Comment: Fast service and reliable mechanics, they guarantee their work, I took my car here after a couple of mechanics had already worked on it and the problem kept happening, these guys nailed it at one time, John is super knowledgeable and really nice he will tell you what you need and also what you dont need so no needs of extra money to be spent. Ive been here twice and both times drove away happily. Theyll also check with days later to make sure the problem is fixed. Definitely recommended and will come back to TAS.

Comment: This Garage is the most dedicated honest and reliable Garage in Santa Ana. I got the privilege to work with Steve the owner, he immediately put my mind at ease and assured me everything was going to be all right with my Nissan Titan that would not start. He looked all the parts up got the best deal and saved me a bunch of money. He explained everything to me and made me feel like my truck was in good hands. His team he has in the shop are excellent and professional and dedicated and committed to excellence. I will always take my Truck or car to them and highly recommend this place to anyone that needs there wheels fixed

Comment: I brought my car in and my car was worked on 04/02/2024. My car was diagnosed on paper that my car had a bad distributor and bad computer control relay. Over the the phone I was told my bad distributor was covered in oil. The bad distributor sucking oil up from the coil wire drenching my spark plug. For $551 in parts. I thought swapping the spark plugs and coil wire would be included. Instead I was up-charged and got a $450 distributor and my old coil wire and old spark plugs installed. A distributor doesnt cost $450 alone. When I can back with engine problems, I was quoted $650 for spark plugs and wires and labor. I was also quoted $650+ for a alternator and labor. Yes, I denied service. You charge to much for car parts. Im comparing the price of the car parts you offer with OReilly and Auto Zone highs costing distributor/parts for my car because I deserve the best and Ive found nothing over $300. Any regular spark plug and coil wire for a 2002 honda accord costing or even costing more then $150+ is wrong. I have zero problems with labor costs.

Comment: We have had our 2009 Volvo XC90 serviced at TAS for some time. The service has been very thorough and, when necessary, provided repeated service, at no additional charge, to correct concerns. Also, they have kept our Volvo in like new condition.Recently, as TAS has begun servicing other makes, I brought in my 2010 Ford Edge. They discovered several concerns that have now been corrected, rendering this car in the best condition since I bought it six years ago from CarMax.We recommend TAS very highly.

Comment: This was a 120K Lexus “tune-up” with a long manufacturer’s list to be completed. They also did a free AAA inspection. To my knowledge, they did a great job and advised me that my transmission fluid was quite dirty. I agreed to change that too and I am glad to have averted a big transmission problem! They explained everything to me and sought my “OK” before proceeding. I will be back.

Comment: REVISED FEEDBACK04-18-2024Back here after wasting valuable time with a repair shop (Fox Auto Care) down the street who I had used for 2-3 years. I have no idea WHY I stayed with that other shop for that long, the rationale, or lack thereof, escapes me.Very glaringly obvious issues the shop down-the-street shouldve noticed, and which I also commented about to that shop several times, were immediately suspected by TAS. The auto-transmission (AT) had a massive leak. TAS tech-psychic and GM John P immediately and for some unknown reason advised that they needed to check for AT leaks (now, HOW did HE suspect that WITHOUT even looking at the AT, no obvious leaks on the pavement nor putting it up on the hydraulics and NOT saying a word to him?). The other shop was up under this truck in the area of the AT numerous times and were asked to please check where the fluid leaks were coming from, again, numerous times. I assumed the leaks mayve been oil leaks (engine seals, etc), since I had never experienced deteriorated AT pan seals in decades of driving.That other shop shouldve noticed that leak since they had it up on a rack, viewing the AT area. Am I complaining, maybe even bemoaning that previous experience? Yeah, not just due to misdiagnosed, obvious issues (other missed issues as well) but also because of wasted, invaluable, irreplaceable time (numerous trips to and from the other shop, sometimes for the same symptoms, time without a vehicle, relying on friends for trans, etc, etc), as well as placing valuable trust in the wrong repair facility (all repair shops make mistakes, inaccurate diagnoses from time to time, but the same mistakes and misdiagnoses repeatedly?). I dont like to see any small or privately-owned business fail, but AAA needs to review its approved auto repair shops. Luckily, TAS is one of the approved, however, Ive also known TAS when Steves pop was running it (and John Pizanie was a young buck...SORRY John!), over 40 years ago.Great work John, Steve and team. Please dont loose those values. If I were back on the track, Id want you folks as my crew!PRIOR FEEDBACKGreat shop, very professional. Unfortunately, the cost to repair the vehicle was far, FAR more than the value of the truck (i.e. high thousands). So why the high rating?TAS gave a rough diagnostic of what was WRONG with the vehicle, which was pretty much in line with my dreaded suspicions, and strongly cautioned against investing (throwing good money after bad) in a vehicle that would only need more repairs. The vehicle (truck) was purchased from Fairway Ford and, unbeknownst to me at the time of purchase, was fraught with problems that quickly (within 2,000-3000 miles after purchasing) evolved into worse problems culminating in the aforementioned exorbitant repair costs.In summary, The Auto Service was completely honest in advising AGAINST costly, irrational repairs (contrary to Fairway Ford who gave an estimate implying that the vehicle could be repaired, AGAIN, for a vehicle that they sold in initial stages of disrepair).Other than that, the shop is impressive, VERY impressive. The customer waiting area (lounge?), although I just peaked my head in, was equally impressive. Large, comfortable, very clean. If I were so inclined to throw large sums of money away on vehicle repairs, I would trust those repairs to TAS over any other shop.

