Crown Auto Service

Been here a couple of times, and these guys are friendly and professional. I’ve dropped my car off for regular servicing as well as tire repair and new tires. They even washed my car before I picked it up! I’d recommend and definitely go back again.

Best car service in LA, hands down. Honest. Affordable. Efficient. Fernando and his crew will always try to save you time and money. On several occasions, they’ve actually told me not to get services that the dealership recommend because they weren’t necessary. Very hard to find that level of honesty and integrity.

I am not one in the best financial position at this point of my life :(and the thought of having to cover costly unexpected repairs overwhelms me with anxiety. Looking for a reliable honest and affordable mechanic in LA is a true nightmare. I am sure everyone can testify with countless stories. My blinker broke on a Saturday night and I went into total panic how much is this going to cost? I don’t have any extra funds! I started to Google like crazy to research problem parts going rate for parts etc. and was not much I could do until Monday am. I use my car for work so no car no money :(I call countless auto repair mechanics via Unilocal researching online as well on Google. I was quoted upwards as high as 500 dollars! How can this be? Parts online where no higher then 60 bucks was I missing something? Spoke with one place they said it would be 150 just to look at it… like really wtf? I was in Starbucks and I needed a power cord because I realize that this was not going to be a quick process I noticed a older guy in truck wearing what appeared to be a blue uniform and I ask if he was a mechanic and he said no instantly a bright idea came to mind well do you know of any good ones that you can recommend? He said yes Crown Auto and «ask for Fernando» I thank him and continue back into Starbucks. I go online type in information come across reviews and listing and all good which made me confident to make call. I called talked with Fernando and he said come by after lunch and said he could not give me price over phone but would not charge me to look at it. So with nothing to loose and plenty of hope I showed up and he quoted me a price a 175.00 plus tax and said to come back in the am part should be in and he would do repair. I came back prompt the next day in the am and they did repair. I was impressed with how professional and nice everyone was. I took some time to work with other jobs they where doing but Fernando always made the effort to acknowledge me and apologize for the wait. I cannot speak any higher for the quality of my experience was 5 star and as long as I am in LA this is where I will come and recommend to all of my friends. Thankful at how the universe connected me to this blessing.

These guys are legit! They will only give you the services and parts needed. No «extras» and they stand buy their work. This place is how ALL businesses should be run. Friendly, skilled, talented, honest, trustworthy and ethical. I won’t go anywhere else.

Last honest mechanic in Los Angeles Westside… I had my car towed to another mechanic in Culver City by AAA when my starter did not work. They quoted me more than the Honda dealer was asking. The other mechanic was so rude to me and treated me like a stupid idiot.
I called Fernando from Crown and he not only had my car towed to his shop from the other crooks, but he charged me half of what the other mechanic was trying to make me pay. HALF!!! He reassured me that they could fix the car (and did a great job, by the way). I can’t tell you how much better I felt after being taken care of by Fernando and his amazing staff. I can’t say enough good things about them.

I’ve been here a couple of times and they’re always really friendly and helpful. They don’t try to upsell you left and right which I appreciate, I’m honestly not one of those people that likes to spend a grip on their cars. I swiped past a pole at work and got some paint on the side of my car — roughly 6 months ago and I haven’t done anything about it. lol.
I came here because there was a nail in my tire. Quoted me $ 15 – 20 to patch it and this is the price I paid. I was there for 20 – 30 minutes. In and out!

Used Crown Auto multiple time, with two different cars (both Mazda MPV).
Just for general service, tune-​up, and basic repairs.
Always on-​time, and fair/​lowish price.
Friendly independent car shop.
If you feel spendy you may get an odd feel, as this guys just want to get the job done, nothing more or less.
In a meter of fact, Iv’e got my car fixed twice uncharged, as Fernando said it was «simple» fix.
Great customer service
Not sure if they work on premium /​exotic cars, as one of the MPV replaced with Lotus, and I’ll hate to look for a new mechanic.

When we lived in L.A., we had tried about 6 or 7 different mechanic shops in the area, and was never really impressed by any of them. We were referred to Fernando by a family member and tried him. We never took our vehicles anywhere else after taking them to Crown. The guys are great at their craft and great to do business with. They are honest and fair. We have since moved about 930 miles away, but if we have something that needs done on one of our vehicles, and it can wait for our next trip home to L.A., we will hold off and take it to Fernando. We’ve done this a few times, where we have waited, just so we can take our vehicle to Crown. I would highly recommend anyone to take their vehicles to Crown.

Courteous, well priced, honest, good work, attentive to any issues I had, quick turnaround. Need I say more? Helped make a stressful car repair a breeze. Thanks to Jesse and Fernando.

