I m new in town and I heard good things about this auto shop. So I stopped by and met Vince. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. After speaking to him and finding out prices on different repairs I have no doubt when I need auto service. This is a place I ll be coming.Thank you Vince.

I was having battery issues, so I assumed it was a bad alternator. I left my car at the shop just in time before the shop closed. Vince ended up giving me a call later that night that the truck was ready. Vince was professional, quick and very transparent and honest with pricing and what he did. I would definitely recommend you to bring your vehicles at Vince s Auto Repair.

I Brought my 1995 camero into Vinces so he could repair the mess a friends mechanic did to my car. My car was repaired in 3 hours and runs like a DREAM!! I have now found my best mechanic for all my repairs. Quality work at excellent prices! It was my lucky day when I found Vince's Auto Repair.Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair

Vince is the man. Had my cars thermostat go out. Was able to limp it to his shop. He hooked me up with a ride to my work and picked me up when he was done. My thermostat wasn't available as my motor was from Japan. But he was still able to modify the thermostat open so I could get the car home about 45 minutes away. There, I can get the correct part and install it myself.

Found this place while looking around for a solution to an electrical issue I had on my 2016 Camry that shut off while driving and would no longer turn on. I changed both battery and alternator. They ran a diagnostic test and turned out it was a bad body control module and they were able to fix the issue for a reasonable cost the same day. This place has good honest workers and my new go-to mom & pop shop. Thanks for the help!

I was recommended to Vince's Auto Repair by my neighbor who spoke very highly of him to begin with. I had two vehicles that were broke down at the same time. I had them both towed to the shop on a Friday afternoon. I received a call from Vince saying that both vehicles were ready to go within a couple of hours! I could not believe that nor could I believe the price for both! Definitely reliable will tell u exactly what is wrong with your car and not trying to take advantage of the situation. I would recommend him to everyone for now on best mechanic in riverside county. Reasonable, reliable , efficient and fast.

I was checking around where is closes auto shop near work, Vince's Auto Repair was by my neighbor sew the review people spoke very highly of him. Call him for ask a quotation for water pump repair, it sound fair price to me. Took the car over and was told 3-4 hours it should be ready. Also help me with other issue I have on the SMOG check. I would recommend him to everyone for now on best mechanic in riverside county. Reasonable and reliable .

Vince is very fair and does an amazing job. Took my car to a few shops and got some ridiculous prices. Vince took a look at my car and told me what needs to be done and what can wait. He was so good I went back right away so he can take care of the vibration issues I had with the car. A few hours later and he changed the engine mounts and some other work and now my car rides like new! Will definitely go back to him in the future. A+ work.

I spent all of today going from auto shop to auto shop trying to figure out how to remove an abs exciter from the back of my rotor so I could replace the studs. I thought that it was machine pressed to the back of the rotor and every mechanic shop I went to said they had no idea how to take it off for me. I ended up getting referred to Vince by a guy at a tire shop in riverside and upon arriving to his place, he showed me how to do it by tapping out the lugs from the front of the rotor which pushed the excited right off. Problem solved and he didn t even charge me. Nice guy, great service, and I ll definitely be coming back here. Thanks for the knowledge Vince.

Vince is so kind and honest, most mechanics take advantage of women and say all kinds of stuff is wrong with the car. Not Vince, he comes out with his engine reader and tells the truth. Thank you Vince

The ignition on my Chevy Truck got punched during an attempted car theft. I was referred to Vince's Auto Service by a family member who will now no longer be taking his vehicles to Vince's. I had my truck towed to his shop and provided him with a new ignition cylinder. After a week with no word from Vince, I called him at which time he stated that the ignition housing had been internally damaged also and he would order a new one. A week later with no word, I called him back. He stated that he had installed the casing, ignition, and door handle, and all he needed to do was re-boot the computer. Another few days went by when I called him and he said he was having another guy come to the shop to program the computer as he could'nt. When I called him again, he told me I had to have my truck towed to the Chevy Dealership to program as he could'nt do it. So he charged me 310.00 for supposidly replacing the ignition casing, ignition Cylinder, and plastic door handle. So as the mechanic at the Chevy Dealership was attempting to program the computer, he noticed that the ignition casing was completely mangled which was ultimately learned that it was never replaced. So now I'm out 750.00 at dealership and 310.00 at Vince's. When I told Vince what happened he blamed it on the guy who supposidly he had try to program the computer. When I asked Vince for the receipt for the casing, he just covered it up by offering me 160.00 which I later received. So he said he replaced the ignition casing which he lied, the door handle looks used, and he was basically hoping that once he put the plastic back around the ignition housing, I would'nt even know until who knows when. When you talk to him he is easy to like, but I really feel for all the people he has lied to as to what kind of work and/or B/O parts he replaced to ultimately put more money in his pocket. This will be reported to the BBB as this is a person's/families worst nightmere from a machanic.Service: Electrical

This guy just saved me like $500 bucksI was about to buy something I didn t need at another store and when I called for a price check he offered to look more in depth at the problem.He took the time to give me a real diagnostic and gave me an honest update as to what I should do.Will definitely be back when I need more work done.

Went in for a axle change, Vince was professional and polite! He did the job quickly and explained what issue my car had. The fastest and cleanest axle change I've ever seen. Highly recommended!

I can't believe vince went above and beyond to find the parts that I needed as everyone knows about foreign cars they are notorious and hard to work on. I took my jaguar to 3 other mechanics and vince was the only one that could figure out what was wrong with my jag. He also went the extra mile to find and purchase the appropriate breaks that could fit my car. I guess he has connections like that!! . I would highly recommend vinces Auto repair to anyone that wants to get there car running excellent and running like New!!!....

Great service, very helpful! Helped me find the correct part for my car! Originally had been sold the incorrect part, he called around and quickly helped me get the correct one. I was going to call for a ride to get it, but he let me use one of his vehicles instead! Highly recommended!

Came out on such a short notice and not only was the service extremely fast but he was also very nice and did everything while I sat in the car. Needed a piece bolted back on because it was scraping while i was driving. So happy to have come here and I ll definitely recommend this place to any others.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

vince and his business have being helping me and my cars for the last years, so far he is basically like no ordinary mechanic he does above and beyond, usually in my case because i have kids i drop my car into his shop he drove me to my house he does the service and he drives the car back to my house just like that, and that is way beyond customer apreciation, his prices are fair and affordable he takes credit, cash, debit parking is accesible has restroom, waiting area and location is just almost next to the freeway so far he knows japanesse cars, luxury cars like Infiniti, lexus and domestic as well, definitely will recommend vince to anyone!!
