Oil change was fast , friendly, great price for the work ! This is definitely my new go to!

Amazing amazing service!! As a woman, it's always intimidating finding a car shop that you hope won't try to rip you off. I saw great reviews for WAG and gave them a call less than an hour before they closed to see if I could come by to get my breaks replaced. Without hesitation the owner said to come by! The receptionist was so sweet and the owner gave me a great deal with zero pressure to upsell me. The service and pricing were so good that I decided to get both replaced. Do not hesitate to bring your car here!! read more

I needed an oil change for my car and I found this spot through Yelp. It had really great reviews so I decided to come and I'm SO glad I did. I met Antonio who I believe is the owner and he was very kind and welcoming. They had my car in and out probably within 30 minutes as a walk-in so the service was fast and for $70, it was great! The girl who helped me towards the end was also really wonderful! I can't wait to come back whenever I need some help with my car. read more

Antonio is great and very helpful! I took my car in for A/C repair and they were quick. I appreciated the fact that they took time to explain everything to me. I think I found my new mechanic! read more

First time taking my car for an oil change to Whittier Auto Garage and the value and quality of service was great. Also, have a check engine light on and let the mechanic know about. I was expecting to be charged for that diagnostic, but it was free of charge. I recommend Whittier Auto Garage . I will continue to come back for service and repairs. read more

I came to this shop at 10 a.m. for a simple AC diagnostic. I was told it would take one hour and they'd call me when it was done. Hours later, no call. At 1:30 p.m., I called them myself, only to be told they were "still doing the test." So much for one hour. When I showed up in person, things went from bad to unbelievable. The guy casually told me they had LOST MY KEYS. Yes--lost my keys. And nobody bothered to call me about it. Instead, I sat there like an idiot for another hour while they tried to figure it out. I finally had to demand they drive me home so I could grab my spare key. They promised if my keys didn't turn up, they'd cover a replacement. The next day--still nothing. No call, no update, no accountability. I had to call them AGAIN, and only then did they say they had called a locksmith. That turned into another wasted day of sitting at their shop for hours with zero communication. This shop is a joke. The customer service is nonexistent, the communication is pathetic, and the incompetence is beyond belief. They wasted two full days of my time, lost my keys, gave me the runaround, and then had the nerve to still charge me full price. Shady, careless, and completely unprofessional. They don't respect customers, they don't take responsibility, and they don't care. Save yourself the frustration--go anywhere else but here. read more

Amazing ppl working here, very courteous & honest. My first visit was great. They're straight shooter with pricing, not overcharging you for the service cos they work VERY efficiently. While many others dragged their feet and ETA which ended up charging us $$$$ for the labor cost and time length that they created. I saw ppl came and went after getting their light services done in very short period of time while I was waiting. This is how you grow your business. Antonio is very professional & very knowledgeable, the whole crew was very kind. Initially came in for the quote just to compare the prices, ended up finding THE shop to take my cars to for the future. I'm converted. read more

This is a family owned and operated mechanic shop that specializes in Dodge and jeep (Mopar). Tony is honest and works fast and charges fair prices. There's no other mechanic in tbe Whittier area I'd take my Jeep to other than him. Highly recommend coming here for service read more

No one likes car problems & it's really hard to find an honest place with fair prices... especially for females. I had to tow my car after hours and this place was so responsive through their Yelp page. The owner was transparent and told me they were booked for several days and wouldn't be able to look at my car until Monday (this was Wednesday). They took my car anyway and didn't charge me for keeping it (I had to get it towed that night since it stopped in the middle of the street). When they got around to my car, it was fixed fast without trying to upsell me anything and at a very reasonable price. Truly appreciated. They have great reviews for a reason. So glad I found them & they will definitely be my go-to place for any future maintenance or issues (though hoping for no more). read more

Rebuilt engine on my 2014 RAM 1500 5.7L V8 was a success...very busy shop because of the good quality work they provide, so be patient. Pricing is the most reasonable around! Completamente satisfecho. read more

