I used this repair shop since 2018. I use old cars for my business. I rely on them 100% because I do not have knowlege of the maintenance of the cars. They checked A/C and also did multipoint inspection at this time. The charge is reasonable for the professional shop.
I took my car in for regular maintenance. After the service was performed I was advised by Danny the store manager that the wire and connector to my lower right light, driving light, had been severed and removed. That caused, of course, the light to be in operative. My car had recently been in to Hyundai for emissions testing and they had my car for six weeks, during which time the car was damaged during testing at the lower right front area where the light is located. It’s evident that during repair to the damage is when this current damage involving the wire and connector occurred. Thanks to Danny’s observance and his mechanic in the shop, I am filing a claim with Hyundai to have them repair the light damage with no cost to me. Regardless of the outcome, many kudos to Danny and Car Tech for their observance and professionalism. I highly recommend Car Tech for your auto needs.
I WILL TELL ANYONE NEEDING A MECHANIC IN IRVINE: COME TO CAR TECH. THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL AND WILL ONLY PERFORM WORK YOUR CAR IS IN NEED OF.
Need a good mechanic - look no further than CAR TECH.
STAY AWAY!!This place is absolutely awful. I took my car in for an electrical issue and Danny from the start took advantage of me by charging for a diagnostic when I already told him what the problem was, he then put no effort in and said he couldnt find the issue and wouldnt even attempt to see why the airbag light was on saying we dont do that. Then when I wanted him to move my car literally across the parking lot to have it looked on by another mechanic, he wouldnt do it. Danny isnt a real mechanic and I would suggest you take your business elsewhere.
Great service, super fast! Highly recommend! Even got a service report afterwards with pictures!
It has been only 1 visit so far, but I’m very impressed with the friendly service, and fair treatment. I have an intermittent electrical problem. They quoted a price and I accepted the quote. They tried their best but could not fix the problem. They noted a situation that I am tracking down, and after a week, I think they are on the right track. They only charged me half of what they quoted to diagnose the problem. Fair and honest. I’ll be back.
Car Tech diagnosed my car’s problem immediately, after a different repair shop was unable to identify what was wrong. My car is quite old, but it is now running beautifully.
Car Tech auto provides very honest, reliable, and friendly service. Its great having an auto service shop in the area that I can trust whenever I have car trouble.
Technician was very professional and service was great!
If youre having vehicle issues, look no further. This is the place to go. I have been here a few times with both vehicles. Each visit has been great. The service is top notch! The staff is awesome!They are very honest with issues and dont try other up sell or overly complicate an issue to make extra profit. They just call it like it is. They do a free diagnostic check but it is only free if they also do the repairs. The prices are not the cheapest around, but I have never had to return because of a recurring issue. It is completely worth it.I will be returning here for future problems.Simply the best around here (Irvine area).
I was recommended to Car Tech Auto Service from AAA. They were timely and professional. I would definitely return for other services!
I first went here last year because of a few small headlight and taillight issues and the service was phenomenal. When I started having issues with my breaks and rotors, this was the first place I thought of. I dropped off my car for the diagnostic, then they called me and gave me a quote for the issue which seemed reasonable. They communicated with me each step of the way and had everything done by the end of the day.Highly trust and recommend this place as everyone here is not only friendly and pleasant, but they also seem like they really care about their customers.
Great service and very knowledgeable, but a pit on the pricey side.
Customer care is superb here! Tim and the guys were very kind, helpful, and went out of their way to help me out. My transmission blew out, and when I left the car at the shop, Tim offered to drive me home since I lived near by.In the following days, Tim had called me several times to consult with me, and sent me timely photos of my car during the repair process. Everything was finished quickly and I had keys in hand in two days.
Always a warm reception followed by efficiently getting your required information and your needsThey are very skilled in their own operations and most importantly have a technical understanding of automobiles.
