Patrick's Auto Repair 1091 West Foothill Boulevard, Claremont, CA 91711

"Patrick knows his business. Does a good job. Great personality, cordial. Reasonable better rates than most!"

"For full reference, this was the only mechanic I went to for about 1.5 years after seeing all the perfect reviews. I assumed all advice was trustworthy because of it and it’s only until I went to another mechanic did I realize how much better other mechanics could be, that maybe I was being either scammed or just being told incorrect information. I went to him for - inspections - radiator installation - oil changes - brake checks I had brake issues. Pat said my brake lines were rusted and leaking and that I would need to replace them, and told me the part numbers because he couldn’t find them and said to buy them myself. They were easy to find and upon buying them, paying a lot of shipping, I bring them to Pat and he said only then that he didn’t have the proper car lift to install them so I had to find another mechanic. Upon going to another mechanic they looked at the car, sent me photos of all the issues and explained thoroughly all the issues with the car, and they said that Pat had either been trying to scam me or just didn’t know cars. I needed much more than two brake lines - My fuel lines were also rusted through (a huge safety hazard that Pat never let me know) as well as numerous other issues that made this car incredibly dangerous to drive - and Pat had just told me the car would “probably be fine to go drive to LA from Claremont”. The new mechanic also let me know that the price Pat charged me to buy a new radiator and install the radiator and refill my coolant was about $225 over what he should have charged. I will say that he did fill my oil for a reasonable price, so he is good for this. This is my experience with this mechanic - and I only wanted to write it because I went to this place because all the reviews were perfect. I don’t doubt others have had great experiences but my experience was, as the other mechanic put it, life threatening."

"10/5 Stars. If you are looking for an honest, trustworthy and reliable auto shop, you need to go here, they are very knowledgeable, and helped me with more then just the reason I was towed in for. I live in the lake arrowhead area, and will be going to Patrick's shop for any of my car problems in the future. I have never been to a better auto shop in my life. The owner is incredible, his shop was the only one open and willing to help me, in my company vehicle that got a flat tire. Very professional, moral, and all around great."

"Best mechanic I've ever been to. I've been to him several times, and he is very thorough, fair, and friendly. He's clear about pricing, and I've never once felt I was being overcharged or hustled. In fact, I always feel like I'm not paying enough which has part to do with the fact that my issues were smaller than I assumed, and he's just that fantastic. As long as I'm in Claremont, I will never go to another mechanic."

"This is my first visit to this mechanic. He has consistently received 5 stars and l can see why. He is competent and offers very reasonable prices. The place is really simple, there is no seating area. But if quality and fair prices are what you are looking for when your car needs repairs l am certain that seating is of no importance. At least it's not for me!"
