Long Beach Auto Repair

Found them 1^st in Penny Saver some years ago and have been coming since. I’ve taken my RAV4 to various places & know it takes about 6 qts & a specific filter, so it usually costs more than typical oil changes, but this place is reasonable.
Since I switched to synthetic oil, my oil change has gone up to about $ 70, still reasonable considering other places charge about $ 50 – 60 with regular oil.
Like going to a trustworthy dentist who keeps his eyes on the wear of my fillings, Manuel kept his eyes on my brake pads & let me know how much more time I had on them (rather than try to dupe me to getting new ones right away). He also diagnosed my car for $ 50 when it inconsistently started & fixed the problem with no followed issues.
It’s not the cleanest auto repair shop I’ve seen & there really isn’t anywhere for u to sit & wait, so you’d want to find a way back home or keep busy elsewhere while you wait.
I’m a huge supporter of mom & pop shops, and love seeing 3 generations doing what they love here. Manuel’s sons are also really nice & will take care of you too.

DON’T GO HERE. Worst place ever, don’t go here, they life and steal your money. Took my vehicle here and charges me $ 300 and all they did was change my oil. I asked for the old pays and they couldn’t find them. I CONTACTED BBB AND AM AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE.

Manuel and his crew have been servicing my vehicles for at least 5 years. Always fair, and always done correctly. I now live in Los Angeles, and continue to drive to Long Beach for my repairs. Can’t say enough how great it is to have a trustworthy mechanic. I have yet to experience an issue. Now if I could just find a doctor like this…

This guy works fast and cheap. I took it here to service my turning system. Its starting to squeak again. Also the guarantee on work is VERY short I think like one month or something.
Not sure.
On the plus side he has reasonable quotes on repair.

Horrible! poor customer service, poor service in general.

Last weekend, my boyfriend and I both brought our respective cars in to get our brakes checked and repaired. Since that time, his have been sqeaking louder than they were prior to our visit and mine developed a whole new set of issues… grinding, sqeaking and groaning. We went back in this morning to complain and to get the job done correctly. The head mechanic’s explanation for why both sets of new brakes were making so much noise… «defective pads». Very interesting that these brake pads, allegedly purchased at Auto Zone, all happened to be defective. Don’t have your car «repaired» here. I’m not sure what’s going on at this place, but it isn’t good.
