AWS Automotive for oil change
Clear ✕All 52 Google reviews tagged “Oil change” · showing 20
First time customer, where I called at the end of the day to see if AWS Automotive (AWS) could look into an improperly working fan motor on my son’s 2013 Mazda 3; I also asked for an oil change. To my surprise the shop was able to get me in first thing the next morning. AWS called me and gave me their preliminary…
Update: Oct 6, 2025. AWS Automotive is the 'BEST'. I can't say enough about Caleb, Jason, and the technicians. As I expected, they went way over the top to make sure I received 5-star service. It's like they wouldn't settle for anything less. On all levels, they are professional, as well as polite, friendly.…
Prompt, thorough and professional, and awfully nice.
Caleb and his staff are amazing! Great, efficient work and no surprise price changes! I refer them every chance I get. Super honest in everything they do. 😊
I had the rear rotors, and brake pads replaced, CV boot replaced, transmission fluid flushed, oil changed, and wiper blades replaced. It was quite a bit of work, but all repairs were completed, and my car was ready for pickup on time as promised. I love the fact that the technician road tested my vehicle before, and after repairs were completed.
One million stars! So friendly and professional, my car always leaves better than it went in. Very efficient and great prices, thank you AWS for making sure my vehicle is in tip-top condition!
Very happy with the top mechanics servicing my car.
Just moved in from Oceanside and my bug eye WRX was acting up. Found this great shop online and they got me back on the road in no time. They have earned my business from this point on, you will not be disappointed. I have now taken about 5 different vehicles now. Caleb and his crew are great and will get your…
AWS is always responsive to the needs of my Subaru. I trust AWS to be professional and reliable when it comes to my car repairs.
Quick, easy, good location for me, reasonably priced.
Has a new water pump installed and the pump turned out to be faulty. Caleb made it right at no extra cost to me.
They serviced my car in a professional manner, finished the work in a timely manner for a price that was reasonable. A good, solid job.
Updated: 6/23/22 What a warm friendly place of business. Caleb greets each person with a warm smile. He listens to your concerns and addresses each one fully. This is the only place I go to have my 2013 toyota priys serviced. I have never worry about Caleb suggesting more services than needed. In fact he will be…
AWS had my car for 5 weeks and I was left to find my own transportation during that time. The communication was very poor. I was frequently told I would receive a call back by a certain time and rarely received that call. Ultimately they were not able to fix my cars issue - seemed like the problem was biting off…
I appreciated the work performed on my car, as well as the conversation I had regarding a timeline for a future repair. Definitely recommend AWS.
Very thorough, professional. Thanks, AWS.
If you’re in the greater Ventura area, go here! Caleb and his team are the best! I initially came to Caleb to redo the clutch on my truck, but have since kept coming back because his quality, service, and affordability is unbeatable! I’ve never had a mechanic truly care about helping people more than Caleb. He even…
I can't speak highly enough about my experience with Caleb and AWS. It's always nice to find a trusty mechanic, and Caleb and his team were there for me. I came in with some engine issues on my rusty old truck, and asked them to do a full diagnostic and fix whatever needed fixing. They kept me up-to-date with what…
So personable. So professional. Love these guys.
I was really hoping that AWS would be my new mechanic. But my second visit was a huge disappointment unfortunately. They are very busy and I'm happy for them. My Honda sat on their lot for 7 business days without being worked on with 3 calls about sending diagnosis...no follow through. Glad you're busy. Improve…
