My car needed a new engine because it had a lot of miles. Brett and Jim put in a new engine with brand new parts, and they did a great job as usual even though it was a lot of work. The price was very fair. I've been going to My Mechanic for years and trust them completely. They know cars, are reliable, trustworthy, honest, and fair. Brett and his team always deliver outstanding service. My Mechanic is the only place I'd go to for car service. Highly recommended.

These guys do great work. They were able to get my truck in the shop under short notice and charged me less than they initially quoted over the phone. Awesome!

Brett and his team are excellent! Unfortunately, I had to learn this the hard way. I took my Jeep to two different dealerships four separate times, but they were unable to diagnose the problem. One dealership even kept my car for a week, returned it with a dent on the door, added 49 extra miles, and still had no answers. When I visited Off Road Werkz, the technician drove the car with me, quickly identified the problem, ordered the part, and returned my car the next day. They are honest, communicate well, and take great care of your car. They also contacted my warranty company, making the whole process easy and smooth. Thank you, Brett and team!

I just want to share my sincere appreciation for this garage and the work they did on my 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL. I purchased from Carvana which I had a great experience with the first time I used them, however, this time they sold me a Jeep with a well used front end that shook me into next year at speeds of 35+ on surface streets and on the Hwy. If you don't know what "Death Wobble" is, you will know 100% when it happens. I was acquainted with DW on the way to work at 65-75 mph down the 101 and I thought I needed to turn around for a new pair of pants. It was like someone put my steering wheel in the paint mixer at Lowes. I made a call, Jim let me know to bring my Jeep in and they had it on the lift and were inspecting it before my Uber pulled into the parking lot. Later in the day Jim let me know the front suspension was trash, he said they have the parts to fix it and could get it started right away, so I gave them the green light and the work was done. Since I had to go through the Carvana warranty process I asked Jim and the Mechanics to document all the work so I can prove it to SilverRock (Carvana's partner in crime) and they did just that. They gave me clear video evidence of the parts that shouldn't flex, but were obviously flexing and I used that to start my claim. Carvana and SilverRock gave me the run around like all shady insurance companies do. They gave me the "Sorry the parts they put on are not covered, we only cover OEM", completely negating that fact that they sold me a car with a failing front end and I needed a vehicle to get me to work and transport my kids around in. I had no choice but to get it fixed ASAP. After many calls and emails to SilverRock and Carvana I went back to Brett and Jim to see if they could put together an invoice for the same work, but with OEM parts instead, and they did. I gave the OEM parts invoice to SilverRock/Carvana and they did the honorable thing and reimbursed me for nearly the entire amount after the -350 out of network cost and the -120 for the difference between Falcon parts vs OEM parts. All in all I couldn't ask for a better out come and a better experience with My Mechanic / Off Road Werkz. They've earned my business for life and I won't take my Jeep anywhere else as long I live in Ventura. P.s. Avoid Carvana like the plague.

I have a 2018 Jeep wrangler JKU Sahara purple, I am the first owner and I had a problem with the smell of gas in the near of the car, I highly recommend this shop due to the owner being super friendly, respectful and honest very honest with me and his work, he did not try to hide anything from me, he showed me the scan tool while it was plugged into my car, he checked the whole car system with the smoke test, showed and explained everything he was doing, then he lifted the jeep and he found the problem, he replaced the part in about 5 minutes or less and there is no smell of gas anymore, now I can park my jeep back in my house garage, I highly recommend this shop and the owner, thank you 🙂

These days it is very hard to find a straight forward honest mechanic shop. These guys are solid, and they did give me a straight forward estimate and a breakdown of the issues with my Jeep. I highly recommend them!

We went to Off Road Werkz to have my brakes inspected. I was told that they were terrible. $800 to fix. Was told I needed major repairs and my vehicle wasn’t safe to drive. I took it for a second opinion and was told that my brakes were fine. They even showed me what they were looking for. 9/10 would not recommend. Trust is everything. I don’t trust them and will not be going back nor recommending them.

