We've been taken care of by Kuan for more than 25 years now. We live about 60 miles away, but we only trust our cars to Kuan. He is honest, knowledgeable, competent, and just overall amazing. My husband has even referred a lot of his coworker and friends to Kuan and they are all beyond satisfied. He is always super busy as he likes to do a thorough job and is usually doing it all himself. I can't recommend him enough, and I'm very picky with who touches my car :) Thank you, sir! read more

Top notch service again and again. I went to the dealer for a free oil change service for a new car but they did not do a good job and Kuan comes in and just did a fantastic job of checking everything including tire pressure, etc. Highly recommended and one stop shop for all Japanese cars new and old. read more

02/19/2025 Came in for my 3000 mile oil change. I was told by Kuan that Honda raised prices on their oil that it's not worth carrying anymore. Basically there's no difference between Honda and Toyota oil. He said for $61 I can have the Toyota oil with a Honda oil filter. Or $55 for a synthetic blend oil that he uses for Nissan, Mazda and Kia cars. To me oil is oil, he said I can go to Walmart and get the oil I want and he can do the change for me. Why hassle it? I went with the Toyota oil. He checks tire pressure and top off other fluids in the car as well. read more

Kuan Auto Repair - Receipt from Kuan's Auto repair dates back to 2006 - Auto Repair Near Me - Rosemead, California

Have been here for many years. Honest business. Professionalism. Very reasonable price.

I visited Kuan's Auto Repair at around 3:30 PM on Friday Dec 3rd, and had an awesome experience. I've been stressed about finding a honest, reputable auto shop to service my car. I've been taking my 2019 Hyundai Elantra back to the dealer for all servicing for the past 2 years (lol I know I've been getting ripped off). However, after not being able to make an appt with them for the next 1.5 months, I finally had to take my car elsewhere since I was due for an oil change and tire rotation. My in-laws have been taking all of their cars to Kuan (pronounced koon btw...lol I didn't know). He's not only nice, patient, reputable but extremely honest. I called Monday in the afternoon to make an appointment. Kuan picked up rather quickly and said the earliest time he had was Thursday afternoon. I asked if Friday would be okay and he recommended for me to call him back on Friday, 2 hours before I'm able to come. So I did and he was able to squeeze me in at around 4pm. When I arrived at around 3:30 PM, he was still helping out another customer so I just parked my car and waited. When it was my turn (a little after 4pm), I wasn't sure if my car took reg or synthetic oil, but he showed me how to check under the hood. We decided that it was best to stick with 5-20w oil (which was listed on my engine). He also told me that the dealer was putting in 5-30w engine oil, which was actually lowered quality oil, in my car in my past services. I also learned some info about my car (I'm a noob okay) and he didn't seem judgmental but was extremely patient to answer my questions. He helped me change my oil (reg $40) and rotate my tires ($20) for a total of $60. He was not upset that he had to work past his closing time (he closes at 5PM) and he actually finished a little after 5:30 PM. I appreciate him for his honest character, patience, and how nice he is! I also wanted to point out that his auto expertise is primarily in Japanese cars (ie. Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, etc.) He does a few Hyundais and if he has the parts available, he said he would be able to help me. Note that he doesn't service German or American cars. All in all, Kuan's gained himself a repeat customer! I am more than happy to recommend him and come back in the future. read more

Kuan is honest and reliable. My husband and I have had our cars repaired and gotten an oil change here multiple times. Pricing is fair for the quality you get and I have not had any issues. I recently came back to drop off my car for an oil change. Dropped off the car in the morning and the car was done by noon. If you have any Japanese cars that need to be repaired, this place does the job well! read more

Stealership put wrong oil in my car which got me looking for a local mechanic that I can trust. Stopped by to make an appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. Kuan told me to come back at 4pm the same day. Came back and started working on my car. He was super careful with my car and we had a nice conversation about car care and tips. Super chill guy and he was done after about an hour. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I noticed that Kuan's Yelp page has some misleading information that recently got updated. As a loyal patronage of his, I gave him a call and he confirmed that nothing has changed on his end. Someone may have gone in to change some pertinent information on his Yelp page. This is what we know as of right now (06/10/2022): The shop is still Kuan's. Location is the same: 3222 San Gabriel Blvd., Rosemead, CA 91770. His # is still the same: (626) 288-4160 Current hours: Mon-Sat, 10am-5pm. Call the shop for quotes and don't use the Yelp "Request a Quote." He's never taken quotes via Yelp so I would just call him directly with questions or quotes. This reminds me, I need to get an oil change from him soon. read more

Kuan's a good, honest mechanic. His pricing is also very fair and I don't intend to go anywhere soon for the time being.

