Super quick high quality service by a great guy. I went in he put my car on the lift and 20 min later he was finished. Great welds and amazing service for a very good price.

Rom is a really nice responsive guy that does not try to upsell or overcharge if you need a simple repair. He is an old school neighborhood mechanic and will be using him more in the future.

Rom is a crook. I bought a car off of him in January- his moms car- that had high mileage but he said he had replaced the engine an the new engine only 60k on it. Generally I could be wary about purchasing a used car in the way but he was a "friend of my boyfriends" so I figured he was trustworthy. I stressed to him that I needed something really reliable for maybe a year or so since as a single female living far away from home or friends and without triple a, breaking down somewhere is a very scary process an could leave me stranded. He assured me the car was good for another "100k miles!" The check engine light went on while we were test driving it and claimed that he would check all the fluids and make sure everything was running smoothly before I took it to San Diego. When picking it up for purchase i asked him if the car was mechanically sound since thats all i cared about and I did not have the money for extensive repairs (hence why buying an I expensive car from a "friend") and once again he assured me the car was in great condition. About a month later the engine lighy came on and it started stalling out at lights or stop signs. I took it to a mechanic who said something was wrong with the fuel system, the struts needed to be replaced, all of the engine fluids were polluted and needed to be flushed. Essentially what they told me was that he sold me a lemon and as a car person who knew this car well should have been able to anticipate problems like this down the line yet he failed to mention anything other than the obvious faded paint to me. And now on top of it, 6 months later, the car won't even start. After trying to resolve the issue with Rom where he took no responsibility for misleading me he promptly hung up on me. Super professional. Anyways- long story short- this guy is a hustler and will try to take advantage of anyone. DO NOT give him your business.

I had a horrible experience at this shop. I left my car one morning for a simple resonator replacement. I picked it up at the shop's closing time and noticed that there's something weird with it. The car radio anti theft system was locked, but I ignored it. Later I figured out that my seat adjustment doesn't work. I looked underneath the seat to find a piece (a bar) that connects the power motor with the seat broken! This bar sits right under the seat, and apparently without noticing that the seat is a power seat, someone at the shop tried to adjust the seat by forcefully pulling the bar, which broke it. I went back to the shop to complain, but the guy who works there denied everything and even accused me for breaking my own car! In addition, there was another guy who doesn't even work there (just this worker's friend) who was very hostile to me. They said that even if it was broken while the car was in the shop, it wasn't them, and that they take no responsibility for the cars taken for a repair. The guy who works there even said "Look, all these cars parked around the store, they are all unlocked, I don't guarantee anything, but bad things don't happen". Well, guess what, bad things happen, and I strongly advise you not to leave your car to a shop that couldn't care less if you get your car back in one piece or not.

My car needed a new catalytic converter. Not because it was stolen just old. But I was worried from the string of people stealing them that it could be possible. I went to Economy Muffler in Goleta. They do an extra anti theft procedure to protect the converter from being stolen. I highly recommend having it done even if you don't need a new one. Rom the owner is really nice, honest & does great work!

Rom is absolutely the best Mechanic. He is honest, hard working and reasonable. I hear that people as far as Santa Maria use Economy, because they know he is honest. It's hard to find someone you can trust. You won't be disappointed. Call Rom 📞
