Ace Automotive

Was first referred to Ace Automotive ~2005 by a friend and have been a loyal customer ever since. They are always straightforward and honest about work that truly needs to be done. Ace has never suggested work that was unnecessary. I’ve never felt that they’ve taken advantage of my lack of mechanical knowledge; instead, I’m always confident that they are looking out for my best interests.

Great place for an oil change and awesome customer service. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend! Very reasonable prices and fast service.

We are glad to have found an honest automotive service company in Santa Clarita. It is always comforting to know that you can trust the person advising you on your vehicle. Thank you for your great service and open communication.

The best honest shop I know of. They always take care of you and explain any repairs needed. I went in the first time thinking I needed brakes but they explained I had about another five thousand miles on them. Most shops would have done the brakes.

Been taking my car here for about a year now. Anytime I’ve compared prices with other places Ace comes out with best price. Had a mechanic at another place tell me i needed a $ 600 oil pan because my oil pan bolt was stripped. Took it to Ace, they changed my oil and I was out the door for $ 30 and didn’t need the bolt replaced because it was never stripped to begin with. I highly recommend this place.

Robert and Charlie (and their team) are honorable men and great mechanics. We have 5 cars and take all of them to Ace — a tricky BMW, a corvette, Honda Pilot, Honda Fit, and a Ford Flex. Any time we have had a car issue, Robert has been able to save us time, money, and completely fix the problem. In addition, when it isn’t worthwhile to spend the money to fix an issue — he honestly conveyed that — saving us a fortune. We had an estimate for the Pilot from the dealership — work they said ‘needed’ to be done — almost 1700.00. Robert said most of it wasn’t necessary and did what WAS needed — for 140.00! We feel really fortunate to have a reliable, trusted business to work on our cars — keeping us safe on the road. We cannot recommend Ace automotive highly enough! You are in good hands there…

I am very impressed by Ace Automotive and the service they provide.
I brought my Saturn in for routine brake service a few months ago. Their price was very competitive, and they finished the service in a reasonable time.
A few months later, my car began to make some loud scraping/​scratching noises. I brought the vehicle back to Ace Auto to have them investigate the problem. They found that the problem was caused by a broken brake spring. Although the broken spring was no fault of their own, they stated that they felt they should have caught the potential problem earlier when I had brought the car in for the routine service. They fixed my car’s problem, and did not charge me anything for the repairs!
I am truly astounded by their generosity in the matter. I feel it reflects the responsibility they take over each of their customers. I will definitely continue to give them my business.

If you take your car anyplace else… You’re probably making a mistake IMHO.

Good people, they treat you like family.

I have used Ace on multiple jobs now. Everything from a brake job up to repairing the entire AC system. The guys there were extremely honest and knowledgeable. Their pricing is old school, where they charge for parts and labor without huge markups. I checked their pricing against several other shops and the dealer and when everyone else was quoting 1200 – 1600, Ace’s price was $ 900 taxes and all. On one job they fixed what they believed was a major fix. Turned out they were wrong. Put everything back the way it was and absorbed the cost of the repair. They didn’t have to tell me about it but they called and let me know what was going on, made the repairs needed and got me on the road again. I’ve since sent several friends and family over there. They have all been happy.

Absolutely an honest, straight forward establishment, that really knows its stuff. I’ve been bringing my Dodge ½ ton pu here for years. Even had them rebuild the transmission. Always great service and fair pricing with a thorough explanation of what is needed while laying out all options. Robert really knows customer service.

I found the owners of Ace to be very helpful in making the decision not to repair my car, because it would not be worth it. They gave me estimates best and worst case and let me decide with no pressure. The car was not drivable and I left it with them for about ten days while I sold it on Craigslist. I was not charged for their helpfull advice. They are an approved AAA repair shop which is how I found them. I will go back to them without hesitation.

Most honest mechanic in the world! Was referred by my boyfriends parents who have used them for ever and I was very happy! They run a legit operation over there. Ask for Robert, he’s the man! wont let you pay for a service you dont need and he is very thorough and fairly priced. Brought My acura in at 80k and asked for a tune up, he kindly let me know I really wasnt due until after 100k but still offered just to take a look under the hood in case! Since then he’s done all the work on our familys cars, it’s a good feeling to have an honest mechanic finally around here!

I am so glad to see so many positive reviews for Ace because they are all well deserved! Robert is a great guy and always treats his customers well. We take all our cars, from a 1987 Jeep to our newest a 2007 Jeep to him and the service is always amazing! I would highly, highly recommend Robert and his guys at Ace!

I’m always skeptical taking my car in to get serviced because it’s easy for a mechanic to take advantage of people who don’t know anything about cars.
I just got my car back from getting the A/​C serviced at Ace Auto. I was originally worried that it was something major (compressor), but when I found out it was just a missing fuse, I was beyond relived. The problem is that a fuse doesn’t just fall out and walk away… someone had to have physically removed it. Last place I took my car to get serviced was the dealership to get an oil change. I’m willing to bet someone there took out the fuse to get me to come back for a Bull S#&@ fix.
The guys at Ace auto could have taken me for a ride, but the fact that they did not, speaks volumes on trust. This is the 2^nd time they serviced my car (1^st was a tune-​up) and once again, I am very happy with the results.
Finding a good mechanic is hard, finding one you can trust is harder… these guys are good!

I have been taking all four of my cars to ACE automotive for several years! They always do the Job right the 1^st time! They are a trusted place to take your car and they always have YOUR best interest in mind. They will tell it to you straight and NEVER oversell anything to you! You can trust Robert to treat you and your family AND YOUR CAR right!

Robert, Charlie and gang are the best, most reliable, honest, knowledgeable, friendly and competent. I recommend Ace to everyone.

I have been taking my 94 GMC truck here for about 4 years now. Every time I go there they do a professional job using only genuine AC Delco parts. Robert always takes care of me and these guys are dead honest. If they can’t find something wrong with your car or truck or it is a trivial fix they tell you instead of making something up to rip you off. I plan to keep my truck for a long time and I will gladly bring it back to Ace next time.

I have a 1974 corvette that had a few problems. The bigger problem was that I could not find a mechanic I could trust. I had already taken it to two other places which cost me $ 3k, and neither of them fixed the problems I was having.
I took the vehicle to Ace Automotive in Santa Clarita. I could not have asked for a better experience. Robert, the owner, is an expert at explaining car details to a layman. Every time I asked, «what does that mean?», Robert took the time to carefully explain the problem to me, and I actually understood what he was talking about.
If you live in the area, or even 30 miles away like I do, take your car to Ace Automotive. It is worth every penny. You will be saving yourself a lot of $$$ and heartache.

Finding a car repair place you can trust is difficult. I know from firsthand experience. I worked for one years ago and am ashamed at some of the transactions that took place!
I have two vehicles that have been repaired at Ace several times. Each repair was fixed right the first time and they guarantee their work. Robert, the owner, is a nice guy who truly seems to have his customers’ best interest in mind.
Their prices are fair, work is done quickly, and staff are open to questions. Highly recommended!
