A friend who is very knowledgeable about cars initially recommended Petty's as the 'only place he would trust' with his vehicles. After working with Andrew for the last several years, I wholeheartedly agree. As a single mom who knows very little about car repairs, I did not want to be taken advantage of. To the contrary. I am always given an estimate as to the repairs needed, with a full explanation. Also, Andrew has a way of explaining car issues in a way that is easy to understand and does not become impatient having to answer questions. The entire crew at Petty's is friendly and seem genuinely concerned for their clients. As an attorney, I feel very comfortable recommending them to anyone needing auto repairs--especially other women with minimal knowledge of auto mechanics. They always return calls promptly with a great attitude!

I take care of my cars. I was taking my Altima and Camry Hybrid to the dealers. I drive a lot and it was killing me. I found out about Pettey's Auto from some friends. What a change! And I'm not talking Spare Change! Andrew gives me great service, he gives me the straight scoop. For example; I purchased a set of tires from a local tire shop, NOT Pettey's the manager called me over to show me why I needed new struts, they had some oil residue on the shock. That was going to be $1400. I told the manager I would "get back to them". I spoke to Andrew Pettey, he said when you're due for the next service we'll check it out. He did and I saved $1400!! I didn't need struts. This is a family run shop Andrew and Karen are great, I guess that's why they've been in business 30 something years.

  • Travis Pittman

Love this place! I currently have my Lexus there, and it has a 2JZ-GTE VVT-i swap that another shop did. Unfortunately (and I knew this was coming after reviewing the car on my own time), I had the swap done at another shop in Santa Ana, which turned out to be a nightmare of a job. Justin (shop mechanic @ Pettey's) has gone over the entire car and worked with Andrew to provide me a list of everything that needs to be fixed. They prioritized the listing for me so that we could tackle the necessary items that needed to be fixed/replaced right off the bat. I am just relieved that my car is finally at a shop that isn't going to try and just take my money without providing quality work. There are way too many shops out there that will.

  • Jim

I've been taking my vehicles to Pettey's Auto Service for about 15 years now and have had nothing but 5-star service. Their work is nothing but top tier. Andrew and the techs Chuck & Justin are awesome, friendly and clearly experts. They're thorough and passionate about resolving car issues in a timely manner and in the most cost-effective way. Some car problems are hard to pinpoint, but they are tenacious and always go the extra mile to uncover the source without overcharging. Use their services with confidence and peace of mind.

  • Lee Bryan

It's hard to find an automobile repair place that you can trust. I have been trusting Petty Automotive to be my auto mechanic shop of choice. Remember you are trusting them with your lives. So make sure they know what they're doing when they repair your vehicle. I advise all my friends to drive a little further to get good quality automobile service. If you have any problems ask for Chuck. He's a friendly mechanic and will take care of you and all your needs!

  • Frank Rodriguez

I finally have a mechanic I can trust, HELLO! You know what I mean, the one's that say --- well the wijjiyarm on the maniform is bent, and you need a new muffler bearing. RIGHT! Petty's Auto Service is Honest and fair priced. My friend recommended them and they have been going there for over 20 years. I'm very satisfied with the service there and it all started with my first oil change. Praise God for Petty's Auto Service!

  • LCordova

Took my Subaru in for a brake and turbo problem. They called me to let me know about how much it would be and about how much time it would take. Never once did they call to add more stuff that I didnt need. Nor did I feel like they were trying to take advantage of me cause I know nothing about cars and am a female. They made me feel like wanted to do a good job. And now my car runs perfect! Until I brake something else

  • Caroline Prasouvo

It is honestly so hard to find mechanics who are honest, kind, affordable, and well-rounded in their knowledge but Pettey’s Auto checks all those boxes! Justin is my go-to mechanic for all my vehicles and not only is he incredibly knowledgeable but also very thorough with his work. I bring my vehicles to Justin for any issues big or small and I can always trust him to do and suggest what is best for my cars!

  • Ty the Solar Guy

I've brought my vehicle to Pettey's so many times for so many things. The transparency and trust you get from Andrew and his team is unmatched in the industry. The best thing you can do to experience this for yourself is get a second opinion from Pettey's Auto ...bring the list of work recommended from elsewhere (especially a dealership) to see what Andrew recommends. Honesty is what you'll find!

  • Sean Miller

Our entire family brings their vehicles to Pettey’s Auto Service. Andrew and his team are extremely knowledgeable and have many years of experience in the automotive industry. I highly recommend giving Pettey’s Auto Service a call if you’re looking for a long term, honest and dependable mechanic for your vehicle. They are the best of the best!

  • Lauretta Woods

They always take care of my car and my worries that something is wrong with it. They make time for me to bring my car in and drop it off so they can check it over. Good news after test driving and diagnostic check all is good. Topped off fluids and replaced worn windshield wipers. They treat you like family. Love them

  • Justin G

Ask for Justin, he is one of the few Mechanics who still services classic Datsun 240z's and turbo Subaru's. He is also experienced with European luxury vehicles, and Japanese/Domestic vehicles and is a race mechanic/race driver.

  • Karen Cassedy

Andrew is a pleasure to work with. They did a great job and I would be happy to send others to Pettey's! Very professional and they do what needs to be done...no pressure at all. A pleasant experience all around. Thank you!!

  • Michael Novick

What a good feeling when your mechanic; runs a check-engine-light-diagnostic, reads you the code, runs back for some lubricant to add to your (my) gas cap, and solves the problem! All for no charge too. Thanks! -Mike

  • Kurt Roesener

I have been taking my various autos to Pettey's for almost 20 years, since I moved to RB and they are very thorough! Estimates are actuate and their communication is always professional. Here's to another 20 years.

  • Veekan

Found this place when I was fed up with taking my car to the dealership. Always got top-notch service here with no-nonsense work and billing. Great little place hidden away in the back, but highly recommended!

  • Debbie Nolan

This small auto service shop should not be overlooked! While small, it does an excellent job of exceeding expectations in the service they perform. I highly recommend Pettey's for all your auto needs!

  • R Luck

Andrew made my account without asking for permission and gave an estimate for repair without looking at the car and asked me to pay. Professional on phone but bad service in person. Would not go back

  • Douglas Jordan

Andrew has provided more than two years of terrific support and service to my aging 1999 Toyota Camry. He offers solution at reasonable prices and is quick to complete the work.

  • Stacey Buchholtz

Andrew is the best!! We are able to make our older cars last and have learned how many recommended services and charges are unnecessary at the dealership service center.

  • Yuki Yoshida

My truck has lasted 280K+ miles and is still going strong, all thanks to Pettey's Auto. I can always trust them and recommend my friends to go there.
