Could not find your place using Waze and Google maps. I called and told the person andwering the phone where I was and she told me you were in the back of the gas station afte I had told her I was by the Valvoline station and the tire station. Wrong gas station where I was at. So I went home and will not ever use your business again.
I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service I received from Cal Oaks Auto Repair! From the moment I walked in, I was treated with professionalism and courtesy. Kortney was transparent and provided clear, concise quotes for the repairs, leaving no room for confusion. What truly impressed me was the outstanding communication throughout the entire process. I was kept informed every step of the way, and the team was always available to answer my questions. What's more, I was not subjected to any high-pressure upselling tactics, which was a huge relief. The quality of work was top-notch, and I was blown away by the attention to detail. I will most definitely be returning to Cal Oaks Auto Repair for all my future car needs. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is truly inspiring, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy auto repair services.
Quick service and friendly staff! We were able to get a same day appointment to get two of our cars smogged. Will definitely come back again!
Excellent service and high quality work. Staff is exceptional and extremely friendly. Their rates are reasonable and fair. So happy I found an excellent mechanic I can depend on.
We were very pleased with their service. They were able to diagnose and fix the issue with our Buick. Two different dealerships were not able to even determine there was a problem. Thank you Demetri and Kortney.
I came to Cal Oaks based on multiple positive reviews on Yelp. I brought my car in for a potential brake job and transmission fluid change. As I brake, I had screeching/grinding noise, so I thought I would need new rotors as well. I didn't end up needed new brakes, but the shop did the transmission service. I could not believe the difference in transmission shifting! I don't think my car ran smoother since I bought it. Now at 180K miles, it runs wonderfully. Customer service I got was excellent. The woman at the front desk was beyond nice. Dimitri came out to say hi as I was picking up my car and explained to me that while they could not diagnose exactly where the grinding noise was originating, they could not find anything wrong with my car. He advised that I should come back if the noise gets worse. Overall, very positive experience. I will certainly be back!
Cal Oaks Auto Repair is, hands-down, the best auto repair spot you'll find! The staff is always super friendly, the repairs are done quickly, and the repairs are done all for a VERY reasonable price. My first repair was a A/C compressor on my vehicle, and by going here I saved 3 days and $500. The other mechanic wanted my vehicle for 3 days and Cal Oaks Auto Repair got it done in about 6 hours, for $500 less!! I've had work done multiple times on our vehicles and I've always been pleased. Thank you Dimitri and team!
As a business owner I know how important it is to give feedback on services that you provide for your customers. Dimitri is by far the most honest, reasonable, and professional mechanic in Murrieta, hands down! I live in Rancho Cucamonga and was out on a service call in San Diego when my service van died on me. Realizing that I had no other alternative than to either tow it or take it to a local mechanic, I took a leap of faith and pushed my service vehicle to the nearest gas station around. That 76 gas station had an auto shop named 'Cal Oaks Auto Repair.' Not only did they repair my vehicle, but Dimitri and co. helped me out with a very reasonable price. I'm willing to drive out 45 miles from Rancho Cucamonga to Murrieta just to get my vehicles serviced. That's how great Cal Oaks Auto Repair is!!!! Thank you guys! Sincerely, Nelson ~ Owner/Operator @ Mobile Rod Solutions inc.

Probably the best local auto shop. Been taking my cars here for years. Honest diligent.
Best auto repair in Murrieta. Honest mechanic. Great customer service. Been going here for years
My technician was Harley, he was very knowledgeable and you can tell he takes pride in the work he does. Definitely recommend him and this auto repair shop.
Reliable and honest workshop. They were able to address the issue and schedule the repairs within a short time. I would recommend this business to everyone.
Great service, reasonable price, great staff. Love this place. I dont go anywhere else.
My issue with this garage, that they dont fix the problems; they replace parts assuming that it will fix it. He didnt diagnose the problem properly, he just took guess and start replacing parts assuming that it will fix the car, cost me over $4600 and still have unfixed car, in his defense he run out options how to fix the car..somehow mechanic..if you would have diagnosed it and find the root cause before replacing some of the good parts, repair would have been cheaper..I took his suggestion to replace both side lifters which was unnecessary, he ensure me that doing so I shouldnt have any problems..yet car still misfire and shakes..he refused to continue fixing car or return some of the money..
My mom has been a loyal customer since we moved to Murrieta- 6 years later, my siblings and I have been bringing our cars here too. Good Job Dimitri, Denise and team. We appreciate you. Emily is pretty cool too. Very professional and great customer service skills.
