Brought my late father's truck in to have it inspected since my son was interested in purchasing. Dad had gone here since the 90's! I received straight answers and great recommendations for what was needed on the truck. Shout out to Steve and Austin. read more

Our experience was as easy as could be! I called and spoke to Austin and explained that I was getting my jeep towed to the shop because it wasn't starting. I gave him my warranty info and he basically took it from there. He confirmed what was covered, gave me a realistic timeframe and even followed up the next day to let me know when to expect my jeep to be ready for pick up. That's pretty unheard of for a shop, I truly appreciated the follow up. I was planning to call in the afternoon but he beat me to it in the morning. My car breaking down was a huge bummer but to at least have a smooth and easy experience getting it fixed was a really big deal. I highly commend Austin's customer service and will definitely recommend this shop to friends and family! read more

I have lived in Downey for almost 20 years and I have always heard great things about this shop. I finally ran into a problem where I needed a real mechanic and Steven Luzzi Automotive was the first place I thought of because of all the high praise on here and FB. After dropping my car so they can diagnose it last week, I was on the phone with a friend who told me they use Steven for their vehicles and were always happy with their work and service. I can attest that their service and work is fantastic. Austin was was polite and helpful when I called the day before and when I dropped off my car. I was kept to date and they replaced my radiator same day. I am definitely will be going back. I finally found a local shop I can trust. read more

Friendly honest local car repair. Good work and value Been going there since he started Steve is great and his son Austin works there read more

It has been several years since my last review, but 20+ years later we are still going to Steven Luzzi Automotive! This is a family run business in the center of Downey and their work is 2nd to none. I have since bought a Tesla to add to my cars and although there isn't a lot of servicing needed, I have had tire trouble and tire replacement that has been necessary and I only let them handle because they are fast and fair! Their shop is spotless, which tells you right off that they don't screw around, they aren't sloppy and thus they are efficient and meticulous! I appreciate them and all they do. If you love your car (or your hard earned savings), put it in caring hands... read more

I was looking for a spot that i can take my car to get serviced, I found Luzzi's and I have been here a few times, let me just say they've never disappointed. The team is honest, reliable, and always communicates clearly about what's going on with my car. I bring my car and my wife's here now.The work is top-notch, and they never try to upsell anything unnecessary. It's rare to find a place you can truly trust 100% highly recommend! read more

Yes car has lots of problems. Yes it should have been taken to a professional technician right away. But out of work, and having financial problems, I tried to do repairs myself. Spoke to Steve and I was willing to pay whatever it took to get my car working again, but to be so dismissive and say that you're too busy to waste your time on a car like that is unprofessional. It's your shop, I get you don't want to take on the work, and you can say what you please. I'll exercise my option to review my interaction with the shop. Maybe you do great work, but that's not what I'm reviewing. read more

Most honest and reliable mechanic! OEM parts and labor beats the dealer all day long! read more

Steve and Austin are attentive,respectful and transparent on prices and labor needs. My wife and her immediate family take their cars for all automotive repairs read more

If I could give more stars I would! Very professional! Very knowledgeable and extremely honest! Helped me out with my vehicle and was even honest enough to tell me he didn't think it was worth doing the job. A lot of places would have just tried to get the sale. Will definitely be coming back and recommending to all family and friends. Keep up the good work guys! read more

came in to get my struts & engine mount replaced. turnaround time was 3 hours after they got the parts in. These guys are super easy to work with and responsive at all times! Was covered under warranty and they were able to get an approval super quick! definitely coming back when i need more work done. could not be happier! thanks read more

Initially came in for a diagnosis since I had tried a few things in my own but didn't work. They are very professional and friendly. Found out my car needed a new catalytic converter after leaving my car for them to check out. They called and gave me options and pricing if I wanted them to fix it, which I thought was fair and reasonable. They gave me the option to take my car and return once they had my part or leave it for the next day. Opted to leave my car, the next day in the morning got a call and picked up my car in good condition. I wanted to wait until I went to smog check and drove the car a little until I wrote my review and happy to say my car passed the smog check and has been running great. Overall very happy with the service and pricing. read more

I can't even begin to describe how amazing these guys are! As a woman, you're always nervous going to the mechanic but these guys are so helpful and honest. This is my new go to place!! Great job guys read more

Highly recommend, very professional, great communication, excellent knowledge and very clean and organized Downey location.

