I dont know what the other reviewer is talking about, but I cant say enough about Brea Auto Electric. Three years ago, my daughters car broke down in Pasadena and it was towed to one of those chain auto places. Turns out it was a bad alternator. Since we live in the SF Bay Area (shes going away to school) I was very concerned about my 18 year old daughter. To make a long story short, we ended up taking the car to Mike at Brea and got nothing but excellent service. I felt like they treated my daughter like their daughter and they were great about picking her up and taking her back to her dorm as required. We had other work done there when her car got hit by another car and again experienced great service. So, three years later the alternator went out again. I thought that was short for an alternator and called Mike. He agreed that it was and said he would take care of the problem for a minimal cost. He did not have to do this as it very likely wasnt the alternator, but a different problem with the car. But, he said "It was the right thing to do". In any case, I had the car towed to Brea. They took the alternator apart and discovered that it was only a bad brush. They replaced that and it was even less than what he had originally told me! Im always suspicious of car places, and he could have easily told me more money and I would have still been happy, but he didnt. I found that these guys are very trust worthy and a class act. If I lived in LA, I would drive miles to take me car to Brea Auto Electric.

Our family has been going to Doug for decades and hes always been very fair. Not always the cheapest but always way below dealer rates and just as solid - if you have a problem it gets fixed and fixed right. They wont do what they cant do well, so youre safe if they take the job. Ive referred a number of friends over the years and theyve always walked away happy. Oh, and I do most of my own work so I use Doug for the tough stuff that a backyarder cant do in a practical manner. Give them a try, theyll treat you right with anything resembling reasonable expectations and attitude. One last thought, they are completely separate from Dougs Brea Auto Repair next door, so make sure that youre going to the right one. Yes, there are two Dougs right next to each other and they are separate people - Ive met them both.

Yea they are total a-h#$@#! I had my Mustang towed in there and I was having charging problems. Doug or whoever came out, lifted the hood and said Im not working on this car it is a cluster$%#%! He didnt test the alternator or anything. I mean he is an auto electric guy! What a jerk. I am going to post on Yelp also.

These guys are great they did a brake job on my 57 chevy and did a class job. The car had been sitting for years and they completely rebuilt the stock brake system and fix the electric problems as well and consulted with me on the entire project.
