10 Best auto repair shop in Ventura, California (CA) 2025

The whole Neighborhood Car Car (NCC) team was very thorough, knowledgeable, courteous and professional. My Tundra had an intermittent starting problem. Jon explained every step of the repairs before and after the diagnosis. I was given a breakdown of the costs before moving forward. It turned out to be a bad starter (for a 2000-2006 Tundra it is a lot of work to replace), which requires the removal of intake manifold and a lot of other connections. Not a diy project. Because the starter had been replaced here 8 years before by the previous owner, NCC honored the lifetime warranty and gave me a free starter, only paid for labour. The repairs were competed sooner than estimated and my truck runs like a top. They even checked and topped off all my fluids and inflated my tires to spec. Kim in the front office is great too! She is friendly, patient and knows her stuff! I don't normally write reviews, but this place deserves one. I would definitely recommend. Services: Engine repair, Auto engine diagnostic ~F

Usually good but today two cars behind me were serviced before me. Waited 40 minutes for an oil change. One car took 30 minutes. Must have been doing something other than changing the oil. Good guys but slow. No Xpress in the service today. Service: Oil change ~Jayne

(posting on behalf of Chris M) I’m absolutely thrilled with the service I received. my AC wasn’t working and instead of going to the dealer like I usually do, a friend at work recommended Meineke to me. They are very convenient as they are open on Saturdays, they took me right away at my scheduled appointment time, and fixed my AC and replaced my burnt out headlight. They do not try to rip you off. I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Service: Air conditioning ~A.

I brought some brake drums in to get turned.they had a few cars in the shop ahead of me but they were well staffed and busted them out in about 30 minutes for an unbelievable price. Steve was very friendly and professional and took great care of me. An absolute pleasure to do business with!! ~John

ABC Auto care did a phenomenal job with replacing my tires. It was quick, easy and simple and was done before I knew it. They did a great job communicating with me on which tires would work best for my vehicle and they’ve been great on the road. Their customer service was beyond great, they have amazing people there and I am looking forward to doing business with them in the future. Service: Auto tire replacement ~Rey

Herb is a great guy and super mechanic. Trusted. ~Charles

Maaco provides great service at a great price! The salt fog finished off the clearcoat on my 1999 BMW, so I needed a new paint job. Maaco repainted the car in the original color, and they did an amazing job! As with everything, you get what you pay for. Be honest with whomever is doing the quote about what you want and what you don't want. They're trying to help you - when your car looks good, they look good. Service: Painting ~Ben

After almost a week of talking with a sales rep (Brian) via text about a used car we were interested in, we never felt pressured. Any time we had a question, he responded promptly without pushing us towards the purchase. And after we decided to purchase our car through Carmax instead, our sales rep wished us well and said to reach out if we ever needed anything. After finding some issues with our Carmax purchase, we actually returned it. And promptly contacted Ocean Honda because we liked how respectful and not pushy they were. We liked that we'd done most of the negotiating already through text, so all we had to do was go in to look at the car and decide if we wanted it. They made the process efficient and prompt. (The only reason it took time was because they allowed us the space we needed to test drive the car and talk about it privately.) It was refreshing to have such a straight forward experience. Our used car was in wonderful condition and clean when we drove it off the lot. Every person we spoke with was kind, respectful, and welcoming from the get-go and then appreciative and thankful after we purchased the car. I'd definitely return to Ocean Honda. And I'd definitely choose to buy from Brian again! ~Chelsea

I Decided to write this review to warn and advice future customers here to take PICTURES of your items PRIOR to your installation and carefully INSPECT for any DAMAGES immediately after they finish ,in hopes you don’t fall into a situation like this. long story short, purchased 4 new tires to be installed on new rims here, found out a couple of days later the rims had scuffs and light scratching on the inner outer edges of the rims. These rims costed me around 2,500$ and I was very disappointed to hear the MANAGER “Martin” say that if it where him he would of “just ignored the damages because accidents happen” after I brought this to his attention. Planning on taking this over to Small Claims Court since they denied my request to have the rims repaired, even with CLEAR evidence that the damages could of only been done during the process of installing the rims in the tires, let alone the rims and tires being literally fresh out the box. ~Mid

Made an appointment for 8:30am and dropped the car off at 7:30 before work and left the keys in the drop box like we always do. Come 4pm I call to check up since I haven’t heard anything all that and come to find out they never checked their drop box and tryed blaming it on there not being a note stating that. We have been customers for years and have done the same routine each time since we work early. What’s the point of the drop box of you don’t check it. When I spoke with Luis ( manager ) he says it is not standard for anyone to check their drop box daily.l, even though my car was parked right outside their garage all day. Which seems pointless to me. I was going to get an alignment, new tires, total fluid flush but because of the negligence and unprofessional service I probably won’t be returning. Carlos has always been super helpful and able to get things done especially when there is an appointment set in advanced. Maybe reconsider who you have running your shop. ~Michael
