    They are very professional , I am really happy for my beetle, they did the best job for fair price. I really recommend this place

    It's been a pleasure doing business with Randy and Robert. I wish that all mechanics had their level of integrity and passion. For anyone that has a classic VW they love, you know the anxiety experienced when leaving your vehicle in the hands of a stranger. You need not worry with Auto-Meister. These guys are true professionals, always getting the job done with a high level of quality. I have a great deal of trust and respect for these guys after having them work on my bus a couple of times now. I drive 30 minutes out of my way to bring the bus here from Santa Monica. It's worth doing!

    I've been taking my 87 Vanagon to Randy and Robert at Auto-Meister for over a decade. They've always done a great job at a fair price. They know what they're doing which is rare in Waterboxer world! They've got my Van running great. I was going to buy some new control arm bushings and Randy said my old ones were probably fine and that a little silicone will stop the squeak... Of course the squeak was gone when I picked up my Van. They just did it... no mention to me or on my bill. Bottom line; if you drive a Vanagon and are having issues, these guys can help.

    This was my first time taking my vintage beetle in to Randy. He is very pleasant and the car runs like a champ! Thank you Randy ( and Dana)

    Master Tech - Another photo of the junk o2 sensor piece

    Honest, reliable, my go to Toyota service dealership with honest mechanic crew…read more Never overcharged, always straight shooting in terms of what it takes to keep my Toyota running from a former Toyota Mechanic.

    Herbert was a big help for me with getting my 2016 Honda accord touring fixed. I had taken it to…read moremultiple mechanics AND the dealer, and no one could tell me exactly what my issue was and just be straight with me. I had an emissions system issue that gave me the code 'P0139'. The first mechanic I took it to last year told me that it was a simple o2 sensor issue (rightfully so considering the code I was getting), yet when he replaced the sensor, the light continually came on. So he replaced it again, and replaced another o2 sensor on the vehicle (according to him). When none of that worked, he told me that my catalytic converter was faulty, and that I was going to have to pay roughly 8k for a new one. Safe to say I didn't believe him, nor did I stick around and simply take his word for it. I started making calls and, at first, genuinely believed that I was going to have to come up with the 8k by summer 2026 (when my smog inspection was due). I thought at one point I was sold a faulty vehicle too and even tried to receive compensation for the error. Turns out that wasn't the case, and even if it was, there wasn't much I could about it anymore. I took it to others who quoted me ridiculous prices for a simple diagnostic, I took it to others that just simply couldn't tell me what was wrong, and then to make things more confusing, the light would go on and off and would even go off long enough for me to pass smog!!! (Even though the first guy I went to said my catalytic converter was bad). Then, I looked online and found Master Tech. Great reviews, great location in the South Bay (Torrance), and fair pricing. Diagnostic was about 160, which would go toward repairs if needed, and if they couldn't find the issue I'd pay zero dollars! When I first got there, already Herbert pointed out things no mechanic pointed out before. I was told and under the impression that all my sensors were new and changed... they weren't. He also informed me that my vehicle was an American built one (not Japanese or Canadian, which I heard can make all the difference in quality). That's information that, although wasn't a huge concern, let me know that this guy paid attention to detail and really cared about what he was doing. He then told me to leave it with him later on in the week so he could give the vehicle TLC (tender love and care), and to be comfortable with not having my vehicle for a couple days (wasn't a problem at all). Eventually he gets back to me after a day and lets me know that the sensor had to be changed out with an oem one, as the previous mechanic put in an aftermarket one. On the day that I picked the car up and paid for the install, we both hopped in and took it for a ride, and the engine was running smooth like butter now. No more rich running (causing my gas to burn faster), and no more harsh shifting. He then hands me over the old sensor and informs me that I should go get my money back from the other mechanic. It turns out, the other guy was trying to screw me over (surprise, surprise!), whereas Herbert was honest and righteous. The piece the other mechanic put in was a Bosch sensor, made specifically for German made vehicles. Smh. It was for VOLKSWAGENS and the like ONLY. He was just trying to get me to pay him thousands, and perhaps allow me to further damage my engine and transmission from the issues he was forcing my vehicle to go thru for the time that it wasn't working properly due to a lazy, incompatible o2 sensor. I was relieved that I found Herbert who was able to help me and install the correct piece for a fair price (443 roughly, as opposed to the almost 700 dollars the dealer would've tried to charge me). I like his style, and he is definitely a righteous mechanic. Thank you bro!

