Wow! Hands down the best mechanic I’ve ever taken a vehicle to. Arturo and his team recently put a new clutch, locking diff, and rear driveshaft in my wrangler. The car’s got 173,000 miles on it but feels brand new again. Arturo was super quick to reply over phone and email and gave me frequent, detailed updates on how the work was going. As someone who prefers to work on their car themselves, it has been very comforting to find a mechanic who will talk through the specifics with me. Also, very fair pricing. One of the most affordable quotes I got, especially when your consider the quality of work you’re paying for over the average shop.

Very honest and straightforward. Arturo does the little things right in running an auto repair shop that inspire trust and confidence in the client. Will definitely use him again for future needs that his shop specializes in.

Bottom of my car was hanging down dragging. They fixed it at no extra charge while I got my oil changed with them. They do excellent car repair work without over charging.

Called and looked around at multiple places, finally called CMT and spoke to Arturo who got the best quote to get my transmission rebuilt and get a part put back in that I’ve needed for a while! Arturo was honest and very helpful and went above and beyond to help me out with my car. The service was quick and great and my car issue was completely fixed. Best prices and best engineers in OC , thank you for saving my car Arturo!

LOOK NO FURTHER!!! This Shop is the absolute BEST! I own a FORD RANGER which has one problem after another. ARTURO has been Fair & Honest from the moment we met! He stands behind his work and Explains everything in detail so I can understand all the issues! They do not just work on Transmissions, they work on everything !! I trust this shop 1000%. Wish I found them sooner!! Ask for ARTURO!

I don't do reviews for a poor/good experience at a business, I only do them if it is exceptional. Well, exceptional is what I got from this place. These guys put a new clutch in my '96 Rav4 AWD which is an absolute pain in the a** compared to most clutches. They didn't realize how much work it was going to be and even though it took them another full day of work to finish the job, they still honored the original quote. They did a bunch of "while you're in there" work and only charged me for the cost of the parts. On top of that, they fix a butchered DIY exhaust job that I did and didn't charge me any extra for that. Then when I got the car home, I noticed a clunk coming from the drivetrain and I took it back. When I pulled up they welcomed me back, put my car on the lift immediately, and had three guys checking the car out to give me a quick diagnosis. New clutch = harder backlash in drive shaft, which exposed an old faulty diff mount. Something I can fix myself. Thanks guys, I'll always bring my cars to you. We need more professional and honest car mechanics like you!

I had my transmission repaired with them over a year ago and the tranny is still going perfectly. Super honest transmission mechanics. They gave me a quote for the transmission repair and repaired it for what they quoted. It was ready inside a week. Also, very nice people to deal with, which is always a bonus.

Installed a catalytic converter shield on my Prius for far less than other recommended installers wanted, and less than half the price the dealership charged . Very polite, informative about the process, and did great work. I will definitely use them in the future when the need arises.

The best, reliable, fast and honest mechanic place in the area. They always help you to find the best solución for you, even sometimes going against their interests, which is hard to find. Highly recommended. Thanks Arturo and all you guys for your job .

Super friendly and honest mechanic! Luis quoted me a far price to service my transmission and allowed me to see what other problems I may need to address in the future.

Transmission mechanics with integrity are hard to find. Good transmission mechanics with integrity are even harder to find. These guys are both. Thank you for the great job you do.
