This man is fair and honest … I called him from Texas to let him know my son was new to his area and needed his car repaired . He took it to him and he fixed it for half of what another shop quoted him( was a bad alternator) if you in the area and need anything the man’s name is Hoss and he will treat you right.

I had trouble for a long time with my old mechanics I’ve used in the past Hoss was very friendly and fixed my truck and it’s been running perfect since I’ve started seeing him. Fast and affordable I have my entire family use his shop!

They helped me out and I was back on the road quickly. Excellent customer service!! I was vacationing in Santa Barbara when I began having issues with my car. Gave these guys a call due to good reviews and they were able to check my car our upon arrival, despite their busy work load.

It is always a great experience to go to A1 Auto Repair Shop, everyone is really friendly. They did great job with my car and I didn't even have to buy a replacement for the piece that was not working. It is hard to find a good mechanic and they are excellent. Hass is helpful, knowledgeable, and honest. By far the best car shop in Santa Barbara. :)

Hoss is a highly experienced mechanic that repaired our water leak and replaced our van’s side mirrors. He offers reasonably rates to his customers and goes the extra mile to complete repairs.

I was recommended this place by a friend, and they did not disappoint. They were affordable, friendly, and very professional. I'm so used to getting screwed over by mechanics but I know I can trust a1 with all of my car troubles. I will definitely be recommending them to all my friends, and going back for all my repairs and tune ups. Cant thank these guys enough.

We experienced some unexpected car troubles on a road trip, and everyone at A-1 was extremely helpful. They were transparent, honest, kind, and quick in their assessment. They took the time to show us what was wrong and looked at multiple stores to try to find the part needed even though it was late in the day. If we lived in the area, we would absolutely go back to them for all of our car maintenance. Highly recommend!

Hoss at A1 was amazing. We were traveling thru town when our check engine light started flashing and the engine started shaking. We pulled up to A1 a few minutes before they closed on a Saturday. Hoss stopped what was doing and spent the next 1.5 hours getting our engine repaired and getting us back on the road!

Excellent service. On the two occasions that I've been here the mechanic has been friendly, accommodating, hard-working and really goes the extra mile to get the job done well. The rates are also extremely reasonable/affordable. I was expecting a much higher price for all the work he did. Will be taking my car here for future repairs for as long as I'm living in Santa Barbara! Thank you!

The best auto mechanic in California! My story with this place started when the window on my car door came off its track — and the owner of this shop managed to fix it quickly, simply, and without charging me anything unnecessary. While on a road trip, I had to stop by several auto shops, and most of them were focused only on making money — replacing parts for even the smallest issues and charging outrageous prices. But the owner of this shop is a true professional — experienced, skilled, and genuinely honest. Two years later, I still remember him fondly. I had a Prius with a right rear door that wouldn’t open because the handle mechanism was jammed. Every other shop told me the only solution was to replace the entire door, but this man knew better. He carefully opened it from the inside, adjusted the lock and handle, and fixed the problem completely. He could have easily charged me hundreds of dollars for a door replacement, but instead, he chose honesty and craftsmanship. On top of that, his friendly attitude and genuine conversation made a lasting impression on me — he’s truly someone I’ll remember for many years. Later on, he even helped me sell my car, acting as an honest and fair intermediary for both sides. It’s rare to meet someone with such integrity and kindness — a true example of professionalism and character.
