There's a common misconception that Anti-Lock Brakes help you stop faster. That is not always the case on loose gravel or snowy surfaces. Anti-Lock Brakes, in fact, are designed to help you maintain control of your vehicle in an emergency braking situation. Imagine you are driving on a snowy road. You need to slam on.

I have a 21 year-old Honda CRV, and have been going to Camarillo Independent for at least the last 16 years, I think....and they keep her in the best shape. My experience is always top-notch, and if it wasn't, they remedied it and communicated. I appreciate knowing I have mechanics I can trust with an older car. I can also easily get a ride home from them, and a pickup, as well. Thank you for your excellent service.

When I dropped off my car at 8:40 AM on 7/30/2021, I didn't receive a call about diagnosis until 2:18 PM about my check engine light diagnosis. The mechanic was way to slow to diagnose my car. When he called me on the phone, he recommended the following services: remove cylinder head for valve job, replace cylinder head gasket, cylinder heat bolts, spark plugs & thermostat, change engine oil and filter and refile engine coolant all for $3690. That is super expensive. Also, he said this repair would take 3 -4 business days, which is way too long for me. Thus, I had to decline this repair. If anyone

Great service, friendly staff, and affordable rates. Their personalized service is the best in county. I was preparing to drive cross-country and needed several preventative maintenance procedures done. Camarillo independent automotive performed it at half the price the dealership quoted me for and got my car operating at full capacity with warranties. They ensured that my car remained reliable for the 2,500 mile test. They also offered shuttle service while I waited.

We first used this place when we first moved to CA and needed smog checks. Then, we discovered that the people who work there are great diagnosticians and mechanics. We used to go to the VW dealer, but I felt the dealer ripped us off of thousands of dollars. CIAR is where I will be going from now on for any car problem! They fix it right and are very reasonably priced. They drove us home when we found out we had to leave our car there until parts arrived. Very nice people. I feel lucky that I have found a trustworthy and reasonably priced auto mechanic!

My wife and I have been extremely satisfied customers since 1981. During that time we have had 10 different vehicles: Hondas, Acuras, Mazdas and Nissons. Several of the vehicles approached 600,000 miles.
The care and service provided by Bret, Maria, John and the rest of the staff, both in the shop and in the office are superior, on a consistent basis, to any other shop I have dealt with during my 61 years of driving.
I trust their diagnosis, I trust their workmanship, I trust their estimates and above all I am proud to call them all true, respected friends!

Difficult review to write. Lots of good things. All staff I met were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I had emergency service done and it was done quickly and at a fair price. Overall the work was good, but there was an error in my service that forced me to stop and do my own repair and a service was recommended for a part that doesn't exist on my vehicle. They were willing (actually eager) to correct problems, but since I was on the road that didn't work out. I would say that I would recommend this shop over most others I have tried, but they again demonstrated why I do most my own work. I
