Tri Auto

If I could give 6 stars, I would. Highly recommend Tri Auto. Danny and team are great. Very knowledgable and honest. Very affordable too. Thank you guys!

My car wouldn’t start, and I don’t have any family close in this area, so I didn’t have anyone to take a look at my car. I walked a little less than half a mile to see if I can get someone to come take a look at it. I didn’t realize that they only serviced Toyota’s, Lexus’, and Honda’s but Danny was kind enough to not only go take a look at my car, but also give me a ride back home. Turns out it was just the battery, but he offered to come back again to jump start my car. He really saved me and he didn’t have to. So, so thankful!

Danny arteaga and his crew are amazing !!! I never have to think twice about a 2^nd quote or 2^nd opinion when it comes to these guys. Not only do they know what they are doing, but you can TRUST them!
Pretty rare when it comes to a mechanic. It’s often that I get my car back and extra things were done at no charge to me.
Highly recomend these guys to anyone. Just wish they worked on more of a variety of cars.
Thanks tri auto!

I’ve been to TriAuto many times with multiple cars over the past 6 years. Every time I have needed repairs on my Lexus the repairs were done right, at a good price and timely. One time I had a smog sensors replaced and after a few hours the Check Engine light came back on. I took the car back and a vacuum hose needed replacing. It was done at no charge.
My dad had work done here before and that is how I came to find out about this shop.
I will continue to bring my car here because of the great service and reasonable prices.

Good for simple oil changes but not much else.

Well, spoke too soon about these guys. A week after getting my clutch done here, I started having electrical problems, my instrument panel went completely dead and my truck slowly petered out and stopped running. I know the signs of a bad alternator, and am capable of fixing that myself, so I contacted Danny about purchasing a new alternator from him to install on my own. I performed the repair, seemingly fixed the problem, and the next day my battery was dead. Knowing that there were electrical issues beyond the alternator at this point, I purchased a new battery and tried to call Danny, only to find out they’re closed on Saturday. Needing a fix as soon as possible and believing the issue was unrelated to my last repair, I took my truck to JC Auto Electric in Montclair.
Upon returning to pick up my truck, the first thing they asked me was if anyone had worked on my transmission lately. I told them yes, someone had indeed. They informed me that a wire harness had been improperly reinstalled and had melted on my exhaust manifold. We’re three hundred and sixty dollars deep now, folks. All for one of Danny’s employees’ mistakes. Upon returning to inform him of this, I was told that this was his staff’s incompetence was basically my fault, and that I should have returned to him for the fix even though it seemed totally unrelated and they don’t specialize in electrical, and even that the symptoms that I saw with my own two eyes couldn’t have possibly happened. Yeah, that’s what customers like hearing: what you saw never happened. He said «What do you want me to do about it?», like it’s not obvious that I’d like to be reimbursed for his mistake that cost me almost four hundred bucks. Even a partial reimbursement for the parts I was forced to buy for this cutting of corners would have made a huge difference.
Let’s just say that the nominal price for the labor here was more than offset by the money I had to spend in parts and labor to fix a mistake that supposedly couldn’t cause the problems that I saw with my own two eyes. Proceed with caution if you give this guy your business. I thought really highly of him until he pulled this act on me, would drive from my place in LA to see him. No more.

Danny is awesome, very honest and reliable! Local family business and I always go to Danny for my vehicles!

Will NEVER return here again! My boyfriend and I got our car «fixed» here by Danny and his team and not even a week later, it broke down again. We return to see him and he charges even more money to find the «problem» and «fixes» it again. A few more days go by and it breaks down again!
Cost us another $ 650 to get it repaired and a whole two weeks of hell! Even had to use up all my AAA tows and missed work because the car kept breaking down. We nicely returned to his shop today to talk about what happened and he was nothing but rude. The entire conversation was him on his phone texting and not even listening to us and even rudely answered a phone call on his phone and walked away without saying anything.
The mechanic we had to fix the vehicle after Danny, knew we had just had work done on our car, he even knew exactly what was recently fixed and told us that the car shop who did the repairs (Tri Auto) fucked up badly. We tried reasoning with Danny about how his team messed up our car and we wanted even a slight refund but all he said was «No I can’t do that» and just walked away from us yet again.
We have been to Danny multiple times and have taken two cars and even recommended him to friends and family who have started to see him. We told them about our experience and we have all decided to find a better shop that actually backs their work. Danny does not.
You get what you pay for here, very cheap parts and work that is NOT guaranteed.