Comment: I’m so happy to have finally found an auto shop I can trust! John was so amazing and patient throughout my first experience with TAS. He was incredibly transparent with pricing and didn’t try to push service that I didn’t actually need (a refreshing take after my experience at the dealership). I will definitely be coming back here for years to come.

Comment: I had a wonderful experience at TAS. I just moved to the area and searched online for a great place to take my Toyota 4Runner too and TAS came up. Good reviews so I went deeper and I was able to schedule my appt online within minutes and got a confirmation text and email, as well as a confirmation email and text the day before as a reminder. I do love the automation and communication because life gets busy and I forget stuff. Showed up right on time and found it very easy to find their shop and park. Went in and worked with John. He kept it straight with me and offered me multiple discounts to offset my cost and I felt the prices were fair and reasonable. They did the work great and within a reasonable amount of time. Their waiting room was very comfortable and I was able to get a lot of work done. The facility in general was very clean which I did appreciate. I like it here and will be back.

Comment: Took two cars there for service.First car, Acura MDX, needed brake pads, oil change and (I thought) a new moon roof. Everything was done overnight, all turned out just right. Instead of replacing the moon roof, TAS was able to straighten some components and now it works like new!Second car, VW Toureg, needed tires, brake pads and brake rotors. Again, everything done overnight, and the car is a pleasure to drive again!

Comment: Stay away from this place. They are the most unreliable mechanics who has no ethics whatsoever.Originally I gave them an excellent review since they fixed my car’s air conditioner and assured me there is no leak on my car’s air conditioner. They charged me $427. John even put my previous mechanic down who diagnosed Leak on my car’s air conditioner.After 10 days my car’s air conditioner stopped working. I took my car back and John said oops, my car has a leak and I have to pay $6000 to fix it.Before they take my car in, I asked John what would be your maximum charge for this problem? He said maximum $2500 !!!!!—————————————————————————I am replying to your response,I think the purpose of online review is to let the other people know what kind of customer service you have and what is the quality of your service.On both appointments you were not present. I did talk to John on both appointments. You mentioned he cannot diagnosed properly without doing service on your car but, I am telling you, he did say maximum cost cannot be more than $2500 before car service.So do not assume what he promised? He and I know what we talked and what he laid.Yes, I disputed your charge with my credit card company. You are happy, I lost but we both know, you lied to credit card company. You told them first appointment there was no leak and after 10 days i got a leak on my cars air conditioning system coincidently. Credit card company believed you but I don’t. Before I talk to John, I had seen another mechanic and they already diagnosed a leak but I wanted a second opinion when I came to your mechanic shop. I told all these informants to John. When he told me first appointment there is no leak he put my first mechanic down and said they do not know what they are talking about….First appointment, He quoted his service $400 in the morning but when I was paying at the end of day he asked $500!!???? I reminded him what he quoted earlier and he just said…. No problem.You are trying to cover up your mangers dishonesty but you do not understand customers do care about others review.Good luck to you Mr. Dishonest

Comment: My wife is too nice to leave a negative review, but when we have an appointment at a set time, we expect to not be forgotten. We drove two cars for 45 minutes in rush hour traffic to get there, waited 2.5 hours only to return at the shop and have them apologize for forgetting about our vehicle and it would be next. Wasted mine and my wife’s valuable morning off from work, gas money to get there, and added stress to our lives as well since we still have to get our vehicle maintenance somewhere else now. Inexcusable and unprofessional! Figure out a better system, so this doesn’t happen again! Have some respect for your customers time! Other than that wife said front desk guy was nice and apologetic. Have no idea if the work they do is any good, but if they can’t figure out the basics, or realize their mistake for almost 3 hours, I am not confident in the rest of their teams abilities.Update: Owner reached out to make things right. Offered a complimentary oil change service, but we declined. Changed from 2 to 3 stars.

