I recently had the pleasure of working with Steven at Tashmo Auto Repair, and I have to say, it was an exceptional experience. Here s why: Expertise and Efficiency: Steven s knowledge of automotive repair is truly impressive. He diagnosed and fixed the issue with my car in record time. It s clear he knows his stuff inside and out. Clear Communication: One thing that stood out was Steven s ability to explain the problem and solution in a way that was easy for me to understand. He didn t use technical jargon unnecessarily, which I really appreciated. Attention to Detail: I could tell that Steven takes pride in his work. He went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the repair was done meticulously. It gave me a lot of confidence in his abilities. Fair Pricing: Given my interests in making money, I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable pricing. It s evident that Steven values providing value to his customers, which is a rare find in the auto repair industry. Friendly Demeanor: Throughout the process, Steven maintained a friendly and approachable attitude. He was open to answering any questions I had, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about his customers.In summary, Steven at Tashmo Auto Repair is a gem in the world of automotive repair.

My first visit there and received excellent service!Took my old subaru for transmission leak. Steve did great job checking transmisison and fuel leak and confirming all is well. I just got transmisison fluid flush and fill and they charged very reasonable and waived some diagnosis fees as well.yes- I will not hesitate to go again and recommend to others.

Ive brought my 3 vehicles ive owned throughout the years to get serviced here and they always do a quick and excellent job for a great price. My immediate family also brings their vehicles here for any maintenance. If I could rate this place more than 5 stars I definitely would.

I took in my 1991 LS400. I had put in lots of money from other shops, and several mechanics did NOT want to touch my car. I even took it to the dealer to get it diagnosed, and they did not diagnose it correctly. I took it to Tashmo and diagnosed the correct items (since the owner was a former Lexus mechanic) and got the repairs done for a good price. Runs like a dream now. When I got the car back, the owner was kind enough to take my car to the wash since it got dirty in the busy shop (don't go asking for it, however :P). Highly recommend this shop if you own a 90s classic!Services: Electrical repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

Terribly cheap work. Saw them on Instagram and had faith in their skills before I came in August 2022. I work on my own vehicle, but due to my work scheduling at the time I needed someone else to do the work I don't have the time or equipment owned to do. They claimed the way they were doing the service would be easier for them to perform the work. While doing other work on my own time, I am still finding broken clips, anchors, harness connectors, burnt harness shields, leaking hoses, A/C doesn't function. I told him its no rush as the vehicle has strong sentimental value. Beyond disappointed with the subpar work.Service: Engine repair

Very professional, great pricing. They just did the 2.5 inch lift on my 2004 Toyota 4runner and gave me the best pricing and service. It was even done an hour early (which never happens with shops!). I work at Subaru, and will be sending any customers I can to help sustain their business. I'll be going back myself in the coming weeks for brakes and other things.

This is my go to spot. I've been coming here for 7 years and am always recommending my friends.They have amazing service, good prices, and it feels like a family setting. I would bring my Honda civic hybrid '04, and now my Honda civic 2015. They work with all makes and models.

Went in to get my 2000 Acura Integra 1.8 LS engine rebuilt. The dudes were really cool with answering all my questions and did a badass job on my car. They called me with updates on other things they saw that should be fixed and gave me a really great deal on all the repairs. Will definitely be taking my car back for any future repairs. I highly recommend checking them out Service: Engine repair

I don t know why I haven t given a review. This place is very economical and quick for service. Danny is always great with explaining the services and needs of my car. His words aren t many but he goes straight to the point. I been a customer for a long time and he sometimes throws in a tire rotation on my oil changes. I guess because I try to tip when I can. I also recommend my friends when they ask me where I take my cars for oil change. Hands down a comfortable place to take you cars for repairs and services.... thanks Danny keep it up bro. My name is Danny you might remember me.

Great help, lots of knowledge and reasonable priced. Discount if you pay in cash. I take my 07 wrx here and they do an amazing job and will let me know if they see any issues and if you need to replace it now, soon or later. Check them out and get the help for your car that you want, without pressure.

I am so so happy! Currently in LA from Utah and my car starts making these weird noises. Originally thought it was the radiator fan and called about 15 places, this one quoted the cheapest but also still seemed to have quality of service. Arrived and it turned into being something else wrong which was a lot cheaper and they charged me less then the quoted price. Extremely efficient, in and out so quickly and felt prioritized. Super grateful!!!

I called up the manager and asked for a quote . I knew he was quoting a reasonable price and I set up an appointment. I did not have to wait because my appointment was at Noon but he still accommodated me. The service was a breeze and I must say the manager was very courteous, respectful and very knowledgeable. I am sold and will go back to him more often.Service: Transmission

These guys were so helpful. Our SUV was continuously overheating while it was stopped and we were stuck in traffic but they waited for us. When we got in, the new thermostat didn't fit but they made sure to order another thermostat and waited till it arrived. They also cleaned up our engine bay (wherever there was dirt on it), filled up the coolant, installed the new thermostat at a very reasonable price, and we were on our way! I even stopped in the next day just to check my coolant level and they were so helpful. They checked for any leaks which there wasn't any, filled up our transmission fluid and even didn't charge for it.Thanks very much Tashmo Auto Center for your help. :)

Have only had great experiences here. I have big things front and rear breaks completely replace on an old Acura and things as simple as squeezing me in for a quick oil change the owner is great at communicating what needs to get done. They work fast and do quality work. The process are very reasonable. I Would reconned them to anyone

I took my car in today for an oil change because it was cheaper then anyone else in the area. they called me with numerous maintenance items for my car (struts, serpentine belt, etc.). When i went back the mechanic went through everything with me so i could see the issues for my self. i honestly appreciate it because it seems like most mechanics either do not check or get mad when you ask them to show you. i will continue my business at this location.

I'm sure they do good work . Customer service wasn't good at all . They mechanic rushed me to explain what was wrong, made me feel uncomfortable , didn't even want to finish explaining the rest of my problems once I heard the quote , nor do I even want to bring it in . It's amazing how one person can mess up your whole experience before it even starts.

Very happy with my experience here. They identified and resolved the source of an oil leak, and took care of a needed brake pad replacement as well. They were very fast, the price was very reasonable.

I have brought my car here a few times now and I keep coming back because they do good work! Very professional and fast. The employees are friendly and go out of their way to answer questions. Thank you, Daniel!

Wish I knew about this place sooner. Honest, great work and great prices. Originally took my car someplace and was told the problem was something that didn't even need to be repaired. The owner double checked instead of fixing what I told him needed to be repaired

Best mechanics in Santa Ana. They work incredibly fast and do great work. I plan on returning with any future car problems I encounter

Inexpensive and fast. I won't dock points for it, but know that parking is a hassle because they will likely be packed with all of their spots taken, and my GPS led me to their side entrance that was blocked so I had to pull out and drive all the way around to their front. Just park wherever is nearest and they'll take care of the rest. They will likely be my new OC spot for all non-dealer work though
