Brian’s Auto Service

Had my car serviced on ⁸⁄₂₇ at the dealership and they told me my water pump needed to be replaced. After looking around at other places, my friend referred me to Brian. Brian’s quote for the pump and labor was almost half of what the dealership quoted me at. I took my car to Brian on a Monday evening and it was ready the next afternoon. Brian is a nice guy and knows his stuff. He has my future business for sure. I would definitely recommend his service any day.

I would like to Thank Brian for being so kind and convenient. I came here this morning to drop my car off to get my faulty brake switch checked out. I dropped off my car, he took me to work around the corner. A couple of hours later I received a call from Brian letting me know he had resolved my issue for a pretty decent price. I went to pick up my car during my lunch break and I was extremely thankful especially for the fact that he ALSO placed in a new «used» battery in my car because mine was drained. I would definetly go to this place in the future if I’m having any car issues again. Thank you Brian! :)

I recently moved back to Orange County and found that the mechanic I had used for more than 10 years had retired. A friend referred me to Brian’s Auto Service. I have taken my car to Brian twice since December 2014 and I have been extremely happy with the service. Brian is honest and does not try to sell you something you don’t need. I have been lucky that he was able take my car when I arrived and the wait was minimal (I called first both times to ask if it was ok to bring the car in). I’ll never go anywhere else to have my car serviced and I wouldn’t hesitate to take my car to Brian for major repairs. If you’re looking for someone honest to work on your car you’d make a mistake if you didn’t go to Brian’s Auto Service.

The best experience I’ve had dealing with an auto shop! I went in for an oil change a few months back and because I received such great costumer service I went back when my car was over heating. Brian is an awesome dude and goes far beyond what is needed. They fixed up my car in half a day! It’s not the absolute cheapest shop around but the work done is worth it. Will be returning for all of my car needs from now on.

Brian is amazing! Came in with a check engine light he immediately took my car in and fixed the problem. Got an oil change, new air filter, and complete service {explained in terms a non-​car person can understand} in a matter of minutes. He showed me my tire that needed to be replaced and recommended me a place. He was so thorough, personable, and kind. He is up front and very reasonably priced. You can tell he really cares. I will take my car there from now on and recommend him to anyone asking for a mechanic.

Brian has restored my faith in people, and especially in mechanics.
Been having car problems for for two days. Engine light on. It’s stalling at red lights. I’m freaking out because my SUV = money. Was heading to Pep Boys but I got more business so I sucked it up and did a late night adventure. Working in DTLA was an adventure, but I made it. My friend, Jordan, gave me the # to the mechanic he and his parents use. In fact, the mechanic, Brian, reportedly saved JS a couple G’s on electrical work on his Ford 250.
I drive 15 miles to Anaheim. Brian is a cool dood. Hooks up the computer thingy. My truck is generating 6 error codes. Aw shit. I smell my bank account catching fire Brian lifts the hood. We hear a hissing sound. He says, «I know what that is.» He takes the truck around back, does his thing and comes back with a little $ 2 heat-​treated rubber hose with a hole in it.
«This is the problem.» They’re good for 100k miles. You’ve got 103k.” He replaces the hose, hands me the keys and says, «All done.» I reach for my credit card and ask him, «How much?» He says waves it off. «That was too easy. Just come back next time you’re having problems. Maybe I’ll bill you for it then.»
What? Yep. An honest mechanic.
My truck is running fine. I got Brian on speed dial.

Got my oil changed today. Great friendly service. Took me right away and did my oil change in 20 min– just in time for class. Would come again if I need work done while in OC. I was really happy with the service

Brian is the only person I would trust with my car in Southern California. This man is HONEST! The only thing I know about cars that my Mini doesn’t warn me about is how often to rotate my tires! When Brian realized how much I didn’t know, he took me back to the car and showed me what was wrong. He is very up front and honest. He will tell you what absolutely needs to be done to get you around safely and what can wait.
Whenever I call, after telling him who it is that is calling, he always asks, «How’s the Mini?» I don’t have enough work done on my car to expect to be on a first name basis with my mechanic. Once while I was waiting on my car, I was amazed when he did this with two other people who called, as well. This is good customer service.
Unfortunately, I’ve had to move away from Southern California. I asked Brian what I should look for in a new mechanic. His response was that he appreciated the small business/​few man shops because they realize their business depends on their reputation. They haven’t got the corporate brand to bring in and keep business. I think this describes Brian’s Auto Service as well. Brian not only does good quality work, because he’s a good honest man and it’s the right thing to do, but because his business and his reputation depend on it.
This is a man of integrity who knows his craft/​trade. He’s always been friendly and pleasant whenever I call or bring our cars in. I think this is because working on cars is what this man loves to do. I don’t get the sense that this is just his 9 – 5. This is his passion.

If you’re looking for an honest mechanic, you’ve found one! my friends and I have used Brian for the past few years and have always had good experiences. He’s quick, thorough and fair with his prices. He won’t try to sell you things you don’t need.
