Saddleback Automotive II

They handled my car quickly, and the head mechanic was a cool guy. I'd definitely recommend this place. (AC recharge)

Saddleback Automotive was referred to me by a friend and woody owner, Gary Clark. Mike the owner is a no B.S. Straight forward kind of guy, and tells it like it is. So if you want warm and fuzzy don't go there. If you want professional work performed on your classic vehicle or any vehicle, Saddleback is the place to go. Jack the mechanic that worked on my woody was very professional and informative. Mike and the crew took great care of my woody. It stayed inside the whole time. I trailered the car to Saddleback and drove it home. The expected problem was a badly leaking rear main seal. It turned out to be a crack in the oil pan from a loose fly wheel rubbing on the oil pan two years earlier, which was replaced in 2019.. Jack found the problem and Mike called me right away with actually good news that the rear main seal was in great shape. They brazed up the cut in the oil pan and reinstalled it. They checked out the rest of the drive train and adjusted the brakes. Mike is the kind of guy that makes sure your vehicle is safe to drive. I am a very stoked customer and hopefully won't have to return there anytime time soon. BUT, if I have a problem with either one of my classic cars. I know where to take them. Thank you so much Mike and Jack......Mickey Rat, H.B. (Mike Ester)

We've been taking our cars to Mike for 8 years and he's provided excellent and honest service each time. I can't recommend this place highly enough. My neighbors all use Saddleback Auto as well and everyone raves about it. He always takes time to explain any issue, never tries to up-sell, and generally just takes good care of the cars. The one time he did find an unexpected issue, he brought the part out and showed me where it was totally corroded and explained the function, etc. These are really good guys. I hear about people getting ripped off all the time, and I just wish everyone would go to Mike.

Mike, the owner, is very honest and nice. My car went dead suddenly and he took us in for a checkup without any hesitation. Since it was a hardware failure, we ended up taking to the dealship. he did not charge us any money and fixed our break during the checkup. What a great shop and person! Will go back for more service!!

I cannot recommend this shop more highly. Mike and his guys always fix my vehicles in a timely and quality manner. There may be less expensive repair shops around but Mike's honesty and knowledge make his place a superior value. Never fixes things that don't require it and points out issues that have saved me money time and again. Customer for over 10 years and never been disappointed.
