I can turn a wrench, so when I talk about repairs I can tell when a person knows his trade and is professional. Eric explained the possibilities, quoted me a fair estimate, and did the job faster than I expected. The shop looked clean, organized, and efficient; the kind of place I would like to work at.

Excellent service and knowledge. My car was aligned and Test driven promptly. I highly recommend them.

Been loyal customers for a decade. Keep our vehicles safe and efficient. We rely on their honesty and their willingness to solve any problem, no matter how obscure. They have car genius.

I had a great experience. When I called they got my car in the next day, then worked quickly and my car was done a few hours later. Very nice, professional guys, fair prices. We will definitely use Fairview Motors again.

Knowledgeable and honest mechanics.

Very honest, prompt service, will explained, and personable owner and staff.

This place is awesome. Eric was very personable, honest, and fair with his pricing. I could not have asked for a better experience.

The guys at Fairview Motors are friendly and professional . They made it convenient for me to drop off my truck. They gave me a ride home. They quickly and thoroughly evaluated my trucks suspension made some adjustments and fixed the problem. The cost was very reasonable. It was overall a great experience and I’ll definitely be going back to them again.

Friendly and professional. $185 for getting my AC working. I am a very happy customer.

Ive had an issue with my brake pedal for nearly four years! Ive brought the issue up to multiple garages in the past, describing it the best I could and have always been told they couldnt replicate the problem. But I know Im not crazy and a few weeks back when I had to stop suddenly my brakes locked up and I skidded partially into an intersection. If I had been on the freeway and had to stop suddenly like that I wouldnt have been able to. Turns out I needed my ABS module replaced. Erik from Fairview Motors did literally everything to figure out what the problem was. He went deeper than any other mechanic was willing to go to solve my issue and because of him Im driving a much safer vehicle today. I can already tell the difference in my brakes after just driving it for one day. Not only that he had to smooth out my rotors because the problem over time had made them uneven and he didnt even charge me.If you want to know your car is in good hands of someone who cares about your safety rather than just collecting a bill from you take your car to Eric at Fairview Motors.

Erik and the team are great! Super friendly to deal with on the phone and in person. They got the alignment on my Mustang dialed in. They will be my go to place and Ill be sure to recommend to friends and family.

I am a student and I have had my second hand car for a year now and it made some problems for me. I have been talking to Erik at this store and I find him very professional, fair and knowledgable about car issues. They are very punctual and accurate about their appointments and the time they finish their services. I like this place a lot. It is definitely my to go place when my car is broke.

Excellent job! And great customer service. Erik makes sure that youre comfortable while waiting for your car, and they go the extra mile to asure that they do everything they can to do a good job so you wont have to come back. I went for alignment and they even took my car for balance to a close by shop because they dont do balance. Excellent work!

Fairview Motors went far above and beyond in helping me ascertain my brake issues. They were thorough, excellent at explaining, and did the whole complete assessment for free. I will be coming to them for all my future repair needs!

I had a problem with my brake lights and was told it was an electrical problem by another group. Went to Eric and he was able to fix the problem in 2 minutes! Turns out, I just needed new bulbs! Thank you so much Eric for your honesty and for fitting me in today. I will definitely refer your company and will take all of my auto problems to you!

Erik was straight forward and didnt mess around when he checked out our car . Highly recommend going here..

Great service! Fixed my car issues for a VERY reasonable price and also resolved other issues. Definitely has the best intentions for his customers!

Fairview Motors is great. They fix it right. They dont fix things that aint broken. And they treat their customers right. Recommended without reservation!

I never leave reviews but these guys were so great Im doing my first one. I brought my 2011 ford fusion hybrid to Ford to replace a wheel bearing, they estimated the job would cost at least $800 up to $2000 to fix. I told them I wanted to shop around a bit, went to a couple of places and they said they were too booked to help me. I was stranded in Santa Barbara and was afraid my car wouldnt make it back to LA. The owner Eric told me it was no problem and theyd have me taken care of in a few hours. His estimate was only $350 for the job! They dropped me off at my hotel AND picked me back up and when I got there the total cost was even cheaper at $315. Ive never been so happy about a mechanic in my life. 100% recommended if youre in the area and need some work done on your vehicle.

