Best in the west! 12/31/2013

I've been working with The Engine Company for ten years now and I have and would recommended them to everybody who needs some automotive work done. I find them courteous, very knowledgeable, and I wouldn't trust my vehicle with anybody else. more

Best Shop Around 11/26/2013

The engine company is the best mechanic i'v been too in a long time. They are honest and straight forward! I will be recommending them to family and friends. more

Excellent communication, great service! 11/25/2013

These guys are the bomb. They took my '64 American Rambler and fixed all the problems, stem to stern. Peter knows what he's doing, in addition to being a really nice guy. I just wish I'd known about him years ago. He can tackle any make/model. I'd suggest these guys to ANYONE and EVERYONE. They know their stuff! more

Thorough work at a fair price 11/25/2013

I've been coming to the Engine Company for ten years. Several times I've priced different services (clutch replacement etc.) against other shops and always found them competitive. Their level of service is much better than any shop I've ever visited, and truly such nice people... more

Thanks Engine Co! 11/22/2013

Peter, Sylvia and their staff have been the only people to work on my Ford F150, Toyota Tacoma and 74 VW Thing. Peter restored my VW from the graveyard and rebuilt the transmission and other parts with his hands, not a computer. They are informative, friendly and always available to discuss any matters and always have a spare treat for my dog. I feel that they appreciate my business and they work to keep it by providing the highest level of service every time. After all these years looking for a good mechanic in SB, I finally "know a guy" i can trust in town. more

The best mechanic in Santa Barbara!! 11/22/2013

Trusted professionals with a priority on satisfied customers 7/5/2013

The Engine Company has serviced all of our cars for 20 years as far as scheduled maintenance and repairs. They always performed as expected. If there was ever anything that didn't work properly after they worked on it, they fixed it without charging me. Plan on receiving a thorough understanding of the problem and trust the judgement on the work that must be done. There is work that could be done, should be done, and must be done. When they say that work must be done, believe them. The modicum of their service is that they give you full awareness of what needs to be done. For people who don't like any surprises, I think that's their strong point. Peter does a great job of explaining what is going to need to be done in the future. more

helpful, thorough, friendly, solid service 6/11/2013

The engine company gets to the heart of the problem. Peter, Sylvia, Vinney offer you a ride home, explain the process in detail, fix what doesn't work, and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. more

Been using them for years, like family 6/5/2013

We have been using The Engine Company for years and years and I feel like we are members of their family. We have used them for just about everything from maintenance to large and small repairs. They do great work and they know us and our vehicles well. I can't say enough good things about them! more

Incredible, above and beyond service 6/4/2013

I had a broken speedometer and I called late in the day to The Engine Company and they were willing to take me. My car is 20 years old, so while I was there they did an assessment of my car and they helped me figure out what could be put off and what was a pressing fix. Paul was so willing to explain the assessment in detail. The cable was shipped into the shop the next morning so he fixed my speedometer and front end alignment and a few minor servicing jobs. He did work that was well-needed and I was very impressed. Paul works with his wife and she put all my receipts in my glove box into a binder, dating all the way back to 20 years ago, so we could look at the work done on my car. They went so above and beyond to take care of my car and look at long-term servicing goals. more
