    I came in early morning. Spoke with Helio, super cool dude, has good energy. Told him I needed new axles front left and front right, he told me the numbers and ended paying cheaper than the intended quote. I'll be coming back unfortunately lol but glad the car is in the good hands.

    Honestly has been the best place for my cars ever since I met helio in 2021 I do not go anywhere else at all but here only, I unfortunately relocated 300 miles north to Merced California and I always make the drive down to Los Angeles for the special AV auto touch of tune up , I don't mind driving 3 hours back and forward, I confidently know I will make it to the shop and back home. Thank you very much helio and your great team and customer service and for being such a great loyal mechanic to me and my friends who you provide service too.

    Helio and his team at AV Auto are hands down the best in the city. My girlfriend and I trust them with all of our auto work, and they never disappoint. Finding reliable, honest mechanics isn't easy, but AV Auto is truly a gem. Whether it's routine maintenance or more complex repairs, Helio and his team handle it all with expertise and care. If you want top-notch service from a shop that genuinely cares about your car, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

    I can't say enough good things about Davis Brothers Tires in Culver City. I called them about a…read moreslow leak on a brand-new tire I had recently purchased and mentioned that there were dents on the rim. I was worried I'd need to buy a whole new rim, but instead of upselling me, they actually saved me money. They carefully assessed the issue, flattened the rim, rotated my tire, and fixed the problem without pushing unnecessary repairs. That kind of honesty and skill is rare. The service was fast, professional, and genuinely customer-focused. I left feeling taken care of rather than taken advantage of. I will always go back to Davis Brothers Tires and will highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy tire service in Culver City. Truly amazing experience.

    I was leaving for work the morning of 9/19/25 and found that I had low pressure in one of my tires…read more I took it to Davis Bros. They checked the tire, told me it was "ruined" and gave me a quote for a new tires ranging from $179.14 to $358. The person who quoted me told me my tire had already been patched 3x and it was illegal to patch the tire again. (This is untrue, which I know because I take care of my own car - and it is NOT against the law.) I have the printed quote. My intuition told me this was not correct and I requested they put the tire back on so I could go elsewhere. They told me they would only give me a 'loaner tire' because it was unsafe to put my tire back on. I refused and had to go into the service area and demand the original tire back. Once it was back on, I drove down the street to another place that looked at the tire, said it lost a few pounds of air, filled it, and I was on my way in 10 min. The tire has been 100% fine since - it is now more than a month later. During this timeframe I've also been to the dealership for a scheduled maintenance and they found nothing wrong with the tire. My car is less than 3 yrs old. It's so disheartening to see businesses try to take advantage of customers who they assume don't know any better. Please do not go here and have them take your money dishonestly! I have been going to Davis Bros Tires on and off for years and recommended them to others. Unfortunately I will never go again after this terrible experience. UPDATE based on below response: to be clear, the tire in question had no prior damage and has never been patched before. So the explanation still makes no sense.

I went with the one they recommended because they said it would be a long-term solution. Four days later (on Saturday), while driving on the freeway, the tire had a full catastrophic blowout and completely shredded. I was lucky I was on the far right lane to be able to pull over as a freeway blowout is no small thing. I called the shop to let them know what happened, and instead of any concern or willingness to look into it, I was told patches have "no warranty" and that they don't give refunds. The tone was dismissive, and I was told "come on man, listen to what you're saying," which was surprising given the safety aspect of what happened. For clarity: a tire that is unsafe to repair should not be patched after an inspection, and a tire that is safe to repair should not suffer a catastrophic failure immediately afterward. Either way, this was not handled responsibly. I'm documenting everything, but wanted to leave an honest account in the meantime so others are aware. I expected more care and professionalism from a tire shop given the situation.

I have a precious 2002 Jaguar XJ Sport owned since new. Unfortunately I was rear ended and pushed into another car. Fortunately no material frame damage, but the front and rear were heavily damaged and thus the vehicle was totaled. I bought the car back from the insurance company and was referred to Rabih by AAA to restore it on my dime. Few shops would take this job on, but Rabih showed genuine compassion for my situation and my love of the Jaguar. He is a car guy. Due to the age of the car (22 years), it was hard to get all the necessary parts, but Rabih persisted and personally tracked down even the most difficult pieces to restore the Jaguar to "as new" condition. Some reviews say he is expensive. I am experienced in car repair and can say with authority he is priced right on the market, actually a little lower considering the EXCELLENT quality of his shop's work. Quality is critical for major repairs, or nightmares will manifest over time. My Jaguar drives perfectly and looks pristine a year later. That's what matters.
