I hit a collum at a parking lot and came here for estimate and possible work done. Went over step by step what the charges were before start working on my car. There were no hidden/extra charges afterward either. Very honest and try their best to save me money. It was during lunch time and I had to wait. They even offered me lunch!

I took my car to CJ. Auto based on the positive Yelp reviews and the shop is in the community. My family and I support local businesses. I had spoken with James on the phone the day before and established a time to bring my baby (car)in. When I arrived I was pleasantly greeted by a Korean gentleman. He informed me James was not available but he would assist me. I explained to the gentleman that although I could open my door I had to pull hard on the door handle to open. My concerned was maybe the door handle mechanism would gradually stop functioning. (I have owned the car for a year and four months. I also had a mechanic check the car for me and was told although the car was old, 1995, it was in great condition). I asked the Korean man if they would diagnose the problem. He said he would have his repair man analyze and if minor issue, would make the repair free of charge. I was impressed and said ok. Unfortunately, the diagnose went south. What I thought would be a quick fix turned into an all day ordeal. The first repair man opened the door panel and said a piece was bent. This was an easy fix. However, after attempting to fix the bent piece (the repair man obviously had some problems) he showed me a piece that he said was broke and stated the piece had been broke. Once he put the door panel back on the car, the door handle probably would not work. In short I would not able to open or lock my car door. I reminded the repair man that if the piece was broke and this was preventing the car door from opening, why was my door handle and lock mechanism working up until the time he open the door panel to determine the issue? The repair man attempted to put the door handle, lock and panel back together. Unfortunately, it was malfunctioning, once locked the key could not unlock the car and the door would not open from the inside or the outside of the car. To his credit the repair man diligently attempted to restore the door handle and lock (I didn't bring my car in for a lock issue) back to functioning. James finally arrived. He profusely apologize and assured me they would fix the problem. Another repair man said the part of the door handle decor was glued on hence they could not put the piece back on. James politely offered me lunch and said the guys needed a break. I was not offended by this. Since the guys were taking lunch. James suggested I come back in a couple of hours. More problems happen when it was time to pick up my car. James asked me to bring the spare key because the original key no longer worked to lock and unlock the car. Why I asked? I reminded James the key was working when I first arrived. James basically informed me that the car handle and lock was repaired temporarily. I was told I would not be able to lock my car due to the door handle / lock mechanism piece being broke. I reminded them that these items were functioning when I brought the car in. Please restore my car to the level it was at when I first arrived. At this point the 2nd Korean gentleman behaved rudely and unprofessional. Irately he inquired, "what was his shop to do. My car is old ....." We had a heated exchange. To make a long store short, the 2nd Korean man was rude , unprofessional and spoke harshly. Excuse me, I was the one that should have been irate and demanded that my car handle/lock mechanism and decor be returned to the state it was in before his repair man analyzed my car. He had no respect for me as a customer and talked condescendingly to me. The door handle/ lock works but I don't know for how long. Only one of my keys work now for the door lock as oppose to both keys working (I was told that the first key no longer worked because it's too old. Although the key was working before they dismantled the door panel to access my door handle issue). My door handle decor was not put back on. One of the workers left a dirty footprint on my seat and the door panel is filthy. James is an excellent front man for this repair shop but the second Korean gentleman is unprofessional and disrespectful. I should not have to be accompanied by a man when I need any repair work done on my car. Also a repair shop should be willing to put the customer's car back to the initial functioning level it was at when arrived. If something goes wrong , the repair shop must be willing to accept responsibility for their part and fix their mistakes. I dare say it the right thing to do.

STOLEN !! SO SAD.

Oh I am so happy I found this spot. Great family owned…read morebusiness. I have had multiple issues with my cars. I recently had a kia that wasn't fixable they let me know and also didn't charge me for the work/parts they got since the car was officially de*d....this business stands by their work and they are trustworthy. Key note* they communicate with me clearly and I understand everything that they will do to my car. I am just a girl and idk things about cars lol but they still respect me so that's cool I have since brought in my new car and they are fast. It didn't take long for an oil change and overall check. This is my new spot indefinitely.

I came to this shop months back for calibration, the device drained my battery while I was on the property and the man refused to help me. I was here stuck with my baby struggling and he he was being rude telling me to move my vehicle, as if I could it died. He didn't want to help me jump it so I had to call someone to come help me. Fast forward I scheduled another appointment because there's no other local provider unfortunately he stated there was no tech available the first time I got my vehicle towed to him then the second attempt he said there was also no tech available but he'd still assist me once we walked outside he completely decided to just refuse my service. When I've already been in contact with him twice, he agreed as we were walking outside then completely changed his mind!!! After the vehicle had been towed to him twice. Absolutely outrageous. Not to mention I had an infant child with me this man did not care just wanted to be rude straight up!

My Tacoma which I've had since it was new 18 years ago started making some weird noise that I…read morecouldn't figure out what it was from. I took it in to a place AAA recommended in downtown LA and explain the issue. They told me I needed a new timing chain along with a whole bunch of other stuff and quotes me $4800 for it. This was preceded with a lot of scare tactics on what will happen if I don't have the work done, which came across as very used car salesman-ish. When I ran the quote through ChatGPT I was told they were charging me dealership pricing for an independent mechanic for that type of work in LA. So I brought the truck here to Speedway where I had Minor worked done before and had a good experience. They told me my bearings need to be replaced and did the work for lesson than a quarter of the price I was quoted at the other mechanic. Work was finished in a day and the truck has been running perfectly since then. Had I spent to 4800 at the place it wouldn't have even resolved the issue, which means I would've had to come out of the pocket even more after the initial work was done. Obviously a truck of this age is gonna have some problems and when they inevitably happen again I will be back here at Speedway to take care of them. Highly recommend this place for integrity, quality, efficiency and fair pricing.

I was looking for an affordable synthetic oil change.... hey times are tough.... I found them on…read moreGoogle and offered a coupon. I was okay... gonna check it out.... I drove there and I rightaway took my car in.. there was a bit of a wait but I didnt mind. When I went into the office, the person at the counter was really nice.. he accepted my coupon and I only paid 75 bucks for full synthetic... While I waited for my car.. i went down the street to eat and to a Lil shopping... an hour later my car was done... super nice. I really appreciate them and are close to home.
