Cesar is the best mechanic my family and I have ever had. We have been coming to him for about 3 years and have been fully satisfied with his work. He is a very honest man and answers all questions thoroughly. The prices are extremely affordable!! CESAR is irreplaceable, highly recommended.

For all your car needs! Seriously! No need to go anywhere else! I took my car to a Toyota Dealer to get the 20k service for my 2017 Toyota Rav4. I asked them to check out a metal sounding noise coming from the front wheels, which i assumed were the brakes. The reps there told me that i had "plenty of time left before having to replace my brake pads" (at least till my 25k service) and that they couldn't replicate the noise. Fast forward just a couple of months and i was hearing the same noise but way more prominent. I came to Whittier Tire Zone on Painter and it turns out my brake pads needed to urgently be replaced because they were at less than 20%!! Cesar was honest, fair, and very detail oriented. You will not be disappointed!!!

Excellent service and honest quotas. I highly recommend it.I been a client for the last 5 years, I bring my car for tune up and general check ups, and I always get great service. They keep my car working properly, which is a peace of mind.

Cesar has helped me so much with my car! Every time I do my oil change he makes sure to check my whole car, from breaks to A/C. Moving from a different city, i was so afraid of trusting someone with my car but he makes me feel so comfortable. I don't think I have ever trusted someone with my car as much as I trust him. read more

I was a bit of a jam. I took my son to the DMV in Whittier today for his behind the wheel drivers test. Mind you the night before my mechanic checked over my whole car lights, brake lights, etc. he assured my car was ready to go. Well when my son was ready to take his test the right brake light was out. I told the instructor if there was a manager I could talk to the manager told me if I could get it fixed in an hour we could come back and take the test. I took my car to Cesar at Whittier Tire Zone what a first gentleman this guy was I told him my situation and he fixed my light in less then 10 minutes. And we went back and my son passed his test. Thank you so much Cesar a real good guy for the Whittier Community. I recommend him 10000%. If you need anything auto repair, smog check, tires etc. go see Cesar a really true honest gentleman. read more

I have been trying to look for a good mechanic for a while now and my uncle recommended this place. Awesome service, Cesar asked me questions about my jeep before he worked on it so he could figure out what was wrong and they even showed me where my car was leaking from. They gave me a great deal for breaks and an oil change! I'll definitely be coming back soon. He also pointed out some other things that needed to be fixed asap! I use to go to Goodyear and I'm sure if I would of gone with them, they would of charged me double of what I payed . I find it a little funny that Goodyear had "thrown" in some brake fluid for free when I got a lot of stuff done to my car and the guys here found it contaminated :/ Sorry Goodyear , you've been replaced ! read more

I first started to take my vehicles to Tire Zone for repair and maintenance a couple of years ago and I can not recommend anyone higher. Caesar and his crew are honest and fair. They do not try to sell you on things you do not need, unlike a lot of other auto repair shops in the area. What I am most impressed with is that they stand behind their work. I have had a lot of major and minor work done on my truck and my son's car by Tire Zone and have always been more than happy with the results. On the rare occasion that there was a problem, all I had to do is bring the vehicle back and they made it right in a timely manner, no questions asked. They also get me in and out fast for those dreaded smog checks. I know my way around under the hood and have seen many other shops take advantage of those who don't. This is a repair shop that you can trust and also have competitive rates. read more

This place is terrible. They charge you 51.75 for a smog check, do not offer free retest if pass. Made me wait in their dirty, hot waiting room for over an hour (they said 30 minutes) to fail me. When I asked why they said they were experiencing equipment issues. Really? Then they wanted to charge me another $51.75 for the retest. STAY AWAY. read more

Ladies, Honesty Mechanic Here!!!…read more Ladies in Whittier (and surrounding areas), if you're tired of mechanics trying to upsell unnecessary repairs or overcharge because they assume you won't know better--this family-owned spot is a total game-changer! Whittier Auto Garage (13419 Lambert Rd) is owned by Arturo, who runs it with his helpful daughter at the front desk. They're straightforward, hardworking, and genuinely honest--no pressure, no BS. I had my brakes done today, and the service was excellent, prices fair, and everything explained clearly and respectfully. This place gets tons of praise for integrity, fair pricing, and treating customers right (especially women who want to feel safe and not taken advantage of). Quick work, quality repairs, and a welcoming vibe. If you're looking for a trusted, honest auto shop that won't take advantage of you, go see Arturo and his team at Whittier Auto Garage. 10/10--I'll be back!
