A very refreshing experience. Very-good, fast service that solved our Jaguar problem. Alan figured it out and fixed it quickly. Best British-car service I have experienced in a long, long time. Highly recommend. read more

Stay Away!!!! PASADENA BRITISH HAS NO LICENSE TO OPERATE! SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE. Allen has kept my car for over 8 months and has refused to fix or give me my car back! He is a total A-hole. The Bureau of Automotive Repair told me he did the same thing and kept some guys car for 5 YEARS! He only cars about himself and he doesn't care about giving you your own car back! I am now going after him after 8 months. Try calling his office number..he does not answer nor does he have voicemail...it says voicemail full! He lies about when he will give you your car then just disappears. He is close to bankruptcy in my opinion and because he has major family issues he just doesn't care about anything or anyone. His shop really needs to just be shut down so that customers don't have to deal with him in essence "stealing" customers' cars by not communicating or giving them back. I got the police involved and they will be going again repeatedly until my vehicle is returned to me. Allen himself told me that he has tons of customers who want to sue him because he is not responding to them and not giving them their cars back just like me! Trust me YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO PASADENA BRITISH AND BE PUT IN HELL LIKE I AM! He truly only cares about himself! STAY AWAY!!! read more

Allan saved the day. He did a great job and saved me a lot of money. Very honest and good. Great place !!!

Alan is one of the most honest car repair and if you have an old Bentley or Rolls, I highly recommend that you take it to Alan. He is a great guy with lots of experence servicing these vehicles. Some vehicles are kept there a longer period because as I have heard that some of the owners have no money to pay for the repair and I can understand that. Sometimes, you have to pay before retrieving your vehicle from a repair place becasue they have a lien on it. read more

Horrible place!!! Do not take your car to this place. Cars parked all along the street getting dirty where anyone can do anything to them. Had a car there for over 5 months and nothing was done to it. Picked up the car but didn't get the parts we paid for. Owner said he knew nothing about the $9k worth of parts we gave him to fix the car. Called the police, now we have to go to court to get our parts. read more

Alan went above and beyond. Diagnosed an alternator problem and replaced it, along with my overdue-for-replacement battery. Furthermore, he held onto my car for me when a situation came up, and when I picked it up he brought it fresh from the wash. Pricing was more than fair for the level of service and his patience. Great guy to deal with. read more

Very nice guy. Spent close to 30 minutes with me on the phone diagnosing my issue and was able to point me in the right direction for a fix. Was really helpful and willing to help. I know my car is a bit of a barn find and appreciated him guiding me on the things I need to do by myself before it's ready to be helped by a professional at an affordable price to the customer. For me my money goes where I would be happy to have the owner of that establishment have it and this place falls into that category. Seems honest to me. read more

Alan is the best!!! I only trust my Bentley with him. Never oversells. Best place to get your British serviced!!!!! read more

Alan knows his classic cars! He always finds hard to get replacement parts and his charges are reasonable. It sometimes takes a while to get the car back because he has to search for parts that are not readily available. Very happy with his work! read more

Very rude and inconsiderate. They store many cars on nearby public streets, Mohawk and similar streets. The cars are stored for long periods of time, accumulating dust and parking tickets. Mohawk is full of dusty Rolls Royces. Rude and unprofessional! read more

Pasadena British Service - Car abandoned on Mohawk. Disgraceful. - Auto Repair Near Me - Pasadena, California

Honest, dependable, professional , and fair. I have been coming here for a couple of years now and the service is wonderful. Such a good fine for anybody who needs their Bentley serviced and serviced well. read more

Alan is the best! I love his honesty! I have been a customer of Pasadena British Service for a few years... I brought my car to PBS because the "Service Now" light came on (I drive a Bentley). Alan serviced it about a year ago. He asked how many miles I've driven since (about 2000), and he checked the oil level and oil color. He simply said that the oil looked as clean as new and did not recommend an oil change. He reset the "Service Now" light and simply said... "I'll see you in a year" I appreciate that honesty. He could have sold me an oil change, but instead knew that I really did not need one. Any other dealer would have tried to "sell" me something! I appreciate working with PBS and Alan and Claire! They are the best! read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I usually don't write reviews but for this place I def will. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO PASADENA BRITISH SERVICE. My car was here for over a month with the owner telling me my "parts" were going to be in soon. Which never came. I've tried to reach out to him and the business multiple times to check up on my car but they NEVER reply or pick up. They don't let you know the status of your car. I've texted the owner multiple times NO REPLY. Customer service is horrible. read more

