It's my time to pop in a review; after coming to this location for the last several years I can assure to those who are not well versed in automotive jargon that this shop is absolutely reliable and will always be transparent with what they can do, what your vehicle needs, and the value of service you will receive. I've taken in my cars for minor things to larger maintenance matters and inspections. Oil changes and transmission servicing are quick and simple. Never a hassle, they will give you the service you asked for and will advise you of any issues that they observe, but will not force you to receive servicing for other issues. I've brought in my Corolla for heavy work such as replacing motor mounts, renewing the brake components, repairing axles and control arm issues. They absolutely make sure your vehicle runs smooth and will not turn break apart like Lego pieces. *Even better since I was able to purchase my own parts and get servicing completed within the same day. When I used to bring in my MR2, they did all the necessary work when an issue came up. They taught me why something didn't work or made a funny noise, and troubleshooted the problems with ease. I'll always appreciate their dedication and consistency in their work ethic. Come to this shop if you don't know where else to go, cause all the cool cars do. read more

Long-time customer and this place never disappoints. Honest mechanics who actually care about your car, not just the bill. I've seen the shop pass from father to son and the quality has stayed solid. Big shoutout to Kaya for always being helpful and easy to work with. This is my go to shop, hands down. read more

The guys at City garage are honest, they have integrity and their pricing is excellent! Highly recommend recommended, thank you Jay read more

I had a feeling a mechanic nearby was trying to scam me, and they were. All four o2 sensors don't just blow out of the blue. I called a bunch of shops for quotes, this was the only shop that not only admitted there was likely an underlying issue- but that we can look at the car together so they can show me. I drove over and they looked at my car immediately, lifted her up and showed me one of the o2 sensors had popped out of the exhaust, a very easy and fairly cheap fix. These guys are fast, fairly priced, and honest! Cannot recommend them more. read more

Yes come here for your car needs! I usually get helped by Tony and I'm not a car person but he keeps it real with me and explains to me what is being done in a way that I can easily understand. I'm usually scared coming to a mechanic out of fear that they'll scam me but not here. I feel as if their prices are fair and they are some nice guys. Go eat at La chancla while you wait! read more

It can be scary taking your car into a new shop, but I immediately trusted these dudes, and they did not disappoint. They offer fair prices, and they even went the extra mile with service to source material for me and compare prices with other companies. It's a good feeling to find a car shop you trust--you can rely on them! read more

Kaya always is amazing and they provide quality service at a great price. Has been my go to for the last 4 years since I moved to Long Beach and will continue to be my go to! read more

A bunch of crooks,don't be Scammed because if they do the head service they end up using the same gaskets instead of new ones I'm letting you guys know for experience read more

Referred my sister-in-law here after Pep Boys quoted her some ridiculous price to do her brakes on her Toyota Sienna. City Garage did an inspection and found that only the front needed to be serviced. They resurfaced the rotors and installed new pads at a fraction of the cost and got it done within a couple of hours! Honest guys that do honest work here. Highly recommended! read more

Kaya was amazing! Helped me find what I needed and made it work for my situation. Super friendly service. Would definitely recommend and will definitely come back. read more

I've been coming to this shop for about 8 years with different cars. I like to get there early or call ahead of time because they do get busy (being great priced and reliable). Rough estimate was basically the same as the price paid and at least for me the rough estimate included parts AND labor. I was pleasantly surprised and was even shown what they were fixing. Even got a warranty on the parts. Owners son Kaya is maintaining this business well! read more

Jay thanks for helping out one of the best car repair shop in Long Beach good prices wonderful customer service... read more

I cant believe I havent reviewed City Garage yet! Heres all the good stuff, they QUICKLY respond to yelp messages with quotes, they take you right away, ive rarely had to wait long for service, the owner is highly attentive, friendly and appears to treat his staff good. I USED to go to a major spot for my oil changes, but for what that old place charged for regular oil, I can get synthetic here! As a woman, I have always felt comfortable here, even speaking to other customers, they say how happy they are going there too. The cons, its small, but thats ok. No bells and whistles, but if that keeps costs down, Im all for it. Support local and use City Garage! read more

