Fred’s Automotive

I would highly recommend this place. Great workers, good pricing. Carl helped me out today, answered my questions and gave me some tips! Definitely coming back :)

They’re really honest here, which means a lot these days. I have gotten great customer service every time I stopped by. They always taken care of the problem with my car. Prices were always great too.

I highly recommend Fred’s automotive, they are prompt and very affordable! They offered a free ride to my job and my car was repaired within 4 hours of dropping it off.

Fred’s automotive is my first call when my vehicles need service. I feel at ease with the care, repairs and price of anything done to my vehicles. Trust is a major factor for me and I trust them very much,. I am never high pressured to have other services done and in fact, they will tell me when services are not needed. Just had my front brakes pads and rotors replaced yesterday. They also did some work on my rear brakes at no charge. They car stops smooth again. Thanks to Fred and all the mechanics that work there so much.

Fred’s is literally the only place I will trust with my car. The staff is so friendly and they don’t try and sell you on stuff you don’t need. Thank you Fred’s for being so awesome!

First and high most, Fred’s automotive is where I will be taking my car to be assessed and fixed. After, my first encounter with Fred’s automotive, I knew my used 2002 Lexus had been provided with the best maintenance and service. The service is great and so helpful ! My little family thanks you Fred ! I have peace of mind knowing that my car is working wonderfully since my last visit, in October.

I have never been more happy with a mechanic.
I took my car in yesterday and they did a great job. I have definitely found my new mechanic.

New to the area and I was searching for a place to take my car after it began smoking from the radiator reservoir. Came to Fred’s for a second opinion after Pepboys told me my head gasket was blown. They were incredibly friendly and called me within two hours of dropping off my car. They ran extensive tests and found out the only thing wrong was a broken radiator cap. Needless to say I was ecstatic! They willingly explained the tests they ran in detail and were professional and kind through the whole process. I highly recommend taking your car here!

Fred’s is the BEST auto mechanic shop around! My family has trusted Fred with our cars since I was a kid — I remember my dad taking my first car to Fred to ask his opinion on whether we should buy it. He and his staff are just wonderful. Honest, honest, honest! You will never have to worry about being told you need services that aren’t required — Fred is a wonderful, honest, great mechanic! His service is top– notch and his staff is so accommodating and helpful. I now have a family of my own and we still trust our cars to no one but Fred’s!

Excellent Service! Needed a water pump replaced. Fred quoted ½ the price the dealer stated. Work was completed in half a day. Estimate was right on the money. Thanks to Fred’s Automotive I was back on the road with less than a day without my vehicle. Highly recommend.

Always, always, always impressed and thankful for this great team of mechanics who are service minded.
I’ve had multiple car issues the last few years, and Fred’s has always come through for me. They are honest, and give the best prices, while getting high-​quality work done fast.
Today I even stopped by after work, because my side mirror had come unglued. In a matter of minutes they had it fixed, and I was on my way. For free.
I couldn’t recommend these guys enough.
Thank you, Fred’s!

What can I say about Freds automotive? Well there slowly giving me back some faith in mechanics after all. I been over charged and taken advantage of before by mechanics and so for awhile I would just try to fix things myself. Eventually there’s things that I can’t do myself, and would be better left in the hands of professionals. When that time came I looked up shops in the area on Unilocal,seen some good reviews and decided to check out Freds. I was blown away by there generosity when I first came here. Most shops charge you just to take a look under the hood. Fred didn’t charge me a dime unless there was work done on my car. They diagnosed the problem gave me options and were honest with me. Didn’t feel forced to do anything or fed BS lies to try to get my business. Just real honest options and work. As far as pricing goes there hourly rate seems avg, but when it comes to total cost beats other places. I like that I can actually go out and by my own parts and bring them in for them to install. That saves a little bit of money in itself. In conclusion I rather save money by doing things myself but I have no problem taking my cars here if I want something done right.

Fred and his guys always go above and beyond to help me and I don’t feel taken advantage of which could be easy being a single woman taking a car to a mechanic. They are honest, reliable and always willing to help. I highly recommend this shop to anyone! I have been a customer for many years and would not take my car anywhere else. Thank you Fred and your staff for all you do! Many Blessings to you always!

They’re really friendly and really go out of their way to help you out. If you’re looking for a mechanic you can trust, I highly recommend Fred’s.

Best and most trusted auto mechanic shop I know of. Fred’s automotive doesn’t take advantage of their customers. One reason why I’ve come here for many years and will continue to do so. If you need work done to your cars I highly recommend Fred’s Automotive.

Great service. Great crew. Honest boss with a Christian heart. I passed at least 10 shops to get to this place for a brake job.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fred & his team!!! Residing in Hacienda Heights at the time.
Fred & his team are genuine, honest, knowledgeable, etc. Since moving further and unable to utilize my nearest mechanic, I can always count on Fred to accommodate me on my vehicle needs. 100%+ on Customer Service/​Quality/​etc!
Thank you Fred for ALL you and your team do! Keep up the great work!

Update: after months of BBB complaints, we went back for the 6^th time in Dec, and once again walked away with the same problem. Today my car stopped in the middle of the road, completely! It was so scary because I was in the middle of an intersection, the car’s brakes were completely jammed and my car will not move an inch, even if we push it.
We had to tow it and we took it to another shop, turns out the brake pad Fred’s Automotive installed brake pads that are way too big for my car.
This whole thing has just been such a drain on me. I am going back to Fred’s Automotive tomorrow hoping to get this brake issue fixed.

I got lucky enough to get introduced to Fred’s Automotive about 3 years ago. My Jeep was at the dealer and they told me it would cost me $ 1600 to take the engine apart to see if the heads were cracked. This was a company car and I wasn’t paying for it but I still wanted a second opinion. A friend Vicki told me this guy was from her church and he was really honest and he was close to work and home so I give him a try.
I drop off the car and he tells me that the temp thermometer is bad and some other yada yada yada and it is going to cost me $ 285. Are you kidding! So I get it fixed and I am off to the races. I can’t believe the Jeep dealer in Cerritos wanted to take the engine apart. Someone at the company had also installed a AV system «after» the fuse so if I let the car sit for more than 3 nights, lets say on a long rainy weekend, the battery would be dead. I couldn’t get authorization to pay for the fix from work so I figure I would just pay for it myself, I was tiered of having to wait for AAA when you want to leave on Monday morning and its $ 35. They also fix a light for under $ 10.
Long story short, they are very very honest. You dont have to worry about the guys coming to tell you that the brake pads are low when you come in for an oil change even though they have more than half the pads left [thanks Midas in LP].
Last month I had a friend Paul, who had been having a little back luck with his car ask me to jump his car so he could take it to buy a battery. I drive over there and he is telling me his battery is about a year old so I tell him to take it here. The tow truck drops if off after 6 PM and the next morning by 9 AM he has a call saying it was the alternator and it is less than a new battery.
I could go on and on but I just love that I dont have to worry about what Sal, Fred or any of the guys tell you because it is the honest opinion and they are not upgrading you to make extra cash.

Fred’s was great! They are honest, quick and super trustworthy! They fixed my friends car in a few hours and even sent a mechanic home with us to fix a belt on the car, because we were scared to drive it to the shop.
We took a picture and a video with the iphone of a belt that had slipped out of place and just showed it to the guys. They sent a very nice guy with us who made sure to lay down plastic on my seats and floor before he got in my car. He drove my BFF’s car to the shop after removing the loose belt as we fallowed.
They gave my friend 2 quotes 95 to 100 no more then that, and they charged her $ 100.00…
THANKS GUYS!!!
