Illustrious Automotive Repair

I have been dealing with Noe for many years. He never let's me down and always takes care of me and my vehicles. One of the last honest mechanics out there.

Noe is one of the greatest mechanics we’ve known very honest and helpful. He is a great person.

I met Noe back in the early 2000s when he worked at the Firestone outlet in Costa Mesa. As a mechanic, I always found him to be honest and dependable. I trusted him with my cars and felt confident in his abilities. Fast forward to 2024, I purchased an original 1984 SS Monte Carlo that needed some repairs. I searched all over Orange County in California for an auto shop that specialized in working on G Bodies, but couldn't find one. All the shops I came across only took newer cars or those manufactured in 1977 or earlier, citing emissions regulations. Then, I remembered that Noe had his own shop called Illustrious Automotive Repair, located in Riverside, CA. I found out about it through a friend. I decided to take a chance and drove from Orange County to Riverside, hoping that Noe could help me out. Noe had my car for only three days, during which he identified all the faults and fixed everything that was wrong. He rebuilt my AC compressor, installed a new radiator, replaced the valve cover, tuned the engine, replaced the distributor, and replaced the center link and idler arm for an alignment. Noe had my car running smoothly in no time. I highly recommend Illustrious Automotive Repair and Noe for all your automotive needs, whether you have an old car or a new one. They are honest and reasonably priced. I was so pleased with their service that I even gave them a $300 tip. I won't take any of my classic cars anywhere else.

Noe is a very knowledgeable mechanic! HIGHLY recommended! He solved a 6yr old mystery with my older pickup that 4 other mechanics and several thousand dollars previously failed to fix. Extremely efficient and reasonable on diagnostics! Super nice guy, knows his stuff and doesn't mind teaching you which is rare and hard to find! Nice to finally find a mechanic that is knowledgeable and trustworthy!
