Robert and his team at Arcadia Service Center are the absolute best. Robert is always incredibly helpful, accommodating, and honest -- which is rare when it comes to car service. I've been coming here for years and trust them with all of my car needs. It's not easy to find a mechanic you can truly rely on, but Robert never tries to upsell, cheat, or charge for anything you don't need. His prices are fair (honestly some of the best around), and the work is always done right. He's the only person I go to for my cars. If you're looking for a trustworthy, no-nonsense service center, this is the place. Highly recommend. read more

Arcadia Service Center - Auto Repair Near Me - Arcadia, California

Still five stars. My husband brought in our old Hyundai Tucson for a brake light repair and this shop has been outstanding in their customer service and very fairly priced. As long as we are close to them, we will never take our car to anyone else. Highly recommended. read more

One of the FEW honest shops repairing automobiles. Like Southwest Airlines always says, "We know you have a choice when it comes to selecting the airline you fly with." They repair and charge fairly for the maintenance required. In the four years they've been servicing my 12 year old Chevy Cruze they have NEVER done a needless repair. read more

No one wants to spend money on a new transmission. Sammy and crew made it as good of a situation as possible. I am so glad friends recommmend them, and will take my car back in the future when needed. Hospitality in action, with every interaction. Clear communication around what needed to happen, timeline, and cost. Car was ready before promised date. I am super grateful. read more

Get service highly recommend. Make sure you have time this is not a quick in and out spot. They take their time and give quality service.

It's not always easy to find an honest auto repair shop, but Arcadia Service Center is the place to go for quality service at a fair price. I first visited last year after other shops told me I needed major AC work--ASC was able to fix the issue for a fraction of the cost. Every time I bring in my 2016 Subaru, they service it, give me a clear update on how it's running, and let me know if there are any issues--without pressure. I really appreciate that they let me decide what to do. On my last visit, I went in for routine maintenance. They noticed I hadn't been driving much, checked the car, and let me know I didn't need an oil change yet--then sent me on my way. That kind of honesty is rare and so appreciated! FYI: If you pay in cash, you can save on the small fee charged for credit card payments. read more

We've been here several times, and every visit has been excellent. The team is always professional, trustworthy, and helpful. Most recently, we brought our car in last minute for a checkup before a road trip, and they fit us in without any trouble and charge us a very reasonable rate. Highly recommended! read more

The best car service place around!!! Always professional and able to fix any issues I have with my car and promptly. Robert the boss is the man, great guy and always has a smile and something nice to say. Can't thank him and the guys at Arcadia Service Center enough, 10/10. read more

This shop damaged my axle CV boot after doing a wheel bearing replacement. My axle started leaking grease shortly after them working on it. They denied damaging the boot despite even saying it doesn't look like what they usually see on damaged CV axle boots. The marks on the CV boot perfectly align with the shock mount, which can never hit the CV axle unless it's free to move, like during a repair. I'm never going back here. I'd recommend to avoid this place because I see other reviews of them damaging parts during their repair. They also lied to me once over the phone when they said the tech had my car on the lift and was working on it during the wheel bearing repair. I went for a walk shortly after the phone call and passed by the shop and my car was in the same parking spot when I first dropped it off. At that moment I should have canceled the repair cause this is what happened. If a mechanic lies to you once, leave immediately. read more

I have multiple older cars that I am preparing to make a 1980's short film in 2026 and am getting these cars in order. I know just enough about automobile repair to get in trouble and have a need to take these special cars to top tier shops. I am enthusiastic about working with this shop. I really liked my encounters with both Roberts the service advisor and the main mechanic and can get a sense that they are doing what's in my best interest as a customer and I appreciate working with them as they come across as honest and good people. This is very refreshing in this day and age. read more

Very simply: they solved a problem that two other shops couldn't. My Lexus developed an intermittent rattling sound. I took it to two other independent Lexus specialists, and one after another they both failed to diagnose the source of the problem. After another month of living with the noise, I got fed up and took it to Arcadia Service Center, which happens to be the shop closest to me out of all three. They do not claim to specialize in Toyota/Lexus, therefore it was not at the top of my mind. Later that day, after what I suppose was a more meticulous diagnostic process than performed elsewhere, they figured out the issue (bad alternator) and fixed it by next day. Noise is gone. I couldn't be more pleased. Cherry on top: Very friendly and easy to deal with. Quick appointment availability. I will be a returning customer. read more