First time taking a car for a SMOG test and Tim with Car Tech Auto Service made it a quick and easy experience. It was pouring rain when I took my car in and Tim was so kind to pull my car right up to the front door so I wouldnt get wet when leaving. I will definitely be coming back.
Excellent service!They get all the detailed information from customer first.They check the symptoms next, but if they do not find anything,no charge for the check. They charge if they find a problemand perform detailed diagnosis.My old car had lot of leaking points, but I ignore the problemat this time. It is typical problem for old cars.They charge for two diagnosis and oil&filter change just $150!do you believe the price? Also they have advanced appointmentsystem so that customer easy to keep maintenance record.Yoshi
If youre looking for reliable, efficient, and trustworthy service for your vehicle in the Irvine area, then look no further. Tim and his group will take good care of you and your car. I have been a satisfied customer for years and this place gets bonus points for exceptional customer service.
They can’t fix my fuel line. It’s 5 min job.4.7 stars? Not true
I had originally gone to Car Tech for a smog check a month or so prior to this last visit. I was impressed then with the professionalism of the staff.This time I went in because I wanted Car Tech to provide me with a second opinion regarding amajor service that was recommended by the repair shop that usually services my vehicle. The service would have involved quite costly parts.Car Tech was very willing to provide the second opinion, and to my surprise, they did not charge me for the inspection...at all. For now on, Car Tech will be considered to be my secondary shop for car service. I really appreciated doing business with them.
Charged me $50.00 bucks for smog test and said their system couldnt communicate with my car, and asked me to go to a Ford dealership to get it fixed, I had to spend 2 hours of my time and another $150 bucks at Ford to hear that everything is working fine, there wasnt any issue.After all of this, I took my car to a different place for the smog check and guess what, my car passed the test.I believe these guys are just running some scam to fool around customers
Tim and the guys at Car Tech are amazing. They always give their honest feedback and recommendations, even if it means avoiding their service. This shop focuses on quality, long-term care and it shows.
The customer care here is the absolute best Ive ever had when getting maintenance done on my car. Mr. Nguyen is seriously amazing! I went in originally to get an oil change for my car, but the mechanics ran diagnostics and I was informed that the struts went out on my car and damaged the tires. Mr. Nguyen went and showed me all the damage and explained all the signs to look out for. For someone who knows absolutely nothing about cars like me, that was really helpful. Im terrified of getting scammed by mechanics so it alleviates a lot of fears too. They gave me a rental car to use in the meantime and were very communicative about the time it would take to fix. I really appreciate how transparent Mr. Nguyen is on discussing products for my car (price, quality, etc.) and the services needed. Honestly after dealing with corporate mechanics like Jiffy Lube and Oilstop who try to upsell you every single service and product they can, its such a breath of fresh air. I originally went here because it was close to my new job, but now I really dont want to get my car looked at anywhere else.
Thank you very much for repairing my vehicle! I was surprised and am appreciative of the free light bulb change as well. I will be back for future repairs.
My first time here and so far the folks here have been super friendly and knowledgeable. Their facility is also very clean and comfortable! Came here for my smog check, so I definitely recommend them! :)
I love this place...excellent service and fair prices. I am treated with respect and courtesy. They go above and beyond, especially with giving me a ride home.
Car Tech has serviced my two Honda Accords for many years and the staff is always friendly and helpful and the service excellent, efficient and reasonably priced.
I cant speak more highly of Tim and his staff at Car Tech Auto Service.I live 2.5 hours away from Car Tech Auto, but purchased a work truck in the Orange County area. An hour after the purchase, the truck died. getting it towed was an arduous process, but in the end I dropped it off at 2 am, at Car Tech Auto, per AAAs recommendation.When I returned the next day I was greeted by the owner, Tim. From the start he listened to me. He actually LISTENED. He listened to my dire situation, of being stranded with a broken down vehicle, 2.5 hours from home, and immediately began to help. Car Tech Auto is not set up to work on large diesel commercial trucks, but Tim allowed me to keep the truck at his shop while I worked to get the truck up and running again.Tim truly cares about his customers. He is fair, and has very knowledgeable staff. I wish I lived closer, because I would be a customer for life.
