I had a very disappointing experience at this mechanic shop. I came in only to fix a flat tire, which should normally take a short time. However, it took almost two hours even though there were no other customers in the shop and about four mechanics walking around. Instead of focusing on fixing my flat tire quickly, the staff kept trying to convince me to do many other services that were not related to the tire problem. It felt like they were more interested in selling extra work than helping with the issue I came in for. From the owner to the staff, the service felt unorganized and unprofessional. I hope they improve their customer service and respect customers' time in the future. read more

They did good jobs on my vehicle, including brakes replacement, sway bar links replacement and spark plugs replacement. The leader, Hien is honest and provide good quality of works. read more

Great customer service. They really care about your vehicle and don't up charge. Hard to find good honest mechanics like the ones here

Okay! REVIEW TO WARN OTHER GIRLS. The owner will be the person who create an issues that your car need to replace unnecessary parts. Be sure you know your car well if you are a girl. He will try to push you to change unnecessary parts to your car and show that he cares for your car. He act nice but try to spam you into changing as much parts in your car as he can when you are a New Customers. Make sure go with your boyfriend or husband who understands about car to this shop. I just asked for an oil change and ended up paying $800 when I first walked out of his shop. He also will be nice and give you discount here and there but honesty Big Spam. I'm not sure how many honest people this owner has tricked already. read more

Do not do your auto repair or maintenance at this place. It is a total scam. I did my transmission, brake fluid, and coolant change here in June 2024. But when I took my car to the dealership for a recall on 04/08/25 and found out none of the work that this shitty place claimed they did, was a lie. The dealer show pictures of the dirty oil and say I was scammed and the oils looks like it hasn't been change for a while. read more

I just want to warn you guys who want to fix your car. I was scammed with the unnecessary things. I paid an expensive price for my lesson and I want everyone know it. read more

I fix and maintain most things on my cars myself including brakes, replacing water pumps, coolant hoses, thermostats, oil changes, transmission fluid changes, power steering fluid changes, power steering hoses, rebuilding power steering pumps, changing valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, belts, etc. The only reason I take my cars to the shop are for things that I cannot do such as the biennial smog check. I usually take my business to a place near my home, but today I had to run an errand in the Rosemead area, so I decided to give Success Auto Tech a try. Hein quoted me a smog check price that was lower than others in the area, $48. I didn't check any of the Yelp reviews prior to coming to this place, but should have. After all, it was a simple smog check, how bad can it be, right? When I brought my car in for the smog check, the first thing Long did was open my hood, use a flashlight, and check all around the engine. At that very moment, I knew these guys were shady. I've had my cars smogged dozens of times, and know that it is not done by looking into an engine with a flashlight. If they were really doing the smog check, they should have simply scanned my dmv paper, and hooked up the scanner underneath the driver's side dashboard. But nope, they looked through the engine for a few minutes. Then, they proceeded to check the underside of the car with a mirror. I knew they were trying to find problems such as oil leaks, but since I maintain and fix my own cars, I knew there was nothing wrong, and zero leaks. Once Long couldn't find anything to try to upsell me on, he proceeded with the smog check. That's when things get interesting. He starts the test, but then he tells me that the OBDII scanner is showing a P0420 code that my catalytic converter has a problem. I do not have a check engine light on, but he insists that a catalytic converter flush be done prior to the smog test. He goes on to say the State will require me to fix a lot more things if I don't pass the smog test. He offers to perform the flush for $58, but I tell him to perform the smog test first, and let's see if it will pass. If it doesn't pass, he said that he will retest for free once the supposed smog repairs are made. (By the way, the flush they were trying to sell me is a product called Cataclean that you simply pour in your gas tank for under $30 at any online retailer). The smog test passed, and he had nothing to say. I thought I was done and could just get away from this place. Hein comes around to the front passenger side and starts unscrewing the glove compartment door. I immediately told him not to check the cabin air filter. At that moment, he knew that I know my way around cars, so he said, "oh you know about the filter. you work on your cars?" To that, I said yes. Finally, Long walks me to the office, hands me my DMV smog certificate, and was ready to receive payment. He asks, "how much did we say the smog check was?" I was honest and said "you told me $48." I should have said $40 and rip these guys off for once...lol. Yelp community: You've been warned by many yelpers here. Stay away from this place. If you don't know anything about cars they will stop to no end to insist on unnecessary repairs be done. This is my first and last time to this shady mechanic. They do not have much business, and there's a reason for it. Glad I only took it to them for a smog check and nothing else. read more