Love the work these guys have done to my Wrangler! Besides the awesome service they've done to keep it running in top condition they've also installed inner liners and modified my front bumper into a stubby. I couldn't be more pleased and happy to find mechanics who really care about pleasing their customers. Brett and Nick are awesome, knowledgeable and always greet me with a smile.😊

Brett and crew at My Mechanic/Off Road Werkz are the real deal. It is hard to find competency, work ethic and integrity in one shop, but you’ll definitely find it here. There is nothing I would not trust these guys to do on my vehicle. I highly recommend this shop for anything from an honest thorough inspection to the most complex job. These guys can be trusted to care for your vehicle as much as you do.

Had some issues with my rear locker not unlocking on a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. Brett and his team were able to efficiently find and fix the problem. They also suggested a superchip which resolved my speedometer and shifting issues. I look forward to returning to address other issues in the near future. Brett and his team were Honest, Patient, & Efficient. I would definitely recommend to other offroaders. Updated 9-8-2022 It seams like most businesses have found a way to squeeze every penny out of the customer during these tough economic times. This isn't the case with the Team at Off Road Werkz. They took me in same day without an appointment, efficiently diagnosed the issue, made the repairs, and called to report the car was ready by 4 pm. The bill for the work was way less than I expected. I could not be more satisfied with the experience. This level high integrity and superior service has already made me a loyal customer after only two visits. Thanks again to the staff Another Job Well Done!

Our trucks all get used heavily off road on our ranch in the mountains. This is the only shop we use for maintenance and repairs. We can drop off a truck and know that they'll take care of us, find the parts no matter what and save us some money where possible. Our trucks have a lot of miles on them, and every time we think of getting new vehicles, we end up coming back to the Off Road guys and they get us back in the dirt again!

Brett was very accommodating and patient with all my questions. When I delivered my Jeep he was so friendly and knowledgeable. He also showed me some ideas for future builds. Above all else I was blown away by how he stuck to his word and was so trustworthy on the quote and made sure to document everything. I am a mechanics son and am very picky if I have to have someone else touch my vehicles but Brett has shown so much character I strongly recommend him and will be back for future upgrades and repairs.

This is an excellent mechanic shop and highly respected Jeep specialist shop. They are a local old school mom and pop business and they work really really hard. I love the fact that I get to interact with the actual mechanics who work on my jeep. They are extremely knowledgable and passionate about Jeeps of all years, they also do a lot of other makes/models and specialize in off road 4x4 vehicles. I also LOVE that they don't use cheap parts (ie they gave me a really nice high end fuel pump/assembly!).They clearly know what they are doing without having to explain it. I also like that they schedule based on severity and need. Definitely recommended shop.

I came here to have the front axles on my 2008 Toyota FJ replaced. Everyone in the shop was incredibly friendly, the owner personally talked to me about the warranty I have on the product and his own shop warranty, and they finished it really quickly! The best part also was the price. They're incredibly fairly priced. I'll definitely come back here for any other work I need done.

Back in September, I had some repair work done on my vehicle specifically relating to the intake valve. After the repairs were completed, I noticed that my car no longer experienced any breakdowns and remained in good working condition when I took it to the shop. The fix seems to have resolved the issue effectively.

They always come through with only what’s needed. I have brought my Jeep in to them for over a year and it is running better than ever once the fixed all my suspension issues. I have brought it in on other occasions to have several things routinely checked and they were so honest and only worked on things that were needed and told me the other things were fine. They also warranty over and above what the state requires which is grea!

From the moment I walked in I was helped quickly and with respect. Megan at the front desk was friendly. Brent checked out my jeep and found the problem. Nick helped when I picked up the jeep and gave me a few pointers on picking out a new 4x4. I will definitely recommend this place and I look forward to coming back hopefully not too soon haha thanks again guys.
