I've been going to Alliance for about five years now. When you're honest and do good work, you don't need advertising. We were driving by the shop the other day and my favorite daughter in law said, "I like Romero. He's honest and fair." He proved that when he worked on her Jeep's oil housing repair. He clearly explained the options. You can go with the lower budget plastic housing or upgrade to the metal one that lasts longer and won't crack. That kind of transparency matters. I like doing a lot of my own maintenance, but when you need a pro, Alliance is the place to go. The shop is always willing to fit you in. Whether it's an $80 job or something that costs a few thousand, I've never felt taken advantage of. Great work at fair prices. If you're looking for a reliable, honest shop, give Alliance a try. You won't regret it. read more

I was having issues with my car last Summer which my usual mechanic couldn't address quicker or figure out. I knew about Alliance only from Yelp reviews and the only thing that kept me from getting service here is that they're closed on the weekends. Took a chance one weekday and Ramiro immediately suggested to take a drive with me so he can diagnose the issue . I appreciated his attention & accuracy of his diagnosis of the issue. When oil change light came on yesterday, took the opportunity to get service. I was in & out within 30 minutes as quoted . Will consider taking the car back for service . Courteous staff and seems honest . read more

Romero and his mechanics are amazing Been going to them for about 3 years and they have never Dissappointed read more

Brought my fiat in for oil change. Super friendly staff, Ramiro is the best. Oil change was super fast and cost was very reasonable. Will definitely bring back for other services! read more

Great auto service , if you want your repairs to be done right Alliance Auto care is the place I been using them for least 3 years Ramiro and his team rock !I will always use them for my car services . read more

Ramiro is a nice Gentlemen who provides quality work at a cost that won't kill you like the Dealerships. I'm an Uber driver and TWO of my friends recommended him. He has a comfortable waiting room with all the amenities. He put out an area heater on a very chilly morning for another customer and I when he saw us shivering in the waiting area! I highly recommend him! read more

I've been coming to Ramiro since ~2010 when Ford Dealership kept trying to rake me over the coals and the usual dealership shakedown. Ramiro and his team were always straight to the point on what needed fixing etc. to keep the car running optimally. They have worked on my 2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid and happy to report it's up to 263,000 and running like it's new! They also work on my Audi Q5 and he made the car sing after the first tune up after buying used. Highly recommended and trustworthy. They get it, and the old school way of creating loyal customers. read more

Came in for an alternator but left with a mechanic for life! Ramiro is super cool and his team always work hard to get the job done right. If you're looking for an honest mechanic with quality work and a fast turn around this is the spot. Even on big jobs I am always shocked the work is done so quickly I typically come in at 8am and get a call in the afternoon. Unlike a parking ticket, this is a bill I'm always happy to pay for! Tell Ramiro Harold sent you! Lol read more

It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust, but these guys are definitely it. We have come here for a few different problems on a 2013 Prius V and 2014 Nissan Juke and they have always returned our cars to us fixed and replaced in a reasonable amount of time. If you are considering going to a dealership/service center about a car issue for a car that is out of warranty, I suggest you go to this place instead. Also, Oscar is always very nice and helpful, so shout out to him. read more

I have been bringing my cars to Alliance for about 25 years. Ramiro is honest, fair priced & he & his mechanics do an excellent job. I can always trust my car to get fixed right without worrying which is a great feeling when it comes to auto repair these days. read more

Love to bring my car here such a great place great service great workers. Quality and value of the place is great and clean

I have been going to get my car issues fixed by Ramiro and his guys for over a year now (brakes, oil changes, body damage, and most recently a cracked windshield). They are always efficient, trustworthy, reliable, and helpful. I highly recommend them :) read more

I recently discovered Alliance Auto Repair but have now used them to repair both our cars. My neighbor recommended them and he's been using Romero's services for 30 years. The prices are so reasonable; they are fast and accommodating to my schedule. Romero, the owner, was very kind and helped me out to get my car fixed when I was in a bad spot; I'll always be grateful for that. I don't worry they will recommend a repair I don't really need. I can't recommend Alliance Auto Care highly enough. read more

Ramiro, thanks for an excellent job done on my car. You saved me a lot of money after going to the dealer several times charging me lots of money each time and problem was never fixed. With just one visit, Ramiro managed to make an accurate diagnosis and I only paid a fraction of what I had already paid the MBZ dealer. Great job and keep up the excellent work. I will continue to refer all my friends and family. 8/22/2019: Great job Ramiro moving to a new place. Thanks for offering the same high quality services to us at the new place. I love the new shop; much bigger and waiting room is very comfortable to wait. Great WiFi service, I was able to work as I wait for my car. Thx for the returning customer discount. Truly appreciate you and what you do. read more

You know how you wanna have a good relationship with a mechanic? This is the place. Ramiro is trustworthy, honest, and reliable. I won't take my car anywhere else. read more

