I've been coming here for years to get my car smogged. This time my car didn't pass but they took the time to explain the issues in a way I could understand. They did the repairs and my car passed. Great customer service. I would recommend them to my family and friends.

My car broke down on a business trip to Orange County and it was towed here by AAA. I arrived shortly before they closed but the young man there recommended a car rental service and waited until my ride got there to make sure I was taken care of. I returned to the shop on my way back home the following Monday and my car was ready. I appreciate them going above and beyond to help out a stranded traveler!

I've been going to Tulare Automotive for about 2 years; and after every service, I leave with a feeling of total satisfaction. Their quality of service is excellent --ranging from how they treat you a soon as you enter the office to the actual work they perform on your vehicle. There are very few places you can go these days--for car service--where you can TOTALLY trust the staff and mechanics. Tulare Automotive Repair is that kind of place. A family-run business, they (a special shout out to Alfonso and Moses!) make you feel like you're part of the family. I am indeed very blessed to have met them; so to each and every member of Tulare Automotive Repair, I express a most enthusiastic, grateful and heart-felt "MUCHAS GRACIAS!"

Al is a really good mechanic. He communicated well with me about the problems my car was having. He fixed the problem and was very honest about it. I recommend Tulare Automative Repair, as a woman I don't want to feel like Im being taken advantage of when it comes to my car. Immediately, he assured me he wasn't going to charge me for something that was beyond repairable. He was going to make sure it was worth it to fix it first. Great customer service and gets the job done.

Was referred to Tulare automotive to replace my valve cover and gasket on my bmw and they didn't disappoint normally never take my car too any shop but bmw. I've called plenty of shops and checked them out on google but never took my car due to me not having full trust or confidence in those shops but these guys just gained a new customer. They had my car done in a day and even upgraded my valve cover from plastic to aluminum cover the staff were excellent in helping me feel comfortable and confident in them and the pricing was by far the best. So thank you Tulare Automotive this will be my go to shop from now on.

Took a used car here to have them do a pre-purchase check. Price was very reasonable for all that they tested. The dealership had detailed the car like new and it test drove nicely. We were almost ready to buy. However, Tulare Auto found a potentially significant issue in the diagnostic code history. Also found the rear shocks were shot, valve cover leak, and serpentine belt needed replacing. The dealership wouldn't make any accomodations so we didn't buy the car. Thanks to Brent for saving us potentially major issues and expenses.

SOME OF THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED!!! I brought my 2013 Ford Flex in from Nevada to switch over to California tags and plates. I needed a smog check and some catalytic converters installed. I was able to get 2/3 installed no problem. The last one had to be hunted down, Brent did some outstanding searching for that last part and found it. I went to pick it up and they had it finished in a day. I don't think they have a formal "MILITARY DISCOUNT" but since it racked up so quickly the owner was cool and gave me a bit of a break. All together this place is a top notch shop and should definetly be considered for your auto needs. I plan on going back in the future to have some after market exhaust put on as well.

True Story! My Kia Optima hybrid died completely no power what so ever! I had it towed to Visalia Kia to be told their is 1 month wait to get my car back! Who is supposed to be okay without having their car for a whole month! So I was completely devastated. I felt helpless after contacting multiple shops none of them said they worked on hybrids. I called Tulare Automotive and spoke with Brent. Had my car towed on Thursday to their shop and fixed by Friday and they charged me way less than the dealership has in the past! I will be taking my car their moving forward for any repairs. They are my heros!

Excellent, qualified, knowledgeable, friendly service. They took good care of me, did an excellent job on my BMW and repaired what three others could not, plus, they hooked me up with my smog check. They were fair with their pricing, didn't try to gouge me as a female and explained anything I wasn't sure of. Definitely going back if I ever need anything done to my car and highly recommend them; Tulare Automotive Repair are my new friends.

I drove my car from out of town unable to find a Reliable Honest Mechanic in Visalia. Tulare Automotive had great reviews and I'm here to confirm that my experience was the same!

