“My wife and I have been taking all of our vehicles to Hodges Automotive since we moved up to the Lompoc Valley in 2005. Jim and his team have always done a complete and thorough job for us. He lets you know up-front what needs to be done and what it will cost. If there are any uncertainties about the job that cannot be costed out until the job gets going, he makes sure that we understand this and once he gets clarity on any of these uncertainties, provides an updated job cost. We highly recommend Hodges Automotive for all your auto repair needs here in Lompoc and the surrounding area.”

—Ed B. and Julie M., Lompoc

“Always great customer service at Hodges. Excellent repair work EVERY time. Just had a replacement part fail. Jim re-accomplished the repair (parts and labor) at no charge with no hassle. They are fair for the quality work performed. And Jim stands by all work performed.

I am also comfortable sending my wife to Hodges when I am out of town. Jim provides honest recommendations for needed repairs. So no worries about getting ripped off. If they find a leak or other additional needed maintenance, they call for authorization before performing the extra work. And they are fine with declining additional repairs. But at least you know you have something that may need attention in the future.

Best of all, no pressure; ever!

Thank you Jim and the Hodges team for years of great service!”

“Highly professional front desk! They squeezed me in for a smog with a very busy schedule. They were there to help me! Very fast and efficient service! Will definitely come back! Thank you!”

“I’m retired AF, and have brought my vehicles (Honda, Acura and Nissan) to Jim at Hodge’s Automotive since 2004.

PROS: Jim has integrity, is professional, and he and his team are very friendly. Service is excellent, and on the one occasion I had a problem w/ some work performed, Jim took care of the re-work w/ no hassle or extra costs. Scheduling is efficient

CONS: Get the feeling they could use another full-time employee”

—Rich S., Santa Maria

“I’ve been a customer of Hodges for at least 10 yrs. Jim is always willing to work with you and will do whatever he can to accomdate a customers needs (pay over the phone, lock keys in car for late pickup etc.).

My personal experience, he’s personally dropped my off AND picked me up from my house. He’s come to my house to diagnose a problem before advising me to tow the vehicle to his shop. He’s kept a car and personally driven it for a few days to determine exactly the problem as it was an intermittent issue.

If those things aren’t enough, he and his staff are friendly AND he offers Triple A members a discount!

I highly recommend Jim and the staff at Hodges Automotive.”

“My car broke down in Los Alamos and I called AAA. They directed me to Hodges, where I left my car overnight. Jim called me the next day asking what was wrong. He took a look at the car, determined what was wrong and called me with an estimate. I live in San Luis Obispo so did not have much choice in the matter so allowed him to go ahead and fix the car. He gave me $50 off for being a AAA member, had all the parts in stock and alerted me of issues (not needing fixing) that the car had. He was very professional and the pricing was fair. If I lived in Lompoc I would be a Hodges customer. I was very pleased with the quick service, Jim’s professionalism and the fair price. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Hodges Automotive.”
