I’ve been coming to Independent Tire for a couple years now. I appreciate how they explain (in layman’s terms) how the car functions and why certain services are necessary. I’ve gone to other mechanics who have literally laughed at me when I’ve asked questions and treated me like the dumb female who doesn’t know anything about cars. Not this place. They are honest, they are thorough and don’t pressure you into anything you don’t need. I am happy to support their business as the customer service is always top notch.
The company is willing to do what it take to make the customer happy.
I have gone to these guys for service on our cars for years. Feel well taken care of here and feel theyre very honest. I was once given an estimate based on a quoted price for a part my car needed, and when it turned out the quoted price was lower than it should have been, they still honored the estimate we had agreed to. Will be going to these guys for as long as Im living in the area.
The staff was super friendly and inviting. I had a tire that needed some patching and they were able to do it the same day. They gave me a break down of my car even though I came in for 1 tire. Very thorough and genuine. Thank you so much team!
Decent price wait was a lil too long for one single wheel I didn’t bring that car.
Theyre an authorized interstate battery dealer but didnt have the battery for my vehicle in stock
Drop in and asked if they could help repair a tire that got a screw in it. Got help immediately. Professional behavior and made me feel welcome.Good pricingI asked about a brake fluid flush cost and they had already checked the fluid and told it does not need change yet. Thats very honest.
Honest and good at what they do. Service writers are quick and make every effort to communicate. I used to go to Globe! Not any more! So glad I found this place.
Great service neighbors on Nextdoor raved about this place.
Joseph and his crew are the best. jose
We’ve been going to independent repair and tire pros for 20 years. While we’ve spent a lot of money with them, they are fair and we get great comfort that our vehicles are safe and reliable. They always explain everything clearly and we trust them to do a good job.
Came here with flat...left with a smile
The staff was professional, kind and efficient! Will be back for future tire problems as needed!
This is one of the very very rare and few places in this time in age where you go to a shop to fix your tire and they treat you very generously with consideration, kindness most of all with heart I’m thankful for the experience because we are truly lacking a human kindness these days and it feels Amazing knowing there’s still people as such....out of all places in a car and tire repair shop....so I just wanna say I really appreciate your generosity and kindness for doing a good deed it will definitely not go unnoticed God bless you and your business and your workersThank you 🙏
I was looking for an auto repair shop and found the one for me!The staff is friendly, pricing fair with a clean and comfortable waiting area. They even have a high-end massage chair machine. Kind of a fun addition.Mark B worked on my car and came out to talk to me several times with some very minor issues. He even suggested I get a tuner lug nut key that if I didnt have in my car could be problematic with a roadside repair due to the type of tires on my car. Great place. Obviously they strive for a loyal clientele.ri
Big Shout Out to Independent Auto Repair and Tommy! This shop is easily the best auto repair in the South Bay. Its so easy to not trust those working on your car. Its something I constantly am aware of, but with Independent Repair & Tire Pros - I trust. This is such a relieving feeling to know they have my best interest in mind. How do I know? Well, one year ago I got new brakes at Pep Boys. They continued to screech. After 3x going back, I took my car here and they gave me a free inspection and gave my a step-by-step of what I need to tell Pep Boys to do to fix it. I took my car back to a different Pep Boys, gave the rundown, and it was fixed! So, when recently I got a free dealer inspection from the Toyota dealer, I took the recommendations and called around. Without telling them the other quotes, Independent Auto Repair beat everyone!! There was also mentions like, Well double check that and if its not needed we wont do it. Its quotes like these that added to my trust. I took my car back and am HIGHLY SATISFIED! Tommy was my lead mechanic and was super solid with communication, added a complementary inspection, and my car is back to perfect again. Instead of telling me I had to change my shocks, he said theyre pretty good but recommended to continue monitoring. Its these little things that will make me return and tell all my friends and family to take their vehicles here when needed. Why? (1) Price (2) Trust in their Expertise / No Rip Off (3) Customer Service, Communication, and General Experience. Yall Rock! Thank you for being a reliable, trustworthy auto repair shop (one of the last around!). And THANK YOU TOMMY!!
