Found this shop as recommended by an employee at a nearby O'Reilly's!
This is a somewhat longer review!
After finding the shop around 10pm, and having my friend jump my car just to get there, The staff stayed open past hours to test my alternator at no cost, and gave me an estimate as to what it would cost to replace and install.
After day of checking around on prices, what they were asking seemed very fair, so I went in had them order the part the next day and it came in overnight.
I brought my car in the day after, and after a few hours I got a call saying the work was all done!
Upon arriving, I found they had even washed the car for me, inside and out!
Couldn't be happier with how all of that went , and how well my car is running now.
The best part of it all was how engaging, cooperative, understanding, and informative the staff was as a whole! The front desk and mechanics were kind as can be, and let me know what was going on every step of the way, without any pressure to get extra work done on my car or things I didn't ask for; those came in the form of recommendations, rather than any service being pushed onto me that wasn't asked for or necessary, like you might get at other auto-repair shops.
After the repair, the mechanic came out to shake my hand and inform me and confirm to me he did exactly what it was that I agreed upon, and answered all the questions I had about the job! Greater service couldn't be asked for.
I think I will be coming here from now on I believe for any car-related care, even oil changes!
Final words: Great shop, excellent service, better people. 10/10 would recommend :)
Big thanks to the entire team at The Mechanic OC. My car (Lexus ES 350) was totally disabled because of transmission issues. It didn't move a single inch when put into drive or reverse.
Mitch/Meech appeared like an angel and within minutes he quickly diagnosed the car, made a quick call, gave me an estimate and began working on my vehicle asap. They are extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable. Fixing a dead transmission is no joke. The guys at the mechanic OC were able to I 100% recommend
