I had an amazing experience. Val was so sweet and extremely helpful. I recently moved to CA from NC and had to get a safety and emissions inspection done and Val went above and beyond to get me scheduled and get my inspection completed. Make sure to go to Val and Mike’s Auto Repair for any of your vehicle needs. You’ll be so happy you did!

I was blessed to find Mike & Val through a recommendation from Vals dad, Flo!! Many years ago, we were both doing volunteer work at a food bank in Costa Mesa & I mentioned how hard it was for a female not to get ripped off getting her car fixed! Go see my son-in-law Mike, he said, He is the best, most honest repair guy in Orange County. He will take good care of you! He was right. I never looked back & kept taking all my different cars (with their different issues!) to Mike from then on. Always honest, always straight and fair, always trying to educate you about your repair so you know what they are doing & why! Mike & Val make you feel like extended family. Good good folks! Dont take your car anywhere else.😁👍

Great communication! They really explain what needs to get done and why.

Very knowledgeable & knowledge used solely to be helpful. Worked with me to save me a lot of money. Above & beyond service. Literally treated like family as a walk in. Couldnt hope to find a better auto shop.

I want to thank the professional staff and service. From the start Jacob Schneider guided me through the process of how the technicians assessed all aspects of any potential work. Everything was up front and honest which eased my mind as I had a road trip planned to Alabama and back. I am writing this review from Alabama and I am very happy to report that my 1997 Toyota Tundra purred all the way - I am confident that my return trip will be just as good 👍. Thank you all - Val & Mike (& Jacob) you guys rock 🤘

I don’t typically leave reviews but I had to comment on the excellent service I received here. I came in for some odd engine noises and I couldn’t be happier with the quality, speed, and cost of the repairs. Some guy named Jake had my vehicle diagnosed immediately; I had the diagnosis along with cost of parts and labor within an hour.Despite how busy they were, I was in and out fairly quickly. Nobody was trying to sell me extra wheels or services like most of the other places either. It’s been a few weeks now and my engine noise is no more.I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a new honest mechanic. Thank you guys!

Really professional and friendly. They did a comprehensive check on my vehicle and talked me through what needed to be done and when. Professional and very clearly explained what was going on.

I love going to the mechanic! I know that sounds crazy, but at Val and Mikes it’s like going to visit an old friend (that I made 2 years ago). They’re so friendly and also honest. They give you lots of details with their diagnostics and are clear with their explanations. You should add Val and Mike into your friend group.

One of the best AAA rated auto repair shops in Huntington Beach.

These guys ran a diagnostic for me and saved me a lot of money on a repair by letting me know the repair I needed was covered under an extended warranty by the manufacturer, it was a transmission issue so it would have been expensive had they not gone out of their way to check for warranties for me, which was greatly appreciated!

Mike & Val’s Beach Cities Auto has been serving my 4 vehicles for years. They are professional, thorough and still friendly. They always explain services needed and are helpful getting me or my cars back and forth. I recommend them to anyone I know needing service in my area.

Professional, personable, and honest. Its the auto shop that correlates to Cheers. i.e. Where everybody knows your name. Family type of feel. Jake is my go to guy. Hes clear and concise on what I need, however, not pushy. To simplify, hes not salesy! I feel like he tells me like it is. If I decide to move forward, hes on it. If I delay until my finances permit, he says, Just give me a call when you want the work done. Ive referred friends and family, and will continue to do so. Thanks much Jake! You rock!

Outstanding value on all levels. The owner treats your car as if it’s his own. Even provides a loaner car if you need it. The service was impeccable. Service for import cars typically puts a dent in the pocket, however I am happy to say that the service was appropriately priced.

They’re always professional, efficient, affordable, and above all super friendly and kind. Thank you for keeping Tammy Toyota running! And she now has cold AC 👌🏼

Its evident that the new owner cares not only about good business practice, but also the people he deals with. Pat made that very evident when I was not happy with something he personally called me to make it right. This place gets my recommendation.

I’ve been going to Val and Mike’s for years and have always been very pleased. They remember who you are and they can get your records up-to-date. I really appreciate the kindness that they show.

The service advisor was very friendly. My oil change was quick and painless. Thank you Ken and Val.

Great, friendly staff. Same day appointments and usually work completed same day! And service costs are very reasonable. I was happy when I didn’t have to take my car to the dealer for maintenance. Everyone needs to have a great mechanic. Val & Mike’s is that place!

