Always friendly, very knowledgeable, H&A is a great alternative to the dealership for service. I have been a customer for the last 4 years and I have not been disappointed. No upsell!

I was very satisfied with the service I received. I was in a pinch, and they were able to work on my Honda on a late Saturday night. Highly recommend.

I have a 1989 Honda Prelude, which runs great thanks to H & A Auto. The service has always been exceptional and reasonable.

My husband and I have always been happy with the service and the pricing. Our married daughter has continued to go to H & A. We told Gary he can never retire! :)

I called this company to price out a fuel pump and who ever the Ricky Bobby was that took my call must of been on life support or still is? I asked "do you sell parts" his answer was "depends" what? I said. Again he says depends. Is this a auto parts store I asked? He says Ya we work on cars. So realizing I'm dealing with there no.1 sales rep. I gave him the description of my part. Fuel pump for a chevy Tahoe 2004 4.8. He replays " we don't work on no Chevys!" Sorry. But these guys are completely lame!

H&A is the only place to go if you own a Honda, Toyota or Lexus. We've been going there for close to 20 years. Honest and knowledgeable.

This is the only place to have your Honda or Accura serviced in the Costa Mesa area. It's the only place I go. I've been coming here for over 10 years. I've had three Hondas serviced here. It's still the place after two different ownerships.

Such a sad excuse for a legitimate operation. Was told to bring in my car that won't go into reverse. This isn't an automatic transmission overhaul job and knowing this I wanted to get an opinion from someone who was highly rated. I Call in the morning and they tell me to bring my car in. I ready the car have to find a jump start for it get it warmed up and going. Keep in mind this isn't the safest car to take on the streets because of the reverse problem. I take it in and the front desk guy asks his boss if we can take a look at it. The shameless boss without even turning around says no. Why would you guys make me go through all this work, tell me you guys can take a look at it and then when it comes time to follow through say no. Take your money elsewhere.

We have been bringing our cars to H & A Auto for at least 20 years. We trust that we will get sound advice, a good job done and a fair price...and that has kept us coming back for all these years.

i've been to h&a auto for intermittent tune-ups, but haven't been the most faithful customer - for my own convenience, i'll sometimes run over to oilstop/jiffy lube/whatever else i pass by, but no more - gary has my business now for good! i got into a fender bender a few months ago, and like an idiot, i was more concerned about what the car looked like. it seemed to be running fine, and no lights were going off, so i decided to get body work done, and then take it into the shop for a tune-up eventually. got the body work done, and then afterwards, had lights going off on my dash. went to oilstop, where they told me to change x and y fluids - which i did thinking that would get rid of the lights on the dash....and then the lights went away, so i thought i was golden. later that week, driving to work, my car is starting to puff out white smoke from the exhaust that i can see from the side view mirrors. the night before i take it in, i have white smoke coming from the exhaust AND the hood. i take it in the next morning, and gary confirms what my co-workers suspected, that it is a blown head gasket, and may cost up to $2k if i have to replace that, and what looks like a banged up radiator. totally dejected, i leave my car with him, and go off to fetch a rental, since he said he'd likely need my car for at least four days. when i get home, i have a missed call from the shop - i call them back, and gary tells me that it ISN'T a blown head gasket, just the radiator, that it'd be ~$400, and they'd be done by the end of the day. SO THANKFUL, i was nearly crying. thank you, gary, for your honest work!!! **since this happened a few months ago** i had lights going off on my dash intermittently for the last few days, and today, the car would occasionally "stutter" as i was accelerating - i call to make an appointment to get it checked out. i bring my car in - jeff checks everything out, runs the codes, clears the codes, and tries to get the car to replicate what i was experiencing - but couldn't. even though he did all that work, because he couldn't replicate the issue, there was no charge. LOVE that this shop doesn't make things up or try to up-sell me just because i'm a girl who knows absolutely nothing about cars. i initially found this shop on yelp just looking for something with great reviews close to where i used to live. now, i've moved ~15 miles away - but no doubt, i'll return to h&a auto!!

Jeff and team at H and A Auto have been working on our Hondas and Toyotas for many years. There is nothing more assuring than knowing you have a competent, reliable and affordable auto mechanic that knows you and your vehicles. I recommend anyone with a Honda, Acura, Toyota or Lexus to rely on H and A for tour auto maintenance and repair needs. You will not be disappointed. We own 2013 Honda CRV, 2004 Honda Civic, 2005 Toyota 4Runner, 1995 Honda Civic Hatchback, 2005 Toyota Avalon and a 2015 Toyota Corolla. H and A has helped us maintain all of these cars except the Corolla. It is still under the dealer's care plan. He has worked on other Hondas owned in the paat. He can be trusted.

Jeff is a knowledge mechanic and a standup guy. He always takes the time to thoroughly explain the problem to me. He is honest and friendly!

These guys are life savers, honest, and they do good work as well. With 45 minutes before every auto shop within a 5 mile radius closed for the next two days my serpentine belt abandoned me in an unfamiliar neighborhood with no power steering and two hungry dogs at home chewing apart my living room. I pulled my car into H&A Auto and they had me back on the road heading home to San Diego in less than an hour! Aaand they had to run and get the part! Most Cheescake Factories would tell me to hit the road if I showed up 30 minutes before closing... not H&A. They rock! and I'm pretty sure they should have charged me more!

I've never had any issues with this location. Been bringing my cars here for many years. Jeff has always been straight about what's needs to be done, but also about items I should be on the look out for in the future. I would highly recommend them for your car needs, especially with a Japanese made car.

Even though H & A specializes in servicing Honda's and Acura's, they took in my Toyota Corolla and handled the installation of my struts, replacement of my brake and power steering fluids, and many of my oil changes. Their were instances where Gary gave me a discount after quoting me - I'm guessing because he didn't spend as much time as he originally thought. The thing is, I was already content with the quote and then instantly happy when I saw a discount!

I have had my cars serviced here for several years. I am happy with Gary's high quality and honest work. The price is reasonable. He charged me $15 to change a head lamp, free for a quick diagnosis of engine light on, cheap regular maintenance. Being here many times, I met many happy customers. My next car will be a Honda or Acura because I know that it can be taken care of here.

H&A Auto is the repair shop I've put my trust in for over 15 years for many reasons. They've been written up in the local newspapers, and that's because their service is a throwback to the good old days. H&A is dependable, and when I take my cars there, I know I'll be taken care of, not charged for anything that isn't absolutely necessary, and educated as to what may require maintenance in the future. I've referred numerous family members and friends to H&A for their excellent service, which is what they deliver...each and every time.

I called H&A Auto about a pre-purchase inspection on Saturday morning on a used car I was interested in buying. They quoted me a very reasonable price and I schedule a time to bring the vehicle in on that same day. They test drove it, placed it on a lift and conducted a thorough inspection and gave their opinion on the work that should be done. A must do for any used car purchase, thank you again for such great customer service, the car tips and the overall experience.
