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.

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.

I've been coming here for years. I pop in a few times a week, mostly for a big gulp (style drink)…read moreand maybe some snacks. Sometimes I buy gas here, since it's convenient for me. This place is unusual, though, in a good way. They have more staff than any other store like it that I know of. Plus, the staff are all very friendly and helpful... and I mean all of them. It's not an easy spot either. They get a ton of middle schoolers and many unhoused people. I've witnessed many incidents where people didn't have enough money or caused other problems that would have been a huge deal at most places. However, the staff here always seems to handle situations with both charity and grace. I don't know who owns/manages this place, but if I had my own business, I'd try to lure them and most of the staff away. They have many bad reviews below. I feel bad. I've never used the car wash, since I not one to wash my car. However, I will say they just totally redid their car wash this year. So maybe the reviews below have more to do with the old one. The gas isn't the cheapest, but it's not any more expensive than your average place. I guess you can't have it all, though. Huh?

Avoid! Credit card info was stolen and used after going here…read more I went here once for a single car wash and was told I have to swipe my credit card instead of using Apple Pay. I am now getting fraudulent charges on my card from this business. It's a big hassle because I had to call my credit card company to flag it and get reissued a new card. I definitely will not be returning to get car washes here.

The owner of this gas station is an angel in the City of Angels! He saved me hundreds of $$$!…read more This is a great gas station owned by an incredible guy. Hovik, who owns this place is one of the kindest people you'll meet in Los Angeles. I met Hovik when I was driving down the 5 Freeway during morning rush hour. A motorcyclist knocked my passenger side mirror off my car, and I had to keep driving without it. I thought I had lost my mirror forever, and would have to pay several hundred dollars to get a new one installed. A few minutes later, a pick-up truck pulls up in the lane next to me and begins honking. I'm worried that this is an angry motorist, as we are all conditioned to fear on the freeways these days. But no, it was a man waving and holding my mirror in his hand!! This kind soul turned out to be Hovik. We pulled over, and he tells me that he saw my mirror get knocked off, leaned out of his truck ON THE FREEWAY to pick it up, and flagged me down. He even re-installed my mirror right there on the side of the 5 freeway! It looks perfect now, saving me time and money all because of Hovik. If everyone were like the man who owns this gas station, the world would be a better place. This man did not know me, did not owe me anything, and took the time to help me out in traffic. You make me feel good about living in Los Angeles, Hovik. Support this man and his gas station. There are few people as good as him in this town!

I rarely review gas stations. Sometimes you don't have a choice and go to one out of necessity…read more This station is down the street from where I live. It's convenient but prices are a little high. It's clean, has an auto repair shop, and a small convenience store. You do have to be careful because there have been issues with card skimmers. I always pay cash. This is a good thing because otherwise I would have never met Gary. He's one of the attendants here and he is so incredibly sweet and nice. He has a warm & friendly demeanor. We always have an enjoyable conversation when I stop in. They also have pretty flowers at the bay stations, which is a nice touch.
