"This is hands-down the most honest, big-hearted car care team in LA! Carlos and JC went above and beyond to accommodate my brother and I, and their integrity is rare. While another shop tried to upsell me on a $1,000+ repair I didn't need, these guys saved us over $1,000 by being honest. They truly care about their customers and don't judge or overcharge. If you want trustworthy, loving people who know their stuff, this is your place!" By the way, my car is running FANTASTIC! Sincerely, Jim C. read more

I drive four and a half hours roundtrip just to see Carlos (the owner) and Juan Carlos (the master mechanic)--they're that good. A childhood friend recommended them, and his family has trusted this shop since before he was even born. Like with any shop, major repairs can be pricey, but Carlos always takes the time to walk through the best options based on your needs. If you stay on top of maintenance, you'll save yourself from bigger repairs down the road. What really sets them apart is trust. I've never been upsold on something unnecessary, and I always leave knowing I was genuinely taken care of. Mechanics who truly put their customers first are rare--and this is one of those places. read more

Carlos and his team are professional, honest, and caring. Felt at ease and comfortable with the first contact. They took great care of our daughter's car. Let us know if everything that needed to be done. It was affordable (as promised by the name of their shop), prompt, and no surprises. Highly recommend! read more

I rarely write reviews for non-food establishments but felt compelled to write about my experience. I was told that my front alignment was severely damaged. Being new to the city, I was recommended this place by a friend. I called the owner, Carlos on a Friday and was told to bring the car in on the following Monday. The mechanic(s) fixed it within 2 hours - I just walked to the Starbucks next door to get some work done in the meantime. When it was finished, Carlos walked over and let me know it was finished. It was the smoothest process and the customer service was absolutely incredible. I felt I could truly trust this shop and will recommend it to all my friends around the area. I'll also be taking my car here if anything else is needed. read more

Affordable Care made everything so easy! It was super simple to get an appointment, and their prices were very reasonable. They helped us out tremendously with my husband's Jeep, and we couldn't be more grateful. The staff is kind, professional, and prompt and they communicate so well throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them if you're looking for honest and efficient service! read more

Such great quality help! Carlos was quick to respond and take my car in. He was thorough and explained every process. The prices were affordable and I look forward to continuing coming here for anything else. I came here for brake pad issue and due to the amazing service I figured I'd get my oil changed here as well. Not only was it quick but well done it was reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

If you pay cash you don't receive a receipt, if you need a receipt, you need to pay for it. The most absurd "policy" I've heard of. 0 stars ! read more

Recently I had the good fortune to have a headlight out, or so I thought! I needed a repair and a tire check, to be sure I was operating safely. I happened to see Carlos pop up as nearby with fantastic reviews. Luckily it turned out that my headlight just needed an adjustment, and my tires were ok. Carlos was kind, respectful, and had everything checked properly, then made sure to answer my questions and I appreciated it. He made me a delightful cup of hot Cocoa, and had me safely back out the door soon. I highly recommend. read more

These people really do their due diligence and make sure their customers know what they are getting themselves into before starting work on the car, which I wholeheartedly appreciate. I was having issues with my car and got it fixed here, they were so easy and on time with what they needed to do which I appreciated. Grateful to have found them! (I will not discuss prices because I have absolutely no idea cars and what they should cost.) read more

I got my tran fluid checked. Very friendly guys, didnt try to sell me anything i didnt need. Got my inspection done very fast and told me downsides and upsides. Pretty cheap price for a quick inspection. read more

I recently had my Honda repaired and they did a great job. The owner and crew are really helpful, friendly and do great work at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Dishonest mechanics. I went in for my check engine light on reading for the EGR Valve. I replaced the valve but the light stayed on. Went to this mechanic and they said it was my cars computer being faulty. They took out my original computer and put in a used one. As I drove off the check engine light came back on. I immediately turned around and told him, and he explained that he'll have to take another look at it. But I told him since it wasn't the computer, my old computer (which he tried keeping) was good. I told him if I can have my old computer back and he said yes. Pretty sure they resell them. Didn't come back. Went to another mechanic and he told me all it was the EGR Vacuum. It needed replaced. A small part next to the EGR Valve. Simple and affordable fix. I spent hundreds here without a fix. And my other mechanic said any decent mechanic would've known. And he doesn't know why they would even take out my cars computer without checking the Vacuum first. Don't recommend. I've warned ya read more

Star-date 09/14/2021 Year and a half later, car is still running great and the replacement motor is perfect. Got a front wheel bearing going out now, at 160K miles, so will set up an appointment for that. Great shop! read more

Great job ! They checked my car and gave me the diagnosis. After this, they gave me my options to have the car fixed the same day. My car felt like brand new! read more