Comment: John was not very polite on Friday when I brought my car in that was almost stolen the night before and had damaged front door locks and a barely working ignition slot(have to jam the key and pull hard to get it out. (KIA Boys got me)Unfortunately I havespent easily 10K on my girlfriends car and my own vehicles here in the past 5 years or so. They were always polite and great to deal with. When I called on Friday morning the owner Steve was very accomadating and sympathetic with my car being damaged by thieves. This was the place I trusted and felt comfortable with.John basically told me the owner does not know anything and to disregard what he said about being able to help shortly after I arrived. I told Steve when I was bringing the car by, but I guess John was not notified about my issue. Ultimately John just said I should have gotten better insurance and that it would be pricey ($1500) to change two locks and have the third party locksmith program them.As a service tech in a different industry I understand some repairs are not fun or great because they are costly and require more effort/time to complete. This is understandable and not what bothered me. I do not care about the cost or time in this case. The biggest issue was his initial attitude about not believing me that the locks are damaged or how I knew my car was almost stolen/locks damaged was also rude. (Possesions stolen from car) I was in at about 3:30pm near closing so I am sure that it was an annoyance. Ultimately, I know John is very knowledgeable and a good guy, but sometimes listening to your customers and being sympathetic/not being the skeptical tech about what the customer says is important.I will not be coming back here as bad mouthing the owner is not a good thing to witness. Also being open minded and not so skeptical of customers problems/listening is important. I know most customers are not knowledgable, but being patient and reserving judgment would go a long way. I was surprised because John seemed so cool every other time I went here.Sorry for the novel. Do not buy a KIA and as John said get better insurance.

Comment: Excellent Service and follow-through. For any service like auto repair which is always a cost to us as the customer, the best proactive action a service manager/owner can take is making follow-up calls to inform us of the news, during the repair time frame. I am not chasing my service rep, Mr. Steve Lowe in my case & Big John for details...How is it going? concerned question. It is not always good news (we expect those facts) but it is delivered in a manner that says, Hey, I will be back on the road, and that is all my concern, and I am good to go for some time.

They have taken my frantic phone calls after hours when Im stuck on the side of the road, waited for me to get my car there before closing shop, and countless other times they have saved my car, in turn my saving me! I cant begin to express my gratitude and appreciation for their entire team and simply their honesty and how they certainly do provide peace of mind. Honestly, no place even compares to The Auto Service. I think I am in love!

Comment: Excellent Customer service but they tried to over charge me for parts and labor. If you need your ac fix don’t go there. They will charge to run the system and recharge test, then charge to fix the problem then charge you again to run the test. Smh definitely would not recommend going there for any service you will over pay.

Comment: I was referred to TAS by a client after having a questionable experience at a dealership. After a full inspection, it turned out that I didn’t need everything I was told I needed elsewhere, and was able to save considerable time and money. TAS has excellent customer service and took great care of my car for a fair price. I felt confident in the service every step of the way and felt they genuinely cared. They have my business from now on! ALSO, they provided a shuttle both to my work and back to my car. Excellent communication, convenience, and affordability!

Comment: The gang at TAS is a great group. I took all my vehicles there for years but when I moved out of the area, I have not been able to. I have an older pickup that needed smog testing and the guys local to me could not manage it. But TAS did the job !! Quickly, cost effectively and now my old baby is still on the Road. THANK YOU ALL !!

Comment: I was considering buying a used truck and I wanted to get it inspected to make sure I was getting a good vehicle. I don’t know much about cars so I needed to take it to a professional and the staff at The Auto Service are top tier. The manager, John, took me step-by-step through the process of inspecting the truck. He and the other mechanic who looked at the truck were extremely thorough. They discovered numerous things of which the seller had neglected to inform me. The inspection wasn’t cheap but it was worth every penny. I received excellent customer service, a priceless education, and was spared from spending far too much money on a truck that had several mechanical issues and maintenance failures that needed attention. I would highly recommend The Auto Service!

Comment: Hello ! My name is Daniel - I came in this last week to get an alignment done that I knew I really needed. I found this place through Yelp & chose because of the amount of people saying how trustful they were & detailed they were.I wish I had the name of the man with me right now, but there was an older gentlemen with glasses that took my appointment and took the time to explain to me the results of the alignment. I appreciate how clear he was & the effort in making me understand what I just paid for. That’s a biggie. Thanks so much TAS- I will be back soon !

