It's very hard to find a fair, trust worthy mechanic in LA but I've found one here. They never push for unnecessary service, prices are fair, and they're all very nice guys who work here. I recommend calling ahead before going as they can get pretty busy but I'm glad to see them thriving. read more

Such amazing people!! Wow! I cannot recommend enough, Frank and Brian literally saved the day for me and my old Chevy truck (with rebuilt V8 LS) ! I had a sudden overheating in LA and had to pull over - walked to 4 different shops that turned me away until I found Ace and they were just AMAZING!! They took the time to help and solve the issues with my fans and stayed late to make sure I could drive off safely. Really truly wonderful people and shop. 10 stars read more

Got a 5 year warranty for my car; got the best quote from any other company (maybe that should have been a sign). The first time my car had an issue, it had to be towed bc it wouldn't turn on. Had the car dealer contact ACE with no response. After a few days, the shop asked me to call thinking they would answer my calls but they didn't. Multiple calls, messages, no answer. After two weeks (while I had to rent a car to get to work) they said the claim was denied. The issue was not the denial, but that it took them 2 weeks to answer. I could've had my car worked on and pay out of pocket sooner and save myself at least a week worth of rentals. When I called to cancel, they did it immediately however, they failed to mention that cancelling and getting a refund are two separate processes. You can buy the policy over the phone and online, but to cancel you need a notarized affidavit requesting a prorated refund. It was thousands of dollars so I went through the process, paid for a notary, sent everything with tracking number and one year later, still no refund. Save your money and your sanity, don't work with this company. Tried leaving a negative review on the BBB but they are not part of that so best I can do is warn people on Yelp. read more

So Fraudulent!!!! They charged me for work they did not do, after keeping my car for 5 days. When i go the car back, I went to the dealer to double check and found out they did not do the work I was charged for. Stay away... Ace Auto Complete are croocked. read more

More than 10 years of service; Excellent quality at a great prices. I strongly recommend these guys. read more

The service was very quick. They were able to diagnose the problem with my car and fix it for a reasonable price.

Excellent customer service, affordable prices and above all trustful company. I ONLY take my car there and always refer my friends to them because they do excellent work and never try to take extra money for repairs that the car doesn't need comparing with other mechanic companies. Highly recommended. read more

I've been coming here for years with a variety of cars for repairs. Dealing with Frank has always been great and I've never been disappointed in his work. What I like best about him is his creative way of repairing things without charging an arm and a leg. I showed up randomly one weekend with a mirror that needed repair. He stopped what he was doing and after about 15 minutes solved the problem in a very cost effective manner. Saved me lots of money and it works! read more

** DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS FOR YOUR SMOG.** I brought my car back for a check engine light issue and FRANK told me the code read the same as the code he repaired a few months ago. Once I pointed this out to him (on the invoice), he became irate. When I asked him to honor and correct the work he had already performed, he told me he was "too busy" to address the issue and then rudely stated I would have to pay additional money to do a diagnostic. Why should I pay for an additional diagnostic when you just told me it was the same problem you claimed to repair? FRANK lacks customer service skills and tact and does NOT honor nor guarantee his work. I suggest you take your car elsewhere. read more

Ace Auto Complete - This is Frank .... not trustworthy and rude. - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Frank and the guys are honest with prices. That really matters when you trust your baby to a company. He keeps me up and running and off the god awful Los Angeles public transportation. They have changed my oil and wheel bearings. They look for the best price. Frank has even shown me comparisons before. I moved to LA in February and am very picky about who I let work on my baby. Her name is Jenetta. Don't judge me! I really can't see myself going anywhere other than here. To boot, they're fast! How can you beat that? read more

Ace Auto Complete - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I brought my car in a little more than an hour before closing for them to diagnose my car. My car would make noice whenever I would go over a speed bump or a bumpy road. It needed an end link replacement. My car was ready within 30 mins. The noise stopped and now I can drive my care peacefully comfortably. Thank you! read more