You definitely get your bang for your buck. some of the best mechanics around. Doesn't matter whats wrong with my car these guys always fix it. 100% dependable and outstanding customer service. read more

I can't say enough good things about Ramiro. We took in an older vehicle that no one could help us with, and he took the time to make sure it was fixed correctly. We were driving it across country and he asked us to let him know when we got there safely - he truly cares and will make sure you get the best service. He's definitely one of a kind and a very knowledgeable mechanic read more

Second time here. I think they are honest and do a good job for a fair (not cheapest) price. They did a break job for me and had it done reasonably time and cost. I think I found my shop. read more

Ramiro is so caring, does such good work and so reasonably priced. We are lucky to have found him and this shop. And super convenient if you have kids. You can walk right over to the Hermosa Beach, South Park till he calls you! Or walk to Hermosa Pier Ave while wait. Update: 02/2020 the new location I near Lomita is surprisingly convenient. Nice seating area and bigger shop overall. Very impressed with what they have done in the new space! read more

My driver side window stop working and I took it the dealer for the repair. When I got the quote, I was stunned..almost $1,000 for a 2004 Nissan Sentra window regulator & motor repair. I also just happened to mention that my car doesn't turn on first try and based on the diagnostic, I also apparently needed to replace my fuel pump- another $1K. I was looking at about $2K of repairs. I opted to shop around and found Alliance via Yelp. I can't begin to share how great Romero and crew are! When I called Romero and told him what happened, he said that was WAAAYYY too much. He quoted me 1/3 of that price and said to bring my car in. Two days later, I dropped my car off with Romero and team, within the hour, Romero advised that the dealer misdiagnosed my vehicle concerns. The window didn't need a motor/regulator replacement, it was a switch and the my fuel pump was not in dire need of being replaced. Romero told me to wait on fuel pump replacement and focus on my window. I went from $2K to $250. This place is the best! I'm super excited that I have found a great auto care center. Romero and the crew are super friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly have immense integrity. I can't recommend Alliance Auto Care Center enough! read more

I'm giving Alliance 5 stars because of the service the provided. My family and I drove to CA about a month ago to pick up furniture where we needed to tow a trailer. Long story short, we were having issues attaching the hitch to the trailer which caused rattling. Although our issue wasn't to repair our truck, he accommodated and helped us adjust the tow hitch. It was really simple but taking 45 minutes of his time and not charging us anything was really appreciated, but we did get his crew some Starbucks to thank them! We never want issues with our cars/trucks BUT if needed, I would definately go to them! Thank you Mr Ramirez read more

They did my tie rods, ball joints and some other steering stuff. The charge was less then I expected and all completed in one day. This is an honest shop that charges decent rates. I would recommend to my family. read more

I can't say enough good things about Romero & his crew at Alliance. They've worked on my vehicles several times now. They do good quality work at a fair price and it's usually a quick turn around. For example, I took my 2007 Toyota Tacoma to the dealership to get a quote on some work that needed to be done. Toyota quoted me over 6k. I got a second opinion from Romero and he fixed everything for under $1k! That was a year ago and the truck is still running great!! Top quality service every time! Highly recommend!! read more

Lack of honesty. Poor attitude. Long waiting time and no parking. I paid for fuel injection, airmass sensor service and brake flush. They charged me but did not perform. I got ripped off. They got upset for doing oil change at another location and kick me out. You really cannot trust them for their honesty and quality of work they do. read more

I am not much of a yelper, but felt I should give credit where credit is due. I have been going to Ramiro since 2008, I refer everyone to him. I met him in his Hermosa Beach location which was ideal for me because it was like 5 minutes from my home. Now I commute and even tow if needed to Harbor City anytime I need assistance with my car. That is how much I trust his knowledge and his integrity. If I could give Ramiro, Oscar and the rest of his team many more stars I would. You can't put a price on finding a trustworthy mechanic. Thank you Ramiro :) read more

Ramiro and his team are a class act. They cared for my van within the estimated timeframe that was discussed. When I asked questions to follow up on the issues at hand, they were open and transparent throughout. Great value and quality service. When I told them I was going to the beach, they even gave me a great recommendation that was fantastic! Thanks again; you've got my future business! read more

I started taking my car to Ramiro when he was located in Hermosa and always found him to be just so friendly, helpful, professional, and efficient. He always fit me in when it worked for my schedule and the prices are so reasonable. When my car was totaled by an uninsured driver, Ramiro even found someone to buy the totaled car off me for scrap and checked out the used car I ended up buying to replace it for me. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy mechanic. read more

Super HONEST place! These guys are now and will be my mechanics moving forward for all my Honda Accord needs. They worked on my car and pricing is very reasonable. read more

