Cars 2000 Service Center

I took my 2007 Santa Fe in for a diagnosis, after my tester started throwing codes. Shawn was very professional, and down to earth. Told me to leave it with him. He discovered that my coil pack was possibly blown out, but wasn’t sure. He told me he’d change it, and if it wasn’t the pack they wouldn’t charge me extra. The price for the fix was very reasonable. Most of the time I do all of my own work on my vehicles, but if I need a mechanic again it will be cars 2000 hands down.

Recently a friend was charged over $ 600 for a simple brake job, and the mechanic there missed the fact that the engine had a blown headgasket. How does that happen? After thinking this place was a good neighborhood mechanic, I fear I’ve changed my mind. Just be aware of what’s going to be charged before going ahead w/​the work. Superbly nice people, though.

Yesterday evening my car started smoking and leaking radiator fluid, this was my first ‘major’ issue in over 5 years of owning my car so besides routine maintenance I had no idea what to do. After getting my car towed, I asked friends who they went to and was told I should try Cars 2000. I like supporting local businesses and the other reviews were good so I decided to give them a shot.
I was told my the tow truck driver that my radiator blew but after Sean looked at it he saw the only thing wrong was a cracked hose. I appreciate that he didn’t just replace the radiator and charge me for that but actually fixed the problem and was honest about it. I will definitely come back for future car maintenance.

After years of slithery mechanics, I chose to come to Cars 2000 because of the praise Sean has received from my neighbors on NextDoor. Here for an oil change and asked if he can look at a couple of other things as well (possible body work, etc). There happened to be another female customer in the office waiting for her car to be done and she shared that she’s been a customer of Sean’s for years (since he was on 20^th/​Broadway), that she trusts him and that he is extremely honest. All these words of appreciation and respect for Sean as a person and business man is very reassuring and I’m hopeful I have a new mechanic.

Just got back from Cars 2000 Service Center. My new go-​to for auto repair. Sean was polite, informative, patient, and experienced. I brought in my car because I was nervous about a perceived noise while turning, and a low idle which was causing sporadic near engine stalls. He took the car for a test drive an assured me that things were running smoothly, and that I was most likely just not used to the feel of that particular model of car when turning. He also suggested replacing the fuel filter to address the low idle problem, and adding fuel injector cleaner with a fill up of Premium Chevron gas, to help clean out the fuel system. He offered to take care of the filter replacement at a very reasonable rate, which I declined because it is something I can do myself. He was very polite and helpful even when I told him that I would take care of the filter replacement. He didn’t charge me anything for his time, so I am leaving him a great review to help boost his business, which he probably doesn’t even need considering his great reputation in the neighborhood and community. So happy to have found an honest, reliable mechanic and will definitely return when needed, and refer anyone looking for auto mechanic services.

I had an oil leak of some sort that needed immediate attention. Cars 2000 is in my neighborhood and I decided to give them a try after seeing others had great experiences here. It was a very quick turnaround at a reasonable estimate. I believe I dropped it off in the afternoon near close of business and then picked it up in the morning.
No more problems with the oil leak, but I was assured that I could bring it in again and they would address the problem if the check oil light returned after driving it for a while. Well, the check oil light did not come back on, but the check engine light did. Good grief, just what I needed, another car problem. I call up Cars 2000 again since they were quick with fixing the oil leak. I bring the car by and the same day I get a call back saying they identified the code causing the check engine light. Turned out to be something simple and since I had been there recently for work, they did it free of charge!
I don’t know how many miles my car has left in it, but if I have a problem with it again I will bring it back to Cars 2000. Thanks guys!

Cars 2000 is amazing! My Honda had been stalling out and not running well for months. I took it to 2 other mechanics and I ended up paying for repairs that didn’t fix the issue. Sean ran multiple tests on my car and was very thorough in his evaluation. He was able to find the issue and fix it. My car now runs like new! He is very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. he even guarantees his work. I highly recommend him and cars 2000!

Why would I review a shop I have not had work done in yet? One word… honesty. I brought my car to check on the transmission and they test drove it, gave me their input and when I asked about buying a new tranny he said don’t do it since the transmission was not gone yet and had about another year left.
He could have EASILY told me I needed one ASAP or took advantage but he was honest and told me ways to even extend it. THAT is why you come here, mechanics pretty much all fix cars but it’s these moments where a mechanic can be honest and save you money is what you look for. he now has my respect and all my future business.

I have taken my 1995 Honda Civic here for regular maintenance for a few years now. Sean the owner is always upfront, friendly and not pushy about upcoming needs. He’s also been spot on about the timing of new brakes, belts, etc. Service is quick and the Civic runs smoothly. This is a great honest neighborhood mechanic with reasonable prices.

I agree with the review by M.F. For 15 years I have had my cars serviced by Sean and his employees at Cars 2000. I have had major and routine service done to my complete satisfaction. Sean is honest, fair, and very competent, and a nice guy. He or his team have been most helpful on occasion by picking me up or driving me back home while my car was being serviced which shows to me one aspect of the care they show their customers.
All work has been done timely and very affordable. Over the years I have seen many customers show their respect to Sean and the excellent service at Cars 2000. I will continue to have my cars repaired there based on my years of excellent service

So strange how different people’s experiences are. I found Sean and the team at Cars 2000 very helpful, efficient, and skilled. As I understand it, this business has been around for at least a couple of decades and has a lot of loyal patrons.
I took my car in for an oil change and other minor repairs. I was in and out in 20 minutes on a Saturday morning (yes, they’re open on weekends). During my wait, I overheard other customers who called Cars 2000 and requested immediate assistance for cars that were not starting or had other movement limitations. Sean sent out members of his team to help people out at their homes.
This business is also a strong supporter of the community and I appreciate that a lot. It is too bad that the other reviewer had such a negative experience. Sounds like it was an overall problem with the car and another mechanic gave her the mental fix she needed to keep on moving by blaming the last guy who worked on her car.
At the end of the day, it’s quite hard to «review» a mechanic when one is not one themselves to judge technical aspects. So I’ll say this – after departing Cars 2000, my car runs fine, it didn’t cost me much, and the staff was great. I will be returning and know who to call if I’m ever a automotive bind in Tahoe Park.
