Overall great experience. Called them for the first time, drove right over and they inspected the car upon arrival. Had a ticking sound coming from under the hood near the alternator. They had it repaired the next day. I don’t have too many car problems but price seemed pretty standard to get the alternator replaced. Thanks Rick!

I came because I got a coupon in the mail and needed an oil change. Hands down best rates in town, best customer service, and they were super quick. I will be back for any possible thing I need, and I suggest you do too!

These guys were great! I went in with a busted A/C and cracked tires. They were very honest and transparent. After inspecting my car, Rick took the time to walk me through everything I wanted to know and clearly laid out the best options. Service was done within a day. Definitely would go back if I need work done in the future

The most amazing experience. Rick was professional and got me in right away. I was beyond impressed at the service. Rick calmed me down and gave me reassurance my car was in good hands. Will def make the drive again for this level of service.

Just asked to correct receipt because didn’t give proper details what was done and Rick went crazy on me. I was going for few years. Even though sometimes prices weren’t best still came back. Unbelievable how he cursed at me over simple request to be fix. Was very sadden by his behavior. Stay away from Auto Repair Express!!!

Awesome bunch of guys. Rick G. Is the owner in Huntington Beach, they have another shop in Anahiem, Albert is at that shop. These guys know their stuff, whatever the car issue they can fix it right. Great prices, great people. All my family use them for their auto repair needs.

I have only done a few reviews in my life and this place and Rick Gonzalez deserve it! I have been having car problems for the past 4 or 5 months. Ive spent about 1000 dollars trying to get it fixed. The last place I went to fixed the sound, but it came back a couples months later even worse. Instead of going back to that place I randomly selected Auto repair express. Rick helped calm my nerves and was extremely nice and funny. He brought me out to my car and explained to my confused face what he believes it is while showing me in person. When he found the problem he showed me immediately and was able to fix it the same day. He gave me honest prices and called my dad to explain everything, since I didnt understand most of what needed to be done. This review is long enough, but I could go on. I would highly recommend to anyone, especially those who dont know much about cars. Thank you again!!

I went there for an Oil Change and Tire Rotation for my first time and had a great experience. Rick, the Owner is very professional, real, and to the point with the services. I didnt feel at all like I was being taken advantage of because I was a girl, like most places have made me feel. He even took the time to find me a good deal on a pair of tires for me! :) I highly recommend Auto Repair Express!! Ill for sure go back.

If you are looking for a place to fulfill all your cars needs look no farther. Auto repair express is the spot to go! Excellent customer service, extremely quick service time and a very reliable shop. Any time I have a concern about my vehicle they are the 1st place I’d call & go to. The guys down at Auto Repair Express helped me out tremendously, I had bought a lemon off Craigslist and before I knew it I was broken down on the side of the road getting towed. Rick and his service techs at the shop got to the bottom of what the problem was, gave me really good rates on getting my vehicle serviced and had my car back to me in no time. They gained me as a loyal customer and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else besides here to Auto Express Repair to service my car. Highly recommended! If I could give them more stars on yelp I would!!! 10/10 !!!

I have been looking for a good, trustworthy mechanic for years. I was referred to Auto Repair Express and I couldn’t be more thankful. They fixed up my car and did an exceptional job and exceeded expectations. Rick is one of the coolest guys I’ve met and he now has a life time customer. Thanks Rick!

Took my 2010 Mustang to the dealer and two other mechanics to get the air conditioning fixed. Was told they needed to replace canisters, air conditioning filters, a new compressor, recharge the system etc.. They also did a multi point Free inspection that would have bumped up the bill by major $$$$. After some serious damage to my credit card I was still sweating in the heat.Enter Rick and his team. Rick and I had the same MOS and I knew right away that I could trust a fellow veteran to do the job right.He literally removed the entire dashboard to trace down the problem. Rick found that the original grungy cabin filter had never been replaced. There was also a broken actuator buried behind the dash that had never been touched by the other shops. Rick also traced down a leak in the core of the AC system behind the dash that was slowly emptying refrigerant into the car to be inhaled by myself and my family.Rick and his team did an exceptional and truly professional job of repairing my car. I am finally a Cool customer.Mission Statement Success!

Came into this location from a flyer I received and needed an oil change before a big over landing trip in my Jeep. The staff was super helpful and the mechanic has some spare time and went around double checking major bolts to ensure my trip was a safe one. Will continue to take all my vehicles here. Thanks guys!

The most honest, reliable and coolest mechanics I’ve ever met. I’ve came here multiple times for both my Volkswagen and my Toyota, and these guys really know their stuff. They’ve always given me a correct diagnosis and fixed my car quickly and properly. Definitely recommend anyone to come here if they need a repair or maintenance done! Just make sure to call beforehand because they get super busy from returning customers. Thanks guys!

This place is great! Ive been coming here for years with all my cars. Albert and Rick take care to make sure you understand what was done and what your car may need next and when. Theyll give you an estimate so that you can budget. I have a couple of old cars with high mileage that need a little extra work in their old age. The cars, not Albert or Rick.

