DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO…read moreBUTCH'S! My experience with this shop was nothing short of a nightmare. The mechanics are completely untrustworthy and unprofessional. I initially brought my car in for overheating issues. They diagnosed the problem and charged me $500 to replace two hoses and a thermostat. I was told they drove the car for 100 miles and that everything was working fine. I picked up the car, drove just a block, and it overheated again. I brought it back, and they admitted to installing the wrong size hose. After supposedly fixing that, I picked the car up again--only for it to overheat yet again on my way to work, right before getting on the freeway. This was now the third time I had to bring it back. They said they'd re-diagnose the issue. Later, they called and told me the real problem was now the water pump and timing belt, and quoted me $3,000 to fix it. At that point, I told them I'd be picking up my car and wanted a refund, as they had failed to fix the issue from the start. The employee was defensive and only apologized after I pointed out how unprofessional and careless their service had been. I explained that driving a car while it's overheating is dangerous, especially since I have children in the vehicle. This place is shady, dishonest, and lacks any accountability. I truly hope the Better Business Bureau investigates them, because businesses like this are what give San Pedro a bad reputation.

My expectations of this place were exceeded and now I'm back out on the road!

Overpriced If I could give this shop 10 NEGATIVE darts, I…read morewould! Short version of a longer story: After searching for mechanics that could repair my 2014 S.U.V. I chose this shop because the owner ("Johnny") appeared knowledgeable about engines, like how one could get damaged, and how to best fix it. I had my vehicle towed to his shop, late 2023, from a different shop, after getting a quote of around $9k to replace the engine block. As the replacement and repairs were done, the price kept increasing. I borrowed and spent over $10,757 for the replacement of the engine and various components. I got a Cashier's check for $8,500 and was going to pay the rest by card and cash. He insisted I take the Cashier's check back to the bank and pay him in ALL CASH or he would not release my vehicle! That, to me, was a SHAKEDOWN. If he lies and states it didn't happen, I'll PROVE UP! I took the Cashier's check back to the bank and handed him cash. I got the keys to my car and left. After driving it for a couple of minutes, I realized how peculiar it drove. I pulled over, checked the engine and called Johnny. He asked me to bring it back & they'd run a diagnostic. I did and he told me "no codes" were detected. He lied. His manager told me there were codes. **By doing that, he simply confirmed what I had suspected (once repairs began) I couldn't TRUST that street urchin.*** I replaced the catalytic converter, all of the ignition coils and nothing cured the MISFIRE codes I continued to get. I even took it to Ford and they had it for THREE (3) days, unable to detect the issue on the NEW engine I'd paid Johnny over $10k for. They (Ford) suggested I take my car back to his shop, but I didn't trust him/them to treat me fairly and/or to make a good faith effort in locating the root of the issue. Especially because I felt like whatever the issue was, had been intentionally done by them. I recommend anyone considering this shop, look elsewhere. I wouldn't trust taking a Tonka Toy there, let alone your primary vehicle. After he demanded I pay him in cash, threatened to withhold my vehicle and gave me a car with a misfiring engine, he had the GALL to ask me to write him a review. Here you go, boy.

It's rare to find a place that hits all three: great people, quick turnaround, and great prices. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to and recommending to others.

Came in today complaining of squealing brakes on my E46 BMW M3. I brought my own OEM front and rear…read morebrake pads, just in case. They were cool about using my parts. They also gave me a ride back home. Labor is a normal $110 per hour. It was determined that the problem was the aftermarket Textar pads squeaking in the rear. The recommended procedure for this car is to replace the brake rotors along with the pads. I didn't know that. Now I do. Bummer, but OK. My problem is that the shop decided to also replace the front pads and rotors, which increased the job by $429 plus tax on parts. While I also authorized this work to be done, if needed, these non-squeaking OEM pads still had about 40% life remaining. I would have appreciated a bit more overall stewardship of my maintenance and being involved in the decision to replacing parts that were still good. I'm also bothered by the "oopsies" on both the labor and parts estimates. I was told that they would "make it up to me" on the next job, but I'm just not feeling comfortable enough to go back. While the mechanical skills seem solid, these guys have to overcome some growing pains on the business skills side.
