George and his crew are very friendly and knowledgeable. I use them for all my auto needs. Smog, oil changes, tire rotations, and more.

The guys at Uptown Garage are honest and reliable. They know their way around cars! I have had motor mounts replaced. On my truck they did a smog and fixed my cat conv, and on a different truck, a brake and light inspection. They work on older and newer cars and will tell you up front if they can't or won't solve the problem correctly. I recommend call before you go, they are usually busy and it's a small parking lot! read more

George and his Crew go above and beyond in their Service. I've been using their Services for the last two years. My car is running great! WWhether it's oil changes or breaks, even Referrals! Thank you George and Merry Christmas! read more

I've been to multiple auto repair shops and Uptown Garage is hands down the best place to get your car worked on. I recently had to get a lot of work done on my mini and the first place I took it to in La Habra was way over priced. Decided to take it to Uptown Garage and got a much better quote. The quality of work was also top notch. If you're looking for a fair price, quality work, and quick service, go to Uptown Garage! read more

George and his crew are some of the best. You can assure you'll receive quality work. I've gone on multiple occasions where I needed my vehicles ready for work the next day and he made sure it was ready and done right. I have a hard time trusting most mechanic shops because a lot of them are out to get your money but here with uptown garage I feel I can trust them to get the job done without any unnecessary upselling. Any vehicle needs, big or small jobs, these are your guys!! read more

Uptown Garage - My work van - Auto Repair Near Me - Whittier, California

Everything went well, minimal wait time, reasonable prices, quality work and excellent customer service

Pick up my car earlier today. Jorge and his team went above and beyond, very affordable and reasonable prices. Jorge even gave us explanation on what our car needed in detail, he even showed us the parts that he replaced. So grateful to fine this place and will be coming here again when needed. read more

Took my vehicle in for service and received it back with scratches and a door ding. They completely denied all damages so I figured oh well what can I do? Worst thing was when they started going down a list of recommended services. One which was brakes all around with a price quote of $600 dollars. What was very strange was that my local Honda dealer had just serviced my brakes so I reach into my glove box and rendered the proof of work. I literally saw the owners face go from red to pale at which point I knew he was dishonest and a scam artist looking to take advantage of people. He immediately went into the hiding pretending like he was calling someone and then came back and said it was a mistake. I call BS! And I also believe he did the damages on my door. Be very careful coming here. The owner is Jorge. read more

Excelente professional service. Very reliable. I've been going to George for over 10 years, highly recommend him.

Update: recently Jorge & Manny did some extensive work to our 2011 Buick. They found oil leaking onto 3 of the 6 spark plugs. Repaired. Replaced coil, valve cover & more. Idle has dropped by 200 rpm. Gas mileage has increased from 16.5 to 17.5. Recently drove daughters back to college (GCU/Davis). Buick averaged 19.3 mpg!! Unheard of! These ARE the guys for your car/truck!! read more

My car was in dire need of a lot of work. However, I haven't been able to find a good mechanic in over 5 years. I called George from another referral and he assured me that he could help me. He explained to me what was wrong with my car in lamest terms and helped me prioritize which repairs needed to be done first. He did an excellent job and I have been back for another service since then. George and the rest of the guys are honest, fair in price and does amazing work. I would highly recommend! read more

They took advantage of my desperate situation. I was quoted a high price for something they could have easily done for a cheaper price.

I took my old motorhome to get a smog late in the evening, not inly did they wait for me, they assisted me with other issues that I was having (lights) at no cost!!! This was a surprise to me as EVERY REPAIR SHOP I have been to will not even look at your car unless you are paying them for it. These guys are new to the area (but have a separate shop in the city of South Gate) and are coming to our city with the best quality that any shop can have, customer service. The owner said he has been successful i his other location because he believes in "long time customers" , he has my business!! He explained all Charges and I felt very comfortable with the charges. If you are looking for quality service and reasonably priced, go see these guys!! read more

George and staff are excellent mechanics!! These guys are spot on and extremely fair priced!!! Can't go wrong with these trusty mechanics. Unlike most shops that give you the run around, George tells you exactly what's wrong and repairs the issue. Thanks guy's!!! read more

Took my daughters truck in this morning and they got right on it and it passed and was out of there in less than 1/2 hour great service very friendly will bring truck back for a major tuneup very happy with his service Thank you read more

George and Manny! Super friendly guys. Very knowledgeable. Car broke down with a bad part attached to the radiator. They identified it right away and even offered to stay late after hours and get the job done. My wife got her car back in just a few hours and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Uptown Garage! read more

New ownership. I called to get an estimate for work I needed to get done and not only did Jorge schedule me in as soon as possible, but he also took his time to go over what my car needed replaced. He was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad I made the decision to come here. It's hard to find honest mechanics. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I took my Lexus ES 350 for a 60k service. Jorge took his time to check everything out and did a great job. I also have him work on a old odyssey which had a bunch of problems including frequent misfire. Jorge took care of them and the van runs like new. The guy is trustworthy and will always give you his honest opinions. read more

Good service, great people. Very honest and respectful. Very reasonable pricing. Been going to both of his business for years.

