Services
Our mechanic career started 37 years ago in the old gas station days. In those days you didn't buy a bag of chips and a soda at the gas station. What you did get was full service and personal attention: tires checked, windshield washed, oil checked, etc. There was no such thing as self-serve.
If there ever was a problem in Garden Grove or any neighborhood, you went to your local gas station, either for directions, a free map, blue or green-chip stamps, to get your oil and tires checked, or just to have a cup of coffee and talk.I have always felt like a public servant and have taken this philosophy into the mechanic shop for the last 20 years.

My car stalled and AAA recommended this place and towed my car here. They were closed so I left my info with my keys in an envelope in the key drop slot. I called in the AM and was greeted by the owner Buddy and he was very personable and nice. When Eddie called back with estimate I was blown away..... He said he found a rebuilt alternator and a battery and was charging $890+. Glad I have mechanics in my family and know when someone is trying to take advantage of a woman. On top of that they charged me $110 to plug a diagnostics machine to my car. SMH!!!! Needless to say I towed it to another shop

This place is amazing. They took my hopeless car that has been worked on for ever by people who are COMPLETELY clueless and figured out all the problems and has kept me in the loop the entire time. Also Buddy (owner) took the time to explain to me why things needed to be done. They have been super friendly and professional. When Buddy isn't there, I talked with the shop manager Eddy. He also is very polite and will answer any questions I have. There pricing is very reasonable and there work is top notch. I have recommended them to several people. I will always take my cars here from now on

Just picked up my SUV that I had left there for 2 days. I had found Buddy's through a recommendation from the Costco website for servicing a Porsche.
After somewhat of a rocky start, a few phone calls, and troubleshooting fees adding up much faster than I was comfortable with, Eddie offered that I come and pick up the vehicle at no charge. They even supplied the codes and the issues that they came up with on a print-out and a courtesy inspection. They recommended a different Porsche specialist in the area.
I will definitely consider them in the future. And to me, this is part of the vetting

I'm not sure where others actually went. Buddy has been taking care of our family cars and trucks for almost 40 years. We've never had a complaint. The work has always been excellent and fairly priced. Buddy explains things and doesn't pressure you to have work done that you can't afford. He's fair, knowledgeable, personable, professional and friendly. If he doesn't have an answer, he'll find one for you. I wouldn't take my vehicles to anyone but Buddy. He stands behind his work