Grat experience. Prompt courteous and caring, wouldnt go anywhere else.
These folks are wonderful! We were traveling from San Francisco to Newport last week when our dashboard lit up and told us we had a low pressure tire. We pulled off the 405 and had no idea where to go to have it checked. Google maps showed us that Independent Repair and Tire was close so we found them. Even though they were booked solid with appointments, the tech came, took our car and thoroughly tested everything. Yes it was a false alarm but now we had peace of mind to continue. Thank goodness for the kindness and professionalism of this team. And the lady in the waiting room with us was a regular who was also singing their praises. You can trust these folks.
We had 2 nails in the back tire and called this place and made appointment. My wife went there and could not stop praising them. She said very punctual, clean and professional. Being local, they charged NOTHING for fixing the tire. The other site in MB I have gone before quoted me $32 the last time and ended up charging me more than $50 stating something stupid about the tire (same tire they fixed here). Highly recommend this place.
This is the best place to take care of your car. The guys here are friendly, educated and honest. Plus, the massage chair is amazing.
Went in to do an alignment and balance tires. One of the technicians/mechanics (Mark) was very informative, helpful, and all around provided great customer service. It was clear he wasn’t out to make me spend more money than I needed to. In doing so, I believe they look after the customer instead of just seeing us as money. Will definitely return!
Unbelievably great! Courteous, personable, and knowledgeable! And, most of all honest! They exceeded my greatest expectations! So Happy I went here!
Friendly and honest service, Ill be bringing my vehicle here from now on.Updated review: I love this place! They are straightforward and effective, with great service. Cant recommend them enough!
I have been coming to this shop for a little over a year and while the work has been historically okay - I have some concerns.I most likely will start looking for a new shop as my requests to keep original parts have not been delivered on.Additionally I have found staff to be incredibly rude to my significant other - which took me a few visits to gauge given that they have always been great with me. He is often on the receiving end of condescension and frankly I just dont want to deal with it anymore.
Thanks for your help guys! Quick and professional service! Perfect communication! Highly recommend for local people! Good Luck!
Fabulous service as usual. Installed 2 new front tires for my 2015 Tesla Model S P90D. It was all done while I waited in the lobby. Thanks, Mike for scheduling me so quickly.
If you dont know much about cars, go to independent, they are the most honest shop Ive ever been to. This is the one, the one place where I feel 100% confident that I can trust. Last week I tested the Honda Dealership Service Center and they literally lied to me and tried to get $3000 out of me for repairs that were not needed. I was a mechanic in the US Marines and I knew what was wrong with it. Turns out the tow truck driver and the outstanding professionals at Independent knew too. The wonderful souls who work here are here to help and a side bonus? They have the most lovely bathroom in the entire auto repair industry, you may laugh, but check it out.
From the minute I walked in the door, I was treated as if I was the only one who mattered! My car received GREAT service, and the recommendations that were made for additional service could MOSTLY be done, at this shop. I am putting off that steam-cleaning of the engine, and I finally got my radio repaired at a shop that was recommended, so all is well, and I am ready to have my air conditioner serviced NEXT time!
I would highly recommend this place. Independent Repairs is trustworthy, honest and fast. I recently took in my car that was on its last leg. Instead of telling me to get a bunch of repairs done that would bring them lots of money, they encouraged me to junk the car and only charged me $35 for the inspection. I have been here several times and every time it’s a great experience and, again, HONEST.