This place is great. I needed a headlight bulb in my Subaru Forester replaced. Carlos and his mechanic really went out of their way to help me get this fix without questions. Will definitely be going back here. Thanks Carlos! read more

I was a new customer doing a 50K maintenance. Great team, Carlos the owner, and Isaac his lead staff (all staff has been with Carlos for over 25 yrs. which says something). Both were very helpful. Most of his business is referrals. I'll return. read more

The whole entire Affordable Care team has been my goto for years and Carlos JG and Israel all do great work across the board whether it is upkeep on the automotive vehicles and even body work. read more

Carlos and his team, including Juan and Issac, did fantastic work on my 2009 Hyundai Genesis. A balloon in my tire was causing my car to shake and Carlos diagnosed it quickly. I am especially grateful to Carlos for taking the time to explain what he found while servicing my car. This is increasingly rare in the automotive industry, and I commend Carlos and his team for taking the extra time and care with me and my car. I chose this autorepair based on its reviews,  proximity to me, and its prices. But, rest assured, you have found an honest mechanic in Carlos and his team. Affordability does not compromise workmanship here! If only I had more stars to give! Thank you Carlos. Keep up the fantastic work read more

The owner is nice. I took my car for transmission fluid flush. I like him as he is honest to time. But I have not done anything else yet.

These guys are the best! My husband and I have older Honda vehicles. Stacey, Charlie and the crew over here are knowledgable, honest, dependable and explain everything clearly and concisely. They know their stuff and respect their customers. I just brought my car over here to have it checked before taking it on a road trip. Got an oil change and had a tire plugged because they found a nail in it. Knowing these guys makes me feel like I live in a small town (in the best way, where people are accountable and care). Thanks, guys!!!! read more

Listen, this is the best out there. Carlos is a true professional and KNOWS HIS CRAFT! My 09 maxima looks better than when I drove it off the lot! With a baby on the way, Carlos made sure my process was as stress free as possible and even drove me home when I couldn't get a ride! I thank the good lord for sending me a mechanic who is for the People first, may God Bless his body shop just like Carlos blessed me with his hard work, and more importantly, his friendship. Thank you Carlos! 25 GOLD STARS! Donny Londono 2009 Nissan Maxima Body Work North Hollywood, CA read more

Carlos knows what he is talking about. Very fair price for high quality work. Highly recommended if you are looking for a trustworthy shop with good people. He fixed my Acura RDX after an accident and it looks good as new. read more

I'm Julie's husband and she just turned me on to Yelp. Affordable Care specializes in Honda vehicles and the owner is Carlos. He used to work at a Honda dealer until he opened up his own shop over 15 years ago. He's been working on my cars over 10 years. He serviced my 1983 Honda Prelude which I drove over 200k miles and now I take my 1999 Honda Accord to his place. This car currently has 186k miles on it and still rides smooth. Carlos is a honest businessman and never tries to upsell services you don't need. His rates are probably about 20% cheaper than the Honda dealerships. The biggest plus with Carlos is that I've never had to take my car back the next day after getting it serviced. You guys know what I mean. Carlos' team does quality work. The only downside to Affordable Care is their hours. They open 8 to 5 Monday through Friday and are only open 8 to 12 every other Saturday, so be prepared to miss some work. It's worth it though. read more

Let me put it this way, I love this place so much Im writing this while my cars in the shop, simply because I should've done this a long time ago. Carlos and his crew are the best. I could give many examples, but I'll highlight the fact that our Kia Optimas engine blew, 2 months after paying it off, and after the warranty expired. Most mechanics would've smelled blood in the water and feasted. Carlos gave me great advice and gave me the confidence to call Kia and convince them to replace the engine for free. They even ended paying us for our troubles. Who does that? Carlos does. That's who. From oil changes to blown engines. He will not steer you wrong. I was in the market for an SUV recently and legit factored Carlos in to the process. Like I almost bought another Kia because I only want Carlos Working on my cars. Thank you Carlos read more

I'm so happy with the service and job they did on my Acura. They replaced the computer and fixed my ac. Their rates are great and the service was amazing! I highly recommend them as they're very trustworthy and honest. read more

I had been quoted at lexus 5,500 work of work on my 130k mile car and Carlos was able to do it all for 3,500 so it saved me a lot of money for quality work! I highly recommend for honest work. read more

For 2+ years I've been dealing with other mechanics that do you dirty just to get money out of you're pocket! Juan and His team are the best you can get! Trust worthy mechanics that are looking to fix you're car in your best interests. Please consider their business very professional. Thank you Juan! read more

