Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
I've been to Billy multiple times already for both of my vehicles. He is very fair and always does an excellent job. It is hard to find honest, good, hardworking mechanics out there, and Billy is definitely one of those hidden gems.
God knows I have been cheated enough times by mechanic shops to know better not to trust any more. But finding a shop as genuine as South County Brakes & More is truly a refreshing experience for me. Too many places rely on deception to keep their doors open, sacrificing integrity for profit. Yet, I firmly believe that when a business puts its customers first, rewards inevitably follow. You can set aside your worries about being misled or pressured into unnecessary services with Billy. He embodies an honest, down-to-earth attitude that sets the tone for his commitment to fairness, which is matched by reasonable pricing. Honestly, with services like his, I’d gladly pay a little extra and still leave with a smile. Billy is a shining example of how a business thrives through honest work and ethical practices, proving that success and integrity can go hand in hand. As I am writing this review while waiting in his shop, I notice this is the reason why finding an honest shop like Billy’s South County Brakes & More is such a breath of fresh air. Here, you don’t have to worry about being taken advantage of or upsold on unnecessary repairs.
Billy and his team are my go to for all of my car work. Completely transparent and honest, he always works with me and explains each step in whatever process my vehicle is undergoing, keeping me up to date and in the know regarding what he finds. I have had other mechanics tell me my car needed some massive job, and when taken to Billy, he tells me with a laugh that they are wrong, saving me time and money. In this day in age it is a place of rare trust and integrity that I am lucky to be able to access. Thanks to Billy and South County Brakes! Recently they have been helping supe up my 2022 mx-5 with coilovers, swaybars and new rims/tires and it has been a dream come true!
Looking to have your brakes done?! Look no further, Billy and his team at South County Brakes are the folks for the job. From the initial phone call to inquire about having brakes done to the moment I left, Billy shows hospitality, integrity and professionalism at a caliber far beyond the competition. He is not looking to pull a fast one on his new customers to make a dollar, he acts as an owner should and takes his business seriously and built rapport during every interaction that will have me returning and recommending his shop to friends and family. You will not be disappointed and like me will have the confidence throughout the process that you will be a returning customer time and time again. Thank you again Billy & Team keep up the phenomenal work!
Billy is the best. Took my cars to him for brakes back when he was in Laguna Niguel. He has since moved to Irvine and expanded his business. It’s nice to find an honest mechanic and support him.
