I took my car in because I had an oil leak, so I started off by getting the oil pan gasket fixed (I knew this was the problem from the start ) so they change it and tells me it's still leaking oil, then suggest a valve cover gasket. I do it then the car is still leaking oil. Dennis (the mechanic) recommends a rear main seal replacement but I don't do it and 6 months later I decide to get to the bottom of why my car is leaking oil and I see it's still the oil pan gasket so I decide to switch it out myself and i see how bad of a job these people did and tried to scam me into doing more work than needed. The oil pan gasket was the problem from the beginning I seen the gasket they used and it was a make your own gasket (later if silicone or something) very messy work some of the gasket was inside of the pan and inside the upper oil pan apart from that it was ripped and still leaking oil. Just be careful check your work before leaving the shop. I paid over $500 for the job to be done with very cheap materials. read more

I guess I was excited and wrote my review too soon. My AC worked amazing only on the day it was repaired 4/19/25. After that it was just shooting out air but never got cold no matter how long I let it run. I've been meaning to bring it back in but it's hard because they're closed Sunday and only open a few hours on Saturday. Weekdays they close at 3pm and I don't get off until 5pm. Finally brought it back 5/24/25. Left it there an hour while took a walk. Turns out that the part they replaced is leaking. He said they will repair it at no charge. I SHOULD HOPE SO!! I hope I didn't pay almost $800 to have AC for just one day. I'm supposed to take it back on Wednesday 5/28/25 so I'll follow up this review next weekend. read more

Saw the reviews for this place and decided to give it a try. 65$ for synthetic oil change when places like Pepboys were always charging me 90+. Honest, friendly, and quick service. Definitely recommend read more

Oh, they're just the greatest, and I think everyone knows it, already lol. They're pricing is fair, they're super patient in telling you exactly what's going on and what they're going to do (they'll even give you tips to keep your cost down). If there's a funny noise, someone may take a ride with you to pinpoint what it is. Tips: People really like them, so don't try to take your car in when a holiday is coming up- they won't even have time to talk. The earlier in the day, the better. They really do open at 7:30. Oil changes run about $60 and typically take an hour or two, given the first two tips apply. read more

I've been bringing my cars here for over 10 years. Dennis and Lee are great. They're honest about the work needed and the price is always fair. There's an open air waiting area in the shop if you need to stay and wait for repairs. It takes me a while before I trust an auto repair shop and I trust this one. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to not get ripped off. FYI: Google has never fixed the directions. The entrance is a small driveway off of Rosecrans (NOT Garfield). There's a sign for Ace Auto Care right next to the driveway on Rosecrans Ave. read more

1st. time customer. Had my Jeep towed by AAA to Dennis, I was afraid to drive it after a possible engine coil gave out. Went based off of his Yelp reviews. To say the least he did not disappoint I was so impressed by his prompt and professional service. Service received: diagnostic (less than 1 hour from time he received my car) 4 engine coils replaced (only 1 needed but I decided to replace all 4) Tune up, oil change! Thank you Dennis my car is running like new! read more

Just had my 4th car done. While they are way busier since my last visit (a good sign) they were fast and very professional. My other cars still have no bubbles or fading, worth the drive if you are not close. Skip the Groupon go direct. My whole car was done for $90. read more

Very reliable, ask for Dennis. He is very honest and will do his best to accommodate you. One of the best mechanics out there

Dennis and Lee are amazing. I was having trouble with the rear hatch on my car and had brought it to Ace to narrow down the issue. After speaking with Lee and Dennis, I felt confident leaving my car to be repaired. They quickly figured out what the issue was, ordered the part, and repaired the hatch. Very happy, will be recommending to my friends and family. read more

I have used Ace auto service in Paramount for the last couple of years. It had been highly recommended, and for good reasons: always fair prices, honest advices and fast service! Although I live 2 hours away, I wouldn't go anywhere else for my major repair read more

Been going to this place for over 10 years now. Mr. Lee and Dennis have always been honest and helpful. When I had my first car years ago, they checked my car and told me it was still under warranty. They saved me money and earned my trust. My cars have remained in excellent condition because I get them checked here regularly when I get my oil changes. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable mechanic shop. read more

Dennis is the best ever. I can trust him with my car whenever I have any issues. He's fixed my car after the starter was messing up when I tried doing it in my own (never doing that again). I've had my AC replaced and my belts replaced. He is the best mechanic I have ever been to and plan to only come here. Thank you so much Dennis! read more

