    Old part never replaced.
    Ryan H.

    18 year customer, never again. Ed told me $210 and he has the part on order. Instead my charges turned out to be $350 and it's the same old part it was before. My previous service seemed a little high but I'm a loyal customer and I don't mind paying a little more, because I think I know what I'm getting. Now I guess he is just crooked. I know how to work my cars, my car wouldn't smog so I replaced the CCV valve on it. Still got a check engine light on so instead of continuing to spend money, I took it to Ed to help me diagnose and get a cost on having him do it. Turns out the intake boot slipped off the throttle body.i I can go back and change it myself but the convenience of $210 and supporting a small business is what I chose. I've trusted this shop for almost 2 decades, and it's different now. The trust is broken, everything feels like a hard sell. And now those feelings are confirmed. I went back to the shop 15 minutes after picking it up because the car was still running rough and throwing error codes. Eddie came out to the car and stuck his head in my car, without a mask on his face 4 inches away. I asked him three times to put a mask on nicely at first, if he's going to be in my face. He refused and argued about wearing a mask. At this point I've made my mind that this is my last visit and I'll just take the car somewhere else for service. I told Eddie that I was never coming back, turned my back and walked back to my other car I drove in. Eddie followed me back to my car yelling at me wanting to argue and fight. I shut my car door and he opens my car door up and threatened me really trying to start a fight with me. He was yelling and spitting in my face. All because I asked him to wear a mask when we are face to face. Disinfect your car after they touch it because this shop is anti-mask. I'm not a crazy mask person. I only asked him to wear a mask when in uncomfortably close proximity, when I went into his shop I didn't say a word and wore my mask and he didn't. His house his rules. My car, my face, my rules and my choice to take my business elsewhere. If you do go to this guy, ask him to save the parts and take pictures before and after Protect yourself; You're better off at the dealership. Update: the car is throwing the same codes as it was before so that confirms my suspicion this guy is a scammer opportunist. My best guess is they didn't test the vacuum system after they reattached the old boot. Took my money and sent me on my way. What a joke. Save your money, go someplace else.

    Almost $150 for a radiator hose???!!!
    Carl L.

    $150 just for a radiator hose that's $21 at autozone and zero warranty- this is just another car repairman raping you. Almost as bad as a car salesman or a lawyer

    Eddie is the owner of this shop & he was great! Been here for 15 years & specializing in the German & Swedish automobiles, but he can work on any car. Before opening his own shop, he was a mechanic at the #1 BMW dealer in the US for many years. So many people I know & work with take their cars to Eddie & all recommended him. He not only does great quality work at extremely decent prices, but he also serves a really good cup of Colombian coffee...and proud of it:P We brought him a Mazda today. Got it towed in at 8am...he found what the issue was that morning & got it done before he closed up shop same day! Thankfully it was a minor thing that only cost a couple hundred dollars. I highly recommend bringing any car to Eddie. He's been in the business for several decades, so he's pretty much seen it all. I would just say that you should only stay in that first office through the front door. The place could use a woman's touch here & there & all over...lol! But it is an all men's mechanic shop...so what could you say really:P

    Entrance to King's Auto Clinic. REALLY nice guy works there named Ed. Very knowledgable and customer service oriented :)

    I can't say enough good things about Ed and his team at Transmission Specialist…read more My Ford F-150 suddenly went into limp mode and was stuck in third gear, along with a few other issues. Since my truck was out of warranty, I wasn't sure where to turn. I reached out through Yelp and heard back from Ed almost immediately. He had a good idea of what might be wrong and invited me to bring the truck in for an assessment. After inspecting it, he identified damage (caused by rats) to the transmission wiring harness, which had unfortunately caused internal damage. He walked me through everything clearly and provided a very reasonable estimate for a full rebuild. Throughout the entire process, Ed was easy to communicate with, always professional, and genuinely helpful with his advice. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond after the repair. I was told this type damage might be covered under my comprehensive auto insurance. Ed then took the time to work directly with my insurance company--providing detailed documentation and expert insight. Because of his effort and experience, the claim was approved and the repair ended up being fully covered. That level of service is rare these days. I truly appreciate Ed's honesty, professionalism, and follow-through. He did exactly what he said he would do and then some. I wouldn't hesitate to come back or recommend him to anyone in need of transmission work.

