Greg’s Orange Auto

The guys at Greg’s are awesome. JR is doing a great job running the place just like his dad before him. This shop is reliable, efficient, trustworthy, and very fairly priced. I highly recommend Greg’s Orange Auto.

I called for a quote and JR gave me a fair one. I came in early the next morning (they are BUSY) to get the services I needed (water pump/​steering pump) and the only thing they charged me more for was an extra belt associated with the water pump. No add ons or upsells, random charges for associated services that you’d expect to be included, «magically broken» things or nonsense recommendations, even when I asked if there were any problems they had noticed along the way. These guys are HONEST mechanics.
In terms of work, they completed everything within the allotted time, always wiped down their hands before handling anything in my car, and cleaned the engine bay well before returning it to me. They even diagnosed another problem I had free of charge, and made a down to earth recommendation on whether or not it would be worth it to fix it for the price (it wasn’t)
Tips? Call the day before, then get there at 7:30 if you can. Jobs start rolling in crazy fast after they open.

Came to this place and Greg took me right in and finished the job very quickly. I had a bad starter and the work was complete less then 2 hours. His quote on the phone did not change from when I brought the vehicle in for service. This was my first time here and I have to say that Greg seems like a honest mechanic and doesn’t try to rip you off. Thanks Greg for you excellent service.

Gregs automotive is an excellent place to take your vehicle for regular check ups and maintenance on all your vehicles or for any special needs. Pat is an awesome mechanic and JR is as pleasant and welcoming as you can expect from the moment you walk in the door. All the employees are very knowledgeable and they know their way around vehicles. I’ve been bringing my truck here for a couple years now and I never leave unhappy. Thanks guys cause when you don’t know much about vehicles such as myself it’s nice to know that you have a good honest place to get your maintenance done and Gregs more then qualifies.

These guys were great and helped me exchange my battery that was under warranty but AAA wouldn’t replace! Quick and efficient, got me to my meeting my meeting ontime! Great service.

Greg and JR are the best! They go above and beyond when it comes to customer service as well as quality car repair. I’ve always hated having to get my car fixed because I never felt like I could trust the company or mechanic– I felt like unnecessary things were being added on. Not at Greg’s! I finally found a place where people are honest! They’ve worked on my ford focus twice now and both times I’ve walked away extremely happy. They are also very accommodating. I left town while my car was being repaired and they let me keep it there for 5 extra days. I’ve definitely recommended them to family and friends! Plus they are AAA approved, so you know you are getting quality parts with warranties as well! Honesty and Quality is what you get at Greg’s Orange Auto!

Greg & J. R are Aweeesomme! AAA referred them to me when I needed a mechanic close by. Having an older car means I need to stay on top of the maintenance quite often. Anytime I have a car problem they’re willing to take it in & have a diagnosis for me ASAP (depending on how busy they are). At other mechanics, they don’t even care to give you a courtesy call & let you know the estimated time you will be without your vehicle! These guys provide Great Customer Service!

Greg & JR have taken care of my breaks, shocks, and tires. I was so happy with their work and professionalism that I recommended them to my mom. Today, they replaced my mom’s tires. When mama’s happy, we’re all happy.
We are happy. Thank you!

I have been here twice and both times it has been fast and easy. The first time was for my oil change. I don’t know a lot about cars and it’s usually pretty obvious so I have to be careful not to go to places that will take advantage. Greg was helpful, informative and most importantly, not overpriced!
Today was my 2^nd visit and again, fast and easy. As someone who doesn’t want to deal with the hassles of auto repair, it’s nice to know that I can come here and be treated well and get in and out in a timely manner.
This is definitely the place I will recommend to friends and family. Finding someone honest in this industry isn’t easy, so I’m pretty happy I found Greg!

I had a chance to come across Greg’s Orange Auto this morning at 630AM in the morning through AAA. A huge trash bag the size of a horse was rolling in the middle of the fast lane and it completely destroyed my front undercover protector for the radiator on my Prius. At my age, you get to know a little about a car in how to maintain it and what to do when you get in a situation like this. At 6 in the morning, it is a pleasure to have a hard working mechanic like Greg in and around Orange County. I will tell you that Greg and his son works hard to keep their customers satisfied. I was very pleased with his assessment in what to do today and will very likely come back when I find myself needing a sound, honest mechanic in Orange County.

When my Saab would not suddenly start two years ago, I got it towed to a local mechanic, one that AAA had highly recommended. Upon bring it in the staff was friendly and helpful and diagnosed a fuel pump failure rather quickly. I gave them the okay to work on it right away and the estimate came out to about $ 900. This being my first car and all, I gave them the thumbs up without doing much outside consulting or comparative shopping. They got the job done and I was on my way in 4 days. Not bad I thought.
I just went to get a oil leak fixed in my same Saab, and found a great place in the Orange area that specializes in Saabs. Brought my car in and mentioned the previous work that I had gotten done. When he asked the price I paid I casually dropped the $ 900 I had paid and his jaw dropped in horror. He was afraid to tell me the price he charges for the exact same job. He showed me an invoice of another customer who was getting a new fuel pump installed in her Saab (same model as me) and her price came to $ 300. He said that job should fluctuate between $ 200 to $ 600 for my car. Never $ 900. The head of the shop called the last job criminal and an absolute rip off. He was ashamed that a fellow mechanic would charge such ungodly prices.
I wish I had comparatively shopped A LOT earlier. It was a shame that I was ripped off. Lesson learned. Thanks Greg.

Excellent and trust-​worthy service. Whether its Greg or Jr. assisting you, you get honest service and reasonable prices. They beat out Chapman Care Center’s offer to me by nearly $ 100. I will go back to Greg’s Orange Auto.

I’ve been going to Gregs shop since i got my first car when I was 16. He fixed it up to perfection every time it needed a tune up or major work. I recently sold my first car and the guy who bought it said it runs like it was brand new, thanks to greg this was possible. He is timely and always calls with updates whenever I needed to leave it there for a few days. He really knows what he is talking about and dumbs it down so someone like me can understand what is going on :)

My sisters car broke down in Orange County, AAA (triple A) recommended Greg’s Auto in Orange. Since it was late Saturday night and they are closed on Sundays, we had to wait until Monday to speak to the auto shop. We did they key drop off through the mail slot. Come Monday morning JR called within 30 minutes of opening. He told me the cost of the diagnosis which I okay’s and that he would call me as soon as the diagnosis which only took about 30 minutes. JR was very thorough and explained everything to me. Their pricing was very reasonable and they were very quick. JR was also very good about keeping me in the loop and calling when he said he’d call. My mind was at ease and Greg’s auto made the stressful situation so much more tolerable. The car has been running great since they fixed it last week. Thank you JR for the fast, efficient service!