My parent's stopped by there today after hearing a noise coming from the bottom of their car, they live in the Pomona area and were far away from their mechanic. The mechanics were really friendly and happy to help out my parents. They put my parents versa on a lift right away to check it out and it was missing 2 screws which was making the loud noise. These guys were super honest and helpful. Thank you guys for taking care of my parents, they are very thankful. read more

I have been coming to Ace Auto since 2004 and I will never go anywhere else. Lee and Dennis are honest businessmen skilled in the field of automotive. As a woman it's hard to go to a mechanic and not get told you need unnecessary work done on your vehicle and for many other Auto shops to jack the price up thinking you don't know anything. Ace Auto is very honest and does an excellent job and even follows up with you to tell you what's going on with your vehicle if you leave it there. I recommend this business to anyone and everyone. read more

When my favorite mechanic of all time closed in Long Beach I was DEVASTATED. So, on a whim, I tried Ace Auto and have been a loyal customer every since. Being a woman I already know how I am percieved when I walk into a place. Little do they know that my first car was an 82 Chevy Citation and through the trials and tribulations of that piece of SHIT I learned aaaaaalllllll about cars, the sounds they make and the things they put me through. THEREFOR, you can't hose me. lol. My test was this: take it in sounding like a total ditsy blonde- "OMG! My light is on and I am so scared!! What could it be!?!?!? I hope it isn't something serious!" A shady place would instantly bite, calling me back with an estimate higher than Tommy Chong. Dennis called back with, "you just needed an oil change. Car is ready for you." That was when I knew I found my home. Been going every since and refer anyone I can to them. :) XOXOX Love, Chandra read more

I was having a weird noise coming from the rear of my Chrysler 300. I thought it was either a bad wheel bearing or my differential going bad. Looked on yelp for an auto repair shop that was close to where I live and came across Ace Auto Services. Took my car over and talked to one of the mechanics(Asian guy) about the noise I was hearing. Right away he said he'd take a look at it. I gave him my keys he put my car on a lift with the rear end lifted so the car can run with wheels in motion. Another mechanic came over and grabbed a mechanics stethoscope and did his thing with the stethoscope for 30 seconds and figured out what it was. Turns out my axle bearing is what was making the noise and needs to be replaced. the first mechanic I spoke to got on the phone right away and 5 minutes later gave me a quote for the part and labor. $245 not bad at all. Plus they didn't charge me for them looking at my car. These guys know what they're doing and are super quick especially the Asian dude haha. If your looking for a good mechanic shop I recommend these guys. read more

I've been taking my moms car here for years and never had a problem. They are very up front, fair, and honest.

I went to this place since it had excellent reviews. My check engine light was on i already knew an oxygen sensor needed yo be replaced. So i called they told me to take it in sure enough they poped the hood check the engine and as they had already connected the obd2 and yes it was my oxygen sensor. The quoted me 195$ dollars. I needed to get it done asap so i agreed. Left the car there i Told them i had to go to work so i would pick it up after work they said sure no problem. When I'm at work i get a call saying that my car is done BUT they found that my radiator was cracked and that it was leaking coolant. I was like what? They checked the engine in front of me before i left the car there the engine and radiator were dry! They also told me that i needed to change my timing belt water pump and all the belts. If not my car was going to get damaged. So i asked how much for the extra work and parts? They told me that it was going to be an extra 1900$ dollars WTF! I said no leave it as it is I'll go pick it up. When i got there i looked at the engine and the radiator was wet with coolant all over and yes it was broken not cracked. They damaged it when they were changing the oxygen filter. They denied it. I drove off in my car and about 3 blocks away my car started smoking really bad. Called a tow truck towed it to my house. Got another mechanic to do the job and sure enough he confirmed that they broke it when the were changing the oxygen sensor. I will never use this place ever again. They are not honest do crappy work and lie to get more money out of you. BE CAREFUL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED..... read more

I've Never left reviews for anything! But I just had to leave one for this place. I've been getting oil changes here for a few years now. But I've had a few problems lately with my Xterra the first time I took it there I explained what was happening they said no problem they looked at it gave me a quote at first I thought it was a little high in price but after talking to a few ppl they was like nope that's pretty reasonable. Within a few hours they called to tell me my truck was ready for pickup! They even dropped me off and picked me up! That's good service to me. The other day I took my Xterra back for another repair they told me what was wrong and a price quote. I was like okay that's fine. Dennis called me and told me I can come pick my truck up it was ready but due to it being windy there credit card machine wasn't working and that it was okay to come back the next day to pay! Now if that's NOT GOOD PEOPLE to TRUST with your vehicle because they CLEARLY TRUST YOU! All I gotta say they do Good Work! And Trustworthy People! Thanks Dennis! read more

Top notch repairs done here!!! Great service and reasonable pricing!