Really lucky to find this place! Allen is 1 of the most knowledgeable mechanic when it comes to British cars. Very awnost and very nice guy. I take my Phantom here for service and you would forget that they charge as if it was a Toyota lol. The prices are very reasonable. read more

A few weeks ago, I visited Pasadena British Service to get some advice and information regarding purchasing a Bentley Continental GTC. I spoke to the owner Allen. He was very polite and professional. He answered all of my questions and eased my mind that I was making the right decision in purchasing one. Allen also told me that whenever I got the car, I can bring it to him and he would inspect it. Well, I just purchased one a few days ago and I took in for Allen to look at it. I left it overnight and he conducted a complete bumper to bumper inspection. Allen was thorough and patiently explained to me, what needed to be repaired and what was good. I was pleased with what he found. Needless to say, I will be taking my new purchase to Allen for service and any other recommended procedures. Allen is a British car guru and the love he has for these cars, shows in the customer service he provides. If you own a European car (Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Range Rover etc), I recommend you bring it to Pasadena British Service and let Allen work his magic on it. read more

Alan is fantastic! I have a 2007 Bentley GTC and I went in for a 30,000 mile service. His prices are very reasonable and he is very honest. He also fixed a seat problem that I had.., I believe it took several hours to diagnose but he only charged me an hour of labor! I also enjoyed working with Claire in his office. If you're looking for a service department that gets your car out in a few hours, go somewhere else. But if you're looking for s trustworthy, honest, and reasonably priced place to service your British car, take it to Alan and crew.... They will take great care of you! It may take a little longer, but it is definitely worth it!!! read more

British cars cost a fortune to buy. They cost even more to maintain. I'm glad british service is around to soften the blow. There prices are more than reasonable. Sure they don't give you a free loan car or a cappuccino. But you not paying for it like you do at the dealer. read more

Allan at Pasadena British Motors has always gone above and beyond customer service. I wish we could clone Allan. He always answers his phone and returns calls. He has driven out of town on a busy work day to get my car running. What other mechanic would do that for a customer. I highly recommend Allan. He is a great, knowledgable man. read more

First off let me say Allan is a very knowledgeable and always around to answer questions. I drilled him about my Bentley Continental GT while having an oil change done and he had no problems answering all my questions. This is a top notch place and will continue to use them for all my Bentley service needs. read more

I was referred to this repair shop by a dealership where I bought a vehicle last year. The shop promised me the vehicle would be repaired within 4-6 weeks and almost a year later the vehicle was not finished and the dealership where I purchased it did a 'REPO' on the vehicle. The repair shop has called me and threatened me verbally numerous times. I have IN WRITING again that the vehicle would be done a couple weeks ago, and soon after (conveniently) the vehicle did go through 'REPO' by the dealership WHO REFERRED ME to them! This is a poorly run business and please heed my warning and DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR VEHICLE! THEY ARE DISHONEST AND CONNIVING. CONSUMER BEWARE! read more

I have quite a few cars that are out of warranty and Alan takes care of all of them. It is very hard to read some of the things being said about him. I won't go on and on about how great he is or any referrals other than the people who have alrady done so..but I will say this..... You be the judge. You go in, ask for Alan, have him look at your car. If you don't want the work done or don't agree...walk away. If you do leave your car or make an appt, I find it hard to believe If you can walk away from him with some unflattering review.....I have a feeling you're not happy anywhere. He is the nicest and most reasonable auto tech out there... read more

Yes, dealer's have nice waiting rooms, free drinks, service advisors, but it is hard to drive out of those dealer shops, without a knot in my stomach & my wallet filleted like a catfish. So it is a real relief to have these guys to go to. Their card says factory trained, but more important, these gents are honest. You can trust them to tell you what you need. They're easy to talk to, know what they're doing & will give you a laugh too. I've even heard other mechanics call them for advice. This repair shop is obviously one of the areas best kept secrets. I'd urge them to add a coffee machine though. read more

I have never found better service from any auto mechanic. I highly recommend paying these guys a visit. You will literally pay half price compared to a dealer. I am not sure why there would be a bad review here. I am guessing Nic C had a vehicle with VERY hard to find parts. Thats the only thing that would delay these guys. I give Pasadena British a 6 Star rating! read more

I took my VW here based on two of my friends that have Bentley GTs. So I have heard about this shop and its owner for years. At first I sheepishly asked if he'd service my car thinking he would say no. But what a nice guy. It needed what you would expect at 90k miles. But when I got the bill...I was in shock...extermly reasonable. And I never let anyone but the dealer touch my cars...what a fool I've been all these years. read more