Very honest and upfront service. Issues were quick to be diagnosed and pointed out. Great mechanic to work with.

HACKED ALERT: no auto shop is opened 24/7, Kuan's been hacked. See real details below: This is what we know as of right now (06/10/2022): Ownership: Same (Kuan's Auto Repair) Address: 3222 San Gabriel Blvd., Rosemead, CA 91770. Phone: 626-288-4160 Business Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm read more

After retiring my 2009 Honda Pilot, I got another Japanese car. Kuan's able to work on 2019s which is perfect. Finally brought my 2019 Lexus F-Sport RX to Kuan's for my 15K (after Longo Lexus' two free complimentary oil changes). Kuan has fully synthetic Toyota motor oil (or Honda) available for your newer cars. It'll cost you more but still tons cheaper than the dealer's price. My family and I have trusted Kuan's for many years, we'll still bring our Japanese cars here. read more

I can't recommend Kuan enough! If not for him, I wouldn't have known where or what part of my car needs to be fixed, looked after. Came in for an oil change and discovered being scammed, cut corners by other repair shops. From now on, I will only go to Kuan's for all my needs. Kuan is so patient and protective of his clients, away from people who have bad intentions and also away from evil car dealerships. His oil is from car manufacturers brand, made me feel extra safe. I would give 11/10 stars if Yelp would allow me to! read more

Excellent mechanic. Will help you fix and take care of all your car needs. He's the most honest mechanic you can have to work on your car. Any small details he finds about your car, he will notify you. Kuan has patience and will fix whatever car problems you may encounter. His prices are fair and his work is superior over many other mechanics I have dealt with. Excellent work and he deserves and earns the pay. Kuan saved me tons of money rather than going to the dealer. He's an excellent mechanic to have to fix your Japanese cars. read more

Kuan is an excellent mechanic. A bit quirky but an honest hard working mechanic. Be aware, he is the only guy there and he does get very busy. I definitely recommend him tho. He's always done great work for us. read more

Kuan is the mechanic I've been trying to look for ever since Kerechuk's Motor Service closed down . He's very honest, knowledgeable, and his prices are VERY fair and if anything is cheap for the quality of work you're getting. I got an oil change and tire rotation for my 2019 civic si ( 4 quarts of Genuine Honda 0w-20 + honda oem filter) for just $80. That's a bargain compared to how much dealerships and other reputable mechanics charge. And don't even start with the shady mechanics that are everywhere throughout the 626, you'll regret ever taking your car to them. You get what you pay for in life, and with Kuan you probably get more than what you pay for. Kuan is funny as hell too , great to talk to while he's working on your car. read more

I've been taking my cars to this place for many years. Kuan does everything for my cars, including oil change and major. His price is always very reasonable and he is always very honest with your car problems. He would not try to upsell you. I've tried getting quotes from other auto shops but I always come back to him. His price is the best among all the shops. I trust Kuan with all my cars! Btw, I noticed the shop hours is 24/7 but I believe this is wrong. I don't think there is any auto shop that is open 24/7. Perhaps the owner's account got hacked? read more

When it comes to auto repair, you need a trustworthy mechanic and Kuan definitely earned my trust. I've been referred here by fellow yelper Albert V. when I moved to the 626. I go to Kuan for my routine oil changes and he does quality maintenance checks too. One of those oil changes, I had some "mild leak" of oil due to some cracked metal piece (powertrain). Kuan honestly referred me to the Honda Dealer as he knew my car miles was still under warranty and basically saved me $$$! Kuan easily could have made $ off me, and I probably would not have known about the warranty, but this is the type of business/person that earns your trust as a customer. Big thanks to Kuan for his honesty, integrity, high quality work and I'll definitely be back to Kuan as a likely lifelong customer. His rates are also very competitive (I called around for oil change prices). Kuan is the man and I can't recommend him enough. read more

