Classic Auto Works - Oceano, California

Took my car to them and they ripped me off $2000 and waisted 2 years of my time, my car is now in way worse condition than before all my new parts got ruined because they left my car outside uncovered, and ruined $12,000 of new parts and body work I had done before I took my car to this clown’s, I don’t recommend to anyone!

Kurt Definitely a mechanic that would get her done ? even with sandy conditions? thank you for getting her back on the road

Kurt did an excellent job replacing my engine and all the parts needed. My 2008 Edge is like a brand new car now. He's worked on my older Ford Ranger as well. He knows his stuff. Sandy knows her stuff as well and keeps in close contact. If it turns out that more problems are found she calls to inform and give an option with a quote to authorize the work. Very happy with their professionalism and "know how" for any car.

Based on previous reviews and conversations with the owners I had high hopes they would be able to complete my project. I have a dune buggy they said they could do engine/transmission work on. I set up an appointment to have it worked on 3/1/2021. They asked for a $500 deposit as well. I ended up picking it up incomplete and disassembled on 2/23/2022 almost a year later after only getting a written estimate for 3 times the amount initially discussed on 1/15/2022. Almost a year for an estimate. I was told since my vehicle was not a “primary vehicle” they put it on the back burner and the owner Kurt said he was afraid to work on it because he’d lose money. That wasn’t communicated until it was picked up though. Communication was always the issue and it seems like personal issues got in the way and were used as a way to constantly ask for more time and even make me feel bad for wanting my project prioritized. When I arrived to pick it up, it had obviously been sitting outside not sufficiently covered and was dripping with rust. Why wouldn’t it be stored inside? I was told that the rust would be easy for ME to clean up. Very unprofessional and disappointing to say the least. This has cost me both time and money. While I understand their business and personal family issues, the way this was handled is unacceptable.

So far I've only done business with them on the phone but it's been top-notch as far as I can tell. Senly is informative, helpful, and oh so friendly that I was assured that I had brought my car to the right spot. They're willing to work with my insurance company to figure out what's going to be paid for and what's not going to be paid for. I'll update this review at later date but so far so good.

Awful, awful experience. My car sat at their lot and they never worked on it. They give you a reasonable time frame when your vehicle will be done, collect your deposit money and after that — the woman who answers the phone just gives you the runaround when you call and eventually screens your calls — and I’ll be taking legal action with my lawyer as well as contacting the BBB.

What they quoted is not what took place. They don’t value their customers. Had very high hopes for this company. ** Met 2 other customers of theirs who had near exact experiences. Knowing what I know now, I would steer clear from Classic Auto Works and would advise you to do the same.

Look them up on BBB before you take your vehicle to them and you’ll see what I mean.

Great company that actually cares about their customers and not just dollars. Husband and wife business done right! I’ve been going to them since about 2015 for my three cars and would not going any place else! I highly recommend for all of your automotive needs!!
