Dont go here, he quoted me 4 hours for a job that takes 1 hour max, asking $350, go somewhere else save your money they will take it all.

My car was full of dents and dings and the suspension needed fixing - Ivan was thoughtful and helpful and gave a fair estimate. Just picked up my car today and it looks fresh and clean and the ride is so much smoother now! Thanks Ivan! read more

Thought my alternator needed to be replaced, so I decided to visti Elite Auto. Met Ivan and he took a look at my 2017 Hyundai Sonata and realized that there was nothing wrong with the alternator. Instead and to our surprise, the alternator belt came loose because of a rat or mouse which it also disintegrated. Santiago, the mechanic assigned to the job, cleaned the remnants and shards away and also put the belt back on. 5 stars to you guys. Thank you so much for a clean, efficient and affordable job read more

I had a personal referral to Ivan at Elite Auto Care. My friend works as a mechanic elsewhere, and I used to go to him with my previous car. My current car is a Volvo, so my friend couldn't work on my car, but that's okay. He gave me a great recommendation for a trusted and well priced mechanic. The two times I've brought my car here, I have never once felt like I was being price gouged and I felt like Ivan has been transparent about the recommendations. He also doesn't belittle you like other places I've visited in the past. I recently had my car serviced and I can tell it runs more smoothly. They also gave my car a quick wash before picking it up. Elite Auto Care is my go-to mechanic from now on. read more

I initially came to ELITE because they were open later than other places in the area. I could get there without taking off work. The next morning I had a quote that's was much less than I anticipated. When I picked the vehicle up I was surprised at how much cleaner ELITE was than my previous mechanics. The crew at ELITE Auto are fantastic, you will be recommending them to all your friends. Go see Ivan at ELITE auto, they will take care of everything. Only problem is you're never going to want to take your car anywhere else... because I eve you go to ELITE; your car will finally feel complete!! read more

Ivan and the guys at Elite are my only go-to for car repairs and maintenance. They always give me a fair price, they will work with my schedule, answer my questions, and the whole staff is very friendly. They are a hard working bunch that present a high level of professionalism, and knowledge of their craft. It's not easy finding a mechanic you can trust, especially as a women, and I trust the guys at Elite. I have recommended friends and strangers to take their automotive needs to Elite Autocare, and I'm doing the same for you. Go ahead and compare pricing with others. I'm pretty frugal, so I always shop for the best deal, but after several services at Elite, I know I'm getting a great deal. You may find cheaper, but you'll not get the feeling of trust that you do with Ivan and his staff. Bonus is the awesome massage chair in the waiting room. read more

Outstanding service. Nowadays it is hard to find a mechanic that works on hybrid cars but Ivan was able to help me out. They were professional, honest, and they helped me save a lot of money. I went in for a radiator and inverter coolant change as part of my maintenance for my 2014 Toyota Prius and they did an amazing job. My total amount was under compared to the dealership which was more than $500. He was able to do it for about $200 with the OEM coolant. I will definitely be back to do other services. read more

Straight to the point, no BS, very reasonable pricing, reliable work, efficiently and very communicative customer service . I definitely recommend them !!!! read more

I came into the shop last week and Ivan really went above and beyond to help me figure out what was wrong with my car. He took He was pretty busy but he made sure that if I came back again that he would check to see what the issue was and he sure did! I'm just very pleased with my service here at Elite Auto Care! Ivan was very helpful and the shop is kept very clean inside and out! Definitely check it out Ana stop by! read more

My car's engine was not starting all of a sudden. I was stuck away from Sherman Oaks where I live. So, I started looking for close by mechanics on Yelp and I came across Elite Auto Care with the great reviews. I called them to ask if they do mobile and the guy told me very politely that he would prefer to do it at the shop since he had all the tools and it would cost almost the same to tow the car and repair it there. I didn't have AAA membership then. Ivan generously offered to call one to tow the car for me to the shop. I didn't have cash on me then. Ivan was so nice to offer to pay the towing truck and add that to the bill. That was extraordinary in my opinion. After looking at the car, he told me it was the starter that need to be replaced, got to me with a very reasonable offer ($$) and told me that he will finish in an hour. He finished by then. I tested the car (now for a month) and it runs super great with no issues. I will recommend this shop to everyone I know. Ivan is so nice, honest, and efficient in his job. Thanks, Elite Auto Care! read more

