THE Shop to go to in SoCal. Family Owned / Operated.Excellent Mechanics, Excellent Diagnostics and Repair, Excellent Price Considerations.If you want to be treated like family and have your car treated like its theirs Go to Dalcar, period.

I need more stars, Dalcar is wonderful. Friendly, honest, and very fair. I never thought ny car could run so well. I will never go anywhere else. God bless him. Nice to know a man who takes such pride in his work.

I had, had very bad dealings over the years with repair shops that had ripped me off to the tune of thousands of dollars. Dalcar was recommended to me many years ago and I have never looked back. Daltons expertise allows him to diagnose problems other people miss. I have taken him a huge variety of vehicles of my own and recommended him to friends,all whom have been delighted . His honesty is extremely refreshing. These days having car trouble is stressful enough, but knowing you can take it somewhere where you will be told the truth and treated respectfully, Is outstanding. And thats what Dalcar is, out standing.

Honest & fast. Clean office. The people were friendly :)

Dalton is a very smart guy, but he tried to charge me $1200 to replace 6 ignition coils in my bmw e46.....

Great place very friendly and family owned. Really knowledgeable

Really nice and will not cheat you on prices. He will also tell you straight up what the problem is and wont jack up the prices. Good work and a honest man.

If your looking for a car repair shop that is going to give you honest work on your cars at a fair price this is the shop. Family owned and Dalton is the best.A++++++++++

I known Dalton for over 13 years I first bought a used car then he fix other cars, now servicing my Audi S8 very expensive car. And I trust him more than the Audi dealer as they don’t me wrong, I Encourage you to try them even with the most expensive cars or the least expensive you will get honesty integrity and a fair price.

He is an amazing mechanic. He will tell you exactly what is wrong with the vehicle. I sold him my old car and bought a different one from him. The car runs in perfect condition. I would recommend his car over buying a new car.

For the past several years, Ive been trying out different mechanics for regular maintenance or varied issues in my cars. Ive been so frustrated with what Ive been finding that I decided to follow the many recommendations I received and I drove 70 miles from the South Bay to Riverside to have my car checked at this shop. Dalton himself made a thorough examination of the vehicle and presented a really honest assessment of the issues and the possible courses of action. He walked me through every step of every process and made me feel very comfortable with every action being taken. Over the years, Ive learned that many mechanics will tell you something close to what you want to hear, which will seem to solve the problem momentarily and then, youll be back again in a few months. This was the first time, in a long time, that I felt that what needed to be done, was done and I, personally, appreciate when people are to the point, knowledgeable, committed and sincere; all characteristics I was able to find here. I highly recommend this place!

Honest, helpful & knowledgeable.

Love this shop.. The owner is very friendly and honest.. Him and his son are upfront about the car situation..

Good, knowledgeable and honest mechanic. Something not easy those days. Good on German imports too.

I took my car to this shop twice and each time I took it in there resulted a different issue. The last time I came in the owner insulted me with slurs and called me an idiot, stupid, and other demeaning words. He was extremely defensive when I asked him about the mechanisms of each part that was fixed. He repeatedly would cut me off when I tried to explain my issue. I had great rapport with his son who is very helpful and honest, but as far as the owner/head mechanic he is bad news.The things that I came in for:1st visit- Engine Coils for my Audi A4Which he charged $650Then my car oil started leaking.2nd Visit - Oil LeakWhich he charged again $700Then my car was burning too much oil and overheating3rd Visit - OverheatingHe forgot to place the coolant hoses back into the proper place when fixing the oil issue and housing block and now refuses to look at my car.Dont recommend this place at all, and especially if youre African American; expressed rascist remarks that dwelled on current police brutality.

Called in to ask about an engine swap, price qouted was almost 1000$ more expensive than any other quote. When I tried to speak with them about repair the head myself an having them do the timing an check everything over he laughed at me an told me dont bring my car to his shop he doesnt work on cars other mechanics have touched. The guy was about as rude and insulting as you could be. I know my car QUITE well but this guy tried to double talk me an was rude the whole time... Horrible experience with dalcar. I would NEVER trust them to do my repairs after the way the guy talked to me and tried to condesend to me.

Liars,rude, unprofessional. They overcharge and have zero class. Avoid these crooks.

This place knows MINIs. On two separate occasions, they saved my bacon from other mechanics.1) Over a year ago, the local MINI dealership told me that my car had really bad carbon build up and needed a $1000 walnut shell blasting (this is a known issue on MINIs). I took my car to Dalcar for a second opinion. They told me that, considering the low mileage and my history of using good quality gasoline, there was no way I had enough carbon build up to justify that treatment. Dalton took my car, then later called me up asking if I could come down and look at something. When I arrived, he had an inspection camera hooked up and he showed me my intake and valves... clean as a whistle! I happily paid for the inspection and ask that they take care of a couple of other small things. Total bill was $150. They saved me $850!2) Dalcar is a bit out of my way, so I tried a mechanic right near my work just last month. I had this other mechanic replace a leaky water pump (another known issue on MINIs). Unfortunately, when I got it back, I couldnt start my car. The other mechanic blamed it on the immobilizer, but they couldnt figure out what the real problem was. They finally gave up (later found out they dont have the right equipment) and told me that I need to take it to a dealership, and, by the way, theres no way they caused the no start issue. Remembering Dalcar, I had my car towed there. Dalton was able to figure out that the other mechanic smashed and tore a wiring harness that passes over the water pump (its nearly impossible to see unless you recreate the process of replacing the water pump). He explained how it likely happened and after giving me the damage harness as evidence, I began the process of requesting a refund from the other shop. The other shop didnt make it easy, but they finally refunded my money yesterday (believe it or not, thats the short version).The only critique I have for this place is that theyre busy and they dont rush (some might say thats a good thing). If you know that in advance, and you know they do the job right the first time, and you know that they charge 40% less than the dealership, then youll be as satisfied as I am with my new MINI mechanic.PS: I never bothered to ask, but I found out that Dalcar will drop me off at work when I bring in my car. I thought I would be out of their range, but apparently not.

Dalton is awesome does honest work and a fair price

Condescending and rude. He told me to just bring it by and hed take a look, then when I got there he said that he told me to drop it off, and he couldnt work on it today (3 minutes after my phone call). I told him what was wrong with the car and he kept cutting me off.

Good and honest mechanics
