Had a good first experience here. Called in to get a quote to install a starter for my car. Was told to just bring it in with no appointment needed. Brought it in on a Monday morning dropped it off and in as little as 2 1/2 hours it was done. I purchased the starter so to have them do the installation it was $250. Spoke to a gentleman that spoke English the service was good. It was quick and easy. read more

Takes care of my honda, lexus and bmw issues. Not easy to find someone who works on honda's and bmw's...on top of that lexus...

Been going to Lam Auto Service for years getting oil changes for multiple vehicles. But I will not be going back ever! So I had to get a replacement caliper for my car and in the process, the owner Lam I assume convinced me get replacement brake pads. I had pads that were under warranty from autozone which they switch out no questions asked when it was covered under warranty. I agreed to the replacement and a week later, there was issues with the pads they provided, it literally was already metal to metal grinding with the pads and rotor. I went back to the shop to talk to Lam about it, and what does the POS tell me, he said I should've got the pads from the dealer, but not before he takes my money with his crappy pads. This guy should be out of business, what a rip off! Anything beyond a oil change from the place I would strongly recommend you stay away from the place. read more

It's Sunday Mother's Day and they're open! Last minute life saver on a bad wheel. Needed to change a good tire off a bad wheel and on to a good wheel. Only asked $30 for both request. My rims were damaged and they couldn't guarantee the integrity of the tire pressure. We said why not let's give it a try. It worked! So relieved that they were willing to try and not rip us off. Another shop in El Monte wanted $50 to do the same work. I'm definitely bring my tire/wheel exchange out work back to them. read more

This lam auto shop has been overcharging me---charging me for services that weren't performed. Firstly, they took my money's but never installed the new oil filter and insisted that I needed a new filter, charged me for it, the mechanic never replaced it. What worse than going getting ripped off for a fake repairs? The mechanic try to busted my hoses so I could repaired the hoses and clamps. And yet, the mechanic try to charges me more than $100.0 for the clamps. To make matters worse, they came up with a list of repairs with outrageous prices. This shop is very dishonest, steal from you, lied to, taken advantage of women, and have your car held hostage. Always overcharged their customers and won't give you a receipt. Stay away! read more

Came here all the way from NorCal with my maintenance light on. Felt nervous and heard from my friend this is where she gets her oil changed! No wait and it took about 20-25 minutes! Checked my break pads, air filter, added wiper fluid, and added air to my tires. So nice of them. 25$ for about 5,000 miles and they said 18$ for about 3,000 miles. I drive a 2011 Toyota rav4. I didn't even know there was different types of oil. Very friendly and would come back if I'm in the area. read more

Lam Auto Service is quick, reasonably priced and provides quality work. I had my AC serviced and an oil change, couldn't be happier. AC is running so cold now and this was the best price I could find. I have friends who only trust Lam and now I'm convinced as well. read more

5/29/16 Having my performance breaks installed at Lams! all my component that I bought where Brembo and Lam's had no issue installing! Quality Part! Quality service at a fair price! The next thing that I'm planning to bring is my quality lowering suspension and downpipe to be installed next month! Happy happy happy!!!!! I don't know why I try going anywhere else for my car service. Just recently purchased a older GTI and got my Mobile one Oil change here. Was going to get the conventional but Michael suggested the mobile one... And yup it was in my mind but he knows what best for me and my car. Sonny already know what my vision is for this car and I don't need to justify my tastes because he know where my vision is for this car. My fault and friend come here because I've never left this place feeling taken advantage of. I always feel like I got a good price on good service and work. read more

Good customer service always gets things done right. Would recommend this to anyone who needs their car fixed

Sonny helped me do an oil change, charged $15 for labor (I provided the oil and filter). He also checked my coolant level and added windshield cleaner to my car for free. Answered all my questions and gave me some pointers about car maintenence. Also ran a diagnostic of my check engine light for free. Great service! read more

Our aunt recommended this place and called ahead about our visit. So we did have high expectation when we arrived. Son, the one who helped us that day, was patiently and honestly show us which of the problems should get fix priority and which ones shouldn't. Unlike the Auto City Tech repair, that all ya should AVOID, this place doesn't try to get your money out of the pocket. "There are the problems. This should be fixed now. This can be wait". Bem!!! Just like that! Why it gotta be so hard to tell the truth? The bottom line is, I love the place and will definitely come back if my baby gets sick. read more

