Nayarit Auto Service - Santa Ana (CA)

Eagles Fly Alone This is a good man working here. I was totally stuck across the road, locked outside my car by accident, with the keys inside. I was in a desperate situation. I saw his garage across the road, was embarrassed, but walked inside asking the gentleman for help. He kindly stopped what he was doing, came out across the road, and managed to open the car for me! A HUGE relief, and saving me a fortune and inconvenience. I offered payment, but he said there was no need, and he did it out of his good grace. I was so grateful for that. I am not from LA, but if I were, I would take my car to this man, he is a good person. Thank you for helping me last week. I really appreciated that. All the best to you sir. I implore others to take your car here to support this business. I repeat...he is a really good person!

Vinh N. Highly recommend this shop. I had a CEL pop up right before I had to ship my car overseas. Mike quickly diagnosed the problem and updated the software on my car. Now my car drives so much smoother. Professional, honest, reliable, and fair pricing. What more could you ask for.

Jack Cieniewicz Proper diagnostics led to a repairing a smog problem other shops couldnt figure out and fix. Ace has a service pit, so they were able to work on my RV without having to lift it.

Randy Cox The staff here went above any standard of care! I mentioned to the technician that I rarely drive my vehicle and I had recently let the battery completely run down. He stated that I needed to drive it around to reset a computer. He was so patient and instructive. After 4 attempts (with staff hooking up a device each time at no charge), it worked! I am so happy with this place and highly recommend it.

Glassbraker One of the few open later than 6pm, we broke 2 tire studs on our way to vacation, pepboys was full untill tomorrow evening, we came to this place and both studs were fixed in less than 20 minutes, mechanic was very friendly, the only complaint I have is I wish he hung the break caliper instead of just letting it dangle, but honestly he did a good job, a fast job, and he charged us less than what pepboys quoted us for.

Ariana Hernandez Excellent service and great staff! I would recommend to anyone in need of assistance with their vehicle.

Shane Burgos-Adair Great service and really affordable. They are honest about what you need and dont try to upsell you like other smaller shops.

Ansar Khan John is amazing! Very honest and very reasonable. Did my transmission and brakes on my car. I’ll be using him and recommending him to others as well.
