Vtec

Been there first time few weeks ago to fix up my flat tire as there has a needle in one of my tires.
Just drive there and Ben the owner I guess, help me to fix up and taught me a lot for how to maintain my car.
Prices is reasonable, services was excellent. I’m not sure other shop in that area but compare with the dealer services at diamond Honda which is really awful.
Definitely will come again if there has any problem in my car. Keep it up, always support the small business around my city who have excellent services.

The owner/​mechanic Benjamin that runs this place was either ripping me off or he doesn’t know what he is doing. I took my car in for some a/​c work which they did but then he tells me he scanned my carb with his very expensive snap-​on scanner and said I had to hard codes 1 was a p0420 catalytic converter and the other was some kind of a evap code. I said oh really then paid him for the a/​c work.
I went home and plugged in my $ 2.00 scanner I only found 1 code p1389 02 sensor. So i replaced the 02 sensor and drove the car for a few days to clear all the monitors no check engine light at all just like before.
So thats the last time I ever went to that shop and no I donnor recommend Vtec

Today I went to V-​Tec for a front end alignment on my 2004 Civic. This is AFTER I had Bear Alignment in La Puente — MISS IT UP. I explained to Ben the owner of my concern– care would drift right once I let the steering wheel go. He mentioned the price and I explained the issue I had with Bear Alignment in La Puente used ‘a measuring’ tap and just adjusted the front wheels only. Ben mentioned that his alignment machine ‘measures’ all 4 wheels electronically. That is what I wanted to hear. After an hour plus, my Civic steered straight! Ben mentioned (he provided a print) that the right front was pointed right a little– thus caused the drifting to right… On top of that, due to the 4 wheel alignment machine– he also mentioned that the left rear was pointed our too… All is good now. It’s great to deal with honest folks… I say that because I usually work on my own cars… so I know if they are telling me B/​S or not. I highly recommend this place.

This Honda/​Acura shop in Walnut is great. I have been going to see Benjamin for years, first with my Honda Civic & now my Acura MDX. I always get good service & way cheaper than the dealer. If you are looking for a great Honda/​Acura mechanic look no further.

I had a repair done and Ben beat the price of everyone else that I got a price from significantly: and my my car drives better than ever. I will be trying him again for my next repair. The repair was done really fast as well. Very honest and no bull.

I was drawn to this place because of its name… VTEC. They claim to be Honda specialist and even have the certification but I suspect that they half assed it on my car. They made my car worse then when I brought it in. I had a vibration problem and ask for my throttle body to be cleaned. They «cleaned» it and now it shakes worse than ever. They also told me that my front and rear engine mounts were broken and needed to be repaired. Parts and 2 hour labor estimated out to be $ 450. At the time I said «no thanks» and paid for the throttle body «cleaning». I then took my car to my friend’s garage for a second opinion. He told me that my front mount was broken but my rear mount was perfectly alright. After I bought a replacement engine mount on Ebay, he installed it for me. I ended up paying $ 60 for the part and got a free installation thanks to my friend. A few months later my friend came to me with a vibration problem. We have the exact same car. His rear engine mount was broken and he also bought one on ebay for $ 60. Out of curiosity I called this place and asked about an installation of the mount. I know the rear mount is more expensive to install because its larger than the other mounts. I told the mechanic I got the part already and asked about the labor. He told me that it would be 3 hour labor. They normally charge $ 80/​hr labor. So let me get this straight…4 months ago, if i would’ve taken your advice about the «two broken engine mounts”(front and rear) and brought the parts from you for and outrageous price… it would’ve taken you only 2 hours parts and labor (price $ 450) but now if I have one part (rear) that needed to install it would take 3 hours?! Tsk Tsk… shady shady. *shakes head
