I had originally scheduled an appointment for maintenance with Arcadia Service Center through AAA website. When I showed up, the shop was closed. Another customer said she had been waiting there since 8 a.m. and no one had picked up the call. There was no sign explaining why it was closed on a weekday. I was in search of another mechanic that could take care of my car this week. I remembered a family member highly recommending Double Dragon Auto Repair to me, so I called to get the address. As soon as I got there, Zach greeted me warmly, even though we were strangers. I told Zach about what went down earlier that morning at the dealership. He listened with a sympathetic ear. He explained this car brand is very reliable. Based on his experience, my car should not require a lot of repairs unless it had over 75,000 miles on it. He asked if the car engine went on. I said no. I told him my car had less than 16,000 miles on it. I showed him the list of things that the dealer had recommended doing on my car for $790 ($690 after a $100 discount) earlier that morning. He popped the hood and pointed out all of the rat droppings scattered all over the engine area. Gross, right? Yet the mechanic at the dealership who last touched my car earlier that morning made no mention of this as they replaced the recalled coils. Zach recommended steam cleaning my car and check my air filter, since I have not changed it for quite some time. He broke down the estimate service by service. The next day, I dropped off my car and asked him, on an impromptu, if he could also top off my fluids. He readily agreed, even though this wasn't originally on our agreement. Not only did not charge me extra for topping off the fluids, he even completed the job in less than three hours. On to pdf that, he even washed my grime crusted car for free. When I arrived, he had popped the hood to allow me to inspect the spanking clean metal and plastic. Wow. Just wow. Before I left, he gave me tips on how to keep my car rat free. He also recommended that I wash my car after L.A. rain so the dirt and grime would not stick to the paint. Even though this is not his car, he takes great pride in his work. He will treat your car with love and respect as if it was his. I drove away proud that I own this beautiful car, sans rat droppings, because that is how much I am inspired by Zach. Double Dragon is located in a long rectangular plaza right next to the stop sign, tucked between 99 Barbell Fitness and the newly built L.A. County Library. You literally turn right at the stop sign and drive all the way to the back to Suite G, which is the second or third suite from the back end of the plaza. read more

I know the head mechanic Zach from way back in the day when he was working for another reputable shop and repairing my various European cars. I remember always telling him, then, that he practically ran that place and should setup his own shop. So I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered he finally did after all these years. Couple of weeks ago I went to see him when a check engine sign came on on my BMW. Previous to this, I went to 3 different places and all of them wanted charge me between $100-150 just to check the issue. So when I went to Zack, he checked it for Free! He also gave me a quote and didn't pressure me to get the work done on the spot, which is pretty cool. Finally, on Saturday, I went back and to fix the issue. The original quote he gave me was for $1200 as a lot of parts had to be replaced, but when I came back to pickup the car, he only charged me $1100 since the problem was not as bad as he though it would be. So I though to myself, a mechanic with a conscious is definitely a keeper. He also went as far to check to see if any of the engine signs was covered under warranty and luckily one of them was!! He could have easily charged me more as this was a separate issue and I would have never known that I could have gotten it fixed for free under BMW's extended warranty. What an honest place!! Yesterday, my friend who has an Audi, had issues with his brakes. He had gone to the Audi dealer on Friday and they had quoted him $490 just to replace two rear brake pads. So I called Zack and told him the model and read BMW's quote to him as far as what needed to be replaced and he said he can do it for $300, almost $200 less than the dealer. He also mentioned that he always uses OEM parts like the dealerships as opposed to cheap Chinese or Taiwanese knockoff parts that some independent mechanics use. In closing, Zack is very knowledgeable when it comes to BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Bentley, or any other European luxury brands as he has been working on them for years. If you have a car that is out of warranty and you want quality work from a honest mechanic, go see Zack at Double Dragon Auto Repair. Not only does he work on engines, etc, but also electrical issues such as power windows, moon roofs, and other such matters. read more

I had such a pleasant experience here! As we know the weather in LA has been absolutely unbearable, and to my luck my AC stopped blowing air!! I called every single auto shop just to see if they could offer me a consultation, but they either didn't answer or were booked until next week. (I didn't want to wait that long) but as soon as I called here they said to bring it over right away since they weren't too busy. When I got there I can't lie I was extremely intimidated because the place where the shop Is located is kind of small. But someone immediately asked what I was here for and directed me to park in front of the shop. I was greeted by Zack! Who was incredibly kind and welcoming and immediately looked at my car to see what was the problem. A minute later my fans started to work! AND I PROMISE. All of this morning it was not working, so I don't know if Zack had some sort of magic hand lol. He also tried to get the dent in the front of my car, even if he wasn't able to take it out it was a really nice gesture! I'll definitely be back, thank you so much Zack!! read more

I pulled in with a coupon to the lot of repair shops just past his (if you're heading East on Live Oak.) The guy had 2 ahead of me, after I called in to check if I'd need an appointment. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed, and couldn't afford to wait that long. No hard feelings to them, though. Won't be named because they deserve business too. Anyway, a guy notices I look a little despondent and asks me if I am looking for a shop. I reply no, but then think twice. I ask him if he does smog checks. Nope, but he knows a guy, Zack, on the other side (back to back with his shop.) He calls up, gets me a quote, and I head over. Zack gets to work immediately, and is very friendly, despite the fact that I lack the barcode to automatically input my info. We get everything into the system, and off he goes to finish the check. Probably not even 20 minutes later, I've paid (a reasonable price), and received my certificate. He is not stuck up, he has great customer service, and he deserves your business. Definitely a place I would recommend to friends and family for repair work/smog. read more

I had my Porsche window broken into the day before Thanksgiving in the rain.

I don't ever write reviews but felt compelled to do so after the AMAZING service I received from Zack today. After months of driving aimlessly, which I was told by a tech at Smog Test only center (3 visits), an auto mechanic, and the Nissan dealer that all I can do is to drive my car. One really rude guy at the Mobil station in Arcadia refused to even let me talk and wanted $95 for a diagnostic! I was about ready to give up and sell my car. Zack treated me with respect and tested my car right away. I explained my problems, he asked me a few questions. Only 30-40 mins later he says ok it's ready. He even put air in my tires since it was low. I was so happy and relieved! He is my savior and very professional and knows his stuff! If your car cannot pass, then take it to Zack! read more

Zack came through for me big time! I needed my air conditioning air compressor replaced and I had over 8 quotes in the area from $1000-$2800!Zack not only gave me a good deal- he actually waived labor since a new unit was $650 alone. He had my car done in one day and replaced spark plugs and hoses that I asked for at a killer price! He didn't try to up-sale me for anything and gave me a free diagnostics test on top of everything! I will be using this shop for every car in the family. Thanks Zack! read more

I am not from Arcadia, I found Zack when I was in Arcadia and needed service QUICK and someone recommended him highly. I now drive from Temecula, CA. to Arcadia (almost 2 hr drive) to have him work on my car. I do not want anyone else touching my Bimmer if I can help it. (I prefer Zack over the MB and BMW Dealerships). I have a 3 series with Dinan. Zack is the most knowledgeable and trustworthy I have found. Also recently I found two pre-owned Mercedes for two family members and Zack saved us money for both, he really knows how to troubleshoot and let you know if a used car is worth you purchasing or to stay away from. He works on everything from exotics to daily drivers and gives you top class service with both. Know that even though that even know he can work on a Bently, Ferrari and exotics and you may only have a Honda, Toyota or Ford you can bring any car to him and have a reasonable price. THE BEST BY FAR! read more