Very attentive to detail. Stand behind their work 100%! Friendly, knowledgeable and good at their job. Would recommend them to anyone, especially those with somewhat older cars because they treat them with lots of TLC. Appreciated the tips on car maintenance and care.

I brought my car in with a tough issue to diagnose. It has had this issue for years and BMW couldn’t figure it out - but Val & Mike’s could. I really appreciate the extra work they put in while still giving me a good deal. Thanks!!

As always, Val was accommodating and worked with my schedule. Patrick was very pleasant and took care of getting me a ride back to pick up my car at a time convenient for me. I dont want to jinx it, but my car is running beautifully, like new. Thanks to Val and Mikes for your great service.

Love Val & Mikes - we bring all our cars here & I know I am being treated fairly- they in fact found nothing wrong with my father in laws car when another place said he needed $1500 worth of repairs!! Nothing compares to the great customer service & Vals cheery personality

I have used their services on various cars for over 25 years. Their work is consistently excellent and their prices are fair. I have referred friends and family to them in the past and all have been well treated. Oh, and did I mention they are NICE PEOPLE!

If I could describe Val and Mikes Auto Repair in just one word I would choose FAMILY. I felt so very welcomed from the first 2 steps when I walked in to the final steps when I left. I felt reassured and was told exactly what they were going to do to my car and they told me if they needed to do any additional work that they would call me immediately before making any adjustments. Very sweet people! I definitely recommend them! Thanks guys! :)

Val & Mikes is awesome! Brought my car in not knowing what the problem was - they were very thoughtful and thorough in their diagnosis of the issue. Called me to explain what theyd done and the proposed repairs, gave me an estimate for the work up front when I dropped the car off and then also gave me the adjusted quote once theyd isolated the issue. Also did the work very quickly - I needed it back that same afternoon to get to work and they made sure it was done before then. So glad I took my car to them.

Work done in a timely manor. The service manager doesn’t recognize a long time customer. I had to ask for AAA discount. Never worried about that when Val or Mike was there. But otherwise the car is working well.

Its often hard to find a trustworthy mechanic but they genuinely care about their customers here. We completely trust them with the whole familys cars. I wish all businesses were run like Val & Mike run theirs.

Val and Mike always make sure my car is safe and running well.They are very trustworthy, I have a great deal of confidence in all the work they do. Been going there for 10 years or more

I having been taking my cars there for years. They are honest, ethical, and I trust them to not take advantage of my knowing very little about cars. That was extremely important to me when I was a single woman, because some places will take advantage of you. Not Val and Mikes! They dont try to upsell you. I always feel like they will take great care of me and my car and that is priceless! Such nice people, too!

Every time I go it’s super easy, everyone is so friendly, and the prices are reasonable. It’s a gem in HB.

I just cannot get over the expertise that Patrick and Val exhibit. I deal with Surgeons and MDs all day every day, and I think this little auto repair facility is one of the best in OC. The attention to detail is just as meticulous as the Medical Professionals I work with. We are hooked for life. Mark, Kathy and Harmony Gerber.

You guys are great. I drove in with minimal air conditioning, and an hour later, with awesome air conditioning. My 2 doggies and I am very impressed. Great, prompt service, at a fair price. It doesnt get much better than that. THANK YOU from Jane, Scarlett. and Dobie.Customers for life.

Val and Mikes Auto Repair Center has always been amazing to me! This time was no exception. The Master Cylinder had been replaced 10 months ago, and went out. They replaced it, at no cost to me. Thank you!

Val and Mikes is simply wonderful. They were kind, honest, and very helpful. I highly recommend this shop for all kinds of cars, domestic and foreign. The staff is so pleasant and they go out of their way to make sure you get the best deal. Thanks Val, Mike, and staff for going above and beyond.

The crew here is always friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. If they recommend a particular service or repair you can rest assured that it something your car needs.

I am always pleased. It took much longer than I had planed but I know you wanted to make sure you found the needed repair. If I didnt trust you, I might be mad. But, I wouldnt use anyone else ! Barb

Great professional service. Ive been taking my 2002 Honda there for almost its entire life. Ive got 183,000 miles on it, and it runs like a top because of their service. Looking forward to another 100k miles on it!

Excellent service. This is my first time using Val and Mikes and I was extremely pleased. Mike B took care of me and I was very pleased with his communication. My service was completed faster than promised and for a little less than the original estimate. I was happy with my car was freshly washed when I picked it up.

