I've been coming to Ben for quite some time now. Ben and his staff are wonderful people. He's a really honest mechanic which means a lot when you hear all these horror stories about car shops. Ben takes the time to explain what's going on with your car if something is wrong and what he'll do to fix it. Not only is he honest, but he's affordable in comparison to other shops. I always refer my friends to him cause I trust that he'll take care of them. Don't believe those 1 star ratings. Ben gets 5 star ratings because he does good and honest work. read more

Consistently great service and exceptional honesty in diagnosing and servicing my vehicles. I've been coming to Tech 1 auto (and Ben) for nearly 20 years now. I've referred their services to family members and friends for nearly the same amount of time. Nothing but positive experiences. If you have any car issues whatsoever, I strongly recommend you call them first. You won't regret it. read more

I went Tech no 2 off of Mountain View because I just put a new battery but battery light was still on. Talked to Ben about it and told it was my alternator that was bad. He took a device out to check the voltage of the battery to show me why the alternator was not good. The looked busy but he told me can get it done in two hours. That sounds great to me. So I come back to pick my car in two hours and I was telling him that I just had a baby boy last December. So without asking for a discount, Ben gave 10% off as gift for my baby. Thank you Ben for the gift and quick service. read more

Tech No 2 - Skilled peeps!! - Auto Repair Near Me - El Monte, California

I had my transmission replaced on my 2001 Acura CL-S 20 months ago. Still running strong. The price I got at the time was the best around. I was referred to him through my in-law who tows cars for dismantling at auto part yards. So he knows a lot of mechanics and this is the one he referred me to. I thought to write this review as I called Ben today for a quote to replace the transmission on their car. My friend had already called around to many other places on Yelp that had great reviews but no one's quote could come close. Even familiy friends who work out of their garage were $200 more. read more

Okay I found my Mechanic BEN is his name and he's at the TECH 2 Shop Very truthful no bullshit to a man definitely not to a woman by trying to make extra money .. DEFINITELY I RECOMMEND SHOP 2 read more

Horrible place Ben the owner has no customer service skills was supper rude gave me and my boyfriend a hard time after he supposedly fixed the issue my car had and once we took it back he called me and my bf liar he connected the machine to see what was wrong again and all the codes he had "fixed" popped up and then claimed his machine isn't working, I do not recommend this place at all!! I am now left with no car cuz my problem just got worse read more

They not just there to make your money their make you life easy. Infinity Q45 Toyota 4 runner read more

This is based on my last visit. I called and asked if they could fix my nitrous oxide sensor on my BMW X5. They said sure bring it over. When I got there I told them the sensor needed to be replaced. He said let me look at it and I'll let you know. I dropped the car off and called them back later that day. I asked what the situation was and he said that my nitrous oxide sensor had to be replaced and that I had to take it to the dealer because he can't sync it with to the cars computer. When I go to pick up my car, he said that will be $40 bucks for me to look at it. I told him that I already told him what needed to be fixed. He said well I can fix it but ur still going to need to take it to the dealer to get it synced. He told me I still had to pay the fee even if he can't do the job. After going back and forth I realized that this was going no where. I will never be back. Maybe he can do the job on older cars but my issue is to not tell me you can fix something and then tell me I have to go to the dealer and still charge me! Beware read more

All I can say is... "BEN, THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Ben, the main mechanic, knows his stuff. Straight up, Very honest. Super helpful and just a sweet and sincere man. He helped my fiance and I on my car with everything. It was a big job but he did a great job. I couldn't believe how well my car worked afterwards, I basically had a whole knew engine built. His prices are extremely reasonable and he will work with you. If you are in need of a mechanic, seriously stop looking, Ben is the only one you will need. This place is small but they have great guys working there. Thank you again! read more

I just got home with my newly repair car from these folks. I want to thank Ben very much and his team for working on my car. The other day I sprung a leak on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I couldn't tell if the hose leaking was a radiator hose, or something else. I had heard great things about Ben's business and to his credit their service is all around great! Ben took a quick look under the hood and he was able to almost immediately figure out what work my car needed. It turns out I had a leaky water pump system and he was able to give me a really good estimate on cost for parts. I did some research to look at the general costs for the type of work needed beforehand and what Ben offered was very reasonable. I asked Ben if he could do a tune up and he was helpful in negotiating what kind of work I wanted for the tune-up. I dropped my car off yesterday and I picked it up earlier this morning, and I plan on coming back to Ben's business for more work on my car. Thank you again! read more

This is for tech 2, their second location in el monte. Ben and his team clearly knows what they are doing and will give you a good price on whatever you need fixing. I had a problem that the dealer would charge an arm and a leg to fix but the guys here did it within the day for a reasonable price. A satisfied customer :) read more

Ben fixed my 2010 Dodge Avenger. Misfire readings turned out to be a bigger problem. They replaced the whole computer and my car now runs fine. This place is not a rip off and will not take advantage of their clients. read more