Samy and his workers are great. We have been taking our cars for maintenance at the Arcadia Service Center for more than 20+ years. Personnel and owner are knowledgeable, friendly, and provide great customer service. read more

called because they were an AAA approved garage. was quoted $200.00 "out the door" for a new battery. showed up next morning and waited for them to open not 7 as add shows but 8 am. I was first, discovered they do not sell AAA batteries, but "a better mfg". And the price was $25,00 more. ok I'm here now, so I said ok. then they discovered that my battery terminal ends need replacing, another $60.00 I said OK. another 1/2 hour or so, all set to go $356.12 when I presented my credit card they said "oh there is a service charge for using your card. I did not have that much cash on me, and no checkbook, so I paid another $14.21 for a credit card service charge. I was so upset that I forgot to ask for my AAA discount. I should have been told up front about that charge. I don't remember seeing any sign in the office regarding this surcharge. buyer beware, ask up front about surcharge, read more

Best place to I have three cars and bringing it here for years. Everyone cares and this is one place you can trust the owner is so friendly and honest. I highly recommend you coming here read more

Sammy and his guys are always friendly, and they keep me posted on any repairs I might need when I bring my car in for maintenance. I trust their work and they charge a fair price. A friend recommended them at least 7 years ago and I've been very satisfied with their service. read more

Everyone here is super friendly and honest. Probably one of the best spots to take your car in SGV.

My mechanic was totally booked and could not take my car so I asked who they would recommend and the told me Arcadia service center! Great recommendation! They were honest and did an awesome job on my car! Reliable and convenient!! Thank you ASC!! read more

I have been getting my family's cars maintenance done here for a few times. All I would say is Robert is a professional, I'll keep bring my cars here for any service. Highly recommend read more

Honest, quality, and friendly service. Samy and his team of mechanics are the best. They won't lie or try to upsell you on things you don't need. They stand by their work. They get busy at times, but that's because of their reputation and longevity in the community. read more

Outstanding service, on-schedule, quality work. Every. Single. Time. No one looks forward to car trouble or even routine maintenance, but I've received both at Arcadia Service Center, and on each occasion the job was performed within the time and cost estimates given. Samy and his team are efficient and honest. I have been here for brakes, alignment, tires, and other automotive mysteries... each time, they have resolved the issues with no problems. Excellent communication from start to finish, and direct, non-nonsense service. Bonus: the shop is next to a nice donut shop. Just sayin... I hope my truck and Jeep never breakdown. I also hope that I win the lottery, dig up a chest of gold coins in my backyard, and wake up to find I grew six-pack abs in my sleep. When hope fails, trust and integrity need to pick up the slack-- this shop has both, and is my go-to. Should be yours, too. read more

I had some weird thing happening with our Ford Escape. I don't have the body to do a lot of car work anymore, so I took it back to ASC because I trust them. I thought maybe something was happening with the brakes, turned out every tire was shredded on the inside. We bought it from a very sketchy used Ford dealer called DCH Ford. New issues keep popping up with this car ever since we bought it. Anyway, took it to Arcadia Service Center this morning and Robert had the new tires on and checked my alignment, and it was all done about 2pm. Do yourself a favor, go to ASC. They're the best I've found in my decades of dealing with mechanics. read more

Everyone hates going to the mechanic, amirite? It's like going to the doctor, you're afraid to find out how much the diagnosis is and how bad the situation is with your car. Luckily, I found this shop through Yelp and was able to get my husband's car towed here. The diagnosis ended up not being too expensive and the job was done by the end of the day. The guys at the shop were super helpful as well. I'm so glad to have found a local repair shop in the area. read more