Comment: John was amazing explaining in details what’s wrong with my car and what’s need to be fix. I’ve been going to Audi dealership for service for so many years and I wanted to try somewhere different and I’m glad I called this place. They saved me money and they even found a nail in one of my tires and plugged it for me with no extra charge which Audi would never do beside changing out the whole new tire. The garage is nice and clean and they even picked you up and dropped you off. No Uber needed. I’m a happy happy customer and my car running like brand new! Highly recommended !!

Comment: I havent used TAS yet, but called from out of state yesterday to discuss having a pre purchase inspection done on a vehicle I am considering purchasing from a nearby dealership. I have nothing but great things to say about my conversation with John and the positive impression he left me with. Should things work out, I will absolutely be bringing the vehicle to them to inspect and I expect that I will receive honest, impeccable service. Thanks John for spending so much time on the phone with me and making me feel like a valued customer. Hope to get in there soon.

I noticed they had high reviews so I thought Id give them a try 🙂 I have to say from the moment I walked in I felt to welcome and comfortable. John was very helpful and offered great customer service. They also relieved the stress of having to find a ride back to the mechanic to pick up my car. I was offered to get picked up from my house and to the shop by John. That was very kind of them. Their driver was awesome and so was Rafael. Thanks guys, Ill be back 😎

Comment: I researched thru Google for a independent auto repair shop to service what I thought was a issue with my 2012 Subaru Outback transmission. I found TAS, The Auto Service with recent 5 star reviews. In business for 40+ years, a authorized AAA repair shop which tells me I would get high quality honest repair for the money I would be spending. I called to set an appointment, I spoke to the service mgr, John, who was very pleasant. I was informed of the progress of the work being done by Glenn on my car as I waited. No problems with my transmission, it was my rear brakes. Very surprised by the customer lounge with Wi-Fi access, bring your tablet/laptop.Most definitely felt treated like family.Yes, John did say to me, we like to treat you like family.

Comment: The shop is very clean. I came here based on the reviews. I feel if your car needs repair work that they will ensure it is done well. I do not recommend this shop for general maintenance. You will pay the top end price for simple services. I was also told I needed a service repair item that my tire shop said was not correct. I would have paid $180 or more for a service that was not needed. Again, I believe this shop will ensure you car is repaired correctly especially if you have a failure. I just feel for basic maintenance you can do better elsewhere.

Comment: I’ve been trusting these guys with my cars for many years. Just got new tires at Costco on my 2007 Lexus ES350 and they said I need my alignment checked. I took it in to TAS for an oil change and they showed me a faulty power steering rack and pinion on the right front wheel. Had it replaced and learned they had a new state of the art wheel alignment system, and had that done, and now it rides like brand new! Thanks again guys for keeping me safe on the road.

Throughout the process they called to keep me posted as to the problems and work needing to be done. And they were quick too! Everything was clearly documented on my paperwork as well as the service needed for some other issues in the near future. I was also offered transportation home so I didnt have to wait or call for a ride. I highly recommend The Auto Service shop.

Comment: I spent a long of time researching an auto shop that updated the online system with the service theyd done (since not all shops do) and that had a lot of highly rated reviews via google/yelp/etc and this shop nailed it. I came in for regular service and because I suspected my brakes needed to be replaced. They had advised that it was unusual for a Prius to get brakes done so early, but came to the same conclusion I had (warped rotors). I turned my car in at 8am, it was done by 3pm and it runs so smoothly (it hadnt for years). And price was exactly what I expected it to be. Im very impressed and will be using them as my regular auto service. Highly recommend.

Comment: Have been with this family-owned business (3rd SUV) for decades. John (Mgr) has been a godsend, watching over me by assuring my safety on my (pre-Covid) frequent trips driving up to the Bay Area. My latest SUV (2021 RAV4) was purchased solely on Johns recommendation... as was the previous one (a used 2007 Murano found that he thoroughly checked over before I purchased.). So trusted are all the guys at The Auto Service (formerly Swedish Asian) that I will go only HERE for all my maintenance needs, bypassing the freebie schedule Toyota offers on my new RAV4. (As advised by trusted YouTuber 50-yr mechanic, Scotty K, I should avoid dealerships for maintenance at all costs! They make no money on these, so will hand it over to the most junior of mechanics.). Thanks TAS - especially JOHN (& Glenn, who recently dropped everything to check out a wheel-noise I was concerned about.)

As a woman I really appreciate how open and clean the garage is, with a nice waiting area. Look forward to bringing car back for regular maintenance.

