Exceptional Service, Integrity, and Trust -- Highly Recommend Ray at 101 Auto Repair…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ray and the team at 101 Auto Repair. I've been bringing my vehicles to Ray since the early 2000s, and he has consistently proven himself to be honest, knowledgeable, and someone I can completely trust. I drive a 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport, and now that I'm past the factory warranty, it is incredibly important for me to know I have a mechanic who will give me accurate information and fair pricing--without taking advantage of the situation. Ray has always done exactly that. Over the past few months, I've had a few issues arise. When my car overheated and was losing coolant, Ray quickly diagnosed a leaking hose and repaired it the very same day, getting me safely back on the road at a fair price. Another time, when the check engine light came on, he identified that it was simply the battery and replaced it efficiently. What I appreciate most is his honesty. Just yesterday, my check engine light came on again, and after running diagnostics, Ray explained that the system was detecting vapor from the refueling area and that I likely just needed to tighten my gas cap. He could have easily charged me for unnecessary work, but instead, he gave me the correct guidance--and didn't charge me a thing. He has even helped me with small things, like replacing the battery in my key fob, at no cost. Ray is the kind of mechanic everyone hopes to find--skilled, fair, honest, and genuinely committed to taking care of his customers. When you leave his shop, you feel confident and secure knowing your vehicle was serviced correctly. If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic who will treat you with integrity and respect, I highly recommend Ray and 101 Auto Repair.

Worst place to go to. Prices are ridiculously high. Will…read morenever return. The dealer charged me way cheaper than this mechanic.

They have pretty good prices and the service was pretty quick as well. I recommend you go here for anything besides tires. (They do not work on tires)

I had a really stressful situation with my 2017 GMC Yukon SLT needing a full transmission…read morereplacement, and I'm honestly grateful I found AM-KO Automotive Repair in Canoga Park. Sevan, the new owner, made a horrible situation manageable from the very beginning. He took the time to clearly explain what was wrong, what my options were, and what the repair would realistically cost and take in time -- no surprises and no runaround. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, which is rare when dealing with major automotive repairs. The transmission replacement went smoothly and the vehicle now drives the way it should again. What stood out most was how much they genuinely cared about helping me, not just finishing the job. They went above and beyond to accommodate me, keep me informed, and make sure I felt comfortable leaving my vehicle in their hands. If you need honest, professional work done -- especially something major -- I strongly recommend AM-KO Automotive Repair. They turned a nightmare repair into a manageable experience, and that says a lot. Very reasonable price!!!

the first time I visited this place I took my dads car for a tire alignment using a Groupon voucher…read more(great value!) I loved how knowledgeable the technician was just by listening to the car, they provided me with the printouts with the results and made some recommendations. More recently, I took my car for an alignment, unfortunately my car needed urgent TLC they showed me what it was needed and were honest and recommended me some services ( the same dealership's recommendations) the only difference: the price !! The price Was so much less and fair. They fixed several issues In 1 day. Súper happy I went there I feel like I'm driving a new car.

I am absolutely outraged by the service I received today. I…read moredrove nearly 40 minutes in traffic and arrived exactly on time for my confirmed appointment, only to be told instantly that I would not be seen because a walk-in customer--who happened to be spending more money--would be taken first. Your staff openly stated that the other customer was spending around $800 while my Groupon appointment was "only about $40," and therefore I was effectively pushed aside and told to come back another day. Hearing this said so casually was astonishing. This behavior was not just unprofessional -- it was completely irrational. My service was a simple 15-minute oil change. Any business with even a basic understanding of operations would have completed the quick job first, kept both customers, and protected both profits. Instead, you chose the one option that shows a complete lack of logic and loses on every front. The decision-making displayed today was so fundamentally flawed that it raises serious concerns about the overall competence and standards of this shop. If such obvious, common-sense judgment is missing at the front desk, it is impossible to trust that more complicated work in the shop could be handled safely, responsibly, or intelligently. A company that cannot grasp the simplest priorities -- and makes choices that defy basic reasoning -- demonstrates an operational standard far below what any customer should ever have to tolerate. The absence of common sense today was so severe that it called into question whether this business should be trusted with anyone's vehicle at all. I will never return, and I will make sure others know exactly how this shop treats customers who arrive on time with confirmed appointments. What I experienced today was not an isolated mistake -- it was a shocking display of disrespect, terrible judgment, and a complete failure of professionalism.

Service/Professionalism: five stars Quality of Work: five…read morestars Ambiance: five stars Cost: five stars Finding a trustworthy and quality body shop is like finding a needle in a haystack. In Los Angeles, the driving capital of the world, there isn't a shortage of mechanics and body shops but not all are created equally. JoJo's Auto Body is top notch! My dad has been a client of Manar and JoJo's Auto Body for various projects and of course recommended him highly. My dad is of a certain generation where nothing less than perfection is acceptable, so I knew he'd done his due diligence. JoJo's had done some significant work on two of my parents' cars. Of course, then, I contact Manar. Unfortunately, parked right in front of our home, my driver's side view mirror was clipped by a passing car that had drifted. I happened to be inside the car and the car drifted right, hit the mirror and sped off. Immediately after, I contacted Manar. We scheduled an intake. He was punctual, professional, and transparent about options and cost. He provided me with the necessary information and I felt absolutely no pressure to make a decision immediately. He had one of his technicians tape up the remnants of the rear view mirror to cover it while we decided. A few weeks passed and we decided to have the entire mirror replaced. We asked Manar to let us know when the mirror would arrive and we could just come in and have it taken care of quickly. He contacted me on a Monday to say the mirror replacement was at the shop. We scheduled a time for me to take the car on Wednesday and within 35 minutes of arriving the work was done. In addition to his professionalism, quality of work, and honesty, Jojo's is a well managed and kept body shop. I mean no one really wants to sit around a body shop but if ever you need to, JoJo's is immaculate. There is plenty of parking, clear signage, and a welcome reception and office manager. Each visit I was asked if I needed anything to drink, including water or coffee. There is clear management signage about their policies and pricing No one ever wants to deal with body work but if you have to, please do yourself a favor and go to JoJo's Auto Body! It has quickly become our family go-to!

SECOND fantastic review from me for JoJo. Scratched the…read morepaint on my car again this year, and went to JoJo expecting I had to leave it for a few days. They fixed the damage in a matter of minutes and for a very reasonable fee! So reasonable, I felt the need to tip the artist, Nelson (I believe is his name). The scratch on the panel is gone and looks as good as new. NOW, I'M NOT an auto detail expert. But there are videos on YouTube that teach how to fix minor scratches yourself. HOWEVER why bother to learn, buy the tools/paint, and do the work, when you can leave the job to the experts for a much faster turn around and for a reasonable price?? Glad I went to JoJo again. Manar the owner and his crew are good people. Don't plan on scratching my car again, but if I do, these are my go-to guys. If you don't believe me, read all the other yelp reviews. Thanks again JoJo and crew.
