I've been taking my car here for a few years. My company also gets our vehicles worked on here. Alex is a fantastic, honest, and straightforward mechanic and he does exceptional work. Recently I went in leaking power steering fluid. We feared it could have been the rack and pinion at first, but he thoroughly went through it and it ended up being a much less expensive repair. He worked around the clock and stayed late to fix my car for me and did his usual great work in no time and for a great price. He always takes the time to talk to me, answer all my questions, and he gives good advice. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Alex!
View on GoogleI heard Alex moved to a new location, so when I came back to LA, I visit him right away. Over 10 years ago, when I was a student, I could only afford an old used car. One day, the engine belt snapped while driving, the brakes stopped working, and to avoid hitting pedestrians, I crashed into a house gate just to stop the car. The car was badly damaged and I had no money to fix it. Later, I met Alex at Mobil gas station and asked if repairs would be expensive. After hearing my situation, instead of trying to make money, Alex taught me how to DIY the repair, find cheaper parts, and slowly rebuild the car myself. Back then, before AI and endless online tutorials, finding a mechanic this honest was almost impossible. After two weeks of fixing the car myself, Alex handled the final critical repair and charged me only for that part of the project. He even drove the car uphill himself to safety test it and make sure I wouldn't lose control again. When the homeowner heard what happened, they also chose not to charge me for the damaged gate. I was almost crying from gratitude.
After 10 more years, I've graduated, found a good career, and have a stable income, so this kind of situation won't happen to me again. But I still remembered Alex, so I come back to thank him again. I'm really happy Alex has his new shop — bigger, more comfortable, nice equipment, and with even better location. What shocked me most was seeing a customer pull in, tell Alex the issue, toss him the key, and walk away immediately to shop at the mall on the next street without even asking the price. They trust him! Alex is still the same — treats everyone like friends, even offering tea, coffee, and drinks, snacks, with a relaxing outdoor area that feels more like a café than a repair shop. If any of my cars break down in the future, this is where I'll bring them even if I have to drive this far, because real trust and kindness are priceless.

View on GoogleAlex is an exceptional mechanic. I called him on a Sunday, and he installed new brakes the very next day. My car also had a strange noise coming from the rear brakes. When I contacted him, he promptly scheduled me in, diagnosed the problem immediately, and fixed it on the spot. His expertise is impressive, and his prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a reliable mechanic who will take great care of your car. 10 out of 10.
