Armando truly is a professional mechanic. With a masters in his field. My brake lights were out and took my car in after reading his reviews. He found the problem and fixed it within hours of dropping off my vehicle. I was expecting a quote in the high triple digits but Armando's pricing for his work was reasonable. Will definitely be returning to this place when needed. read more

Armando is an excellent mechanic but what is really rare is he is honest. His prices are VERY reasonable and he completes work on time - He just finished replacing my AC and threw in some other work without charge. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this master mechanic. read more

I called before hand for A/C Recharge & had it serviced the same day, on a weekend. If your a/c is blowing hot and you need it recharged I recommend coming here. read more

Honest. Available within a reasonable timeframe. Capable and knowledgeable. Pleasant and positive interaction. What else is there? Highly recommend Armando's business. read more

It's hard to come by a reliable, honest and professional mechanic like Armando. He has done many jobs on my car and has never disappointed. I recently had my car changed the entire rear rotors, shoe pads and break fluids and also noticed my rear break lights bolts were off while, I was there. I had to leave my car because I had to work. Armando closed his shop and waited for me to pick up the car also, didn't charged me for replacing the rear light bolts (AMAZING) This guy it's just an amazing human being even though, he seems very calm/ chill. (Don't let that fool you) Tips: Always call ahead before heading over why? He's always busy with other cars that get there as early as 8AM. & Be patient for a quality job. Plus, he speaks Spanish read more

Had a major tune up done since I'm almost at 100k. Had the spark plugs replaced, water pump & thermostat replaced, cleaned the egr, cleaned the throttle body, PCV changed, brake fluid changed, inverter coolant & engine coolant, had the batteries tested, serviced the ac. The ac was so cold I had to turn it off and usually that don't happen. Armando and the other mechanic did a awesome job, I took it early in the morning and since this was an all day job it was ready at the end of the day. Armando showed me my old parts and it was definitely time to service my Prius. Best part about Advance Electronic Engine Auto Repair is the price, no way I would of got the same price anywhere else. I called around and nobody can beat them. Thanks again for the great service and quality work. read more

See all

I like the mechanic a lot! His honest and knows the car! Thank yiou!

Thank you, Armando!! We got our VW Jetta serviced here for a full tune up (100,000+ mileage) water pump change, brake fluid, etc. Our car was in need of service, found Armando and his business through Yelp. We were quoted an outrageous amount from the Dealership, but Armando is amazing to work with- He lets you know what is absolutely recommended and what's optional. He explained everything and we trusted the process all the way through. Highly recommend!! read more

My check engine light came on while driving and my car started to stall when I would hit the accelerator. I was really worried and I was going to be moving this upcoming week. It was a Friday at noon, I was worried I wouldn't be able to bring it in anywhere until Monday. I called Armando and he told me he would take a look. He got it done it one day and showed me the issue. He took care of the problem and I could tell he is an honest mechanic. I appreciate his service and care! read more

Just drive to Advanced Electronic Engine AS now. Then read this review while Armando is looking over your car. My Toyota's check engine light had been on for some time. Registration renewal was due soon and required a smog check. I took my car to several mechanics who either couldn't determine what the problem was or who mistakenly, but confidently, misdiagnosed it with anywhere from costly engine fix with no outcome guarantee to "it can't be fixed". With registration due date coming up I gave Armando's a try on a Saturday morning. When I arrived Armando was finishing up work on a gentleman's car. The gentlemen and I got to chatting. I told him this was probably going to be my last attempt at repairing my car's check engine light related mystery problem on a budget before moving on to another used car. He smiled and told me I was in the right place. Armando had just fixed his persistent check engine light as his registration was coming due soon as well. Armando ran a diagnostic test that registered several codes that were triggering the check engine light. He informed me what each code meant. Then he explained his plan to attempt to repair and eliminate them one by one with very reasonable price estimates for each stage. He understood the car was too old to dump too much money into. Armando performed all the repairs himself and alerted me to issues that weren't causing the check engine light but which he would address at little to no extra charge. I drove my car home after his two stage repair. No check engine light. I called Armando with the good news. He suggested I have him run a diagnostic one more time just to be certain there were no remaining issues. At no extra charge. I brought it in. No surprises with the final diagnostic. Then drove it straight to a smog shop. Passed the smog test! Thanks Armando. Btw, the Echo Park lake is a short 5 minute walk from Armando's shop. Cool spot to hang out while Armando does his honest mechanic magic. read more

I called this place because it's close to my where I live and my car was making a loud noise when accelerating. Armando said I can take it in that same day. Turns out I had a broken pipe and he fixed it right away for a good price! I'm glad I found this place everyone there was so friendly and Armando is trustworthy and reliable. I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

If you want a solid mechanic , here is the right place. Armando is the best at what he does . My car was giving me a lot of troubles , but he fixed all of them and I haven't problems since then. I have been servicing my car with him for a while now . Trust me , you won't regret it . .. read more

Armando is humble, professional and very helpful. He wants to help by not making you spend money on what is not needed. I'm very happy with their service and will definitely be returning for other work. I had my A/C service done and other small things and the job was done right. read more

His name is Armando, a good and solid mechanic. 100 percent approved. Check him out and give him a try. Overall, solid mechanic!!!!!

