DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. I got my front and rear brakes replaced here and my brakes continued to squeak. I brought it back a few times and they would say my brakes were dry and clean them up but the problem never resolved. After taking my car to another shop, they revealed that the parts didn't even have a brand on them (VERY cheap) and although I was told they replaced my rear rotors, they did not. I now have to pay $2k to get them fixed correctly when I paid $1400 at this shop. A complete waste of money and time. read more

Pls save yourself time and avoid this place at all costs. Showed up this morning to have front brakes and rotors replaced. Some guy with Aldo path on shirt drives up with client. I wait for 10 mins while he finishes another vehicle. This guy asked me for change and I stupidly give him $25 and he says he'll knock off labor costs. He's starts working on my brakes and attempts to take off a t45 screw that's on the rotor. He strips it on first try. FML. I tell him to just leave it now worries. The guy goes to town on the screw and obliterates the face. FML. Send some to some random place 30mins away. Guy working in it tell me my lug nuts were loose. FML. Finally takes off screw 10 mins later. Charges $60. I'm out $85 and no new brakes yet. AVOID THIS PLACE. NOT WORTH THE HEADACHE! read more

M & D Brake - This the T45 screw destroyed by Aldo. - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Was a regular until they decided to use cheap parts in my car which caused sever damage to my engine. Only trust them for an oil change, if that lol read more

100% Satisfied. Miguel was friendly, professional , fast & efficient, communicative and charged me very fairly for a full oil change and front brake job. It was a very good experience; I will definitely be back. read more

Fixed my brakes within a day and an oil change. Very professional. Didn't try to say anything else was wrong with my Jeep, which I always know is coming. Very pleased with the work. Ask for Dale read more

5 STARS - Needed new rear rotors and brakes for my Range Rover Evoque (2015) and Dale/Alanzo not only quoted me a great price (better than the 7 others I called) they could also take me quickly. Service was in and out in 2.5 hours - fast and they dealt with the finiky Range Rover brake sensors as well. Excellent work, service and very friendly. Shop is simple, work is exceptional. FYI - Other independent brake or Euro service guys were $100 - $300 higher and need a week to schedule. The best part was the dealer was double! read more

I stopped in to get an estimate on brake pad replacement and an oil change. They got me in right away and my car was ready in a few hours for a reasonable price. Highly recommend! read more

Needed my brakes fixed last minute and called for a quote on a Saturday morning. I was given an estimate but I was told to come down to confirm what my car needed. Upon arriving I was immediately helped out by Dale whom I spoke with on the phone and he immediately had his technician take a look at my brakes. Keep in mind this was a last minute appointment and they were still able to give me the attention to my car start immediately. I initially thought it was my front brakes that needed repair as there was a grinding noise coming from there. The tech took a look at the thickness of the brake pads left and didn't see an issue with the front. He took it for a test drive around the corner to confirm the grinding. He popped off the wheels and took apart the brake to see what was causing it. Instead of misleading me and making up some bogus "repairs" like some shady shops would do, Dale explained to me what was wrong with it and had his tech fix it without requiring replacement parts. A+ for the honesty. Besides that, the rear brakes were low and I decided to get those replaced. I was in at 10AM, was told my car would be done by 12PM, and got a phone call at 11AM (an hour early) saying my car was ready. Great experience overall. Great pricing. Quick turnaround. Honest work. I will definitely be back here again whenever I need some repairs done. read more

I have no complaints. The price was right, Dale and his fellow mechanics were friendly. My 2 front breaks were replaced in just over an hour, and pick up was easy. I recommend. P.S. This was the first service I've scheduled using the 'get quotes' feature of Yelp. I recommend using that as well. read more

Have been a customer here for years for their excellent service and great value. I truly believe my car is in good hands here. Highly recommend! read more

I got my brakes done here a couple of months ago. I don't drive my car much but I started noticing some clicking noise. Nothing to do with the brakes. It seems some how on my front passenger side tire I was missed 4 out of the 5 lug nuts. Could of been anything for any reason? Locked one remained. I called back and told them my situation and the owner told me to bring my car in immediately. He was able to provide me with great quick service and took care of installing these rare Infiniti lug nuts. Stellar! They do it all here - GO! Trusted! read more

The guys here are polite & honest. I got a quote from another Brake & Tire shop in Culver City for almost $100 more for the same job!! I needed new brake pads & rotors sanded. They did it while I waited and they wore masks. The place could be a little cleaner but I was very happy with their work and the price. read more