Volvo dealer prices were getting expensive and decided to look for a Volvo expert shop. Found them and with Steve’s extensive Volvo background thru his late dad’s Volvo expertise and tutelage I stayed with them.Btw, I had to wait for my car and Steve got his 2 guys and worked on my car immediately as it’ll take 3 hours to fix my front lower ball joint and the sway bar link on both sides. My car is 15 yrs old now and happy it is still doing great!! Keep it up Steve!!Ruby F.Anaheim

Comment: I’m very pleased with my service at The Auto Service. I found them through AAA and after reading the reviews I gave them a try. The dealership where I purchased my car told me I needed front and rear brakes. I thought their price was high so took my car to The Auto Service. Steve was pleasant on the phone setting my appointment. John took in my car and shortly gave me the good news that my brakes were only 50% worn down. He easily could’ve put brakes on my car, got his money and sent me down the road. Instead he was honest, saving me almost $400. A business with integrity is hard to find!While there, my mom had her car checked since the engine light was on. John let us know it was the spark plugs (which we had researched before going there). Again he was honest and the price very reasonable. There were a few other things wrong but as he told us none of them needed to be done right. Another opportunity he could have taken us but didn’t.The Auto Service is honest, reasonably priced and work with integrity. This is the only place we will bring our cars for service!7/23/21 UpdateI continue to bring my car to TAS even though I now live in Oceanside. I don’t trust anyone else to service my car. TAS has excellent mechanics and the company is very honest. They don’t try to sell you anything other than what is needed. Their customer service is impeccable! I highly recommend TAS!!!

Comment: Have a 1989 mazda pick up truck. Extremely low Miles makes this truck perfect for Around town errands or early get togethers with friends.They went through the whole vehicle and found some degrading mechanical issues. Getting all of the stuff to replace me into another truck wasnt cost effective at all.John the service manager is the best in the Field. He not only new the in and outs of my thirty year old truck. It was nice to hear he knew my truck.Ive had to fix a few things in the truck since. Each and every Time I stop by, I am greeted warmly by what seems like the entire crew. I am listened to complety and answer all my questions and concerns. They make you understand what maintenance is due to be done, What has fallen off of your radar. They even told me What I was going to get fixed and in what order.They are real Auto Doctors that can and Will help you the whole way. Jim

Comment: The Auto Service is amazing! I go to them for anything I need. They always find me the best prices they can on parts, and they are very accommodating when I have to come in for sudden and unexpected car troubles! Definitely who you should take your car to the next time you need a repair!

Comment: I never leave a review, but this place is special. They quoted me $950 (a very fair price for the job) and 3.5 hours, and got me out of there under $700 by not doing service that I requested but didnt need and passing along a discount they got on my new brake rotors, in a little over an hour. In the meantime they took me around the shop, introduced me to everyone, and showed me the maintenance they were doing on my wheel assembly. Im literally never going to another shop.

Comment: I arrived at TAS panicked because my cars check engine light had come on, I had just gotten a tow, and it was after hours. Luckily Steve was still there and was willing to take my information and my car in even with it being late in the day. The next day, I had a call from the team by lunch and my car was ready to pick up within a few hours.Amazing customer service, amazing support. Will definitely be coming back if my car needs maintenance in the future!

Comment: I have been going to the Auto Service (formerly Swedish Asian) ever since I got my first car at 16! I seriously do not trust anyone else with my car other than these guys. Johns has been taking care of my family and I for over 15 years. I continue to go to him because he doesnt try to get you to do a bunch of unnecessary BS to your car just to jack up the price. I know my car is always in good hands with him. It is hard to find people you trust and John is always someone I can continuously count on for good service without the dealership price tag.

Comment: Friendly, great service. They discovered why the car was completely dead. Animals had been living in the engine, fur all over, they ate the wires, drank fluids, which broke my heart to think of the animal suffering. The Auto service was able to clean out everything under the hood, repair the wiring, change the oil, fix the windshield wiper motor. All that and a bag of popcorn. Love these guys, John and Steve are great.

Comment: Its always great to have a reliable auto service run by people who are competent AND trustworthy. These guys dont push unneeded services on you and explain everything as much as you want to know. The focus is on safety and getting you around as needed. They currently have pick up and drop off of your car from your home and that makes things so much easier especially since we are not going out now because if social distancing.