I went to this car shop a few days ago. I thought I need to replace a timing belt in my Honda Accord 2005 V6 but Mike said it may not be the problem and that he will take a look at it. I agreed on a comprehensive car check up with an oil change. I needed a car for the day to go to work so the shop called for a rental car for me. Later in the day Mike called and told me about all the things, changes, and fixed the car needs. It was A LOT. Pretty much it would cost about $5,000 so I decided not to fix anything and simply get a new car. The next day I returned the rental car but I was told that I had to pay for the rental. I was unpleasantly surprised because I thought the car shop was covering it. I found out that if the repairs are over $400, then they will pay for it. I guess it was lack of communication. If I knew I would have to pay for the car Id have dropped off the car on the following day when I dont work. Anyways, I highly recommend this car shop. I will definitely be back for all my car work.
Fantastic service! These folks plugged a tire for me for free, which I certainly did not expect. Who does anything for free these days?Everything was fast and slick - I was really impressed. Definitely would come again!
Had an issue with a Transmission that was repaired in Seattle and was referred here for my Tire Pros warranty. Mike was awesome and took great care of the Ford Mustang and everything was covered under warranty through the Tire Pros back home. Great Service, Thanks Mike!
Honest and helpful arent usually used to describe car repair shops, but this business definitely is.On two occasions I reached out to Martin Chevrolet in Torrance for work on my Chevy Camaro. They were not only rude on the phone, but worse in person. I left the dealer and luckily found this shop.From the phone interaction to in-person, Independent Repair & Tire Pros were transparent and had my best interest in mind. They have done multiple services on my car and husbands truck. Weve never had issues with anything they repaired/replaced, and better yet, never felt taken or misled.This past week I found myself at the shop again as my engine light came on, they took the vehicle in the next day and diagnosed quickly. I received a call that while they could do the work, I was likely under coverage and better off going to a Chevy dealer. Given their feedback, I contacted GM for warranty details and headed to an authorized dealer that did replace the part for free - saving me quite a bit of money! As dealers tend to do, they suggested additional services. I was able to confidently call and speak with Mike at Independent Repair & Tire pros to talk through whether the Chevy Dealers suggestions made sense and how fair pricing was. He provided unbiased advice and didnt try to do a hard press sale of their services over the dealer. For the reliability in their service and genuine care of their customers, this place will have our repeat and referral business.Avoid the headache of a bad repair shop and check out these guys next time!
Even though this business is not close to where I live, it is worth the drive and being able to set an appointment, and to wait for work to be done (VERY comfortable lounge, coffee and snacks!!!) makes it a better experience all around!
These guys are absolutely the best! Im so glad I found them and never going anywhere else!
Excellent service!!! I went to this place because its nearby and I need to get tire rotation done ASAP preparing for my road trip. I got there and right away was warmly greeted. While the gentleman wrote my RO he quickly asked if I was a local resident in the area. Since I am local, he would do the job with zero charge!!! Amazing! Cant wait to go back for future services.
Been there two times with flat tire on my both cars. Both times I was told that the tire can not be repaired and offered new tires. Both times I went just two blocks down the street and got tires repaired. It appears they make business selling and mounting new tires only. Two times for me is enough.
I have taken my cars to Independent Repair for 10 years. The work is always well done at prices better than dealer prices. They are very patient in explaining repairs and costs-an important fact for seniors like me. They have always had repairs completed as promised. They always contact me before adding work to repair/maintenance order. There staff is efficient and polite. So often, having work on your car is like going to the dentist. NOT so with Independent Repair- Mike and his staff make the experience as pain free as possible, and down right pleasant on those occasions when they save you money dealers charge. My cars have been and will be well cared for with the work at Independent Repair.
Just a little update to below, still love Independent. Theyre extremely helpful even if you decline to actually go through with recommended service (also, theyre supremely honest about what service is actually needed).I’ve brought my BMW in a couple times at this point for various odds and ends. My expectations probably aren’t as high as they should be, because they’ve been consistently exceeded each time. I’m more than anything always impressed by Mike’s scrupulous honesty and excellent expectations management. I’m the kind of person who will put in a silly amount of effort on my own before bringing the car to someone for fear of spending unnecessary money, but Independent is making that attitude hard to justify.
