A 1 Automotive

I started coming here in 2013. Before I moved from Tehachapi I was having problems with the AC in my Mitsubishi Lancer. After taking it to multiple auto repair shops in Tehachapi, I finally had A1 recommended to me. I've had the absolute worst luck with mechanics in the past, but after meeting Adam, Karen, and Tanner I will never go anywhere else. My husband and I have taken multiple cars to Adam for multiple reasons and he is amazing, always ready to help and give to you straight. I don't know what we would ever do if we didnt have them. I pretty much feel like there my family because they've helped us so much.

Took my truck in with an idea of the problem, they did a diagnosis and replaced my spark plugs and a coil in record time! The Lady at the front desk was so kind and friendly to my son and I as we waited. The work and service are top level. Thank you for being so kind and getting everything fixed in such a short period of time.

We've been bringing our vehicles here for years now. They have always been friendly and informative about our car issues and their turnarounds have been pretty quick. We will continue coming here.

Very pleased with our experience with A-1! Brought our car here, it was in need of some mechanical repairs, not much, but they needed to be done in order to pass smog. Made the mistake of taking it to one of those smog places by the DMV first, and was quoted an outrageous amount and didn't really leave feeling all warm and fuzzy. Brought the car to A-1, and after the first 2 minutes of talking to the owner Tanner, we knew this was the right place. He was very knowledgeable, explained what was going on with the car, why it wasn't passing smog, and after that, we felt very confident in leaving our car here. We pretty much decided that even if his quote came in at the same price as the other, we were more confident in their knowledge and ability and if it did inded cost that much, it would be done right. They diagnosed the car, got back to us promptly and to our delight, the quote came in MUCH MUCH lower than the first place. It took about a day and a half for everything to be fixed, it passed smog and is running great! Definitely coming back with any and all car problems/needs. You can tell these guys are straight shooters, and not trying to nickle and dime you!

Cannot recommend this place enough. Called in this morning to ask if they had availability. They were able to take my car in. Karen is one of, if not the most welcoming person I've ever met. Got a routine maintenance with some fluids topped off. Was fully kept in the loop on the status of my car. The price was amazing as well. Every moment with this company was a pleasure. Don't listen to any of the negative reviews.

Professional, polite, and HONEST! A rare find for auto shops today. I could not recommend Karen, Adam, and Tanner more highly.

, he's very professional and knowledgeable.he has a great personality and great communication skills , make an appointment, he's just so busy because he's great at his craft ​

Nothing more than a glorified smog shop. If you have a REAL problem with your vehicle, they'll give you some bs excuse on why they can't fix it, charge you $80, and dump it back on you with the same problem it had when you took it in.Only reason for the two star review and not one, is that the front desk lady Karen, is really nice.

Once again A-1 Automotive has been there for me when I had a problem with my truck. This time my water pump was leaking, and this can be a big problem with any vehicle. They recognized the problem right away, got me right in and replaced it. Excellent customer service and value for the money! I highly recommend this business. These are good, honest folks!

I've been here twice for Smog certification. They open at 7:00 am on Saturday. Perfect! Very friendly and fast. Reasonable price and they have a coupon.Note: If you're looking for a ritzy shop with a modern lounge and free bottled water from an exotic location, this is not your shop. If you want good work at a reasonable price at a convenient time, A-1 Automotive is the right place to go.