Love Val & Mikes! They have been pampering me AND my car for the past two years. Friday I just dropped in and they were able to accommodate a new battery and oil change immediately! Bonus, if Mikes there, its like going to the comedy club; cant beat that!

We have been going to Mikes Auto Service for many years. A friend first recommended them to us, and we have never been disappointed. They are not only good at what they do, they are ethical, honest, and always charge a fair price. I could not go to anyone else because I totally trust them. They provide a ride home or back to work if you need it. AND they are just the nicest people on earth! I recommended them with the highest recommendation possible.

I highly recommend Mikes Auto Service for auto repairs. Mike, Val and the staff were very personable and professional. John gave me a ride home while my car was being examined. Mike called to let me know what needed to be done and got my approval before proceeding. They called when the repairs were complete and sent John back out to get me and bring me back to the shop. The bill was very reasonable and Im very satisfied with the work done. An all-around superior experience with Mikes Auto Service!

This was my second time having Val and Mike’s Auto work on one of my cars and, like my first experience, everything was excellent! .. their price was very reasonable and their service fantastic! .. I highly recommend Val and Mike’s to anyone who wants their vehicle serviced properly and at a fair and reasonable price.

There invoice says Quality Service and Complete Satisfaction is there number 1 Goal, but we are NOT SATISFIED. My wife took our vehicle in as we had pink fluid leaking. Estimated cost was $213 in parts and $468 in labor at a total of $650 for replacing a upper radiator hose, lower radiator hose, power steering hose and thermostat. None of these problems fixed the problem that originally was pink fluid leaking. My wife picks the vehicle up to be told that they did not fix the leak and that we need to now have our Water pump replaced for another $450. The excuse they gave my wife is that they pressure washed the vehicle and could not tell where the leak was until she came that morning. All we wanted was our leak fixed correctly for the original $650. They offered to give us a free rental car. We wanted a better discount then the new cost of another $450 out of our pocket. We explained our dissatisfaction and that they would loose a customer that had been there previously before with no issues, yet that did not seem to matter to them. I am disappointed!!!

As usual, Val & Mikes Auto fixed my 15 year old Explorer. The radiator cracked which means I had no A/C and that is vital to my comfort. They got me fixed up within 24 hours and also offer a discount with Enterprise for a rental. Val & Mike has been keeping my vehicle in great shape for several years. They are also conveniently located in my area. Thanks to Val, Mike and Mike.

We like the comfortable feeling of knowing we have honest people keeping our cars in good shape.

Last week while visiting a friend in Huntington Beach, my car failed to startwhen I was ready to leave. My friend then recommended Val & Mikes AutoRepair. I had my car towed to their shop, where they quickly diagnosed thatI had a bad starter. They got it fixed right away for a good price. Now I toorecommend their services to other friends.

Went into this shop upon a friend from work that said go here cause they will treat you right. After having my car worked on he was not wrong. The people there seem to care about there work an seem to have that down to earth character about them. Thanks

Val and Mikes Auto Service is trustworthy and reliable. I have been a customer for over 20 years. The last two times I went to the dealership for my free oil change, the dealership told me I needed brakes and a battery. So I took my car to Val and Mikes for a second opinion and they told me that I did not need these repairs. I completely trust them and I highly recommend them!

Great place. Very knowledgeable. They take good care of my car. Very friendly.

Mikes Auto gives both excellent car and customer service. I have an older Saab and they always have the parts and always know how to service it. Their prices are very competitive They have been so helpful to us over the years . I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Honest estimates and reliable repairs. And they are great to work with! Friendly, accommodating, and professional. Val and Mike are the family go-to for any auto repairs. They have worked on four of our cars and weve walked away satisfied every time.

I love Valley Mikes the most honest mechanic and they do the best work they will make sure youre satisfied

I highly recommend this repair shop. My rear brakes went without any warning and I needed them done asap. I called that morning and they had my car finished in a few hours. The price was great too! Thank you for everything!!!

Very friendly and will work with you, within reason. Also very trustworthy. Said there are some things that should be done but understands that money is an issue and it could wait a little while before it HAS to be taken care of.

Same day service!!! Extremely friendly and I was completely surprised by how little it cost. Great mechanics that take pride in their work. Will be going back with any more car problems.