Pasadena British Service is simply the best. I was turned onto Pasadena British Service through a friend who also takes his exotic vehicles there. Allen is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable mechanics you'll ever have the pleasure of working with. read more

This place is no less than a gem. i had been servicing my car there for 3 years now and only have good things to say. My last service was a very major one include suspension work, service, tires, sensors etc. I left my car with Allan and Uber to LAX for a 2 weeks business trip. When I returned home a voice message from Allan was waiting on my cell saying my car is ready to pick up. When I arrived Allan greeted me with a smile and went trough all the things that he preformed to my car, he even fixed few minor issues that he didn't charge me for! the car was even washed from the outside! what a service! If you own a British car than you know all about the extra costs of owning one, but with Allan i really don't notice a big difference from owning regular car his prices are the best that i came across and to his work quality there is no competition around! save yourselves lots of time and money and take your precious luxury car to Allan to get serviced! you will not regret it, and your car will love you back for it! Thank you Allan! read more

Alan is the most resourceful and competent mechanics when it comes to Bentleys. The service I received from the Bentley dealer was lousy and overpriced. Allen is like a breath of fresh air I think everyone should have their Bentleys serviced by Alan. You will not regret it. Alan just fixed a problem that my local Bentley dealer was unable to fix for the last eight years Thank you Alan! read more

Alan and his techs are the best around for Bentley (and Rolls -Royce ) His experience and depth of knowledge on these fine motorcars is what sets him and the staff apart from all other service. Thanks for looking after mine! read more

Allan is the owner from "HELL" to put it lightly. I took my car to him for some repairs such as replacing the rear shocks, rebuilding the breaks, refurbishing some wood interior parts, and repairing a rough idle on a Rolls Royce. What I got was the shocks and breaks rebuilt, wood parts refurbished, the rough idle was not repaired and the radiator with a hole punctured in the middle face and water was spilling out when Allan finally drove my car up to the tow truck. When I delivered the car to him 17 MONTHS earlier. Thats right, it took Allan ONE YEAR AND FIVE MONTHS to repair my car and some of the repairs were not completed and I had to have the car towed from his shop. It gets worse, I made more than 15 trips to his shop, believe it or not, traveling a total of 70 miles per trip and every trip he stalled me or was damn right rude to me. I finally took the police there and demanded my car with no avail. The police found him hiding at the far end of his shop but he refused to give me my car. The police told me they can't force him to do the right thing, It's a civil matter they said. I had Consumer Affairs at his shop and they wrote up a report on him and it's something I will use against him in court. He told me every excuse you can imagine. Finally when he was supposedly ready to give me back my car he said he did not know how to type up the invoice and I would have to wait for his wife to do it. Well, this took several more trips demanding my car and a month later. He would only except a cashers check at this point. And when I had the check in hand, he was still hesitating to give up my car. It became obvious why when he told me the radiator had sprung a leak all of a sudden while it was sitting in his shop for more then a YEAR AND A HALF. I took the car to a repair shop and they identified the hole as being punctured by some kind of sharp object. It appears that some kind a tool at some point fell into the fan while the car was running and it knocked the tool into the radiator and punctured one of the vertical water flow vanes I took pictures of it to be use in court. I'm looking to recover all the interest payments I made on the car over all that time, all my travel expenses and the repair of the radiator amounting to over $10,000 not including all my aggravation and frustration. Thank God for the internet and Yelp so I can at least save other people from having to live through the same HELL I did. read more

Alan is a very gifted mechanic that can fix a problem others can't or won't. And he's more than fair on his pricing. He sorted out an electrical glitch on my bentley no else could figure. I would use his talents again in a heartbeat. read more

Alan is the most knowledgeable and talented car tech I've ever known. He has years of experience with British and European cars. He's equally good with classic, vintage and modern cars. Because of him as his recommendations, I have Jaguar and Rolls-Royce cars with the confidence to take them on the road. He's the best! read more

I bought a 1990 Rolls-Royce that I later found needed a lot of work because it had been standing and neglected. My usual shop does not work on Rolls-Royce and recommended Allan at Pasadena British Service telling me Allan had worked at the Rolls-Royce dealer in Pasadena before starting his own shop. When I visited his shop, there were numerous British cars and cars from other countries too. All the problems with my car Rolls-Royce were fixed at a reasonable price and in the time frame promised. I will be going back when my car needs to be serviced or repaired. I recommend this shop. read more
