5-Star Review by Tuan Munn

I took my 1994 Toyota Camry to Hubert because the dealer and 2 other mechanics couldn't find out why my Camry was shutting off while I was driving. He took his time diagnosed with the problem and fixed my Camry. Now my Camry drives like it was brand new thanks to Hubert. If you're looking for an honest to goodness mechanic, you don't have to look far he's at South Bay Car Care....

5-Star Review by Marti Pike

Update!  Hubert has retired.  There is a new guy now.  It will be a week before he can service my car. Southbay Car Care has always gone the extra mile (and sometimes more!) for me. This is true regardless of whether the car is in for regular maintenance or to have problems fixed.  It is very reassuring to have someone I trust taking care of my car.

5-Star Review by Thomas Chung

This team is very competent.  I had my Jeep Grand Cherokee at the dealership to fix a intermittent engine light that kept coming on.  Jeep dealer said, I need new engine. These guys found that my cam position sensor was cracked and oil was getting into it causing the engine light due to a short. Also, praise God!  I also did pray they would find the problem and fix it. Hallelujah!
