Mo’s Garage

Still as good as it gets!
I use to live only a couple miles away from Mo’s Garage. Now I live about 10 miles away. However, I still know that if I can, I get it to him. I wonder how many miles it would take to finally have to start looking for another competent and honest mechanic. 50? 100? I, honestly, don’t know. Finding a mechanic you can depend on is like finding a life long friend. It’s rare and you should cherish it.
I suppose I should really be thinking about towing cost opposed to miles. How much would I be willing to pay to bring my car to Mo’s Garage after so many years of dependability, great service, and that invaluable piece of mind? When you consider the alternative of all those con-​men and shysters out there, the answer is whatever it takes.

Definitely my trusted mechanic now. I needed the engine replaced on my F150, and he did a great job for a better price than the other quotes I got. Came back to him for my brakes and rotors. Totally satisfied with both repairs. Mo is a friendly and honest guy, he’ll take good care of you.

I’m so glad I found this place and took my car here. My car was heating up and I was worried I needed a new radiator but Mo took a look at it and noticed it was a quick fix but still took the time to double check everything and explained what went wrong. He was the nicest guy and the best part was he didn’t even charge me! Most mechanics wouldn’t have been so honest and would have charged me regardless. I’m excited I now have a go to place for my car problems and an honest owner that genuinely takes care of his customers. Rest assured your car will be taken care of, Mo is awesome!

I would definitely recommend Mo. Very professional, knows what’s he talking about, and is not pushy. He recommends some fixes if you need them and points you in the right direction. Nice guys, great quality work, and expertise. 5 stars easy!

He is my auto doctor now.
I was referred to him by my father. I have had service done twice since then. Both times have been 100% satisfaction.
He is honest, explains everything including options, price and time.
I have since let my friends and family know to use him when in need.

This review will be short and to the point. I brought my car in this morning to Mo’s garage to fix and I was worried that something major was wrong with my car. Mo called me in the afternoon and said it was a very minor thing and didn’t even charge me. I can’t believe how nice he was and what great customer service he provided.

Mo became my new permanent mechanic the first time i used his services. He is fast and highly competent, but most important, he is unflinchingly honest. Somehow he keeps fixing my problems for free or for far less than i expect. I can’t recommend him and his crew highly enough!

Honest, trustworthy, courteous man. Mo does good work in a very timely manner and takes the time to explain what is needed, why and when it is not in your best interest to make a repair due to value of car, which I appreciate.

Mo was at CarAid and I followed him to Mo’s Garage. I’ve been with him for over 10 years. I need a reliable car and I trust Mo to keep all my cars running well. He explains what I need, when I need it or if I can wait and for how long. He even sends me to different shops to get a better price than he can give me. Truly saving me a buck. Yay for Mo!
He fixes our Toyota, Dodge, and Honda. He is the owner and I like to support family owned shops. If you are lucky, you’ll meet his wife and sweet twin boys.
Won’t take my car to anyone else…

Mo Alihassan is the owner and operator here. He always takes time to fully explain the issues with your vehicle.
Mo prides himself on using only O.E.M. parts whenever possible. He will keep your old parts to show you what was wrong and what he did. Prices are average and fair in the industry.
Had 3 encounters with Mo’s garage. All were very satisfying. Mo is honest and extremely busy with a very faithful following.
Parking can be a real pain in the small automotive service center where Mo’s Garage is located.
Hard to find guys like these in a business where so many auto repair shops have been caught ripping people off.
I own a 2003 Tundra and a 2003 Envoy. Mo is my go to guy for my auto servicing needs.

Mo’s Garage was great. Had a problem with a work truck. I had the driver take it in and Mo was able to quickly diagnostic the issue and help us out. He was very nice, informative, and he didn’t try to take advantage of us by charging us a bunch of $$ for unnecessary repairs. Thanks Mo!

I found this place by chance but I’m glad I did, I got stuck on the freeway and got towed to the nearest shop. After looking at my car it seemed to be worst than I thought but Mo took care of me same day on top of his busy work load and saved me soo much money, he’s genuine and he really put the effort in. shout out to his other mechanic Alex also, he’s really cool, he was helpful and nice. I usually don’t write reviews unless I’m 100% satisfied or completely disappointed, so thumbs up to them.

Our family has been trusting Mo with our vehicles since before he opened his own place as Mo’s Garage. Mo «gets» cars. He doesn’t make unneeded repairs and takes the time needed to educate the customer. We feel fortunate to have him in our neighborhood.

Hubby and I love Mo’s Garage! The best in the west! Mo cares, is honest and communicates well with his customers. Was recently going to travel, but Mo strongly suggested I not travel until I bought new tires. So he sent me to a place that offered a great price! Thank you Mo!