Great service and friendly. In LA it's been really hard for me to find an honest mechanic and I am so happy that I found this place because I can tell that they are honest and genuine with their services, which is really important. I never felt pressured to do any extra services. The mechanic was very direct and honest about what my car needed so I really appreciate that. read more

Armando is the best. He always is responsive, great to work with. More than fair prices, and never have had issues with his services. Highly recommend. read more

Where do I start I had just bought a Dodge Durango V8 Magnum and brought it to Armando to get it checked up . Got a full tune-up , oil change , transmission fluid change , radiator fluid change, brake fluid change , power steering fluid , rear differential fluid , battery change and replace ac hoses . To be honest the SUV runs like new now I am very please with the work that was provided they really took care of every issue the SUV had really happy with everything . read more

Armando was AHH-MAZING!! He took over where Battambang Auto Repair used to be, so when I got my car towed there I wasnt sure what to expect as Kevin was now gone. But WOW, Armando who has taken over the spot there couldnt have been any sweeter and honest. My gasket leaked all into my car and ruined my alternator, oil was everywhere. I dropped my car at 8:30am on Monday, and he had a new alternator, new gasket cover, and even re-aired my tires all by 6pm that same day. His wife was super sweet too as she works with him, and the other gentlmen helping Armando was just as welcoming. A nightmare of a morning that started as a broken down SUV at 2:30am ended up a dream as everything was fixed that day. He didnt charge me to run a diagnostic on my car, he called me before he did any work with pricing and went over with me thoroughly what the issues were with my vehicle. His pricing was beyone fair and super reasonable, I didnt feel taken advantage of at all. Armando thank you so much for helping me get my car back ASAP and doing it all with a smile and GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! :) read more

Armando is a fantastic mechanic and super honest. This is the only place I bring my cars to and I highly recommend. I have been here several times for various repairs to my Jeep. Just today I brought a new car to him for an oil change. Armando showed me that the previous place had forgotten to put all the screws and clips back into the cover under the car and so at no extra cost he got new ones for me and put everything back together the way it came from the factory. This is the mechanic you can trust and he doesn't cut any corners. If you need dealer quality repairs but cannot afford dealer prices then this is the shop to go to. Be sure to tell him David with the green Jeep sent you. read more

This guy's name should be Angel. All the reviews are 100% true. Armando is absolutely amazing. He is fast, professional, honest and kind! My baby Lucy got sick with a check engine light and was shaking... and was overdue for an oil change. Armando handled all with ease and such calmness that made me calm, in a really frustrating situation. He clearly has a strong work ethic-it was Easter Sunday. Lucky me to have found him. read more

This review is long overdue because it was around a year ago when I brought my car into Advanced Electronic Engine but better late than never. After an expensive and frustrating experience at the dealer, a, I brought my hybrid to Armando at Advanced after reading up on Yelp. I am so glad I did, as I got my car taken care of professionally, expertly and quickly. Armando is honest, direct, friendly, knows what he's talking about and what he's doing. He gave me options with clear explanation of the pros and cons. Someone recently posted asking for a recommendation on Nextdoor, I had no hesitation suggesting Advanced/Armando, the person went and was very happy with the result. So I realized I needed to step up and write my review. Very happy to know Advanced Electronic Engine with Armando and the crew are there, it's great to have an honest, skilled, friendly mechanic. I've experienced enough of the other kind to really appreciate it. read more

exellent service and also they were very helpfull they are very professional thanks. very good place.

Just brought my 1990 Mazda Miata in the shop today, the engine is bogging a little bit. The owner diagnosed (using the old way, no computer on my car) for me in ~2hrs, very decent speed. He seems knowledgable and is ASE recommended. Price is not too bad. Would come back again next time if I have other things to fix. Thank you! read more

First off, would like to thank Armando for an amazing job. Prior coming to his shop, I looked into many different places to see if they could fix my headlights but most of the responses were 'we can't do this here' or 'you'll have to take it to a specialist'. So I did, and luckily I came across his shop. Once you enter into the premises, there are a bunch of other repair shops in the plaza but his shop is located in the very right corner of the entrance. No need to worry for parking as he will get you situated once you identify the problems with your vehicle. Told him what my problems were and he was honest saying this might be a deep diagnostic issue and if it is, he would let me know. Luckily we just had to replace the bulbs, and while doing so, the previous people who worked on my car apparently messed up the wiring pretty bad but he replaced everything with OEM parts and better LED lights I had on before to put me at ease. Of course all cars are case by case, but I paid a third of what I was expecting so only show's how competitive he is compared to other repair shops. Thank you Armando, you'll definitely be seeing me and other references I will send down your way! read more

Armando is the best! My 1900's honda runs just like a new one thanks to him! I don't take my car anywhere else. Armando is dedicated and puts his interest to help with anything you need done to your car. The prices are great and you can't go wrong with him and not to mention he is also a certified mechanic! read more

