Honest Herbert is honest. He doesn't do unnecessary repairs. For example, Once I had a rattle whenever I started the car. He found a rock in the exhaust pipe and removed it. Body work I recently took my car in for some body work, The cost of the repairs was less than I expected. The car came back looking like new and the paint matched perfectly. Beautiful!

Herbert was a big help for me with getting my 2016 Honda accord touring fixed. I had taken it to…read moremultiple mechanics AND the dealer, and no one could tell me exactly what my issue was and just be straight with me. I had an emissions system issue that gave me the code 'P0139'. The first mechanic I took it to last year told me that it was a simple o2 sensor issue (rightfully so considering the code I was getting), yet when he replaced the sensor, the light continually came on. So he replaced it again, and replaced another o2 sensor on the vehicle (according to him). When none of that worked, he told me that my catalytic converter was faulty, and that I was going to have to pay roughly 8k for a new one. Safe to say I didn't believe him, nor did I stick around and simply take his word for it. I started making calls and, at first, genuinely believed that I was going to have to come up with the 8k by summer 2026 (when my smog inspection was due). I thought at one point I was sold a faulty vehicle too and even tried to receive compensation for the error. Turns out that wasn't the case, and even if it was, there wasn't much I could about it anymore. I took it to others who quoted me ridiculous prices for a simple diagnostic, I took it to others that just simply couldn't tell me what was wrong, and then to make things more confusing, the light would go on and off and would even go off long enough for me to pass smog!!! (Even though the first guy I went to said my catalytic converter was bad). Then, I looked online and found Master Tech. Great reviews, great location in the South Bay (Torrance), and fair pricing. Diagnostic was about 160, which would go toward repairs if needed, and if they couldn't find the issue I'd pay zero dollars! When I first got there, already Herbert pointed out things no mechanic pointed out before. I was told and under the impression that all my sensors were new and changed... they weren't. He also informed me that my vehicle was an American built one (not Japanese or Canadian, which I heard can make all the difference in quality). That's information that, although wasn't a huge concern, let me know that this guy paid attention to detail and really cared about what he was doing. He then told me to leave it with him later on in the week so he could give the vehicle TLC (tender love and care), and to be comfortable with not having my vehicle for a couple days (wasn't a problem at all). Eventually he gets back to me after a day and lets me know that the sensor had to be changed out with an oem one, as the previous mechanic put in an aftermarket one. On the day that I picked the car up and paid for the install, we both hopped in and took it for a ride, and the engine was running smooth like butter now. No more rich running (causing my gas to burn faster), and no more harsh shifting. He then hands me over the old sensor and informs me that I should go get my money back from the other mechanic. It turns out, the other guy was trying to screw me over (surprise, surprise!), whereas Herbert was honest and righteous. The piece the other mechanic put in was a Bosch sensor, made specifically for German made vehicles. Smh. It was for VOLKSWAGENS and the like ONLY. He was just trying to get me to pay him thousands, and perhaps allow me to further damage my engine and transmission from the issues he was forcing my vehicle to go thru for the time that it wasn't working properly due to a lazy, incompatible o2 sensor. I was relieved that I found Herbert who was able to help me and install the correct piece for a fair price (443 roughly, as opposed to the almost 700 dollars the dealer would've tried to charge me). I like his style, and he is definitely a righteous mechanic. Thank you bro!

Recently, I needed to replace the evaporator core and expansion valve for my A/C, and the dealership quoted me almost twice what JAC did. Since it was such an expensive repair, I decided to give JAC a try, and I'm so glad I did. The first thing that impressed me was the size of the shop. They have multiple service bays, not just in the main area but in another section as well. More importantly, the customer service was outstanding. Whenever I called with a question, Kevin didn't have someone else relay the information--he got on the phone himself and kept me updated every step of the way. When the replacement part they received turned out to be defective, they handled it quickly and made it right without any hassle. Another thing I really appreciated was the complimentary rides to and from my home while my car was being repaired. Maria and Mario were both incredibly kind. Maria mentioned she had recently joined JAC after working as a parts driver for another company, and she had nothing but positive things to say about the people there, which spoke volumes to me. Then, over the weekend, while driving to Orange County and finally enjoying my cold A/C, I started hearing a strange wind noise coming from my convertible top. I thought maybe a seal had come loose, but when I got home and looked under the car, I discovered my engine splash shield had torn loose and was scraping the road. I called JAS right away, and they immediately contacted the parts department, ordered the replacement, and took care of it quickly. I want to thank the entire team. From Kevin, Roger, and Dan to Maria and Mario, everyone I dealt with was professional, honest, and genuinely helpful. It's hard to find a repair shop you can trust, but I can honestly say I trust JAC. They may not give your vehicle a courtesy wash before you leave, but if you're saving $$ is it really worth it? If you're looking for a great place to have your vehicle serviced, I highly recommend giving them a try.

