Rayes Auto Service

This is the first time I had to use a repair shop in years and was so worried because we have a German car, and their a pain… No more worries. Rayes is such a great place. Very fair pricing. Professional and all mechanics so nice. I didn’t read Unilocal till after we had taken the car there. The good reviews made me feel relieved and now I can honestly get in line with them. As for the guy with the BMW… You bought a BMW, crack open that wallet and go to a certified BMW dealer repair shop.
We’ll be using Rayes again for another repair we have coming up. Thank you!

Got my car serviced here and all I can say is that I’m really impressed and thankful for the work that Jim did l am a little picky on who I allow to work on my Mercedes since not every mechanic knows how to diagnose these cars correctly and I have been burned before. But since getting the car back It runs smooth made me fall in love with it all over again! I won’t take it to anyone else but him for service. Very punctual and honest mechanic. Truly appreciated!

I was vacationing in so cal when my car’s shifter cord broke and I took it in to this shop. They were very helpful, and figured out what was wrong immediately. Jim sent a guy out to a store to get a new cable (since delivery would take to Monday and it was Saturday) they fixed it in a couple hours and I was all set to go! Jim charged a very reasonable price. I was relieved to have put my car in such a good shop, especially since I’m not from the area!

BEST SHOP IN OC. If your looking to get your car fixed quick, fixed right, and for the right price go to this shop.

avoid at all costs. jim assured me that servicing my bmws would be done properly and professionally. he did a transmission oil change on my 750il, and the transmission suddenly breaks. next, he does a powersteering pump job on my 540i, guess what? cheap china parts, break withing the first two months! literally the part broke in half while on my car. avoid at all cost if you value your time, your money, and your peace of mind. crooks, and liars.

This place is amazing. It’s always hard to trust a car mechanic but here, I have no problem taking their word for it! At Rayes you can leave your car to be fixed with confidence. Not to mention their reasonable prices. It says a lot about a mechanic shop that is ALWAYS busy. Definitely recommend!

Super HONEST with reasonable rates. Honest is all you need to know. Definitely come here

My family and I have been going to Jim and the crew for years for all of our auto needs and they do consistent, quality work each and every time! The price is more than fair and the staff are extremely helpful. Flawless from start to finish.
Nobody enjoys a visit to their mechanic but sometimes it’s a must. I would never visit any other place other than Rayes Auto. They go above and beyond and the most important thing of all — you can TRUST them.
I wish I could leave more stars for the rating! Thank you, Jim!

It’s 2015 and I can’t say enough about how Jim at Rayes Auto Service has treated my family and all of my referrals.
Without fail, the job is done as promised and the price is great.
I have to say… in the rare event something isn’t quite fixed take it back, he’ll make good on the service repair.
This place is always packed with cars… why? because Rayes is the Best and has the Best prices.
You can’t go wrong with Rayes.

I have been going to Jim’s for over 6 years now after a good friend referred me to him. He’s the most honest mechanic I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I believe his prices to be fair and he is willing to the extra mile to assist you with vehicle repairs, he will help you save time and money; and will explain the issues with your vehicle and how to avoid them in the future, if they are avoidable.
Whenever I have an issue, I can call and talk to Jim personally. I can have my car towed there even if it is after hours… just drop the keys to the door slot. This is the one place I have never felt badgered or taken advantage of. I know that I can drive away at peace knowing that my car has been repair by the BEST… Jim’s work is guaranteed!
If you’re in the market for an excellent mechanic, look no further Jim is your man, tell him Gloria sent you!

Jim Rayes is the absolute best!
I was screwed over by a dishonest car dealer and Jim has been my go-​to guy after the dealer made the mistake of pretending like the two were buddies (Jim said he didn’t even know him — and said he refused to work on any cars from him after seeing the condition of the vehicle he sold me) and taking my car there in the first place.
He is a genuine and honest man, and isn’t just trying to scam people out of money for matters they know nothing about. He’s even been kind enough to educate me on my car and how it works as we go through the process of fixing basically everything in it since the dealer lied to me about it’s condition.
I had to have the car towed to his shop tonight and the tow truck driver even said he knew Jim Rayes very well and what a great person he is and what a good business he runs — I am very happy to have found this shop despite all the headaches this car has been causing me.

Jim Raye is a very honest mechanic. We ran into dishonesty at the previous shop we were going to. But here they will only fix what is needed & their prices are very reasonable. Our family takes all of our cars there. One day I took my car in for new brakes since they were squeaking, Jim called me & told me to wait on the brakes since the pads had some good life left. That would never have happened at the previous mechanic. They are so popular the cars are always lined up in the driveway. Hope they can get a bigger space soon as they need it!

I have a Toyota corrolla 2001 I was try to change the bearing system on the front wheel they told me it will take 3hour to be done, after four hours and half I called them and they told me to come take the car in the morning next day and when I said I need my car he was arguing me why you need your car, this is the worst service I ever had in my life, I don’t recommend them for lack of honesty

I came here as a referral after getting two prior estimates. Not only did they quote me a cheaper price, they are willing to give me a deal on a future vehicle purchase. Sometimes it really pays to be patient and wait on the Lord.
Any place that offers and prepares me hot coffee in the morning is A+ in my book.

at first i was kinda doubtful if im going to have them fix the 2003 Mercedez 230 coupe that i purchased used for my 18 y/​o daughter. Car was stocked for a year and not in running condition when i bought it. There’s so many work to do including paint touch up. Nothing works but i left the car with him for a few days and i cant believe it ! He made everything worked! he’s very honest and he doesnt take advantage of his customers. I highly recommend this place and from now on he will be taking care of all my cars!

The owner is awesome! He fixed my car in a timely manner and for a reasonable cost. I will always go to him for all my car servicing.

Honesty, consistency. Jim (owner) is a very helpful kind-​hearted individual that does not capitalize on your shortcomings. He views the problem, specifically, and solves that for you. He is full of great advice on how to go about handling the problems that may arise with your car. Things you probably do not know about him.
He was a Master Tech for Shelly BMW.
He is one of the only Mechanics that has built a BMW X5 from scratch (with just the shell)
His credentials are verifiable and is not only a great owner, but a master in his own field.
He has studied in Switzerland.
He is very intelligent, generous, and full of wisdom.
HE IS HONEST (A real honest shop owner)
One of the only shops left where you can deal with the owner, and not get a run around. And the owner knows his stuff!!!
If you have a Mercedes or a BMW. His experience in these type of vehicles old and new are definitely superior to most shops in the area. He will find your problem, he will fix it the right way. I have had experience bringing cars to his shop for over 1 year. And I feel more confident about my friends, families cars more today than ever before. This is my way of saying thank you Jim for saving me a lot of money on my last car (2003 Mercedes E320)
