Harbor Auto Service Center

Mike and Harbor Lexus is my trusted mechanic and service provider. Runs a tight ship. Honest and integrous. I highly recommend Harbor Auto.

I was quoted $7k by South Coast Toyota to get several things fixed on my car which they assured me were imperative. After a few months of searching for a new car, being that I didn’t want to put $7k into my current one, I figured I would get a second opinion. I selected Harbor Auto because it was nearby— I knew nothing about them before coming in. After only a few minutes on the phone, I had an appointment set same day. I returned a few hours later, and they had completed their inspection of my vehicle. They walked me underneath the car, showing me what the dealership was referring to, and told me that they were glad I came by before paying the outlandish price. Out of the laundry list of items Toyota told me I had, Harbor Auto only identified one which was immediately needed. They told me I can come in any day next week to get it repaired…. $300. Inspection free. Unfortunately, this kind of honesty and transparency doesn’t exist much in America anymore. I’m no car guy, but I am going to find every way possible to line these guys pockets! Couldn’t recommend this shop more.

My son and I both use Harbor Auto Service Center for all of our car repair needs. We are so pleased with the high level of service and expertise. Excellent location, fast repairs, very experienced mechanics. Michael Pavone is the friendly manager, and Swim is the best mechanic on Earth!

Decades of experience dealing with various auto mechanics, and nobody beats Harbor Auto. Nobody. Best work, trustworthy and honest service, good prices, and did I say honest? Let me say it again. I now live almost an hour away, and I will still take my car there and rent a car if necessary. Thank you for the many years of service!!

Those people are awesome super friendly fast honest and very reasonable price even if I came walk-in and alone as an Asian female. No fake reviews like the most of other places has. Solid business. I love the professionalism. Did my overdue oil change too and it was decent price too. Thank God this place is right by my house. Highly recommend this place.

Got my brakes and oil changed for my Suburban. Ask for Mike he’s a great guy, the shop is also extremely clean and comfortable for being a mechanic, they obviously take pride in what they do. 10/10 recommend

The owner, Michael, was very kind and honest. Southcoast Toyota tried a scare tactic on my car, I went to him with their exaggerated quote and he not only took the time to check out my car but also showed me the “supposed” problem spots that Southcoast Toyota tried to scare me with. Said it wasn’t an urgent fix like they made it seem. The suspension bolts did not shear/break as they claimed and he showed me where they were located under my car and took the time to educate me. I read Yelp reviews before going, and as a female wanting to feel safe and not get ripped off, he reassured me and did not charge for his time. I’m a converted lifelong customer. Will be going back in a few weeks for oil change, transmission, new tires (he doesn’t do tires but will hook it up through his referral). Love that I’ve found my one stop shop! Thank you for your kindness and giving me faith in humanity! Female customers on Yelp swayed my decision to pick his shop over others, their reviews about making us feel comfortable was spot on!

Needed a front bearing replaced. They asked for it to be dropped it off first thing. Not long afterward they called to say they recommended replacing the hub, too. Still got the car back by the end of the day. Good communication, fair pricing. Been a customer for a couple of years now.
