Luis Auto Repair

Had my transmission replaced at a good price, and Luis provided me with a 1 year warranty as well. Great Service!

I got a tune up here today, the service was great and my car was finished in a timely manner. In fact, my car was finished a hour before they had originally said. The price was reasonable and fair. I am very pleased with the work done on my car and the price that didn’t hurt my pockets. I had called another shop before I went here and they wanted triple the price of what I paid at Luis’s. I will definitely be returning for all my car needs and recommend them to my family and friends. My car is purring like a kitten again.

Luis is a great person to do business with. He was kind and spoke to me in a way I would understand. He didn’t up the charges and gave me a quote from the start. He didn’t try to upsell me and he made suggestions on what I may need done in the future and why my car sounds the way it does. Everyone in his staff was pretty knowledgeable and can pretty much fix anything. His customer service is amazing! Makes me want to keep coming back. I agree with the other Unilocalers… he is someone who you can trust and come back to. I found my mechanic for life. As long as the service remains the same, I’ll definitely be coming back.
Thank you, Luis! And I definitely will be coming back!
ALSO!
Location is kind of hidden, but it is a gem!
OH!
AND HE DOES SAME DAY SERVICE!!!

Luis is top notch! He does quality work at reasonable prices. It’s hard to find a mechanic that you can trust that’s not going to rip you off. Luis is that guy! I will never take my cars to anybody but him. He put a transmission in for me and my car still runs like a dream. I never have to take my car back when he does work on my cars. I can’t say enough good things about this guy!

Luis was totally awesome. I called in the morning, and he told me to come in that same day to have my car checked out. I’d had friends take a look at it and shake their heads sadly, so I was pretty much expecting him to tell me it was going to be incredibly expensive to fix, and was prepared to invest the money in another car, rather than have this one continue to fall apart as I drove.
Instead of some insanely high estimate, Luis came back with one that was only a few hundred bucks! Not a quick look-​see, either; he outlined all the things that were wrong with it and said he could have it done in a little over 3 hours. I made clear that I wanted to be able to drive it up and down CA regularly, without it dying, and he assured me it was a good car and should be fine (it has been maintained well, but is getting up in years, and was dinged a few times).
My car was done in less than the time he said, and has been running smoothly for the first time in almost a year (it’s been driven several hundred miles since he fixed it). While there, I asked him about some minor things, which he looked at and tinkered with, replacing fuses or readjusting things, at no extra cost.
Really, really great guy, and great shop, overall — everyone I met there was nice, and it’s always a good sign when they have more business than they can get to immediately (ime, garages that are swamped with repeat customers rarely add any unnecessary repairs, since they’re so busy keeping up with the ones they have).
I went to Luis because I happened to be visiting friends in Salinas, but will definitely be making a trek down to see him, the next time my car needs servicing. It’ll be a good excuse to visit friends again, if nothing else, and I know my car will be in good hands!

Two things to know about the place:
They’re not always super easy to get on the phone, first try, and that the shop is right next to the freeway offramp, with its sign somewhat obscured by other businesses’. You just need to turn into the first lot full of cars, and you’ll see Luis.

I cannot say enough great things about Luis and his shop. I found him through the reviews on Unilocal and Google, my son is in CA during an internship when his car started to slip gears, the transmission had just be replaced, so was still under warranty.
Luis worked with us and the transmission company to get a new transmission, put it in the car and get my son back on the road.
Luis gave my son rides back to his apartment on 2 separate occasions, which was a 45 min. drive! Great guy, great service, highly recommended!

All the great things written about this repair shop are absolutely true. I needed to use my parking brake for the first time back on November 10^th, while in the Salinas area. I never used my parking/​emergency brake, but did check it out after it was replaced. However my friend who shall remain nameless used the parking brake and forgot to release it. Such is life. So I stopped in to see Luis. He checked the brake and no charge and informed me that I needed to replace the left rear seal on my Explorer. I asked him to replace the bearing as well, as it is accessible when doing this kind of service. The bearing was also in need of replacement. He provided delivery service. The Quality Inn was only a few blocks away, but he insisted on driving me to and from the motel.
Last Friday I had rear shocks installed on the rear of my Explorer by Discount Auto in Riverside. I noticed that Luis had painted the back cover on the differential. Talk about impressive. Talk about pride of service.
Luis is a kind and honest man. It’s like taking your favorite mechanic with you when your on the road.

I can’t recommend this place enough.
We broke down in Salinas, on our way north. Luis helped us in a pinch when other shops would not. He even stayed late on a Friday night to get us on the road. Great service and great work.
We’re so glad we found Luis. Many thanks!

Wow Luis took good care of us with used tires for my wifes car. Tires still look brand new got a good price for 4 used tires put them on right away. Great service I will always come back to Luis for auto repairs for my car, I would recommend him to my family and friends THANKS LUIS =)

This guy is TOP NOTCH! Refilled my AC in 30mins! I got cool air again! He’s also VERY, VERY nice and accommodating, as well as his staff. Everyone was very professional, well dressed, and respectful. There was no wait time at all; Luis worked on my car as soon as I arrived even without an appointment. And yeah, today is Saturday! Will definitely recommend to others! :D

Really good place… I just did the major tune-​up for my 2005 Acura TL and I couldn’t be any happier!!! The price was resonable, the service was awesome and my car Is running like a champ! will definitely recommend my Family Members as well as my Friends.
