I love coming here because they are fast and efficient. The only thing I would say its very hard to communicate with the staff they dont speak english and will tell you to call back or come back when the son is there. Which can be hard for someone. read more

When I am reminded that mechanics scam and try to upsell people, I think of Ken and how lucky I am. He is honest, practical and efficient. I've been going to him ever since I got my driver's license, and I still go to him for my automotive needs. Also, having employees stay there since I got my drivers license is a testament to this establishment. read more

See all

Best place to get oil change or anything checked for your car. The owner is korean and he's really quick to things and very honest and upfront! What I love about this owner is that he's not there to get your money! When i come to get my oil change, he will tell me upfront "go home- too many cars today" "come tomorrow".. just really honest! So i love his honesty with his work! and he's never there afterwards telling me all the things I "need" and "fix" for this car. He usually helps me out with all the changes I need in the car and even lets me know that I have several more months before changing the breaks or etc. I've also seen the owner help the elderly with really old cars who physically doesn't seem to have much... help them out with the car and let them know it's on him and tell them "God Bless You". It's just little gestures I witness when I'm here that makes me feel like its an honest place to get your car work done. read more

These guys even sold me a $400 part that was the wrong part for my car! DON'T NOT USE THESE GUYS! They have no clue read more

I took my car in for a new alternator after the battery wouldn't hold a charge anymore. The AAA tech who towed it assured me his tests showed it was not the battery itself but the car's charging system that was failing. A&J, on the other hand, said the alternator was fine and that I simply needed a new battery. So, $200 later, I left with a new battery. Sure enough, a week later the car wouldn't start. I took it back to A&J and was charged $400 for a new alternator. When I reminded the owner Ken that I'd already told him I had originally wanted the alternator replaced I got no apology, no admission of error, no refund for the now-dead $200 battery he'd sold me, and no "dedicated, 20-year customer discount" or any other compensation. Ken and A&J have lost a very faithful customer, but have now gained a bad rating on Yelp. read more

They charged me double of what the repair on my car would cost elsewhere. They were close to my house, so it was easy to tow, but I really regret it. As a female that did not speak their language, I was ignored for several minutes standing out in the sun. I hate to sound ignorant, but it was very difficult communicating with them, and I did observe the men and women were treated with respect and were welcomed into his office to wait and chat while their cars were being worked on that did speak the same language. When I asked them to reset the service light, he told me to "hold on" and continued to laugh and chat with his peer in his office. I would not recommend coming here. The price was inflated, and the employees didn't seem to know what they are doing. They just stood around and smoked. read more

Ken was fast and friendly. Was having an urgent but minor issue and his team took care of it with little wait time. Can't recommend enough. Super reasonable pricing for the work that was done. read more

Are you looking for that one neighborhood mechanic that is honest, straightforward, good pricing, and does the job right the first time? I was but now I found it at A & J Auto Repair. It's hard to find independent shops like this these days. I'm so happy to have found them. All the times I have brought my cars here, I always feel confident in A&J. The owner and workers are friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you A&J! read more

Only came here once to get a car repaired, within a month of it being fixed, problem returned. Also thought the repair was kind of expensive compared to other places. Couldn't find my receipt for the repair so never took it back. Considering problem returned so soon, don't think they actually repaired it, I believe they just did some patch up work instead of what I actually paid for. read more

Me and my whole family bring our cars here. Very honest and fairly priced. I've gotten many repairs on my car here. I always leave feeling confident I went to the right place. read more

I have been going to this shop for over 15 years. I trust them completely. I like that they take me seriously as a woman. They are fair and always make time for me. They are honest and will tell me if it is something that the dealer should work on or if I should buy a dealer part. Way to go Parvinder and guys. I would recommend them anytime read more

He is very honest and will tell you if you really don't need to fix something yet. Prices are great, I shopped around, A & j was the most competitive. I went a few years without a mechanic I could trust and bring all of my cars to. I am so glad I found A & j. read more

Great service, fast, and very well priced. Appreciate the quick and efficient work. the Park family is fantastic, a true gem in Gardena.

I will say this , I will never go back to A&j auto repair again. Because I do not trust them. and if you are a lady bring a man with you that know about cars if you don't they will take your money and not fix want you asked for them to repair. just dirty .. read more

I came here after my cars break light stayed on and wouldn't turn off even after turning the car off. Left the car there, ubered it home, had them call me when the work was done, paid a good rate and that was that. I really like this shop and they've gained a new loyal customer. Will be going to them this month! read more

I was recommended by my friend about A&J auto body. I usually get aftermarket parts for my brakes and rotors, so I came here at A&J to get it done. Usually big corp companies do not install parts for you. And the usual body shops will charge you somewhere between $100-$150 for installation of your own parts. But here, the owner is really all about service and honesty. He only charged me labor, which is $60 for front brake jobs (new rotor+pads installation) that was it. I just ordered my parts by shopping on line, and bring those parts here to get them installed. Usually if you do thensame job around your local body shops, it will cost about $500 If you go to dealership, it will cost somewhere between $700-$800..depending on what model and brand your car is. By finding the best realiable,competitive, and compatible brake kits online and then installing them forn$60, I was able to save over $140 to local body shops. Even more, i saved more than $500 compared to dealerships. this was my 2nd visit to A&J , and I already got my rear brake jobs done here a year ago...it still works great on my 2008 Lexus GS350. I will definately visit near future to get additional honest work done. Thank you A&J! read more