I have peace of mind sending my 80 yr old husband for the repair of his truck. They are honest and trustworthy and very kind as well. I recommend Mikes Auto for anyone who has car/truck repairs needed. This time it was an oil leak and Mike took the time to find out exactly where it was coming from. It was repaired without a huge cost. We will keep coming to Mikes Auto for both of our cars.

We were looking to get a pre-sale inspection done on a 2004 vehicle. This shop was so friendly, very accommodating and did a very in depth inspection. We left knowing exactly what the issues were with the vehicle and how to fix it. Would high recommend this business.

Val and Mike have been caring for my cars for decades. I actually look forward to seeing them, which I could never say about other shops. They make me feel part of their family!

I am always pleased. It took much longer than I had planed but I know you wanted to make sure you found the needed repair. If I didnt trust you, I might be mad. But, I wouldnt use anyone else ! Barb

As Usual!!! The team at Val & Mikes service our company fleet and keep us on the road. I feel confident when I pick up a truck that there are no issues that will pop up down the road. So I shouldnt say as usual I should say AS AMAZING!!!

Very knowledgeable, fast and friendly guys. These guys have never never tried to upsell me on things that I don’t need. I recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Not happy this time at all! I brought the car in at 9:20 in the morning for an oil change. Mike, the owner, told me my car could be picked up in the early afternoon hours. At 3 oclock, the other Mike called me with all sorts of recommended repairs, inluding a turn signal bulb exchange, which he quoted me $40-$60 for exchanging a $4 bulb. I authorized a transmission service, which was supposed to take 1.5 hours. At 5 oclock, I still had not heard from them. (Later I discovered a missed call from them and a voicemail at 4:50. I called back at 5:10.) When I asked for a ride to pick up my car, the other Mike told me that everyone was gone and nobody could give me a ride. He parked the car on the street, as I told him that I would have to walk for about an hour to get there. Not very good customer service! I had hoped to pick up the car shortly after noon, not shortly after dark!

Val & Mike / Mike ~ My Ford Edge runs like new, after being in such dire straights last week. I was told, by HB Ford, I needed a NEW Transmission / Engine, and all she needed was some much over due maintenance . I thank you from the bottom of my heart.... My Sister & Brother-n- law were correct....Youre the BEST :)

Great service for 1st visit. Very professional and they keep you updated on every action taken!

Mike & Val are great! They are honest about what needs to be done and what could wait. Their pricing is very competitive & they did excellent work. They even had the job done earlier then expected and gave me a ride.

Needed some work done before a trip and they got me right in that afternoon. The staff is courtious and helpful, and my car was finished when they said it would be. Mike gave me a ride home while the work was being done. Have been taking my car to Val & Mike for sometime now and recommend them whenever I can - 5,stars for sure!

The most reputable automotive service I have ever dealt with. Hard to find these kind of repair shops that treat you well. I recommend them to everyone I know.Grandpahak

Ive been a customer for years, theyre a local business who cares, they offer competitive prices, and theyre a power couple. What more can I say?

Very professional and honest. They provide recommendations but are never pushing for sales. Ive had nothing but great experiences with them

I love Val and Mikes. Always will. They are honest and kind, and that is all I can ask for. Locally owned and locally loved :)

Weve ben going to Mike & Vals for over ten years until we moved to Irvine a year ago. After two miserable experiences with a highly recommended local mechanic we decided the drive back to Mike & Vals was well worth the extra effort. I noticed someone complained about their prices, but my experience has been that they charge top dollar for TRULY TOP OF THE LINE SERVICE. Courteous, friendly, professional, always on time, & they have never failed to let me know if charges were going to be more than I might have expected. (Notice I call it Mike & Vals; Shes too important a part of this operation to be left out!)

Ive been a customer for years, theyre a local business who cares, they offer competitive prices, and theyre a power couple. What more can I say?

This is a great automotive shop. Clean,nice people to take care of your repair needs. I will return and I have already referred them to my friends and family.

1st Time to Visit Val & Mikes (was referred to them) made an oil change appointment. Fast & Efficient Service. Personable & Comprehensive explanation of additional service needed. Will Return!

Val, Mike, and the staff are the nicest people. We always get great customer and auto service! They are honest, hard working, and get the cars up and running again!

