Our story

We Show You the Problem, Not Just the Bill

Ace Auto Care is a Santa Ana repair shop built on plain talk. Owner Jose and the team walk customers through exactly what's wrong before any work begins, and they keep you posted the whole way through the job instead of leaving you guessing.

We work on everything from routine A/C service to bigger jobs on older, harder-to-source vehicles. When a part isn't easy to find, we track it down rather than tell a customer no. Whether it's a water pump on a 2013 Ford Escape or a stubborn IAC valve, we take the time to explain what's actually going on with your car.

Our customers keep coming back because they trust what we tell them, and because the work holds up.

  • Owner-led shop
  • Clear, upfront diagnostics
  • Sources hard-to-find parts
  • Open 7 days a week

What customers say

“A real pro—he said it would take 45 minutes but finished in 30. The A/C is blowing really cold now, which is a lifesaver in this heat. The prices are reasonable, but the main thing is that he's a true expert at what he does.”

Made in Kazakhstan

“I had a lot of work done here on my older van, Frankie did an excellent job. They were really honest and transparent and worked really hard to get some parts that my car needed. I will definitely be back when my car needs more work done.”

Edward R

“Owner Jose knows exactly what was wrong my car. I brought my 2013 Ford Escape water pump repair. They kept me posted everyday and very honest. They care about your car a lot and people too!”