Can t say enough great things about this shop. Dimitri and his staff are professional, courteous & above all HONEST!!! Which is what you really are looking for in a repair shop. Continue to do business with them and send everyone you know to them! Top notch all the way.
Dmitri is the best in knowing whats wrong with my 2004 honda when other mechanics cant find! And very honest with his prices too
One of the best, and only, shops that I will ever go to. The team is highly professional, very welcoming, and always have a great attitude. I think its important to have a mechanic that you can trust, and that has years of experience and knowledge, Dimitri and his team are just that! Highly recommend this shop!
Super Mechanic shop! Knowledgeable, Fair prices, Friendly! Just had fluid changed on transfer case, differentials and transmission. So far nothing to big or to small for this awesome business. Thank you Heather and Dimitri
Demetrius was kind, professional, and honest. He changed a headlight bulb for me at a very reasonable price, basically just did it as a favor. I highly appreciate him and would go to him again for more jobs and would recommend others to see him for their car needs.
Friendly and honest
Cal oaks is always the best when fixing my cars. Fast, throughout, and most of all, honest which is hard to find in a mechanic. Ill always take my car to these trusted mechanics!
The lines were a little busy but still was in an out quickly
Good place
Had the oil changed. Busy place but my car was done in an hour. I would recommend this mechanic shop.
Had my car fixed and ready to go on schedule. Kept me informed and saved me money on parts that were not needed as originally thought. Great service and fairly priced. I would return and recommend to family and friends.
The service is excellent and so are the automotive repairs.
Best experience with an auto repair company in the 5 years Ive lived in Murrieta. They did a great job with my Jeep. Demetri and his team do great work, on time, and in my case, came in under budget. Ill be back.
Took my Jeep in for a new clutch kit, that didn t even last one year before I needed to get it replaced again. I tried calling a few times to get it fixed under warranty but never got through or a call back. I decided to get it fixed somewhere else because they did a terrible job the first time.
Its such a relief to find an Auto Repair shop that is pretty quick in servicing a vehicle, knowledgeable in determining the problem, and is honest and has a high level of integrity. I brought in my work vehicle with a check engine light on with several codes signalling problems. Natalie kept me posted to the progress as Dimitri and the shop worked diligently to get the problem fixed (a damaged wiring harness). I got my vehicle back fixed and running great and the cost was a welcome relief from what Ive paid to other shops in the past. Thank you Cal Oaks Auto Repair for your help and I will pass on your info to people I know that need their autos serviced.
Very honest mechanics...which as we know is hard to find.
I gave them 5 stars on Yelp as well. They have kept my 99 F250 crew cab diesel running well for the last couple of years. Its back to the shop again today by tow truck, and I can relax knowing my truck and I will be treated well. I am a senior lady living alone so that counts alot to me.
This is my go to for oil change and car repairs. Reliable, honest and fast service!
Only mechanic I use. I send all my friends to Dimitry. Cant beat his prices and professional service.
Demitri helped me with my car problem and since he couldnt find a problem he kept it honest and didnt charge me anything and these days its hard to find a honest mechanic. So it was refreshing to be treated in this manner.
I trust Demetri and John and they have gotten the job done fire a good price thus far.
These guys are an outstanding group of people. They replaced my 6.0 liter engine in my truck and it runs perfectly. These guys are with out a doubt the *******DOCTORS OF THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY*****
These guys always take care of my car and have been for years. Theyre very thorough and will not BS you when it comes to repairs.
Honest mechanic shop that tells it like it is and makes only recommend repairs Had a radiator replaced there and am very happy with service.
He is super nice and gave me a cheap price on my brakes and tries
The man who helped me is Dimitri Loutfi. I was having some smog issue and brought the truck in. This guy called me every 2 hours to update me on the truck and keep me informed. He had all his up to date certifications on his wall. He is by far, the best guy out here. Super willing to help and always trying to go above and beyond to help his customers. Thanks Dimitri. If I ever need help I know where to go.
I was referred to Dimitri / Owner at Cal Oaks two years ago and couldnt be more satisfied and at peace with my car repair shop of choice. Dimitri gives 100%, always quick to educate on what is going on with my truck and offer solutions that dont break the bank. He is HONEST, RELIABLE and one of the kindest human beings I have ever met. You wont go wrong, check them out!
Replaced my struts and went out of their way to save me money. This is now my go to mechanic, couldnt be happier.
Had a great experience!! Explained everything that needed done , above and beyond of repair.Fast and timely manner as promised.
honest, reliable and trustworthy. Always completes work and make sure you have a safe car. One of the best mechanic I know.
