What customers say
“He has always been honest and willing to work with me when it comes to pricing, which I really appreciate. He replaced my engine and even provided me with a rental while my car was in the shop, which saved me a lot of money and stress. Most recently, I dropped my car off to get my brakes fixed and they were completed the same day. This is officially my go-to mechanic.”
“Mike, Alex, and Oscar! Thank you for saving my car on a sunday! I'm from out of town and needed an emergency repair on a Sunday when all other mechanics are closed. They got the parts I needed and installed everything so I wasn't stuck in LA and I could go home!”
“We are tourists and came to Auto Repair Specialist on Monday morning because we had damaged the paint work on our rental car. Mike and Borez were so friendly and fixed our problem super quickly.”