I was quoted prices for multiple services today, August 11, 2026, and unfortunately, it was not…read morejust one or two items that seemed overpriced. Everything I asked about was quoted significantly higher than what I would consider reasonable market pricing. I first contacted this business several months ago after my catalytic converter was stolen. I reached out to ask about pricing for protection for a new replacement catalytic converter that I would purchase myself. The protection they offered was extremely expensive compared with other options I had researched. I returned to the business for a second time today, August 11, 2026, for a different reason. I wanted them to visually inspect two old parts to determine their condition. One of the parts was leaking oil and the other was not. During our conversation, Ernie did explain that the best way to determine whether the parts were actually functioning properly would be to install them on the vehicle and test them. I ultimately decided not to have that testing performed because, after being told that one of the parts was leaking, I was no longer interested in purchasing the set of old parts at that point. More importantly, the pricing I received today was based on the services I was asking about rather than an inspection that established what work was actually necessary. For example, I was quoted $225 for an alignment. From my research and the prices I have found from other automotive shops, I can get an alignment for approximately $100-$150 elsewhere. At $225, that is simply not a price I am willing to pay. The disappointing part is that this was not an isolated incident. The first time I contacted this business, I felt the pricing was extremely high and overpriced. The second time, I had the same experience. After researching the cost of these services and comparing prices elsewhere, I found the quotes I received to be substantially higher than reasonable alternatives. I also left with the impression that I was being quoted higher prices because I am a woman and that the assumption was that I wouldn't know enough to question the prices. If that was the intention, it was a very poor assumption. I do my research, I know what services cost, and I am not going to agree to inflated pricing simply because someone assumes I won't know the difference. Being located in Redondo Beach does not justify charging excessively high prices. A local automotive business should be serving the community by providing fair, transparent, and reasonable pricing, not charging excessive prices simply because customers need automotive services. Another issue with excessively high pricing is that it ultimately puts the customer in a lose-lose situation. When a business quotes an unreasonable price, the customer has to spend additional time and energy researching other shops, making phone calls, getting additional quotes, and potentially traveling elsewhere to find a fair price. On the other hand, customers who do accept these prices may end up paying substantially more of their hard-earned money than necessary. That is one of the reasons I am taking the time to write this review. I want other people to be aware of my experience before they spend their own time and energy inquiring about services here. My recommendation is to get prices from multiple shops before agreeing to any work. Based on the prices I was quoted on both occasions, I personally would look elsewhere. I have no issue paying a fair price for quality work, but I do have an issue with being given prices that are substantially higher than reasonable alternatives. Because of these experiences, I would not return to this business for future services, and I would not recommend it to friends, family, or anyone looking for honest and reasonably priced automotive service. RESPONSE TO OWNER: Your response reinforces the reason for my review. You explained why your shop charges more, but that does not address my concern: the prices I was quoted were substantially higher than prices I found from other legitimate automotive shops for comparable services. You stated that your pricing is standardized and every customer receives the same quote. If so, this was not an isolated quote. Other customers can expect the same overpriced quotes. Regarding my comment about being a woman, I described my personal impression; I did not claim to have evidence proving discriminatory intent. I acknowledge your explanation. Your business is entitled to charge what it believes its services are worth, and customers are equally entitled to decide those prices are unreasonable and go elsewhere. I have no issue paying a fair price for quality work. I do have an issue paying substantially more than reasonable alternatives. EVEN THEN: Your mechanical team lacks integrity and consistently misdiagnoses or fails to fix the actual problem. I also find it noteworthy that your public Yelp response differs from the direct text response you sent me.
