I was searching for an alternative option to take my car to get serviced and finally made an appointment with C & F in Costa Mesa. John was very helpful and completely understood what I needed to keep my Audi A6 TDI running smooth! I had an oil change, Adblue topped off, 65K mile inspection and filters replaced throughout. Price was very reasonable for the amount of work and the car was ready on time.C&F was definitely a better deal than the Audi dealer service center. Highly recommend calling John at C&F!

Great service! John did some adjustments and breaks on my 73 VW bug, makes it run a lot smoother! Will be back again.

Highly recommend C&F Auto. I trust them to be honest with what my car needs, they get the work done in a very timely and cost effective manner, they are kind and give clear explanation and have your best interest at heart. I will continue to return here for all my European car service needs.

My Audi service was due and I waited last minute to take care of it. I tried to schedule an appointment at the nearby Audi dealerships but they were all booked till next month. I then gave Beach house imports a call, they said they were no longer working on that platform and redirected me to C&F Auto and John.When I gave C&F Auto a call John was there to answer my call and give me the good news that he could schedule an appointment for me the next day! I scheduled the appointment and it went very well, the process was easy I was informed that my car would be ready the next day. When I picked up my car I was very pleased to see that my rear window was fixed and the service indicator was no longer showing.I highly recommend this shop to people who have a German automobile. I also got to talk to John about my car more in depth and I trust his opinion, he really cares about the customer and their car and not making money. I asked him about turbocharging and upgrading certain parts in my car but he was very honest and steered me into the right path; in that my car doesnt need all that work and I just need to stay on top of my maintenance

Very happy with the service here! Its been tough finding a reliable and honest mechanic. Previous mechanics dont actually fix the problem but its a very different story with C&F. I wouldnt use anyone else if you value your vehicle, money and honest labor.

I brought my 2012 Porsche Cayenne to C&F Auto Repair in Costa Mesa because I had a coolant leak. They found the problem instantly. Replaced the water pump, belt and a couple of other minor issues. I was so happy in their quick repair work and the price was thousands below the dealership would have charged. I highly recommend them. I’m not taking my car anywhere else.

I have owned my 1966 912 Porsche for 50 years and am very particular about who services my car. Having moved to the Newport/Costa Mesa area 11 years ago Ive been to several of the Porsche specialty shops during the first 6 years in the area and then found C&F on the referral of a very satisfied 356 Porsche owner 5 years ago. I now have all my maintenance done by John as he always has been straight forward about the cost of the work and the quality equals or exceeds many of the higher priced specialty repair shops in the area. He and his staff always take care that the cars exterior and interior are kept clean and protected during the its stay at his shop. John knows his business and personally supervises all the work he and his crew have done, often doing the work himself. Need I say more!

This is one of the most honest mechanic shops I have experienced. I have taken my Mini Cooper S in here about 4 or 5 times over the past 3 years to get various things looked at. Paul, the previous owner, and now John have turned me away each time saying I didnt need to do anything yet.The first time I went to them was in the beginning of 2014 to take a look at my clutch. Prior to that visit, another mechanic had told me I needed to get my clutch done ASAP and made it seem like it needed to be done within the next few months otherwise it make things worse. I was worried because that is such an expensive job on my Mini. I decided to get a second opinion and found C & F from their reviews online. When I went there they reassured me that I have a lot of life left on my clutch. Here I am, over 3.5 years later, and my clutch is still in great shape and John still tells me I dont need it yet.Recently, I went in because there was a noise when I would turn my car. Again, John was very helpful and explained everything to me. He gave me a couple options based on if I was going to keep the car long-term or not. He is very consultative, telling me the pros and cons of waiting to get work done on the car or doing it soon, and I never felt pressured to get any work done.Almost 4 years later, and I am finally going to get work done by them. I trust C&F and would highly recommend them!

Before I bought my 997 I was referred to John by Glenn at Glenns Alignment. I went over to introduce myself to John and had a great time chatting and seeing his shop. After I got the car I went back to John to have him fix up a few things and to see how he operates. My main thing is trust - does a mechanic give me sensible advice, does he discuss his thought process with me, does he charge reasonable rates for the task at hand. My experience so far with John is that yes, he does all those things. Ill be back to Johns shop for future work and I wont hesitate to refer other Porsche owners to him as well.

I asked for a diagnostics test for a 2014 BMW and the customer service representative would not provide a written estimate for the cost of the test. When I asked if I would receive a copy of the report I was told I could not get a printed or pdf version, they would send pictures through text message. They are not helpful or cooperative, wouldn’t recommend.
