About
About Ironwood Lane
An independent shop in Huntington Beach, here since 2004.
Our story
Ironwood Lane is a family-run, three-bay shop on the west side of Huntington Beach. Ray Alvarez opened it in 2004 after twelve years as a dealership technician.
Most of the cars that come through are neighbors' daily drivers, plus a handful of work trucks that local contractors need back on the road fast.
The way we work is simple: we show you what we found, tell you what can wait, and give you a written estimate before we pick up a wrench.

How we work
What to expect from us
Tell us what's going on
Call or send a request with your car and what you're noticing. We'll confirm a time to look at it.
Inspection and written estimate
We find the cause and give you a written estimate for parts and labor before any work starts, as California law requires.
Your OK, then the work
Nothing is done without your authorization. If the job needs more than the estimate, we ask you first.
Itemized invoice
Parts and labor are listed separately on your invoice, and you can ask for your old parts back.
California: written estimate first
Under California's Automotive Repair Act, a repair shop must give you a written estimate for parts and labor and get your authorization before starting work. If the job turns out to need more than the estimate, the shop has to get your OK before going over it. You can also ask for your replaced parts back when you authorize the work.
