Walked up to some guy asked him if I could speak to somebody about getting some work done. Look at me like if I was crazy like if I walked into a candy shop asking for tires. Also, you need an appointment that's a huge zero.

I was recommended here by a good friend. I won't go anywhere else to get my Honda CRV serviced! It's the best in quality repairs, maintenance and friendliness, thanks to Michael and the team of workers.

Those people are awesome super friendly fast honest and very reasonable price even if I came walk-in and alone as an Asian female. No fake reviews like the most of other places has. Solid business. I love the professionalism. Did my overdue oil change too and it was decent price too. Thank God this place is right by my house. Highly recommend this place.

The owner, Michael, was very kind and honest. Southcoast Toyota tried a scare tactic on my car, I went to him with their exaggerated quote and he not only took the time to check out my car but also showed me the “supposed” problem spots that Southcoast Toyota tried to scare me with. Said it wasn’t an urgent fix like they made it seem. The suspension bolts did not shear/break as they claimed and he showed me where they were located under my car and took the time to educate me. I read Yelp reviews before going, and as a female wanting to feel safe and not get ripped off, he reassured me and did not charge for his time. I’m a converted lifelong customer. Will be going back in a few weeks for oil change, transmission, new tires (he doesn’t do tires but will hook it up through his referral). Love that I’ve found my one stop shop! Thank you for your kindness and giving me faith in humanity! Female customers on Yelp swayed my decision to pick his shop over others, their reviews about making us feel comfortable was spot on!

Decades of experience dealing with various auto mechanics, and nobody beats Harbor Auto. Nobody. Best work, trustworthy and honest service, good prices, and did I say honest? Let me say it again. I now live almost an hour away, and I will still take my car there and rent a car if necessary. Thank you for the many years of service!!

I was quoted $7k by South Coast Toyota to get several things fixed on my car which they assured me were imperative. After a few months of searching for a new car, being that I didn’t want to put $7k into my current one, I figured I would get a second opinion. I selected Harbor Auto because it was nearby— I knew nothing about them before coming in. After only a few minutes on the phone, I had an appointment set same day. I returned a few hours later, and they had completed their inspection of my vehicle. They walked me underneath the car, showing me what the dealership was referring to, and told me that they were glad I came by before paying the outlandish price. Out of the laundry list of items Toyota told me I had, Harbor Auto only identified one which was immediately needed. They told me I can come in any day next week to get it repaired…. $300. Inspection free. Unfortunately, this kind of honesty and transparency doesn’t exist much in America anymore. I’m no car guy, but I am going to find every way possible to line these guys pockets! Couldn’t recommend this shop more.

We took my daughter’s 2013 Ford Explorer in for a transmission flush and to rotate the tires. It was our first time here and we had the best experience! They were upfront on the cost over the phone and while the vehicle was there we received a call recommending front brakes. I hadn’t even asked them to check the brakes and felt grateful that they had inspected them. We did the transmission flush, front brakes, and a tire rotation, it was done the same day and it was less than what we were quoted! Everyone was very polite to us and we felt well taken care of! Don’t hesitate bringing your vehicle here!

My son and I both use Harbor Auto Service Center for all of our car repair needs. We are so pleased with the high level of service and expertise. Excellent location, fast repairs, very experienced mechanics. Michael Pavone is the friendly manager, and Swim is the best mechanic on Earth!

Got my brakes and oil changed for my Suburban. Ask for Mike he’s a great guy, the shop is also extremely clean and comfortable for being a mechanic, they obviously take pride in what they do. 10/10 recommend

These guys are great! Been to them for a few things and they always take care of me and my cars and are honest with me. Haven’t ever felt taken advantage of before, which is a big deal in this area/being a woman! They were accurate with their diagnosis with my last car and its problems so I ended up selling it and they’ve taken care of my new to me car too! Took in my Lexus to get check engine light figured out and they told me everything they did and what they figured out. When I went to pick it up they also told me they found a nail and my tire and plugged that too! Solid, friendly, and reputable business! Hope they always stay that way :)

Needed a front bearing replaced. They asked for it to be dropped it off first thing. Not long afterward they called to say they recommended replacing the hub, too. Still got the car back by the end of the day. Good communication, fair pricing. Been a customer for a couple of years now.

This auto shop was recommended by multiple community groups on Facebook and I went here a few months ago to get my Honda serviced. Great customer service and prices. The mechanic even showed me up close the damage I had done to my car and explained exactly what had to be replaced and done to fix everything. I appreciated the insight and seeing the problems he pointed out. I thought I just needed my break pads replaced but I had worn in my pads so badly it caused a lot of damage to my car (it was obvious after the mechanic took the wheel and parts off and showed me). So I had to get more replaced than originally expected but it was definitely needed. Would recommend this mechanic to anyone, will go back again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had taken my 2015 Nissan Senta to Surf City Nissan and I spent tons of time with them working on my vehicle and they just seemed clueless. They were trying to scam me and charge me thousands of dollars. I took my car to Harbor Auto Service to Johnny and his team. Let me just say... BEST SERVICE EVER. These guys treated me like family, lots of communication, they fixed my issue and didn't charge me an arm and a leg for it. Everything about this shop was great. I will bring any of my vehicles here from now on and I'd recommend them to anyone. If you want your car fixed properly, be treated with respect and not get ripped off. This is the place to go.

Had a blown power steering hose, brought it to Harbor Auto Service and they were able to get me in and back out quickly and easily. Great service and easy to deal with. The hose was pricey, but within the range I expected, nothing to complain about. I'll be coming back here for the quality and speed of service.