I was visiting my mother who lives down the street and saw the sign. I always see cars being serviced here but never really paid attention thinking they only did breaks and muffler services. I called and was thrilled they have oil change service. I was a walk in and told it would be a while but I wasn't in a rush. Mr Brent helped me upon my 12pmish arrival but I didn't catch the names of the gentleman who helped me about 4pm and one of the other mechanics. We walked in a a gentleman was on the phone so we had to wait for him to acknowledge us and others when he was ready and after about 5 min or so, then the mechanic assisted me with my payment and gave me some helpful info. Then the gentleman was off the phone and he was friendly and re explained some things but otherwise told me that my vehicle was in good condition. Thankfully, I my mom lives near and we could see that my car was sitting outside in a different area so I knew it was done, but nobody called me, so we walked over. I usually get my synthetic oil change in San Diego from Ford because I have a coupon for $49 so with all the fees it's about $65, but since I been visiting the past month here I fished out about $89 and can't really complain because I got what I needed and had a good experience. Just wished they rotate the for that price. I feel as if the staffs are honest, professional and helpful. Told my sister to bring her cars here along with my mom. Also gave them 5 stars on Yelp and had to put them on the map. On Yelp they are still an unclaimed business. To all the staffs, thank you for all that you do and continue to be safe. God bless.

Smog



reviewicon
04/02/2021

I was told by a Visalia transmission shop that my clutch needed to be replaced, but they couldn't get to it until next week. I called two other shops (in Tulare) who told me they were booked until next week, as well. I saw Tulare Automotive Repair had 4.8 star rating, so I thought I would call them as I have previously used them for smog checks. They told me I could bring my vehicle in right away, which was around 11:30am. While I waited, he took my vehicle on test drive, invited me to go with him to assure he was hearing the same problem I was trying to explain, and gave me an estimate for the repairs. The problem turned out to be the fan clutch. He ordered the part, installed it, and did a smog check, and my vehicle was ready by 4:30pm the same day. Tulare Automotive Repair is not like one of those shops that I like to refer to as "white shirts" - the ones where you walk in the front door and someone in a white shirt (with no grease on it or on their hands) greets you. Tulare Automotive Repair was knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and had the repairs completed the same day as promised. They have earned a repeat customer when I need repair work in the future.

I brought my truck in for brake repair. They were straight with me on cost, potential issues and time frame. They held up what they said they would do even going a little bit extra with potential future repairs that may need to be done. My truck has a little bit over 160,000 miles and my brakes react like the day I drove it off the lot. Don't forget to tip your tech

Great service, friendly, good prices, and on time. We came in with faulty brakes on a late Saturday morning (with them closing at 12:30 pm that day I believe), and they gladly took the car in to fix even if it went past their regularly closed time. Since we were visiting from out of town, they offered to pick us up from our hotel once the car was done so we wouldn't have to walk in the summer heat. Definitely recommend their services!

I have a 2001 saturn sc2 i love my little car... I took my car here because it wouldnt pass smog because of an secondary air flow issue and catalyst problem... These guys were nice took time to talk and made me feel comfortable leaving my car. They had my car for two days because a part i needed was dealer only. He saved me a 1000 ? because my catalyst was still good and it was one part in the secondary that was bad. They even noticed that my motor mounts were bad and recommended that i fixed them so the shaking wouldnt cause anymore problems. When i got my car back i kid u not it runs so smooth like a brand new car all over again and it passed smog. The prices where great and affordable. From now one this is were im going.

What can I say? Alphonso and Brent did another outstanding job fixing my 08 Toyota FJ Cruiser! A few months ago it was the water pump (probably the original one) that needed replacing. This time it was the head gasket which, on this car, was a LONG process. Very labor intensive that requires more than a few days to correct. 300 miles driven since the repair and will get taken back in for a fresh oil change at 500 miles. If you want quality repairs and competitive labor rates from certified technicians, go see these guy!

I was driving from LA to Stockton this past Friday (Dec. 8th) when part of my exhaust snapped where it connects near the engine. I rolled in about 4:30, just a half hour before the shop closed expecting only to figure out what the problem was. However the two employees were adamant they could get me back on the road. They explained my problem to me clearly (me not having any mechanical know-how), and got me out within half an hour. The service was amazing, staff was friendly, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We were travelling from California to Washington when we broke down in Tulare, CA, just after 12:00. While waiting for tow service, I started calling shops to see who could at least look and diagnose the problem that day. Tulare Auto Repair was the first shop willing to look at the truck and diagnose the issue that day. They did just that and ordered parts for work to be done the following morning. Complications occurred the next day and further parts ordered for completion of repairs the next day. Work was completed morning of the second day, and we were back on the road to Washington. The shop worked very hard to get us back on the road as soon as possible. At all times the staff was courteous and helpful. We felt we were working with people we could trust. We are very happy with the service we received and the work that was done. Hopefully we won't break down in Tulare again, but if we do I know right where to go. I would happily utilize Tulare Auto Repair again, and I highly recommend them to anyone local who is in need of quality auto repair with a quality experience.