If you want to support small local businesses, then bring your business here! This is a mom and pop small business and they’re doing it right!
The owner, Mo, works on sight and makes sure everything goes smoothly with almost every car that comes through!
The mechanics he employs are very knowledgable and know how to diagnose the problem and get it done efficiently!
Here’s my favorite all time experience from Mo’s garage:
My check engine light was on and I wasn’t able to smog test my car until it had been serviced. I took my car to Mo’s and he told me he’d call me personally in a couple hours after they sorted it out. I was away from the shop for less then an hour when I got the call from Mo. He told me my car was fixed and to come back in to pick it up. I was a little confused because I wasn’t accustomed to such fast service so I was even more baffled when I got back and my bill was 20.00… I asked Mo what was wrong and he explained that the seal on my gas cap was old and cracked and not pressurizing the fuel system– which triggered the service light. He put on a new rubber seal and told me he couldn’t accept anymore than 20.00 for the work he did! Such honesty!
A lot of mechanics would take advantage of people with little working knowledge of cars (like me) and overcharge by hundreds of dollars but not Mo! He’s honest, helpful and hardworking! He’s definitely earned my business for life and I recommend him to all my friends when they’re in need of a mechanic!
This is by far the place to go! Ditch your shady mechanic and head over to Mo’s!!!

I’ve been to Mo’s only once so far and actually didn’t have any repairs performed, which may sound odd but speaks to their integrity. I took in my 180k mile Tacoma in with a pronounced shimmy that rattled the floorboards and hood. I asked them to check the ball joints out, and while they were at it the brakes (still factory with 180k). An hour or so later I got a call, everything was fine, even the brakes! The issue was as simple as tire balance and they gave me a good recommendation of a shop to have that done at. They pointed out some non-​critical wear on a gasket which tells me they did an inspection beyond my simple concern, but that was it, an honest diagnosis of «besides the mileage, all the parts are in good condition.» And the thing that most impressed was there was no charge for that diagnosis, which I was certainly expecting.
I haven’t had a good preferred mechanic since the 90’s, but I believe I have just found one. They are genuine, honest, and communicate well with their customers. I recommend them/​him.
Note: 4 stars will probably become 5 once I have something that actually needs fixing.

The axle on a car I had just purchased from Craigslist flew off on the freeway! Needless to say my car ended up in the tow yard, I had it towed to Mo’s after seeing the reviews and because it was within the free distance it needed to be in to get it free from Triple A.
This guy is legit, sweet, honest and has great coffee in his place. He gave me honest advice, had compassion for me, gave me different options, but the nicest part was his calm attitude, I didn’t feel like I was alone in this mess
Being a woman you never know what to expect with mechanics. I like that his wife works there as well at times. The guys at his shop are all very helpful, no-​one is rude!
Great pricing, and a great man
Thanks for making my tragedy bearable ! :) I’ll be back as you have earned my trust.

I have taken my cars for service to Mo when he worked at CarsRX and now to him at his own place of business at Mo’s Garage for over 15 years. I live in South Orange County and it’s not a quick trip, especially in traffic, to go to Santa Ana but it’s well worth it because Mo is the most honest mechanic you could ask for. He doesn’t charge you if he doesn’t find a problem or can’t fix the issue — who does that anymore?
My wife and I have high end luxury cars and the local dealerships offer loaner cars and are much more convenient but their costs are so much higher we will always utilize Mo for service. We’re so happy to support a local businessman because he cares and does it the right way.

I came to Mo because my car was severely overheating. I thought the worst and assumed that it was going to be a blown head gasket or something else that would cost me hundreds to fix. I left it for him overnight and the next day he called me saying that they had to replace a hose and that my car was bone dry when it came to the water (I had just gotten an oil change somewhere else that week and they were supposed to top of my fluids, clearly not going back there!) $ 85 out the door!
I was so happy that he didn’t try to finagle his way into my non-​existent money bags by charging me hundreds.
Wonderful service, stand up guy.

Alright people. Let me lay it out for you. Mo is the shit. Honestly.
«How are you qualified to give such a bold review?» you might ask… Well, take a seat and I’ll tell you all about it because I’m at work and this will make me look busy for a while. Win-​win-​win situation.
I used to live across the street from Mo — that’s right, the man himself. One lovely evening I got home from picking my car up from another shop and realized my car wasn’t fixed at all. Long story short, I’m in my driveway shouting expletives at the mechanic who charged me an arm and a leg to NOT fix my car, and Mo came over to take a look. Fixed my car for way less than I paid the other fellow and gave honest opinions about what to look into and what to hold off on.
Recently, my vehicle took another dump on me. Took it to Mo and he went above and beyond to get it back on the road again. I’ll be bringing my car to him as long as I live in the area, and you should too. Super trustworthy, super nice.
