LA Auto Repair Inc

This post will be long: If you want to avoid scammers, avoid this place at all cost. The mechanic named Raj worked on my car 8 months ago and charged me 4500 to fix the engine. He promised when returning our car, any issues with engine he will work on it for free. When we asked to provide a written statement he didnt provide us one and stated my word is enough. 8 months later, check engine ligth started to show up on the dashboard. We called him, he asked us to bring the car. When my husband and my dad bought him the car, he pretended to not remember at all on working our car. My husband already knew what the issue with the car was and specifically asked him to look into the leakage issue related to engine. Mikey the owner of the garage, called us 2 days later explaining car requires transmission change, moto mounts needs to be changed and not talk about the actual issue. We again asked him to work on the leakage and do the smoke test on engine to figure out whats causing the leakage. When I asked him questions like why is the engine showing issues already when you gave us a warrantly that engine should be fine the next 2 years or why is the water pump suddenly having issues and require fixing, isnt that a part of an engine, he tells me he wont answer my questions as he has speech issue. This man didnt like a woman asking him so much questions, and I can already confirm that was the case cause his attitude was different when my husband was questioning him. Anyway, he asked us to pay 575 even though he promised to work on the engine issues for free back at August. My dad negotiated with him and Raj the mechanic confirmed they will do it for 300. We checked with other garage who said they will do it for 300 too, the reason we didnt bring it to a different place as Raj/Mikey already worked on our car and knows the history. A week later when they were supposed to fix and return our car, Raj called and informed Mikey said he wont work on our car. At that point, the frustration on our end with these scammers was out of the roof. As we waited for a week to get our car back and was ready to pick it up. Raj wont answer any of my questions, why wont they work on the car, why did you promise to perform a smoke test and all he blames his boss Mikey for it and said he agreed with me that it was unfair. But he is just an employee and has no say over the boss's decision. I called Mikey, this Man, who cant handle women who have voice, tells me I wont work on your car you're not paying me enough, even though his worker agreed to do it for 300. When I told him this is straight up scamming and unprofessional behavior and I will take legal action, he threatens me saying bring your cops and I'll see what they can do. And hangs up the phone. Law doesnt apply to Scammers like these. They think they're above the law. Not just I filed a complain to cops, I have legally filed a compain with DMV. If the man called and explained why he needed more money I would have actually paid more, but making his employee call me and not provide enough explanation and hang up calls when customers are frustrated with them shows what kind of people these are.

I’ve been coming here for 8 years and they always take care of my cars needs. Mickey also takes care of My family and everyone else I send here. Since I live close by, if it is busy, they tell me to come back if it’s gonna take too long or I leave my car. The mechanics are great.

This store I will remember my whole life. My car was shaking. I understand it's a big issue. I have to change my cross-member. I went to 5 stores and after I went to this store. When they got me they tried to take full advantage. First, they said a big amount was needed to fix it. After they try to convince, especially one of the guys, he says he is from Delhi. His attitude is like a cheater. Without my permission, they opened my cross-member cover. I really felt bad about their rubbering attitude. I never go to this store.

Best repair shop. These guys are honest, hard working and do a great job. Only charge you for their great work, good customer service. They are skilled and quickly diagnose all car issues.

I’ve been bringing my car to LA Auto Repair for years, and Mikey, the owner, has truly become our family mechanic. He’s incredibly responsive, always picks up the phone or calls back right away, and he gets things done fast. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and genuine in this business. One time I got into a fender bender and immediately called Mikey—on a Saturday, no less. He was literally out of the country at the time, but still made arrangements for my car to be seen right away. I drove it straight from the accident to his shop. Luckily, the damage wasn’t serious, but the way he dropped everything to help made me feel like more than just a customer. That’s the kind of care and dedication you get with Mikey. It’s like being treated as part of the family. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, responsive, and fast mechanic, Mikey is your guy. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else.
