Spot 28 has been servicing and repairing my last 5 cars. The owner, Warren is the most honest and knowledgeable person I have encountered! This man has people who drive down from Northern CA for him to work on their cars. I would never buy a new or used car without first asking his opinion and having him check out the car first. Never have to worry about purchasing something your car does not need when you bring your car to Spot 28. I have been coming here for decades. read more

Well, what can I say, been coming here for over 10 years now. New Charger and not much done on it until recently. Asked Warren to lower the Charger, he agreed with no hesitation, I told him the videos looked easy..... Several hours into the install with Eibach Springs, front were not too bad, rears were a pain in the butt. Warren was calm about the situation but I can tell he was getting frustrated as we came upon issues and more issues. He persevered and completely the job in a professional manner as usual. I think most ppl after the third hour would have cracked. Warren is the man! Car looks great. read more

I have been so overdue in writing my review for spot 28. Let me tell you the mechanic warren is the best out there. My friend recommened spot 28. I am definitly became one of his loyal followers. I live in LA, and I still trek all the way out to arcadia. Even to get my oil change i still go drive 40min to an 1hr just to get it done by him. They go the extra mile and step for their clients. I trust him compleletly with my car, and he uses the best parts for ur car and charges the least and most honest amount. Even my dad, who used to own a mechanic shop has always been wary of any place i go to, and a lot of the mechanics are dishonest, but he thinks warren is totally honest and a stand up guy. Warren is reliable and the best out there. Ive been a loyal customer now and will keep continuing to go to him for all my car needs. He even opens up on a sunday when hes closed, because i had no other day free. I highly recommend warren--and u will not regret it. He will be the savior for all ur car needs. read more

I have had a really poor history with cars. Ten years ago I took my car to a place in Pasadena to get the window fixed because it wouldn't roll down. 3 hours later I get a call from a friend that was at the automotive place who told me that my car had been decimated by a runaway cement truck that careened down a side street, smashed into a car in the intersection and then spun into my car in the lot. Yep, that's some bad luck. I've been taken advantage of a number of times from shady mechanics and had my funds drained by smooth talking, coffee & doughnut laden auto dealerships that promise everything but deliver minimally. I've been everywhere and have not been adequately satisfied by any. After moving back to the Pasadena area earlier this year I needed to find a reliable place to take my car for service. A friend referred me to Warren at Spot 28 Auto. Warren is an honest and meticulous mechanic who wants you to know that your car is being cared for in the best way possible. He instructed me in some of the basics of auto maintenance (oil changing, visual inspection of parts) so I knew I wasn't getting taken advantage of but also made me aware of how I needed to maintain my car in the best way possible. After doing some minor service, Warren told me he would give me a call in a couple of days to see how the car was running. Warren also drew out future maintenance plans I would have to look at and advised me how best to handle them. The guy really cares about his work and everything that he does shows his integrity. Spot 28 Auto is the best automotive place I have ever been to. Best prices, quality service, and detail oriented!! Can't find a better place than this! read more

I stopped by Spot 28 when I found my back right tire was flat. This was my first time here, and to be honest I was a bit nervous because I'm not good at all with cars and I haven't really had too much experience with going to auto shops by myself. Warren was more than friendly and immediately put me at ease! He helped me replace my tire with the spare I had in my trunk (after pointing out the nail) and taught me a few things about tire pressure and how to take better care of my car. These are skills I will take with me! And in the end, he didn't charge me for helping to change my tire. This is a shop where you will find compassionate AND quality service, and where you will learn a thing or two that you won't find at other auto shops. You can definitely put your faith and trust in Spot 28. You and your car will definitely be taken care of. read more

I do not trust anyone else with my car besides Warren. I've had him service my current new car since day one and old car which stayed in excellent shape for years and I wouldn't have it any other way. He pays attention to details and does not ripe me off. He is honest. What I love best about having Warren serve my car is that he always follows up with a phone call to see how my car is doing even if it's something as simple as an oil change. On top of that, I always have a good old time hanging around his shop talking to him or his customers. Everything about Spot 28 feels like family. Warren goes above and beyond to meet his customer's needs. I wouldnt go anywhere to service my car and now I have my boyfriend, friends and family members coming to him. Thank you Warren! 5+stars for you! read more

My man Warren took care of my brakes.

