I had extensive smog emissions work on my 14 year old with 129,700 miles, done by Tony and Gabriel. Automotive was established in 1976, and ever since that date has earned an enviable reputation among South Orange County locals. Our well-trained repair technicians are skilled in everything from general maintenance to smog check to other repairs.
Lake Forest auto repair shops run the gamut, but K.O. Automotive delivers the honest service and incomparable results that can't be found elsewhere. From the moment you step on-site, our courteous office staff and helpful repair technicians will impress you. Nobody understands how important an asset your vehicle is to you better than we do; and we make it our professional goal to see each vehicle that comes to us leaves running its best.

Tony and his team at KO Automotive are an oasis of skill, conscientiousness, integrity and helpfulness. I have been. Automotive is a full service automotive maintenance and repair shop, located in Lake Forest, CA, serving Southern Orange County over 18 years in care and repair of American, Asian, and European vehicles.
Automotive was first opened in 1976 by Kurt Ortell (K.O.). The shop was located in Mission Viejo off of Obrero Street and was a VW service and repair center. Kurt established a reputation for being an air cooled VW expert. Air cooled VW's are the old bugs and buses built from the 1950's until about 1980.

I, ve had an auto-mechanic phobia for many years, so much that I went an took an auto- mechanic course myself, in my younger. The primary concern in auto maintenance is.you. As the vehicle owner, you are the only one who can assure that your vehicle receives proper maintenance. Your vehicle's owner's manual outlines a schedule of recommended service and maintenance.
As your vehicle ages some components wear out, get old, and need to be replaced. This includes such items as the shocks begin to leak, the radiator stops working, or the transmission begins to slip. However, some of these costly repairs can be prolonged or avoided completely with simple preventative maintenance such as oil changes, changing hoses and fluids, and scheduling regular tune-ups.

I have taken my cars to Tony at KO for at least 15 years. He is an excellent mechanic! The maintenance and any repairs are always perfect and on time. The prices are far better than any dealership and he is the most honest mechanic that I've ever known. If it doesn't need to be done, he will tell you. He handles all of my family's vehicles as well.