I was having serious car trouble last week, driving around los angeles with my brake lights not working, and I stumbled upon Armando's shop after visiting 3 other mechanics who were unable to fix my car. I am so grateful to him and his honesty as a mechanic. He was able to diagnose my car even after checking the fuse, the switch, and tail lights. What stood out to me the most about Armando is his knowledge of vehicles and because of that does not have to do unnecessary tests on the car. He was completely honest from the start and I would 100% trust him with my car. Thank you for letting me hang around and watch you work, being one of those annoying customers that breathe down your neck and ask random car questions. read more

It's hard to find an honest and very good mechanics ,for sure!Not anymore,coz the right place to find them is @ASE Certified!I had my oil changed with an outstanding service.They scan and checked everything making sure that everything is alright !Armando even throw-out a free service to change my right parking light. read more

This place is always my go to shop for all of my Ford's needs! Armando - Certified Mechanic - gives the best service & is honest, quick, efficient and does a great job at restoring cars to top notch safety for use! I have come in many times for preventative maintenance & most recently some emergency body and radiator work .. Armando & his partner have not only fixed/sourced what was needed, but brought to my attention small things noticed & fixed along the way -no charge- so the work wont need to be done twice! Super helpful! They will call to give updates on car and pricing of work before completing & give clear guidance on next steps. No secret service.. And you won't spend an arm and a leg! Always quick turn around on service, best pricing compared to competitors, awesome customer service. This is a shop that knows what they are doing! Thank you Armando, for keeping my 1999 in great shape & saving me time & money! No other shop for me! read more

We all know finding a good/honest mechanic is just as hard as finding a good/honest significant other. I got tired of my car making this strange clanking noise every time I took a hard turn(left and right) so I thought I would play it safe this time and take my coupe to Pep Boys. I Walked into my local Pep Boys and as I was waiting in the service line an employee who looked the part of a "mechanic" picks up a customers phone call for the service department and after a short talk he then turns to his manager and asks him, "Cars have a transmission filter and oil?" LOL. You should have seen the managers face when he was asked that question in front of everyone; after that I marched myself straight out of there. On Google I saw a fantastic review for Advanced Electronic Engine and my intuition told me to go check the place out. Didn't look like much, but this place actually does have a Certified ASE Master Tech working there and he was quite pleasant to deal with. His name is Armando and he was able to effortlessly change the CV Joints/Axles on my coupe and NOT charge me an arm and a leg for parts and labor. He then took it upon himself to further inspect my car and found that the differential oil needed to be topped off so he did at no extra charge. Wow! Who does that?? I'm so glad I went to Advanced Electronic Engine in October 2017 and found Armando. I won't be taking my cars anywhere else from now on. Seriously. Update: took my coupe to get serviced with Armando in December 2017 and now I feel like my cars engine is running effortlessly and stronger than ever :) read more

Armando saved me sooooo much money. The type of repair I needed would have cost me thousands. A solid, honest mechanic. I'm going to recommend him to all my friends no doubt. read more

Friendly and honest. Highly recommend. Thank you, Armando!

Finding a mechanic can be so stressful. In a space and time where people are greedy and dishonest it was a relief to find a good mechanic. Came in unaware of what exactly needed to be fixed. Communication was always there before fixing the car as well as after. Armandos work speaks for itself. Will definitely be returning! read more

The check engine light was on and I needed to get it fixed to have the smog check done. Because the car is a 2004 model I had a feeling it was going to be expensive, I know enough about cars not to get totally ripped off. After contacting several mechanics I found Armando and based on the reviews I decided to take my car to him. Im happy I did. He is thorough, explains in detail and will let you know what options you have without trying to upsell. He will suggest things that you might need attention. In my case one of the parts which was aftermarket didn't work correctly so he ordered another one, that didn't work either so he found a OEM part online and placed the order. When it finally arrived he contacted me to install it and it worked the check engine light was off. The part was more expensive than the aftermarket but Armando did not charge me the difference for the part or the shipping. He provides excellent service for a reasonable price. He will check the car and test drive it to make sure the work was done properly, which is why his place is always busy with customers. read more

Armando is the best mechanic in LA. He is honest, resourceful, and intelligent. Most importantly though, he is a good person. His prices are always much, MUCH lower than his competitor's prices. I recommend his service to all my friends and family. read more

I just got into LA last night after moving across the country for work. After being on the road for about 6 hours, my car (2008 toyota solara) started shaking ferociously on the highway and the check engine light was flashing. I pulled over in Victorville (hour outside LA to the east) and found out it was an ignition coil needing replaced soon but not immediately, so I drove slow and cautiously the rest of the way to LA. Today, I took my car to Armando with the recommendation from someone who lives here. He sent me to AutoZone, which is about 4 blocks away, and I was able to purchase the part myself and get a military discount. I had google'd the average price for this sort of repair ahead of time to know what I was getting myself into. I then took the part back to him and he charged me a VERY reasonable price for labor costs and had my car ready in less than 30 minutes. It was such a lifesaver to have this problem resolved quickly and for a very reasonable price. In the future, I'll definitely go back! read more