These guys receive five stars because they are stand up fellas. First, I noticed when my wife would bring her suv there for service, it was the cleanest shop I have seen. That signals they care. I brought my specialty car in for a brake and rotor replacement. Even though we had some issues getting it right, there was never any question about the validity of the issue. All is well and resolved and they did a great job. Previously, they recommended I go to the dealer when a tensioner belt needed replacement as they knew this should be covered under warranty. They could have just taken the job. They look out for their customers. read more

I have been going to Steve's for about 20 years. I am single and have always been treated great and repairs done quickly, always explaining fully what is being done and prices. Never any pressure to decide on services. I have a Saturn which can sometimes be difficult to find parts but they always seem to find them. I feel like we are family after so long and always recommend the shop to my friends. It is hard to find a honest and trustworthy mechanic, Steve and employees are the best! Very professional clean shop. read more

Not your local trustworthy mechanic! I recently took my Kia Rio in for a check engine light. Mr Luzzi was quick to help and told me they would check out. After dropping off the car in the morning, I received a call from them in the afternoon and told me that my car was ready. When I picked up the car Mr Luzzi told me that the cost was $350 and they had to replace one 02 sensor (car has two). He also said that based on the obd2 code, it could also be a bad catalytic converter. After leaving the shop, I felt that he over charged me. After doing my own research, Autozone sells 02 sensors for $50, so Luzzi's labor charge is about $150/hr and he charged me for 2 hours for a 15 minute job. 2 weeks later, the check engine light turn back on. I ended up fixing the check engine light issue myself by buying a OBD2 device from Amazon for $30 and replacing the 2nd 02 sensor for $50 at Amazon and the 2nd 02 sensor at Autozone for $40 =total cost $80. So if you have a check engine light on, go to Autozone first and use a OBD reader for free. Some issues are simple fixes, otherwise, go to a mechanic you know you can trust. read more

Love these guys, professional, easy to deal with, friendly and it feels good supporting a great, local, small business. Give these guys a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Austin just straight lied to me on the phone twice. Swore he could have the battery for my car by end of day. Here I am waiting for it to maybe be delivered, if they can find one. I am stranded here with these lying assh*lies! So after speaking with the owner and parent of Austin I received a decent discount and profuse apologies. If I were to deal with this place again I would steer clear of Austin! Besides sweeping up they let him answer phones. read more

I found the best repair shop!!! They do not over sell and they fix it right the first time!!! read more

I pulled into Steven Luzzi Automotive & parked my van. Steven got to me quickly before I could open the door. Steven says, Can I help you. I gave him a list of things to fix: Transmission fluid change, transmission gasket, valve cover gaskets, tune up, air filter replaced, radiator flush & Mobile one full synthetic oil change & filter. I received a carefully figured price and the sum was fair priced & I accepted. I mentioned to Steven, keep the van for as long as you need to, no rush. He said with experience, should be ready by days end. The shop stalls were clean & in order, I felt very confident about mechanics & their abilities. Steven began ordering parts right away. I discovered this auto shop carefully on "Yelp". Did great work, very pleased with the work. Will bring back my van in two weeks for a "well check". He' got my business needs for another time. read more

You will not be disappointed! read more

I've been going to Steve for the past two years. He has done some big jobs for me including a full break job and replacing the engine on my 12 year old Nissan. I tried giving his shop a good long opportunity to resolve the mechanical issues and see THEM take care/stand behind their service/product choices. That has not been the result. So it's been less than one year and 12k miles that the used engine Steve recommended is giving me problems. Now this is a used engine that "most" likely has 50k miles. The engine which I paid close to $6k with labor is burning oil, has a noisy valve train, and a check engine light. Just before my oil change was due the engine oil was down two quarts. I tried talking to Steve about helping me out with the engine issues but all I get is more dollar signs ($$$). He's very difficult to talk to and is "always busy" and in a rush. Definitely not something I want to deal with every time I need a "simple" oil change. Last oil change I had was worth a whopping $750. I'm starting to get the feeling this place likes to start with the most expensive repair and go from there. This has been my experience with this shop. I would've preferred writing a five star review with nothing but praises. read more

Great service! Very friendly and offers reasonable prices for the services. Nice to have a local car auto shop.

