Wow! This is my third experience with Seba and the guys from crown… consistently fast, professional and affordable. There is an element of honesty found in this garage that one does not often encounter in their profession…

Great place to take your car for a fix up. They get you in an fast with job done right from the first time!

Great place to take your car!!!
I have been going to this place for along time now. I am always satisfied with their services. Siba and Jonathan are wonderful people to work with. They explain everything thoroughly on what needs to be done to your car.
They fixed my nagging check engine light of my slk. Siba help me five years ago when someone hit my audi a4. He took care of all insurance hassle and he kept me informed of what was going on.
I recommend this shop to anyone.

My car needed a smog check, so I went to this place. The smog check site is actually at a different location and that meant having someone else drive my car, to get it checked. I felt comfortable enough to let someone else drive my car… I’m usually anal about this. I waited for a bit and my car passed… and that’s all that really matters. It was a bit pricey, but It was expected. OH! And the staff is very friendly!

This place is A+++++…Their main mission is to fix your car and have you out of there as soon as possible… i came in with a car that was not working what-so-ever…JONATHAN…remember that name… he took my car in and gave it a full inspection… i told him to take his time with my car because it has sentimental value… he took care of my baby and gave it a free car wash when he was done… so far… there have been no problems at all… i feel very confident taking my car here and knowing that it will be in good hands…
I’ve been to crown motors for quite a while now… i have all sorts of things fixed from a tune-​up all the way to an engine swap… i’ve been dealing with them for years now and my cars are still running great… i don’t call anyone else to take care of my car… i almost always take it here… first time i’ve taken my car here was back in 2001… and i will not go anywhere else but here…
so if u want a really good mechanic… you take your car here… they are one of the best ppl i’ve worked with… i have no problems with them and enjoy taking my car here… ps…the civic with the engine swap is still working excellent from 2003… thanks jon!!! :D

Siba’s comments are lies lies lies. My new clutch wore down around 4000 miles because one of his «mechanics» didn’t install it properly. As for the ignition switch, he is simply lying. Not sure why I gave him 500 dollars to fix something he didn’t fix. I have had terrible problems since I brought my car here. NEVER AGAIN. Be nice to know why no one ever returned my phone calls to try and rectify the problem. Treated me like I didn’t exist.

I went to this place because of the good reviews on Unilocal.I had a much different experience with this mechanic.
I brought my car in because the coolant was low — I filled it up myself, but then a week later it was low again. When I brought it in, the owner told me that my warning light means the coolant is low (at which I just batted my doe eyes and said… really sir?). He said just fill it up with coolant again — he even looked under the hood and was kind enough to fill the coolant for me.
Two weeks later I brought it back to Crown Motors — I asked him if it was normal for the coolant to be low AGAIN. Same thing — he just told me to keep water in the car and keep filling it up. I knew that this wasn’t normal — I planned on bringing it to another mechanic eventually to have it checked out.
A week later, my battery died and the guy from AAA who replaced it told me that I had a major coolant leak — and because I had been driving it for so long with the leak, a couple of parts in my engine had been destroyed.
I brought the car to another mechanic, who is great. He noticed the coolant leak immediately — both the AAA guy and this mechanic said that the leak was obvious — he even showed me the leak with a flashlight. Unfortunately the cost of repair was three times what it should have been — because I had been driving it around too long with the leak. If Crown Motors had noticed it one of the two times I brought it in, I would have saved a lot of money.
Based on my experience, I would never recommend this place to a friend.
************* And here is my answer to the owner response below. This is completely, utterly false. They did NOT notice the leak and they did NOT offer to fix anything. I had absolutely no work or schedule conflict… I talked to the guy all of 5 minutes and he sent me on my way. I actually offered to leave the car with him.
Notice that he posted his response TWO YEARS LATER? How in the h-​e-​double hockey sticks would he remember someone from two years ago who he talked to for 10 minutes? Someone with that kind of memory should be able to remember the make and model of my car. Include that in your comment, Crown Motors, and I might give you back an ounce of credibility.
These guys cost me 800 bucks in unnecessary repairs and I’m not about to let them get away with this.
I’m blown away by this blatant dishonesty in responding to my comment. Now I’m going to be even more direct:
DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE.