My wife and I came into the shop this morning with an unusual situation that Jay and Kaya were more than happy to help us with. While taking a look under our car, they discovered an issue with one of our tires and helped us to get that taken care of as well. The customer service here is through the roof and unmatchable! The team sincerely cares and it shows. I will for sure be recommending them to friends/family and will forever take my business to them!! Thank you again Jay and Kaya! read more

My check emissions light and Vsa light came on, and my car felt a little shakey. I took it to the dealer first and they told me I needed a new engine plus a bunch of other stuff and my estimate was $8700. I called City Garage and spoke to Marlon and he immediately put me at ease. We had a plan and it was still way cheaper than the dealer. I towed it over and after inspecting it, the guys here realized I didn't need a new engine at all, just some minor fixes and my car is running great for a fraction of the dealer's estimate. I will bring all my cars here from now on. I'm so relieved to have found an honest, affordable mechanic in the area. read more

Need some aftermarket parts installed on my car. Called around, and City Garage had the best price and the soonest appointment time. I was having some suspension work done along with new brake pads and rotors installed. Took my car in around lunch on a Friday, and a few hours later my car was ready. It's been about a week and my brakes are working great and the suspension is doing what it's supposed to. All in all, a good experience and will be back for more needed work. Thanks! read more

I always come here for car repairs or if I have any questions. Both Jay and Kaya are amazing and very knowledgeable about their work. Everyone here is very patient and honest about their work. I couldn't recommend this place enough. :) read more

Thank you Marlon!!! You did it again! My baby Pearl is ready for the road!!! Never going anywhere else!!! read more

City Garage - Thanks Marlon!!! You are the shizzzzz!!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

Gotta say thanks to this shop, I don't even know where to start. I have a 2018 charger they did the diagnostics and helped me with the tune up right away. They looked busy but they found time to get my car fixed right away. Super honest and easy to work with, never feel like their scamming me like most mechanics dent to do. I highly recommend everyone to come here. read more

Been going here for different repairs over the years. Today they installed a set of Eibach springs on my 22 Durango. Dropped it off at 8 and by 11 it was done! The guys are all friendly and knowledgeable. Pricing was reasonable. This is a great shop for custom mods as well as normal day to day repairs. Definitely recommend City Garage. read more

After shopping around, I decided to trust Marlon and his crew to do the lift on my Tacoma, and very pleased with it! These guys rock, they do a great job, And go above and beyond to make sure to ensure customer satisfaction. They changed out my rear leaf springs, added coilovers to the front, shocks to the back, and upper control arms. They also mounted new tires on rims and installed with a wheel and balance. Adjusting the height on the coil overs was a job in itself, but they got it to complete satisfaction. I definitely trust these guys and highly recommend them to anybody considering adding a suspension to their car, weather going up or down or both! read more

City Garage - Love my Wheels for my Porsche - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

Found this shop through a yelp search. Brought my 528i to have brake pads put on. I had reservations actually giving another shop a try being that I had such a bad experience with another prior. However I'm so happy that I found this shop ! A shop that FINALLY listens to their customer when asked to just work on requested service and not touch anything else! I felt very comfortable leaving my car. I was assured that it'd be done by the end of day and it was !! Also informed me of the wear on my tires and that I'll need to get new ones ASAP. which I should've listened to him because that same night my back left tire blew :/ Friendly and sufficient with their work. My brakes are the best they'll ever been in quite a while. Definitely will be bringing my car back here for future services! Thank you Marlon and Kaia ! read more

These guys always come through and make things happen. Great customer service. I'll definitely be back