Kuan is honest, straightforward, and will not try to cheat you. If something is wrong with your car, he will make sure he finds what is wrong with it. He would find things wrong with my car that even my dealer would not point out to me which is concerning sometimes. read more

My dad was a mechanic and after he passed, it was so hard to find someone I can trust with my car. I took my car to a few places before Kuan's for repairs or oil changes. However, everything was really expensive or there were always additional problems that mechanics wanted to charge me for. Fortunately, I found Kuan through Yelp four years ago. Taking a leap of faith, I decided to see Kuan for an oil change. I like how he's down to earth, knowledgeable, and overall honest. He'll tell you exactly what is wrong with your car. No additional bs. I've moved almost an hour away from Kuan's and he's the only person I trust with my car. He is genuinely the nicest person you'll meet and truly excels in what he does. I highly recommend Kuan's! read more

He caters to his own race Asian customers. I've been coming for years like 18 plus years and still treats me like crap. He doesn't know how to prioritize his work and wants to take on all the jobs when he knows he can't. His loyal customers he just puts them on the back burner when he should set them as priority.Think twice about coming with him because he needs to be more up front or finish the easy jobs first then take on the overhauls. Theirs plenty of shops in the area that would love your business. His prices are about the same as all the rest so it's not like he's giving u a better price. read more

I've been coming to Kuan auto repair since my first car my civic hatch back in the early 2000. He has been loyal and honest and straightforward about everything that my car truly needs. His prices are very fair compared to dealer or any other shop around town. U are given proper receipts for all your work and believe me he definitely takes care of Ur Car needs. He gets busy as he is one of the best so be patient and straightforward with him and he will as well. Oh, he only works on Japanese cars. read more

Kuan Auto Repair - My baby Accord 2018 going up for Oil change! - Auto Repair Near Me - Rosemead, California

Straight up mechanic with good response times to your every questions. Trust worthy and gets the job done right

If you're looking for a great, honest mechanic, that charges reasonable prices, go see Kuan. I've been taking my cars to Kuan for about 7 years now, nothing major, mostly maintenance lately with newer cars. But my first visit I took my Acura which was around 12 years old and having some minor issues. What really impressed me was the car was rumbling with a lot of vibration. When Kuan sat down in the car he immediately diagnosed it as nothing but a broken motor mount. I had some other minor issues and he was able to McGyver some really creative solutions to save me a lot of money given that he knew I wasn't keeping the car much longer. The other thing you'll notice is Kuan seems to have a photographic memory. Between the first time I brought my Acura and my next new car, at least a couple years must have passed but he remembered me. Subsequently, he always remembers the last service/maintenance performed and will always give you amazing prices. Give him a shot! read more

Wowww. Impressive service as always. I have to drive more than 60 miles one way just to have Kuan check my vehicle since nowadays, there are a lot of shops that are just after your money and will not even check anything. I've seen shops that they will tell you they did it but when i double checked, it was not done and they said sorry, we forgot (ex, is tire rotation). What the. Anyway, thanks Kuan for an impressive work, I appreciate it. read more

Honest, reliable, trustworthy and seriously... a no BS kind of dude. Found Kuan on yelp.

I am not sure how there are so many five star reviews. My car was stalling and a check engine light came on so I had it towed to Kuan Auto Repair. Even before the tow truck guy offloaded my vehicle, Kuan says: "get rid of the car." I ask if he can at least scan the check engine light code and he tells me it will be $60. Thanks. Any auto parts shop will take 1 minute to scan it for free. So I called ANOTHER tow truck to come tow me back home. The tow truck driver is in disbelief that Kuan would not even look at the car or scan it. He tows me back to my place, pulls out his scanner, and 1 minute later determines it's the mass airflow sensor. I buy a cleaner at auto zone and 15 minutes later the car is running again. $6 and a trip to auto zone. Oh, and having to pay for two tow trucks. I would have gladly paid Kuan to clean the sensor or even replace the thing. Even if it were a few hundred dollars. But I guess he does not like to work on cars. See my review of "steed auto" in Buena Park to learn about how a real auto shop operates! read more

