The body work on my 2023 leased KIA electric turned out great. The proceedure was handled very professionally. And thought there was an initial misunderstanding based on the photos of the car, all ended well with a happy customer, a happy company, a great workman and a beautiful car. read more

Super friendly people and they actually answer the phone! Was in and out quickly and totally fair prices, I recommend them!

Really great place took my corvette here for work after incident at another place who botched up my oil change. Called in as it was an emergency and was down the street from other place. Ruben took care of the car and was very straight forward on the repairs. Very honest place and they know what their doing. %100 I will be returning for my future car needs. The Corvette is running amazing read more

Despite moving a bit further away, I only take my car to Magic Touch. Just yesterday I got in my 2013 Elantra and something just didn't feel right. I drove straight to Magic Touch, and Simon and the team got it fixed right up with ignition coils and spark plugs. I credit this shop for keeping my car humming along instead of needing a new one (and the car payments that come with it)! read more

Asked for advice about my car, and he was honest, respectful, and not trying to con me. Thank you

Fast reliable service. Good pricing and are honest with work and what needs fixing and not try to sell you what you don't need. Will return for future service needs. read more

This place is great, not only are they super responsive and competent but if you're a regular they make you feel like family. They take care of you all the way including the one time when something goes wrong with the repair, they'll recognize it and make sure to fix it and satisfy their customer. Genuinely honest and good people, I appreciate everyone there, Ruben, Simon, Richard and everyone. An old school small business that is becoming too rare these days. read more

Really really nice people who do great work for a great price. They were recommended to me years ago by someone who has been going to them for over a decade and im glad i went with them. ill definitely keep coming back read more

I've been going to Magic Touch for years, everything from oil changes, brake jobs, electrical issues, etc. It is the garage you're looking for if you don't mind paying for honest, skilled work. They are truly expert, not cheap but worth every penny if you value quality repairs and maintenance. And they seem able to work on every kind and age of car there is. read more

Ok this place is top notch. From convenient scheduling to fair prices to stellar work ethic. They answered all my questions and gave me honest advice about what what crucial to repair at the time. I cannot thank Ruben and his staff enough for their genuine kindness and amazing customer service, always explaining everything in great detail (also in layman's terms so I understood exactly what was being fixed). I have found my forever repair shop. Highest recommendation possible. Don't go anywhere else! Thanks again guys! read more

I took my Honda Civic in for repairs: a tensioner belt replacement and adjustments/replacements on screws for oil leaking. Shoutout to Ruben and the man who I picked up my keys from (forgot his name). Sorry lol. Very nice workers. They quoted me 1K less than what the dealership would have cost me. Called me regarding updates on my car. Very professional and made the process super easy. read more

Excellent auto repair shop I have been going here for the last 32 years. I started going to them when they were on Olympic Boulevard and La Brea they were called J&T auto repair. Ruben and Johnny have done a great job throughout the years they are straight shooters, give you a price and get the job done that's what I like about them,also Ruben's Dad Johnnie is next-door with Eco pure oil and lube so if you need an oil change he's right there. Simon one of the mechanics he's been there for many years also does an excellent job, so if you are in the West LA area by pico and La Brea stop by and let them know what's wrong with your car and they will fix it give you a good price and make sure that you leave happy. I thank Ruben and Johnnie for being good friends throughout the years and helping me with my auto Repairs. I highly recommend them automobile doctors. read more

This business communicates very well and is very professional. I felt my car was in good hands and it was fixed in a time frame shorter then I anticipated. Richard is also very nice and funny. Thank you again! read more

My check engine light came on and they diagnosed the problem and were able to perform the repairs on the same day. Great service! My only complaint is that they are not an authorized Ford repair shop and did not check if there were any recalls/FSA for my particular car. There ended up being an extended warranty to the throttle body part that they repaired and the work would have been covered if I had brought it to the dealer. Damn out $320! Ouch! read more

My 72 had a mysterious noise I've been driving with for months. After visiting several mechanics far and wide to take the challenge, I found these guys on Yelp. It wasn't easy lol but I love how these guys stuck with it until resolved. Honest, dedicated and very accommodating. If you have an old school car these guys ain't scared.....I think I found a new home. read more

