Great friendly service and affordable too.

I’m new in town and I heard good things about this auto shop. So I stopped by and met Vince. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. After speaking to him and finding out prices on different repairs” I have no doubt when I need auto service. This is a place I’ll be coming. Thank you Vince. 👍🏻

Found this place while looking around for a solution to an electrical issue I had on my 2016 Camry that shut off while driving and would no longer turn on. I changed both battery and alternator. They ran a diagnostic test and turned out it was a bad body control module and they were able to fix the issue for a reasonable cost the same day. This place has good honest workers and my new go-to mom & pop shop. Thanks for the help!

I Brought my 1995 camero into Vinces so he could repair the mess a friends mechanic did to my car. My car was repaired in 3 hours and runs like a DREAM!! I have now found my best mechanic for all my repairs. Quality work at excellent prices! It was my lucky day when I found Vince's Auto Repair.


Feb 06, 2024

Vince has has serviced my van twice in a years span fixing my alternator, and has had the repair done same day at below market value prices compared to most auto repair shops, he is my mechanic if I break down in the riverside area

Vince is so kind and honest, most mechanics take advantage of women and say all kinds of stuff is wrong with the car. Not Vince, he comes out with his engine reader and tells the truth. Thank you Vince💕

Vince is the man. Had my cars thermostat go out. Was able to limp it to his shop. He hooked me up with a ride to my work and picked me up when he was done. My thermostat wasn't available as my motor was from Japan. But he was still able to modify the thermostat open so I could get the car home about 45 minutes away. There, I can get the correct part and install it myself.


Feb 06, 2024

I was having battery issues, so I assumed it was a bad alternator. I left my car at the shop just in time before the shop closed. Vince ended up giving me a call later that night that the truck was ready. Vince was professional, quick and very transparent and honest with pricing and what he did. I would definitely recommend you to bring your vehicles at Vince’s Auto Repair.

Exceptional performance and quality work. Fair and reasonable prices. An exceptional mechanic with great knowledge. A very nice individual...a class act in all respects.. this is the guy to go to....ABSOLUTELY


Feb 06, 2023

He is honest and is a great mechanic. Highly recommend him. Got referred to him and now I will do the same.


Feb 06, 2023

This guy just saved me like $500 bucks I was about to buy something I didn’t need at another store and when I called for a price check he offered to look more in depth at the problem. He took the time to give me a real diagnostic and gave me an honest update as to what I should do. Will definitely be back when I need more work done.


Feb 06, 2023

Was very satisfied with the work and Repair on my Brakes would Recommend his Services to anyone


Feb 06, 2022

Came out on such a short notice and not only was the service extremely fast but he was also very nice and did everything while I sat in the car. Needed a piece bolted back on because it was scraping while i was driving. So happy to have come here and I’ll definitely recommend this place to any others.

Got my toyota truck towed in on Friday morning and got my truck back Saturday evening , it was a fuel pump issue. Fast , reliable, all of the above in my book . Vince will be at the top of my list for my mechanic work I need and will recommend forsure . Im very supper impressed. THANK YOU VINCE'S AUTO REPAIR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I spent all of today going from auto shop to auto shop trying to figure out how to remove an abs exciter from the back of my rotor so I could replace the studs. I thought that it was machine pressed to the back of the rotor and every mechanic shop I went to said they had no idea how to take it off for me. I ended up getting referred to Vince by a guy at a tire shop in riverside and upon arriving to his place, he showed me how to do it by tapping out the lugs from the front of the rotor which pushed the excited right off. Problem solved and he didn’t even charge me. Nice guy, great service, and I’ll definitely be coming back here. Thanks for the knowledge Vince.


Feb 06, 2022

Vince is a life saver. brought my truck in because low engine oil pressure light was on. not only did Vince diagnose problem same day he also fixed problem same day. would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good honest mechanic.


Feb 06, 2022

We have patronized Vince auto for a few years now. Vince keeps all of our cars in great running condition. He’s fast and efficient. Check him out for all of your car repairs and maintenance.


Feb 06, 2022

Great service, very helpful! Helped me find the correct part for my car! Originally had been sold the incorrect part, he called around and quickly helped me get the correct one. I was going to call for a ride to get it, but he let me use one of his vehicles instead! Highly recommended!

Excellent service and trustworthy! I will be back there with my 2nd car soon... 👍👍

The ignition on my Chevy Truck got punched during an attempted car theft. I was referred to Vince's Auto Service by a family member who will now no longer be taking his vehicles to Vince's. I had my truck towed to his shop and provided him with a new ignition cylinder. After a week with no word from Vince, I called him at which time he stated that the ignition housing had been internally damaged also and he would order a new one. A week later with no word, I called him back. He stated that he had installed the casing, ignition, and door handle, and all he needed to do was re-boot the computer. Another few days went by when I called him and he said he was having another guy come to the shop to program the computer as he could'nt. When I called him again, he told me I had to have my truck towed to the Chevy Dealership to program as he could'nt do it. So he charged me 310.00 for supposidly replacing the ignition casing, ignition Cylinder, and plastic door handle. So as the mechanic at the Chevy Dealership was attempting to program the computer, he noticed that the ignition casing was completely mangled which was ultimately learned that it was never replaced. So now I'm out 750.00 at dealership and 310.00 at Vince's. When I told Vince what happened he blamed it on the guy who supposidly he had try to program the computer. When I asked Vince for the receipt for the casing, he just covered it up by offering me 160.00 which I later received. So he said he replaced the ignition casing which he lied, the door handle looks used, and he was basically hoping that once he put the plastic back around the ignition housing, I would'nt even know until who knows when. When you talk to him he is easy to like, but I really feel for all the people he has lied to as to what kind of work and/or B/O parts he replaced to ultimately put more money in his pocket. This will be reported to the BBB as this is a person's/families worst nightmere from a machanic.

Vince is the man. Car died out and had it towed there. He was able to fix it in one day And stayed later than he normally closes to help me out. I highly recommend this guy.. finding a good, honest, mechanic is a gem, especially with great prices. I found me a mechanic for life!


Feb 06, 2021

Vince serviced my car and was so relieved to find a awesome mechanic. I'm a single senior and was treated so kind by Vince. Had someone try to fix car before Vince and was left with same problem engine light on. Vinci's auto repair is my go to now on. Thank you so much.


Feb 06, 2021

vince and his business have being helping me and my cars for the last years, so far he is basically like no ordinary mechanic he does above and beyond, usually in my case because i have kids i drop my car into his shop he drove me to my house he does the service and he drives the car back to my house just like that, and that is way beyond customer apreciation, his prices are fair and affordable he takes credit, cash, debit parking is accesible has restroom, waiting area and location is just almost next to the freeway so far he knows japanesse cars, luxury cars like Infiniti, lexus and domestic as well, definitely will recommend vince to anyone!!


Feb 06, 2020

Honest 5 star rating for Vince's service...went to replace some bi-xenon replacement bulbs I had purchased and Vince said he'd take about 1 1/2 hrs to do....surprise...he finished it in 15 min...showes he has the proper tools and knowledge, good work!!!...fair pricing too.

Went in for a axle change, Vince was professional and polite! He did the job quickly and explained what issue my car had. The fastest and cleanest axle change I've ever seen. Highly recommended!