I highly suggest this place for all your maintenance need! Support small mom and pop shops is my thing. They speak predominantly Vietnamese and English. They were always so nice and friendly when I bring my car in for his routine maintenance! They are fast, efficient, and reliable. They have been around and supporting the local community for more than 30 years! Y'all need to check them out and may I suggest making an appointment. They are pretty busy! I believe they get there work through word of mouth because there's not many reviews on here for them! So you know, they are awesome with the community members! read more

I was ripped off by the owners of this shop, Hien and Long. They always suggest and tell me do all these unnecessary repairs. They lied, lie, and always will lie to their customers. They don't care about your budget, they only care about themselves (as long as they can cover their own expenses and pay for their mechanics). They treat their customers differently, especially if you are a woman. They are sexist and think women don't know anything about car repairs. So they just go out of their way and tell you to fix whatever even if it doesn't need to be repaired. You better keep a record when and what you have repaired at their shop. Better not come to this shop at all, unless you have money to throw away. They do not care for the customer's concern and satisfaction. They are terrible owners! Good riddance to these scammers! read more

My father who is 70 years old and was there for a smoke check. And you tried to charge him for $600 all the "issues" you found. Since my father only had about $400 on him, you still emptied his wallet for $450 "repairs" when all he needed to do is a smoke check. This is beyond unbelievable. What kind people are you doing this to an elderly? read more

Love this place . Good prize . . Good service . All my friends and family always have my car repair here after they done w a service they always make sure ur car nice and clean . Thank so much Lon as always read more

I have three cars and I take them for services all and every time. I do research before I take my cars there for services. I am the person that to make comments or complaint about the services they provide but this shop is an exception that me me to write something about them. Thank you so much for being honest. We need this type of business and honest services in the local community. Keep it up! read more

I came in for a smog check And after reading all these comments I agree with most of them you show up for something small and they end up adding several things oil filters and more filters break fluid ect. I wouldn't go back read more

Today 5/13/21 I brought my car again and once again I receive nothing but excellent service from Hien. I came her for an oil c and got more than what I was expecting he check all my fluids and r lace my filters for a fair price. I was out of there less than an hour without an appointment what more can I ask for.People friendly read more

Dishonest people people Please be very careful when u take your car there Make sure u have a good idea on what's wrong with your car first read more

He continues to always take care of me and my family! Goes over and beyond for his clients. Don't let the reviews fool you. You may come to only do one service, but while doing that service, will see other things needing replaced. Again it is your choice to say yes or no, I always say yes, because when I pick up my car, it runs smoothly, it is washed, and shows me all the worn out parts that they replaced. read more

Received honest and excellent service from Hien today. The other employees also genuinely showed care and concern about the condition of my car and even gave extra love by adjusting the steering belt, topping off the power steering fluid, and cleaning around my engine/battery for no additional charge. That was thoughtful of them and I really appreciated that. This is how a business gains customer loyalty! I'll definitely be returning for future services. read more

I've experienced a fraud in this auto shop! They will make you believe that something is wrong with your car but in reality they just want extra money to compensate with what their original deal with you. Be very vigilant with your deals with them! The worst place ever! read more

This is my favorite auto shop. I had a engine coolant leak and Lance was the one that helped me out. Lance showed me all the problems with my car and gave me honest feedback.

Success Auto Tech - Shot outside of the auto shop. This location has good parking. - Auto Repair Near Me - Rosemead, California

See all

These guys do some great work!! Very honest people without a doubt. Took my 2000 Chevy Express Van for some pretty major repairs and these guys made it happen. I invested a lot of money to get my van going but now it's running like a champ. My mechanic (Long) is the shit and went above and beyond. Don't settle for any other repair shop. You will not get the service I was given. Stop by and see for yourself. You will not regret it! Let me add that he inspected my car and found the brakes to be worn down almost to metal. He performed the break job without my approval and was not going to charge me. I didn't feel right taking something for free even though it was offered, so I insisted that I pay them for the work. They have a business to run and being a business owner, we have lots of overhead. Thanks to all the guys at Success Auto Tech. Great job and will be back anytime I need something done to my cars. read more

First came in for an oil change and check my wipers because they weren't working right. Ended up having to fork over $200+ because apparently my tire alignment was off and I needed to fix my rear brakes. I came because they were a family friend but even then they are trying to rip me off. Never bring your car here. I realized my mistake in not checking the reviews beforehand. Going to find another mechanic to trust. read more

