Spoke with Ken and Jon and both were very honest and friendly mechanics. I called a couple days ahead to make an appointment and they said there would be no charge for a diagnostic. I left my car there for a couple of hours and they called me back to let me know they weren't able to service my car but recommended me to another nearby auto shop. They even printed out the issue with the code and description and charged me nothing. Truly truly honest and kind people and I really appreciate them! Would def recommend stopping by here for your car needs and calling ahead just to make sure they are able to provide a specific service. read more

I had my car fixed here by this fabulous group of guys back on May 26th! My car basically took a sh*t on the 10 and was shaking violently so I had to get off the freeway and they happened to be the closest mechanics and I'm glad they were! They will actually figure out the issue with your car and their prices are extremely reasonable, maybe even lower than most. 10/10 recommend, and I'll be back if my car ever has another issue. read more

I love Ken and his crew! They're honest, fast, reasonable, and do top-quality work. It's rare to find an auto shop with such integrity and great customer service. Everyone there is friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Ken Piechowski Auto! read more

Top notch, friendly service. We've been going here for years and highly recommend them.

Ken was great, first of all he answered the phone! Although his shop could not do the turbo repair, he got us over to Fernando at West Coast Auto Repair, and he also answered the phone! So appreciate people running their own businesses too, thank you both! Dawn read more

This place is great, honest folks quality work done. Kenny and staff are great. Honest, fair and personable. His brother Johnny is also a fantastic mechanic. I came here after my old mechanic retired. read more

They are just tops. Full stop! I just got back from probably my 15th visit in 10 years. The reason it is that many is because I try to go to them for EVERYTHING possible. They have kept my 22 year old car running smoothly, even when it appeared it might be done; and it is almost as if they try to find ways NOT to charge me at times. Of course, I gladly pay what is required for services rendered. Obviously, the big issues are critical - such as they dealing with my transmission two years back. But it is also the little things that mean so much. I could give some great examples of above and beyond, but I won't here out of concern someone might try to take advantage. They do these things out of genuine kindness on their part, and as ways of supporting loyal, appreciative, customers. I told them I hope they NEVER retire. I have nothing to gain by stating this. Unless you are 100% satisfied, or if you have any concerns with your current mechanic, GO SEE THESE GUYS!! read more

Absolutely still the best mechanics on the Westside. Honest. Skilled. I've known them since the 1970s.

Kenny and staff are great. Honest, fair and personable. His brother Johnny is also a fantastic mechanic. This is the place to go. I have been a customer for 15 years. read more

I've been going to Kenny for over 20 years now. He and John are simply the most honest mechanics. Kenny has never upselled, overcharged or bullshitted me. He does what needs to be done on my car and I trust him implicitly. Their prices are reasonable and you know you aren't getting fleeced. I cannot recommend highly enough. read more

Honest reliable knowledgeable, great local business with very reasonable pricing. I will definitely trust them for any future repairs.

Thank you John and Ken! I failed my smog test. These guys helped me pass my smog without taking me to the bank. I am so grateful that I found these amazing mechanics. read more

Mr. P and his staff do great work, charge reasonable prices, and will take care of you and your vehicle in an straightforward and honest manner. Went in for a recommended maintenance service that involved a number of items from the dealer but they said I only needed an oil change. It was quick and easy and I trust them with my full heart. read more

Ken always has your back. He's a solid guy you can trust. In this city that's pretty rare. I've been through mechanic after mechanic in this town. This is where I hang my hat. read more

John and Ken are honest and extremely knowledgeable. Brought my car in and they diagnosed the issue and recommended me to a shop that could handle the catalytic converter swap for a great price! Highly recommend these guys! read more

I found this place a few years back. Really friendly people here that know what they're doing. I like their level of transparency and honesty. Whenever I bring my car in, I'm not worried about being up sold for stuff that I don't need and I look forward to hearing a straightforward assessment of what I actually need. The only downside I can think of is them being so popular that if you don't have an appointment, it's pretty hard to get your car in there and out in the same day unless you bring it in first thing in the morning. On my most recent trip, a pump of mine was loose and I think the fan belt was breaking. My car was making a really loud noise and I was scared to drive it around. Luckily, they knew exactly what was wrong within the first five minutes and was able to work on my car that same day. But this is not just unique to this trip. I always feel like I'm in good hands here. 100% recommend. read more

Ken has been my "go to" mechanic for years. He and his staff are honest, efficient and very reasonable. If you have a gas fired vehicle this is the best place in trown! read more

Been going to John for years and years. Honest guys that will not pad the bill or take you on a ride... highly recommended

Best, most honest mechanics you could ever wish for! I've recommended them to friends and they all concur. Thanks Ken and John!

