If you own a Nissan (Infiniti), Toyota (Lexus) or Honda (Acura) - then look no further for your auto servicing needs! I've been using Nima and the crew over at Corner3 Garage for several years for all of my cars as well as my extended family who actually drive down from LA to get their car serviced here!
Steve (the co-owner) is a Master Nissan certified technician and also very knowledgeable about all the brands they service. This is also why they limit themselves to the 3 brands, as they take a lot of pride in their work.
Nima (the other co-owner) is great to work with. In my experience with him, he's always been 100% thorough and honest. He understands that trust is what brings people back. If they find something wrong with your car, he always takes the time to explain whether or not you need to fix it right away, or if you can wait (especially if it's something expensive). They also use genuine manufacturer parts for their repairs, and they feel very strongly about using cheap aftermarket parts.
These guys are so good, that when I bought a new car, I limited my choices to the three brands above because I wanted to make sure I could still continue getting service from them!
The only gripe I would have is their old location in Lake Forest was so much more convenient for me, but their new location in Laguna Hills (near Best Buy on Lake Forest) is definitely a huge upgrade for the crew and well deserved :). Only a little extra driving, but 100% worth it!

Corner 3 Garage did a wonderful job. They're very honest. The prices were very reasonable. We were thrilled with them. I found out the work I had done elsewhere 4 years ago wasn't done. My car runs so much nicer now, they did a really nice job. They've very honest and very reasonable-the most reasonable I've found. I thought I needed a little bit of work done and he said, "No, you don't need that." That was really a great thing! They saved me money and they charged me less than other places that I called on Angie's List and went to. The other places did good work but this guy was really honest and up-front. I like that. The car runs so much better. I didn't have to wait for it. It only took a couple of hours to do this work. They ordered the part ahead of time so when I went in there it only took an hour and a half, something like that. It was ready ahead of time. I can't complain about anything. Anything I asked them they answered honestly and I was amazed. He gave me different ideas of what I can do and exactly what I needed. So, I liked that.

At least they were honest w/me. They could have stiffed me with a whole new transmission and I would have not known any differende. I will be seeing them fro any future woek, you can count on it.

This is the first time I service my car in a center other than the dealer since I bought it. I required to do the 30 K mile service, which is a main service for my Toyota Corolla 2007. Nema was very detailed explaining me what needed to be done in the service, the time required and the approximate cost. Everything was done as expected and my car feels as the first day I bought it. In fact it feels better than when I served it in the Toyota dealer. The car feels smooth and breaks responsive, all the parts are original Toyota. They took the time to explain what are the critical points that I should control in future services, something that never happened with the Toyota dealer. It dint feel that they were trying to sell you unnecessary services but to keep your car in the best condition.

I have brought my Nissan to Corner 3 garage a number of times over the last few years for oil changes, maintenance and brake service. For the last 20 years, I had many experiences getting ripped-off by various car shops. I am so happy that Corner 3 is a place where I can take my car to with confidence that I am being dealt with honestly and fairly. I am so happy that I can take my car to a shop with confidence that I am being dealt with honestly and fairly. I cannot recommend them enough.

I spoke with the shop over the phone, it was the weekend when I called and they were too busy to get me in the same day. The problem that I was concerned about was a noise coming from the wheels. They took the time to analyze and discuss the problem over the phone, they advised me to have the car looked at as soon as possible due to safety issues, but they said either by them or someone else if another shop can get me in sooner. I made an appointment for the following week, as I don't drive the car daily. I arrived thirty minutes late for my appointment, and they were obviously very busy. Just about every car in the shop was a Nissan, which was quite reassuring as that is the same make as my car. They immediately took the time to go for a test drive with me rather then me leaving the car for the weekend as i had expected to do, and they spent about twenty minutes discussing the problem with me. We decided that the problem is something that likely needs to be monitored closely but may not need immediate repair considering the extremely low milage that I am putting on the car, although it is a high milage car. The problem may be that the brakes are getting low, and I wish that I had insisted on a full brake inspection, which they offered but explained that it was not a free service, although they described the details of the brake inspection and pointed out the difference between their version and what some other shops may miss. Such as a physical measurement of the pads and rotors. In retrospect, i wonder if their ultra low pressure approach was a brush off since they were so busy or if they just felt that the noise wasn't of much concern. I think it's more likely to be the second of the two, as the noise was not reproducible and they warned me that if the brakes started squeaking consistently, then it's time for the brakes to be looked at. I feel pretty good about them, i will definitely bring my car back again in the future.

I have been going to Corner 3 Garage for about a year now and all of my experiences have been positive. Nima is the guy who does the estimates, and Steve does most of the technical work. They are both excellent.

Nima always takes his time to explain what's going on with you car and gives you options (e.g. he'll let you know which parts are critical to replace and which parts are optional to replace).

Steve is a Nissan Master Technician, but he's also an expert in Lexus, Toyota, and Nissan. I really trust these guys to do competent work at a fair price and would highly recommend them.
