Ace Auto Parts

After leaving I was so impressed by the customer service, I decided to sit in the car and write this review immediately so I wouldn’t forget. Bruce the owner was so helpful. I went in to by wax to biff out some scratches on my car. Overwhelmed by the selection I ask for some advice. He explained step by step what I needed and what I didn’t need. I was pleasantly surprised he didn’t try to sell me the most expensive products. He simply handed me the products I needed and didn’t try to sell me a bunch of crap. He even took the time to go outside and look at the scratches on my car. For the first time in my adult life I felt like my grandpa did when I went to the neighborhood auto parts store back home in Pennsylvania.
When going to paces like oriellys and the other chains I always delta with some young kid just out of high school who don’t know anything the computer didn’t tell him or her. I recommend this place because of the customer service and the prices were nice and fair. Let’s help businesses like this who thrive of off honesty and customer service stay around.

This is a local auto parts store with a lot of inventory. They have a great selection of hot rod performance items and great prices. I love this shop! The owners are full of knowledge and I seen them go out and install the parts for them for free if they are not busy with customers. I been to alot of custom shops and is far the best I been to and only way you find this place is by word of mouth and reputation!

Good prices and great advice. Bruce knows his stuff.

Greatest parts store ever! Customer Service is the Best! Bruce, and Andrew are both extremely knowledgable in auto parts! No other parts store can compare. I’ve been to lots of parts stores and I find Ace to be the Best! I moved to Santa Ana and I make special trips passing several other parts stores to go to Ace! They are a true Legacy. My Dad bought parts there when I was much much younger. Now I shop there all the time too. Why mess around when you can just see the best. They will press bearings, turn brakes, I’m sure I’m missing other things.
Great Prices!
Awesome Service!
Expert Knowledge and Advice!
If you shop at any other store you are wasting your time!

20 minutes before closing time the day after Thanksgiving I’m looking for a low beam headlight because I’m driving around HB with one headlight. I call HB Ford dealer and they are nice enough to say they don’t have the part but any auto supply will have #9006. I call Ford dealer in Costa Mesa and they say $ 25 for one bulb, and they’re closing soon. Not all bulbs are alike maybe the $ 25 bulb was an extra bright high-​quality bulb that would last longer, but I need a light. I Unilocal auto supply and found Ace close to me and called and Bruce looked it up and said he had it, $ 11. It came down to driving around with one headlight or not, I chose Ace. I get there and Bruce has it sitting there for me, I try to put it in on my own and Bruce comes out with a flashlight then I need a tool and he loans it to me and all of this within 20 minutes before he has to close.

We randomly found this auto parts store this morning, as we were waiting to shop at Petco. We asked for windshield wipers for my car, since it needed to get replaced. Only $ 10 each for windshield wipers, and I bought two since my car needed both wipers replaced (the rubber was falling off).
The rep inside the store helped us to look up which wiper size fit our car model, and also helped us install the windshield wipers too! Very nice and efficient, one stop shop. :)

I was a mechanic for 15 years and my dad has been one for over 50… I originated from NorCal and was always used to buying parts from places like Ace. I have lived in HB for almost 5 years and just finally found Bruce… He did not have the part on hand for my Mercedes, but he told me he could have it the next day. He called a couple of hours later that he received it and I could pick it up at any time. Although we have not met in face to face, I am sure I will soon anough as I will now never need to go to the cahin places ever again. So glad these smaller independant places are still around. Thanks again Bruce…

I’ve been coming to Ace for years.
They are honest, knowledgeable, and friendly.
they will even install wipers, and some bulbs,
especially nice if I don’t have time. I send my wife in for wipers and they take care of it.

They were so helpful this morning! My break lights were out so Bruce (I believe that’s the owner) helped me take the old bulbs out and put in the new. Easy process but for a car dummy like me, it was very helpful. Oh and it only cost $ 3:)

This is the first place I’d got to if I needed any machining done (brake drums, etc.) or any real advice or parts. This place is the real deal. Oh-​if you need nuts, bolts, etc, there’s gobs of them in a special bin/​section. THAT you don’t find everywhere. Make him your go-​to guy.

This place is amazing. I had two tail lights out and needed to replace them. I called ahead to ace to see if they carried the parts. The man on the phone was very helpful and informed me that they carried the lights I needed. I went over to purchase the lights and the man who I believe was the manager went outside and replaced both sides for me for no extra cost. I highly recommend this store. They have everything you need and they are willing to help you out. You don’t see that too often these days — thank you!

Love these guys they went over and above for a special order for me for my 2003 chevy silverado hd. for a dash assembly .ask for Andrew very sharp guy.

I’ve been going to these guys for parts on my 1973 plymouth duster for years. They are professional, knowledgable and really care about customer service and try their best too get your problems solved! Great store!

Awesome first time experience! These guys found everything I needed, quick, fast and cheap! I finally found my favorite local auto parts place! Keep up the great job guys!

Needed some wind shield wipers for my son’s VW Jetta, and visited this place. Andrew was so helpful, from start to finish, in less than 10 minutes, I have new wipers, and Andrew installed them for me too! Highly recommend Andrew!

This place has been here for years and they know their stuff. Do you do your own oil? They have what you need. They will also take your old oil and see that it is recycled. Are you doing your brakes the right way? They have the parts and can turn those disks and drums reasonably. They can tell you how your charging system is doing. Which code your car’s computer threw when the Check Engine light came on. The people are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. And they have parts for your average car, my Ford PI, or high performance stuff like nitrous oxide and racing fuel! I won’t go anywhere else. Unless it’s Sunday and I gotta have something. Sunday Ace is closed. I think they all go to the races or something, hehe. Shop there if you can. You won’t regret it. Peace.

Very nice people. They are doing something right. I went in there told them what I needed. They were quick and friendly. I wish they were in LA.

In a day and age where most don’t give a sh$t, these guys do by a long shot. Came in looking for wiper blades – this guy actually went outside to my car, pulled the old ones, went back in and sized and got the right ones, THEN went back outside and installed them. And all of this without asking him to do so. AWESOME! So what’s that get them? My loyalty. I will DEFINATELY come back here to get my auto stuff.

Great local business. Support your local businesses.

Hi, my name is Dan H and I am a lame ass.
Especially when it comes to do it yourself car stuff. Last time I tried changing my then wifes oil the wrench gave way and slammed my fingers into the gravel shield. Well, I severely lacerated a finger and ended up getting stitches that threatened to put a damper on our 1^st Jamaican trip. That was it for me!
To the rescue… the guys at AAP! Cheery, polite, helpful auto parts dudes! Thanks CPHAP Dudes!
Seriously, these guys are great and will even help you put on stuff like windshield wipers if you are a Major Lame Ass like me. Feel free to tip them if you impose on them like I do, it makes me feel a little less lamely.
Clarification; they dont change oil, just like me! Go elsewhere for that dangerous task.