I could cry I'm so happy I found this place. This is the first place I've ever felt confident that I'm not getting scammed or upsold anything for my car. These guys are genuinely so kind, helpful, and honest. Truly will come back here every time I need something, I trust them 100%. The reviews don't lie! I'll recommend them to everyone I know. read more

I can't say enough good things about Kenny and Piechowski Auto Center. My 2004 Honda Element was making scary-sounding noises that I had never heard before. I'm the type of "call-my-dad-for-anything-car-related" type of gal, but he didn't know exactly what was wrong because he lives in Nevada. I live around the area and decided to stop by Piechowski Auto due to it being close and having good reviews. Kenny and I immediately went for a drive around the block, and then he inspected my car to diagnose the issue. Turns out my front struts were completely worn out. He gave me a quote and, unlike many other mechanics would have done, said "I know it's expensive; call your dad and see what he thinks, and then get back to me. It also doesn't need to be fixed immediately, so take your time." What a breath of fresh air! I ended up calling back almost two months later, ready to get my car fixed. He remembered me on the phone and told me to come in. Thankfully, I was able to drop my car off on a Wednesday afternoon and pick it up the following day, so I didn't have to leave work in the middle of the day. Kenny also called me during the fix and said that my wheels needed alignment -- an extra $100, but again, not mission-critical -- and I agreed to have that done all in one go. I will be recommending Piechowski Auto to all of my friends! As a young twenty-something girl, I'm always scared of being bamboozled/swindled at the auto shop. These guys are so honest! read more

I've been coming here for all my car issues. Ken, John, and the team are trustworthy and super helpful. They don't overcharge you and even tell you ways to save money. Ken knows it's challenging to reverse the car out of the shop to get back on the street (Overland can be quite busy), and he even did it for me. My heart is filled with gratitude every time I leave this place. They are the best! read more

Ken and John are amazing. They've helped me with a cracked radiator and with huge brake issues, and have always taken amazing care of me and my car. They have fair prices and are incredibly nice. I couldn't be happier with their service and want them to have the recognition they deserve. read more

I returned to Piechowski's late last month to take care of a minor leak that John had said was not urgent and could wait. However, since I was going to be back in LA for Christmas anyhow, I decided to take advantage of being there and having access to John and his team. Coincidentally, while driving down from SF to LA, my check engine light came on. As always, it was related to an intermittent transmission code that I've been fighting with since 2012. Long story short, it's a known and pesky issue with 2007 Corollas. I was going to need to get smogged in January so I asked John to see what could be done. Piechowski's is not a transmission shop but they can do certain things to help. In this case, John suggested draining and replacing the fluid and clearing the code to see what would happen on my drive back. It worked! The light did not come back on and I was able to pass smog right after the new year. The light still has not come back on a month later. As I was waiting to find out about the cost of the repairs, I realized that I wasn't worried. It's so comforting to work with someone you can trust. When I went in to pick up my car, the bill was about half of what I'd thought it might be. I actually felt guilty about it! This is a great shop and I will continue to plan my repairs around my visits to Los Angeles. read more

Another mechanic had told me that I needed to replace my water pump but Ken took the time to explain that I didn't need to. He even showed me what a broken water pump looks like free of charge! read more

HONEST, SKILLED & VERY AFFORDABLE. I wish I would have found Kenny and the talented crew of mechanics a long time ago, but I'm just very happy I did. Almost 400 reviews and an almost perfect rating! read more

I haven't written a Yelp review in YEARS and went on hiatus after my Elite streak ended, but my experience here compelled me to hop back on. This is hands down the most trustworthy mechanic and auto repair shop I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing in my life. I have an older car, and one of the parts I needed could not be found despite going to 2 different places, yet John was persistent and put in so much effort to successfully obtain it. John is very straightforward in diagnosing and addressing whatever your issue is. I've had two issues fixed and did not feel overcharged. He and his brother Ken are so genuinely kind. I was preparing to do an 7-8 hr drive for the first time in years and was trying to think of things to get checked. While I was there for my repairs, I asked Ken if he could look at my oil levels. Not only did he check, but he went above and beyond to also refill my coolant, washer fluid, oil, and brake fluid to ensure I'd have a safe drive. Even though the shop was extremely busy, he kindly took the time to help me with these extraneous things beyond what I had come in for, and even reversed my car out for me when done because it was on a challenging street. Now i feel safe and ready for my long drive with peace of mind. I will be recommending John & Ken to everyone!!! read more

I'm so happy to see John & Ken are still going strong! I was a regular customer until I moved to Boston 20 years ago. They were the best -- quick, reasonably priced, and most importantly, honest. I wish I could find a mechanic with similar integrity here. read more

I highly recommend this auto repair shop and have used them for over 20 years. The service, knowledge, kindness and honesty is above and beyond anything I've experienced elsewhere. This is a gem in the Palms area. read more

Called on a Monday morning and was able to get a slot the following morning for an oil change. I was originally quoted $85-90 for a full synthetic oil change for my 2019 Ford sedan, while other shops had quoted me $100. To my surprise, it ended up only being $80! This place is a gem. John took care of my car when I came in and finished up in about 50 minutes. There are some chairs in a waiting area, but there are also a lot of restaurants within walking distance (John had some good recs). I really appreciated his great service and conversation. I will definitely be back! read more

Got tires here. Gud value. Honest people. Oil changes come with tire rotations. Located within the neighborhood so conveniently nearby. read more

After my old mechanic moved away, I went here because of all of the wonderful yelp reviews. They were right! I received an oil change and he inspected my car and answered some questions I had about it. Very polite, and the price for a full synthetic oil change was less than what I was quoted in other places which was great! He felt very trustworthy and I will definitely be coming back. It's sometimes hard to find a mechanic you can trust, but with some people you just know. I'm very grateful to have found him! read more

Professional and knowledgeable technicians. A six month maintenance service in 90 minutes. I will return for sure. read more