I originally went to Car Tech because they are a AAA service center. I have had two great experiences so I will be taking my vehicles there going forward. They are trustworthy and competent.
My CRV has over 340,000 miles on it thanks to the great service Ive received over the years at Car Tech.
Excellent service, very fair prices, quick turnaround. 100% would use again!
My first visit was with the assistance of a tow truck after our transmission went out as we were headed to San Diego on vacation. They diagnoses the problem, helped us find another vehicle, updated us on the progress of the repairs, and finished the job earlier than the estimate. The price was fair and the car runs great. I wish we lived closer.
Honesty and integrity. They do great work with superior customer service. Could not recommend a business more highly.
Clean well run shop
Great service. Showed me defects that could possibly be covered by manufacturers warranty. Completed job in good time.
Great and customer service. Quick and professional. I highly recommend this place for any of your vehicles repair.
Real pros! They will never try to sell you something you dont need, and they will give you fast, professional service
Brought my 2011 Prius for repair due to the AC on/off intermittently problem today at Car Tech Auto Service. The service was great based on1/ Great Customer Service: by phone and by person - Friendly, honest, and professional.2/ Price is just fair: Compared to the other mechanics around the area.3/ Convenient: location for me to drop off and to pick up while working at Irvine - Car tech also offers a countersy pick up/drop off if I werent be available to get one4/ Professional and caring about my car: They found the Freon in the AC system was overfilled and AC line was contaminated. Car Tech Tech evacuated and refilled the Freon twice to clean up the AC system.5/ The time frame was great: I got back my car as promisedVery satisfaction
Tim (owner) and team are friendly, fair, and transparent. Ive been in 3 times now and am always satisfied with their quality of service.
I loved my whole experience here.Quality service. Had my differential pinion seal replaced, and that is as difficult as it sounds. No problems since the repair after two monthsGood price. I shopped the work and these guys gave a very competitive quote.Honest service. I do a lot of my own car service and am more knowledgeable than most when ir comes to cars. These guys do it right. Use the right parts from the right places and dont BS.And extremely friendly service. Just speaking with techs over the phone felt like spesking to a old friend.
Car Tech Auto Service and Tim provided excellent customer service!
I went in for brakes and David told me I needed to also buy rotors for double the price. My car is relatively new and Im certain the rotors were no where near failing. Im kicking myself for not having stood up to him. I feel cheated.There are honest mechanics out there, Car tech Auto Service is not one of them.
Will not go there never and ever again. They use the cheapest and fake brands but telling you that they use the premium equipment. You may think the price is fair because they use the worst equipment.You better search for other auto services.
The auto shop provides convenient auto services!
Great repair facility with great service!
Put your car in good hands. Friendly knowledgeable staff! Youll be pleased with their service!
They’re fast, friendly, have proven integrity, and a great value. I go out of my way to take my car there (used to be near my work, I changed jobs).
The staff took care of me in a very timely manner and did a great job on my vehicle, thanks again guys. Recommended.
Great autoservice with very competitive pricing and warranty! Would come back again!!
You guys are awsome. The car is running better then ever. Thanks for the great work.
Great customer service,clean,a little pricey but you pay for what you get
Quick and fast service. Will use again
Quality servive and fair price
First time visiting Cartech with an AAA 40 point inspection on my 1999 Lexus LX470 SUV. This will now become my go to place after years of using dealers and other independents. Cartech will help me get at least another 50,000 miles on top of current 214,000 odometer reading.
Very good at diagnosing tough problems.
Arrived early in a rush. They squeezed me in before they opened and gave me a ride home and back that day to pick up my car. Very friendly and they showed me old parts and had mechanic present in case I had any questions about the work. Thanks! Pete
Great service..
Excellent service ... very honest, very helpful, awesome service from the Owner TIM 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌
