You can share with them that you are not sure if the car will pass smog and they can try to do a few basic things to gauge right off the bat which we appreciated. Other places may do re-test for free if you do the initial smog check with them (but possibly higher in overall price) so keep that in mind.

I've been coming here since I first started driving and have no plans on going anywhere else. Even…read morewhen I've moved to other cities, I still go to Valvoline, and all of them have given me great experiences. I've had oil changes, transmission fluid, radiator fluid, and air filters done because the price isn't that bad and it's just so convenient. I figure I might as well get it done while I'm there instead of never going in somewhere else. The staff at this location are always very helpful and I never feel pressured to purchase any additional services unless I need them. They will ask if you'd like them done but are transparent about the recommended time frames. My questions are always answered if I have any, and it's always fast service.

Abraham was very professional and clear about availability and experience with the issue. We mentioned we'd been to two dealerships who told us it's not under warranty, which Abraham said is nonsense and explained what we need to do next to deal with them. It was just a 10min phone call, but it told us everything about Abraham and where we'll be going for our next car issues. If we can't get the dealership to honor the warranty conditions, you can be sure we'll be visiting Abraham now and for the next repair.

His employees wear clean uniforms and the shop was spotless.

I am really glad I found a place I can trust with all of my car needs. I was referred over to them…read moreby another company and they said C&C would be a great place for me to go to for any Japanese make cars and so I trusted them with my car after an accident I had where I had to deal with insurance which is a headache. Arvy was the one I spoke with most and he does everything he can to meet your needs and more/beyond, I am very thankful that he fixed as much of my car as he possibly could for a fair deal. In the past, any other place that had tried to rip me off or oversell or overcharge me I have never gone back, so I'm very happy I did not experience that here with Arvy and that he tries to help you as much as he can, which makes me want to come back again in the future and recommend them to others. He also arranges everything for you after you give him your insurance adjustor information and the car rental process was smooth for me as well while my actual car was in the shop. It helps alot with the stress of trying to do everything on your own and he tries to take care of whatever he can with your insurance so that you don't have to stress about it as much. I am very happy with Arvy and everything he has tried to do for me and my car, and I also appreciate that Logan called me to ask me if I also wanted to add another repair that they could throw on for me as well (my roofrails) otherwise I may have just forgotten about it. Thank you Arvy for everything and because of my good experience I can continue to trust coming to you again in the future and also to continue to recommend you to any friends that ever need a place for their car needs

I noticed I had a headlight out when I left my apartment. I decided to drop by Del Mar Auto before I went home. I pulled up and was greeted as I got out of my car. I explained the situation to Hutch. Before I could even get my hood open Hutch returned with a lightbulb. He worked quickly and before I knew it, my headlight bulb was replaced. I paid my bill and made an appointment for other problems I noticed with my car. It's nice to go to someone that cares about your safety with the quality work that they do at Del Mar Auto. Honesty is not always found when dealing with mechanical issues. Easy to notice on the corner of Del Mar Boulevard and Allen Avenue. I think they care about my car as much as I do. I always try to make an appointment to save time.

I've been to many mechanics around LA, many with 5 star ratings. All bad. One wanted to replace my ENGINE, kid you not, because THEY put my thermostat ($20 part) back in upside down and it caused an overheat condition! Most house moms don't know any better. "Oh my blinker fluid is low?" Avoid the f around and find out shops! They're out there, lurking. Take my word for it. Give yourself PEACE OF MIND & COME TO DEL MAR AUTO where they literally treat you like family! Excellent Excellent Excellent!!

I am SO grateful for HYARCS, and to my dad for introducing me to them, decades ago!…read more I trust them, absolutely. Highly skilled & knowledgeable, they've always rapidly diagnosed my issues and shown great care with my beloved Jeep. I appreciate that they take the tome to answer my questions and explain things -- as a woman who does not know cars, I'm usually wary of mechanics. But they are COMMUNITY. They treat customers like neighbors they want lasting relationships with. It takes away a lot of stress when dealing with people who wear their integrity, out in the open. They do all my smogs, and are very accessible when something suddenly goes wrong. Just today, woke up to a missing gas cap & engine light on. I immediately drove there, they diagnosed the problem and had me sorted in MINUTES. Same last month (?) when my car started breaking down while I was driving -- a busted, cracked radiator was the diagnosis, and my Jeep was running perfectly again by next day. I love the new location, too! It's so much better than the Colorado auto complex--this is open, airy, kinda art deco and has really good vibes in a neighborhood suited to their traffic. My dad was an excellent judge of character. They take as good care of me, as they did of him. Excellent value, and they REALLY know cars. All kinds. It's a relief to have such a trustworthy mechanic -- we can't live without our cars, in SoCal! Highly recommend. Decades of service don't lie!

Beware! Very Shady! Incompetent! Unprofessional!…read more Disrespectful! No Customer Service Care! No apology! Do not come here! I absolutely will sue them at the Pasadena Courthouse! Visited today 3/17/2026, after speaking with Matt the day before. I brought in brand new 21 inch Tesla rear wheels and Michelin PS4 tires for installation on my car. I drove over an hour from Chatsworth, California to this location so that they could use the Hunter Revolution machine, specifically to avoid damaging my wheels. Nevertheless, Matt, if it's his real name, severely damaged my new wheel near the wheel center cap area with the machine that was made to avoid this. How incompetent!!! He lied to my face and gave dull, illogical, dummy excuses about what happened. Bottom line: He damaged the wheel and would not acknowledge and take accountability for his actions. I had to call the police to make a record of this issue because I will be suing. The damage was caused because he did not apply the machine's plastic adapter when he clamped onto the face of the wheel; he clamped to the face of the wheel with metal to metal contact and severely damaged the paint. Sorry, nothing can improve ignorant people! See videos and photos.
