Whittier Auto Garage (13419 Lambert Rd) is owned by Arturo, who runs it with his helpful daughter at the front desk. They're straightforward, hardworking, and genuinely honest--no pressure, no BS.

HAVEN'T FOUND A HONEST AUTO SHOP YET ITS A SHAME! initially…read moreplanned to have my motor mounts replaced at Johnny's Auto Repair, but I requested a inspection first to check the passenger side tire because it felt off shaky so I wanted to make sure it was safe and a comprehensive inspection to identify any additional repairs that could be addressed during the same service. While the vehicle was on the lift, the experience shifted from a routine service to a series of significant red flags. Deceptive Diagnostics: A service advisor named Jose showed me torn CV boots and torn boots on the struts. He then pointed to a groove on the inner face of the driver-side front rotor (the side closest to the engine) and pointed at the brake pads, claiming I required a complete brake replacement on all four wheels. As someone who replaced my front brakes less than a year ago and knows the condition of my vehicle, I could see clearly that the pads still had plenty of life and did not need replacement. Despite using the "damaged" rotor as his primary evidence for a massive repair bill, he never once mentioned replacing or resurfacing that specific rotor in his recommendation. It was a clear attempt at a predatory and unnecessary upsell. Documentation & Transparency Issues: I was told I needed a radiator cap, two front axles, all four struts, and full brakes. When I requested an itemized price list to review the cost of parts vs. labor for the $3,400 quote, I was handed a small, hand-torn scrap of paper itemized breakdown is unprofessional and fails to meet the transparency standards required by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). Between the deceptive "faulty" brake pads and the lack of proper documentation, I can only conclude that they thought I was a dumb person who knew nothing about cars because I am a women I can no longer trust this shop. I strongly advise anyone visiting this location to get a second opinion and demand a formal, written estimate before agreeing to any work. Shame on you Jose You came highly recommended.

When I asked why it was so high, they mentioned it included some kind of "warranty" with the oil change. That didn't really make sense to me for such a standard service and felt more like an upsell than actual value. I'm all for paying a fair price for good work, but for something as routine as an oil change, I expected pricing to be at least competitive with a dealership...not significantly higher. Ended up going elsewhere.

I brought my car to OC Automotive Diagnostic to repair a busted headlight lens. From the start, the…read moreexperience wasn't great--the front desk staff had a dismissive attitude when I first dropped off my car, which already gave me a bad impression. After the repair, I noticed that my headlights were dim while driving at night. When I checked under the hood, I found that one bulb wasn't plugged in correctly and the other wasn't installed at all. It's frustrating to deal with this kind of sloppy, careless work, especially on something as important as lighting for nighttime driving. Between the poor quality of the repair and the lack of professionalism at the front desk, I won't be returning and can't recommend this place to others.

I needed to replace my front and rear brakes on my 2018 Equinox. I received many different quotes…read morefrom other mechanics, quoting me over $300 for labor only. I reached out to Refined Auto with the same request, and it was a more reasonable price, especially since I had no idea if I needed to do anything to my rotors. My dad was present while Cesar worked on my car, and my dad gave me such a glowing review of how Cesar worked. My dad has not been able to stop talking about how Cesar did an amazing job on my car, how clean he works, how he keeps his tools, and his communication. My dad was so impressed with the quality of work Cesar provided on my car that he decided to get a quote for replacing his rotors. When Ceasr finished on my car, he let me know that my brake fluid was not in good condition. He drained my brake fluid and replaced it with new fluid. He explained to me in detail that brake fluid should not be topped off. I had no idea, and apparently, my dad didn't know either, and we had topped it off because it was low. Now, I know, for future reference, that when it's low, I should replace my brakes. I appreciate the work that Cesar did on my car and his communication. I will absolutely use his service again and recommend him to friends and family.