Frank and his crew are awesome. Worked really hard to solve a big problem and he did. Been working with him for many years. Trustworthy, skilled reliable, knowledgeable in all aspects of repair. Fair pricing and honest assessments. We think he indeed is the ace. read more

For the past month or so I was hearing squeaky sounds from the back tires. I didn't know if the brake pads needed to be changed or something else was wrong. I like to take my business to one place that I can trust and unfortunately with mechanics that is hard to find until I came about this place. A good friend recommended ACE AUTO to me and Frank was the person in charge that helped me out. I told him what the problem was and he quickly asked me if he could test drive the car to figure out the problem on his own. There was no wait time after that. He put my car up to fix the brake pads. Really glad I came to this location. It's Saturday morning and they still made time for me to fix the car and get me back on the road quick. Will definitely come back here if my car has any issues in the future. read more

Had a new fuel pump put into my car. This was my first time at Ace Auto and working with Frank, referred by a long-time friend. I had a great experience. Frank was super nice and friendly, prompt with letting me know his diagnostic - which was spot on. The repair was a fair price, and honestly a bit better than I had anticipated or gotten from other shops. Overall, Frank and the mechanics who work there were very nice to me and that made the whole thing worth it. They even were friendly about taking a second look at the repair for me to make sure the fuel tank lock ring and all was secured fully. I liked my experience and look forward to having a new shop to go to for regular and large repairs. Thank you Frank, Miguel, and crew!!! read more

It's always a pleasure having my car and truck repaired here. First off, with just a call they will pick up my vehicle from my job. This helps out a lot because even though I work in the lot across the street from them, I start work very early and if I took them my car on my lunch break, they would not have enough time to do most of the work I need done. I had them do my truck's 2 front control arms and ball joints, shocks all around, back brakes and a major tune up. Due to the fact that I get off work so early, we decided that they will pick up my car each morning and do the work little by little so I would not be without my truck. So each morning for the next 2 days they picked up my truck. After all the work my truck runs like new. Extremely happy with the work and the price. Thanks guys for once again great work and service..... read more

Unprofessional, underqualified, and crooks! My hub and wheel bearings needed to be replaced. They only switched out the wheel bearings and just drilled holes randomly on the hub to keep it from making noise. I found this out after a few months when the noise reappeared. They probably thought I didn't understand cars to jack up prices and argue that the wheel bearings only lasted a few months. What?! I said no. Worst service, reoccuring problem... are they even qualified? Save your money and troubles, find another place. read more

This place is a honest and completely fair place to have anything done on just about any vehicle. I had my 09 honda oddessey completely revived!! I'm talking from a transmission replacement to o2 sensors and then motor mounts and finally a tune up. The car is like new again!! Ask for Frank he is awesome to work with. He makes it all happen for you. You'll see! read more

I've been coming here for about 6 months or so. I first heard of this place when I had to replace one of my mirrors after hitting a pole while parking =/. Jim was very helpful and reasonable with prices. He even let me borrow a car while the repair was being done since I needed to take care of something. I've gotten my oil changed here various times and has my brakes recently replaced. Currently they are repairing my car and doing the body work on it which I am a little nervous about because it seems like they outsource the paint job (maybe other things within the body work arena) to another place. I just hope that my car looks okay. Jim isn't there anymore due to health reasons but Miguel and the other man (forgot his name) are pretty nice and honest. read more

Went in a few years back to do a bring back to life project, Frank quoted me one price which was fair, and when the car was ready for pick up, he charged me less than quoted due to him not needing to change out all the parts initially taught he needed to replace. Proved himself honest and has been doing great work for me, my friends, and family ever since. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

I've been going to Jim for over 15 years. He has always been honest whether to his benefit or not. He has shown a strong ability to fix all sorts of problems that can be quite different. He has fixed engines on three different cars for my family. Why four stars instead of five? Every now and then, his mechanics miss a detail. Last time, his mechanics cut the line to the window washer fluid and didn't catch it. Other than that, he is always been very willing to fix problems and if something gets missed, which rarely happens, he has taken care of it in a timely manner and at no charge. read more