This is the best mechanic Ive been to. Ive been coming here for almost 3 years. I use to go to the chain stores, but they were over charging me and took advantage of the fact that I know nothing about cars. Rick was so helpful. I had bad brakes and he talked me through what was wrong and what could happen if I didnt change it. He spoke to me as an equal and gave me a very fair price. If you see this, thank you Rick!

Review №25

Rick and his team are upfront, fair, knowledgeable and efficient!! He always makes me laugh but what’s more important is I never feel like I’m getting swindled. An honest mechanic is one to keep around, and he always settles with a handshake, that’s important to me! He has done my brakes, tires, lights, spark plugs, electrical, oil changes, you name it, he’s your guy!!

I highly recommend Auto Repair Express to anyone for their services needs! Rick went over in details with me for my oil leak, rear main gasket issue and also my brakes. Rick is very knowledgeable professional and took his time with me on explaining everything that needed to be fixed on my Tahoe.The time frame was exceptionally great for all the work I had done in it (1 day and a half)The mechanics there are friendly. The shop and waiting area is very clean and organized. I’m very happy I was referred to have my car serviced tby Valvoline.I have been back for others car services since then.Fair and reasonable pricingThanks Rick and your staff :)

Took my car in for a coolant leak and these guys were quick in indentifying where the leak is coming from right away. I had my car repaired by these guys in less than 48 hours. I appreciated the quick service and repair. Rick did a awesome job in keeping me updated throughout whole the process. Thanks guys.

Very good customer service. I took my truck in for a clunking noise. Shortly after having it looked at they found the issue and explained to me what had to get done to fix it. They were very honest and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place for anyone who needs any kind of work done to their vehicle.

The guys at Auto Repair Express are simply TOP NOTCH! I moved to Huntington Beach about a year ago and had been using my old mechanic for the past 20 years, so I was not looking forward to finding a new one. I got lucky on my first shot. Rick and Albert were just straight forward honest with what needed to be done and how much it would be.I dont review much because I feel it takes a few visits to really get the feel for a place and since my first visit, I have been back to have regular service and oil changes done, every time the price, work and service have been impeccable.

I came in today for a routine oil change. These guys were fantastic. The manager Rick Gonzales that helped me today was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He gave me some great advice on my car while his employees completed one of the quickest oil changes that Ive ever witnessed. These guys are top notch and you can tell that they care about what they do. Ill definitely be coming back, and you should too.

Review №33

Rick and Albert are the most honest and hard working mechanics i have come across. I have been to other mechanics that cant do a simple oil change correctly let alone trust them to work on my car for other things. Ive gone to these guys for the past 5 years with multiple services including something as complicated from an Engine Swap all the way to super simple things like oil changes and brakes and rotors. They give honest pricing and their knowledge is seriously unbeatable. I trust these guys and this company with my life and my cars life. I have built a great relationship with them and so have my cars. I understand it can be tricky to try out new mechanics because in all honesty a lot of theae people try and scam you out of a few dollars because we do not specialize in cars.. but not these guys. Give this company a try and you have homest mechanics for the rest of your days!

Review №34

I have been taking my car to the guys at Auto Repair Express for a few years now. Rick and Albert are the best! I have a 1993 Jeep Cherokee and it is a ticking time bomb of problems waiting to happen. Every time I take my car in for an oil change or any service the guys there always shoot me straight and tell me what needs to be fixed now or what could possibly wait. I really appreciate their attention to detail and I feel like they are always looking out for me and not ways to make more money off of me. I trust my car and my safety to these guys and especially MY WALLET!! Thanks for all of your help Rick and Albert!

So lucky to have found this spot while driving down Gothard! My 04 Corolla was in bad need of an oil change and replacement brake pads....Went in and spoke with Rick who i think manages the shop and he made my life a breeze! Overall had an impression of honest professionalism that seems to be hard to find these days... Glad he had everything done quickly and professionally.I will definitely be back!!

Was having a rear break issue and needed it fixed fast. I called in and Rick answered and gave ball park pricing over the phone. I dropped my car off and its a good thing I did cause it was a lot worse than I thought. Rick called me a couple of times keeping me informed and updated on how things were going. He even offered me a ride back to work. Needless to say they were great and couldnt be happier.

Most obnoxious service you can ever experience. Rick never listens to what you say. Hope to see out of business soon.He even said dont mess with him.I made it very clear to him he did his job right and kept on accusing me I said was claiming he did something different.

I would stay far far away from this company. This company advertises in the penny saver but they DO NOT honor what they advertise. I took a coupon in for a synthetic oil change Mobil Full Synthetic 2012 Honda Odyssey. when I got the guy at the front desk said that my Odyssey took 7 quarts of oil which is total bull?*&%. He told me that so that he could pump my price from $44.95 to a smooth $79.95. Why should I pay for two more quarts of oil that dont even fit in the car. When I drove down the street to OMalleys for an oil change the guy laughed at me when I told him that the guy at Auto Repair Express told me that I had to put 7 quarts of oil in the car. Shame on Auto Repair Express and the guy at the front desk. It is repair centers like you that give the auto repair industry such a terrible name. Next time do the right thing and honor what you advertise. Not sure if you are aware but it is against the law to false advertise.
