I want to share my experience with the Automotive Service Center of Lompoc . Miguel and his crew were able to get our Lincoln squared away ahead of schedule. There was no power to two fuses that control the fuel injection and ignition system. They verified my finding and were able to locate the relay system within a short period of time. Took care of the problem and was fair on the bill. They were professional. I have them perform smog inspections every year on my vehicles. Always a good price and easy to work with. I am happy to recommend Lompoc Automotive Service Center.
Price assessment: Reasonable price
Services: General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

This is the most honest mechanic shop I ever been in, I went in for a check engine light in my chevy malibu, they fixed the problem the same day and they helped me save a whole lot of money.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding service I received on my car today. From the moment I arrived, your team went above and beyond, and I truly can't thank you enough for the exceptional care you provided. A particular highlight was your commitment to ensuring I made it to work without a hitch; that level of consideration for your customers' schedules is truly commendable and something I deeply value.
Update****
Came in with the same issue. They did not fix it, i paid an arm and a leg for it to not be fixed. They suggested i purchase the parts. I buy them called today for more assistance for them to not be able to help. I feel played.

Went in to replace cabin air filter after we found dead mice under the hood. They not only replaced it but did a quality check of my engine to check for damage or mice. Amazing customer service, transparent/fair costs and very fast maintenance. Will go again!