    Last year, the transmission on my 2008 RAV4 was rebuilt by Transmission Specialists after tow truck…read moredamage, going through insurance. A year later it still hard-shifts going downhill. I brought it back twice and both times I was told everything was fine. During the rebuild, they replaced (and charged additionally me for) replacing the transmission mounts, but a few days after I picked up my car, my motor mounts broke and the engine shifted while I was at a red light. I brought it back immediately and, after a test drive, I was told everything was fine. A separate shop found the entire engine was tilted, and I paid out of pocket several hundred dollars for their diagnosis and installation of replacement motor mounts - mounts I was told should have been replaced along with the others. I brought it back several months later because my car was hard shifting whenever I went downhill and the alternator continued making a high pitched noise. After a test drive on the flat roads around Santa Ana with Ed, was told that it shifted like butter. He advised me to warm up the car before driving, which has not helped at all. I was also promised that my alternator would be exchanged for the price of parts from O'Reilly and that it would be about a $150. I was ultimately charged me $429 for the third party alternator (definitely not a Denso) that makes high pitched whirring sounds when I press the gas pedal. Other minor issues: scratched my window tint and took 6 weeks to complete the work, fixing the alternator last and costing me 3 extra days of rental fees my insurance wouldn't cover. I ended up paying $1345 out of pocket to their shop and insurance covered $4000. Also, I incurred an additional several hundred dollars to the other shop to fix the motor mounts and for the extra days of rental. Ed is really nice and communication was not an issue. Overall, though, I did not have a great experience and I'm reminded of that daily when I drive my car over the hill to get to work, as the car will inevitably jolt as it shifts gears going downhill. It doesn't leave me a good feeling that the transmission repair will last. For this reason, I can't recommend this shop for transmission or general repair work.

    5 stars Francis at Full Service Auto & Transmission Repairs…read morein La Mirada did a lot of work on my 2007 GMC Yukon XL and he nailed it. He replaced the radiator and water pump, repositioned the external transmission cooler, and replaced the tail housing gasket on the transmission. My truck has never run cooler transmission temps than it does now. Francis is very knowledgeable and actually understands how these older trucks heat up when you're towing or sitting in traffic. He explained what he was doing and why instead of just slapping parts on. If you need cooling or transmission work done right, take it to Francis.

I found Francis through an online search because of the many positive reviews, and during our first interaction he was friendly, professional, and seemed very knowledgeable. He ordered the part directly from Acura and quoted me a fair price. My car was ready the following day, but when I arrived to pick it up, Francis informed me that my vehicle had been involved in an accident while in his care. He explained that another driver had been speeding through the parking lot and crashed into him. He gave me the other driver's information, and I contacted him immediately. The other driver gave a very different version of events. He stated that he was backing out of a parking space and did not see Francis. He also told me that Francis provided his driver's license information but refused to share insurance information. Now, more than a month later, I still have a damaged vehicle and have not received insurance information from Francis despite multiple phone calls, text messages, and outreach from Mercury Insurance. I trusted this shop to take care of my car, not return it to me in worse condition and leave me responsible for a $500 deductible. What has been most disappointing is the lack of accountability and urgency. Francis acted as though this situation was not a major concern and repeatedly assured me that the other driver would "take care of it," which has not happened. According to the other driver, Francis even asked him to change the story about what happened. I chose this business because of its strong reviews and the image Francis presents, but my experience has been extremely stressful and disappointing. I believe customers deserve honesty, transparency, and responsibility when their vehicle is in someone else's care.