    I've been a loyal Firestone customer for years and have visited several different locations, but…read morethis was my first visit to this store--and it exceeded every expectation. Bryce, the Service Manager, was outstanding. He was professional, honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. Even though the store was clearly very busy, he made me feel like my vehicle was a priority and got me in and out much faster than I expected. It's easy to see why this location is always so busy--it's exceptionally well run. What really stood out was the culture. Everyone seemed to genuinely care about the customers, and the experience felt more like having family take care of your car than visiting an auto repair shop. That kind of customer service is rare these days. Bryce and the entire team have earned my business going forward. I'll be switching to this location for all of my future service needs, even though there are other Firestone stores closer to me. Keep up the outstanding work. This is how great customer service should be done!

I tried another local tire store, but they turned me away because they were too busy - so I rolled down to this Manhattan Beach Firestone to see if they could help (I have two kids and I can't be driving around on a bad tire). Bryce was SUPER helpful. Walked me out to my car and discovered the screw was gone! I was not convinced. He had me roll my car back and forth over and over and even chalk marked my tire to show that it was gone. He also checked to make sure there wasn't a slow leak. Just super nice guy that made my day. I'll be back if/when a screw does ruin my day!

    NOT A SAFE SHOP I…read moreplaced an order to replace a tire and to do a tire rotation. Pittstop replaced the tire within 30 minutes of me dropping off my car but forgot that I had requested a tire rotation. Upon reminding them that I ordered a tire rotation, they completed that within an hour. As part of their tire rotation service, they filled the air of each tire. Within 30 minutes of driving away, my car detected that the psi (air pressure) for one of my tires was low and decreasing incrementally. I parked my car to attend an event for an hour and assumed that the psi reading was just a system error that would reset once I restarted my car. Upon restarting my car, the psi was lower and at a dangerous level (my car screen had a warning message advising me to park my car). I called Pittstop letting them know about this problem, that I could hear air leaking from one of the tires, and that I'm on my way back to the shop. In the 15-mile ride back to Pittstop, I had to stop at 2 gas stations to fill air in the tire for fear that it would fully deflate as I was driving the road. It was extremely dangerous and unnecessarily stressful. Upon arriving, they inspected the tire and realized that the pin for the tire was broken. I asked one of their mechanics how it was broken and they just said, "it just happens.... who knows?" They didn't accept any responsibility for failing to hear that air was leaking from that tire (which was obvious as soon as you removed the plastic cap) or checking whether the pin was broken or not. These are simple post-repair diagnostics a mechanic should do to protect the safety of their customers. I am extremely disappointed in my experience here -- particularly given how dangerous the situation could have been if I did not have a car that had technology to warn me when air pressure is dangerously low.

Not only were all four of my tires in rough shape, but I was also dealing with a serious axle issue. Most places would've either overcharged, taken forever, or flat-out turned me away. Not these guys. The team at Globe Tire handled everything flawlessly. They fixed all four tires, repaired the axle (which is no small task on a Land Rover), and went the extra mile by using balancing beads to ensure everything was riding smooth and properly balanced. They also dialed in the alignment perfectly--my car honestly drives better now than it has in years. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Everyone there was incredibly friendly, honest, and easy to talk to. They kept me in the loop the entire time with clear communication, no surprises, and zero pressure. It's rare to find a shop that combines this level of technical skill with such genuine customer care. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and all-around solid tire shop, Globe Tire is the place to go. I won't be taking my car anywhere else. Highly recommend!