M & D Brake - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Brakes started squeaking, called Dale at M & D Brake, he was able to get me in before I damaged my Rotors. Have special slotted and drilled Rotors, some Brake places won't turn them. M & D had the right machine for high end Rotors. One of the Ceramic Pads cracked causing the noise. Dale was able to get the same Extreme Braking Ceramic Pads. They also cleaned and turned the rear brakes. In and out in a couple of hours. Highly recommend M & D Brake service. This is the second time I've had my brakes done at M & D Brakes. Thanks Dale! Had a noise coming from the rear brakes, Dale immediately knew what the problem was. Brake dust. To me sounded like new brakes, boy was I wrong (thankfully) now have more money to pay my wealthy ex-wife. (That's a zero star story about California Divorce Attorneys). They cleaned the rear brakes, free of charge (can't beat that!) and sent me on my way. Total time 20 minutes max. If you want an honest estimate and fantastic service, do yourself a favor and see Dale at M & D Brakes. read more

I have been looking for a good mechanic for many years and I finally found one. M and D break was a joy to work with and they completed the work on time with a smile on their face. Such a joy after so many grumpy condescending mechanics. read more

This is what a Real Customer Service supposed to look like! I called D & M Brakes on National Blvd in Los Angeles, as per my husband suggestion, to inquiry if they could fix my right- side mirror on my Lexus. The moment I arrived I was asked if I was the person who just called... I explained the issue I was having with my mirror ...a mechanic, who was working on the side, was called to take a look at it ....the mechanic worked on my car for about 7 minutes ...then the gentleman told me, "Done" !! "It was disconnected..." he said ....shook my hand and sent me on my way... I'm writing this ... not only to acknowledge the stellar "free service" I received .... but it's not only the fact that I wasn't charged! I was probably could pay for the service... but how I felt afterward...as a customer...I felt Good and taking care off... Please visit this neighborhood shop near Culver City for all you car needs ... I'm assure you ... you won't be disappointed as a customer read more

I brought my car to get the rotors resurfaced, and brakes replaced. Dale and his employees are awesome. I would definitely recommend coming here to get your brake and car work done. Very honest, helpful and respectful. They give you a time frame and follow up to let you know when the car is ready. Highly recommended!!!. read more

Being a business owner, customer service is so important to me. From the moment I called M &D the owner was kind and extremely helpful. I wasn't sure what I needed and was a bit worried because I'm a woman and we are always worried about getting taken advantage of. The owner explained to me the noise I was hearing was the front brake pads, not a complete brake job. The other place down the street told me that!! My pads were changed, and in an hour everything was done and I was on my way. Great customer service Honesty Reasonable Great work read more

I came here to get my brakes done. The guy who helped me was super nice! I didn't know my front tire was bad. He GAVE me a free tire and sent me down the street to have it put on. I was very taken back by how concerned he was about my safety and not having me have a blow out on the freeway. I HIGHLY recommend this place. I will come back and get my brakes here for life! I'm in shock of how awesome my experience was here. I normally don't write yelp reviews but this was very well deserved! read more

I had work done here Dale was great. Replaced was ABS module and because light on dash board was coming on staying on.I had part to them. Very helpful Had challenges and where there for me. Getting the car there for repairs and for me was great. Being a female and caring great Also getting car serviced for oil change and radiator hoses transmission mount When above and beyond help due to challenges I hope I found a good place for my older car which need to keep running Go back for tune up in the future Recommend them Dale really seems to care about his customers read more

These guys are really as good as they get. First of all you got the attention and care of a small business owner who genuinely cares about his customers because for him, happy customers = more business. My experience here was very pleasant. I'm pretty much a do-it-yourself person when it comes to working on cars because I don't believe mechanics at dealerships treat your car with love at all and the price you pay deserves that. Dale and his group of guys here do take the time to do the job properly and the best part is they offer an incredible price when compared to others. For example, he charges $10 to turn your rotors when everyone else charges a solid $20 bucks each. Some places don't even want to turn your rotors cause they think a $20 job isn't worth their time. In short great business, will come back for future repairs & maintenance issues. Oh and even tho their business name is states brakes, they do all kinds of repairs and maintenance issues. Just give them a call! read more

They are fast, quick and efficient. I called in at 8:10am on a Saturday for a 2011 Chevy Malibu headlight replacement. I showed up at 8:30 and I received to call to pick it up by 9:30am. Amazing! The whole front bumper and wheel well need to be removed to do this repair. They are quite amazing. I trust them! read more

Dale was great! I needed new rotors and breaks and he put all original parts for the best deal in Culver City and probably all of Los Angeles. Not one to scam, just tryna give you the best service. I dropped my car off before work and was able to pick it up on my lunch break and they even checked all of my fluids and everything. Will go back for whatever I need! read more

Very honest. On all. More than brakes. Will take care of you. Dale is very nice. Went there a few times and always good service and advice.