The words that come to mind when I think of my interaction with Ivan at Elite Auto Care: Trustworthy, Efficient, Honest, Affordable. I live in Northern California but my daughter is in college in SoCal. Her car broke down and I needed to find a mechanic fast. I was hesitant to choose a mechanic on Yelp in a region I wasn't familiar with but based on the reviews Ivan already had, I decided to take a chance. Ivan was super helpful and we exchanged phone calls and texts a few times throughout the process. He carefully explained what needed to be done and why it needed to be fixed. I felt completely comfortable and never felt like anyone was trying to take advantage. The fact that he was willing to take care of this interaction via phone only, was truly helpful!! We had the car towed to Elite Auto Care at 12:18 pm and he fixed 3-4 different things on the car and had it ready before 3:30 pm! My daughter was back on the road before the end of the day!! I highly recommend Ivan and his team at Elite Auto Care! read more

Ivan is a godsend. My car was stuck in the middle of an intersection. And ivan was awesome and helped me out. Thank you. Definitely good all around shop. read more

I have been going to Elite Auto Care for over 5 yrs, and hands down....it is the best full service auto care center around! Ivan, who is the owner is by far, the most knowledgeable mechanic, and he really takes his time with you to explain in detail what is going on with your car, which I totally appreciate and his rates are beyond extremely fair. All his mechanics are really great and always do a superb job. They always go above and beyond to make your happy again. read more

After having just moved to California I was searching incessantly for a reliable and trustworthy shop. Calling first thing this morning, Ivan took the time to walk me through some details regarding questions I'd had regarding my Lexus. After completing my initial objective over the phone with his clear and concise information, I brought my car in to check the health of my tires. Ivan was patient, courteous and incredibly professional. I am so relieved to have found this shop, I will be a customer of theirs as long as I am in California. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you! read more

I would highly use them anytime. Freddy was communicated well, straight to the point, respectful, had a great sense of humor and got the job done efficiently. His establishment was professional And all around affordable. read more

I drive just about 60 miles per day transporting my two boys from either the sitter or to school. I rely on my car, and it would not be made possible if it wasn't for ELITE AUTO CARE. I'm definitely impressed with Ivan's courteous service. You would think that a mechanic would be all about making money. But he really puts you first. The service my family received from this establishment if by far most excellent. My family car is in great condition thanks to ELITE AUTO CARE...thanks Ivan! read more

I absolutely love this place! The owner, Ivan, is so nice and his guys give excellent and efficient service. Your car is in great hands at Elite Auto Care! Five stars! read more

I hate to demote my previous five star rating down to only three stars. But, last time I took my Prius to Elite Auto Care, they didn't do a lot of the work that needed to be done. It had a couple of issues that I wanted to be checked out. Also, I asked them to do a 60,000 mile check up, and was told after they examined my car, that it didn't really need anything done, right then. The check engine light had been going on and off for the past couple of months. Since it was off when I took it to the guys at Elite, they said they couldn't figure out what was going on, specifically at that moment. I was somewhat satisfied with that answer, until my dad decided to take the Prius back to the dealership for a second opinion. Apparently, there were multiple things that needed to be done. The dealership had some kind of machine that was able to retrieve data for the previously thrown codes, even when the check engine light was off. They said that records of those codes would still be in the car's computer. It ended up costing over $700 to have the work done. But I'm glad it was completed. Still, Ivan at Elite, seems to be an honest, hard-working guy. I'm guessing that if you just need simple things done, that aren't too specialized, the technology at his place would be enough. I might take my car to him for an oil change and to have fluids replaced. However, I will probably take my car back to the dealership next time, unless I find a better option before then. read more

I've been here for an alternator and a radiator replacement. Both times I received articulate and easy to understand explanations on what the problem was and what the solution was from Ivan and his team. After taking my car here I didn't have to worry about the problem again. They even gave my car a wash. I'll be returning here for future business and I encourage you to do the same read more

I have never been to a mechanic that I trust like Ivan. I never feel like I am walking away with anything but the best advice on what my car truly needs. Thank you for the years of great first class service. read more

Ivan has been taking care of my 2004 Suburban since 2006 and my car runs great, no problems. His prices are reasonable and very affordable. My family and friends All go to him for their mechanic needs. read more

Ivan was very fluid with his work and was upfront and honest. As someone who doesn't know a lot about cars, he presented the upside and downside to each option. His crew got the work done in great time and exceeded my expectations. Update: went again for an oil change and the same great service! Ivan and his crew get the job done. Great to hear they are relocating to a better shop. read more

Great service! Quick service and they were friendly and professional. Perfect place especially for Toyotas and Lexus!

