The absolute BEST place for all your car troubles. Edwin is so knowledgeable, honest & helpful. The whole team there makes you feel at home and at ease. Highly recommend!!! read more

Highly recommend and have been trusting Edwin and his team with my cars for years and there's good reasons for that. He's reliably up front- when a repair is needed and a part is taken out of the car and replaced, he will show me the old part and show me what went wrong and will explain the process of the repairs in a way I can understand. Edwin is flexible in scheduling a repair or oil change at a time and date that works for me. He is honest; doesn't give me the run around. Edwin will assess the car situation, tell you what needs to be done, the parts required and for how much so there's no surprises. Edwin's Garage knows what they are doing and I know my car is in good and able hands when its brought to Edwin. read more

I cannot imagine giving Edwin anything less than 5 stars. I have sent my whole family to him for years now. He is the very best mechanic any of us have ever had. He is so kind, honest and trustworthy and, having raced cars... very, very knowledgeable about them. If I'm out of town and something happens to my car I will text him and he gets right back with helpful info. I wouldn't hesitate to have my car towed directly to him if I'm out of town as that is how much I trust him to be the person I want working on it and not just the nearest repair station. Edwin is a truly honest mechanic, charging reasonable prices and providing excellent customer service. A unicorn in the car repair world!.... I cannot recommend him enough. read more

Absolute pleasure to work with. Came early for an oil change and they only had me wait 15 minutes, and another 10 minutes to get me back on the road. They also filled up my windshield wiper fluid as a service. I'll be sure to come back for all my car needs. Thank you Edwin! read more

My family and I have been going to Edwin's Garage on Avenue 64 in Highland Park for years, and we wouldn't trust our cars with anyone else. Edwin is consistent, skilled, and above all--honest. His prices are fair, and he tells it like it is: if your car needs something, he'll let you know; if it doesn't, he won't upsell you. That kind of integrity is rare in a mechanic. Before we found Edwin, I used to take my car to another shop, and it felt like a never-ending cycle--fix one thing, and something else would mysteriously break. With Edwin, it's different. He fixes it right the first time, and the car runs smoothly. He's always on point and does an outstanding job. I highly recommend Edwin! read more

Edwin did not want to work on my car. So he gave it back to me and stopped responding to my text. I Lived very close and was hoping it would work out he seemed really nice and acted like he wanted to help me save money by telling me what parts I should buy. But in the end I'm not sure why he blew me off. I guessing taking off the front bumper was too much of a task... read more

Great service!! He's the most trustworthy mechanic I know. Excellent quality and excellent customer service

I'm a gearhead. I've been through many a project car and I'm extremely particular with services and sourcing parts for my cars. So much so, that I do just about all repairs, maintenance, and upgrades myself. Hell, I've built quite my own little shop in the process. It's a passion of mine. But there are some things which you really just shouldn't do, as much as you want to try. Things like wheel alignments. Things like flashing your ECU with a Stage 2 APR Tune. Things like LS Swapping a mk4 supra (just don't do that). Here's my little story: My A/C compressor went out in my Montero this summer. My plan was to replace the compressor, condenser, accumulator and drier myself. However, to do this safely and responsibly (and legally) I needed to discharge my A/C Refrigerant. If you're familiar with R134a, it's about 1,000 times worse for the environment than CO2 - so you can't just vent it out in the air. Not ethically anyway. To recycle R134a the right way, you need a machine that costs hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of dollars. For a shop this type of machine is a necessary tool, but for a dude with a garage and a silly little project car? Not so much. I called around to just about every shop in the area and got the run around "nah we don't do that anymore we have to do the whole replacement service" or "ah my machine can't do that" blah blah blah. And then a couple days ago I was driving by sweating in this crazy heat and decided I'd pop into Edwin's shop. I gave him my spiel, "I just need the freon discharged so I can do the repair myself, and then I'll come back to get it charged again" and he was like "ah no problem. We can do that." Gave me some advice to make sure we were on the same page and everything. I do the repair, bring it back, filled right back up without a hitch with all the new parts. A/C Blows Ice cold. No problem. We talked for about 20 mins after just kinda shooting the breeze, swapping stories about where we source 3.8 flywheels and how to repair impossible-to-find window regulators on older cars. I also noticed all the beautiful old cars he had around the shop. Special little rarities. The Porsche Speedster. The Delorean in the garage. A beautiful IrocZ Camaro with the T-Tops. A beautiful old studebaker. A brand new Jag F-Type sitting next to an older Jag XK8. An Xterra with ARB accoutrements. It's clear his customers respect his wisdom. You can tell this is not just a job for Edwin, but it's a passion of his. I gotta say, there are a handful of times when I find a mechanic that is so open and easy to talk to as Edwin. But it's very refreshing. Ronaldo at Eurozone is really great. Tony at Silverlake Auto is good dude. Edwin? Dude, he gets it. He not only listens, but he'll hear you. I don't need a mechanic very often as I usually do this stuff myself, but I'll be referring everyone I know to him, that's for sure. P.S. If you're concerned at all about price, he's exceptionally reasonable. read more

