Mekaniks Plus

New address 130 S Dawson rd.
Love the new location. These guys always help me out !! I roll in with a punctured tire fixed me right up. Windshield wiper switch broke. From basic oil change, brakes, new tires to some big ticket items the men are fair, honest and reasonable. Thank you for always helping my family out.

My husband and I went in there to give business to this EUROPEAN SPECIALIST and I am so sorry I wasted 24 hours with these people.
I won’t mention names but I had to call them 2 – 3 times just to get them
to give me a quote on my vehicle after we personally went in there.
They also don’t answer the phone unless you let it ring 50 times.
The young service manager said well… i’ll email you right away, and that was 24 hours ago and I felt like I was inconveniencing them when I called to find out what happened to my estimate. Guess what, I am still waiting and I won’t be doing business with a place that doesn’t want to do business with my family.

I bring all my cars here for service. Christian and Morris are great and I always give fair prices on the services.
I highly recommend them for all types of cars.

I honestly feel safe knowing my VW is here. They give fair prices for the expensive labor that is involved with these European vehicles. The service guys help you understand what is happening with your car and they keep you informed as the process continues. I will forever take my car here!!! Thanks guys!

Horrible service! They quoted me over $ 4000 to fix an oil leak on my 540i and stated that the engine needed to be removed to do the repair. Took it to another shop who found the actual source of the leak which was as simple repair. $ 140 later it’s dry as a bone!

Do NOT take your car to MEKANIKSPLUS on Adolfo in Camarillo! They broke the plastic trim in my overhead liner while trying to diagnose my electrical problem. Then when I called them on this, they said that the part was an after market part that had been glued. In fact, this was a first generation bluetooth part and was standard for this model — factory installed. They said I needed a new passenger seat and a/​c dashboard fan. Then they quoted me almost $ 2,000 for these unnecessary repairs. My Hyundai dealer fixed everything for a total of $ 420. The a/​c and passenger light was fixed when the dealer installed a new fuse! Mekaniks Plus should be ashamed of themselves for trying to cover up their mistake and using unscrupulous business practices. I will tell everyone I meet to avoid this place like the plague.

I had some wheels mounted/​balanced by these guys and I had to bring my car back a second time as I was experiencing a slight vibration. During my second visit, the «shop foreman» tells me that he’s having difficulties re-​balancing the wheels. He starts blaming (assuming) that the wheels are of poor quality and that he’s never heard of the wheel brand (Forgestar). I admit that Forgestar wheels aren’t the ‘cream of the crop’, but they’re far from «cheap» wheels. Anyways, he goes back and re-​balances the wheels the best he could. I go outside to check out the amount of wheel weights he placed and all I see is left over adhesive residue from when he took off the old weights. WTF? He didn’t have the professionalism and decency to remove the old residue. Even Discount Tires will remove the old sticky residue during rebalancing! Plus, he tells me that the powdercoat is peeling/​cracking on one of the wheels. What?!? I have no idea if the damage was a result of him or if it is indeed a defect of the powdercoat. Thankfully, the shop I had the wheels powdercoated from is offering to fix it.
Overall, it was a complete mess and I had to spend an hour cleaning the wheels trying to get the old adhesive residue off. I have a feeling the weights are going to end up flying off because some of them aren’t placed very well (some are slightly hanging off the surface edge). I think the negligence to clean up the wheels (and sloppy placement of the wheel weights) is indicative of the work they do. But, at least my steering wheel doesn’t vibrate anymore…

I just got my car back from there today. The customer service was friendly and efficient, and they were able to get me an estimate as soon as possible (something a lot of mechanics won’t do until they already charge you for the diagnosis). I was worried there would be extra services that needed to be performed in order to get my car running again, but they diagnosed exactly what was wrong and weren’t pushy about the extra recommendations in order to make more money. I got my coil kit installed, hoses and spark plugs replaced for a VERY reasonable and affordable price. They were also willing to work with me as far as dropping off my car after hours. This is definitely my go-​to mechanic now in Camarillo.