I take all my cars to Ramiro and I am never disappointed!!! He takes great care of them. I've never had any issues he's always very nice, very professional, reliable and honest which are hard qualities to find in a mechanic. His staff is also very nice and know what they are doing I would highly recommend Alliance Auto Care for all your car needs. read more

My dad has always been the one taking care of my car problems. When I moved to LA I was completely lost. I didn't know that my tires needed to be rotated, how to read the temperature meter, how to know when it is oil or water leaking. I didn't know anything about the car except gas, brake, drive, and reverse. I am incredibly blessed to have met Ramiro and his team. They are honest, kind, and well experienced. I have been with Alliance Auto Care for one year, and every visit with them has been flawless. To Alliance Auto Care, I'm able to stay safe on the road and long road trips because of your team. Thank you for all the work that you guys do. read more

Long overdue review, I should've done it 2 1/2 months ago! I'm from out of town and borrowed my sister's vehicle. I ran into some trouble with her car. Apparently the alternator failed, I looked up a shop where I can get it inspected. Fortunately, the first place I called was Alliance Auto Care which has great reviews! As soon as I called, they were very accommodating and I asked that l bring the car in that day to check it out. The owner Ramiro was helpful in explaining what the issue is & what needed to be done to get it resolved. I didn't feel like I was getting scammed or mistreated because I'm a female unlike some other places I've been to that talked down to me or tried to rip me off. Ramiro & his crew Oscar were able to replace the alternator expeditiously before more problems arose such as the battery wearing out prematurely or other starting issues. Genuinely impressed by how professional, attentive, quick, accommodating Alliance Auto Care was able to repair my sister's car. I totally recommend this auto service shop you will not be disappointed at all. I just wished they were in my neighborhood so I can get my own car and have my other family & friends to service their vehicles! Since the repair was done awhile ago my sister has not had any issues to date! Thank you Ramiro & Oscar for being awesome mechanics! read more

Awesome service, professional and helpful. Honest and fair pricing. Ramiro and his team immediately provides a family feel to you. My Mom's BMW needed some work and his crew took care of it promptly. When my son's girlfriend's car had problems we immediately called Ramiro and again, he took care of it. I appreciate finding a high-quality mechanic that is the real deal. read more

I needed a clutch change for my car and I contacted local shops that could help me. I talked to Ramiro over the phone around the 3rd week of May asking for a quote. He had the best quote in the area. I asked only for a labor quote because I had all the parts needed for the job. Romero has told me to come in after Memorial Day and said he could have the clutch changed by the end of the day. I dropped the car off in the morning around 8AM and got it back the same day around 4PM. Ramiro and his boys did a great job, my clutch is brand new and feeling good. No complaints at all and I got a great deal. read more

Alliance Auto Care - My burnt throw out bearing, I may not look like much but to replace this the mechanics had to drop the whole transmission. - Auto Repair Near Me - Harbor City, California

Super nice man that works there helped me figure out why my car was stalling. There was a little wait cause they're busy but he still made time to help me and didn't charge me anything for looking at my car. I appreciated it a lot cause I was prepared to have to do without my car until it was fixed. read more

I've been going here since last year and I've always had a great experience and I highly recommend this place. Ramiro and his team is practical, fair and good at communicating about the work, realistic schedules and pricing. I recently needed to get my brakes fix and Ramiro was able to immediately work on my car and update me about it. I got my car back in a reasonable time frame. Excellent customer service! read more

Very credible and reliable mechanic shop to go to here in Harbor City!!! My truck was done in a about 2 days

Ramero, Gabino, Esther and staff are great! I first went here because it was conveniently-located and neighbors spoke well of it. I've been back ever since because I trust Ramero's word, and his prices are extremely fair. The work is top-notch, and many people seem to come from miles away because they know, trust and like the staff at Alliance. If it turns out to be something that DOESN'T need to be fixed right away, or there's a less-expensive option, they'll let you know...that's how honest they are. If you choose to wait for your car, it's adjacent to a tree-lined grassy park, or a block from the green belt running path, or a five-minute walk to the ocean, if you'd like to spend a few hours at the beach. There are also Mediterranen, Mexican, Japanese, and Italian restaurants within a 3 minute walk. Occasionally, Ramero even throws a customer appreciation party, with tacos, music, refreshments and a cotton candy machine for the kids. Old-school awesome service! read more

Alliance Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - Harbor City, California

These guys are so great. Absolutely LOVE them. My old mechanic turned into a drug addict or something and got all flaky and weird, so I had to find a new mechanic I could trust. I hate feeling like I'm being taken advantage of, or I'm being charged more than needed, or for things I don't need. These guys have been completely honest and transparent. Ramiro gives me all the options and let's me decide. I went in guarded, now I completely trust these guys. So super grateful to have found an honest mechanic. Thanks guys! You're the best! read more

It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust. Romero is just that. He will tell you only what you need done. I once towed my car from Santa Monica because I didn't trust anyone else. I highly recommend them. read more