Frank and Miguel are outstanding gentlemen. I'm sure so are the rest of the guys. They provide quality work at a very reasonable rate. They know what there doing here. My employer has been taking their company vehicles to them and now I'm also taking in my personal vehicles. I have total confidence of there work. Hands down, you can't go wrong bringing any vehicle here for any repairs. Guys are busy and you'll know why when you come in. Thanks again Miguel and Frank. read more

Evidently, my catalytic converter was cut out of my car on the street while I was sleeping. I didn't even know what a catalytic converter WAS until I went to Ace. After seeing stellar reviews on Yelp about Ace, I called them and described how my car suddenly sounded like a Harley Davidson had been put in it. They suspected it was a stolen catalytic converter and suggested I swing by. A guy jumped under my car, snapped some photos of my undercarriage, and then showed me a car on the rack for comparison. He made sure that I was completely educated about what had happened, WHY people even steal them in the first place, and walked me through the process of having my car fixed ASAP. They also did it for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. read more

Got exactly what I needed, which was a STAR smog check for an old car. Plus can't complain about saving a couple bucks for yelping. Thanks for the good work Ace! read more

They have been my mechanic for 15 years and 3 cars: '99 Impala, '02 Toyota & '04 Infiniti g35 Why are they trustworthy: because they will walk you through from start to finish any concern or opinion and No up sells!!! They pride themselves on being " your mechanic" read more

I needed my battery changed out, fast. For $25 they took out my old one and replaced the new one within 25min! They took me immediately and went right to work. The guys are great, very easy going, and definitely have their minds on the job. Would defiantly go back. read more

Well lets just start of with Jimmy, since he is not the owner anymore, this place should go out of business....The 2 idiots that run the place now don't know what the hell they are doing.....they do not know anything about car performance, they will charge you double and you will get a bad service and poor quality. Stay away from these people. This comment is in memory of my car. If you plan on driving your car after they fix it.....GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.......... read more

ive had every kind of used car from the family handmedown clunker to the classic show winner so to say that im a mechanic snob is probably being kind when someone i knew told me about jimmy (the owner) i was like 'yeah right...' but he couldnt stop gushing i was in the midst of looking around for a honda fit and my friend kept insisting that jimmy would set me straight on all the potential candidates as it turned out becuase of the situation i never did go to jimmy but i did end up buying a honda fit and within a week of purchase the brakes had this horrible grinding noise so i figured id take it jimmy i ended up stopping off at this other garage first because i found it on yelp and people had given it great reviews the owner said it was nothing and just to not worry about now i dont need to know a lot about cars to know that brakes should not sound like that so i went and found jimmy jimmy didnt actually do the work cuase hes busy running the shop but his guys within 5 mins showed me the problem and it was really obvious and had to ABSOLUTELY be fixed (it was unsafe otherwise) since then ive taken the honda over to them for all issues every single time the guys are always courteous smart and capable they love it if you take an interest in the maintenance of your vehicle they dont mind it if you dont prices are fair work is always great read more

Best service I've ever had. Jimmy is the man. I was recently in an accident and Jimmy fixed every issue with my vehicle (6 in all) for the ridiculously low cost of exactly what the insurance company cut me a check for. Amazing service, very accommodating! read more

I've used Jimmy myself on my 2003 Acura TL, 1995 Mercedes, and referred a friend with a newer mercedes, a VW Jetta, Honda Accord. Everyone I send to Jimmy loves him, including myself. He is honest and does a great job. Max P sounds like Bobby's friend! I've been to Bobby's Auto, and no offense, but Bobby is NOWHERE close to Jimmy in terms of competence Shoot, all you have to do is count the cars in their respective lots. Jimmy = Packed Bobby = nothing. read more

This is a great place for auto repairs. Miguel is a great guy, very personable and seems honest. I told him i had to wait while he did the oil change, and he said he'll do it in 30 mins. That means he worked on my car right away. Frank was also a nice guy. They didn't try to sell me a service that my car did not need. The guy at firestone said i had to wait 2 hrs. The price is also reasonable and they used original honda parts for my wife's car. I also bring my Mazda cx-7 to this place. Overall, i just didn't feel like i had to be on the defensive stance when dealing with these guys, unlike the feeling you have when you go to a dealership, or jiffy lube where you have to be on your guard knowing that they might sell you services that you do not really need. read more