I cannot thank them enough. Someone bought me a new Kia at the end of 2018. Recently I was going to work and it seemed to be lose speed, or power. I wasn't near home. AAA suggested I bring it here so I did. After a while, I was getting antsy, thinking they should have told me something by now. Finally, the mechanic came out holding some papers and said you can't drive it, the engine is dead.' I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. (I'm BROKE.) He did a great job calming me, assuring me that I was going to be okay. He told me that kia had recalled these engines! Said that they Had to fix it. I replied that my warranty had expired. He showed me some papers that he had printed and stapled together and said this is your get out of jail free card. The print out was illegible. But he said the mechanics would know that the engine had a warranty extension due to a manufacturing issue. I really thought the dealer would find a way to make it my fault. These guys saved me $5000. They saved my a$$. THANK YOU. read more

I took my car for maintenance based on the reviews. Service was quick for a weekday and I didn't wait too long. After a few weeks, my oil light kept coming on and I took my car to another mechanic down the street since ASC was busy. The mechanic said the oil filter was not tighten and it was leaking. He also said I was missing the under panel so I had order a new one. It's a nice shop, but maybe I just have some bad luck that day. read more

I am in charge of onboarding for my company and I always let new folk know I recommend Samy and Robert. I feel welcome and cared for, my vehicles looked at and maintained with great integrity and my team shares that impression and experience. I'm a single mom with three kids and it means a great deal to be able to trust Samy and his team to keep me able to commute to work from OC and keep my family safe at rates that I can afford on my limited budget. Before I get too emotional let me say, I continue to highly recommend them. Support local businesses!! Xo read more

Well, I can't actually rate them high enough! They are honest affordable and really advise on how to handle repairs. I can't say enough about what an amazing human Robert is...I'm still in the process of deciding how to handle my repair or trade in for a newer model (as per Robert's advice) He is giving up an expensive job to just be honest and amazingly kind. I'm still thinking...I'll keep you posted! I may make the repairs as a "stop gap." I really just can't thank him enough OR review them HIGHLY ENOUGH! Kudos to great humans like Robert! read more

My car died on me right before New Years Eve and I needed to get my car towed somewhere. Every shop I called was either booked up or already closed. On my search for a shop, I called ASC and spoke with Robert. I was able to leave my car there overnight- even after the shop closed. I was relived and impressed at their service. Robert called the next day and explained the problem and it was fixed that day! ASC is a top-notch repair shop. They are responsive, accommodating, dependable, HONEST, and provide great work! read more

This is the place to take your car! I was at work and noticed that one of my tires was low. I called, and they said to bring it in. I was in and out within 20 minutes! When I inquired about payment, I was told, "Have a nice day!" That made my day!! Robert and Noah were so accommodating since I was on my lunch break (30 minutes). This place is awesome!! read more

I just moved back to the area and knew exactly what was wrong with my car my mechanic in (OC) didn't have the part (he specializes in auto body not regular auto repair). At first, was going to just hit Jiffy Lube but did not want to hear their standard "upsell" crap. I set out for a repair shop because my car is getting up there in mileage and we all know when that happens the "upsells" become more aggressive by any chain. Will I looked on yelp and Arcadia Svc Ctr has 5 stars? The url reviews ate all heartfelt as well. SOLD! Arcadia Svc Ctr fixed my AC, got me a new tire and did NOT upsell anything, not even once! Also, they did not tell me the standard line any chain auto repair place would, "you need new brakes". I drive manual transmission and know I got another 25-30K miles before that happens. They also didn't tell me I needed shocks. Jiffy Lube would've pushed hard for those two sells. Thank you Arcadia Svc Ctr for your great costumer service and trustworthiness. You got a new customer! read more

My daughters car needed some TLC (4 wheel alignment, new tires, oil change, brake inspection), she had moved to Arcadia to finish grad school so I be was unable to do the work. I reached out to Robert at ASC and we could not be happier with the customer service and communication we received. It's good to know if something's nag comes up with her car she's comfortable reaching out to Robert and I'm comfortable knowing she will be treated fairly. Thanks ASC read more