I just noticed the most recent 1 star review is fake. Dude, don't even try! Kuan is one of the most nicest and honest person around and for you to try to scam on him, karma will bite you from behind. You are definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. read more

Kuan is the best! He is very honest and professional. He changed the transmission fluid and coolant on my Honda today and he did an excellent job. He uses genuine Honda fluids and parts and his prices are very reasonable. I am recommending Kuan to all of my friends and family. Thank you Kuan! read more

Kuan is honest, reliable and offer fair prices. I no longer live in California but I still have him service my vehicle when ever I am back in the area. He's the only mechanic I trust. read more

Kuan Auto Repairs is the most honest business ever. Kuan is a nice and trustworthy guy that doesn't do any work your car doesn't need. His prices are reasonable and he uses genuine dealer parts. I've been taking all my family cars to him for maintenance and repairs. He's one of the very few honest mechanics in all of SoCal that won't try to scam or cheat you. Really ethical guy and business. Since he's a one man team, it's best to make an appointment or call in advance to avoid a long wait. Best mechanic ever! read more

My car (2014 Corolla) started making noises and the AC stopped working so I came here on my friend's recommendation. Kuan was quick to diagnosis the problem and was able to narrow down the issue. He provided an estimate and upon further inspection realized that the bracket was missing and screws were damaged and only a small part needed to be replaced. He was quick to notify me and ordered the parts. He gave me a new estimate and saved me money. He is very honest and to the point. He is a great communicator and makes sure you are aware what is going on. He uses genuine dealership parts unless you specify, though he will ask you before proceeding. I recommend calling ahead to see if he is busy. Look for the yellow fence. read more

Several of my friends recommended me to come to Kuan's Auto Repair for a routine oil change. The entire procedure was very effortless and efficient. I called ahead to schedule an appointment for the oil change before coming. Kuan seemed to be quite knowledgable about my car. He also pointed out that the previous place that performed my oil change had put in a cheap oil filter. The best part about this place is the fact that I received personalized service. It is nice to just talk to a knowledgable mechanic who is actually working on your car. If you went to other places, you likely would not get that kind of interaction. You can't miss him. He's the one wearing the blue mechanic jumpsuit with his name affixed onto it. The price at $30 was reasonable for my oil change. I will definitely return back here for my future oil changes. He mentioned to me that for future oil changes that I would need to schedule an appointment to ensure that he could service my car in a timely manner. This place blended in quite well with all the other numerous auto shops so make sure you look pay close attention for the building name or GPS the address to this place beforehand. read more

Came here for an oil change for my 2013 Corolla. Kuan was quick and the price was very reasonable for OEM materials ($65). Calling ahead to ask for availability is recommended. Gonna be bringing my car back here for future car stuff. Cool dude to talk to lol read more

Kuan is knowledgeable and honest. No Bs here with Kuan. He is not shady like other mechanics

Kuan is the best hands down. Gives the best prices and honest repairs and suggestions. He is a one man show, so his availability will be based on how many other vehicles need to be repaired. But after going to different mechanics, I've decided it's worth the wait for him to work on your vehicle. Thank you Kuan for your service. This is now my home mechanic. read more

I have had my car serviced by Kuan for a couple of years now and have zero complaints. Oil change, brakes and whatever my car needs will be. Clean and organized shop. Kuan really knows what he is doing, he'll also give you options. Prices are very competitive. read more

My brother had introduced me to his mechanic. Great work and honest. One of things that makes Kuan the best in the business is his ability to educate and inform the customer about maintaining and fixing your car. For example, today, as I am waiting for my oil change to finish up. Kuan had informed me about the recall for my front airbags and as a lyft driver, I would definitely need to be aware of that in case of a situation. Excellent work, highly recommend for anyone near or around the SGV. Please call ahead because his shop is busy. Generally I find the best time to do a quick oil change to be at around 9am or after 3pm. read more

Great location and Kuan is very friendly and knowledgeable, brought my Toyota SUV in for an oil change and some maintenance. Will be going back next oil change for some brakes & rotors read more
