From the beginning, John, the owner, and his son Jonathan were honest, knowledgeable, and straightforward with me. What I appreciated most was that they took the time to properly look into the problem instead of immediately telling me I needed the most expensive repair. They explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, kept me informed throughout the process, and got my Camaro repaired and back on the road. John and Jonathan genuinely seem to care about their customers and doing the job right. After all the stress I had been dealing with trying to get my car fixed, it was a huge relief finding a transmission shop I could trust. Great customer service, honest people, and quality work. I'll definitely be coming back to El Monte Transmission for any future transmission needs. Thank you John, Jonathan, and the whole team! Highly recommend!

He explained that the transmission was having trouble shifting into third gear and would eventually need to be rebuilt. He also provided an estimate for the repair. Since the car is older, I decided not to invest additional money in rebuilding the transmission. Even though I chose not to proceed with the service, John still took the time to explain my options and recommend what I should do next. He went above and beyond, especially considering that the diagnostic was free. I truly appreciate John's honesty, helpful recommendations, and excellent customer service. I highly recommend him.

My husband and I stopped by SGV Bimmer after a tire shop accidentally stripped the lug nut hole in…read moremy wheel hub. Every shop we contacted told us they couldn't fix it and that I'd need a whole new wheel hub assembly... except Clement at SGV Bimmer! Within FIVE minutes, he fixed what no other shop would even touch, topped off my fluids, and then told us, "No charge." We were honestly bewildered. It was our first time there! If that doesn't win our business, I don't know what would. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and they clearly know what they're doing. It's so refreshing to find a shop that's both knowledgeable and genuinely kind. We will absolutely be back for all of my Bimmy's future needs.

It's been two years since I had work done here on my 2020 g20. I had carbon fiber mirror caps,…read morepassenger side mirror motor replaced and front splitter installed here. They charged me $500 for this work. Originally it was $400 but I asked for the front splitter installed and that was another $100. I just felt like I was taking advantage off. To top it off the mirror caps wasn't installed correctly and I had another mechanic fix it. Anyways I found another mechanic that has been working on my car and wife's car that I fully trust. Not a rip off like this place. I didn't want to write this review but it's been nagging the hell out of me for how much I was charged for. He also suggested I should change my oil filter housing at 48k miles with no signs of coolant/oil leakages. Yes these are known to fail but no issues yet and I'm at 60k miles now. He said $1600 for OFH. My current mechanic can do for $1100 OE parts. My current mechanics has 8 lifts and are always busy, so no not some run of the mill shop that is low quality. Hope this helps someone out there. Edit: The owner sent me a fake invoice saying the job was $200. It was not $200. I was charged $500. I paid cash. Very petty man, now I'm super glad I posted this review.

I've been a loyal customer of Tire Central for over two decades (since the old Ford service…read morecompound/Las Tunas location days; always my go-to and nowhere else), but my recent experience with Donald has convinced me to take my business elsewhere. I had set of 4 tires dropped shipped directly from Tire Rack (just like the past installations) and wanted to have them mounted, balanced and aligned at Tire Central. I arrived before 8:30 last Saturday 10/3/26, expecting the doors to be open by 9AM and expecting to get the work done, only to discover that the shop was closed. I ended up waiting close to three hours, only to find out that Tire Central closes on alternate Saturdays. When I spoke to Donald in person earlier today Saturday 10/10/26 (suddenly already open before the 9AM official operation hours; erratic), I was particularly disappointed by his rude and dismissive manner. Rather than feeling like a long time, loyal customer deserving of basic courtesy and consideration, I felt as though I was an irritating nuisance. After more than two decades of patronage, that was an unpleasant way to be treated. Donald blamed Google, explaining on a phone call the week following the long 3hr Saturday opening wait, that he was unable to edit or update the business hours to reflect the alternate Saturday closures. He also pointed out that the correct operating hours were listed here on Yelp. However, not everyone checks Yelp for business hours. Many customers, myself included, rely on Google to find operating hours and plan their visits. Having accurate hours on one platform while the information on another is incorrect creates unnecessary confusion and wastes customer's valuable time. I also heard that the Hunter alignment technician was off-sick. I understand that unexpected staffing issues can happen, but customers deserve accurate information and reasonable communication before making a trip to the shop. After waiting for hours, I expected a more understanding and customer-oriented response. What disappointed me most was the apparent lack of consideration for my time and loyalty. I expected better communication, professionalism, and customer service I'd supported this local business for decades. This experience was the final straw. I've decided to take my business elsewhere. Decades of customer loyalty should count for something. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling that mine didn't.