Carlos is great! Fast service! I always take my Acura to him for anything it needs. I'll call him in the morning and he's always busy but somehow gets time to do a million cars a day! Honestly, I was there today and there were 2 other people waiting for their car. I got transmission fluid change in 45 minutes. You can trust him! He has great prices too! Very sweet guy :) Also Starbucks is like 1 min walk away for your short wait! read more

I have been going to this place for over 20 years and never had any issues or problems. Carlos is the best. His prices and work can't be beat. I know when I come here I can trust him and get great work. I took my car to Hammer Honda (first time in 20 years going to dealership) big mistake. I left with a 1k bill and bad work. I own 3 Japanese cars 2 Honda Accords and a Toyota Camry. I have always gone to Carlos for all maintenance and repairs. I will continue to do so for years to come. Thanks Carlos and staff read more

Very nice people here. I didnt have any work done here but Carlos was very professional and helpful. He even gave me a ride home when her definitely did not have to. Thank you Carlos. read more

Carlos, the owner, is real friendly and honest. Definitely cheaper than the dealer and you get piece of mind that you're care was serviced. The place is small with big jobs performed. Highly recommended. read more

I've been going here for all my car needs for almost two years now. Every experience has been great. Carlos and his staff treat me like a daughter. It's easy to make an appointment, the service is fast and affordable, ands it's just all around a great shop I highly recommend it ! read more

This place is great! The guy who runs the front office is genuinely nice and helpful. And the technician is quick and thorough. Plus the prices are amazing. I almost don't want to leave the review because I don't want people to find out about this gem. read more

I had a great experience with Carlos and his reliable shop. He gave me great advice on how to get the most out of pretty much anything. Once they get your car, they work their magic and get it back to you as soon as possible. Definitely sooner than I expected! 100% recommend. read more

Walked In Today (Sat. 11/30) At About 11:15am & Asked If They Could Squeeze Me In For An Oil Change; Thank My Lucky Stars My Prayers Were Answered. ABOVE ANY Place I've Ever Done Business With; Carlos & Affordable Care Are HEAD & SHOULDERS Above The Rest! read more

So lucky I found this place. Carlos is such a humble and honest guy. I went to a mechanic and they told me my Honda Civic had a blown head gasket. I recently just purchased it. Not feeling to sure I went to Carlos who informed me it was my ignition coils. I decided to go ahead and let Carlos and his crew work on my car. They also went ahead and fixed my thermostat which wasn't functioning properly. The costs to fix the problems were affordable. Not to mention they fixed everything within a day. Carlos is really a lifesaver and saved me money. read more

I'm glad that this establishment is getting great reviews, and it rightfully deserves so ...I've been bringing my '07 Honda Civic here since I bought it a couple of years ago and the service from Carlos and his crew have been nothing but great. Fast and reliable not to mention their reasonable price (Synthetic-blend Penzoil Oil Change Service for just $26!) ...I brought my car here for the 60,000 mile tune-up last year and it's been running smoother than ever! ...Personally, I really don't like reviewing places where I'm a regular, cause it can backfire, now that people know where to go, there's a chance it may get very busy and should be harder to set appointments. But then It's kind of defeating the whole purpose of Yelping, if I can't offer help by not expressing my opinion/experience. So reader: consider yourself enlightened! read more

this place has been a life saver for me. I'm of the 'don't acknowledge it and perhaps it will go away' school of car repair, but affordable care has helped me with my car neuroses. I drive a hand-me-down 97 Honda Accord with 230,000 miles on it - and since I started commuting from silverlake to santa monica for work I have come to affordable care several times, for alternator, battery, brakes... every time the car was fixed super-quick, it didn't break the bank, and they let me know what was really going on under there. As a car ignoramus I highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Carlos at Affordable Care for almost fifteen years now. They always do a great job and Carlos always explains what the problems are if anything needs to be fixed. I trust Carlos in a way I don't trust the people at the service departments at either Honda of Hollywood or Robertson Honda. He also charges much less for the same repairs and maintenance. I've owned three different Hondas in the time I've been going to him and have never had any trouble with any of the work he's done on any of them. read more

I have a 1997 Toyota Corolla with over 175,000 miles on it. Carlos has been taking care of my car for atleast 4 years now. I'm your typical "girl" who is clueless about cars and Carlos always explains the problems/procedures/etc to me. He has never taken advantage of my lack of knowledge nor has he overcharge me for anything (I show my bf the invoice). Carlos and his staff are very helpful and friendly. I also love this place because I can just walk down to Starbucks while I wait for my car to be fixed. There are also other food places around the area which is very convenient. Once I buy a new car, will most likely purchase a japanese car only cus I already have Carlos as my mechanic and I really don't trust others. Keep up the great job Carlos and staff. read more
