Amazing professionalism and expertise. Fixed an elusive electrical issue on my Element that three other shops in SD gave three different diagnoses for. Next time I have an issue on a Honda that I can't resolve myself I'll save myself the headache and take it directly to Autowave. CEL off and smog passed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in SoCal with a Honda.

19:28 02 Oct 23

Fixed root cause of elusive CEL which turned out to be a break in the harness in a few places. Three other shops diagnosed different things saying I needed...

This was my first time here as I was not happy with my other mechanic. Shane and Mike took great care of my sons car. They basically did everything on a1990 Honda Accord except for changing out the engine and transmission! I felt taken care of and I thought they were honest. I believe they are a family owned business which I like to support! So yes I will be back. Thanks again

23:04 24 Sep 23

Well, I had to get the tough news today because I have a 2013 Honda Accord sport but my car has been put to the test in every type of weather situation...

15:48 18 Sep 23

Mike was professional and very knowledgeable about Honda issues. The repairs were quick. We will be back. Thank you, Autowave Team

First time customer, referred by my son, took my 2013 Si Coupe to have my clutch replaced ,took it in on a Thursday afternoon car was ready my Monday. The shop did a great job on the clutch runs like new again. They also did a full inspection of all other parts and recommended to have them replaced before they get any worse. I strongly recommend Autowave Shop.

20:45 30 Aug 23

Been going to Shane for over 20 years. He’s a straight shooter. Just good solid work at fair prices and his word is golden!! Can’t find that many places these days!!!

20:08 25 Aug 23

I made an appointment using RepairPal which made it seamless. So, I brought my mom's Honda Clarity Plug-in because the A/C was not blowing cold. They gave me an estimate to fix it. My mom's car has a warranty through Maxcare, and Mike went out of his way to call them to make sure the service was covered. I really appreciated their honesty and diligence. That's not something you can find at a lot of auto repair shops. I will most definitely be bringing the car to Autowave Inc for further repairs and services.

19:43 03 Aug 23

This is the second time to had my Honda Odyssey serviced. First one is a flying color experience. Second one makes me know more of their services which is customer oriented. Since I'm going to travel and need my van, they fixed these items that will make my travel safe. I return the van after my trip and fix everything except items that is a back order parts which does not affect the van. Thanks to everybody working as team.

There is no one else I would trust to service my 2004 Acura NSX. Despite living in Los Angeles, I make the hour long commute because these guys are just that good. Truly honest mechanics who never try to upsell you. Autowave is a gem, a real diamond in the rough. Cannot say enough good things!

I have brought my MDX to AutoWave several times over the years and have always had a top notch experience. They take the extra time to explain if they have a recommendation why they recommend to do whatever it is. They’ve never unsold me on anything and I I will continue to trust them with my vehicle when I need future service or maintenance.Also, several years back in the middle of the summer before I was heading out to the desert my A/C went out and they saw me the next day and had the repairs done the same day. They saved me from an absolute nightmare!

23:19 04 Aug 22

I brought my 1991 NSX to Autowave to resolve a starting problem. They resolved the problem quickly and reasonably. They suggested additional work, that in my opinion, would not be able to have been performed elsewhere at any price. My car is now in exceptional condition. Shane, Mike and their crew are very professional, courteous and most importantly honest! Their attention to detail is incredible. They treat your car as if it was their own. I highly recommend them, for any vehicle, but especially for the Acura NSX. They are definitely the "NSX Go to Guys"!!

19:30 23 Jul 22

I have been taking my car to Auto Wave for over 20 years and it's better then a new car because of Auto Wave.

23:01 21 Jul 22

Couldn't be happier with the service! Efficient, professional, trustworthy & reasonable prices! Thank you so much!!!

18:09 12 Jul 22

My air conditioner stopped blowing during the last heat wave. I took my car and was immediately greeted by Shane. He said it would take a few hours to...

23:29 03 Jul 22

Autowave has earned the trust of Honda and Acura aficionados for 40 years; as a choosy Honda owner, I’ve trusted Autowave for everything from supercharging my S2k to repairing the air conditioner in our family’s ‘08 CR-V. When the air conditioner was not blowing cold, Autowave accurately diagnosed the root of the problem and replaced the leaking Schroder valves instead of a more costly repair. If you’ll indulge me for a story, everything started in around 2017 when I fulfilled a childhood dream of supercharging my beloved S2k, putting over 300 prancing ponies under the hood, lab-verified on their dyno. Another shop replaced the clutch, but Autowave noticed the shop failed to properly bolt the steering coupler, meaning the steering could have broken loose at any moment of spirited canyon carving, causing me to careen off the road. Needless to say Autowave did more than bolt a steering coupler that momentous day in 2017, they earned my loyalty and quite possibly saved my life. Looking back now hundreds of thousands of miles later, I trust Autowave with the safety of my family. Even though I make the trek all the way from Ventura County, Autowave makes trip worthwhile with candid shop talk and excellent service.

15:29 10 Feb 22

Thank you, Auto Wave for taking such good care of my new Acura and doing the first service. My car was due for its first oil change, and I didn't want to bring it to the dealer, which is in Cerritos. I am so happy that I found Auto Wave that specializes in Honda and Acura right here in Huntington Beach. Their service was prompt and efficient and they even went beyond the oil change and first service, as they noticed some white paint on the fender and they buffed it out, without extra charge, and got rid of it. So, my car looks brand new again and shiny. Thanks to everyone for their courtesy and efficiency. I have never seen an auto shop so clean and well maintained. I will definitely go back and recommend them to other Acura and Honda owners. Rene Burton

13:56 24 Jul 21

I came in with skid plate damage to my Honda Civic. I was expecting them to put it on the jack and charge me a couple hundred bucks to just do a quick minor repair - like most repair shops would.... Instead, they told me they fixed my issue free of charge as it was a simple problem! I was in and out within a half hour and will definitely come back for any servicing I need done. Super impressed

20:04 21 Jul 21

Mike and Shane are very helpful and extremely knowledgeable of Acura and Honda Vehicles. My 2006 RL drives and feels like it did when I got it in 2008! I plan to return for a couple more issues, then it will be a new car again! Do yourself a favor and check them out.
