The manager changed front brakes and rotors. He had me in and out in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Look no further. Very professional and good energy.

Wonderful experience! Quoted me a fair price and stuck to it. Inspected and called to discuss the work needed before doing it. A good, honest mechanic is worth its weight in gold and these guys are it!

I'm giving 5 stars simply for their pricing. My daughter bought herself brakes and rotors for the front and rear of the car and took it to Brake Masters to install. They were going to charge her $300 just to install them!! I was like, oh heck no. Rushed over there and took the car back, called Dobs who did it for HALF THE PRICE!!! hate mechanics that rip off hard working people. Thank god for Dobs

This is the worst Auto place I've came to, first of all I came here to get all four tires replaced, everything was fine. Then a few weeks after I noticed that one of the tires was low, so I went to the closest gas station and tried pumping air on the tire but no luck, then I came back to this shop and told them why they didn't tell me about the tire valve stem being broken. Then he asked me who had helped me that day, but unfortunately I did not remember his name, but they had me on file, so I'm sure he would know. All he said was that he was sorry, and that unfortunately he was not here at the time. He did take the broken sensor out and I was able to pump air. But is that not part of your job to let your customers know that you encountered some problems with the car? How can I trust bringing my car here? How do you expect for me to recommend this Auto place when the job was not done properly. I am so upset that on top of that my car needed alignment in the back, and they only aligned the front when I got my tires replaced. Just the worst experience ever!!

The service men at the Oxnard Dobbs are very sketchy. I've had my chrome lug nuts replaced by non chrome lug nuts, and recently took my trunk in for TPMS repairs. Kept my TPMS sensor reset switch! I'll never go there again.

Absolutely great place! They are honest straight forward mechanics they don’t try to overcharge you or pressure you on anything. They will give you a honest fair price and guarantee they will be more affordable than any other place in the city.

Got my front brakes done. Memo listened to my issues, let me know the estimate, and got to work on my car himself. My first time there, but after the great service I received, definitely won't be my last!

Over-priced. Went in for transmission work and they offered a used/refurbished transmission for $5k and they were very transparent about them being unable to program the car and “mickey-mousing” a solution. We rejected this offer and went to their competitor that did it for $2k less, plus it was a brand new transmission, and they programmed the car to factory specs. A few months later i got a quote for replacing a single ignition coil for the ridiculous price of $680. I declined this and went to their competitor that did it for $100 (I provided the parts), plus they offer warranty on their work. Lastly, my sister went in for a brake job. They performed the work and returned the car with squeaky brakes and a grinding feeling when the brake pedal was pressed. I had high hopes for these guys, but they are your typical crooked mechanic shops you get warned about!!!

First time here and they did an incredible job. Memo, the manager, helped me throughout the whole process of my car that was in dire need of brakes. My drum brakes were misaligned so every time I would brake my front brakes won't activate as well and it would scratch my rotors. Can't believe I was driving like that for over 5 years but I'm glad I got everything done on the spot!! Price was very reasonable for what I needed which was a full brake change from front to back plus new brake fluid. Thanks again to all the guys @ Dobs for working on my car to getting it back to safety measures for me to drive.

Brought my vehicle here recently and my personal opinion is that Dobbs is a reputable and affordable business. Bring your car here for friendly service and support. Memo was a pleasure to work with.

Very happy with their service. I brought in my 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Memo went above and beyond to fix the repairs needed. They replaced my power steering pump, AC compressor, and tires. Parts for these trucks are very hard to find but Memo took the time and effort to locate them. Very friendly, honest, and fair prices. I would definitely recommend and come back to this shop in the future. Thanks again, Memo!

I go here often. They are friendly. The mechanics are excellent. Prices range from competitive to "I am very happy". I trust them and have not been disappointed and so take my business there often and will continue to do so. For tires, brakes and servicing at least give them a call. You may be pleasantly surprised.

I've been living in oxnard for over a year now. I have been a loyal customer to Dobbs. Every oil change, brakes anything. I'm actually convinced they cause more problems. I went to get my oil changed and I asked them to look at my brakes. They used the impact to get my bolts off. Stripped every single bolt 5 dollars a nug 5x5 25x4 100 and on top of a oil change. I walked out of there over 250 dollars spent on a simple oil change and check brakes. I came in at 9a as a walk in. I didn't leave until 3:40pm. I had a radiator leak they fixed it. He asked about it during the oil change when I got home my radiator started leaking fluid. I have been loyal to this business and to be treated like scum is beyond insulting. I will never come back with my business ever again. Save your time and money. I was Nickle and dimed. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else. Every time I came in to get a repair something else broke down. It's not coincidence anymore!!!!

Amazing!!! My family and I have been going to Dobbs for years. They are thorough, professional and very reasonably priced. They have found issues, that even my auto dealer hadn't found, but were way cheaper than the dealership. They even try and source parts from multiple suppliers to get you the best price. Honest, fair and trustworthy. Highly recommend!

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I came in because my check engine light was on and there was oil leaking from my car. My car was running perfectly fine and had no issues when driving it. I came to them so they could check it out and give me a quote they were going to charge me and the quote was close to $2K to fix the check engine light and the leaking gas. I decided to not move forward and the same day I came to get my car back I still had to pay $120 for the labor. When I got my car back I couldn’t even put pressure on the gas pedal my car wouldn’t go more than 25 mph. When I called them they said it was mostly likely due to the check engine light. My car was literally shaking and sounded horribly. Not once in that moment were they like you can come back we can check it out. It wasn’t until the second time I called saying you guys definitely messed something up when you guys took my car apart. They said I could bring it in and they would check it out for free as they should because it was their mistake. When I called that same morning to tell them I was bringing a tow truck to drop off my car they said gaslight me into believing that this issue wasn’t their fault because they claimed they never took the car apart. Which is untrue because the prior call they told me they did take the car apart to check it out. Once I brought it in I kid you not 30 minutes later they call telling me it was a mistake on their end and forget to put to wires back together which is why the car was running like that when THEY TOOK IT APART. One last thing I called another mechanic to give me a quote for what these people were trying to charge me and they were going to charge me half the price of what these people were trying to charge me. DO NOT GO HERE ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A GIRL THEY WILL OVER CHARGE YOU!! I am beyond upset and can’t believe they would mess with my car I’m so disgusted.

Dobs is the WORST auto repair shop in Ventura county. This was the third shop I took my car to. They told me like the two shops that it was my master air flow sensor, WRONG!!!! My car died on me on the freeway. Had to push my car by myself to the side. I used to be a mechanic so I knew just to wait it out. Car started again in fifteen minutes. Got my car to Asian Auto Tech repair shop in Ventura. They told me that someone at the other shop left an air hose disconnected. That is why my car died. They fixed everything. The wires connecting to the air flow sensor was eaten by an animal. The fixed the wires and my car runs GREAT!!!! If you don't Care about your Car take it to Dobs, the WORST!!!! They get uneducated mechanics!!!!

Great service I highly recommend. I called and they were able to take my car in that same day for a Sunday. I was able to get all breaks and an oil change so quick for a great price including military discount.