DO NOT TRUSTED this place!! They will drove your car if you don't pick up your car right away. They drove my car for 600+miles!! I just did oil change before I dropped off my car. They charge me over $1000 for fix AC. and when my husband pick up the car they complaint it's hard to fix it, and only want cash. read more

Today, Mr. Lam lost a client for good. I've been going to LAM Auto Repair for almost 2 years for both my Accord and Civic. I was there earlier today with my Civic and spent $80 ($30 oil change, $20 filter and $30 for cabin filter). I spoke with Sonny who told me that it would be $50 for the 2 filters, I quickly looked up on Amazon and saw that I could buy both for $33. But wanting to support a local business and understanding that a business has to make money, I agreed to pay the $50. While Sonny quickly worked on the cabin filter, I asked him how much he'd charge to change wiper blades. He said $15 for the driver side and $10 for passenger side. Then I asked him how much he'd charge if I were to bring him the materials. He said he'd just do it free since it's relatively easy. I went to Costco and bought a #19 and #26 Goodyear wiper blades for $7.99 a piece. Went back to Lam auto and Sonny wasn't there. But the boss, Mr. Lam wouldn't honor the deal and said he was paying Sonny and that nothing was free. He wanted to charge me $10 but I mentioned that I spent $80 a few hours before at their location. He dropped it to $5, then I told him that I had no cash and asked if I could use plastic. His price went up again to $10, then dropped again to $8. Wow...what a lousy way to run a business. I'm never taking any car back to LAM Auto Repair due to Mr. Lam's unethical way of conducting a business, I will also spread the word to avoid this place like a plague. Came home, youtube some videos and changed both wipers in less than 5 minutes. read more

I was surprised at the immediate service received at Lam . They were very responsive with my dilemma.

This place is.. just A-OK. I like to come here because they're open on Sundays and they provide fairly quick service. The most important reason why is because they're close to my house. No wait you say? I'm there in less than 2 minutes! However, they've told me over the phone that I can come immediately over to have my oil changed.. only to have me find out that the guy who does their oil change just woke up and needs 30 minutes to come over. Not cool, and makes me hesitant about getting service in the morning (this was around 9:30am). I'm charged $15 for an oil change for my 2007 Toyota Matrix. Not too bad, though it's not the marketed $11.99 but I don't make too big of a fuss. As long as I don't have to do it, I don't mind too much. Unless they try to pull another "we're ready for you" and then I'm met with "I need 30 more minutes." My advice: don't go too early, and make an appointment if possible. read more

My Mercedes Benz glk350 4matic mr the lam do good job and service very good, is good job

My family would always recommend me this place for my auto needs. First off, I brought my car here for an oil change - $18 for 3,000 miles and $25 for 5,000 miles. Not too bad. -They checked the threads and my tire pressure -They found a nail in my rear tire and offered to extra and fill it in with gel for a little over $10, probably 15 or something like that, but was told after that I didn't need the filling, awesome! I opted for the latter option, of which they charge a $1 fee in addition to the oil change if you use your debit card. All in all -Friendly staff -It might be a bit pricier than some auto service shops in the area, but they do offer more for their services than the other shops. -Service was fairly quick. read more

Do not come to this business. The men owning this body shop are scammers. They quoted me $200 less than what they charged me at the end. They scammed me today out of $200. you have been warned. Michael is a bitter old Vietnamese man and Joe is stupid and no better than his father. As you can tell I'm pissed off. read more

My family and I have been coming to Lam's auto service for the past few years. We never had any issues with them doing maintenance on any of our vehicles. Recently I had my brakes, rotors, and oil change done on 2/9/19. We paid cash $490 since Michael stated that if we pay my card, the amount would be higher. They didn't give us an invoice and I figured it would be ok since we are long time customers. A week later on 2/16/19 someone totaled my car and I had informed my attorney of the recent maintenance that I had done and that I would need an itemized invoice so that the insurance company would reimburse partial for the brakes and rotors. Went to Lam's to request for a copy of the invoice so that I can submit it to my attorney and now they're stating that they don't remember doing maintenance on my GX460! I still have the tag on my keychain that Michael had written $490 and my number on the back so that he can call me once the car was done as proof. Joe is stating that he does not have records of me taking my car to their shop which is a lie. They never gave us an invoice because if they get audited, there will be proof that the books don't balance! I can't believe that after being long time customers, they are gonna be shady with us! Michael even told my mom that they only give invoices within 2 days of doing service and that after that it's our loss. According to the BAR (California bureau of automobiles repair) they have to keep all records of a minimum of 3 years. If anyone has any issues with Lam's auto service, please report them to BBB and to the BAR! If you do report them, please remember to include their license# 273065. All new customers needing any sort of maintenance done, I would highly recommend that you guys save yourself the trouble and go to a different auto repair shop. This shop is unethical and cannot be trusted! There are also other helpers complaining of this repair shop and now I understand why. read more