I can always count on this place. My car broke down when I first moved to LA in 2008 and ever since then, I'm always coming back because they are on point!... Literally. There were 3 major problems with my car that they've taken care of and never have they been wrong about what the problem is. They are so knowledgeable and know exactly what they're doing. I recommend this place to anyone. If there's something wrong with your car, ask the friendly guys here, they'll take good care of your car. read more

Reuben is not only an incredible mechanic but he is also a good person. I feel like every time I took my car into mechanics in the past that I ended up paying way too much. I will only be going to Reuben at Magic Touch from now on. If you want an honest mechanic who will put the customer's best interest before personal commerce, then I highly recommend going to see Reuben at Magic Touch Automotive for any thing related to your car. read more

Thanks MagicTouch....diagnosed my problem -fixed it and excellent price!!Ruben ,Deanna.Roscoe,Simon took the very best care of my ride...bring some donuts- read more

Been coming here for a couple of years. Ruben and Simon are really competent and informative. They explain in detail and don't BS. I know because I worked on my cars forever until I got to busy in life. Never had to come back for the same problem and you feel like you are getting a reasonable deal. read more

Good service and good price. I love to come to this plsce for fix my car. If you have anything to fix your car I recommend go to this place.

I've been going to Magic Touch for all my automotive repairs for four years now. They've always given me the best deals in comparison to other mechanics in town! Other mechanics will scam you, especially if you're clueless to the auto industry. Service here is great, they treat you like family and will periodically give you updates! They will explain every detail on the invoice if you asked and will answer all your questions truthfully. Everyone here is amazing and friendly, but I wanted to give a big shout out to Simon! His service is awesome and he is my go to mechanic!! read more

I came to Magic Touch Auto after I bought a used car in November 2016, which had a LOT of problems. Ruben and his crew were awesome! They worked really hard to fix the problem and actually saved me from having to replace the whole transmission. They picked me up and drove me home many times (the car was in the shop for over a week) and also let me use a loaner car when they had one available. For as much work as they had to do, they were very reasonable on the cost, I would have paid MUCH more at another shop. They also worked with me on making payments. I had to bring the car back last month when it needed the coolant system replaced and they were again just the BEST! Plus, they are sooooo nice! Ruben and his wife Diana are wonderful and treat you like family. And the rest of the crew as just as great. And don't forget to say hi to their dog Rascal read more

Ruben is simply the best and most honest mechanic you will ever meet

I usually dread having to go to autoshop for anything, probably because I don't know very much about automotive repair. I had to have a major repair done two weeks ago and Ruben and his team were able to do it in one day. They were professional and completely honest about what I needed to fix now versus what could wait. I'm definitely going back here in the future. The driveway into the shop was easy to miss the first time I went. Drive slowly and look for their name in purple. read more

"The place looks a bit sketchy (yellow and purple paint?) " Perception is everything because I thought the exact opposite. Of all the auto repair places on La Brea, Magic's yellow and purple building is the only one that is freshly painted and well maintained. All the other places, including the Firestone, look like relicts from the '70s and haven't seen a fresh coat of paint probably since the 70s. Since moving here three years ago I've always been fascinated by what Southern Californians consider to be "sketchy and ghetto". read more

This place is the real deal! If I could give them 10 stars I would! Ruben and Simon know there ish and when it comes to getting the job done right, they're the ones I trust with all my cars. I've brought every single car I've had to repair in the past few years here. (MB C350, CLS550, MB E350, HONDA Prelude, and I just got my AUDI A8L back) it runs like a cloud now (as it should) and it's all thanks to Ruben and his team. The prices are more than fair and everyone here is genuine and honest. Thanks again, Ruben for all the work you and your team put in my car. Have a Merry Christmas!!! read more

A+++++ service, heres what happened: Towed my Beemer here which was scary cause I have a guy in the valley that usually does everything for me. The guy was extremely friendly and polite and stuff seemed reasonably clean. They looked at my car and told me what the problem was before making me sign anything which made me feel comfortable being there. The price they gave me was fair... I asked my regular mechanic what I should be charged and his quote was spot on. And they got the freshest cars in there too, looks like they work on the classics a lot! Cars been working fine for two days and they didn't dirty it up or anything when they worked on it. Have faith in going here. read more