I brought my 2012 Acura with a power steering problem and of course when it's electrical it can be complicated and expensive. I brought it to Ben and his crew and they were able to save me $$$ the dealer was quoting me a high price and I still have the extended warranty on my car. Ben explained the problem and he fixed my car and was able to save me $$$. Ben and his crew are great mechanics and know their stuff and they are customer friendly. They are honest mechanics and they will work on the problem. I will definitely come back for my future maintenance of my car. If you need an honest and great mechanics bring your car here. Thank you Ben and your crew! read more

Tech No 2 - I trust Ben and Tech No. 1 with my classic 1st generation Celica. He can fix anything! - Auto Repair Near Me - El Monte, California

I live in SFV and work in San Gabriel valley. Car started to run weird- felt like I was driving in cobble Stones and car was making a motor boat Sound. I was scared of an expensive repair bill, (and being a female). I looked up this garage on yelp and took a chance. Much to my relief, the fix was no big Deal. Ben treated me with courtesy and honesty. Not only did Ben test drive my car to diagnose, but he drove my car again to make sure the "fix" was effective. I did not spend a to of money, and I'm glad Yelp led me to this garage. I will definitely use this garage again should the need arise read more

Please don't believe all the 5 stars rated for this shop. He has his friends and relative rated for him! The owner will base on how you look like to give you a quote (price). If he thinks you have money and willing to pay more he will find a way to make you believe there are problems about your car. He doesn't have a price list. He just bases on his gut...LOL. I brought my car there to check my brake. Next day I have work so I asked my boyfriend to take it in but the owner forgot the conversation that he had with me so because my boyfriend appear to be a guy of course he then gave a different quote. Very un-trust worthy shop! Please re-evaluate all the 5 stars. If I can give ZERO star I would. read more

BEST PLACE and an other Successful Tech # 2 Auto . All my family have been here for 15years They are friendly , great job, good mechanics and good price. Don't believe those 1 star ratings . Ben gets 5 star ratings because he did good and honest work. read more

I made the mistake of taking my car to the chevy dealer because my brakes were grinding. The dealer charged me $150 just to tell me what the problem was. Then they slapped me with the $1400 cost of repairs!! I then decided to give tech 1 a try because a few friends have recommended him. Ben fixed all my problems and then some for $375. My car is running so smooth!! And Ben was so sweet and helpful. He did everything in one day too!! I will always go to him for any problem. I'm glad I found a mechanic that I can trust! thanks Ben!!! read more

Ok, let me begin, took my car here and I called before I did. 3 days later my car was never looked @. Ben said he would call tomorrow, never did, I called and said my h2o pump was bad and it would cost so much to fix, and he was spouting off numbers off of the top of his head, my wife called to confirm price to authorize the work. Told her a complete different price. Ben just guessed and lied. There was nothing wrong with the h2o pump because we took it else where. Ben was quoting near $800. We got it fixed some place else for under $200, and had it back in hours. I'm suspicious of all the 5 star review, must be his own workers, also, when my wife went there to pick up car, workers were very inappropiate by there stares. Like they never seen a piece of ass before, I will never come here again unless I learn to speak Vietnamese...... read more

Ben has his new shop on Mountain View Road, and it is awesome. Much larger and affords him the space he needs for all of his modern technologies and tools. And he is still the same HONEST, FAIR PRICED mechanic but he has more room to service & repair our cars. read more

I took my little beater in and drove out with a Lexus! These Guys are the best! With all the customers they have and only meeting them once for a few minutes, I walked up the next day and the owner Ben yelled out hey John! What a great feeling! I knew then my car was in good hands. What great customer service. After a few laughs and the owner recommending his favorite Vietnamese restaurant, I was out with a good deal and no bull****! read more

Ontario Volkswagen tried charging me $1800 to fix the valve body in my bug and Ben is able to do it for $950!! He's AMAZING.

Car got over heated on my 2004 Accord, Came today based on the review from other yelpers. Met with Ben and he quoted reasonable price for the 3 leak radiator hoses (most of the charges are for labor fee of an hour and half work). I also requested him to check and top off all the needed fluids. He top off my transmission and steering fluid with no extra charges. Thank you Ben, I will bring my other car for maintenance and see you again soon..... Just FYI, you may want to only drop off your for repair, they don't have any dedicated waiting room to sit in. read more

I usually don't like to write reviews but I saw one review gave 1 star for Tech No 1 Auto, that can't be truth! So... I got a quote for my transmission around $2,400 from another shop. I was about to gave up and not fixing it because it doesn't worth to spend 2.4k on my old car. Then I was lucky to find Ben the owner of Tech No 1 Auto Service. I usually get expensive quote whenever I go to mechanic shop just because I appear to be a girl. But this guy (ben) he was supper nice to me and quoted me with reasonable price $1,800!! I think that guy Peter J., who gave 1 star review so stingy and very unreasonable!!! read more

Ben's the MAN!!!!!! Awesome guy and probably the most honest mechanic I've ever met! Thanks Ben!!