I had a great first impression from the moment I walked in at Independent, and was greeted by Jim, the owner. He is an awesome person, very nice and caring. He heard my needs and assigned the task to his expert staff. I was very satisfied with the final product and will return for more business in the future. I already recommended the business to someone. thank you
Weve been going to Independent for ten years. They are super professional, and always honest. Repairs are done quickly and well. So glad we found them. Does is sound weird to say its enjoyable to go to the repair shop?
Im taking a long road trip over the long holiday weekend through the desert in 100+ degrees and I just wanted to make sure my car was good to go. They looked it over for me free of charge and I only had to have it there for 2 hours.
These folks always take good care of me and my care. Super conscientious. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows. Yesterday, I took a flat tire to them for repair. They acted like they were happy to see me. Offered me cookies and a coffee or soda while I waited and then charged me nothing for the repair and remounting of the tire. That is how you get customer loyalty.
While traveling to Orange County, my wife and I had a flat tire. We were able to get over to Independent Repair and realized the tire needed to be replaced. The entire staff went to work trying to find us the exact tire we needed. They located one in Gardena, at another tire dealer, and gave us the address.It is very rare these days for a business to do whats in the best interest of the customer even if they will not profit from it. I hope those reading this will take the opportunity to visit Independent Repair as they practice real customer service!Thanks Mike and your entire staff for getting us back on the road!
These guys were great. Recommended by AAA and they were effecient, fast, and very courteous.
I bought new tires for my 25 year old Volvo and needed wheel alignment. Ive never been to this shop before but found it very clean, modern, and efficient. My car was done on time as promised and I felt like my old car drove smoother than it did for many years. Great job!
Superior professional repair service. Outstanding, fast, trustworthy. Competent mechanics. Friendly, courteous staff. Competitive prices.Pleasant, positive experience.
My repair was taken care of quickly at the lowest possible cost. They installed just the part I needed and not the next higher assembly. That is why I came here, rather than the dealer.
My auto mechanic of 20 years, The Monkey Wrench, suddenly retired, and I needed a really good, trustworthy replacement. After some research and word-of-mouth recommendations, I visited Jim and his team, with some trepidation. What I found was amazing and admirable. This team knows their stuff completely; works together like a well-oiled machine; and were fun to be with, despite my original anxiety.They took care of my 11-year old Honda Accord Hybrid as well as it has ever been cared for; and were extremely knowledgeable about my other specialty car, a Honda plug-in hybrid. I am confident that I found a capable replacement, and will be coming here with my multiple cars for years to come. Thanks, Team!
Jim, Mike and staff are awesome! They are very honest. Never feel like they will take advantage of my lack of knowlege in car issues. One time the dealer wanted $900 for a service. Instead of even charging me half price, Mike was honest with me and told me that service was not necessary. They compare prices for me and give me the best deal within my budget. Ive been going to them for years because of their integrity and quality service!
Im always impressed, well cared for, and confident that the repairs are done right.
Excellent and fast service! My Broncos rear tires valve stem was leaking and they fixed it in 10 minutes at no charge! They even made sure my spare is inflated properly. Mike, the owner is a great sport. I highly recommend them, I will take my car there for all repair needs in the future.
Great service. Fair price.
This is an upstanding business! Michael, the manager, is very cordial and knowledgeable. They offer very competitive prices. The waiting area is an enjoyable space. You will not be disappointed!!
Customer service is very good but repairs are pricey. Quoted 500 for a battery that didn’t need to be replaced and 1200 for a fuel pump. Same price as dealer but without the dealership perks ( ie loaner car) they do offer a AAA discount for diagnostic services which was nice.
Had a flat tire and was in a bind. Randomly came across this shop and my experience was perfect. They didnt have my tire in stock but ordered it for me on the spot and provided a temporary solution so I could continue on my way. These guys are great!
