This is by far the best auto shop you’re gonna find here in Ventura. Eugene is super honest and clear with you. I’ve gone in there and had conversations with him about my vehicles and he’s helped me explain and understand what is going on with them. He always takes time to drive your vehicle to make sure that it has been repaired and so he knows what is really going on with your vehicle He is super kind and he’s not gonna try to take your money like the dealership will Great way to support local and get your car repaired

Eugene at Ace Auto is the real deal! Honest, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly and got my car back on the road faster than expected. No upselling, no pressure — just solid, trustworthy service. If you're looking for a mechanic you can actually count on, Eugene's your guy. Highly recommend!

This is the best mechanic in all of Ventura. The technical service & the customer service are superior to any other shop. They are honest & forth right in communicating diagnosed fixes/pricing. No tricks. Eugene & his parents are very nice people with good values. They accommodate their customers whenever possible.

I recently moved to the area and was in need of a mechanic. Eugene from Ace did an amazing job tuning up my car and was quick to answer my questions. Highly recommend. Competitive prices, excellent services. We will be taking our other vehicle there to get services done soon, thanks again Eugene.

Absolutely the best experience I have ever had dealing with any one in the automotive industry. They did exactly what they said they would. They were super fast and nice. I will definitely take my care back there when I need service or a smog again. I searched on Yelp for a quick smog and read the reviews, I usually have my husband do this and hadn't realized we were running out of time and had to do this my self, I didn't want to go to just anybody or the ones who had the bad and mean reviews. Ace Auto had excellent reviews for repairs and smog so I called the day before and they said they would have me out quick and I pulled right in today and sure enough, I was out in less than 5 minutes, I had barely sat down. I will be a customer for life and will bring my cars back for service when they need repairs as well. I highly recommend them. You can just tell, they are full of integrity.

Eugene and his crew are amazing! He worked with my insurance AAA to get a replacement catalytic converter for my 2010 Prius. Special circumstances working with this car and my insurance due to there being an indefinite backorder on the Toyota side. We found a California smog safe part that was not Toyota brand but Magnaflow and it was shipped and done within a few weeks! Eugene discussed every step with me and explained everything with honesty and integrity. I will be going back to him !!!

Consistent, exceptional service guarantee that Eugene is the mechanic for me. I trust him (and his advice) with my car and so my life. I am grateful I found this shop. As long as they're in business, I will never need to find another one.

This is literally the best smog shop you can go to in the area. when several smog shops wouldn't even attempt to smog my car because it has the stigma of being a Subaru Ace Auto repair and Smog came through. Eugene there was very knowledgeable and knew right away that there were no issues with my vehicle. I will be recommending this shop to all my friends and all of my family. I will only do business with this shop in this county from here on out. Thank you again so much Ace family.

I found this place just by accident. And I am glad I did. Eugene is great. His knowledge is unmatched. I trust him to care for any car, van or truck. Once, I had a bad steering/brake pump. They took the vehicle right in and repaired it fast.

We originally came here for a smog based on other reviews and now I have found an honest and reliable shop for my Subaru Outback that has been having some problems as it is almost 10 years old. You should definitely see Eugene and his father before going anywhere else!

The folks at Ace know how to take care of you. Honest and hard working, both my cars have been well cared for there. I choose my mechanic based on trust and quality, not price. Ace meets these and still charges a very fair rate. Give them a chance with your car.

Eugene told me to bring car in on Thursday. I offered to bring it on Wednesday so he would have it first thing Thursday morning. I brought the car on Wednesday morning thinking it would be ready by Friday. Eugene called me later in the same day and told me it was ready. AMAZING!!!!!!!! I will NOT take my car or truck anywhere else. ACE AUTO 5 STARS!!!!!!

These guys have competitive prices with grade A workmanship. Bought a car with a bad catalytic converter and they were able to fix that and other issues. They took there time and looked over the whole car for me. It's been over a year now and the car still driving strong. I highly recommend these guys. Thanks for fixing the prelude