See all

I took my Honda to Edwin. He was friendly, knowledgable, and explained the work he recommended be done. He gave me a reasonable estimate and performed the work in a timely manner. I highly recommend this business. read more

I bought a little weekend car that seemed like 90% ready to drive and just needed a little work on the carburetor to drive like a champ. At least that was my diagnosis of the car, which turned out being quite wrong. Towed my car to Edwin's shop, because I saw the reviews and wanted to trust a local mechanic with my car instead of taking it to one of the Italian car specialists in the valley for a bigger bill. I left it on Monday late and was told that I would get a call Weds to let me know what they saw. I called on Weds because I couldn't wait for their call, and Linda told me that they had to clear the gas tank and refill it because the gas that I had in there "was dead." That seemed plausible, it was sitting for about 4 months. Waited a couple more days to get the call to hear the car was ready and the call did not come. I called back and they were still adjusting the carburetor and trying to figure out why it didn't idle properly. 4 days in the shop with Edwin and I was starting to get concerned and started to think I should have taken it to the Italian specialists instead. I drove to see the car and Edwin explained the problem they found. Carburetor needed to be taken apart and resealed - basically rebuilt. Then they had to also seal the exhaust manifold. 10 days at the shop and the communication was a little patchy but the work looked good. Long story short, the car was a headache but Edwin took care of it and it did not cost me a small fortune. At last my car is back in my hands several weeks after dropping it off and it runs well. Edwin did a great job with it. It runs and sounds like a proper purring Italian engine. Edwin was thorough and efficient in his diagnosis and repairs. The work took longer than expected but was well worth the wait. This is going to be my go to shop for this car from now on. Thanks guys. read more

HP sent me him when I really needed help. read more

My mother took her car to Edwin consistently because she said Edwin is the nicest and most honest and reasonable mechanic she's ever known. Anyhow he helped me readily with a few things righton the spot then he also helped me with a car I was selling and all I have to say is mother knows best! Edwin is a great mechanic and wonderful, honest person! A+++++ all around!Best mechanic ever! read more

Wish I could give them more than 5 stars! Two weeks ago, I got a service alert that my front breaks needed to be replaced. I got a quote from a friend recommendation that was nearly $400 and I'd have to drive all the way over to Reseda (boo). I remembered that there was a shop 2 minutes for me and heard great things about it from other people in the neighborhood. Called them and had a very reasonable quote and an appointment booked for a few days out within an hour. Linda and Edwin and genuinely so helpful and nice. Now that my Mini Cooper is out of warranty, I will be bringing it back here for any other service I need. read more

Years ago the Italian guy in BH closed his shop and my 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider has been looking for someone who understands him ever since. FOUND HIM!!! I've been going there for years to buy gas, never thought about service. In despair after a serious of botched repair attempts, I gave him a try and in no time he had it running better than new and charged me next to nothing. Took his time explaining everything and answering my silly questions. Highly recommend! read more

Great place to care for your car. Edwin and Linda are so nice, helpful Nd honest plus fair prices and great communicators.

