The owner is super nice and knowledgable, I am super happy get a service from them, if you want a quality it is a place to go

Great employees the owner is very nice and friendly. I definitely recommend if you have a older car and you have a lot of problems take the car to the shop. It's best if you go by your appointments they're always busy and it's always packed. Call for appointment read more

Sam is trustworthy. Doesn't tell you that you need work done when you don't. He is very nice as is all his staff. When I get my oil changed I usually wait. Even the people who bring their cars in for work are very nice. Good energy, honest and reasonable. What more can you ask for? read more

Amazing place: honest, decently priced, trustworthy. I take both our cars there as needed, for maintenance and necessary repairs. Sam, Henry, Richard and the rest, are gold. Take your business there, save thousands on dealership prices, and keep them open for years to come. These shops are a pleasant reminder of what repair shops used to be. Now they're few and far between. read more

Where do I begin. Sam is the nicest, most honest, and knowledgeable person you would ever want to deal with when having mechanical issues with your car. He's helped fix my aging but still solid Lexus for years now. If he wasn't so affordable and good at what he does, I probably would have had to get a new car by now! Lol. I've sent my mother to him, and would recommend his shop to anyone looking for a great mechanic who you can trust. read more

Drove up on a Sunday for a smog check with no appointment and waited around 30 minutes (they were in the middle of working on another car when I got there.) The owner made sure to update me on timing to make sure I was aware of how much longer it would take. As soon as they started the process, it took about 5-10 minutes so it was super fast! Everything was processed and automatically updated in the DMV database within 24 hours. Everyone was safe and wearing masks, including the mechanic who was working in hot cars under the sun with no-one around him. I felt very safe there! Total cost for a smog check was $50 for me. They're located right across the street from some cafes (I believe) so you can get some food/drinks while you're waiting if you don't want to sit around and wait. I'd definitely return as it's fairly close to where I'm staying, fast, and friendly! read more

Professional, honest and fast! Came in for oil change and left in 30min! I always feel scammed when I go to any car service but not with these guys! It's a family owned business too which is a plus for me to support it! Thank you so much! read more

I found these guys on yelp - thanks everyone! I moved a few months ago to a new part of LA and my old mechanic is now about 6 miles away. I knew at least one of my brake pads had worn down and I needed to get it fixed. I called my old mechanic to get a price. Then I called Express Auto Shop and ended up speaking with Sam. He quoted me a great price. And you all had given them great reviews. So, I decided to chance it and go to this new mechanic. I told them if it looked like the front pads were precariously low, they should replace them as well and also they told me if I'd damaged the rotors, I'd need new ones. I was fully expecting to pay for new brake pads on all four brakes (two axles) and new rotors, at least on the back, where I assumed I'd messed up that one. Sam told me on the phone that if I got the car there by 10 am they could take care of it by 3 pm. I dropped the car just before 10, on my way to a meeting (thanks Lyft, for the assist). Sam said they would check everything out and let me know what needed to be done. I spoke with him about 90 minutes later - between meetings - and he said: no problem, we just need to replace the brake pads for the back, not the front, and the rotors are fine. So, I ended up having to only have the bare minimum amount of work done. He didn't try to upsell me (you know, "well, you could it now, so you don't have to worry later") and he didn't BS me and tell me I needed all new brake pads when I didn't. I super appreciated that. And then he told me the car would be ready by 2. After my next meeting, my colleague dropped me off at Express to pick up the car. Price matched what I was originally quoted on the phone by Sam. And, everything seems to be working great with the car / brakes. Definitely will check with them first the next time my car needs a repair or service! read more

I dont usually rate but this time, I will. To save you guys. If you own German car, dont go there. If you have transmission problem, dont go there either. Paid around $600 for my oil leak from engine and transmission. They repaired it. The next day, it leaks in same spot plus I got ENGINE LIGHT on. They Couldn't fix Engine light nor transmission leak. They now referred another repair shop in other place. What? What about the price I paid for? Came to dealer now to properly fix. They spot the problem right away and got it fixed. It's the first time saving money through dealer then the 3rd shop read more

Fantastic service, Sam and his staff were extraordinarily helpful. They changed my brakes and rotors, the company that I bought the package from sent in the wrong size, these guys had to put the old brakes/rotors back on the car while the company got it right and sent in the right ones. They were understanding, fast and very respectful (which you don't always find in mechanic shops unfortunately). Thanks again guys! read more