This is a great automotive repair shop. I highly recommend their professional and skillful attention they take special care of your auto. Their costs are competitive and very fair.
Let, me first start by saying I do not trust mechanics a Ive been ripped off by them numerous times.That having been said, Independent Repair is the only shop I deal with now. They work on my truck, van, my moms car, my sons car, and my wife and daughter;s car too.They do good work, stand behind it and dont sell you unnecessary repairs.Jim, the owner is a very honest down to earth guy. Mike the manager, another good guy.If you need car work done, I recommend this place highly.
Every visit here is a pleasant one. Not easy to say about most auto repair shops. These guys are fast, reasonable, honest and friendly. Its always the right choice.
VERY HONEST. I had a lot of problems with my car other mechanics couldnt fix. This place is able to fix any issue. And they do not try to charge you for non-existing problems like I experiences with other repair shops. Very honest, and their prices are not high. Next time I will go at this place again. And I recommended this business to all my friends.
I found this shop near my office, highly rated. Im often sceptical with ratings, but Im glad I found them. I got work quality and the customer service I did not experienced in many, many years. Its an old fashion American values that are not that common anymore. They got a customer for life, I think.
My wife and I have used Independent Repair for too many years to count. We have always had excellent and honest service, and dealt with friendly faces. They even bent over backwards to repair a part no longer available for one of our old cars; the dealer had simply told us it could not be fixed! Thats the kind of service you can expect from IR.
A car mechanic/shop you can trust!! Ive always gotten the straight news, and even times paid nothing when they havent found a problem I had them check out. They are efficient and friendly and run like a respectful business. Been going there for 11 years with two different cars.
I have found them to be honest and extremely friendly. That degree of honesty and integrity isnt that prevalent in the auto repair industry.
Independent Repair is a very well run and honest repair facility, I manage a large fleet of vans, trucks and motorcycles and Mike always takes great care of us with our four wheeled vehicles, I feel confident in the estimates we receive and we can send our vans out on cross country tours knowing that they are serviced and prepped to the highest standard.It is very difficult to find a facility that does not try to push every possible repair on you, instead Mike gives you the facts and prices and lets you decide what to repair and what can wait until the next time.Mark Hayes.National DirectorEagle Rider Motorcycle Rental and Tours.Hawthorne, Ca. 90250
This is very cozy place and staffs very nice and kind. Especially manager Mark was very very honest about pricing, if you dont want to get rip off visit this place. Highly recommend.
Hands down, the best tire repair shop in town. You won’t disappoint going there. They know what they are doing!
I have been with these guys for over 20 years. Im pretty diligent in finding that right vendor or service provider to do business with long-term because I feel they provide the best product or service Im going to find anywhere. Independent Repair is that right service provider for me regarding automotive services. After all these years, I STILL cant imagine anybody out there better or more honest.
Mike and his staff repaired 2 tires for me without charge. Very grateful for the assistance. If you need tire services this is a great place to take your car
Good service at fair prices. Less expensive than dealers. Have been going here for many years.
I had my cars serviced by Independent Repair for about 20 years. The service has always been excellent. Customer service is exceptional. Safety is very important and the mechanic will suggest repairs to avoid big problems later. Mechanics are ASE cetified. I can only give them the highest recommendation.
Ive been at this location two times, and both times they showed professionalism and honesty. I highly recommend this tire shop. I give them 5 stars, well earned and deserved. Im ready to visit them my third time.
Friendly, helpful, very receptive to any questions. They have consistently been fasyer than their estimates for repairs, which I have always found helpful. Ive had everything from oil changes, new tires to new transmission and struts. They have always been lower then googled estimates for work to be performed. 10/10 will go again.
These guys are great - I took my car into the dealership and they were trying to tell me I had over $1400 in repairs - the issue was so minor and the team at Independent Repair were honest about it and it only cost me $75! If you want to take your vehicle to shop that you can trust, take it here!