My Honda has almost 400,000 miles on it and is 17y.o. I have traveled all over and outside of the U.S. with this car and it has been seen by a lot of mechanics. Warren is the first mechanic that has taken the time to explain and show to me exactly what is going on. He will actually show you the part in your car, and what it is supposed to look like. I really appreciate his honesty and dedication to making it right. This is not a quick in&out process. You have to be prepared to invest the time to understand what it going on with your vehicle. But when you drive out, you will be confident in how your car is running and what is going to happen next. He's like the Mike Holmes of Hondas! (He also works on other, fancier cars, but it sounded good.) Take your car here if you care about your ride and are willing to take the time to get it fixed right. Thanks Warren! read more

It's tough finding an honest mechanic, especially in LA. That's why I've been taking my previous car, an old 2000 Camry, and now my new Prius to Warren. He knows what he's doing! What really sets him apart from other mechanics I've been to, is the fact that he seriously wants to take care of your car; like a good doctor to your physical health. He keeps track of your car's history and driving habits as you bring the car in every time, and even uses genuine Toyota parts - not some cheap knockoff replacement items! It's nice to know that he's willing to explain what he does to your car, and what you need to do to help maintain it in between maintenances/oil changes so that you don't mess your car up. Even my dad (who is very skeptical by nature) was even impressed by Warren's keen eye so much that he brought his car to Spot 28. That's quite a feat for someone like my dad, I tell you!! read more

My 2005 GTO was making a bad knocking sound in the engine area. Warren looked at it and I feared the worst. "You need a fan belt and a tensioner bearing." It was a small repair for a very expensive sound. No BS just honesty and quality work. read more

Taking my car to Warren is like taking my car to a dealership, except in addition to peace of mind, I get individualized service and unbeatable prices. Warren remembers everything he does and is like a family doctor for your car. Recently I heard a squeak in my car engine. I called up Warren, and the next day, he isolates the sound and fixes it within a few minutes of me bringing the car in. How's that for expertise? Once you're his client, you're like family. If only more local businesses were like this! read more

Spot 28 is operated by Warren who is an esteemed Corvette technician in the general LA area. He is one of the top four Corvette technicians in southern California.

His thoroughness and knowledge are applied to many other types of cars and car brands. He will get you the very best parts and then he will install the best parts properly. Further, he will explain exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it. He will develop a plan with you on how to best maintain your car. He is the best there is. read more

Been going to Warren for 6 years and he cares more about our cars more than we even care about our own cars. He does a thorough job, ALWAYS. He identifies problems and comes up with cost-effective solutions. He keeps us in the loop about what needs to be done, what he is doing, and the progress reports in between. Nobody else will EVER give you that much detail. He is the only person who sees our cars, or that we allow to look. read more

Warren takes very good care of our Lexus! He is honest, helpful and very professional He takes the time to work on our cars, and he is detailed oriented. I have to admit that he has one of the cleanest shop I have ever seen! He has never ever over charge us, in fact, his pricing is very fair and reasonable, and he only puts the best quality parts in our cars, not just the regular 'industry standards" version. If you are shopping for a professional mechanic who takes a lot of pride in his work, you might want to consider Warren :) read more

This is a great place to bring your vehicle. I don't think i can trust anyone else with my car after i came here. Warren is amazing. Hes flexible and works around your schedule. I had my brakes done late at night, because that when i get off from work and i needed to get them done fast. he was able to help me out even though most shop would be closed at that time. He showed me everything i needed to know and where was the problem coming from. He even follows up with a phone call to see how it was running. He want to make sure that your are is up to his standards. Pep boys don't do that!! I think one of the main concerns about auto repair shops is if you are going to get ripped off. I've been ripped off a number of times from mechanics. Warren is VERY HONEST and TRUSTWORTHY. I do not trust anyone else with my car. When i say he honest I mean hes honest!! He gives great inspections and gives you great advice. Super Knowledge able. Will answer any question you may have. He will tell you the truth and not just what you want to hear. read more

Warren is highly recommended and an amazing mechanic . I took my car (Honda Civic 2009) in for an oil change and he was very informative about what he was doing , also i was able to see what he was doing to my car. When he was done, he had told me to come back every 1000miles to see if there is anything wrong with the oil, if its too dark or anything. He's very specific about what he does or says about the car. He will answer any questions that you have and is very clear about it. read more

My husband has been going to Warren for years and will never change because the quality of Warren's service. He always goes above and beyond for the simplest task. Warren is very professional and always provides a comprehensive explanation for all repairs. He really is a car doctor. Don't go any where else to fix your car. read more

Warren was recommended by a person I've known for awhile, and I have to say Warren's automotive expertise and knowledge are top notch! I brought my Acura to him thinking I had to replace both CV boots since an Acura dealership's service center recommended it, but he was able to diagnose that the CV boots are still in OK condition and don't have to be replace immediately. Thanks to him, I didn't have to spend $$$ at the dealer. Plus, I told him there was a noise coming from the car; he knew automatically that the exhaust brackets were loose. It didn't take him long to tighten them, too. Very satisfied...thanks Warren! read more

