Awesome service and team! Brought in some custom off road mods that I needed attached to my truck and they provided the service I was looking for. The mods look great and professionally installed. Will be bringing my truck there for more mods and service in the future!

Horrible business. I am a returning customer that texted them for a quote for an oil change plus brake fluid service. They never responded so I called them around 1pm directly to ask for the price. The guy who picked up said Tam was out for lunch but he would let me know after he gets back. Fine, guess what? The whole afternoon passed without Tam returning my call or text. So, I called them AGAIN around 4pm and I asked if I am speaking to Tam and the guy who answered kept joking and said “No, this is Juan” while laughing. Really?? The only reason why I kept following up was because I was a returning customer who wanted to support this business. I guess they don’t care anymore. Well, they completely lost my business for my multiple vehicles. I have many friends in OC and will not recommend any of them to go to this place with their immature and unprofessional staff.

Harbor Brakes is an excellent shop for essential repairs and maintenance services. The front desk associates, especially Tam and Juan, are kind, helpful, and always honest and upfront. Juan took great care of me and made the entire process smooth — from quote to drop-off, payment, and pick-up. I had the brakes and rotors replaced on my 2016 Civic, and they installed R1, a brand I know and trust. I dropped my car off at 8:30 AM, and it was ready for pick-up by 10:30 AM. After the service, they also provided a quote for future repairs based on a complimentary vehicle inspection they performed. I trust their recommendations and will likely return in the near future to complete those services. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d happily refer friends and family here. Thanks to the whole team!

Harbor Brakes should be the only place you go to! Amazing service, they took care of my Audi so quick, full brake job and it drives smooth like butter now! Great place and great prices, skip the dealership you won’t regret it.

Appointment scheduling was easy. Brought my car in and got new tires with alignment done. Driving my car now is so much more comfortable thanks to the guys at the shop. Update to existing review: 3/25/25 Superb service! The team at Harbor Brakes helped me replace a flat tire and was able to upgrade my headlights to make it brighter plus fix my backup camera. Reliable, transparent, and overall amazing business.

Took my 2022 Toyota Sienna XSE to their shop yesterday. All 4 of my tires were bald and showing the thread from underneath the tread. It was a possible blowout situation. They immediately got me a great price on 4 new sports tires with installation and alignment. I made my appointment for the following day at 11am. They were prompt professional and courteous. My car was ready within 2-3 hours and I am so grateful. Am definitely coming back for more service. Would definitely recommend!

Harbor breaks was so friendly and quickly got me an appointment to fix 2 tire pressure sensors on my 2013 Prius. They were professional and most importantly did a great job and gave me a great price! Highly recommend!

Harbor brakes is my go to place whenever i need something done with my alignments, but they offer so much more! The staff are friendly and their technicians knowledgeable and they are lowered car friendly! Ive been going here for many years and will continue to do business with them for as long as I can drive. Appointments are not necessary, walk ins are accepted! The prices are fair considering how other places charge much more for less. The 5/5 star review is well deserved and i will come back again when i need something done

Great customer service! Reasonable prices! Competent mechanics! They go out of their way to ensure excellent service. They fixed poor repairs from Expertec Automotive in Huntington Beach. I will be going to Harbor Brakes for all my repairs going forward.

Clean inside, great service, and great prices. Came in for an alignment. The guys took care of my lowered car. They redid it multiple times even after it was still pulling and the numbers looked good. Shows the effort they put into satisfying their customers. Turned out to be an issue with my coilover adjustment and the alignment was fine, but they were happy to help rather than being annoyed at the car. Super nice guys and better prices than other shops I called. Would recommend.

Boy! Am I glad I found Harbor Brakes! My niece was in town with her 2015 Kia Soul and I could tell her brakes were bad -- I couldn't let her go back to Phoenix with brakes that bad. I asked around and a couple of buddies mentioned Harbor Brakes. I "researched" and saw that they have a great Yelp rating with a lot of reviews, so I decided to drop by to check them out, in person. The service writers are friendly and knowledgeable. The cusomer/waiting area is clean, well lit, and has reasonably comfortable seats, a good TV, and snacks. The shop is clean and well organized. The brake technicians/mechanics are no-nonsense, and focused on getting the job done -- quickly and professionally. I did 4 wheels, brakes and rotors. The job was completed and road tested in just over 2 hours -- and the price was fair and VERY competitive. I enthusiastically recommend Harbor Brakes and say, "Thank you for great service and a job done well."

I bought 2 sets of tires from Harbor Brakes recently. The staff was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Richard gave me a few quotes and would tell me when his prices were mot competitive. I ended up with 2 sets of Goodyear and the prices were very good. Importantly, it was Richard’s honesty that won me over. The tires were installed properly and quickly.

Harbor Brakes was outstanding; truly a great experience. I came in and spoke with Tam at the front desk and told him I needed to be out within about two hours. Sure enough, the job was done in about an hour and fifteen minutes, which completely exceeded my expectations. The car was in and out, and everything came out great. The entire staff was friendly and hardworking, and the office was very clean and welcoming. If you do have to wait, there’s a TV playing movies, which makes it a really comfortable environment. Tam is professional and knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s knowledgeable and straightforward, which I really appreciated. As a local, it was great to find a solid, reliable shop right here in my area. I’ll definitely be coming back for future work, and I believe they also offer other car modifications; just make sure to ask Tam. Thank you, Harbor Brakes. I really appreciate you guys.