Danny is The Best !!!
I was in need of a mechanic and a friend recommended him. I’ve been going to him for years.
If he can’t fix it, he’ll give you a referral if you ask for one. I recommend this auto shop to everyone that wants great work, price and service. Thanks Danny for servicing my cars and being so patient with my million questions :)

Good service overall. They may just need to clean up their shop a bit more.

Honest and Competent!
Danny Arteaga has been taking care of my vehicles for years and he does an amazing job. While it’s true that no one is perfect, Tri Auto’s track record with me is absolutely perfect! It’s a no-​pressure place. They never try to sell me on additional services, just fix what I want and make recommendations when appropriate.

I will never go to any other mechanic BUT Tri Auto. Danny and his whole crew are the best and very honest and fair love em!!!

I have a 2008 Toyota Sequoia and recently bought a new battery from Pepboys and a week later my car wouldn’t start. I thought it was the battery so I tried to jump start it and it took a few times but it started. I took it back to Pepboys and the battery tested fine. Turns out it was the starter that was going bad. They gave me an estimate of about $ 800 (parts&labor) to fix it and I said not at this time. I happen to search on Google for a reputable auto shop in the area and found Tri-​Auto on Unilocal.It had perfect reviews so after reading most of them, I decided to give them a try. Danny Jr. quoted me about $ 350 for the same repair. I thought to myself… Wow that is an awesome price! So when I dropped off my SUV I also asked to replace one of the battery terminals and added an oil change too. A funny thing happened though when I came back to pick up my SUV that afternoon. The new starter had an issue so I couldn’t take it home. My wife already left me there to do some errands so I would be stuck there for a while and in the meantime it was closing time. Danny offered to take me home since he felt bad about the delay. How awesome is that!?. Turns out my wife got my message to pick me up. Danny even waited for me way past closing time until she arrived to get me. How awesome is that again?! Anyways since it was going to be there an extra day, I asked to have the tires rotated too. All in all the cost of all these things done to my SUV was only $ 350. This will definitely be my auto shop to go to from now on and will absolutely recommend Tri-​Auto to all my friends who have Toyotas, Hondas, and Lexus’! Great pricing and great service! They go above and beyond to service the customer!
Thanks again guys!

This is a total gem of a repair shop. They are fair and fast. We have been here several times for mystery issues and they diagnosed quickley and honestly. When you drive a Lexus the maintenance is expensive so having this shop in town is a blessing. Highly recommend.

Amazing place ! My family has been bringing there cars here for over ten years .
Very honest great people

I have just moved to the Chino area, but I did not have any experience with any auto mechanics in the area, so I asked around, and pretty much everyone responded with Tri– Auto. I decided to give this business a try, and I am glad I did. Danny, the owner/​manager, is so great to work with. He does get busy pretty much everyday. The first time I came in, I got there at around 7:45 am, and there were already a few cars there. Danny took my name, number and the reason for my visit. He quoted me a price and a wait time. The price was very reasonable (for what I was there for), as was also the time to complete the work. They finished the work as promised, and ahead of schedule. While I was there, I was able to talk to a few other patrons of Tri-​Auto, and each one had nothing but praise for this place of business. I won’t go anywhere else, but Tri-​Auto.

I went to see Danny for the first time on 7÷9÷15 and knew I needed several things done to my car. He was very easy to talk to and I was very pleased with the service, timing and cost. I thought I was going to pay several hundreds of dollars but that wasn’t the case. Tri Auto did great work and I would recommend taking your car there every time. I know I will from here on out.

Been going to Tri Auto for over 16 years when they were at their old location. I’ve taken all my cars and friends and family as well. Danny and his team are very knowledgeable and are very helpful. Will always help you even if you don’t bring a Honda Toyota or not Nissan. Danny can work on not only new cars but also the old ones which a lot of people don’t these days. A true gift to the area

Wow honesty and a great mechanic crew. Tri auto put an engine in my sons Honda, ever since it has been running like a new car. I had had a few bad experiences with a few other mechanics that could neither fix my overheating problem nor figure out the problem. Definitely worth driving all the way out from San bernardino. Thank you Danny.

Howzit! I’ve been coming to Danny since the 90s and he «the» mechanic to bring your cars to. He’s honest, got character, great integrity, and an avid runner. You can tell by all the medals in the office.
He never charges for unnecessary repairs like other shops. His prices are reasonable.
People drive from other cities to be serviced by him and his staff.
I’ve trusted my vehicles with him and you can too. I’m gonna miss him and his service when I’m gone to CO.
Tip…since he’s so busy working on your car, bring him some organic trail mix. He likes that stuff.
God bless you Danny and you too danny jr.