Amazing service and reasonable price. I was told 150 for my brake pad replacement initially; unfortunately, the pad for my car (Infiniti) ended up being more expensive than what they'd initially anticipated. They still charged me 150 saying they keep their word. I'll be coming back and spreading the word. read more

Brought my car in to get a tire patched that had a very slow leak. I called first and they said come on in. When i arrived an hour later everyone was at lunch so i had to leave my car for over an hour. The guys here were very nice and removed the nail and plugged the hole in the tire for $10. The next day my tire was completely flat and since i don't live in So Cal i had to take it to another shop who told me the hole wasn't patched properly. The new shop fixed it in 10 minutes and i haven't had an issue since. Complete waste of time and $ here. read more

This animals loosen up the screws of my tire because i didnt end up leaving my car in their shop to fix since i noticed they were running a scam on me and super over charging me and didnt give them the bussiness but since my car was left there for a estimate they loosen the screws of my tire and it ended up cutting off and jumping out of the car while i was driving in the freeway, a huge lawsuit is on the way and i will press charges with proofe , if you like not only your hard earned money but your life stay away from this scammers . read more

Had a nail in tire and while putting air in tire at a gas station a lady referred this place...Went here right away and had tire repaired within 15 mins...Service was fast and superb...Can't beat that combination. read more

Wow, this is the 2nd time I have been in this shop for service and everyone is friendly and the service is fast. I definitely will return if I need any more repairs on my car. Thank you, Express Auto Shop. Michele read more

I've been here twice in the past 6 months and left grateful each time. First time for a tire plug that they fixed within minutes and charged something too negligible to remember. Second time, they referred me to another shop for a tire problem that they couldn't fix - their referral was as fast, affordable, and professional as they were. Much appreciated. read more

At first glance, they looked super busy and I thought "oh great!". They were very nice and they took my car right away. What service! They quoted me $50 over the phone before I got there and that's what I paid. Never heard of this place but it will be on my radar from now on. read more

Here's a story for you. This WAS my go to auto shop. I brought my car in 2 weeks ago because my engine light was on, they diagnosed and replaced the mass airflow sensor for ~$450. Last week my car overheats on the 10 fwy and I was towed back home by AAA. The tow truck guy offered to check what the issue was and saw that my cooling fan wasnt even connected and found that the connecting cable tucked away among some other cables. I was shocked. The tow truck guy was shocked, he said that it was fishy because fixing the mass airflow sensor has nothing to do with the cooling fan so why was it disconnected in the first place? Probably cause they wanted me to go back to "replace" an expensive part because I'm clueless about cars. Dont go there if you need something other than oil changes! read more

Went for a smog check. This little hidden gem is NOT so unknown. Before it open there was a line. They got me in and out in 15 minutes. Friendly guys. They get it done. I would go back again, just do it when I have more time. Customers were all friendly and all seemed loyal. A good sign in a shop. read more

Came in a few months back to have my breaks done and I have been really satisfied with their work. I ended up needing some additional work done and though it was out of their scope, (alarm repair) Sam was happy to give me a great recommendation for someone that could help. He is truly an honest and incredibly professional mechanic and I would recommend his service to anyone especially any women like me who are often hesitant to go a mechanic alone. This is truly a very comfortable fair place to have work done on your car. I will be loyal and come back in the future. Khalie mamnoon! read more

BEST AUTO SHOP IN THE UNIVERSE!!!! I have been going to Express Auto Shop for 12 years!!! Sam is the owner and I have never met a more honest, hardworking, and skilled Auto Shop owner, mechanic in my life, and I have owned 12 cars. As an added bonus, he is truly a great human being and cares about the welfare of his customers. His staff is EXACTLY the same. They are qualified, exceptionally hard working, and dedicated to customer service and satisfaction. They are the ONLY mechanic shop I have ever known that simply fixes the problem and doesn't try to rip you off in any way. They are honest, reputable, and simply the best. They are dedicated to their customers, employees, and the community. Victor is Sam's associate and completely shares his dedication, energy, and complete vision of customer satisfaction. I am proud to be a customer of this business, they are one of the few examples left of what a true American business should represent. Barry Ratcliffe read more

My car failed its smog check and I went to Express Auto Shop for repairs after reading the good reviews for this place on Yelp. I spoke with Sam and Victor and they were able to help me get a new catalytic converter for my '92 BMW for a fraction of what the dealer would charge. The previous mechanic I visited was not able to diagnose the problem with my car at all, so I wasted 2 days there, as well as having to take a few hours off from work. Sam and Victor both seemed like honest guys, and they really helped me out. I also had my oil and fluids changed/replenished while my car was in the shop for an additional $33. I would go back to Express again, even though it's a long drive for me to get there. An honest and good mechanic is hard to find, so when you find one, you stick with him! read more

