Always excellent!! Been going there for years never a disappointment!

Integrity is not dead!I was referred to this establishment by a neighbor that swore by this business. I was very hesitant and always expect the worst from mechanics. I brought it here on a last ditch effort to pass smog, and after replacing multiple parts (somewhat basic) myself.So I brought it in the following day bright and early, and not even a couple hours later his wife (who also works there) calls me & let’s me know it’s going to be a couple hundred for parts & labor. I let her know let’s do it IF he’s confident that this is the final issue. Cause I’m not in a situation financially to gamble on this car anymore. She put me on hold and came back with what was the most upfront, fair & honest deal a business establishment have ever given me (I won’t post it, it’s between them and I) and I couldn’t pass it up.Bottom line is HE STANDS BY HIS WORK 100% WITH CONFIDENCE! And him and his wife are the sweetest people you could hope to meet as well.The car is fixed completely, and it passed smog with flying colors. So grateful for business’ like this one. Keep up the good work, and thank you.

Weve been going to Orange Independent for years. Rick never tries to sell you on stuff you really dont need. Has an amazing talent for letting you know what is a fix now vs what can wait a few months. Very helpful with how money has been tight for a lot of people the last 15 months.

A joy to visit, friendly, always a very pleasant experience under one of the most important unexpected situations that life throws at any given day especially when dealing with vehicles. Orange Independent offers exceptional customer service, knowledgeable about all vehicles, an example of a top notch service! Amazing!

Very nice people. Quality work.Thank you,

A no nonsense mechanic. Theres a reason orange independant has been open for decades. I was referred by a family friend. They have the best prices in town and are so down to earth. Sometimes you have to go to your dealer for repairs, otherwise go to orange independant!

Honesty, Competence, and much cheaper than the dealer. Been going here for over 30 years. Do yourself a favor and take your car to Orange Independent for service.

Came in with my 73 VW Thing and redid the entire fuel system. Eddie was awesome to work with and they delivered on time and on budget. They installed my additional parts I purchased and did a great custom install where I wanted. This shop is now my go to for my bigger projects. Thanks again to the owner Rick, very good pricing and honest work!

Seriously amazing people who genuinely care.

I came in at the recommendation of my landlords, who have been coming here for years and met the owner, Rick. My car was making a horrible noise and I was afraid it was the starter or alternator. It turned out to be a much smaller issue that didnt need to be addressed with urgency. They were completely honest with me about the severity of the issue (or lack thereof) and actually fixed it completely free. I will come back for everything from here on out.Word of advice: the shop is small, and there isnt really a waiting room. Have a friend drop you off or plan to walk around a bit.

Very reliable, honest and great work. Family owned.

Eddie knows his way around my VW Bus well. His ability to diagnose problems is efficient and accurate. The turn around time on repairs makes it worth every dollar. When they didnt have the equipment, they referred me to another very competant mechanic for smog. They have consistently delivered honest prices, pre-approved all work, and completed jobs on time, on budget, and with great customer service.

I appreciate the honesty and quality of work. Thats difficult to find in OC. Will always go back for all my auto issues.

Honest and great mechanics here. Always great service.