If I could give no stars I would. Dennis the older man is an angel. Lee is the worst mechanic I've ever dealt with. He's extremely rude and doesn't listen to your concerns about the car that YOU drive. I brought my 2012 civic to ace because it was having issues which I think are electrical/emission and this place has good reviews. My car was overheating so I changed the radiator anyway out of paranoia because the car was not reading a code for it, after I changed my radiator my car started driving worse than it had ever driven. Lights all across my dash INCLUDING the TEMP hot light. My engine has now started to misfire, car wont start, rough idling, and horrible gas mileage I brought it back because I suspected the feel injectors need to be cleaned or replaced. I couldn't even get a word out before lee disregarded my concerns. Oh and if you have a job don't bring your car here unless you have someone to drop you off and pick you up. They expect you to leave your car all day and then pick it up after 8 hours and it drives exactly the same. I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN HERE AGAIN. please save your time and go somewhere else. MONEY TALKS BULLSH*T WALKS. I guess they don't want to get paid because I would've spent whatever to have my car back running. Now I'll be spending else where. read more

100% SATISFIED! Dennis is awesome he saw my car same day I called he was swamped with work but still managed to fix my chrysler 300c prices were very fair and the job was done in a very timely matter only a couple hours. This is exactly how a great mechanic should run their business I am now a new satisfied loyal customer. Thanks Denis and ACE auto care!! read more

I always come here for my routine service because it's near my work. I was surprised with the great service. They didn't try to rip me off like many other places do to a female customer. They were very honest and the service was done very quick. Owner and the mechanics were very kind. Price was good too. I recommended to all my coworkers and they were also satisfied at 100%. read more

Brought my BMW E46 M3 for inspection. Another shop estimated around $800 replace the front cross member. Ace auto found nothing wrong with it and made aligment for $65 with free inspection. also they told me to pay $65 in several days after i drive it and satisfy the service. Honest and highly skilled people and i was just so pleased for their professional service and integrity. read more

My mom first started going to Ace then when I got my car, I started going to them. 10 years later, I'm still going to them. Dennis and Lee are amazing honest people who you can trust not to screw over you. read more

I've been looking for an honest clean and fast service shop for about six years now and finally found the one I was looking for literally about 1 mile away from home, who knew it was right in front of my nose this whole time. Anyways I have been bringing my 08 Mitsubishi eclipse for scheduled tune ups and I have been a happy customer driving off all four times. They are fast and efficient and explain what kind of tune up you want without assuming and choosing for you. read more

Needed a smog check, in and out quick, waited about 20-30 minutes. Called a few places for price and they had the best I could find in area $45. They were super nice and noticed they offer other services as well. Definitely will be coming back! read more

I had the misfortune of having a shredded serpentine belt on the freeway Monday morning. I limped my car off and parked it. I was on my way from Costa Mesa to LA for work and had no idea where to go for repairs. I called a couple of places and then happened on to Ace Auto Service. Dennis provided me the name of a great tow company and, despite a small laundry list of parts needed to fix my Volvo (with 204,000 miles), they finished before closing that day and the price was super reasonable. I felt very lucky to have found these guys and wish they were nearer to my house - they'd be my go-to mechanics for sure. read more

When our business was located in Paramount, I was referred to Ace Auto by a friend. Didn't know what to expect, so I just got an oil change to test them out. They took care of it quickly and I felt like the price was very good. We started taking our service trucks there and were always pleased with the work and the costs. They have done major tune ups, rebuilt transmissions and suspension work on a number of cars and vans for us. Dennis, Lee and the crew do a great job and if something isn't right, they jump to make sure it is taken care of. Always have been good to work with for over 8 years. read more

I went to this place bacause of the great reviews here in yelp. My car was making a weird noise coming from the ride side of the engine. When i arrived they checked my car and went for a test drive so i can point out the noise i was refering to. Since the noise was very minor and didnt show signs of machanical failure they were really honest and told me that it is too early to diagnose the problem. The didnt charge me anything and advise that i came back if the problem gets worst. They really showed me how honest they are. read more