I hit my car on a curve and couldn't drive it home. I looked on yelp for a mechanic and luckily found Elite .5 miles away from where I was. I drove straight there instead of getting towed home. I'm so glad I did! I got my car fixed in less than two hours! I was able to relax in the office and charge my phone so I could dial into my conference calls. THANK YOU IVAN!!! read more

Great service! They have a massage chair and an arcade machine while you wait!! Ivan is very helpful and knowledgeable with cars. read more

See all

Ivan and the crew were great. I went in for a set of kinda oddball tires that usually cost me a fortune. This was by far the least I've ever paid for tires on this car, and I seem to go through a lot of them. They weren't in stock, but they got them in same-day and had me back on the road FAST! It was like a NASCAR pit stop up in there! What's more, on the way home, someone pulled out in front of me from a blind intersection, and I had to make a rapid stop. Who knows, maybe going here for tires saved my life. Probably. read more

Professional team! Ivan knows the solution for every single thing in any car I do both cars and get the best results all the time. Elite Auto Care is absolutely the best in the west! Thanks for the great job! A+++ read more

I was searching online for a certified Lexus repair shop after I received an astronomical estimate from the Lexus dealership. Luckily I came across Ivan at Elite Auto Care I emailed in my information and he gave me an estimate right away much more reasonable than the dealership. Ivan ordered Lexus parts and replaced and serviced the car. My husband drove the 2006 GX470 the other day and commented "boy wherever you had this serviced it has not run this smooth and quiet for years, great job". My husband is picky and was very impressed with the workmanship and the price. Ivan also identified the noisy start up sound we kept hearing (Lexus missed it) as auxiliary air pump and also replaced this item. Now the car purrs and runs smoothly. Ivan is very honest and I was lucky to find him online. He literally was over $1000 less for repairs than the dealership, fair, honest and great workmanship. Highly recommend Ivan and his mechanics. read more

The best in the industry, I always come here for any car repairs, the service is great and the prices are great!!!! I have recommend them to all my friends and family.....Thanks Ivan. read more

I am so glad to have found Ivan and his team! I rely on my vehicle (a large old converted shuttle bus) for my business - if my vehicle is down, I can't make money, and I need to be able to drive all day every day all over town seeing clients. I've been having a problem with my vehicle for months - 2 other mechanics could not solve the problem. I found Elite on Yelp last week and took my truck in to them, and they had it fixed at a reasonable price within hours! The vehicle is driving great now and I can sleep soundly at night knowing I'll be able to work the next morning! I was so happy with their service that I took another car in to them a few days later, and they had that one fixed at a reasonable price (and even gave it back to me sparkling clean!) within hours as well. Ivan and his team are great and I highly recommend them! They really go the extra mile for their clients. Thank you, Ivan! read more

This place is simply amazing! Ivan is amazing at what he does. I've gone to plenty of mechanics for about 5 years now all telling me to get rid of my car, but Ivan was very honest with me telling me the issues with my car in every detail there was. My dad is also a professional mechanic back home in Detroit, Michigan and from his words exactly, "you found a Great Mechanic!" He was very honest about pricing all around and top of that, the environment of his business is very welcoming! Thank you Ivan for everything! I highly reccomend Ivan to be your new mechanic! read more

Overpaid on some repairs. It's alright cause I was in a hurry. However expect to pay more for labor than average. read more

Ivan, I am so sorry for waiting so long to post this review. Just wanted to thank you again for taking your time and explaining problems with my friend's auto. And, of course you are reasonable, caring and professional. I have referred two other people to you and you were just as reasonable, kind and caring about their concerns. Thank you again, Jacquelyn read more

Ivan is Fantastic! He is knowledgeable about all types of cars and he is reliable, dependable and is the consummate professional. He always fixes whatever is wrong with our car the same day! He always explains exactly what is wrong with the car and shows us what we can do to prevent future problems. He never over charges and always makes sure our car is sparkling clean and happy when we leave. I highly recommend Ivan and his team for auto care and repair! read more

I can't say enough about how great an experience I had. I took Ivan my mom's 1992 Ford F-250 that had been sitting for years, and he did an amazing job in a very short time, even putting extra mechanics on it as needed. But most of the work he did himself, including blowing out the A/C lines 4 times to get it working, replacing the radio, alternator, differential service, shocks, etc. And all for a terrific price. A great mechanic and a great person. Will recommend Elite to everyone I know and it's the only place I'll go for repairs and service from now on. read more

Had to take my car in for adjustments to the radiator. Ivan did the work in a couple of hours & I was good to go! No hassles, professional & friendly. The best car service I've had in a long time. Thanks Ivan! read more