My car needed an oil change and I wanted to avoid those chain places that try to sell you unnecessary services. Whittier Auto Garage fit the bill! Parking was a little hard (most empty spots are reserved for a tattoo shop) but I parked behind another car hoping for the best. I walked in around 10am and was instantly helped and told the wait would be about 30 minutes. I also asked the gentleman if they could check the air in my tires because the tire sign was showing. About 30 minutes later my car was done as promised. Reasonable price and great service. Very professional. I will be going back and recommend it. read more

I was a walk-in oil change needing full synthetic. I was greeted, treated respectfully, in and out and under 30 minutes. $59.99 is a forest superior deal than corporate or dealer oil changes. While I was there, several people came in to pick up their vehicle or drop one off for service. All retreated with respect and gratitude. I definitely recommend WAG. read more

Having someone you trust to work on your car makes all the difference! I've been going to Whittier Auto Garage for years now and they are so amazing. Whether it's fixing my A/C or fixing issues needed to pass smog, I know they have me covered. They are also so kind and friendly too, can't recommend them enough! read more

Everyone here has been honest and fair with pricing. They can handle almost any problem with your car you can think of, I know I have brought them quite touchy issues with my jeep and they have fixed them all, no problem! I highly recommend Whittier Auto Garage! read more

Great service and customer service. Helpful and kind staff. Very quick! They provided an oil change service and topped off all fluids!

Recently moved to Whittier and I went in for headlight replacement for my Honda civic. Antonio was super helpful and quick. 30 mins and I was out of there. Cost was very reasonable as well. I will definitely go back for my regular car servicing and other issues. He is honest and gives a good feedback. He definately doesn't push you to change other parts if not necessary just like some people/companies do. read more

Went for an oil change. The service was fast, friendly, no upselling. They even parked my car certain way so I could get out easily. Would go again! read more

Went in at 8 am today, Saturday, no appointment, for oil change and check my brakes. I was out before 8:45. Friendly, accommodating, efficient, and honest, all the qualities I need in a mechanic. My brakes still have life on the pads and can wait til next oil change. Thats honesty! I appreciate it. Definitely recommend Whittier Garage. 5 star + !!! read more

I have brought my jeep wrangler here for both mechanical and electrical needs and the team here does amazing work with great prices. The owner, his daughter and the guys working have all be a pleasure and the work is honest, efficient but above all reliable. Any concerns I've had they've addressed without issue. I've had a few other jeep owners ask where I get work done and never hesitate to recommend this shop. read more

If I could give negative stars I would how a simple oil change service couldn't be performed on my vehicle at your mechanic shop is beyond me but here we are. During the oil change, my vehicle's original oil filter housing was cracked. Instead of replacing it with the correct, compatible part for my vehicle, your shop installed a metal oil filter housing on my car which caused my car to leak oil. Less than a month after the oil change, I began receiving low oil alerts from my vehicle, indicating that oil was being lost. I contacted your shop and spoke directly with the owner on multiple occasions. Despite these alerts and my concerns, I was repeatedly told that my car was not leaking oil.(I had a huge spill on my driveway but it was not leaking oil apparently? I was told it was the excess oil that was spilt from when my oil change was done???okkkkkk) It was later proven that my car was in fact LEAKING oil after taking my car to a different shop to resolve this issue because Whittier auto garage couldn't after I returned my car 3 times, i paid 90 dollars for a new oil filter another quart of oil and a evaluation of my car. I am very disappointed that this took about a month to resolve and after taking my car in this last time I knew I was not returning when the owner looked at me with a smile and said "your car will not be leaking oil" and it was in fact leaking oil lol do better. oh and the best part the mechanic then proceeded to scan my car as if that would tell them that the oil filter housing that they replaced wasn't compatible or that I had an active oil leak why do I want a scan of my car?? just fix the leak you caused!!!Lastly for a car mechanic to allow a customer to leave a shop with an active oil leak knowing this can leave to engine damage is beyond me. If you don't care about your car leaving in a worse condition than how you had it bring it here! Oil change done nov 18 Picture of my driveway was taken nov 23 I took my car back dec 1 as it was still leaking all they did was clean underneath my car?? Returned again December 15th after receiving low oil alerts I was told o ring on the oil filter was replaced and they added more oil it was still leaking after that Took it to a new shop December 19th has not leaked at all since. read more

