to take clearly. He worked with my warranty and had my truck back to me quickly. This shop is much easier to deal with than the dealership, and I will be back if I need anything else.

I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and My reverse/Backup lights weren't working. I wasn't from the area and I went to another highly rated shop who told me that my bulbs and fuse were fine and that the problem was in the computer and I'd probably hAve to take it to the dealer. I called a Buddy of mine and he recommended Bennett. Turns out it WAS THE FUSE!!!. They potentially saved me at least 100 bucks in a possible diagnostic at the dealers. TOTALLY RECOMMEND THESE GUYS!!! Hint, don't take your car to any shop in Tustin with the word Galaxy in the title.

In the middle of this heatwave the last thing you need is your AC to be on the fritz. I was trying to be cheap and tried diy and soon realized this needs to be left to the pros. I found Bennetts automotive and was impressed with the reviews so I called and Brent quoted me less than any shop. I went to his shop and was impressed, he's very professional and doesn't sugarcoat things he's up front and to the point when it comes to prices. Unlike most mechanics these days that throw surprise costs at you at the time of checkout. Needless to say my AC is blowing nice cool air and I can

I used Bennett Automotive for the first time for my daughter's vehicle. I found the owner, Brent to be knowledgable and courteous. The pricing was fair and he didn't play any games trying to fix things that did not need fixing. Bonus points for being honest. We will be back.

I've known Brent for several years, and he is the only mechanic I trust. He is up-front about what work needs to be done, does it in a timely fashion, and does it for a reasonable price.

Been going to Bennett Automotive for years. Solid workmanship, reliability, integrity, friendly and affordable. Brent is a solid guy and looks out for our vehicles, both what needs to be done now and what's coming up so I can budget and keep my vehicles in good shape. As a fiction author, he's my go-to auto research guy. ;-)

I only trust taking my car here!!! I TRAVEL FROM SAN DIEGO to have Brent look at my truck, I have been going here for years and I only trust him. I took my car to be looked at in San Diego and they gave me a quote/list that was outrageous. So I called Brent and asked if he would double check. Sure enough more then half of what was on that list didn't need to be worked on!!
I respect his honesty, and fare prices!! its tough being a girl bringing your car to a mechanic lol!
I highly recommend Bennetts !!
