    Second time I have came to this shop. And will come back if I have any car issues. They are very honest and hardworking mechanics who didn't give up on my car and went above and beyond to repair my car and take care of me as a customer! They gave me the best price in the area. Great value!

    Fast friendly service.. i was really in need of a good, honest mechanic who will change the coils and spark plugs without adding other unnecessary services and charges. And I guess I found the right one!

    Received great service from Sergio. I brought in my Kia Sorento 2020yr which he repaired the valve cover gasket. Got the job done right!

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience here. I brought my car in on October 6th 2025 for a…read morediagnostic knowing I needed an oil change and possibly had an oil leak. I paid $130 for what was supposed to be a full diagnostic.. a thorough report of issues found after inspection. Instead, I got a single vague paragraph on paper (quote 1) summarizing $2,000+ in repairs with no itemized breakdown. I asked for photos, and they showed me pictures of my engine filters (note you have to get pass air ducts for this). Later that day I requested an itemized quote and suddenly the total dropped by nearly $1,000. Some of the issues just disappeared from the quote. That was my first red flag. How does a "diagnosis" of the same car change that drastically within hours? What did I pay $130 for if not an accurate inspection and record of the car's condition? I decided to check things myself. I ordered my own cabin, engine, and oil filters online for around $35 total (they quoted $180). I replaced the cabin filter in five minutes. Then I went to replace the engine air filter and immediately saw two large tears in both air intake ducts ... the hoses that deliver air into the engine (pre-filter at least). But both were completely ripped. This was never mentioned in either diagnostic, quote 1 or 2 despite being obvious... I paid $130 for them to "inspect" my car, and they missed something anyone could see under the hood? That's not just sloppy... it's negligent. And since accessing the engine filter requires moving those ducts, they had to have seen it. So, recap: I paid $130 for a diagnostic that missed two gaping holes in the air intake ducts something front and center. If I hadn't checked, I'd still be driving with this glaring issue. It's hard not to wonder if I was brushed off because I'm a woman. Im not the type to take someone's word without checking. This felt either lazy or deliberately dishonest. Fast forward to October 11, I came back for what I assumed would be a simple oil change. I'd already paid $130 for the lacking diagnostic, I believe I was informed with my initial quote that would go towards other services. Nope. They charged another $160. But I didn't have the energy to argue and I was planning to bring up the ducts. No one mentioned them... not even when I asked if there were any other issues. So I walked outside opened the hood pointed at the ripped hose and asked "What's this, and why wasn't it in my diagnostic?" The man looks me dead in the eye and says, "Oh, that's not really a big deal... most people don't fix that." Excuse me? I paid for a diagnosis and someone decided this shouldn't be included. Make it make sense. After pressing, he admits it should be replaced... something I already knew since I'd ordered both ducts for $30 online. Then he gives me a verbal quote of $55. I ask him to print it (because I'm not doing he said she said). He writes it up adding "no labor charge" like he's doing me a favor. I already had both parts sitting in my car. When I got home, I realized the quote was for one side the one I'd pointed at. Both were torn. At this point, I've lost all trust in this location. They're not transparent, not thorough, and the way they handled my situation was insulting. I hoped I could trust them with my car, but instead I learned a hard lesson. I'll now personally verify every service I pay for. If you rely on shops for maintenance.. open your hood. Watch a few videos. Understand what's being done before paying the "convenience" premium. Many of these fixes are simple and inexpensive. TL;DR: - Paid $130 for a "diagnostic" that missed two huge air duct tears. - Received inconsistent quotes -- price dropped $1,000 after asking for details. - No transparency or accountability. - Dismissive attitude when confronted. - Trust broken. Would not return.

PS: the review page here is not allowing me to check the "value" tab as well as the Quality tab. His pricing is very fair! And the work and customer service is truly 5-star!!

    I've lived in LA for over 16 years and have tried more auto shops than I can count--dealerships,…read morechains, and small independents--for everything from oil changes to major repairs. Larsen Automotive is the first place that made me stop looking. What sets Larsen apart is the rare combination of trust, fair pricing, and genuinely great service. They explain what's going on with your car in plain language, break down what's urgent versus what can wait, and never make you feel pressured. Their prices are very reasonable--especially compared to the dealerships I've used--and the quality of their work has been consistently excellent. You can tell this is a family business with a real legacy, not just a volume-driven operation. There's a welcoming, community feel when you walk in, and they clearly take pride in their reputation in Culver City and West LA. Both of my cars now only go to Larsen, and I recommend them to anyone who asks. If you're looking for a trustworthy, long-term shop instead of rolling the dice every time something goes wrong, this is the place.

    This auto shop is truly one of a kind--and I say that sincerely. I've been a professional driver…read morefor over 15 years, which means I've owned and maintained a new vehicle every two to three years. Over that time, I've been to just about every auto body shop, general mechanic, and tire shop on the Westside and across greater Los Angeles. Some places offered okay service, others were unreliable or downright sketchy, and a few did good work but took way too long to return my car--even for simple jobs. As a driver, that downtime directly affects my income. Larsen Automotive was completely different. From the start, the staff treated me like family. Pricing was fair and transparent, communication was clear, and they kept me updated throughout the entire process. Most importantly, the turnaround time was excellent, which really matters when your vehicle is your livelihood. I could say more, but I'll keep it simple: A+ service A+ staff A+ pricing for the area A+ turnaround time Highly recommended. I will DEFINITELY be back.

I recently brought my Honda in when my engine was malfunctioning. They took the time to thoroughly check everything out. Unfortunately ended up finding that the engine was done for (very old car) and it made more sense to get a new car for me personally, but they ended up not charging me for the diagnostic. Really appreciated that and think it spoke volumes about their integrity. Enrique specifically made a stressful situation so much easier. I'll absolutely be recommending them to others and would go back in the future without hesitation.

After researching shops in West LA (reviews, convenience, and reputation), I chose Cook's Tires & Service and I'm really glad I did. They handled major work including the 90K service, gasket replacements, new tires, and a starter (plus other items along the way). Enrique and the crew were excellent: honest, straightforward, and easy to work with. Pricing was more than fair, and the service quality was solid from start to finish. Highly recommend Cook's Tires & Service if you want a shop you can actually trust.