Ive been a big fan of Val and Mikes for nearly fifteen years, starting when the Honda dealer told me I needed a $1600 head gasket and Mike fixed my overheating problem with a new hose for $85.Later, I depended on them to keep our daughter’s car safe when she was a student in San Francisco. Wherever they fixed something, it was always done right and stayed fixed. And with our daughter 400 miles away, that peace of mind was priceless.Just last week they replaced suspension parts on my Prius and replaced the brakes on my daughter’s aging VW Rabbit with the same care and expertise as always. Finding the right mechanic is like finding the right doctor or plumber, and we definitely found ours. With competence, integrity and reasonable prices, Val and Mikes is the complete package!

My experience with Val and Mikes was excellent that is a huge thing to say after all my truck was in pretty bad shape upon bringing it in I was given honest feedback prices and I was treated with respect.The best part is the told me to bring it back after 500 miles just to check out the new work and the did follow through they keep there word and these says that says alot.I definitely recommend using there service I am now a loyal customer and believe and trust there work.

They are good with the basic stuff only. I brought my car to them three times for the same problem, to fix the brakes, and until now I hear squeaking sounds. I paid over a $1100 for nothing. I dont recommend this place.

Customer service is top notch here! Val made the process so easy for me. I was pressed for time and she made it happen rather than me ignoring my flashing maintenance light for another week. My car is 9 years old and it was running like a 9-year-old car. Now my baby is running like a champ, the air-conditioner is working optimally again and my new brakes are keeping me safe and sound on those sudden stops that gave me anxiety before. I was astonished when I received a follow-up call to see how everything was going since theyve worked on my car. That is an absolute first. I couldnt be more pleased with everything. Thanks Val, Mike, Little Mike and crew for taking care of my baby!

Mike and Val run an excellent shop, starting with good communication and all the way through to great service. Reasonable prices and honest; no surprise they have been succeeding in this business well over 20 yr.

I have always been VERY HAPPY with the service Ive received from Val & Mike. My family has been taking our vehicles to them for 15 years.I really, REALLY appreciate you BOTH. Thanks so much.

I called Val and Mike last Friday (the day before 4th of July Weekend). They were able to squeeze me the day of for a pre purchase inspection of a van I planned on buying. They are very punctual and polite, and sent me the report via email within a few hours. I now have that van. Thanks you guys!

Been going here for years. Val and Mike are the best. Great service. Trustworthy and very fair. 👍👍👍👍👍

Mike and Val are sweet and HONEST people. I have been going to then for years, and my grandpa had been for even longer, we Wouldnt take our cars any where else.

Great autoshop they always FIX my car.

They go above and beyond to take care of their clients, and are straight up and honest people, a rarity in the mechanic world!

Always gives great service. Fair pricing

Ive been coming to Val and Mikes for over 10 years now and I greatly appreciate the service I get there. My buddy referred them to me and I always refer my friends and family to them.

As usual, the daunting challenges of a Beemer repair were expertly overcome! What a supurb team!

Let me give praises to Mike for solving my CEL (check engine light) problem. My OBD computer gave me P0174 & P0330, faulty O2 sensor & knock sensors replacement. Mikes Auto also came up with same computer diagnostic readings.I replaced 2 of 3 O2 sensors myself. The third sensor was seized, which I couldnt remove with my tools & lubricating spray. Toyota of HB wanted to replace the entire exhaust manifold. That was unacceptable with a $2000 quote. Mikes auto has the knowledge & tools to remove the seized sensor, thus saving me $2K. I supplied the sensor & paid a fair labor charge.I already knew the knock sensors replacement would be the expensive part b/c it is labor-intensive. Based on what I researched, Mikes quote was fair. Based on what Ive read on Yelp & on the companys website, I felt comfortable giving them my business.I waited almost 3 weeks to write this review to make sure that my 2002 Toyota Highlander was running fine, & it is. It has 185K miles, & I would like it to last 300K & beyond, if possible. I also have a 1998 Toyota Camry with 250K miles & will bring it to Mikes for 255K service.

Great shop and great service.

Great service over the las 20 years plus for us, thanks

Very quick smog check with a lot of professionalism

Amazing experience!!! Val and Mike are always so friendly and know how to handle your car, definitely the best auto repair in town!

Definitely going back to get other work done on the vehicle. Fast repair to a leaky radiator hose.

Above and beyond service at a very reasonable price.

Great job on my Honda,new timing belt and water pump.best price,best warranties

Both mikes are awsome and always take great care of our cars. We tell all our friends to come to Val and Mikes.

Wonderful friendly people, always a topnotch job at a reasonable price.

They know what they are doing, have a nice waiting rooom with TV and their prices are fair.