Excellent staff and repair technicians. I wouldnt go anywhere else with my Chevy Cruze! Thank you!
For over 25 years we have been more than satisfied with the professional relationship we have enjoyed with Mike Grady and his stellar team at Independent Repair. From the office staff to his team working on our vehicles they give our family a road secure feeling as I believe they treat our automobiles as if they owned them. Thanks Independent Repair!
Great value with an amazing staff.
My husband and I have taken our cars to Mike and his staff for over 20 years. They have helped us baby our cars to over 250,000 miles -each - for three cars (and a couple others close to 200,00)! They are awesome and we would not trust our cars to anyone else.
Ive used Jim and his team for over 20 years. I really trust his crew to give me good service and fair pricing. They have gone out of their way to provide excellent service.
Friendly and very courteous staff. They went above and beyond to help me out. Dawn was my service advisor and she was great helping me find the best deal.
Had a emergency flat tire repair, good service and reasonable time to
I have been taking my Prius here for a few years and the service is excellent. The diagnosis and options are always well explained, the quality of work is great, and the cost is very reasonable. I completely trust Mike Grady and the service staff.
As many other customers have stated, I, too have taken my various cars to Independent Repair for many years. I especially like the initial detailed estimate of work to be done and projected cost. I believe that they are honest, thorough, and knowledgeable. I am always contacted if anything other than the anticipated work needs attention.
We had our tires installed at this shop and received fantastic service. We will use them in the future.
I was initially referred to this facility by the Costco automobile purchase service. I needed to have the wheels checked for alignment on both of my cars. That was done and I received a written report of what was done and was charged a very fair price for the services on both cars. This facility is a bit far from my home but I will go there for future repairs and services (those that I cannot do myself) because I believe that they have very well qualified mechanics and their treatment of customers, like me, was very pleasant and sincerely friendly.
Not helpful at all, really bad experience, ended up going to another place,
Very helpful and polite. Solved my issue in under an hour and provided advice on where to go next to repair my car. I will be back.
Ive never had a bad experience at Independent Repair on 2720 Artesia Blvd. Theres a great bunch of people working there that do a good and honest job. Something thats unheard of at a lot of auto/tire businesses.
One of the (many) great perks of marrying Toni is that she brought me to Independent, where she had been bringing her cars for years. Ive now been bringing my cars there for decades as well. Theres something about an honest, dependable car repair shop that just cant be beat.
I brought them some new brakes and tires for my truck and they did a great job installing everything. Reasonable price and no complaints.
My experience is not a good one. There are many hidden prices. They try to charge more than they quote you by adding unnecessary items. Take too much time to finish the job.
Great Local Service and Excellent Customer Service whether your car is old or new! Highly recommend Jim Chen and Mike!
I had a bad tire and its still under warranty. I came to Independent Repair and the Manager, Mike took care all the paper work: filled out the form, took pictures, measured remaining tread depth and i just paid for the installation fee.Thanks for their excellent service. No pressure and honest
Ive always gotten great service at a very reasonable price. The staff are friendly and very helpful with understanding what maintenance is really important.
You will leave the shop with great satisfaction. Will definitely be back for future maintenance and repairs.
Jim, Mike and the entire team are courteous, professional and honest. Ive been using Independent Repair & Tire for years. Wouldnt trust my car to anyone else.
Always very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable
There are a lot of places out there, who has the time to take it from place to place when the facility says they cant determine the problem, or worse, when they say its this and it really is that and they dont know what that is? Finally a place that knows what that is!These Guys are more than competent! I have a lot of problems in the course of the day with running a business, but getting my personal vehicle repaired or the company vehicles repaired, is NOT ONE of THEM!! Total confidence is what I have in these Guys! Totally!!
Great shop. Car is driving much better with new tires and re-alignment! Thanks Larry & Mike.
