Ramiro is a guy who knows cars. But more importantly, he knows people. My car needed a timing belt change and a handful of other tweaks to get in good running order again. Understanding my position as a college student, Ramiro helped me understand my options when it came to repairs and parts and helped me make a smart decision given my finances and automotive needs. As he said himself, “I want to help your wallet and help your car.” I would recommend Camarena Auto Repair to anybody and everybody in search of quality work and an honest mechanic. I am an auto enthusiast and have worked with many mechanics. None have been as forthcoming and warm as Ramiro. Give him a call! Writing the same here as I did on Yelp.

Ramiro helped me right after I had my first accident and without doubt took my car. His honesty and visible passion made me trust my car. Fixed it in a couple day and was totally transparent about the work done. I hope is not needed but I'm definitely coming back

If you looking for a body shop takes your car and your safety seriously, and you can engage the entire repairing process, here is the one. Overall good experience. My car’s parking break can’t switch off and drove at most 20mph. I looked it up on Youtube and thought it was a simple switch problem. After Ramiro diagnosed, the alternator of my car was immersed with engine oil, because the negligence of my previous roadside assistance; also the break was wore off and dangerous to hit the road. Ramiro is the owner and only employee of this body shop. The total expense is more than I expected, since I didn’t know my 2006 car had these red flags all the time. I really appreciate Ramiro’s engineering skills and craftsmanship. He called me several time to update his progress and plan, taught me how to take care of my old car. I’ll try my best to make it stays longer, but if something funny happens next time I’ll visit Ramiro again.

Have you seen "Jiro dreams of Sushi"? The same way Jiro mastered his craft of sushi, Ramiro mastered his craft of cars. He takes serious pride in the work he does and it shows. When Ramiro works on your car, he will make it look effortless. That's how good he is. Plus, he will give you a fair price and tell you how to improve your cars long-term health. Definitely my top choice for mechanics. Plus he's really fun to talk with. I went it for a brake change and I left with a lot to ponder from our conversation.

Ramiro was so helpful, efficient, and knowledgeable. He truly cares for people. He went out of his way to diagnose our problem, spent about 45 mins and didn't even charge us. I highly Camarena's Auto Repair

Went to this place for the second time after having issues with the A/C system in my car. Ramiro fixed it up right away, and he was honest and did not overcharge me for the job. I would trust him with any car maintenance issues you may run into.

Ramiro is fantastic!! My car got broken into and someone attempted to steal it. They dismantled the steering column and smashed a window. I took the car to Ramiro and he managed to fix everything in three days. He worked wonders and at a great price! He gave so much personalized attention to my car and even drove an hour and a half to get a part that couldn't be found anywhere else. If you want someone who goes the extra mile for their clients, choose Camarena Auto Repair!

This is the best experience I have ever had with a mechanic. Ramiro is excellent in every way. He is clearly incredibly knowledgeable on how cars work, and was able to diagnose my issue very quickly. He clearly laid out what my options were to fix the issue, the pros and cons of each, and what they would cost (which was also very reasonable). I won't be taking my car anywhere else from now on.

literally went to this guy because of all the positive reviews. Not sure how it is that he has all these great reviews but i definitely did not get that kind of experience. A little while back I had my SUV towed over to his shop because my water pump broke and I was immediately met by Ramiro with hostility when he asked me what the issue was with my SUV and i explained to him what my AAA driver told me. Not sure why me explaining what i was told by a AAA tow truck driver made him upset but whatever. Long story short, he wasted my time by interrogating me over my personal life rather than actually getting to work on my vehicle and to top the matter he didn't even really fix my water. He charged me over 500 dollars to fix it (which i recently found out that he only fixed half of it) and no more than 2 weeks later, my vehicle was leaking coolant again!! Would not recommend going to him if you are a young college student!!!

I googled local shops for a safety mechanic's check of a car we were looking to buy. Ramiro was so helpful and gave us detailed information about his findings, even guiding us with his flashlight underneath the car. He ran the car for codes and walked us through his findings. I cant tell you how much I appreciated his honest feedback as we were purchasing a first car for our son. His expertise and professionalism is top tier. I highly recommend Ramiro for any auto mechanic needs.

We contacted Ramiro about inspecting a used car that we were interested in buying. He fit us in the day that we called and I appreciated how thorough and honest he was with his inspection. He was also generous with his time, explaining everything and showing me the problems he saw with some of the car parts. At the end, he gave us multiple repair options and was sensitive to cost. Ramiro is very kind and knowledgeable, and I am glad to have found his shop for future repairs and service.

Guys like Romero are rare these days. He is a 10/10 technician, i mean there is no car problem he can't solve. Integrity and honor is at his forefront when he deals with customers. My lexus needed air fuel sensors replaced and it required a lot of labor but he undercharged me and refused to take more money because thats what we had agreed on. I will be coming to him for any future issues or advice and recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and talented tech.

Ramino is a very straight guy with a lot of experience. He will tell you everything you need straight up and you can make a decision on whether you want it or not. I needed my alternator replaced and he showed me the replacement he made and prioritized quality. You can rest assured that he’ll fix your car while also being very upfront about how much he’ll charge. He’s got one hell of a firm handshake too!

Amazing service!! Ramiro was very helpful with fixing my truck. He took me in on short notice and got it fixed the same day. He's a very kind and genuine person, and really helped me out. Will definitely come back if I ever have any other issues in the future.

I had my 1974 Datsun 260z, and it was idling high and having terrible gas mileage. It was so loud and I am afraid to drive it so I took it to his shop. It took him 5 minutes to figure out the problem by listening and he just fixed it on the spot for me. He also charged me for half of what the other shop quoted me and they don't even guarantee the fix. Ramiro was also so chill and cool and we chatted in his shops for hour on end after the carbs fixed and it's such a blast. I also am no longer worried about my car having issues anymore since I know now, he is the person I can rely on. I would give him six stars if I can.

Ramiro is a good and honest person and fun. He repairs my car and recommendations that based on my budget and taught me to prolong the life of my car. Most of all, his rate is very reasonable. I would use his service from now on. I recommend Ramiro for anyone who has car problem.
