A & E Automotive

"The most current service I received at A & E Automotive (Feb. 2024) was as it has been for the two years or so they've been working on my car: good analysis of car problems and needs, clear explanations of what's being done and close adherence to estimates after the work was completed. I believe they are honest with me and never insist on repairs that aren't necessary. They are personable people and I enjoy talking to them. I have two cars and I entrust both of them to A & E. I recommend them as a good automotive shop. --Eric Brotman (Goleta, CA)"

"Friendly and honest service. The work done is quick and high quality. A comprehensive and thorough inspection is performed with an oil change and a detailed report is emailed to you even including pictures of all observations and findings. This allows you to see why recommendations are being made so you can be sure to make the right decision . I highly recommend A&E if you need any work done on your car or someone to help figure out what's going on if you have an issue!"

"My truck had a busted water pump and spilled coolant everywhere. I went to A&E Automotive and they took care of me and educated me on what water pumps are better and gave me a better water pump to hopefully last longer then the old one. Great customer service form Edgar I really enjoyed the information he gave me and the service. His personality made me really trust him and I thank him and the rest of the staff for helping me with my truck. I will be coming back to work on future maintenance with my truck with A&E Automotive. Thanks again you guys the best !"

"First I went to A&E two years ago when they gave me a lower price for a valve cover gasket .No problems. Then I went back recently when I got an estimate for spark plugs I was told I needed. They gave me a lower estimate, and showed me pictures that I didn't need spark plugs. All very good. A few weeks later, my check engine light came on and I left my car to diagnose. They explained that when they did the work earlier, a small hose had not been correctly attached, and there would be no charge. A+++ for excellent work, lower prices, and honesty!"

"A&E Automotive is great. 20,000 miles ago my car broke down and I took it to A&E where they replaced my water pump and drive belt. I took my car to another body shop in Orange County for an unrelated and they tried to tell me that I need to replace my water pump immediately. Instead of giving in, I called A&E automotive because their warranty service covered me through 24,000 miles. Since I wasn’t close enough to take my car into A&E, the owner called up a shop near me that had the same warranty service. That shop told me that I did not have a leak in my water lump and there was no need to replace it. Thank you A&E for looking out for me"