A & j Auto Repair - Kinda dirty office, but they are kind and trustworthy! - Auto Repair Near Me - Gardena, California

Great service! My car broke down at 6pm and they towed it to the shop, repaired it, and I was able to pick it up by 4pm the next the day. Eddie was kind and gave me a fair price. read more

I've been here several times here to get my car fixed and I don't think I will be going back again. People are nice and they seem to be honest. However, based on my experience, it seems like their biggest downside is their lack of skills. They are very much just an average mechanics in your area, but with no other special skills. They may be good at fixing general stuff which any other mechanics can do, but it seems like they struggle and have a really hard time trying to fix something that is complicated. Further, when it comes to price, it's wasn't cheap. I wouldn't say they are ripping you off, but it's not cheap compared to other mechanics I've been to. So for an average so-so mechanic with a price that is not so competitive, I don't really see a reason why I should go again. read more

I usually get my car serviced at the dealership so when I took my silver tacoma to south bay toyota for a routine oil change and told me that I needed about $3000 in repairs, i was shocked. Of course they say never trust mechanics and so i went to a&j for a second opinion. They told me that my car didn't need the service done for ay least another 50,000 miles. Ever since then, a&j has taken care of the service on the tacoma and i've never had a single problem. read more

First time with the garage but they provided great service and was able to repair my car same day!

They have fixed 2 issues with my cars for a fraction of what other dealerships or mechanics would have charged. I bring my car there and they immediately look at the issue. When the part came in, I brought the car back and again they looked at it immediately. In and out in 15 minutes. Can't even get a prescription at cvs in that amount of time. Also, he turned on some cartoons for my toddler, going the extra mile. I will always come here for any issue big or small #bestmechanicinharrisonburg read more

Excellent Service! Had a brake job & fuel injection problems and it was fixed in a timely manner. And not over priced.

My prayers have been answered! People of the world, unite and look no further for the most honorable and best repair shop in the world!!! I have given up on my previous mechanic in Carson, who'd had been servicing my family's cars for years. One day I needed service and I felt as if they tried to fix the problem, when in fact they made more problems!!! I felt like I was just a number waiting for repairs when I went into that Carson repair shop, and that wasn't the first time feeling their greed!!! Believe me l, it was escalating to the point where I was about to file with the BBB!!!... Thanks to my friend at work, he told me to call his one and only excellent mechanic, Ken, owner of A & J in Gardena. I did immediately and they were able to repair my car expeditiously and honestly!!! What a far cry from my ex-mechanic in Carson, who told me there were many problems with my car and they needed more time?! A & J repaired my car in less than 1 hour!!! Now, my 2003 Chevy feels As if I driving a new car!!! I can't express the gratitude enough that I have for A & J: all the mechanics and staff are people friendly as if I've known them for years!!! One special trait is Ken listens to your questions and concerns and follow through with professionalism and knowledge!!! Anyone who needs an honest and intelligent mechanic , ask for Ken, he has an awesome team of mechanics! Teamwork = Success!!! From the bottom of my heart, I am thankful that I have found A & J read more

I have been driving for 28 years now so I've been to numerous auto shops throughout my cars. But this shop is the only honest and good mechanic I've been to. There were a couple of instances where I brought in my car to the shop and the owner was honest enough to tell me nothing was wrong with my car. And the price is always competitive and he clearly mentions about whether he uses genuine or compatible parts he uses for repair. Stop taking your cars to stealers and bring your car here. Highly recommended!!! read more

Good job. I came here to fix my brake lights. The owner fixed it in less than 5 minutes for a 10 dollars charge. Good work done.

This is the place to go for your car needs. Integrity, honesty and prompt work. Look no where else!

I've been going to A&J for over 10 years. They are HONEST. There are many mechanics out there that will recommend needless repairs. There are others that won't outright lie or rip you off, but they'll make sure to line their pockets. A&J is as honest as they come. They've even recommended buying parts from third parties when it's considerably cheaper than buying from them. The owner is honest and competent. Highly recommended. read more

Buying a used or salvaged vehicle can be a stressful experience, and like most people would be, I was apprehensive about purchasing the 2016 Subaru that I discovered on A & J's website. Luba, however, the owner of A & J Auto Sales on Alder Avenue, provides a 30-day warranty for her vehicles, and she stands behind that warranty. After discovering we had an issue with the bumper and an electrical issue, we brought the car back to A & J, and even though her technician couldn't figure out the problem, she sent the car to an electrical specialist. Luba had both problems corrected promptly, even thought is was a few days after the warranty, she did not charge us anything.. It was a sincere pleasure doing business with her, which is in my experience, a rare occurrence in the used auto industry. I highly recommend purchasing your next vehicle through Luba and A & J! A word of caution; There are two A & J Auto Sales in Sacramento. This review is for the one on Alder Ave. read more
