Jack took care of my flat tire and balancing at no time, very early in the morning when other places were all closed. He knows how to take care of his customers. Fair prices. I highly recommend services on this place. Malaga S.

This is one mechanic shop that you would like to visit when you really need your car fixed. They really take care of you, very honest, reasonable and they do things right the first time. My car is getting old and needs more maintenance and repair. I trust Bill, the head mechanic. Hassan M. Orange, CA

They have the best price in town. Let me say that a gain... THE BEST PRICE IN TOWN! I have never had a problem getting the best deal here. Plus, I can (normally) wait in the lobby for them to be done they work so fast. Jered Surber

I purchased a 2003 Mini Cooper from Orange Empire on 7-2006. After a couple of months, the car started acting up at 50-55 mph, it hesitated. I took it to a shop and they couldn’t find the problem. If you’re a Mini Cooper owner, you will understand where I’m coming from. Not any shop can diagnose these vehicles. I kept driving the car, but the problem persisted and I took it back to Orange Empire on the 7th month owning this vehicle. They kept the car for 2 days. They took it to Mini dealership to have it checked. When I got it back, the car was magically running fine again. I drove it without problems for almost a year and then the problem came back. I took it to a nearby shop. They stated that the transmission was the problem. Since then, I have goggled and researched a lot of about this problem. Dealers can get away by flushing, changing the oil and resetting the transmission. I called the dealer again and they refused to do anything about. Their favorite phrase is, you bought it “as-is” and suggested that next time I buy an extended warranty on a used vehicle. They sold me a car that had a bad transmission and they know it, they just don’t like to repair used cars they buy for retail. Instead they make them look presentable for purchase and screw buyers over. Check out their BBB complaints, they always have a comeback for every situation. I put in all my savings into this purchase and got ripped off. No one deserves this, no one! I would have NOT purchase 25k vehicle with a bad transmission. No one in their right mind would. We “consumers” trust that vendors will be honest and sell us decent vehicles. This vehicle was not inspected at all and of course I am no mechanic and couldn’t have possibly known that all this needed to be replaced. The car needs a new transmission, front/rear struts, power steering suction and return hose, marker light bulb and the replacement of the upper engine torque mount. I should have had warned others buyers earlier t

I had to take 2 cars in last week. Not only were they fast, but honest! As a female, it's tough to find an honest mechanic that won't overcharge for services. They courteous, on time with both cars and came in a smidge under both estimates!! Would absolutely recommend them!!! Heather Bruno Tutton

I've been going here for a bit now since I moved into the area and don't plan on going anywhere else. No-pressure shop that's owned and operated by car guys who combine their passion with their work and are there to help you with whatever you throw their way.Turnaround time has always been as-quoted or sooner, prices are great, employees are super friendly (Steve is all smiles all the time), and I've always gotten great recommendations from them for things they don't specialize in. Definitely worthy of 5 stars!

I took my vehicle with 47K to this repair shop for a diagnostic on my sensors, fuses and circuits. I had two clients, each referred me to their mechanic, GAS repair recommended S & S for the electrical issues of sensors. Airport Auto repair agreed that S & S was a good shop for this issue. Since I knew my oxy sensor was faulty with rich emissions and gas loss, and interior issues related to my lighter and auto lock, I took a written paper listing these items to be checked. I assumed I would be treated well since I had been referred and was told by the owner no work would be done until I approved. The vehicle ended up over the weekend when I was told on Friday, they would be closing and hadn't had enough time to do the diagnostic. Since it was circuits and possible use of a break box to check sensors, I thought he may well recognize the time requirement to do this. Unfortunately, I left the vehicle. I was called on Monday. I was told a regulator was out. This was impossible. I had no start up issues and no reason to believe this. A prior diagnostic had checked this issue and found it was in okay. While I was expecting a pricey estimate to check all the sensors, I didn't expect this. I had also expected a pricey estimate to repair the A/C. This is not what I received. When I arrived it was almost comical. They had my car opened and ready to launch into the game of deception. What immediately caught my eye was the dark puddle beneath my vehicle. I had hoped it was superficial and they simply poured dirty fluids to make it appear as a leak, but it was not. They literally opened the trans. pan and wrinkled the gasket and resealed it. The mechanic launched into a story about code 173 means regulator. which it doesn't. They wrote up a diagnostic stating they received a POcode 173 which doesn't apply to my vehicle. There are no PO codes with my EECIV system. I did not hear the entirety of their mind game, they knew it was pointless, I wasn't as stupid as I looked. I