Antonio was great! I found my new mechanic. My A/C was glitching halfway through the day. I was praying this wasn't going to be expensive to fix. Antonio fixed the problem in under an hour, and I'm so glad I didn't take it to anyone else. read more

Excellent service. Love this place. The owner is super knowledgeable. Tells you exactly how it is. Doesn't over charge. He even will tell you when something is not necessary. His daughter runs the front and is so sweet. They've worked on my car, my daughter's car and my daughter in-laws car. Would recommend 100%. read more

Honest work... I do recommend this repair shop. They have fixed two of my cars. I appreciate the good service.

Took my car in to get it inspected before transferring the car to a family member. I was able to get my breaks pads changed, radio fixed, as well as the radiator. Antonio was honest and told me what was wrong with the car. The price to fix it was reasonable, and I was glad to have everything done in one place. Thank you for your service! read more

Great efficient service. Got my AC recharged in an hour. Also replaced my AC relay fuse. A bit pricey but very good quality work.

Best place in Whittier, honest, friendly, affordable and quick turnaround. Didn't have to wait much for maintenance on break pads and discs also repaired my AC. Thank you!! read more

After waiting a year to write this, I wanted to make sure I was being fair before leaving feedback. Once I switched to a different mechanic, my car no longer had many issues. I'm sharing this for feedback and improvement purposes, because the staff were kind and communicated well; however, the wrong part was repeatedly installed in my car, which caused ongoing problems that I think people should be aware. read more

I received my smog certification for registration there. They were quick and professional. My results were electronically posted and I was able to get my registration stickers from a DMV kiosk shortly afterwards. read more

My got-to mechanic he can fix anything!!! He is so helpful in times of 911 with my car and is great at keeping it up with maintenance. He has done some heavy lifting with my car: engine, transmission rebuild you name it. Definitely recommend him! read more

great service I've been coming here for years great great very friendly and professional never advantage of since I'm a single female. It's to trust this one is a good one very professional family oriented business. read more

1. They tried to charge $400 parts and labor for a 15 minute job to replace a starter 2. Kept my car for three weeks while they ordered the wrong part 3 times 3. I had to order the part myself 4. When I received the part the owner took offense to me asking him to move me up his priority list of repairs saying "I don't work for you" 5. I pick the car up and take it to another shop. They do the repair in under an hour. 6. This shop broke a piece of my center console so now I get to spend a weekend afternoon going to the junkyard so I can put the center console back together myself Response: I guess when a customer objects to your attempt to price gouge on a basic starter replacement the next move is to order wrong parts, not communicate any sort of timetable, and then break things as you see fit read more

Awesome customer service. I've come here a handful of times Antonio even checked out a car I bought for me on the spur of the moment. They are always going above and beyond and offer honest advice and honest services. I always feel like they have my best interest at heart. They are just good, honest people. Thank you Antonio and team!! read more

We have been experiencing some confusion on the battery of our Mazda. I went in just for a quote to see where we could move from there in order to find a solution. After getting differing options from both AutoZone and AAA , I just had to bring it into an actual mechanic. These guys were more than willing to scan for codes, check the voltage and even charge up my car battery for free (if I'd had cash I would have tipped)! After their speculation they advised me with a solution politely and in no time. Thanks guys read more

Service was great! I completely forgot to get my back breaks done before my trip the next day & I called to see if they had any last minute availability. They said no & I was about to hang up when the person on the phone asked the owner & ended up saying yes. I was there within 10mins. So nice, very fast, prices are reasonable! Def will be back!! Thank you so much! read more