The brakes on my Mazda needed servicing and the dealer wanted crazy money. I tried using the get quotes feature on yelp to get a quote from M & D Brake as I live fairly close. They quickly got back to me with a great price, and they were able to get my car done that same day! Everything was super fast and easy, the brakes on my car are perfect. I have been driving it a while since (including a long road-trip) and everything has been great, no complaints! Overall a great experience, and I will be back if ever need work on my brakes in the future. read more

Dale is a nice guy and made things easy for me. He quickly replied to all my messages on yelp. Also his price for brake pad replacement and adjustment was reasonable. Happy to have supported his business. Will return. read more

Dale was a great help! Called at 8AM and had my car to him by 8:30 and was done by 1:00PM. Great communication, honest, and fair pricing for brake and rotor replacement. Will be returning here for any future maintenance! read more

Alonso did a fantastic job replacing the fan in my car. Was able to pick up my car the next morning. Also $35 oil was great! Definitely coming back! read more

The worst. Went in for brakes and he broke my ignition and didnt pay for it

I had a great experience here. Dale was able to fit me in on short notice to look at my brakes. Unfortunately I needed new rotors and pads, but Dale quoted me a much fairer price than any other shop, which made it easy to choose M&D Brake. They did a great job and got it done quickly. I will definitely be back in the future! read more

I called Friday afternoon when the owner was on his way out, but he happily accommodated me when I asked if I could bring my car in on Saturday. He was on time and friendly when I arrived. My brakes were fixed within a few hours and drives SO much better than before. Their prices were very affordable. I think they even dusted off my dash and maybe sprayed the new car smell inside, and who doesn't love new car smell?! read more

The owner Dale is great guy. He is very honest on what needs to be done on your car and is really fair. I would recommend him to anyone needing work done. read more

Very reasonable prices, friendly service, and great work. And they're open on Saturdays!

Went to 2 other brake specialists who quoted me $650-$700 for two separate issues. Went into M & D Brake and guy explained to me he thought the problem was the hose and why. Quoted me $145, much cheaper than the others and that indeed was what was needed!! Honest and competent mechanics, I'm going back to them!! read more

These guys are fantastic. I had been price gouged for years by a dishonest shop and after finding Dale and his crew, everything has been so much easier. They are proactive and reasonable and do things punctually. read more

This business was very accommodating and efficient, My son is from Michigan and we was not aware of any brake places in California and Dale was friendly and very understanding. I love that he was available every time I called and how he kept me informed. Highly recommended read more

I've been going to M & D Brake shop for general maintenance for several years now and always have a great experience. Recently, I needed new tires and called Dale to ask about pricing. He was accommodating to how I wanted to proceed, always available and patient over several phone calls and quoted me a fair price. The work was done efficiently and I drove away not feeling like I've been ripped off. Thanks, Dale and crew! read more

Dale and his team went above and beyond to provide assistance and guidance when the battery died on the '97 Civic. Because of their help we didn't have to take it in again to a mechanic and they did it without charging us a dime. Will definitely use them in the future. Shop was a little hard to find but worth the hunt. read more

Excellent, quick service!! The owner knew exactly what the problem was with my car, and not only fixed the problem but even threw in a free oil change. I was very pleased with their work here -- I can see why they've been in business over 40 years! read more

I own a small used car dealership and needed to get a car I had a sold ready for a customer for delivery. Being safety and customer satisfaction is my main concern at my car dealership . I do not have a mechanic on the payroll at this time and I had used M & D for brakes and axle parts over the pass twenty years. So I called Dale the owner who I had not talked to for a long time to get prices on axles and brake parts and he told me to come into the shop and he could handle everything for me at the shop I needed at good price. When I arrived his mechanic told me I did not need new brake rotors that mine only need to be machined. I wanted them to replace the brakes and one CV axle. The mechanic pointed out that both CV axles where bad , So I checked under car and he was right. About two hours later they had installed right and left axles, turned the rotors, replaced front brakes, checked rear brakes (ok) and changed engine oil and filter and all work was done right and at a very fair cost. My customer will be happy and I could see that is the way Dale is working to keep his customers. read more