I'm always cautious with my Truck repairs. Needed a new engine for my Dodge Ram after checking around and not feeling confident with these other locations I decided to go by Uptown Garage. Met Jorge and Manny and after a few minutes of talking with em I knew this was the place. Felt very comfortable with em that was 3 months ago since I got my Truck back and I was not wrong! These guys are by far the best mechanic duo I've ever worked with. Just took my truck back to replace the radiator and I refuse to take my vehicles anywhere else! There extremely kind and honest and that's a rare thing these days and their work is better then anything I've ever experienced. Everyone hates going to a mechanic I know but they will not disappoint. Having to pay for repairs is hard for most of us but having peace of mind after is priceless! Jason B read more

They replaced my Water Pump on my explorer. My water pump began to leak. Come to find out that the water pump was no good. They replaced my water pump and suggested not to drive it too much because the water pump on these explorers are no good, specially since an engineer thought it was a great idea to put a water pump inside the engine. Other places I went to were charging too much for labor. These guys were reasonable. You need a good work on your car for a reasonable price come to these guys. read more

Great people. Efficient t and fast. Went on for a smog and was out in half an hour. Thank you

Does anyone have a good phone number for this business? I have not been successful reaching anyone by calling the phone number listed and there is no option to leave a voicemail. I live in Canyon Country and can't just drive by the business. The business shows it is open. Could anyone provide me any information? Thanks!! read more

This is my favorite auto shop. I've been coming here for years because of their good work. If you need work on your car this would be the place to get it done. The vibe: Definitely a family business, they're kind, honest, to the point, but always treat you well. This time I came in because my 2011 Kia Forte was making noises and shaking upon acceleration (Scary), it has 300,000 miles. When I arrived I spoke to Oscar and he attended me right away. Next we went on a test drive so he could feel what was described. When we got back he started troubleshooting and pinpointed the problem after a few minutes. I decided to leave the car there to get the work done and I must say once again they did an amazing job, my car feels as good as new. Contrary to some of the other reviews I still recommend that you check them out if you're having car issues. You won't be disappointed, I never have. read more

Great Shop. Saved me a lot of money. good friendly service if you want your car fixed right go to them you won't be disappointed with the high quality work at a affordable price. Talk to Jerry! read more

George and his team are great! Saved my car and saved me from having to get rid of my first car. Changed my oil filter housing which was completely damaged. I'm beyond happy to have found someone who I feel comfortable enough to trust my car and expect honesty and great work. read more

This is the spot! My clutch went out on my Nissan Sentra. They were able to see it the same day I called. Replaced the clutch and a number of other stuff without me asking (brake light issue, power steering issue, noisy exhaust). It was like driving a completely different car when I got it back. Can't wait to take in my little truck! read more

Bad practice, bad attitude, disgusting blame on the customer Oscar and his Father Rene (The Owner) worked on my Audi A4 trusted them with my keys to change thermostat housing and hosing and another part to my car come to see that another mechanic took a look at the job called it poor and bad since my car is still leaking! They even cracked my windshield and wanted to make me pay for it ! Unfortunately i still had to pay half i would never recommend this place to my family and friends do yourself a favor and stay the hell away from here. read more

Went there to get a tuneup for my Ford Expedition recently and I have to say I am very happy with the work done. Not only was the price fair, they started right away and had in done in about 2 hrs. The same day. To top it off they even gave me a ride home in there personal vehicle . When I came back I enjoyed a nice chat with the new owner. The place is getting cleaned up since he has taken ownership. Recommend. My mom had her explorer services here also. She went by herself and they treated her great and gave her a fair price. read more

Not henrys garage anymore. We went there for years now that Henry left we Got wrong diagnosis, paid for new parts and got a rebuilt one. read more

Alternator on my older model MB took a dive. Came here because it was close to my inoperable vehicle. Quick diagnosis, quick quote on price, two and half hours later I'm up and running, back on the road, and was charged cost for the part and reasonable labor. The place looks dumpy and disorganized - the owner(s) are on top of things and instilled great confidence in me as to their mechanical abilities. I'd definitely come back to this shop having had a good and honest experience the first time. read more

I highly recommend Uptown Garage! Our car started having issues and I Initially took it to a different shop, they informed me that I would need a new transmission and it would be $1700.00. I decided I would get a second opinion and took it to Uptown Garage and I do not regret my decision! They guys at Uptown had the time and patience to look further into the car and informed me that it was just a simple seal that was broken in the transmission and it was not an expense fix. It was such a relief to know that it was a simple fix that would not cost me me a new transmission. This shop is extremely trustworthy and I will continue to take our cars to Uptown Garage. read more

Henry, the manager is pleasant to deal with, and has treated me fairly since I have started bringing my vehicles to him. Just had Uptown do a new timing belt, water pump and new pulleys on my Maxima, and I have a little problem with the work that was performed. If they fix it with out an up sell, I will change my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars. If they try and up sell me, then I know what I am dealing with. read more

We took my husband's 2002 Chevy Silverado, we met with Oscar and we explained what the situation was. He was very friendly and knew exactly what we were talking about. He took the truck for a test run to confirm what he had believed the problem to be. He fixed our truck in a timely manner. These days it is hard to find someone to work on your car and people that you can trust. I will highly recommend this shop to my family and friends!! read more

Henry's uptown garage...I would recommend this place to anybody they make a reasonable price and they handle the job in nice amount of time and they don't bs like pep boys.. Henry's uptown garage replace our transmission mounts rack and piñon and top the fluids off and they finished the job in the same day we were surprised to hear that it was already done for pick up by the time we got home read more
