I went there two weeks ago to get an estimate on putting after market radiator fans on my 2005 GTO. The main mechanic there was very condescending, saying that it would take 10 hours to do a job like that and he had a lot of business for him to basically waste his time with the install. I used to take my GTO there for some minor repairs. I work on my cars and consider myself a Mechanic by hobby not trade. I've built engines and other hard things on my cars. However, I needed someone else to help me with the install since I was busy with work and I did not have to time to mess with my GTO. Long story short, I ended up going to M & N Smog and Muffler on University Ave. Mike the main man, was able to install it for me charged me $500 flat which was fair. I was happy with his install. I would no longer recommend these guys as the success got to their head, especially that "Chilango" mechanic.

Idk what this kid Ramon was thinking, but he wanted to charge thousands of dollars for an old car i took to them. i knew the repairs were not gonna be thousands. I went to another place 700 and got everything fixed. Avoid this repair shop , or this kid trying to charge thousands and taking advantage of people that don't know about cars never again coming to this repair shop.

I have been going to Vehicle Repair Center for many years. The owner and mechanic, Cecelio, is very knowledgeable and professional. I recently went in thinking I had an engine issue but it turned out to be something with the tire. They are honest and will give you a correct diagnosis and fix only what is needed. Paul, who runs the office, is also very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I highly recommend Vehicle Repair Center.

My sister-in-law brought her car here to get her mechanical work dome. The owner is nice and explains in detail the work that needs to be done, always keeping me informed on what is going on with her car. They offer warranty for a year which is NiCe. I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends.

Went today to get my brakes fixed, frantically calling around for quotes, I got ahold of VRC through a recommendation and was not disappointed. The customer service was great, they were super knowledgeable about what my options were and worked with me to get my truck on the up and up. I can honestly say that now i feel safe driving. Definitely recommend; will be returning again!

I have known two of the people that worked there for years when they were with Baldwin Automotive in Moreno Valley. They are a very reputable place to take your car for repairs. They never insist on something being repaired. They leave that up to you and their prices are very very fair. Cecilio owns the repair center and Paul Baldwin is the person I always deal with and making appointments; many times it’s a last minute thing and he just tells me to just bring it in And the repairs are done with in a half hour

Mauricio and Roman have serviced my car for years at this point and have always got back to me same day with a detailed breakdown of what is needed to be done. Will recommend, especially if you live in the nearby neighborhood.

Been coming here for about a year now and I have yet to be disappointed. Best prices all around and Mauricios hospitality is unmatched. If I could give a 6/5 stars I would. In other words don’t think twice about coming here If you need assistance or repairs with your vehicle.

Ruben and Dylan and the other mechanics at Vehicle Repair Center are amazing! Paul is great, too, he makes you feel welcomed and completely at ease when you leave your car there.They fixed my car promptly and efficiently, and it’s working great! I go to them for all of my oil changes, and if there’s a bigger problem with my car, they can fix it. They are honest, very kind and knowledgeable and truly understand the value of your time. My brothers also take their cars to them as well.

These fellas have been helping me keep my $3,000 Nissan road-ready for the past three & a 1/2 years. While the dealership wanted to charge 2 grand for a diagnosis only, Cescellio and Ramon were smart enough to cheaply figure out that it's a faulty fuel injector, so they fixed it, and they didn't overcharge me. Because of this, I plan on going to VRC in Riverside for all car-related repairs. Finally, their new office manager Gabriel speaks excellent English and Spanish and is a good addition to their team.

I really appreciated Gabriel explaining to me what was wrong with the car and what was done and what he suggested for basic maintenance for future budgeting. Not everyplace is patient enough to do that. Both times I’ve been there, I’ve been happy with how car drove after the repairs with no follow- up issues. Will definitely recommend and come back. Thank you Gabriel and the tech that fixed my suspension!

I came here on a Saturday because my car’s battery was draining while it was off. They started the repair that day and then waited a week for a specific part to ship. Gabriel was very informative, transparent about the pricing, and considerate in saving me money. They charge I believe $110 an hour for labor. My bill was about $500 to fix the wiring. But I don’t think most people would have such time-consuming problems so I recommend going here for a lot of typical repairs.

Very knowledgeable and dedicated mechanics. Excellent customer service. When you bring your car in, they work on it, and repairs are done sooner than other places I’ve been to. Reasonable prices, which helps, when you rely on your transportation, and breakdowns are usually unexpected surprises.

Honest work & fast service. I've taken all three of my trucks there to get smog ✔️ & had repairs done to a few of them also. Local spot close to home & convenient. I'd recommend them to anyone who needs mechanical work done. Ask for Manual he'll take care of you.