Comment: These guys have been servicing my 06 Volvo XC70 ever since I bought it used 4 years ago. Ive never had any worries or complaints about their work. Steve and John do a great job letting you know what things on your car can wait and what should be done sooner than later. Ive never been pressured or talked into some kind of service or repair that I didnt think I need.Every time I bring in my car for an oil change they check it all around for other usual wear-and-tear and they let me know how everything looks. Theyll answer any questions you have and they do a great job explaining what things do what on your car.I bring my car here for everything: service, tires, engine light, everything. The team here is nothing but exceptional professionalism and theyre family owned. These guys started off as a Volvo specialist back in the day and I appreciate everything theyve done for me and my car.Thanks guys!

Comment: I have never before rated any provider of any service with a perfect 5 star rating. After 30 years of maintaining my vehicles, they truly deserve this rating. Excellent quality and honesty are in their DNA. I could easily use dealers or private shops within 10 minutes of my home, but willingly travel an hour to their shop. In business, integrity is everything.

Comment: Excellent service. Quick response time, and very upfront with costs. My diagnostics came back as something that is under recall from the manufacturer so they even printed out the bulletin for me to take to the dealer to make sure it was covered under warranty.

Comment: Ive used these guys since I moved to California in the 90s when I was a student with a beat-up used Corolla. After I got to know him and trust him, I used to tell John before a long road trip, Pretend Im your daughter, look over my car, and make sure its good to go without worrying that he was going to make up fake repairs to charge me for.John gave me advice about car buying which I took, even though it meant I wound up with free routine maintenance from the dealer for years. By the time that deal ended, Id lost track of TAS (formerly Swedish Asian Auto Service). Googling John and Steve great mechanics didnt work. Finally, my 14-year Prius needed real maintenance, so in desperation I sat down with Google maps to try and remember where they were. So I found them again- thank GOODNESS.Ive been back at TAS for two years now, theyve replaced the 15 year old battery on my Prius now that its worn out, and at this rate Ill have this car until it qualifies for vintage plates.Last week, with a sense of déjà vu, I went to John to say, Im making the first long road trip/camping trip in over 20 years, so I can visit my parents without worrying about giving them coronavirus by staying in a hotel or flying on a plane. Look over my car and make sure Im safe for the journey. He fixed the timing cap leak weve been putting off repairing for a few years, and a few other things too, and I *know* he was being generous on labor costs. Im not a kid anymore, but I feel perfectly safe driving off across the desert in a 16 year old Prius, which Im not sure I would otherwise.TL;DR: These guys are honest and dependable. Ive mostly mentioned John, because hes the guy who usually takes care of me, but everybody who works there is great. Im writing this review as an unsolicited thank you, but really, this is a long overdue review for the business I have depended on the longest… I was going to say since I moved to California, but come to think of it, Ive depended on them longer than any business, ever. And Im a persnickety Karen, so thats saying a lot. ;)

Comment: Everyone was very helpful, informative, and professional. I got to the shop early and was taken care of. They gave me a ride to my job which was just 8 minutes away. I thought my car needed some major work done but instead John told me later in the day that it was just a few things. It needed an oil change, tire pressure fix and fill the fluids. The job was finished early in the day. They picked me up from my job at 3PM, my car was ready to go. I will continue to take my Honda 2015 Fit back to the shop for all the its maintenance.

Comment: My car broke down near the repair shop, triple a recommended it and I got my car towed there. Upon entering I was immediately attended and was told that I would Be one hour before they could take a look at my car and it would be 150 dollars for the inspection.John Pizanie called a driver so I could be taken home. About one hour later I got a call from him and was told that unfortunately my cars engine was dead and they couldnt repair it.He told me to go to the repair shop and pick up my car and there would be no charge.

Comment: My family and I have been exclusively isolating since the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic due to being high risk, with the exception of going for car rides. When my service light came on, we knew we didn’t want to wait and risk a breakdown, but couldn’t take it to the shop and remain isolated. The auto service drove to our home, picked up the car, inspected the vehicle, called before doing any work on it to get approval, returned the car, sanitized it, and left the keys at the front door. They went above and beyond to make sure we stayed safe. I will forever be a customer and can’t thank them enough for doing this for us. It’s people and companies like them that give me hope in this crazy world. Thank you!!!!

Comment: I took my car in for a AAA free 40 pt check. The shop was very clean and well organized with a full lounge for waiting. When the inspection was complete Steve let me know that my car was in good shape and all I needed were new tires (which I knew). He was very professional and respectful with no attempt to sell any services. I will continue to go to TAS for all my auto service needs.As a follow up: I have continued to use The Auto Service and my confidence in their services has increased each time. I am so grateful to have found a place to take my car and to know that I will be treated with respect. I know that they are working to provide excellent customer service and are doing their best to keep my car well serviced and safe.