I've been coming to Warren for years. He is very professional, knows his stuff and on top of that, he always has great stories. You wouldn't get better service at any stealership. I live in the Inland Empire, and I'd drive twice as far to Spot 28, because I feel secure whenever Warren checks out my car. Finding a trustworthy technician is very hard to come by, so I'm happy I've found one! I'll be turning to Warren for many years to come. read more

I have had nothing but awsome experiences with Warren since bringing my car to this location earlier this year and I send everyone I can this way. Extremely detailed service, and accurate logging. Thank you Warren. read more

I took my Corvette down for some warranty work since I don't trust the stealerships (Dealership) as far as I can throw them. I've heard about the work that Warren at Spot 28 does but wow I never expected so much. Not only did he fix my car in record time but did a once over on the car too. He walked me thru everything he did and took so much care and pride in his work it was astonishing. I normally do the work myself but since the car is under warranty they won't let me work on it, but not to worry since now I have Warren. His skills and follow thru are so awesome even the warranty people are impressed. If you need work done to you car from someone you can trust fear not since Warren is there he will take care of you fully. So the most important line here is Spot 28 is the shop to go to for amazing work, great prices and most of all customer care. read more

Warren is an awesome auto mechanic.

After years of taking my Honda to the dealer for regular maintenance, I was introduced to Warren and have not taken my car back to the dealer since. Never again will I take my car in for them to drive it out of sight for four hours, and do who knows to it. One time I'm sure they didn't even open the hood, but back to Warren... Warren is so good to his clients, and actually shows you what he is doing. You can stay there with him every step of the way if you want, and he'll even show you how to do some things yourself. Warren also itemizes exactly what services he is charging you for, and is honest about what you do need and what you do not need (that the dealer is often trying to sell you). Did I mention that Warren is good to his clients? One time he went out of his way to meet me in the Valley when I thought my car was having problems. Try to find a dealer who would do that! Thank you Warren! read more

As I've said in the past, Warren is an honest person and a very knowledgable mechanic. I've been one of his original clients from when he was at his original place and I come back because of his skill and professionalism. He's one in a million when it comes to mechanics and I recommend him to anyone who may have been deceived or over charged in the past. Great guy and great location, now that he's so close to my family and I. read more

I've know Warren for about 30 years now and have been going to him from my 1976 Datsun B210, 1989 Hondra CRX, 1990 Honda Civic, 2003 Tacoma S-Runner and my wife's 2009 Rav4. Warren has remained consistent with his work and professionalism. People who go to him know he is meticulous and will tell you more about what he did to your vehicle than you probably care to know. He always shows me the old parts and explains everything he does. I do most of my own work and go to him for the difficult stuff and he has always come through. Recently he just did a water pump, thermostat, serpentine belt and radiator drain/refill on my wife's 2009 Rav4. Excellent job to say the least. Warren is always honest, sometimes to a fault. I want him to do a major job on my 2006 Tundra but, he turned me down. He doesn't feel comfortable with what I want done and doesn't want to experiment with my Tundra, even though I told him I'm comfortable with him doing that and trust his instincts. I practically begged him and he still would not do it. Now I have to search for someone else to trust working on the Tundra, not easy. Thanks Warren. LOL That shows his character. Many other places/mechanics would lie and take the job because they know they will be making a lot of money and have no idea what they're doing. Thanks for many years of service, Warren. Looking forward to many more years! read more

I cant say enough great things about Warren and Spot 28. Warren is very pleasant and polite to deal with. He explains everything so your really understand what is going on with your car. When i first came to his shop another mechanic at a different place told me I needed new brakes, so I was fully prepared to shell out the cash, but Warren assured me that my brakes were fine! Which saved me some money, I really appreciated his honesty. Warren is sooo into what he does, he is amazing, best I have ever found and would never go anywhere else! read more

I have been coming to Warren for years for my car and I have never regretted it. Warren has years of experience and he is a person you know you can trust right away once you meet him. The service is always excellent and efficient. The best part is the courtesy call you get from him a couple of days after the work is completed, no one does that anymore. With experience you can trust and service that will never disappoint, Spot 28 is the best way to go. Go to spot 28 say hi to Warren, and make the best decision for your car. read more

Warren is the most knowledgeable and thorough mechanic I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. He put my car on the lift and showed me the cracks in my 2004 Honda Civic engine mounts before fixing them for a very reasonable price. I knew exactly what I was getting for the the price I paid, and even learned a thing or two about my car. Highly recommended. read more

Spot 28 will cover all your auto needs in the San Gabriel Valley. The owner Warren's work and business approach can not be matched. This is not your typical shop and Warren gives beneficial information that lasts a lifetime. You will leave satisfied and well informed about your car. I highly recommend Spot 28 to anyone looking to maintain, fix, and/or service their car. read more