Wow! This place is just AWESOME. It's like a throwback to the good ol days when a service station provided, well, service. Edwin is the owner and he's simply a really good guy. He and two other very nice mechanics provide all kinds of services in their two-bay garage. In the short time that I've known Edwin, he has given me great guidance and advice as it relates to my old van that I'm renovating. He has worked on (fixed) the air-conditioning, oil/tune-up, radiator, and tire installation. Edwin has extensive car knowledge including race experience, so he knows cars. He's very easy to talk to and will take all the necessary time to explain what he thinks. His prices are incredibly reasonable! This is simply a fantastic service station. (I think his customers and the locals already know that.) Sorry Chevron, Arco, Shell and others, I'm now also getting my fuel here - support your local community business! If you're looking for a great local service station, this is the place. Check them out. Thanks Edwin! read more

I always bring my cars here for any maintenance . Great prices. He never lets me down! read more

Edwin's Garage - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Edwin has got to be the most honest mechanic I've ever dealt with. I've brought in my truck a few times thinking the worst and it ends up being something minor. That seemed to never happen at the other place I took it for the few years Edwin was gone. Prices are always fair and he lets you know upfront what things will cost. read more

Took care of my alternator and rear brakes in about 6 hours, even worked on my tires and took care of my inside bulb for free. I was terrified that I'd have to miss deliveries all weekend just to wait for my car to be repaired but he made me his first priority and took care of everything super fast. To add to that, he ordered me additional tire bolts just to make sure that I wouldn't have to deal with the issues my tire was facing before. He's incredibly kind, courteous and really goes the extra mile for his customers, that and his prices were beyond fair. Thank you again Edwin, I really appreciate everything today. Will definitely be coming back for any other car issues. read more

I honestly recommend Edwin's garage for his hard work and honesty, he offers fair prices and is willing to work with the customer. He schedules his customers for on-time performance and customer satisfaction. I take my car and my wife's car to him because I truly trust his diagnostics, estimated price for the job to be done and on time performance. I have recommended his services on the neighborhood NextDoor app to several neighbors who have asked for referrals on mechanics read more

Edwin is awesome. He has given me a lot of good advice on two of my cars--he always has good recommendations on the least expensive way to do things, and never upsells. When he's explaining things, he's very patient, and unlike a lot of mechanics, he makes eye contact with women. His prices are really fair. I recommend him to everybody I know. read more

This is probably the first time I have posted on yelp in years but a place like Edwin's is special. He is a magician with cars and without him my car would not be on the road today. He is also honest and does his best to keep that car on the road without breaking the bank. My only fault with Edwins Garage is that there is only one Edwin because he so popular around here. read more

Edwin is a great helpful dude!! Great attitude affordable prices, and delivers the vehicle right on time!! No cutting corners, honest trustful mechanic in town, no doubt, I been coming here for over 5 +years and counting!! I do recommend this place.... read more

Edwin is the man. Great service and follows up on his work if there are any issues after you leave. Fair prices, too. There are a lot of auto shops in the area but I highly recommend this one. Small operation so you may have to plan ahead with them or come back. read more

So happy a guy I can trust is in the neighborhood. I remember one time I asked for a tire gage so I could put air in tires; he gave me one and said "keep it." More recently went for battery and transmission fluid change. He gave details about what he encountered during the change that made me feel he cares about doing a good job. Cons: he's busy, but a sign he's a good mechanic. Prices are a good deal too. read more

Seems to be honest , reliable mechanic. Explains everything thoroughly, great work and great prices. My dad also brings his car here and I'll continue to do so and recommend Eddie to anyone that needs work done read more
