About Sully's Auto Repair

Robert Sullivan opened Sully's Auto Repair in Huntington Beach in 2003, giving this family-owned shop two decades to build a loyal base. Owner Sullivan himself is a 20-year veteran of the auto industry, and his ASE-certified team holds current training on modern vehicle technology. With 73 reviews averaging 4.8 stars, Sully's has become a trusted name not just in Huntington Beach but across surrounding Orange County communities. The shop handles domestic and import vehicles alike, serving everyone from daily commuters in standard sedans to drivers of high-performance sports cars and work-ready trucks and RVs.

What separates Sully's from the average corner garage is their commitment to honest service before anything else. Every repair comes backed by a 12-month, 12,000-mile nationwide warranty, giving customers real protection rather than vague promises. The team offers same-day service for most jobs and provides complimentary drop-off within a five-mile radius for those who cannot easily bring a vehicle in during business hours. Rather than upselling unnecessary work, technicians discuss the actual problem, explain options, and let vehicle owners make informed decisions about their cars and budgets.

When SeanColleen Manese brought in a vehicle throwing a P0420 code, most shops immediately recommended catalytic converter replacement. Sully's diagnosed the underlying issue as a faulty O2 sensor and fixed it for roughly one-tenth the price other shops quoted. That kind of targeted troubleshooting earns trust. Longtime customer Kenneth Henderson describes Robert offering maintenance suggestions without any sales pressure, and honoring written estimates exactly as given. One reviewer noted bringing a pre-purchase inspection to Sully's before buying from a Beach Boulevard dealer, only to discover the vehicle was not roadworthy, confirming the shop prioritizes accuracy over making a sale.

What Customers Say

Five-star reviewers consistently praise Sully's honest diagnostic approach and fair pricing, with multiple customers noting repairs that cost a fraction of what other shops quoted. One reviewer described Robert and his crew listening carefully before recommending targeted fixes rather than expensive replacements. The sole negative review cites frustration over unresolved issues after significant expense, creating a clear contrast between customer experiences that hinges largely on communication expectations.