Really decent place. Been here twice, first time to get an oil change and they were very accommodating. It was actually based on my dad's recommendation. Second time was today getting a brake change. I would suggest calling in and making an appointment just to check if they're busy but they'll work you in as soon as possible. Quick and very efficient. I would recommend giving this place a shot if in the area. Customer service is definitely A+. read more

I wouldn't recommend anyone to drive here to repair punctured repairable tires when they charge $30, as I experienced when Michael Lam insisted I come in over the phone. He would not quote me, as I know all honest repair shops would easily quote over the phone. I even asked how his shop does the repair to determine if he would describe the proper repair. In person, he said his shop "can't remove the tire from the rim" to do the job, which is very ridiculous for any auto repair shop--how do they install new tires on wheels??--manually with a long screwdriver?? Based on my conversation with him, he thought he can get my business just because I drove in and, at the same time, not telling the truth, thinking I'm an unknowledgeable car person. I decided to pass on the job after I informed him I'm not paying for his exorbitant pricing although he tried to lower it, and wait until Monday when all regular shops, including my regular one, open. Also, when I drove into the shop the first time, my impression was negative when I observed a lone very young worker in shorts and sneakers working on a customer's car, and another customer waiting out in the open sitting on an outdoor chair. I wish OSHA would visit this business. read more

My friend recommended this place for oil change but after reading some reviews on Yelp about this place, I was scared and doubtful about the service here too. But I still went there to get my oil change anyway since it's pretty cheap. I got oil change of advanced synthetic oil for $40, tire rotation for $15. The total of everything is $55 + $5 tip. The man named Micheal who helped me with oil change and tire rotation is pretty nice & friendly. Changing oil filter is also included in the fee, he also helped me to refill the windshield wipers fluid for my car and it's free. He took good care of my car. I can see there are a lots of bad reviews due to some reasons, maybe we all have different experience here, but for me Lam's Auto Service delivered a good customer service, and I am satisfied. I have no regrets and I trust 100% Lam's Auto Service is going to improve more on their services. Will come back next time! read more

My boyfriend told me to bring my car here because it is close by. My car was making a weird noise. The mechanic said it was the timing belt that needed to be changed. I called my boyfriend and he told the mechanic that the timing belt doesn't need to be changed for another 40k. The mechanic insisted it was the timing belt. I left and decided to get another quote from another mechanic the next day. On the following day, while I was driving my car it totally broke down. It was the transmission. Lam Auto service got it wrong. It wasn't the timing belt at all. I rated it a two star because it was the mechanic that gave me the wrong information and not the owner. read more

Great place to fix your car!!!! Cheap price on oil change. My best expericen was once my tire broke down and other place told me that I have to change a new tire. But the guy there helped me fix my tire in 5 mins and only cost me $10. Can u believe it!!! It's a great place to go. read more

Popped my tire. Came here because it was closest to my accident. No questions asked fixed on the spot.

Gave this shop several opportunities to work on my vehicle. I knew they installed the wrong side as each part has a specific part number. I was advised to let the mechanics do their job.. "they are master mechanics". I went to another shop because my car didn't feel right and they alerted me that the parts were not installed to the corresponding side. Second time they quoted me that my vehicle needed xx parts but a trusted shop told me that's incorrect and wouldn't fix the problem I'm having. Why bring a car to be repaired if you're going to play trial and error and bill me? I'd rather spend the extra dollar and make sure it's done correctly. read more

I took my car to repair a/c . I paid a lot of money .my car now make noise and still blow hot air. This place suck and will never go back.they can do regular job like oil change . But if you need a major repair beware of this place. read more

At the time of my first review, Lam Auto Repair was totally different then now! SO, now a oil change, of 5-20 regular oil, and filter, out the door at $20! THE excellent service is no longer! Air in tires and inspection not done! Prices are not as they once were! Michale's son left, and the mechanic of long standing! TRUST business shifts for Lam's, to the better! I do not think I will go back even for oil change as the attitude to much! Michale now charging to much $$$.... He needs $11.99 oil deal again to get customers in, and then do other repairs- my thinking! THEN he need another employee there to change oil, a vicious circle! read more
