The first time I came in they tried to upsell me on something obviously not broken (cabin air filter that I just replaced). However, after that one bad interaction. I can say they have been honest, fair, and skilled mechanics. Theyve done a bunch of work on my and my girlfriends cars and the work has been both quality and well-priced.

Do not leave your car here unless you want your tire stolen off your car and left on a cinder block and then be required to pay for the missing tire. I was spoken to very condescendingly by Chuck and told over and over again that he wont be making any money off of my tire which seemed very obvious to me...why would he make any money off of a tire that was stolen from his property? I paid $250 for the tire and wheel PLUS the cost and labor of a starter. He should have paid for my tire himself. He has no gates, no camera (that are plugged in) and he leaves nice cars with brand new tires right by the road as if to say Free Tires Anyone? I will never be back and will recommend that no one goes here.

Genuinely honest and skilled mechanics. I don’t live anywhere nearby, but I would go out of my way to take my truck to them again!

Chuck was an awesome help. After I kept trying to fix the issue on my own, I finally had to resort to calling a mechanic and after reading the reviews I chose Chuck. I could tell when I picked it up that he stays a busy man and I was happy that he got my issue taken care of quickly and cost efficiently. Thanks Chuck!

This review is long overdue.I lived in the neighborhood so I went there for the convenience.I also had been to a my toyota dealer, and a recommended mechanic. Their diagnosis was 1000 bucks in oxygen sensors. I reluctantly forked over the money, and my engine light was still on.Then I meet Chuck.He runs the diagnostic, for free, and says it is one of two problems. Either a cracked hose or something he would have to troubleshoot. He tells me he can get to me tomorrow. His shop assistant says he will take a look real quick.He pops the hood, starts the car, removes the engine guard...And IMMEDIATELY heard a hose with a leak.He fixed me in 10 minutes, reset my car and said to not worry about paying him until I drove it around for a few days to see if that fixed my problem.You wont find a mechanic this honest. The real deal.Do yourself a favor and let him do his job. He doesnt overcharge, gets results. If he needs your input, he will ask.You wont find a mechanic rated better than him and his team.

My daughter is at Loyola University New Orleans, and we are in California. So when her 1999 Ford Explorer need to be serviced. We needed a place that would take care not only of truck, but also my daughter and my husband. The staff was wonderful, taking calls from my husband, diagnosing the truck quickly. Giving a estimate and completing the work in a very timely manner. My daughter is feeling safe and confident that her truck is running great. Thanks for caring for a college student away from home for the first time.

Chuck and his crew of mechanics took care of our car when we broke down and were staying there from out of town. We first took out 4runner to the dealership and they gave us a run for our money. Chuck ended up beating their estimate by almost $2,000 and had work done faster then the dealership. Chuck is a very honest and reliable mechanic. Thank you!!

Chuck Hamback has been fixing my car since he moved his business here 10 years or so ago. Ive found him to be a completely competent mechanic, honest, reliable, and friendly. Also, he seems to limit his clientele so that your car is repaired much more quickly than you can expect from a large shop or dealership. Im very cynical about mechanics, and Ive never felt that Chuck has been less than honest. His prices are reasonable. I feel I get good value for my money.

Chuck fit me in when I had an emergency. He looked at my vehicle immediately, and instead of trying to sell me costly repairs, noticed a small issue and fixed that first. When the problem cleared up after the small repair, he charged me a fair price. Great mechanic: ethical, knowledgeable, and capable. Would definitely recommend!

Came here from a local recommendation. Chuck was definitely not smiling- he hardly spoke with me and acted as though I was somehow inconveniencing or bothering him by bringing my car there. The interaction didnt inspire much trust in me so I decided to bring my business elsewhere. Cant speak to quality of work done there since I didnt end up going with them. Ended up at Crescent City automotive on magazine.
