I have been going for oil and tires changes for couple years. I love the place, the owner Jim is always so friendly to me and my family. The mechanics are professional. Highly recommended this place to anyone.

Great shop! Jim and Robert were honest and good humored as they helped me with a car that had a lot of issues. They gave me solid advice and the work was prompt and reasonable. Thanks Otwell's, I'll be back!

I used to go here all the time, but I stopped going after they changed my oil and I found the oil fill cap sitting in the corner of my engine compartment several days later. I was lucky I didn't have oil splattered all over. I've heard stories of that happening when the cap was left off.

Highly recommend this mechanic shop, I worked for a shop myself and respect the Integrity and professionalism of this place . Best service I had in years!!

Worst service ever! Messed up my car and did not take accountability. I called just to ask if he could recheck the problem and he started screaming at me that he did nothing to my car. Then said he told me he was fixing something that HE DID NOT TELL ME about. I took my car for one simple thing but left with something additional messing up. He goes on to say, “I told you I was fixing this too.”Which he did not, because if he did, I would’ve told him that that has been broken on my car since the day I purchased it 5 years ago. I simply called being nice just to see if he could look at it again and would have paid if anything else was wrong, but apparently he knew he was guilty because he immediately started denying something I didn’t even accuse him of. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and was yelling at me from the top of his lungs! I am a woman. This was not called for. I wanted to take my car to the same person to avoid being scammed but apparently Jim is the scammer. Very poor business. To avoid any problems go elsewhere.

Bad business they change and look at different parts even if thats not what you wanted. Gave me bad parts for something i didnt even need . Shady!


Feb 07, 2024

Great people top, work quality, will try to help with what's best for your choice of service.


Feb 07, 2024

Great service!! Will be back for sure!

I work about a mile from here. When I got off work, I noticed my undercarriage splash guard was dragging on the floor. I was scared to drive on the freeway with it dragging. It was about 5pm, every auto shop in the area was closing and I desperately went in after visiting 3 other places, and they were able to help me out. They pinned the dragging piece and replaced the plastic screws at no charge. The technician (tall, slender, caucasian man) noticed my tire pressure light was on and took the initiative to put air. Extremely kind and compassionate staff. I opted to tip him due to the service and level of professionalism in my time of desperation.

Was calling around to ask for quotes about a broken wheel stud/lug nut. When I went to call this business and ask how much the repair would cost the owner responded “I don’t know however long it takes me.” Super unprofessional, thank god I called first before wasting my time here.


Feb 07, 2024

Went in and nicely asked if they can take a look at a leak on my car. The man who was sitting in his chair not doing anything said he probably doesn’t have time to take a look today. Said to come back Monday. I went to another place and all I had to do was pop my hood and right away they told me what was wrong. I just think when you go to a mechanic the least they can is take a look. I would have 100% had them fix it if they had taken a look.


Feb 07, 2023

Best mechanic I've ever had. Been a customer over 7 years, feels like family.


Feb 07, 2023

Dependable, reasonable and friendly....


Feb 07, 2023

Solved my problem in a couple of hours, check engine light gone, Temperature no longer too high to drive. Jim is very friendly and helpful, waiting for me after business hours to pick up my Honda! Thanks a lot!


Feb 07, 2022

Friendly and professional. Wouldn't take my business anywhere else.


Feb 07, 2022

Had some work done on my volvo. I am really happy they got the work done fast and efficient.


Feb 07, 2022

I reached out to a performance shop looking to upgrade my suspension system on my ‘06 Crown Vic LX. They recommended that I contact Otwell’s so I did. Jim Otwell to the time to research the parts and make recommendations on how to improve the suspension for my application. He did the work and I couldn’t be happier with the results!! I will be returning for additional work on my car!!


Feb 07, 2022

Job well done at a reasonable price and completed in a timely manner. I'll return for any services needed on my autos.


Feb 07, 2022

Love this place always. Good customer service and always feel welcomed. And robert is a stright to the point kinda guy. If u need service check them out. Highly recommended


Feb 07, 2022

Talked with Mike. Got the best quote and best quality. Nice clean work area. Great customer service and friendly. They did my oil change fast. I am overall very satisfied and happy that I came here. I will be returning in future and will highly recommend to friends and family. Ask for Mike. Thank you so much -Angela

Thanks for getting us home by Easter! Jim has been our go to for auto repairs for three generations. Never had a problem and he's very honest.


Feb 07, 2022

There great been going here for years.


Feb 07, 2022

Be aware it seems like the owner of this company has a chip on his shoulder from the minute I walked in. I was just asking him some simple questions about my car and he was very vague and unfriendly to say the least. I have a feeling he was trying to rip me off and get his foot in the door by getting my car in there and getting a signature right away and blowing me off I would never use this company. Do your homework before you sign on the dotted line on this one.


Feb 07, 2022

Friendly staff, quality service. Will keep coming back for services and oil changes.


Feb 07, 2022

The customer service was great, and the owner and employee's were very friendly. Plus all the Batman memorabilia is very cool


Feb 07, 2022

Very good customer service an auto repair service


Feb 07, 2021

Honestly, the worst experience I have ever had from any mechanic. Extremely unprofessional. Jim the owner is a complete scam artist...he will not back his work one bit. As soon as I pulled off the lot my truck broke down again. They told me to take it to the dealer..so I did and I ended up having to replace everything Otwell’s did so I went back to Otwell’s trying to get back at least my parts money because Otwell’s did not follow the correct procedure for fixing my truck..Jim would not back his work even though the problem was plain as day and it was his fault..do not go to this place...I’ve never experienced someone not backing the warranty. If I could give it zero stars I would..


Feb 07, 2021

Mr.Jim is honest and has integrity. It's fixed right the first time and in the off chance it's not, just call him and he will fix it! Ottwells is the only shop I'll let work on my vehicles besides myself. I'm not going anywhere else!


Feb 07, 2021

Polite and friendly. Mechanic cleaned up so didn't get any oil drops on driveway nor garage floor.