Had been experiencing a vibration in my front axles and it only worsened when I braked. I suspected that my disks were warped so I wanted to get them checked out. I called ahead and was able to get an appointment the next day, explaining my issue and receiving a time to come in and get the problem looked at.I came in the next day in time for my appointment and was greeted immediately, I was escorted to the office to explain my problem and was garenteed that it would be diagnosed within the hour. I was happy to hear that I wouldnt have to pay for the inspection if I ended up not going forward with any further work and was even told I could expect to get all repairs completed same day!After a test drive and a compete diagnosis, I accepted the quote of the consultation and was offered a complimentary ride back to work! Once repairs were complete I received a call letting me know and that I could call back when I was off the clock to get a ride back to the shop to inspect the job and take the car home. Upon reaching the shop I was able to ask more questions about how the job went, other parts of the car not serviced, warranty information if anything should go wrong. I left with a car in the best shape its been in years, information about any future work I might need to get done, a warranty I know I can trust, a shop I know I can go back to for any work I cant do, and a smile on my face.

These guys really know their alignments. I have a Mercedes metris which is a funny vehicle to align correctly and I have had alignment issues since purchase period after four trips to the dealership and no luck Fair View Motors was able to align and improve my ride quality dramatically thank you.

Super helpful and honest. I trust Eric and Mark absolutely.

Wouldnt go anywhere else and you shouldnt ither.

Great people, great service.

Had a problem while on vacation and my brother in-law recommended this place . He was very busy but took the time to inspect my truck, advised me I had a serious tire problem that needed to be addressed immediately. He then checked other possibilities, found none and called a tire place nearby and made arrangements for me. And he did not charge me!! I wish we had an auto place where I live that treated their customers this way .

Great honest business

I cannot say enough good things about Eric and Darryl. My wife and I have brought our cars (a 1999 Corolla and a 2000 Concorde) to them for years for maintenance as well as repairs. We keep returning because they consistently do great work for a great price. I first learned that I could trust them years ago when I brought my car in for maintenance that I thought I needed and for which I expected to pay at least $300. After taking a look at my car, they said it was well-maintained and that it only needed an oil change. In the end, I only paid a tenth of the cost that I had expected to pay - they easily could have taken me for so much more! And they have spent several hours researching and diagnosing various problems my car has without charging me more than the basic 1-hour diagnosis fee on more than one occasion, and occasionally have not charged me a diagnosis fee at all.Yesterday, we dropped off my wifes car because we could smell oil burning. By the end of the day, they had figured out the problem, ordered the needed part, and confirmed the issue was fixed. The total cost for diagnosis, cleaning up the oil, and installing and testing the part? $9.72! Apparently they replaced the part in question (valve cover gaskets) back on October 21, 2013 (about 13.5 months ago) and they volunteered on their own to honor the expired 12-month warranty.If you want an extremely honest, knowledgeable, and reputable mechanic that will charge highly reasonable rates, this is the place to go. I also agree with what others have said - these guys are also courteous, able to explain what is going on, and very easy to talk to.April 17, 2019 update: the above, original review was posted four years ago. My wife and I still return to Eric and Darryl for all our car maintenance needs. Absolutely phenomenal service, a great price, and consistent honesty. I got my car smogged a few weeks ago (had to go elsewhere - service not offered here) and they said I needed a power steering flush for over $120. I immediately brought the car over and within four minutes Darryl told me that yes, the fluid is a little dirty but its nothing that cant wait until the next oil change, and off the top of his head, the fee would be 80-90 bucks (certainly under $100). I hadnt yet shared what the smog check places price, and when I did, Darryl suggested three places to go to in the future. Ill be headed to one of them next time!
