Strege Automotive

The positive reviews are accurate. See Dean very knowledgeable and honest. The prices are reasonable and understandable to the fact that family owned business need to survive. On the other hand I wished I did a smog test here rather than saving few dollars at a Fullerton test only center with horrible service.
By the end of the day I had a 02 sensor replaced and a passing smog test. Thanks Strege Automotive!

THEY LEFT THE MOTOR MOUNT ASSEMBLY COMPLETELY LOOSE AND TOLD ME NUMEROUS TIMES «Don’t worry you can drive it.» They wanted me to wreck my car!
Ladies don’t do business here unless you have a man (who’s a mechanic), to help to you stick up for yourself. I had to face them alone. I told them I thought the problem was a broken motor mount, because I had the problem in one of my previous cars. They found a broken motor mount but would not replace it unless I replaced the transmission. I disagreed, when I came to pick up the car, I knew better than to drive it, so I took it to a National Corp, about a hundred feet away, they found the bolts hanging loose. I came here because of a family recommendation (a mechanic), and the other 5 star reviews, but it didn’t work out that way for me. Buyer Beware!

For decades I have been going to Strege. I usually leave the car and say do what ever has to be done to make it perfect. Just a check up or major fix.
I remember 2 decades ago when they had to manufacture some parts for my old work van.
My cars, our vans, everything has been maintained by these great guys.
I took my car to a company nearby for a brake job only because Strege is far from my house.
The crazy price Pep Boys quoted me made me think twice. So I took it to Strege for a second opinion — they quoted me a much better price and said that some of the work was unnecessary.
Why go anywhere else?

I’ve had Strege Automotive work on my car for the last 3 years with the following results: (2005 Ford Focus)
1. Honest, straight-​forward and discerning advice and whether a replacement of some kind is needed now or in the future. The Strege Automotive team will give me a realistic timeline of what is wearing down, be it brakes/​pads/​other components so that I can anticipate what I will pay in the future. (Other mechanics I’ve been to overwhelm with high-​level terminology in order to create unnecessary urgency of parts — i.e. more money and a form of misleading information). In the process, I’ve become a more informed car owner and aware of the natural wear-​and-​tear and how to approach maintenance in a ‘preventive’ rather than ‘reactive’ way.
2. Fair pricing. As stated in #1, I’ve never felt pressured or confused about what my car needs and/​or I am paying for. They lean to the side of conservative advice that gives me a fair opportunity to make an informed decision about part replacements.
3. Quality: Attention to detail… Oil/​filter changes have been my most common visits. Strege Automotive lets my oil drain out for an extended time (several minutes instead of 10 seconds) before sealing. Otherwise ‘quick oil changes’ don’t ensure that residue/​used oil is fully removed.
*I’d highly recommend this place!

Honest reliable service. Dean & John service my personal vehicle and work vans. They are always up front about what needs to be done and are reasonable in their prices. When I really need a quick turnaround they always do their best to deliver.

Need an honest mechanic look no further!
Its a family affair down there, I think two brothers own the joint, with one of them bringing their son on board to learn the ups and downs of the lifts in the car fixing biz. There was also a crazy haired guy hogging one of the lifts with his ‘race truck’ I think he was part of the family too, so I let it slide.
Anyway great service fair prices, are they the cheapest around? No? Do you eat at an empty restaurant to save a buck? Well maybe you do, but these guys wont kick your filter through the oil and sell you a marked up one. Just honest work at fair prices.

Have been bringing my «fleet» to John and Dean for almost 25 years and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. Hate to buy new cars since I don’t want to deal with the dealerships. My daughter actually takes her new Lexus to them for oil changes since they are trustworthy and much cheaper than the dealer. Asked their opinion on a used car we were considering buying and as soon as they said they didn’t work on that type, we didn’t buy it. You can trust them not to do any work not absolutely necessary.

Not only do they know their profession and can fix your car, but they are straight up HONEST and TRUSTWORTHY! Not to mention prices are not an arm and a leg and fair/​compeitive, in addition to peace of mind that my car was fixed correctly and taken care of.
Plus they don’t try to up sell you on things that aren’t necessary or work that is not needed. Family owned and operated which shows in the pride they have for their work and I have no
They just don’t have auto shops like these anymore where you can trust them in doing the job right, priced competively, and treated like an old friend every time.
140K on my nissan and still purring like a beast. Won’t take my car anywhere else for work needed.

Great shop — honest, good work, fair prices, will work to save you $, install only what is needed, on-​time, serviced my F150 since new — now has 240,000 miles. Strongly recommend

These dudes will fix you up. Brought my car in here thinking it would cost a fortune, and it came out to something totally affordable (which was nice, since I’d already spent a fortune at other places). Honest, prompt, and all around good dudes. I’ll probably take my car back here next time something falls off.
