All I can do is repeat what everyone has already said about Ben and his team. Honest, thorough, and quick. He was a great recommendation, and I will do the same. read more

I came here quite a few years ago to fix my 2005 X5 that started smoking out of nowhere. The dealership said it was one thing and had a high pricetag to fix it. When I came here for a second opinion, Ben said it was something entirely different and had a much lower cost to repair. He fixed the car within a day and the car ran fine with no more smoke!! Thanks, Ben! read more

Went to this place with my engine steaming. Told me I had a coolant leak and told me the only way to fix it was to disable my heating system but my heater wouldn't ever work again. I trusted them but 10 min after I left the place it started steaming again. Turns out it was the radiator hose and I spent $230 for them to ruin my heater and not even fix my car. And later went to another place to fix it the right way for only $75. I even called back telling them my situation and how I practically just gave them $230 for them to mess up my car even more and they didn't try to resolve it all. read more

The guys here professionals and respectful they won't take any short cuts to do the job right unlike other shops, once they finish their work they won't even inspected their work, These guys took their time to checked everything even help me with a hose problem. read more

Awesome service! Ben and his staff have been taking care of my 2001 Lexus IS300 for over 10 years now. Always professional and great prices. Highly recommend bringing your car here. Everyone I have referred is very happy with the work and price. read more

Came in for service on a E90 330i, was quoted $1000 by another shop. They did it here for half that. Uses genuine OEM parts. Honest and reasonable. Best experience I've had with an auto shop! read more

Went here a few weeks ago for air conditioning service and they lived up to their reviews. My car was done in less than an hour and received super friendly service. A/C blew super cold after that. read more

Wanted to update my previous review with continued praise for Ben and his entire staff. I've only taken my car to Tech 1 and over 100k miles later it's still running perfectly thanks to them. It's really hard to average a 4.5 star average as a automotive repair shop on yelp, you won't find many and it's no surprise to me at all. I've referred friends to this business and they've all become regulars. Ben has saved me countless amounts of $s over the dealership and other mechanics with his honesty and thorough experience and knowledge. Even though I live far away, I willingly drive out to drop my car off here for any repair or service needs, and I will continue to do so with any future cars I'll own. If you bring your car in, I'm sure you'll also become a customer for life as they go above and beyond and explain exactly what they do in detail without skipping corners or overcharging on parts or service. Recently I had a check engine light issue that even stumped the dealership and Tech 1 was able to go through every possible reason and finally figure out what the issue was as well as make recommendations. This shop is a rare find due to their honesty and expertise and is one of the many reasons that make yelp such a useful tool! I will wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone as it's one of my most adamant recommendations on yelp to anyone looking to service their car needs. read more

Came here for an oil change since the place I used to go closed down. Very happy with the customer service. They were very honest and helpful. Definitely will be coming back here if I have any other problems (: read more

This place will not fix your car, your car will leave here worse than what it came in with. Had the owner here damages my car and yet have the audacity to still charge me. Your car will leave more broken than it came in. Very unprofessional! Do not go here!! read more

I'm always hesitant about going to auto repair shops out of fear of getting ripped off or leaving the shop with more car trouble than I started with but I decided to give this place a shot due to all the positive reviews. I took my car in Saturday morning and can say that this place exceeded my expectations. I left my car fully expecting not to get it back until after the weekend but I got it back good as new that same day. The staff is very professional and friendly and I'm very happy with the end results. Definitely will go back here for any future car problems. read more

Been looking for an auto repair place that is knowledgeable, fairly priced, and I can trust for a while. Being a former auto mechanic who no longer has time for it, I had high expectations. I feel that I finally found the mechanic I was looking for. He knows what he is doing, no job is too small, gets cars in and out. Highly recommend! read more

Ben Is the best mechanic around been coming to him since my first car I love this Guy my whole family comes to him if you want it done right no Mickey mouse job come to him I don't trust no one else but Ben to work on my car and truck. Best prices and Best work this no BS or run arounds here Ben knows his stuff and knows it well read more

Best auto shop place in town. Only people I trust not to rip me off ! Very genuine people. Thanks for always being honest about my car problems (: read more

Went in today for a radiator leak inspection since my car overheated 2 days ago. Ben greeted me and took a look at my vehicle right away. He used a pressure air system to find for any leaks. Fortunately, there wasn't any but he did notice that the top radiator cap to keep the pressure in was broken. He replaced it on the spot. Even though it was a quick little fix, I now feel confident that my radiator will function properly, thanks to Ben. read more

Ben is the man. He definitely knows what he's doing and you can tell by the way his staff respects him. The first time I went to him, he diagnosed and fixed a leaking vapor gasket located in my fuel tank. He did this after I took my car to three other auto shops that couldn't figure it out. Go to Tech One if you really need a guy that really knows cars. I drive a Lexus is300. read more

Ben is a honest mechanic that gave me a good deal and charged me less than what other mechanics where asking for. He was able to fix my S2k very fast. I will continue to go there for his team excellent work and good price. read more

Tech No 2 - Main entrance - Auto Repair Near Me - El Monte, California

I've been going to Ben for about 3/4 years now and it has been the best experience I've had with a mechanic. Not knowing much about cars you can get easily swindled by anyone else but Ben is an honest person who does great work. He explains how and why something is wrong with the car and they are fast with the repairs as well. I recommend Ben for anyone and everyone. read more

They've moved to Mountain View Rd. in El Monte and the excellent service continues. Ben does a great job and very reasonable.