After reding all the good reviews I had to stop and check it out. The staff was very friendly n helpful. I had called in ahead of time so when I got there I didn't have to wait. Got my breaks done in no time. I think I found my new mechanic! read more

Had car trouble, brakes didn't sound right. Felt skeptical about other body shops so took it to the Honda dealer and those guys couldn't find anything wrong!!!!!!!!! From word of mouth, finally found Ace Auto Complete. Jimmy and those guys really knew what they were talking about and finally fixed my car problem. Was great - went to the Coffee Bean next door and picked up my prescription at CVS. Great farmer's Market just a few steps away if you happen to go on Thursdays. Will not go to the dealer anymore. So glad I found Ace Auto. Would highly recomment it to anyone, local and otherwise. 10 freeway is really close. read more

I had a terrible experience with these guys. i went in for an oil change. i just asked for an oil change (which they tried to overcharge me for). instead, the mechanic seemed to be checking the car out, but he was pounding the various parts with some kind of hammer!. i didn't realize it at the time, but he messed up my car!!! the car was fine when i brought it in, but the next morning, my fuel pump went out and i had to have the car towed and repaired. in addition, when the mechanic was 'checking it out' he told me that i needed new motor mounts and it would cost $400. when i took it to a different mechanic the next day, they said that it wasn't really necessary, and i would only need 1, not 4 and it would only cost $40. these guys are bad news. read more

Read all reviews before coming here, called, spoke to Frank who had answered the phone. Went for a smog check and 30 mins later I was done. Would have been sooner but Frank and I was just shooting the breeze. Awesome guy and very, extremely reasonable rates. I think I found my spot in LA to go to when I have some car troubles. A+ shop and 5 stars without a doubt. read more

I called at about 10:30 am and spoke to a gentleman named Miguel, he made sure I knew that I was able to come in during my lunch break and would be out on time to return to work. Everything went very smooth. I arrived at about 12:35pm, parked my car walked over to the Wells Fargo across the street and returned to wait for about another 10 minutes. I paid exactly what I was quoted over the phone and was on my way back to work at 12:50pm. If I happen to stay in the Beverly Hills area, I will definetly come back and would recommed any one in the area to stop by and get help from Frank and his crew! read more

2/6/2013 Edit " I've been coming here for six years I was reffered by a friend who spoke wonders of theese guys. To begin prices are most fair,got my brake service for $135 everywhere else $260 at least, all kind of stories about new Rotors being needed. The guys at Ace were honest, and said I did not need rotors I only had to have them resurfaced. very friendly, very knowledgeable and i deffinately reccomend this shop to anybody who wants to save money! read more

Frank is great and his shop hooked it up. I got 2 smog checks and oil change in no time. He's a one stop shop for all your car needs I will definitely be back in the future for other repairs. Very honest and good person. I highly recommend him for all your car needs. read more

What can i say about this place? Everything is great here,from customer service to repairs and maintainance. Frank,the owner is friendly,honest guy who helped me to find out whats wrong with my car and also saved me money end of the day. If you need a honest staff you need to bring your car here,period. read more

So I was planning on getting my (much delayed) maintenance on my Prius. And on my way there, my car started getting this horrible chemical-smell, especially when I accelerated. Let me tell you, that shit's terrifying when you're on the freeway and are like "AHHHHHHH I DON'T WANT TO DIE." When I showed up, they seemed to already have their hands full with people "who must have their car back in 1 hour" and other demands, and I'm like "great, I'm driving a rental the rest of the week." I dropped off my car, and literally two hours later they told me that my car battery had MELTED and that's why I was smelling that foul smell. THEN they fixed it that same day, and for a very very reasonable price (most of the cost was just for the battery replacement). Wow, thanks for keeping me from bursting into a ball of flame, Ace Auto! read more
