A & E Automotive

A&E Is so thorough. They did a complimentary check to see if there were any issues of my car that I might not be aware of and walked me through what’s most important to fix. They were willing to work with my warranty company, saving me hundreds of dollars. Dannon is so kind and explained everything to me and supported me through all the repairs. Great shop!

I can’t thank this mechanic enough! I bought a car from a dealer “as is,” and just three months later the engine failed. He was upfront and honest with me from the start, explained everything clearly, and even gave me advice he didn’t have to. Although he doesn’t usually do engine replacements, he was willing to take the risk to help me out. Most importantly, he suggested I go directly to Ford to check for warranty coverage and thanks to his honesty, I ended up getting a brand-new engine at no cost! 🙌 I truly appreciate his knowledge, transparency, and willingness to go above and beyond. I’ll definitely be coming back here for all my car needs in the future.

I have been taking my car to A&E for 3 years for both engine and suspension work, etc. They provide detailed explanations and photographs of work completed and needing to be done. They have experienced technical staff and excellent resources for parts. Highly recommend them for regular checkups/oil changes as well as bigger work.

We've been having our vehicles serviced at at A&E for a few years now. Their prices are competitive, mechanics knowledgeable and courteous. The owner Dannon is a hard working Goleta local business owner that is eager to help. Led by Master Technician Edgar and his A-Team, there's no job too big! Their work is Thorough and Honest! They also offer a couple of choices with financing that not many local, non-franchised shops offer. Thanks for being there for me and my family A&E!!

I have a 2001 Saturn SL1 that, in my first year with my license, they saved my car and helped me get my motor rebuilt as well as do a bunch of other repairs around the engine bay. Dannon is very friendly and sweet as extraordinary as her hard-working mechs always putting cars on the lifts and working on them. It's a wonderfully run Mom & Pop shop, they do a great job here and they show you a genuine human experience. They'll never try to just take your money and do whatever, and I highly recommend going here for any or most repairs, if not all repairs depending on what car you have.
