Provided incorrect information to increase the price. Was charged just under $500 for a part (Starter for a 2015 VW Jetta), the one they replaced it with is like $75 at Oreilly Auto Parts. Told me my battery was dead as well and needed to be replaced, I brought my own battery and took the old core to be tested. Tested fine. In the future I would go to Cals auto right around the corner.

Louis and the gang are great! Helpful informative and fair. They give you a good breakdown of what your car needs at an honest and fair price. I will take my car to them every time because they do good work and they are good people!

Always fast and precise. Luis and Francisco are friendly and reliable pros with great prices. No reason to go to the dealership. Close to freeways easy to get to. I LOVE this shop.

The best shop you could ever go to. They treat you with respect and patients. They are professionals on their jobs. I have been going to there shop for about 5 years and realized it is about time that how good they are at there job. It is the best shop in LA.

Best place in town to get your car service

Went hear was directed to speak with Fransisco. I told him what the issue was but he charged me $30 to look at my car. I think it was a fee he made up. He gave me a price and I told him no thank you it’s too much. Fransisco asked me “did you get you’re stimulus check and said that’s how his friend is paying for his car. How professional. After everything he told me he filled my car up with water. So kind

The guys do gr8 work and they go beyond the services to make your car run properly!

I highly recommend California Automotive . They were very helpful and they went out of their way to ensure I was completely satisfied as I walk out, I was helped by Francisco, who was kind enough to go through the process with me and ensure a was happy and satisfied with the repair. I will definitely return in the future for any repairs I might need. Highly recommended this place.

Sammy is the only guy I took my crashed 91 Toyota Celica to that didnt try to rip me off. And thank god because I had to use my last AAA tow to get to him. I thought my axle was bent and he quoted me just $100 for labor. (The next best quote I got was $345 labor) and then whatever the price of a new axel was on top of it. (Was looking close to $250 all in with Sammy)He then called me to let me know it was all done and that it was just my steering rod that was bent, not the axle and so it ended up being just $100 for parts AND labor!!! I then asked him to take a look at my death trap brakes and an electrical issue I had with my alternator and he did. He fixed it all for a grand total of $165 out the door.... I couldnt believe it. I have finally found a new honest and very reasonable guy in LA (which has been VERY tough since Leos Automotive on Pico closed down) this guy knows how to do business, how to make his customers happy and how to keep them returning and recommending to all their friends because Sammy is what every unsure person with car troubles and trust issues needs. My friend (I wont use your name Rashi.... Whoops!) got me in contact with Sammy after using him himself and only had great things to say about him. Now that I have had a similar experience, Ill be recommending everyone I know that is having car trouble, to him.Im not going anywhere else now and so all you $345 and above mechanics can GFY or at least GFEO.....

Excelent

Very friendly staff and good service, honesty about everything ...
