These guys are amazing all around, brought in my 1999 Honda civic ex 1.6 I4 SOHC for a diagnosis on my oil leak and oil pan replacement. I got more than what I paid for to be done ( Topped off my coolant) prices are amazing mechanics there truly care about their work and most importantly know what they are doing. I saw 6 customers come in and out with a smile ready to leave with their car. I will be back to there soon to get my car tuned up. If you have any model Honda i really recommend you bring your car up there with them, Maintenance prices are awesome they care about your car lasting longer than the dealer does they’ll make the time to see your car ( if they can ) as they did with me. Go check check them out and leave with confidence.

Great place to get your Acura worked on. We took in our 2015 RDX for service (again) and received excellent service. Shane called and explained in detail everything they saw and why they needed to update some items. We had an issue with the passenger airbag and Shane figured out it must have been the battery because he couldn't get the error to come up again after replacing it. Thanks to all who worked on our car and the man who washed it...it needed it:) Highly recommend!

From my first step through the door and talk with Mike, I immediately knew I was in the right place. I know vehicles pretty well and Mike and his team knew every intricate detail.I went into the shop knowing what I wanted done and I wanted a good price. Mike worked with me. After his team got started on the car Mike made me aware of some other issues they identified while doing the once over on the car. While this work did add to my total bill, it was necessary.There is a 3% surcharge on all credit cards used, but you should turn your ire towards the credit card companies and not the small business. There is also a cash and check price as well, so there are ways out of the surcharge.Mike communicated with me the whole time my car was in his possession. It’s a family owned business and it shows. They care for their customers and make you feel like family. Nothing like having a neighborhood mechanic you can trust. To top it off, i’m pretty sure they washed my car for me. That was the icing on the cake. My car drives and runs like it came off the lot 19 years ago.Appreciate AutoWave!

I dunno, roughly 8 years ago or less, I had my 2002 Ep3 Civic Si transmission totally rebuilt here. I had bought the car almost new from the dealer and still had allot of the warranty remaining. So, any time I had to shift into 3rd a little faster than usual, it would always grind in really bad. It would sound horrible and also ppl would look at me like I didn't know wtf I was doing lol. It wasn't just 3rd either. It was reverse once in a while and starting the car sometimes would make a noise as if I had tried turning the key again after it was already started. Anyways, no matter how many times I took the car into the dealer for work, they could never "reproduce" the 3rd gear problem. I even offered to drive it to show them. NOPE! Well fast forward roughly 3 or 4 years and now the warranty is gone and of course the tranny goes out. First, I can't shift into 3rd, then I couldn't shift into reverse. GO FIGURE LOLI had the same issue with my 2000 Prelude SH model but luckily I found a fairly newly used SH tranny at a Honda dismantler and it went in PERFECT. It made my 2000 Prelude a beast again. Anyways, so back to my 2002 Civic Si. Honda wanted thousands of $ for the work and I said NOPE! I searched and found Auto wave. I took a chance and left my gal with them for a few weeks. It wasn't the cheapest BUT IT WAS THE BEST QUALITY SERVICE I'VE EVER HAD ON ANY HONDA I'VE EVER OWNED! They had one old man rebuild my tranny from scratch which blew me away (still ZERO problems with the tranny, no 3rd gear grinds, NOTHING!) This is going on almost 10 years now with no oil change and my first clutch change I'm doing tomorrow. They also replaced my cams or cam and several other things. I was 100% happy.Don't let the price scare you off! They do the work right the first time! I mean, they're used to working on NSX, SUPED UP S2000s, Honda beast motors, etc... They also put mechanics with certain cars or projects that they're familiar with so the job goes smooth, such as my transmission rebuild. I couldn't recommend them enough for someone who loves their Honda!I'm actually going back tomorrow to ask about a clutch replacement haha

Took my 18' Accord to get a transmission oil change today around 3 p.m. Mike & his crew had a full days work ahead of them & he was able to get me in & out of the shop within about an hour & ½! Transmission feels smooth like butter now! Very knowledgeable staff, highly recommend this place over getting serviced at the dealership.

Brian Rodriguez

Shane and Mike were really transparent and knowledgeable when handling my recent transmission work. The experience was 1000x better than past visits to the dealership service department. Will certainly be back!

If you are a Honda owner this is the place to go for any and all your services. Back in 2013 I had electrical issues with our 2008 Pilot and it was an elusive problem that every mechanic that I went to from Sears (I had a new Die Hard Battery) to my own trusted mechanic to a Honda dealership could not find the source of the issue. A work associate recommended Autowave so I gave them a shot, they too were baffled at first but Shane was persistent and after much testing was going to replace the alternator but at the last minute decided to try replacing the battery (which was testing normal) and that solved the problem saving me a lot of money. Because they are kind of far from my home (I live in Garden Grove) I haven't been back since then and I had a very good mechanic close by that recently retired and closed up the shop, which leads me to my current service. So I have been searching for a good local mechanic for 4 years now and have not found one that I am totally satisfied with. The mechanic that I have been using had new mechanics and service writers every time that I had one of my vehicles serviced and they always recommended a lot of extra repairs that were very expensive, also they were very sloppy, because they were just plain careless and didn't clean up properly I always had residual oil dripping from my undercarriage of both my vehicles that NEVER dripped oil before. I decided to go back to Autowave with my Pilot for a second opinion of the work the previous mechanic recommended and they confirmed many of the repairs and found a few other major issues. This is the work that was done: Oil Change, Air Filter, Replace Battery AC Delco, Replace Front & Rear Shocks Front Strut Boots & Bump Stops, Replace Front Sway Bar End Links, 4 Wheel Alignment, Transmission Service, Replace Front Cam Plug-O-Ring, Replace Air Intake Tube & Perform Throttle Body Service, Replace Driver side Window Washer Nozzel (no charge). Now this was not cheap BUT the big thing was 12 years later the same mechanics were still there, Shane is still there (I actually had Mike as my service writer this time) and I felt comfortable with their work and their findings. The results are my Pilot rides a lot smoother, runs a little better and DOES NOT drip oil on my driveway. My only negative to add is they don't work on anything but Hondas and I still have to find a reputable mechanic for my F150, but honestly that is probably a good negative to have.