PLEASE READ REVIEW IF YOU VALUE YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS!!! I took my 1996 Ford Probe GT to have starter replaced. I am very familiar with the mechanics of my vehicle and already had the symptoms diagnosed as faulty starter. I already knew it would be a tight job, so I decided to let professionals take a stab at it. The shop was clean. Front desk was professional and the job was completed swiftly with a slightly steep price of $738.24. (5 stars at this time) DAMAGE TO BODY - REVIEW I returned home with vehicle to give it a quick wash, since there where oily greasy spots from the shop when I had noticed there was clear damage to the drivers side pop up light, fender and front bumper. When I returned to the shop, the front desk employee defended his team with phrases like "the mechanic who worked on your car has been with us for 25 years. He would have told us something. We are like family and we are honest with each other." Unfortunately, the mechanic was unavailable because he was "having dental work done". Customers shouldn't know employee medical issues. After about 45 minutes of back and forth, the front desk referred me to a body shop to have vehicle quoted for repair. He was just waiting for the manager's approval (who was also not available at that time). The front desk asked me to give him 24 hours to fix the situation (1 star at this time) 24 hours later. I call Arcadia Service Center. Manager is still not available. According to the front desk "the manager will be in later he is getting blood work done". Again, more medical information not required to the customer. Eventually, I receive a call from Arcadia Service Center, and they agree to fix the body damage to my vehicle. All I have to do is set up an appointment. (2 stars at this time) DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS - REVIEW 2 days after my starter replaced I take my vehicle to Costco, and while on the 210 freeway, the vehicle overheats. It also begins bucking (misfires). This vehicle has never overheated. Being on a highway, an overheating engine puts you in a very dangerous situation, not only for your engine, but yourself as well. I manage to safely get out of the path of traffic and take a look under the hood. At first I am focused on the cooling system, but thats when i notice the hack job done to my vehicle by the mechanics at Arcadia Service Center. They had cut or removed three important vacuum lines necessary for effective ignition timing on the engine as well as failed to connect the gear linkage back to the transmission. It seemed that the incompetent 25 year mechanic was so frustrated removing and installing a starter, he decided to slice and dice his way in and out, and failed to reinstall and repair what he had removed on his way back. ***It is not okay to hand off a vehicle to customers that will fail and potentially cause harm or death to themselves and/or others due to catastrophic failure. Vehicles are designed, by engineers, to operate in a certain manner and should be kept as such while being worked on by professionals being paid to perform work*** I have not notified the shop of the second portion at this time of posting, because of fear they would go back on their agreement to fix the body damage caused by their mechanic. Now that the body work has been repaired, i will proceed with my next level of action to have Arcadia Service Center held accountable to their actions, as well as the effects of their actions to the safety and wellbeing of the public and our community read more

Great experience. I needed a smog test and didn't know if I was at the right place. The friendly mechanic checked everything and found out I was exactly where I needed to be. Super fast, fair price, and these guys know what they are doing. Highly recommended read more

Samy and Robert are really good guys. They know their stuff which is a relief. After losing confidence in a shop we had gone to for years, we were referred to Arcadia Service Center by another repair shop in Monrovia. If a repair shop refers you to a different repair shop, that's saying something positive. I tell everyone to go here. Now my father in law is also bringing his Jeep here. The shop is clean and the guys are all friendly. read more

Its walk in Oil change service, you arrived in the morning get done in about 2hours. They will charge labor for 30 dollars if you have oil and filter. I gave 4 stars because I think they add the whole bottle mobile 1 without checking the dip stick. I did not return it for the overfill problem, because I found out 2 weeks later for my routine check. I should check right away lesson learn. I use my extractor to pump out extra oil. It's about 3/4 quart. People make mistakes, no big deal. read more

Very friendly, honest, and professional staff! I went to fix my check engine light, but they said it wasn't necessary until the car gave me another reminder since the car's indicator might have been too sensitive rather than showing an actual problem. I was really surprised and appreciated hearing this -- they're very honest and professional for doing that. About a week later, I went back because my car gave another warning and they fixed it very quickly and at a reasonable price. They also have AAA discounts, which is nice. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Cannot speak better of this business. There was a time when a shop owner understood the difference between trying to get rich off a single service stop and building a loyal customer base. Samy, Robert and their team understand, and my wife and I will simply never take our cars anywhere else. They are fast, reliable and trustworthy and every other adjective you would never think to use to describe a mechanic in 2024, Full Stop. read more
