Customer Review
★★★★★
I found John when I first moved to SLO after a few visits to other mechanic shops whose business plan is to charge every customer as much as possible with the most profitable repair whether needed or not. John is the polar opposite of that. John is truly a good guy wanting to help get you back up and running the best possible way for you. I am confident Reeves will fix only the issue that I need, no upsell. The funny thing the others don’t realize is that by doing that he has a customer base that is loyal. Honesty and integrity is not just a slogan it's their underlying business principle. So if you are a student on a limited budget and don't want to worry about being over charged or if you are a long time resident that has experienced those other shops and have been looking for a fair, super qualified mechanic shop look no further.

When driving around town, your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas. All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At Reeves Auto Repair in San Luis Obispo, we want to help you get the best air quality in your vehicle, but first, we want to explain the process of where this dirty air is going.

We are frequently asked if it's okay to switch between oils, and how you know what is okay to use? At Reeves Auto Repair in San Luis Obispo, CA we're here to help you answer that question. When it comes to engine oil, the answer to this question can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be!