Best tire shop , oil change in town Great service and super friendly Steve is a class act read more

Just as John says, these Guys at Steven Luzzi Automotive are the Best! I always bring my Girlfriends Cars to him, and I also live in Long Beach but have no problems driving to Downey and enjoy Steve's Services. He saved us a bundle of Money. Very Professional and highly recommended! read more

When you find a mechanic you can trust, I believe you stick with him. And Steve Luzzi is my guy. Pros: 1.) Honesty. Steve runs a reputable shop and he won't try to sell you unnecessary repairs. 2.) Straight shooters. While they'll let you know what services your car would benefit from, they won't make things sound more urgent than necessary. 3.) Good work. My car always runs like a champ after leaving their yard. 4.) Shuttle service. They have a driver to shuttle you to work or home, and then pick you up again. (Don't be too proud to ask.) Cons: 1.) Price. They're not the cheapest place in town, but in all honesty their prices are fair. I've found that when it comes to auto repair, you usually get what you pay for. read more

If you are searching for an honest mechanic with integrity you found them at Steve Luzzi. As a single female I am confident and relieved to have someone to depend on to help maintain my older car. Auto repair is no longer a nightmare. Thank you to Steve and his entire staff!! read more

went there for a check engine light and told me it's airflow sensor paid $318 dollars . three days latter same problem. cannot take back due work issue! now what do I do? recommend people to not go there! read more

I started taking my car to Steve years ago when a friend from work recommended him. Steve has been my mechanic of choice ever since. He runs a good shop and I have found him to be reliable and genuinely helpful. He has always done what he said he would do and hasn't recommended unnecessary work. When my car was in a fender bender recently, Steve took a look at it (while he was doing something else) and assured me everything was okay. No extra charge! My daughter takes her car to Steve, as do many of my friends. In the same way that our family is a "Honda" family, we are a "Steven Luzzi Automotive" family. read more

I was referred to this auto repair shop by my dad about 10 years ago and I am extremely pleased with them, my expectations have always been exceded. Steven Luzzi is the BEST! I have always been treated excellent from the moment I started taking my vehicles there, Steve explains the work that has to be done and always gives an excellent price. They work fast and never have "surprise fees" at the end of the job, also Steve always keeps me updated on how the job is going. I highly recommend Steven Luzzi Automotive to anyone, it is worth the drive even if you are out of the area. I'm very satisfied once again with the recent work done on my vehicle and I am always treated with professionalism. Give this auto repair shop a call. read more

My family has been bringing our cars to Steven Luzzi Automotive since the mid-1990's and we've never looked back. They're trustworthy, do excellent work for a fair price, and never try to upsell you on extra services like most places do. Having only moved back to Downey just over 2 years ago, I couldn't be happier with bringing my cars back to their shop. I've been to countless auto repair shops all over the country and nothing comes close to this place. Steven Luzzi will always have my business and I highly recommend it anyone. read more

I absolutely love this place. Steve and his son are always so nice and informative. I had an old car that Steve helped me keep for a long time. If something started to look bad he would warn me so the next time I saw him I would have to fix it. Him doing that helped me tremendously and I was able to set money aside and it kept running for years until someone crashed into me and totaled it. I now take my new car to him. Very trustworthy and all around great service!! Highly recommend this place!! read more

I thought this place was honest and trustworthy until I took my sons car there. After being told that I should pay $600.00 for repairs that the car was worth repairing. Two days later the car wouldn't run. So called and was told to have it towed in on me. Steve didn't have an ounce of remorse in his voice that the car was no good two days after repairing it! Went to pick up the car he had his son give me the key and gave an estimate for $3000.00 for a used engine! Never going there again! read more

As a family with four cars, and three young drivers we only take our cars to Steven Luzzi Automotive. They offer complete service, fare rates, and my car always comes back cleaner the when I dropped it off! read more

Steven Luzzi Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Downey, California

5+ stars! These guys are great fast honest. Steve and his son took care of me. I took in an old excursion making all kinds of noise. They asked me to leave it and they would get back to me. Sure enough I got a call back much quicker than I expected. Long story I had other places quoting me over 350 to locate problem. Steve charged me about $125 to replace trans mount plus part. Like I said honest. He could of taken me for a ride and I would probably of taken it. If your looking for an honest and priced right place, this is it. I will recommend family to this place read more