Comment: I would not recommend for anybody to take their cars to this shop! This shop is overrated and too expensive even more than the dealership. They charge $130 for 45 min pre purchase inspection and the results were not accurate! John pointed out few things wrong with the vehicle just to make extra money or justify the high price of the inspection! I got a 2nd opinion from another certified shop and the ruled out few of the problems that John said they were there and recommended fixing ($900 in parts and labor). SAVE YOUR MONEY THERES MANY SHOPS IN THE AREA THAT ARE HONEST AND WILL DO A BETTER JOB!

Even the auto garage appears clean and well lit. They provide a great assortment of drinks to consume while you wait. The wait room is large and comfotable. They provide a work space if you need to work on your laptop while you wait. Its the best auto repair service in the area. I was referred to them by AAA.

Comment: Way overpriced. The shop is fancy and all but I dont care about fancy shop and chocolates and coffee. I took my car there because the shop is close to where the car broke down.They wanted $750 to replace the radiator in my Toyota Corolla. I said not and added water to the radiator and drove 15 miles to my mechanic who charged me $270 dollars.Like I said the shop is nice and I can understand if they wanted to charge $100 more than other places. They charge more than double!!But they do great!!, there is need for shops for rich people too.

Right off the bat I could tell these were good people. Unfortunately, I needed a whole new engine. He found me an engine next day and had the new one installed an my car running in less than 2 days. I have spoken with many coworkers and friends, and they all were shocked at how fast the work was completed. I will definitely be taking my car there for future services and oil changes.

Comment: Let me start off by saying, I love this place. Ive been going to dealerships ever since I got my car and save for 1 (elmore toyota) they never treat me well or even care about my expenses let alone my car. The first time I went to TAS I immediately could tell the difference. These guys care about the customer service end and care about you knowing what youre paying for. If you dont need it, they wont press you to get it. If youre having issues with something you dont understand, theyll explain it to you. Theyll show you the underside of your car and make sure you know whats going on. Best of all, Ive ended up saving money because they dont break the bank with labor and parts like the dealerships do. They are a fair, family oriented, wonderful bunch of mechanics. Highly recommend. Ill be going here as long as I can.

Comment: These guys are the real deal! I came in for a pre-purchase auto inspection, and they were able to give me an honest answer with concrete reasons why with zero BS! After I paid for the first inspection, they offered to inspect other cars that I was interested in buying. That same day I brought in my future car free of charge to be inspected and was even given personal purchasing and haggling advice by John the manager. This is an amazing company that treats every customer like family. You can tell by that good energy and the smiles that the employees and the customers have from almost every interaction. Don’t hesitate to come to them. You’ll be in great hands. Thanks guys!Laura

Comment: I took my 2013 Nissan Versa to these guys in Santa Ana and I cannot recommend them enough. Not only did they give me a great value for the service I needed (half of the price that the stealership charged) but John, the manager, actually took the time to give me the specific fluid that my car needed, the equipment that he provides to his employees, and even a recommended DIY advice should I desire to do the job myself. I was astounded by this superior customer service, and the service that I scheduled took less than two hours. Phenomenal work guys, will definitely be coming back here again for all my regularly scheduled maintenance needs. Five Stars, two thumbs up

Comment: What a great place! Of course I use TAS for my car’s maintenance needs, however, since I’m in the market for a new car, I decided to stop by last Friday and get Steve’s and John’s opinion on the top three cars that I had narrowed to. I got more than I expected since I found the entire crew having lunch together as one big happy family. It was so nice to see all the TAS employees together and it worked out perfectly for my endeavor. I got every single one of their educated and experienced opinions and was able to make a much more informed decision! I love these people so much and value “all” of their opinions.

Comment: Started bringing my car here when it was still the Swedish Asian Auto Service and it is still the same trustworthy and awesome people running it. John was extremely helpful and upfront about what needed to be done and what didn’t. Was having some issues with AC, that we were thinking was electrical, turned about to be a much simpler fix and much much less expensive than what was previously quoted. Really appreciated the honesty from John and mechanics because I was ready to pay the higher quote and probably wouldn’t have know the difference. Long story short when I leave my car with them I’m comfortable it will be handled as one of their own. Wouldn’t want to take my Volvo anywhere else. Thanks again to John and the guys!

Comment: I was referred to TAS by AAA after my car died in the middle of a busy intersection. John called me right away in the morning to let me know my car would be looked at and he’d call as soon as he found out what was wrong. He called with an update and diagnosis and they were able to fix it the same day. They also were able to pick me up as I had no other means. As someone who is new to the area, I definitely felt relieved knowing I could trust this place. They will definitely be getting my business. Thank you to John and his team!

