Fair prices, solid work, and excellent communication. Daniel and his team have consistently been professional, honest, and reliable. Over the past few years, I’ve brought four different vehicles to this shop for a wide range of repairs—from electrical to brakes to A/C and more—and each time they’ve delivered fast, fair service. They stand by their work and they’re good for their word. Highly recommended.
I brought my car to Niguel Auto Service on Friday, February 6, 2026, for brakes, spark plugs, and an oil change. Immediately after picking it up, the check engine light came on for the first time. I notified Daniel, and their technician ran a diagnostic, suggesting a “leak” and that I return Monday. I expressed suspicion that the check engine light appeared immediately after service. Daniel said it was just a coincidence, but I did not trust his explanation. Instead, I took my car to the dealership. They found the cause of the leak/check engine light - a split vacuum tube to the wastegate sensor and a broken turbo inlet tube fitting, both COVERED IN GLUE (photos attached). This is not a manufacturer-approved repair and could have led to further engine or turbo damage. I had to pay the dealership $2,444.47 to fix it. I informed Daniel of the dealership’s findings. I told him I was confident the damage occurred during his service and that he should pay for the repair. He denied responsibility but ultimately reimbursed me ONLY AFTER I threatened legal action. I strongly advise anyone to stay away from Niguel Auto Service. Their work on my vehicle was unsafe and not up to manufacturer standards. I am shocked at how they conduct business, and anyone seeking honest and reliable auto service should look elsewhere. *In response to their reply: They’re still claiming it was a coincidence that my check engine light came on right after their work.... The first time in 9 years, occurring the same day they worked on it? I didn’t bring the car back because it didn’t feel safe to drive and I wasn’t going to risk further damage - especially when I believe they caused the issue. The epoxy in the photo also looks fresh and new to me. They also stated the reimbursement was out of ‘goodheartedness,’ which I find difficult to reconcile with a $2,500 reimbursement if there was no responsibility.
Service Manager Daniel gave me a competitive price for the CV Axel replacement including labor, and Master Mechanic Gustavo did a thorough inspection afterwards. We assumed there would be a need for a wheel alignment, as is most often the case with axel replacements, but my car only needed the smallest of adjustments, and because of that, Daniel removed the cost of the alignment from my bill! While saving money for the needed repair, I had taken my car to another shop in the process of gathering quotes, and several needed repairs were listed. After Gustavo did a complete inspection, he determined that the repairs were not imperative, and that I was good for another 25k miles! For someone living on a fixed income, this was a gift from the car gods! Daniel and Gustavo gave me piece of mind, which is worth any price, and they did it simply by being men with integrity and honor. The service this pristine shop provides is honest, ethical and transparent. I have found my cars' " happy place" and I highly recommend you visit Daniel and Gustavo too! Thank you gentlemen 🫡
Niguel Auto Service has honestly been such a refreshing experience compared to other shops in the area. Daniel is one of the most genuine people you’ll meet honest, trustworthy, and someone who truly cares about both you and your car. It’s so hard to find a shop these days that you can actually trust. Thank you, Daniel, for all the oil changes, the amazing brake job, and for fixing my front parking sensor I can drive in peace now 😂 Truly appreciate you guys so much. Customer for life right here!
Niguel Auto's owner Daniel was friendly and was upfront about quoting the cost of the repair. Niguel Auto fixed my Audi's A/C quickly and everything works as good as new. I'll be bringing all of my cars here in the future.