I went here for my smog certificate and waited less than 10 mins! They are so nice and friendly A+

I needed a brake & light certificate for my car, and after calling multiple body shops in LA this was the cheapest place I found. Everyone else quoted me around $100 and up, and this body shop quoted me $75. When I got there, the guy even knocked off $5 and made it $70 flat. It took a couple of hours to get it done which is probably more than enough time needed, but they were busy and I did show up unexpectedly. They stuck to their word and gave me what I needed in 2 hours. I left happy & satisfied. Winner! read more

Back again in a bind with a nail in my tire and had to get to the airport. They patched it within 10 min and got me on my way. Their service is amazing and will be a lifetime customer. Thank you again read more

These guys do get the job done for a fair price. But. They are awful and communicating when they can start and finish a job. This can be very frustrating. At this point I trust these guys somewhat. So I would say you could go here without that knot in your stomach that you are about to get screwed. Only time will tell. I have had several things done on my Acura here and all were successful, but more time consuming than I expected them to be. read more

Ran into some further troubles and Sam took the truck in and solved the problem. He is very methodical and thorough. Raised his ranking to 5 star. read more

Have not had anyone work on my car since I moved to Los Angeles. Had a really nasty sound coming from the back wheels. I called on Thursday morning to ask about dropping my car off after work when they were closed. They said "park it out front and leave the key". I drove over there that evening and was frustrated to find nowhere around the shop to leave my car. Their whole lot was gated and locked and it was FULL of cars. I assume they wanted me to leave the car on the sidewalk blocking the front gate, but I was not about to do that. Ended up getting a ride to work the next morning and having a friend drop the car off the next day (Fri). They didn't actually work on it until Monday morning. I couldn't pick it up until Tues. All that said, they did offer me a discount on the work. It was really affordable and the car is running fine. Thus the four stars- I really cant complain. The guys in there are actually really nice. All said and done, I'll be headed back but will plan things a bit better next time. read more

They are very helpful and knowledgable and didn't make me spend more than I have too. Had some oil leaking from my 06 330i and rather than do some unnecessary work, he suggested a less expensive option to save money. Although it took awhile to get my car back, dropped it off Sunday and got it back Wednesday, Sam explained the whole situation and didn't make me pay for anything that didn't get fixed. Even though its in Beverly Hills, he doesn't jack up his rates because of that. Will be taking my car there moving forward. read more

I came here for a smog check, and was out in about 30 minutes. They were fast, very very reasonably priced, and professional. Two days later I came in to get a tail light checked out, and the staff quickly replaced the light bulb for FREE! They are friendly and clearly care a great deal about customer service and satisfaction. Thank you! read more

The most trustworthy mechanics on the planet. Unlike other shops that see dollar signs when I drive up, these guys always look out for my benefit, and keep costs down to a minimum. They even do stuff on my car for free. I don't like taking my car anywhere else, and I pray they always stay in business. They are absolute experts, and troubleshoot everything perfectly. They recognize what sounds the car is making at all times. They're really good. read more

Truly good people and professionally knowledgeable mechanics. I would recommend anyone to go there to get treated fairly and honestly. read more

The BEST. My brakes needed replaced and Sam and team took me in day of and got everything done well and at a reasonable price. They even replaced my bulb for my taillight for free. Highly recommend! read more

These guys are amazing. They fixed the rim on my tire in like 20 minutes while I got papaya juice across the street, and pretty much charged me nothing. Will definitely be back the next time my car needs anything. read more

The team at Express Auto Shop went the extra mile to provide exceptional service. Their hospitality throughout the process was outstanding. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a trusted auto service repair shop in the area. Amazing experience! I wish all auto repair experiences equaled that which I experienced here. Dan read more

This place deserves more than 5 stars. I found them on yelp (thanks Yelpers). They were courteous on the phone. The time estimate to service our 2008 BMW X5 was accurate. My wife took the car in with our 5 month girl and 5 year old son "in tow". They were efficient and completed the work as promised. The cost was much much lower than the dealer quoted (150 versus 500). Sam and Victor run an excellent shop with courteous and friendly staff. Thank you. We will be back. read more

Good Job nice people pleasure to work with They even drove me home! read more

My friends and I came in on a walk-in basis and was helped immediately. We needed to check a used car before buying it. Amazing customer service! Very honest about whether or not the used car was worth buying. Would definitely come back in the future. read more