Came here for a tune up after Reading Yelp Reviews. The guys and the young lady Receptionist Were friendly. I waited while my car got serviced, the Spark Plugs Were Delivered Fast, So I didn't have to wait that long. The only thing that Made me feel Uncomfortable and that Wasn't Really Professional, was the Owner Discussing With his Employees in front of me the customer that Basically That They Should've Charged me More, "And that Prices Went Up" yada yada yada, at that point I Wanted to leave, But I Stayed and So Far I'm Satisfied. read more

Shoutout to Jay & Marlon for helping me out, I don't/didn't know much about my car and these guys are honest and helped me a lot with my little Honda read more

This is the best garage I've been to! I have been led astray by many places and overcharged a lot (especially because I'm a girl) but this place has always done their best to explain to me everything they are doing and shown me what's going on. I trust them fully and my car runs better than ever. Prices are fair and they will always do great work. This is a reliable garage and those are hard to find. read more

We were recommended this place by a friend of ours in 2019 and have been taking our cars there ever since. They are our go-to shop as Marlon, Kaya and their team are some of the best - personable, reliable, and no frills neighborhood auto shop. They are so good at what they do, they can diagnose your car problems without hesitation and fix it immediately. I usually have a heavy level of skepticism when it comes to auto mechanics. But after taking my car here several times, I've learned to trust them with very little skepticism. read more

Had my boyfriend take our Honda Civic si in, to get it dropped. They did a really good job for a good price too. I'm really happy with my car! I bought my own suspension kit for them to use, I bought a D2 suspension kit. I've spoken to the owner a while back before. He has a very trusting personality. I went to other car shops and I didn't feel comfortable leaving our car with other people. But I felt completely comfortable w/ Marlon. I'm most definitely coming back to get other things done to our car here! Thank you so much for the great price point and for awesome service. read more

I had a very bad experience recently with City Garage. I brought my car in on a Saturday because it was sounding pretty bad and I knew that the bearing on the water pump had to be replaced, the shop was busy so at the end of the day they told me they didn't have time to replace it and we discussed which days were slower and I told them I would be back on Tuesday and off I went. The next day I drove the car and later that night on my way home the water pump broke and the engine was basically ruined. I had it towed back to the shop and at the end of the following day they called me to inform me that the water pump was replaced but that the engine was most likely ruined and also by the way, the mechanic thought it was a very bad idea for me to take the car back on Saturday. My engine was ruined but I had a new water pump thanks to their awesome communication. The whole ordeal cost me about $6,300 total and they refused to refund me for the water pump job. read more

Thanks Marlon for your comment but you are fully aware that I returned that day for the complimentary oil change but then you left the shop after you see me. I told you about it over the phone too. I made schedule with you also. Anyway this review is for my 4 tires that I got from this shop that didn't last for a year. read more

I recommend this place to all my friends. Decent price with a decent turn around time. So far no problems with anything from my cars or my friends cars. I'll continue to go here for more stuff read more

My boys at City Garage always look out for me! Marlon is fantastic, lovely to deal with and fun. You can get an affordable oil change there for around $20-$30; plus they can deal with complex car problems. My Prius recently needed the vent cleaned that cools the main hybrid battery (talk about major girl panic here) and Marlon's son Kaia took care of it for much less than the dealer wanted to charge me. My daughter blew out her tire on her Jeep Patriot and they took care of that, and also replaced my worn front tires (before they blew up!). They're a pleasure to deal with and ladies, some major eye candy! Just sayin'.....nice to spend some time there on any day. read more

I would get my services / oil changes done here while I lived in Long Beach. I love that the mechanics are no-nonsense, straight to the point, and give me their full attention. The pricing is fair and the customer service is just right. As a woman these things are hard to come by with auto shops. City Garage is legit. Good honest business. PS They also would compliment my car and it was the only time I felt cool. read more

Wonderful place very fast and they inform me about the problems and things I might need to check for in the future .. nice staff clean they worn mask I'll come here for the rest of my repairs from now on read more

Amazing service, great down to earth people, and Marlin (the owner) happens to be the nicest guy. I'm a forever costumer here! read more
