Vince serviced my car and was so relieved to find a awesome mechanic. I'm a single senior and was treated so kind by Vince. Had someone try to fix car before Vince and was left with same problem engine light on. Vinci's auto repair is my go to now on. Thank you so much.

Found this place while looking around for a solution to an electrical issue I had on my 2016 Camry that shut off while driving and would no longer turn on. I changed both battery and alternator. They ran a diagnostic test and turned out it was a bad body control module and they were able to fix the issue for a reasonable cost the same day. This place has good honest workers and my new go-to mom & pop shop. Thanks for the help!

I spent all of today going from auto shop to auto shop trying to figure out how to remove an abs exciter from the back of my rotor so I could replace the studs. I thought that it was machine pressed to the back of the rotor and every mechanic shop I went to said they had no idea how to take it off for me. I ended up getting referred to Vince by a guy at a tire shop in riverside and upon arriving to his place, he showed me how to do it by tapping out the lugs from the front of the rotor which pushed the excited right off. Problem solved and he didn’t even charge me. Nice guy, great service, and I’ll definitely be coming back here. Thanks for the knowledge Vince.

Vince is the man. Had my cars thermostat go out. Was able to limp it to his shop. He hooked me up with a ride to my work and picked me up when he was done. My thermostat wasn't available as my motor was from Japan. But he was still able to modify the thermostat open so I could get the car home about 45 minutes away. There, I can get the correct part and install it myself.

I was checking around where is closes auto shop near work, Vince's Auto Repair was by my neighbor sew the review people spoke very highly of him. Call him for ask a quotation for water pump repair, it sound fair price to me. Took the car over and was told 3-4 hours it should be ready. Also help me with other issue I have on the SMOG check. I would recommend him to everyone for now on best mechanic in riverside county. Reasonable and reliable .

Vince is very fair and does an amazing job. Took my car to a few shops and got some ridiculous prices. Vince took a look at my car and told me what needs to be done and what can wait. He was so good I went back right away so he can take care of the vibration issues I had with the car. A few hours later and he changed the engine mounts and some other work and now my car rides like new! Will definitely go back to him in the future. A+ work.

I was recommended to Vince's Auto Repair by my neighbor who spoke very highly of him to begin with. I had two vehicles that were broke down at the same time. I had them both towed to the shop on a Friday afternoon. I received a call from Vince saying that both vehicles were ready to go within a couple of hours! I could not believe that nor could I believe the price for both! Definitely reliable will tell u exactly what is wrong with your car and not trying to take advantage of the situation. I would recommend him to everyone for now on best mechanic in riverside county. Reasonable, reliable , efficient and fast.

I Brought my 1995 camero into Vinces so he could repair the mess a friends mechanic did to my car. My car was repaired in 3 hours and runs like a DREAM!! I have now found my best mechanic for all my repairs. Quality work at excellent prices! It was my lucky day when I found Vince's Auto Repair.

I was having battery issues, so I assumed it was a bad alternator. I left my car at the shop just in time before the shop closed. Vince ended up giving me a call later that night that the truck was ready. Vince was professional, quick and very transparent and honest with pricing and what he did. I would definitely recommend you to bring your vehicles at Vince’s Auto Repair.

Guy on the phone seemed chill, but after coming in at the time given (to run a diagnostic/AC fixed) I showed up to a sign saying be back in 45 min. Called to see whatsup and told to wait 15 more min. It was 80+° and after waiting for 25 min I dipped. I'm sure the service would've been decent per the recommendation I got, but I'm not trying to waste my time waiting again.

I’m new in town and I heard good things about this auto shop. So I stopped by and met Vince. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. After speaking to him and finding out prices on different repairs” I have no doubt when I need auto service. This is a place I’ll be coming. Thank you Vince. 👍🏻 So like I said, I would Come to Vince’s auto when I needed a repair. Today I needed a repair for my wife’s valve cover gasket, 2015 Honda that was leaking. Vince was very professional and gave me a great price. The quality of work was second to none. He even cleaned the engine for me for free. Thank you, Vince. God bless.

Took my wifes car for some much needed attention. Vince was more than helpful in explaining what the car needed and completed all the repairs with a more than fair price. I ended up dropping of my Accord when I grabbed my inheritance car. I would definitely recommend Vince's to anyone needed their car looked at and taken care of.

Vince is one of a kind! He was my mechanic hero for 2025 and I know he will be for 2026! I'm very Blessed to have a mechanic like this! For sure 1 of a kind! He fixed my Toyota Big Red, I went in for one issue then he found another issue that I've been putting off it was oil leaking into the spark plugs. He saved me from having to sell a kidney to pay for his work. He was very thorough and everything that he fixed has been running smooth! I don't trust many people at all, but I like his quality of work and he seems very upfront! Today I took my car back to him for my serpentine belt. He was right on time with meeting me. He's super kind and I can tell he prides his work that's something that I personally cherish! Even when I move out of the area I will be driving or towing to him lol. Thank you Vince I truly appreciate you a ton! Highly recommend!