I agree with the reviews that when you bring your vehicle here, the quote is much lower than what you will be shelling out when your car is released. Yes, I mean your car is basically held hostage because the service guy makes you feel that it will not be safe to drive nor perform well, unless you get the recommended service. I brought my vehicle here on a recommendation and thought this was a trustworthy business. The quote sounded reasonable. When I went back to see my vehicle after they inspected it, the parts were removed with oil driping and in a state of disarray that repairs had to be made before the vehicle could be driven off! As your car is being worked on, more repairs and services are needed and the charges pile on. I was trusting and eventually the bill was twice what I had anticipated for the repairs. Incidentally, I checked the cabin air filter after it was supposed to be replaced. I found that it was washed off and had holes in it! Unfortunately for me, I went on a recommendation. I would not take my vehicle to this shop again. Beware! read more

I agree with: HK C, Jeni K, and Michelle L - " He told me I needed some work done that I had just had done" I completely agree and that is what happened to me! Excuse me Success Auto Tech, don't you remember changing my transmission oil 10,000 miles ago? (HOW DARE YOU TRY TO RIP ME OFF?) Should have known something was up when every time I was done servicing my car there.. they would brain wash me by saying, "See we do a good job, an honest job..not like **** **** (another auto shop a few miles away)" (WHO WOULD SAY THAT ABOUT THEMSELVES ANYWAY? IF YOU DO A GREAT JOB, YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL THE CUSTOMER YOU DID A GREAT JOB. THE CUSTOMER WILL REALIZE IT THEMSELVES AND YOU'D BE BOOMING WITH BUSINESS...THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BUSINESS GOING ON HERE, THAT IS WHY THEY SELL YOU UNNECESSARY MAINTENANCE) Standard oil change requires changing oil filter and oil. Well guess what? I did my last 5 oil changes with Success Auto Tech, and they NEVER changed the oil filter. How do I know this? I got my oil changed at another auto maintenance place and that's what they showed me.. (NOW I SEE THE TRUTH......THANK YOU FOR NOT CHANGING MY OIL FILTER SO THAT YOU CAN MESS UP MY CAR.. ) Changed my transmission oil at 30,000 miles with Success Auto Tech. At 40,000 miles, I came back to do a routine oil change where Mike, the mechanic, that always works on my car, suggested I should change the transmission oil because it looked dirty. He then continued to say that he changes his prematurely. My response was, "How often should I change it?" Mike replied, "every 20,000." Lance/Long (THE OWNER) comes by and agrees with Mike that it should be changed every 20K miles. I was puzzled and now realized what these guys were trying to do. I replied, "I had my transmission oil changed 10,000 with you guys." After I mentioned this, Mike and Long drop the ball on bugging me to get my transmission oil changed. (WHY ARE YOU GUYS TRYING TO RIP ME OFF? WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO SELL ME AN UNNECESSARY MAINTENANCE?) MAYBE NO ONE COMES TO YOUR PLACE BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE BEING SHADY... LONG, HEIN AND MIKE.. JESUS CHRIST.. DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS.. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED... I THOUGHT THESE GUYS WERE MY FRIENDS.. They seemed so nice and honest.. APPARENTLY GREED GO THE BEST OF THEM... read more

Very shady. When you are here for one car problem, they will convince you to replace a millions of other unnecessary parts. They even quote you without telling you what they are going to replace on your car. BE SURE TO ASK! I agree with one of the previous comments about the air filter. They love replacing air filter for you for no reason. read more

I agree w Fatty's review: http://www.yelp.com/biz/success-auto-tech-rosemead#hrid:_sOoVdEXixUch2EZ5VLkGg Overall, they really do bait you in for more than what you actually need repaired. I came here initially because my sister-in-law was a long time customer of theirs and swore they were honest to the bone. If I knew anything about cars then (I admit, or even now), I would not have been so keen on being a repeat customer. Their initial quotes are always reasonable and seem much cheaper than other places. However, EVERY time I go in for a check-up or routine oil change, I inevitably find myself shelling out $400+ for some repair or another. Granted, my car is over 10 years old, but after finding out about Yelp and the wonders of peer review, I realize the repairs were unnecessary and, if anything, made my car less authentic (they don't even use genuine Toyota parts!). What finally made me realize that they were not honest was because of the aforementioned review. (yes, I guess I am gullible - seeing as how they got me more than 4 times with their schtick) The last time I went in, they had me change BOTH the front brake discs, which apparently is not normal unless you have been driving around with worn-out brake pads for a REALLY long time. My brakes had barely been squealing for a week when I took my car in for a check-up, and I ended up paying over 600 benjamins for the repair. I finally moved on to a much better mechanic - Kerechek on Valley, and I've also had a good experience with Rosemead Auto Repair down the street from Success Auto. I went to them recently for a 21 point inspection using a livingsocial deal and they told me what a shoddy job Success had been doing to my car the last few years and that I did NOT need anything done for now. So long, Success. You will not be missed. read more