I have been taking my truck here for years. My Wife is now the proud owner of a BMW 550 so we bring both of our automobiles to Magic Touch. I can honestly say that after many years of nightmares I have FINALLY found a place I can bring my ride to without ANY worries of over charges or lame embellishing just to make a quick buck. Brakes, mechanical, fixing codes , resetting computer, modifications , trans service and all. I will always bring my care here no matter where I move! read more

Magic touch did a beautiful paint job for me on my Toyota RAV4 they were quicker than expected Rueben is very accommodating and his staff is very Thorough. read more

These guys are great! I had a strange incident where my new kitten was frantic coming from the Veterinarian and he jumped at me, scratched me then ran under my car through the driver side under the brake and gas pedal. Long story short, I couldn't get the kitten out, he began to crawl all through the front of my car and the staff here were patient and kind enough to help me get this kitten out. They laughed and was shocked to know my situation, but they worked with me as a team and we pulled parts off the car and was able to get him out safely. This place also fixed my spark plugs for a great price versus what Toyota was trying to charge me. Moving forward, I will always go to this place for my car needs! They are great!!!! read more

The entire staff are incredibly helpful, informative, and best of all they are real, down to earth honest people who do great work all around. They go the extra mile to inform you of choices with parts and why some are better than others. Phenomenal! read more

I love this place! They've got a really great team and I appreciate all that they do. Real people who know what they are doing and treat you with the upmost respect. Thanks guys! read more

I've gone back 2 times since then and it just keeps getting better and better. Magic Touch is clearly a blessing. e read more

This place awesome!! and it is family owned by a dad and his son - John and Ruben. You can call them anytime of the day and they will be there to pick up the phone. One time around 6pm we had an issue with our truck and Jhon was on the phone for over an hour with me directing step and by the step all the procedure on how to restart the engine... Thanks god magic touch was there to help! Otherwise we wouldn't stayed on the side of the road all night waiting.... read more

Brought my car into Magic Touch for the first time and I'm glad I did. The serpentine belt and belt retentioner broke on my 2010 Ford Focus. My car arrived in the morning and was back on the road that evening. Rueben is a nice guy and runs a really good shop. I thought the pricing was fair. It's not cheap to fix a car, but it's nice to be able to take it to a shop that can get the job done quickly & efficiently. Will probably be seeing them again, but not too soon. read more

When was the last time you found a mechanic that was honest, pleasant, did exceptional work with a quick turnaround at a competitive price? Yeah. That's what I thought. That's because you haven't been to Magic Touch. Thanks to Ruben and the whole crew for taking care of mine and my girlfriend's VWs. You made the move from Boston to LA a hell of a lot easier and we're proud to be your newest loyal customers. read more

Ruben was recommended to me by my coworkers and I am forever grateful because he and his team are amazing! The door to my gas tank wouldn't open and the other mechanic I called stood me up, so I was at a loss and in a total panic. I called Ruben and he said to bring it on by so he could take a look. He fixed it in minutes and didn't charge me for it. His mechanic Simon installed the new headlamp bulbs I'd bought, but couldn't install myself, even though that hadn't been part of our initial conversation. All said, I was in and out in 15 minutes and Ruben only charged me a paltry amount for Simon's time. I trusted Ruben and his team based on my coworkers' experiences, but now I can say from experience that I trust him. He's my new mechanic and I'll be taking my car in for oil changes and any other service my car needs. If you need a mechanic and want someone you can trust, look no further than Ruben and the team at Magic Touch Automotive. Thanks again, guys! I'll be back soon. read more

The guys here go above and beyond of what is expected.. After a minor accident my new beetle needed a new radiator and front grille. I went around got a few estimates and Magic Touch was the cheapest- by $1,000. They suggested ordering a different grille which eliminated my need of fog lights which saved about $500. They try their hardest to get you the most affordable price. They're also super fast and reliable. My car was finished 2 days after being dropped off. In addition to the engine work they also fixed my radio, and filled up my oil. They won't try and up-sell and don't try to rip you off. I'd definitely go there again and recommended it to anyone.. read more
