Review №1

I brought my 740 due to grinding which I thought was my transmission, turns out the last person who did my brakes neglected to secure retaining bolts properly. A lesser mechanic wouldve fabricated an issue to confirm my suspicion- no such trickery here.Israel was professional and personable, open to answering questions and giving advice on courses of action. He caught issues that other mechanics neglected to mention, and took care of it within a couple business days. His pricing is reasonable, too- didnt break the bank, but you know youre paying for quality.

I take my bmw here. The service is always warrantied, and done right. I took my mothers car in for service recently and once again a fair price and perfect work with a warranty. They do everything from body work, paint engine drive train. AC and electrical. Fair prices and full insurance work if needed. Havent had any problems. Very happy, i got lucky when I found this place.

The best mechanic shop for Volvos ever! Been going here to service all my Volvo vehicles for years! Israel is a great, honest, and dependable man who definitely cares about his work, and making sure your vehicle is serviced correctly! Wouldnt go anywhere else 👌🏾

I bring all my Volvos here for everything they needs more than 3 years.Isreal is the best and same to his team.They always try to fix the issue first if the problem still there then they will let you know at the first time after that they will try their best to explain to you why they need to replace the part instead of fix it.Save my money all the time!Thank you guys!! BTW, Thx for the car wash every time!My Volvos are from 1997 to 2016. Which means they can help people fix p80, p2 and p3 Volvos. Also, they can help you do more about older or newer Volvo for sure because Isreal and his team were work at Volvo dealer before.It’s a good thing to have a professional team like S.O.S Automotive for all Volvo owners based on our maintenance fee is not that kind of cheap compared with Japanese brands.I definitely 5 stars highly recommend this shop!

I’ve taken my 2010 5 series here multiple times each time I have had a great experience. Good work and usually in a timely manner. Only have had 1 issue with them but other than that good every time

My family took both our Audis here several times for many years and like clockwork, a few days after getting the cars back, something major would be wrong with them. We were told our engine mounts had completely eroded and the engine was free floating in the front of the car. We were told it would be thousands of dollars to fix, etc. We just took the car to Audi of West Covina and found out there is NOTHING wrong with the engine mounts! Ive lost thousands of dollars to these guys. Total scam artists. Another example, I took my car here to get the timing chain repaired and got the car back with a horrendous oil leak that was not there before. Took my car here again to get the axle fixed and not 24 hours later, many alerts popped up on my dash. It took a week and a half to get the car back after they completely screwed the electronics in the car. One alert light has still not gone off and of course it costs 4K to fix something they broke!!! Please take your car somewhere else. Biggest regret is trusting anything these guys say. Sweet talking scam artists.

Fantastic alternative to high-priced, often questionable dealership repair shops. Isreal and his stuff are friendly, trustworthy, professional, and above all friendly. Since discovering his shop I have taken all of my foreign cars, my familys cars, and recommended the shop to friends for repair. With the inclusion of their new state-of-the-art collision repair facility, S.O.S is truly a one stop shop for your automotive needs at a very fair price.

There are no words to describe perfectionist you just have to witness it... Witnessing the all star team that Isreal has assemble in action is Amazing to see them take my Audi W12 motor complete apart and put it back together and a year later for her to run so smooth... SPEECHLESS with that being said I truly believe it would be very advantageous for anyone to bring there Audi,BMW,Volvo or any car for that matter if they want the truth. S.O.S Automotive is simply THE TRUTH...!!!

Wonderful people! I went to have a mystery sound solved, and it was solved. There was a once over given to my C70, and I am thankful. I will always come here for service, oil changes and anything that my vehicle may need! I honestly can recommend every Volvo owner come here to have your Volvo serviced.

Theres good reason nearly every review is at least 4 stars and 5-- SOS Automotive is simply the best specialty auto repair near and far. We have two Volvos: a 1981 Volvo GL and 2005 Volvo S40. Because of this shops excellent and long years experience at their trade, even our 1981 runs smoothly and Israel does not use rebuilt or previously used parts for it; if he cannot locate a part, he wont compromise quality and somehow has located parts which I greatly appreciate. They are considerate of every customers needs, dont inflate part prices or pad a work order with unnecessary adjustments, and even repairs other shops nearby couldnt do recommended them. Excellent business that appreciates being a go-to auto repair not just for your money. And the cars come back all clean!

Review №25

I own 6 cars and drive all of them frequently so inevitably there is often a car in the shop. I can honestly say that I have never experienced a shop that prides themselves and holds themselves accountable like SOS and specifically Israel. I had SOS do an evaluation for a car that I was planning on purchased. Even though they missed one thing that turned out having to be repaired, Israels commitment to take care of it and make it right was so far superior to anything that I have ever experienced or anything that I could wish for. Above and beyond doesnt even come close. I only wish they were in Oregon!! I will definitely have them check any other cars I buy in the future. A million thanks!!

SOS Automotive is the best place in the the San Gabriel valley to get your car service and repair. Theyre very professional with a vast expertise in BMW, VOLVO, MERCEDES, VW and they have very reasonable prices. I prefer to have them work on my Volvo XC90 than the dealer.