Great service, polite staff. They thoroughly checked their work after doing it, drove my car around the block, then came back and checked their work again & topped off all the car liquids. I got my car back the same day I brought it in....on a Saturday! read more

I sent my car to fix because engine oil burn out fast. They replaced some prats and did a lot maintenance that they even didn't ask me and charged me a lot of money, but there were no services items on my receipt. However, ater they repair my car, my car condition was worst. I sent my car to the other garage to repair again, the tech in this garage found out that my car engine screw was loss. I was so angary that I was cheated by Success Auto Tech. Never go there again! read more

My boyfriend reccommended this auto shop since this is where he gets his car fixed/mainetanced. I brought in my own Castrol oil and Fram oil filter so they could change my oil and since my boyfriend knew Randy, the mechanic who worked on my car, Randy only charged me $10 for labor. I don't know if that's expensive, but in total, I spent $68 to change my oil (I drive a 2007 Volvo S40). Other than that, Randy is super nice and friendly, and he got the work done fairly quickly (within one hour). Good stuff. read more

I understand how other people gave negative comments here. But I would give them a five star based on the experiences I had. My car's engine was replaced weeks ago by other mechanics, but I don't really trust their work. So I asked Hien (the manager) to check on the car when i went in for a oil change. and he told me later that the bolts on the car weren't tight and the other mechanics did not do alignments on the car, etc. The car was in bad condition. But the manager said he will finish the job with no extra charge. And at the same time, he suggested me to replace some of the parts on the car. So I spent around 700 at the end. But I was pretty satisfied, my car is over 100000 miles and I have no idea what needs to be replaced. He showed me the problems and the parts that needs to be replaced. My impression of this place is that mechanics here really care your car. They are able to spot the problem before it lead to a bigger one. It's worth spending the money on small problems. read more

I took in my ford escape and it had EGR problems, Hien went above and beyond to make sure what the problem was and even worked overnight to make sure my car was fixed. My car is running perfectly now thanks to Hien. Great mechanic and he knows what he's doing. read more

This place has been provided great customer services and decent prices to me over 10+ years.

Couple of times that my new cars still have warranty from dealers and the shop owners pointed out what needs to be done then I just brought my cars to dealer so they can repair them under factory warranty. read more

Success Auto Tech - Auto Repair Near Me - Rosemead, California

Waited almost an hour for a smog check because the machine had to calibrate. I wouldn't come back here for a smog check and would rather go to a place that specializes in smog check. Cost me $48 and an hour of my time and to top things off they wanted to flush the fluids to my car. That's additional time there and all I wanted was to get a smog check ugh! read more

Hein, Long, and their staff a are very knowledgeable and professional. I've been a customer for years,and I'm appalled at the horrible reviews. People who write bad reviews always say bad things about this place but it's just not true. They do quality work and on some of the parts, there's free warranty! When they take a look at your car, they can tell you everything that's wrong with it. Their full check up is the most thorough. And although your car can still drive, it doesn't mean that is safe! They are experts, and if you tell them how much your budget is,they can tell you what they can fix to make it safe for you, and it's cheap! 25 dollar oil changes, 50 for synthetic, good rates on maintenence, real & GENUINE parts, so they last longer! Don't come here if you just want to put a bandage over the problem, do Mickey Mouse work. Come im here if you want your car fixed, and runs well up to safety standards. They are good people and have been here for over 10 years. Do you think they'll still be in business if they did a bad job of fixing cars? No. They are excellent mechanics and professional auto repair hard workers. read more

Too terrible! I used to fix a tire there ,the repairman gave a bad impression , he told me that he could not promise that the tire normal use after he had fixed the tyre. Even more bad things is that he opened my car hood like to check something ,I never require him to do this, after all my car is a new one. He took out the air filter of my car and told me need to change , but I wouldn't change this because it looks like good. He always wanted to persuade me to change something of my car. My gosh, real is a dishonest shop owner. I will not get there anymore! read more

Don't let these scammed sell you a air filter everytime you bring your car to oil change here. Their price is 35 for oil change and they will convince you that you need a air filter for extra 20 dollar. You can buy it online at amazon and install yourself (youtube). Beware of Hien and Long, they will talk you into fixing stuff that you don't need and overcharge you. If you know about car, by all mean you can bring it here and you can straight saying no to whatever they offer on top of what you need to fix. I've been fooled just because I don't know. Hard lesson for me. Beware. read more
