Orange Engine & Parts

It’s rare that you find someone willing to give a helping hand in your time of need, but Steve at Orange Engine did just that for me! I had an issue with my trailer today and it caused the bearing in the hub to blow out just around the corner from their location. I called a few Trailer Repair places in the area and was quoted $ 300-​$ 400 and the average wait for repair would be 3 days. I live about an hour away and didn’t want to pay that kind of money for a simple repair I could have done myself if I were home. Anyway, I was directed to Orange Engine by a woman at Hogan’s Bait shop and they were the solution to my problem! They were very knowledgeable about the parts and even helped a few friends and I replace the blown bearings. I wish these guys were closer to were I live. 100% better than autozone! The total cost of the repair was about $ 60! Thanks Steve!

What can I say about this place. Excellent service here. Our hub went out on our trailer came right in and fixed it in there parking lot. They even came out to help us with the fix. If ever need a part. I would say come here

I have been going to Orange Engine for 20+ years with 100% satisfaction. All parts are high quality, whether new or rebuilt, as there is nothing worse than installing inferior parts. Don’t waste your time with cheap imitations. The guys working here are simply the best, very knowledgable and friendly. Doing the job correctly starts with a visit to Orange Engine.

Went in to get new wipers and was treated to full service assistance. Measured the wipers and installed. So easy. And affordable. Thanks.

I had to give them five stars because they always go the extra step to help. I am a single gal and the tail light went out. I headed over to Orange Engine because, as in so many other times, they saved me. Not only did they have the correct part but he put it in for me! I am so grateful to have this shop in my town as they have installed windshield wipers, light bulbs, etc. not sure what I would do without them.

lace is Great, Always well staffed with very knowledgable people. Fast and reasonable prices. Strongly Recommended!

Great customer service! The staff is very knowledgable in automotive and marine. I recommend them to my friends and neighbors and they are always happy they went to orange engine. They are quick in ordering marine parts they don’t carry in stock and I have had zero problems with any returns. Highly recommend!

Avoid them as much as you can! They try to overcharge you on everything! Should be out of business. The staff are a bunch of cheats and incompetent people.

Came here last weekend to buy a new battery. Even though mine is a year old I never seem to have the time to drive my convertible, so the battery died, twice now.. I had to move my car because I had a new garage door to be installed. The installer was already at my home waiting. so hopped in my other car and came down to buy a new battery to make things quick and easy. Just my luck that battery model was sold out. One of the guys who works there (I never got his name) was great and said he could do a quick charge on it. So it would only be 20 – 30 min. Btw I bought the battery here.
So I ran home. Grabbed my battery and came back. Another guy helped me when I returned and looked at it and said. No problem it will take about an hour and half or so. I told him unfortunately I don’t have that kind of time at the moment. That’s when the other guy who originally helped me stepped in and took the battery back.
I waited in my car because it wouldn’t make sense to go back home given that little of time.
20 or so minutes went by and one of the guys brought it out to me which I wasn’t expected.
Thank you guys so much for taking care of me again. It was GREATLY appreciated!!!
And YES I will drive the car more !!

Always have everything I need in stock. Friendly staff and good prices. Way better than the big box chain stores.

Total Lifesavers! After a problem with the hub on our trailer on our way to Dana Point Harbor and visiting 5 other nearby stores, they had all the answers to get us back on the road! After hearing from everyone else that our part was too rare, they immediately said, no need to replace it, we just need to fix and and minutes later they had done all the research, found another couple of bolts at a store nearby, gotten it all fixed up for us. Wish we would have gone to them first– next time there is no question where we will go! They were very nice and so helpful. Best source for anyone on their way to the marina running into an issue!

I stopped in there yesterday to pick up new windshield wiper blades for my 2006 Expedition. Not only did they find the correct ones, they installed them for me, free of charge! What a relief — I thought that I was going to have to fumble through the installation myself, and I know less than nothing about cars. Price on the blades was very competitive also. I live in Newport but will make the drive down to Dana Point — they are worth it!

I love Orange Engine! These guys know what they are doing. They always have the answer I am looking for and usually have the part in stock. I totally trust them and reccommend them to everyone. They have boat parts too.

Best employees and customer service around. This place is the kind of local store that every town should have. Everything your Vehicle needs with a crew always there to help.

I returned two new «in box» parts ($ 10.00 each) after being told store credit would be given. A counter attendant that identified himself as one of the owners came across as very angry at me and said the counter attendant that told me such a thing would be immediately corrected. I am a local home owner that has purchased parts at Orange Engine in Dana Point for all my vehicles for almost thirty years.

An old school auto parts store, with a side specialty of marine related necessities. Prices are reasonable compared to the chains, O’Reilly, Pep Boys, et al. If you take care of your own vehicle, this is the kind of place that comes closest to being as helpful as your Dad, assuming your Dad was a car guy and is still alive. In any event, highly recommended!