Tech #1 Auto Service did not fix my car correctly. I was referred there by my son. My first time taking my Jeep to see Ben Diep at Tech #1 on October 14, 2015 and I paid $450. I thought everything had been fixed, but when I drove my Jeep a few times afterwards I could still hear a clicking noise. The second time was July 9, 2016 because cylinder 3&4 were messed on my Jeep. I had paid been $475 and also the fee for a diagnostic test but I did not receive one that was done correctly. The receipt said the car was good for another 3 months. When I was driving my Jeep, something still did not feel right, so I called my son and I was supposed to bring it back but I became ill and had a lot of family issues happening. My third and final time going to Tech #1 was on September 8, 2016 my Jeep stopped on me and I had to get it towed. The tow truck driver had been carelessly handling my truck and trying to drive it and gunning the engine even though I asked him not to. When we arrived at Tech #1, the tow truck driver told Ben what he assumed that the transmission was what was wrong with my vehicle and Ben went with it instead of checking for himself. He then proceeded to put his hand in my face and yell that he would tell me what was wrong with my Jeep if I pay him another $60! I told him that I had paid for two diagnostic test and if he had done it by machine instead of writing it by hand then I would not have to keep coming up there with problem after problem. I refused the service and was told to remove my Jeep of his property. I managed to back it out of the establishment to across the street and proceeded to wait an additional four hours for another tow truck to arrive to bring my Jeep back home. read more

Great and honest mechanic! I will never take my car anywhere else.

Ben and Tech No.1 really care about their customers. I've service both my vehicles here the last 2 yrs and always have been happily surprised by the work and price. Ben stands behind his work. Highly recommend this place. read more

G-nash, G-narl! They closed their Peck rd. shop? It was great to have a shop like this close to home. I took my truck to another shop while they were on vacay and that turned into a nightmare. I'll take my business to their other place, but heck fire! read more

Best mechanic around at the Tech 2 location, the owner Ben Diep is a very nice, honest man and knows exactly what he is doing and gets to work quickly. I have gone plenty of times to get some issues fixed on my G35 and he gets it done in no time! My family has also been with Ben for many years. He does awesome work and does not charge you on the down low and is honest about what the problem your car has is, and prices as well. 5 stars and definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs something done on their car! read more

Ben (the owner of Tech 1) offers only what your vehicle needs, at a reasonable price. His staff is quick and provide quality work. I trust the labor at this repair shop more than at the dealership. read more

All the 5 star ratings justify tech 1 and Ben's great service. My 02 Rav4's check engine light went on and I was experiencing harsh shifting. I took to my regular mechanic and he checked the error code then told me it was the transmission with an estimated repair cost of $2000. I had started to look at buying a used car and just give up. I then called a few other places telling them the issue and received the same answer. It wasn't until I called Ben, he immediately told me it was probably not the transmission but due to an ECU unit defect for my car during those manufacturing years. He had told me it will take around 3 days to get the new part and only around $600 to fix. I just got my car back AMD it's only been day 2. He had paid extra for the over night shipping and got my car back and running in less than the time he had estimated with no additional charge. I can't thank him more and his staff for their great and fast service. I will definitely come back with all my auto servicing needs. read more

every review that is on here about ben is true!! he is the sweetest man. never have I been to an auto repair shop and they tell me the truth about my car. well ben did! he fixed my problem for super cheap and fast. I will be coming to him for all my car troubles read more

great place went in after I read a review and as I was pulling in Benny ( the main mechanic ) yelled out miss fire. he knew what was wrong with my car before he even opened the hood. my car was running on six of its eight cylinders. he ordered the parts and as soon as they came in started his work. will go back to get regular service done read more

Very satisfied customer... will not let you down. Will let you know what is or is not needed. Very genuine, honest, & treats you like family!! :) read more

BEN IS THE BEST!! I've been coming here for at least 7 years, as does my entire family. I won't trust my car to anyone else. Ben offers outstanding service at outstanding prices. Oftentimes he is able to finish my car the same day. His prices are always more than fair. There have been a few occasions when I have offered him a cash tip and he refuses, asking instead that I just bring him a six-pack of coca-cola the next time I come in. I will continue to use Ben and Tech No 1 for all my auto repair needs. read more

This shop is amazing. Great work and great prices. All parts and labor were guaranteed no questions asked. I've never been quoted a price then pay less than the quote because it turned out to not need as much work. Nice to know their are still honest people around! Thanks Benny you are the best! read more

I have a 2004 Honda and I drive 92 miles a day 6 days a week I take my vehicle to Benny's shop because he is THE greatest ! he gives me THE best prices ! ! guys were always trying to hike up the price or fool me into getting other procedures done to my car; but thank God for my 3 brothers I know a little bit about cars and when I took my car to Benny he not only told me THE honest truth but he left my car running like new. YOU WILL NOT REGRET taking your vehicle to Benny , give them a chance you will drive away safe and happy !! :) read more

I have been a customer at tech 1 for 2 years. I have already posted a review before, but seeing one of the recent reviews, i felt like i had to remove my review and make a new one. I first found out about Ben when i needed to get my radiator replaced. The original mechanic shop i went to was charging me 700 dollars. Ben charged me only around 500. Ben offers great prices and is very honest when it comes to his customers. Obviously, you can see that nearly all his reviews are five stars, except for one. This should be enough to prove that Tech no 1 auto is an excellent place to repair your cars. As for the "mexican boy" , that comment was very derogative and disrespectful. I trust Ben to fix my car any day, he basically guarantees that your car is fixed, otherwise you can bring it back and get it fixed if he made any mistake. You get five stars from me, Ben. read more

Just got my first car this past summer, Tech 1 Auto has been outstanding helping me with any work I need done to the car and it is always ready in a timely manner. The owner is great, very friendly, awesome service. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with car maintenance issues. They are very honest and give fair prices! read more
