I came in to get a noise diagnosed in my wheels. Instead of diagnosing the noise, he said I needed the brakes replaced. I replaced the brakes and rotors because they were low, but the noise was still there. I went back again, but they said it was actually the rear wheels, and asked for $80 to come back in to check those. I was disappointed by this, and left a 3-star review on Yelp describing the experience in full detail. I felt the service was fine, but I was disappointed that they didn't solve the issue I brought the car in to have repaired in the first place. However, after I left the review on Yelp, the owner responded with a very long reply, blaming me for not knowing which wheel the noise was coming from, and getting upset saying they already did everything correctly. I would have appreciated a simple "Sorry we couldn't fix this, but good luck." As a result, I updated my review from 3-stars to 1-star. Ultimately, they did not solve the problem I brought the car in for in the first place.

I’ve only had them change my oil & oil filter but they did it for a fair price (half as much as my brother-in-law paid) and of course they looked over my brakes told me I’m going to need them soon and gave me an estimate to do so. I’ll let you know more when I have more work done but so far I trust them. Update I had them replace my brakes and felt I can trust Pete because he only replaced necessary parts like the front rotors and not the back, all pads, packed bearings, etc… He also replaced/repaired a transmission sensor which triggered a warning light on my dash board. All in all they do great work while making you feel comfortable/confident that they are taking care of you!!

I've been meaning to write a glowing review since last fall. I cannot recommend Pete @SCV enough. Last fall, my daughter's car broke down with what appeared to be an alternator failure. Since we did not have a trusted local repair shop in the SC area, we took it to the local dealer. After they listed a litany of urgent issues (not one of which was the alternator) we balked and towed it to Pete's place. He diagnosed the alternator failure, fixed it super quick for a great price, and the car has been working perfectly since. Take your car to SCV! Pete will treat you right.

Pete was very helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciated that he told me I didn't need new brakes on the back, just the front. Not all shops would be so honest. I brought my vehicle in at 9:30 the same morning I called, and it was ready to go by 1pm. Happy with the speed of service and prices.

The owner of this shop and his team are great, Pete is truly a good person with good values and he is looking out for the customer. Pete gave me recommendations that saved me a lot of money on my car. Him and his team of professionals went above and beyond helping me get my car safe, drivable, and able to pass the smog test. I went there after getting a check engine light and his test seemed to be the most affordable option while also having stellar reviews. He was patient and helpful and once I was ready to do the repairs his team did the work quickly and was thorough pointing out a safety issue with one of the wheels. I had a great experience there and highly recommend this shop.

I have to say this is the place to go. Pete is an amazing person he works with you goes above and beyond to get the service you need! He makes sure your car is taken care of the way it should be pleasant human being which makes the experience that much better I’ve been looking for a mechanic where I can feel comfortable and trust their word and work and not feel robbed. Thankful I found this place. I appreciate Pete and his staff they’re good people. I definitely recommend! Worked on my 2015 Dodge Hemi.

HONESTY! This is my first time going to SCV Auto Repair! This definitely will not be my last. Pete was honest from the jump, he informed me that he would look at the car to see if the issues I was seeing were the only problems. I left it with him and in less than an hour later he called me telling me what the problem was, what the cost was with different options on parts and gave me a timeframe it would be done. He later called me and told me that the car had a bigger issue than expected and I should get it looked at by the dealer and his fixes wouldn't even matter. You don't find a guy who puts his customers before him and his business anymore! He is truly a one in a million! Thank you sir!

Honest business. The owner, Pete, is a good, honest guy. He gives an honest assessment of your automobile and the best options to move forward with a repair. I had major engine work done. They were efficient and everything went according to planned. I will definitely be back.

SCV Auto Repairs was highly recommended to me by the tow operator who assisted me after my collision, and for good reason! Pete is extremely honest, transparent and cares a lot about the quality of work he does. He is extremely professional and provides great customer service, which was a god-send for someone as inexperienced as myself when it comes to auto repairs. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for work that is no-hassle, honest and high quality.

Pete was able to replace my condenser, compressor and expansion valve all in one day. His quotes for big repair was very competitive compared to the other shops and the dealer. After a few days of repair, he even called me to make sure everything was okay. This will be my go to shop from now on on all the cars I have. Thank you.

Pete is terrific! He took care of my front brakes job on my Cadillac SUV and the cost was very reasonable.

I got luck today! I found a clean and honest auto repair shop. Pete was very clear about what was wrong and what I needed to do. He even prioritized it and explained what should be done and what could happen if I prolonged the work. He gave me the option and his advise. His advise to me was that the work needed to be done on my car was better spent on a new car. That it would not last very long and for me to save the headache! I was blown away and sold at the same time. You have a new customer! Thanks Pete

Looking for an Honest and Professional Auto Repair Service in Santa Clarita? I highly recommend SCV Auto Repairs. I had been looking for a Mechanic for years , until I met Pete. Very nice guy, Professional, Honest, and his cost estimates are very fair and transparent. He is NOT the type of guy who would squeeze more money out of customers by doing unnecessary repairs.
