Brought my 2022 Mazda 3 in for a brake inspection due to a humming noise when lightly braking. Paid…read more$120 for the inspection. The technician's written assessment: "Brakes are 50% life." When I asked for specific measurements, he said all four pads are at 6mm. By industry standards, 6mm pads have 1.5-2 years of life remaining and do not need replacement. Despite this, the verbal recommendation was to replace all 4 pads and 2 rotors for $440. When I asked how long I could continue driving, the answer was vague: "1 to 5 months depending on driving style." The claim that "all four pads are at 6mm" doesn't make physical sense. Front brakes carry 60-70% of braking force and typically wear about twice as fast as rear brakes. On a 2022 Mazda 3 with 51,000 miles, front pads should be noticeably thinner than rear pads, about a 2-3mm difference is normal. "All around 6mm" would require front and rear to wear at the exact same rate, which contradicts basic vehicle physics. This makes me suspect the inspection wasn't actually performed with proper measurements. There's no indication the wheels were removed, and the technician offered the same number for all four positions when asked.

Worst service, bunch of dickhead, worst people ever to work with. AVOID THIS PLACE! The people are…read morethe worst, they were rude. To add more for context, when I came to this tire shop, I was looking to get a tire for my blown up tire and they suggested that they don't have the tire for my size and instead put on a bigger tire because ''' it's better than a flat tire '''' as a business owner I would not give my customers shit for a more shittier outcome. They know for sure that it's not right to put one bigger tire compared to the other three. They want to make quick bucks so then I can get my tire replaced somewhere else while I use it only for a short period of time to drive off and get it replaced. On top of that when I was getting towed, they were harassing the tow person and also putting cones where I would get my car towed claiming a public street their driveway. Even the Person towing me said that they are doing something illegal because public Street cannot be placed cones on since they don't own the street. Like I said, avoid this people at all cause they after your money they don't care about you. All they want is for them to benefit off of you. -Update on this: Just got a comment from the business owner saying that they suggested new tires and this is completely false because at that time when they said they didn't have it they said it's "better than a flat tire" the point I was getting at that time is that will give you this because you don't really have any choice. In addition, he is saying that they were blocking the cones simply for the customers when they weren't any customers at that time and we overheard you and your team talking in Spanish talking shit putting the cones in on purpose so that the towing company would have a harder time to pick my car up. This just come to show that since I didn't comply with buying the used tire that doesn't even fit. My car to begin with. You guys were being an asshole to make my life much harder. Technically, I am a customer and as a business owner just cause we couldn't come into agreement with me buying your bigger size tire doesn't mean you have to kick me out of the door. If he had good intent, he would actually would've let the towing company do their job so they could tell me somewhere else where they have the appropriate size tire.

The staff is very cordial and professional with superb customer service and their lobby waiting room is awesome very clean and they got an arcade section for you and the kiddos to play to pass the time. If that's not your thing you have very comfortable seating available while you wait. They have drinking water and cups if you are thirsty. Bathroom is available as well if needed. Today they did my routine trans drain and refill as well as trans filter replacement, first time at this location as it was in dire need. The price is very reasonable. They also pointed out a lot of other issues my car needed to address at a later time. They got me in and out in no time and I was able to get some other quotes on more jobs my vehicle needs. I will be back soon thanks guys for the awesome quality, value and work! Please contribute to this establishment and give them your business. Dependable, Reliable, Trustworthy service!

They quoted me the price along with a long list of other things. I was not prepared nor expected to pay to fix all these things (shocks, axle, control arm). Hm...Let me get a second opinion and compare the price. My brother advised me to go down the street to Advance Auto. I showed Randy (young owner) the pictures and he said I may not need to do all that, let's just do your brakes and rotor disc and I will look at all the others things mentioned and will let you know or call you. Pay a deposit, order the parts, come back tomorrow to get it repaired. I'm glad I got it done today. He used original Toyota parts for the brake pads and Japanese parts for rotor disc, no aftermarket. He test drove the car. He explained everything to me and said I don't need to replace the shocks just yet but I will soon. My car can still drive safely on road.

I've only spoken to John, so naturally I always look for him when I have car trouble, but I'm sure Bob has worked on my cars too. Both gentlemen are wonderfully nice, polite and respectful. In the last few weeks I've been coming in and out for several family cars. I know nothing about cars and John is aware. Haha So he's always giving me advice and helping me make the best decisions. For example, some parts don't need to be fixed immediately, so he'll tell me to wait. Also, some parts shouldn't be fixed because the car is too old and it's not worth it and so on... Furthermore, I was having muffler issues and John recommended Tony's Muffler And Radiator Service (8516 Garvey Ave, Rosemead, CA 91770). He even called them to let them know what I needed because another shop (East LA) tried to take advantage of me and I was feeling anxious. Moreover, the guys are precise and swift with repairs. One day I had to tow one of the cars to the shop. It was almost 5:30pm (closing time), but John jumped immediately at the car. Next day, around 10am he calls to tell me my car is ready to go. John's inherent good-heartedness and kindness is what I love about Armstrong. This directly reflects on their work ethic and how they handle each repair. Their labor costs are fair and for parts it really depends on the car/model. From my experience with the guys, I highly recommend them. Thank you John and Bob for taking care of me~ (December 2024) Since December 2022 I've had three cars that I've taken to Armstrong. The gentlemen, Bob and John, are dedicated to their craft. Their knowledge, experience and skills are exemplified through every diagnosis, repair and/or routine automotive maintenance. Their work ethic continues to be impeccable and I trust them completely with my car/s. One of the many things I love about Bob and John is that despite my limited knowledge they will thoroughly explain each dashboard warning light/issue/repair in depth and answer my questions genuinely. The work they've done for me so far includes suspension system, alternator, battery, battery terminals, engine coils, spark plugs, coolant reservoir, ECU, oil change, transmission fluid, tire rotation, engine/cabin filter, fluids (steering wheel, wiper fluid, brake fluid, coolant), tire pressure, headlights, transmission rebuild, sensors, radiator, engine mounts and brake pads. Thank you John and Bob for taking care of me~

I immediately looked up Yelp and delighted with the reviews and immediately took my mother's car to be serviced. After meeting with Bob, told him of my bad experience with the dealership he was extremely detailed and serviced her car at a fair price. The dealership performed the same service at the double the price and I honestly felt being female and during the pandemic I was not about to be traveling to various locations. I returned and he put a new timing belt in at half the price of the dealership quote! I am so happy to found Bob Li and John at Armstrong Auto Service. I highly recommend them and you will know you are being treated with honesty and respect!. 5+ stars! Great Job to Bob and John!!!
