For many years I have been a customer of ACA Automotive in Long Beach. I have referred my family and friends to ACA and they love the service and honesty. I live in Orange County and many of my friends have traveled to Long Beach for service. I submit this recommendation with sincerity. Jon Wallin

I brought an old utility truck (not worth $1500) in for an oil change and to check out a leak. They came back with over $2000 worth of repairs. I laughed and had them fix the leak ($300). I took the truck home and coincidentally my truck did not start the next morning because my alternator mysteriously went out. Under warranty, they towed it back to the shop and said that it would cost me another $450. My choices were to donate it or have them fix it, which is what I chose. But even more insulting, they tried to sell me up again with another $1200 of new and additional repairs.

Funny thing is that the truck was running fine when I pullled into the shop for the oil change. My problem with their conduct was that they knew the truck was not worth much, but they continued to look me in the eye and tell me that I should get the proposed repairs because of how nice my truck was. Their persistent sell-up tactic is annoying and insulting.

This place rocks! Ive been going here for a long time and theyve always helped me out. Theyre service is exceptional, do quality work, are competent, honest and fair. Ive always worked on my own cars, but dont have the time anymore so I can tell when someone knows what tey are talking about! Ive tried a couple other shops in the long beach area and they all tried to BS about repairs that are "needed". I know how hard it is to find a good mechanic and know that once you have one you need to keep them. i would highly recommend them to anyone needed repair.

How often do I get what I ask for? Not often enough!
However, at ACA Automotive I have received the service that was promised plus more! More in the expedient turnaround time, more in the quality advice received, more in the excellent customer service!
They run a business model that other shop should follow.
Thank you ACA!

I live in Lakewood and always take my car to ACA because of the friendly environment and great work they do on my cars. They are the only automotive place in the area who offers a complementary shuttle service which makes it very convenient since it is always hard to find a ride. Most of the time I just get my oil done but they have also rebuild the engine on my classic car, they do amazing work.