I took my 1991 Acura NSX to AutoWave for a comprehensive Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) and follow-up repairs, and I couldn't be more pleased with their level of expertise and service.Mike and Shane, the father-and-son co-owners, have an exceptional depth of knowledge when it comes to Acura, Honda, and especially NSX models. They conducted a meticulous inspection, uncovering critical issues that previous Acura dealerships missed. Thanks to their thorough approach, I was able to proactively address a number of critical issues that could have led to costly repairs down the line but would have otherwise gone unnoticed.What sets AutoWave apart is their expertise and service quality, which far surpasses what Acura service centers offer. Unlike dealerships, which can be limited by corporate policies and technician turnover, AutoWave brings decades of hands-on experience with NSXs and other Acura/Honda models, ensuring that every detail is properly diagnosed and addressed.They also have a strong supply chain and deep industry connections, knowing exactly where to source even rarer parts. Whether it's a discontinued OEM component or a highly specific repair, they have the knowledge and network to track down what’s needed without unnecessary delays.While AutoWave’s pricing is on the premium end, what you get in return is uncompromising quality, honesty, and precision work. They take no shortcuts, ensuring repairs are done properly the first time. Mike and his team are also very direct in their communication, telling you exactly what needs to be fixed and why, without pushing unnecessary services.One area where I think AutoWave could improve is in translating their deep mechanical expertise into layman’s terms. Because Acura, Hondas and NSXs are second nature to Mike, I sometimes found it challenging to grasp the level of detail involved in protecting the car’s mechanical integrity. However, this doesn’t take away from the fact that they are an honest and capable shop, performing only the necessary work and ensuring the car is in top condition.Since the repairs, my car's performance has improved, with smoother drivability and better reliability. If you're looking for specialized, expert-level care for Acura and Hondas, AutoWave is one of the best in the business. They offer peace of mind, unparalleled technical knowledge, and a commitment to doing the job right.

As their business name says, they are indeed Honda and Acura specialists. In 2011, they installed a supercharger on my Civic SI (pictured). Man, what a fun car! Mike and Shane are extremely knowledgeable and will steer you the right way. I recently took my new SI back for a tune and as usual, it was a seemless experience.

Max Avilés

1715052498

I contacted Autowave for work on my Honda Hybrid. I chose them after having posted in the Fountain Valley Community Forum asking for local recommendations and SO many people highly recommended them. Also, I know that work on hybrids can be tricky and you really want someone who knows all the ins and outs.Mike took a long look at my car and its issues. He really took his time both talking to me to see what happened and very thoroughly doing his best to diagnose the problem. He even contacted the Honda dealership to pick their minds.In the end, the problem was not fixable, but rather than have me waste a ton of money finding that out, he was up front and honest about it and saved me a lot of time, money, and trouble. I really appreciated everything he did as well as his integrity.A reliable, honest mechanic is hard to find, and I definitely recommend these guys!

I had the pleasure of doing business with Shane and Mike, owners of Autowave, in HB. I took my 2007 CRV with 199K miles to them for an engine light. After a thorough inspection, it needed a lot of work. They did a great job, and my car feels like a newer car!! I had a very memorable experience.Thanks Autowave

I was recommended this shop by a friend who has trusted some of his amazing high-end builds to Mike and Shane. My clutch went out on a Sunday night and they were able to get me on the road with a new one very fast and went above and beyond with service. Very satisfied to have found a new trusted shop to work as the service was exceptional.

janine landstedt

1706219224

Mike got me in for an oil change right before they closed on a Friday. They also let me know I didn’t have any torn boots as the dealership had suggested I had which saved me big $$. I like that they only work on Hondas/Acuras as I take good care of my baby and want to make sure others take care of him also. They seem to know their stuff so this might be my new spot for future needs. Prices seem fair too.

Jennifer Fuentes

1704770057

I'm retired from American Honda and I hate to admit it, but taking my car to a dealership is expensive. I know this hurts my passion and support for Honda. But now I need to be realistic on how my money is spent.Ironically one of my old co-workers suggested AutoWave to me. And while I was talking to my friend (who recommended me) this morning at Donut Derelicts, about my experience at AutoWave, another friend overheard, and he's going to take his Honda to AutoWave for service.The pricing I paid for my service was well in line with what I expected. I have a 2021 CR-V.However I do wish I could make an appointment.

Amazing professionalism and expertise. Fixed an elusive electrical issue on my Element that three other shops in SD gave three different diagnoses for.

CEL off and smog passed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in SoCal with a Honda.

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.

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.

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.

Been taking my Acura TL to Autowave for 17 years and counting. Owners Shane and Mike and their expert crew do an outstanding job. They are honest, knowledgeable, and never overcharge. I bought my TL new back in 2006 and have only let Autowave service it, and it currently has 342,000 miles and runs beautifully. Highly recommend for excellent Honda/Acura service.

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!

Reed Reimers

1659655152

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"!!

Russell W.

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.

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

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