Comment: WARNING: If you have A classic Car or any car with drum brakes Be aware of the work that is done on your vehicle and double check with your mechanic to make sure the Job is done correctly . The owner Steve and John are one of the most dishonest n disrespectful people in the shop . I had gotten service done on my front and rear drum brakes, the only brakes they changed were the Rear drum brakes but the Front drum brakes were never even touched as i had my Mechanic take a look and my front drum brakes the shoes were cracked and broken and were not safe to drive.. When i had taken my car back 3 Times for service because i had a Warranty they just gave me an excuse saying thats the way those old Cars are and also said they work perfectly fine they never worked on them . Once i talked to my mechanic and he told me that my car was not safe to drive, I called the Auto service and spoke to John and told them that they had never even worked on the front drum brakes and that he was just lieing to my face n once I told him that i was going to make a report on the BAR Against the shop He began cussing me out with Abusive language.This is the worst customer service Experince ive ever had, and surely I will be making a Report to the BAR.

Comment: Im so glad I found this place, excelent service! Steve is a really honest guy and doesnt nickle and dime you. Ive never seen such a clean shop in my life with such A class service. I actually took my car to another shop for the same exact issue and not only it took 2 weeks to get my car back, but they charged me double and never fix the problem. Steve figured out the issue, fixed it the same day and charged me half. I will for ever be greatful. And the cherry on top is that they will give you a ride back home after you drop your car and pick you up. Really nice people.

Comment: TAS is the best mechanics shop in SoCal. Tremendous service quality at the right price. The mechanics do a great job of explaining what services your vehicle needs. I drive 20 miles from Lakewood just to get my oil changed here. I tell all my friends, If you want it done right, get it done at The Auto Service !

Comment: Looks like I found a new mechanic! My regular mechanic was unable to fit me in for a vehicle inspection, so I began looking around for local AAA approved shops. Given the overwhelmingly high online reviews, I called The Auto Service, and I was delighted to discover that the good reviews are well deserved. When I called, John (the manager) spoke with me on the phone and said he would be happy to fit me in that day. Once there, I was treated kindly and professionally by every staff member I encountered. They went out of their way to be helpful. Its also worth noting that the customer waiting lounge is far and away the nicest I have seen anywhere. As it happens, I didnt get to spend much time in there, though, since they set to work on my car as soon as I arrived and had me out of there in no time. This will certainly be my go-to place in the future.

Comment: They do great work, I have been gone to them with 6 cars over 15 years and they have done high quality, consistent, reasonably priced work for my family the whole time. John and Steve know most of their customers stories and names, they and all the staff are very personable.SAAS is run by honest people, and I cant speak well enough of them.

Comment: John and his team truly put the customer first at SAAS. He will not only diagnose and promptly repair your car, he will also educate you along the way so you understand exactly what is being done.My dashboard lit up with service lights a week ago, I called John and he told me to bring it in right away as that typically isnt good. When I arrived he dropped what he was doing, brought the computer out to the car and, while i was sitting in the car with him, explained the error code and what it could mean. After asking me some questions, Johns opinion, based upon his experience, was to reset the light, tighten the gas cap (which was loose), air up the tires, and evalute the car from there.A week later the lights are still off and the car is running perfectly.I am not sure most shops would offer this type of service and give you the genuine impression they care more about you then they do about their cash register. John and his team have a long term approach to their shop and know happy customers equal a healthy business.Take your car to SAAS!

Comment: Simply put, if you want great and honest service with great customer care come here. Too often in this industry consumers feel apprehensive about service, whether it be an independent shop or the dealer. You will not get quoted for work that does not need to be done, they will give you great prices and workmanship, and most important peace of mind. Its pretty simple, bring your car here, ask for John, he was great!

Comment: GREAT mechanics. Very reasonable prices, terrific service. They took such good care of our last Volvo that we got over 350,000 miles on it. Everyone that works there seems competent, friendly, and helpful.

Comment: Consistently great service and advice. Ive been a customer since 1978 and rely on Steve, John & Tim to keep not only my cars in great shape, but to keep me up to date on things I need to know. These are great people and no one better than these guys for service and attention to you as a person and customer. Keeping my car serviced on schedule and following the recommendations from the guys at Swedish has allowed me to drive trouble-free for a long time and keep the cost per mile low.I cant say enough about these folks - if there was an excellent-PLUS rating, thats what I would pick.
