When friends asks me to recommend a mechanic, I always send them to Ayers Automotive Repairs. Robert Ayers and his whole team have consistently provided me with outstanding service and shown me they really stand behind their warranty. They always take the time to explain things in as much (or as little) detail as I want. I recently brought a vehicle in for a clutch pedal replacement. They gave me a very competitive estimate and still managed to finish below the estimated costs. Thanks Ayers!

This guy is a swindler. Work is OK but he’s kind of a dick to his customers and his employees. Will try to trick you and scare you into paying him money for extra inspections. Find an honest mechanic. I recommend Kiwis auto or go to Buellton for diesel repair.

Great service. Nice people and even received a follow up on service I received. Plus great thing they provide a concierge pick up and drop off service as well. A bit more expensive (is why the 4 stars) but with this customer service I didn't mind too much.

Going to Ayers automotive was a huge mistake. I brought my 67 mustang into the shop because it started to overheat while driving. After looking under the hood and seeing lots of steam and water, I decided it was probably one of the radiator hoses, as the radiator was only 9 months old and had never overheated. (Side note, I built this car with my father who was a mechanic.) I explained the issue to the shop and they said, “No problem, we will take a look and fix the car”. I received a $300 estimate for the services. I called later that day and they began to explain that I needed a new radiator, multiple hoses, intake manifold removed, gaskets, thermostat housing and a cooling system overhaul, and they would begin immediately. Puzzled by the overwhelming diagnosis, and learning the $300 would be for the “inspection,” not to fix the car, I decided I didn’t trust the shop nor the people working there and would have the car picked up and towed to my garage. The owner called me and suggested we try and work it out. I agreed, in good faith, and said repair any hoses that are leaking. I’ll pay for that work plus the inspection. He then said, “I can't get to it today or tomorrow, but will let you know on Monday.” THIS IS MORALLY WRONG AND DISHONEST. They can begin work immediately when they think it’s a big job and lots of money, but when it’s a quick fix they need two and a half days to get back to me. I had my car towed to my garage, and after work opened the hood to truly inspect the car. What had been said to be thousands of dollars to fix turned out to be $15.36 at O'Reilly's Auto parts, and a flat screw driver. Luckily, I've worked on a few cars. However, if you DON'T know cars, I highly advise against taking your car here. These people are clearly accustomed to taking advantage of people who have little or no experience under a hood. I'm disappointed that I have to write this review, but feel that it is in the best interest of the customer, especially given that they are playing ads on the radio giving people the impression that they are a business with integrity. Best of luck.
