Per the other Google reviewers, Quan was highly professional and delivered on competitive price and service time. Will be bringing all my repairs and maintenance to him for my 2006 Lexus IS 250.Never felt pressured or upsold on additional repairs I didnt need. Glad to find a reliable local mechanic to LA since moving here 3 months ago.

Awesome awesome place. They were courteous, gave me an estimate, promised me if they finished the job faster than what the book states, then they would adjust the time. They stuck with their word and did an amazingly fast job while reducing my price from the estimate.

I came for the brake and light inspection and had a fantastic experience! The owner was very through and explained the process to me clearly before and throughout the process. By informing me of the process up front there were no surprises, and although I didnt pass either inspection, I left with a clear understanding of why and what needed to be done to pass. I wasnt able to afford the work this month, but will sure be back next month to finish up and get my certificates!

Legit, Honest guy. Lays out the plan so you know whats going to happen. Very friendly and makes the experience memorable! Drove quite a few miles to get here but time and money was well spent!

Run fast! And dont look back. This guy will rob your money and tell you hes an honest guy with a straight face.Was quoted $70 over the phone for a brake and lamp inspection. Actually paid over twice that amount for 15 minutes of adjustments because theres actually nothing wrong with my car. He actually wanted $170 but gave me a $10 discount because hes such a nice guy.When you walk into his office, he will tell you that it costs $70 (must pay up front) but if you need to adjust your brakes or lights it will cost more.Surprise! After a 2 minute test drive around the block, he claimed my lights were aimed too high (which its not) and my brakes were a fingernails width off (which its not).Dont ask me why I paid this crook. I guess I like to get robbed.So the technician adjusted both headlights with a twist of a screwdriver ($20 x2= $40). When I asked him why he charges $40 for something that takes a minute to do? He replies by saying why does a dentist charge you $200 to pull your teeth? What a condescending prick!He spent another 10 minutes adjusting the rear brakes ($25 x2= $50). Im not sure what exactly he did to adjust it because I was in the office questioning the shops ridiculous repair charges.$70 brake and lamp inspection$40 lamp adjustment$50 brake adjustment$3 lamp certificate$3 brake certificateOh and he charges extra 3% if you pay by card (visa only)When I got my car back, it drove exactly the same before I brought it in for inspection. Thats because theres nothing wrong with my car and no real work was done.Just stay far, far away from this business. The owner is sleazy. I guarantee you he will require you to pay for a lamp adjustment and brake adjustment (or whatever deficiency adjustments he can conjure up) in order to get your certificates. And if you elect to get your adjustments elsewhere, hes already got your $72 up front and will charge you $72 again to issue your certificates. You have been warned.$160 lesson learned. Never ever go to any business where they demand the full payment up front, before any work has even begun. Never ever!

Dont beware! Very good service! I came to A&M Auto center for brake and light inspection because it was close to my house. It took them 35 minutes to check everything and give me sertification. Fast and professional!In the process of the inspection the mechanic (Michael) found out some other problems to fixing up. He gave me option to repair with him or someone else. I decided to shop around and was back in 2 days. I remained very satisfied. Thanks A&M!

My check engine light lit up on my Honda Accord and I took my car here instead of the dealer. Stacey did an awesome job of explaining what the problem could be, troubleshooting it, and fixing the problem for what Im sure was much cheaper than it would have been at the dealer. Ill definitely be back when I have another issue!

Im not a car expert and all I got was an oil change, but Ill definitely be coming back and will update my review accordingly.I was helped by A & M Auto Repair & Service and they are all extremely friendly. I find other mechanics can have a tendency to talk to you like youre a moron (in fact, the mechanic next door did just this when I spoke to him about an oil change first) but A & M Auto Repair & Service was friendly through and through.They made it clear to me that they would do the oil change, and IF I WANTED, they would check for any other problems. I said I only wanted the oil change today as I had to leave for Oshawa soon, and that was that.My car was done in a timely fashion and as the previous reviewer said, I did not feel ripped off or have any issues with the work.Again, do keep in mind I just got an oil change, but for the price I paid and the vibe I got at the place, Ill certainly be coming back here.

Buyer beware!!! This place is like one of those places you see on the news undercover. He gets you in the door with a cheap price and then screws you with no vaseline. Do not do business here unless you want to be ripped off. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Enjoy the $170 you got from me. I hope this review costs you more than the $170 you ripped me off for.

Review №21

This place is absolutely terrible! If I can give it zero stars I would.We went in for the brake and light inspection certificate. We agreed to get the inspection but we were not aware he was going to charge us over 100 just to adjust one light signal and the license plate light. After they fixed that they proceed to the brakes and said the measurements were wrong and to fix would charge over 200 so at that point we said no that we would get it fixed with our mechanic so we came back the following day and he charged us an extra 35 to redo the inspection. Then he took it for a spin and came back and said there was something new wrong with the brakes and said he would not tell us what was wrong and that when ever we got it fixed to come redo the inspection. Even though we had our mechanic adjust what he said and even bought new brake shoes. Bottom line DONT GO HERE!!! The owner or whatever he is, is an a****** tries to get as much money out of you as possible instead go to Hobart auto shop much cheaper and nicer staff!!!!!!!

Review №29

This guy (Owner) changes his mind about the the price he gives you. the owner of this place charged me twenty five dollars per headlight light bulb to adjusted I didnt put it on the right way, my thands are to big, $50 dollars was lot of money fora 2 simple adjustments. but I told him go ahead and do it, After he had someone working on my car he calls me to his office to tell me that the prize is $70 stead of $50 Plus the $72.50 for the Inspection which I was ok to pay at first but not after he changed his price on the adjustment Im not gonna call him any names Ill let all of you be the judge.

This owner is a thief and a russian spy in the US, he steals peoples money by faking a fault as to make a test fail. i went there with a car certified by lexus the manufactural only to tell me a perfectly working light need re-adjustment for $40 fee which i declined and he decided to fail the light test for that, DMV should revoke his license to operate and he should be investigated by FBI as a russian spy collecting citizens data

Dont go there! The guy is a crook! On 6 month old rotors and break pads thicker than 7mm he said the car does not pass the break check and offered me replacement service of 4 rotors and break pads for $ 800.Also he said my headlights are not adjusted. They were adjusted at the body shop as a matter of fact and he charged me an extra $ 40 ($ 20 for each side) The technician actually adjusted just one of them - I was looking at him but charged me for 2. The adjustment takes a screwdriver and 10 min. They charge you an hour labor. Most places the Headlight adjustment is included in the $ 30 DMV certificate.Tell all your friends to stay away from this place !!!================================================== ==========Youre not coming!