Not very impressed with this place. They are always so busy, and the front desk isn’t too nice. I was waiting for them to get back to me, regarding a new catalytic converter for my van, but never heard back. Pretty disappointed, because according to the reviews on Unilocal,they are obviously good. If you don’t mind wait ALL day for your vehicle, this is probably the place for you.

There was some metal chunk hanging off the bottom of my car, and based on the Unilocal reviews I stopped in here to get it looked at. They clipped it up really quickly and didn’t charge me for the labor which was really nice because I’m broke! They were very kind, and if you need to get your car looked at for something that’s a bigger deal than a metal chunk, I’m sure they’d probably give you a fair estimate and would definitely give you good service! Thanks!

Amazing family run business. Fernando cares greatly for his customers and always is fair and extremely accommodating. Brought my car in here for many difficult repairs and was overall very impressed with the service. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

Joe and Fernando are exactly who you want to take your car to. They are honest, great mechanics and have great turn around times.
My husband and I both have old cars and brand new cars and they handle them both with ease.
Highly recommend crown auto!!!

I found myself in a bit of a desperate situation when my car broke down the night before I was supposed to drive home to San Francisco. I was able to take my car in to Crown Auto first thing in the morning, and the problem was diagnosed (for free) and repaired by that afternoon. They charged me an extremely reasonable price and I was able to make the 7 hour trip home safely.
Thanks to all of the guys at Crown Auto for your help!

HONEST, FAST & FAIR. I always come to this place first if I have any car troubles. First time I tried them, I was planning to go to Toyota to fix a headlight. Toyota wanted to charge me nearly $ 100. Luckily I came here (don’t remember exact amount ~$ 25)
Came here again today to fix an unfastened clip on the underside of my hood and they helped me out for free. Will keep coming back

Took my car here without an appointment because my battery light came on. They checked it out and found that I needed an alternator. Since it was going to take a couple hours, I left my car and headed home. They were very good about calling me to update me on the status of the car throughout the day. I was able to pick the car up later that day and they even threw in a car wash, which I appreciated. They seemed very honest and didn’t gouge me for the work done. I can definitely see why they get such good reviews– great customer service will do that! Definitely recommend!

Amazing service! Fair prices! Great and honest people. I will always come back! They drove me home since I left my car here! The best car repair store! Thank you so much for excellent service!

Well what can I say, my mechanic little giraffe.:) always comes through and gives me the best service.
Jesse takes you in fills out the forms and follows up. When I give them a time that I need my car, ⁹⁄₁₀ times its ready. One of my favorite things if they can’t make that time I always get a call to inform me. Jesse always updates me on progress of repairs or diagnostics and he’s up front with you.
If your looking for mechanics you can trust, who are honest and will see the job done correctly the first time this is the shop.
Thanks jesse, Fernando and lil giraffe you guys rock!

I’ve been going to Crown Auto Service since I moved to West LA in 2012. I found them on Unilocal and thanks to my fellow Unilocalers, the reviews were on point. Now that I moved out of West LA, I still trust them and still bring in my car for service.
Although Fernando is the owner and main person of the shop, Joe has been my service tech since day one. I own a 2005 G35 and oh boy now that’s it 10 years old, the pricey parts are starting to break down. He helped me understand my car and assisted me in the most reasonable price with options to fix my car. Options are always good because it gives the customers the freedom how they would like to handle their vehicle. My last car visit was about my gas tank and it was my first experience with Jesse. I’ve always seen him around the shop but never interacted with him much. And now that I had the pleasure to experience Jesse’s service I am very affirmative that this auto shop is the best! Two out of three service tech experience means YOU MUST GO TO THIS SHOP FOR SERVICE!

My favorite (okay maybe not favorite since I don’t like when my car breaks down)… my recommended auto service in West LA area!
I first started coming here when I saw that they have good rating, and met Fernando, who I’m guessing is the boss there. He’s very sweet and will not use your lack of knowledge of vehicles against you. THANK GOODNESS.
I’ve been to a couple of places nearby where I learned about car repairs the hard way, whether it was something with my engine or axles. Every time I f*cked up at another place, I’d bring it back here and they would fix it for me. I wish I never went to V&S. I wish I never went to Firestone. Although my old car is gone now, I have brought my new car for a quick fix, and they have fixed it right away without any flaws. Labor fee doesn’t feel like a lot compared to V&S. Firestone over-​charged me by A GRAND. I have never paid any more than I’ve needed to (I have car friends in the midwest who I consult) at Crown Auto Service. In fact, I’ve always been under the estimate that my friends give me!
Fernando, Junior (who has driven me around to my house and work when I became carless during the repairs), and the other guys are the most genuine men I have met in LA. THANK YOU!
