C & R Auto Center - Before and after picture. - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Just needed an oil change on a Saturday and this auto center was the closest to me. I just pulled in and asked if they had time for me and they took my car in right away. Jaime is a really nice person, very friendly and professional. The whole thing took 45 min which was quick for a walk in on a Saturday. Price was fair and he was clear about everything from the get go. I'd def trust them again with my car!!! read more

What can I say this is LITERALLY the best auto shop in the area for many reasons. One of them being honesty. As a female who doesn't quite understand repairs etc it's really comforting to know that I won't get ripped off. Every time I've brought my vehicle over it's been fixed same day and I haven't paid a boat load. I have a Mini Cooper so parts tend to be very expensive on their own. He'll always use the best parts and fluids that are meant for your vehicle. He's also a very kind man. It's nice to know that if my car malfunctions ever it'll be fixed. read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE!! Brought my car in when I had a check engine light on. Based on how my car was behaving (mind you it was still running, drivable, no noises) I suggested it may be a spark plug issue causing misfires. Jaime, the owner, claimed the spark plugs were fine and that it was AN ENGINE ISSUE. Basically, one of the most expensive repairs possible, as opening the motor to get to the heads is at minimum a $2k job. Well he quoted me at $3500 before repairs. I sensed something didn't seem right, so I decided to get a second opinion from a friends mechanic. When I told Jaime I would be taking my car back, he was not happy. He insisted I shouldn't take the car, not to drive it and to leave it with him in his shop. I showed up to take it back anyway and requested the invoicing for the estimate as well as the diagnostics report. Ha! He was trying to replace timing belt (there's nothing wrong with my timing belt) plus numerous other parts, effectively recommending that I replace a list of parts for the engine, which he never mentioned were malfunctioning. WHAT?! I knew immediately something was fishy. So then he brings my car out, hands me the keys and says "good luck getting it home". Excuse me? My car was perfectly drivable yesterday... After I get in the car, I immediately notice it is shaking, idling roughly and so noisy! Worse condition than I brought it in. WELLLL my car stalls twice driving it home in LA traffic. My friends mechanic comes to look at it, and reveals they had LEFT TWO SPARK PLUGS DISCONNECTED. He wanted to ensure I wouldn't be able to drive it! He could have caused injury and bodily harm to me, not to mention could have caused an accident, resulting in damage to my vehicle. After my friends mechanic checks it out, he sees the ONLY issue with my car are some spark plugs. Exactly what I thought to begin with. C & R not only lied about my spark plugs not being the problem, they CREATED a very, very expensive problem that was NON EXISTENT so they could steal my money. Yes, I am a young female who maybe appears to have no knowledge of cars. I have done work on my own cars Jaime, don't judge a book by its cover. And never discount gut feelings. He claimed two cylinders weren't holding pressure, so I had the pressure re-tested and guess what- NO ISSUES. Meaning this wasn't a valve, piston, cam shaft, timing belt or any other engine problem. SCAM. This man is a vulture and con artist and a danger and liability to the community. He thought he could prey on me. Always trust your gut and never trust an overly "nice" mechanic. I have reported them to the better business bureau. read more

I was checking out a car from a nearby dealer, and decided to get an inspection here. The salesman and I drove the car here, and waited for 30 minutes while the mechanic checked out the vehicle. While we waited, we chatted a bit and just took in the area. This shop is relatively new, and well maintained. The mechanic himself was friendly and straightforward. Once he was done checking out the car, he told me that there was nothing to worry about. Indeed, I was right about my initial assessment of the car, it was legit. The inspection was only $40, and it was a quick and efficient service. The salesman and I then headed back to the dealership, with full confidence that I was sitting in my next new car. I'd recommend this shop to anyone in the area, they took care of me well! read more

It was a day (November 9, 2020) when I had to change cv axels and front wheel hubs with wheel bearings on my 2008 mazda3. I've bought all the parts by myself and arrived to "C&R Automotive Center" at 1622 N Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027 East Hollywood. Earlier thise guys had helped me with couple of small things as a tire changing and flat tire repair it's a general reason why I have again arrived to this body shop. Jaime has done an labor estimate very fast - it taked less than 5 minutes. Estimate for all works was 4.8 hours with labor rate $100 per hour. I leaved my car at their yard and went home by bus - it was like 12pm. At 5pm I received a phone call that my car is ready. I was very happy because of I hadn't heard any knocking or noise when I tested a car. I gonna recommend "C&R Automotive Center" for all my friends. Thanks for your great work! read more

C & R Auto Center - It's mine car after repairs)) - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My car broke down in Hollywood. My friend helped me get it to Jaime over at C&R Automotive Center. He switched out my alternator and was pleasant to chat with. This is an honest shop and I'm grateful that I broke down nearby. read more

Caught him lying several times. Seemed like a nice guy. He did a poor job trying to fix an issue ( broke the next day ). He also supposedly ordered a part ( I had a feeling he was lying ). I left two messages never got a call back. Finally he answered the phone. He said the part was on backorder he said he's still waiting for the part he ( Jaime ) said the part will arrive in 15 days and he'll call me when it does. Two months later no call. I called left a message no response. I went to a different mechanic they said the part is readily available. My new mechanic ordered the part and it arrived THE VERY NEXT day. They just installed the part took 2 hours. So this shop is a waste of time. I'll also have to spend more money fixing the bad job Jaime did. read more

I was super stressed about losing my job and having to fix my car, my check engine light was on. I came here and my code was read for free. It turned out to be fine and was such a stress relief. Super helpful! I'll go here for all my automotive needs! So glad I have honest and awesome mechanics in my neighborhood! My signal light was replaced and Jaime was super nice about it. I will be back soon to get my tires fixed! Thanks Jaime!! read more

Never coming back to this body shop didn't even bother to help us out Rather go to the hood instead this place read more

Good service yeah I like it not expensive effort well and fast service yeah I did I came yesterday they did within one hour and I would recommend everyone thank you read more

Jaime is always very helpful. I've also compared some estimates at other places nearby and their work was also the best price. I don't know if they still tow, but last time they offered free tow service as well! +5 visits. Visits: 5+ read more

My car has had a problem with my engine light for a long while now. I took my car to a Jiffy Lube about 4 times in the past few months. I initially paid to replace a spark plug but the light kept coming back and no one at Jiffy Lube could tell me why. Frustrated from going back and forth with them, I come here now and after one visit with meeting Jaime, he was able to tell me what's wrong and how to resolve the issue while saving me more time and money. Very reliable, explains the situation clearly, and he knows what he's doing. read more

This shop is amazing, the people who work there are knowledgeable. They previously figured out the cause of an issue that kept ruining my tires, something that BMW nor 5 other shops weren't able to figure out. Their work is top quality...they get the job done quick and right! read more

I have entrusted our car service Angel City Limo to Jaime and his team over at C & R Automotive for about a year now. This is truly one of the best shops and mechanics I've ever done business with in Los Angeles! I've tried mechanics in the valley, west LA, Hollywood all over and this is my favorite. We normally have to service our cars for normal maintenance such as oil changes, tires etc. However, Jaime also offers Body work here too. They gave all our cars Limo Tinted windows (which look amazing, I would highly recommend doing it) and refinished the paint on the car. With some great prices and easy friendly neighborhood service, you won't go wrong. I highly recommend taking your car here for it's next tune up! Because I know we will! read more

I first took my car to C+R because of its convenient location, but I will never go anywhere else! Jaime and the team are talented mechanics and kind, honest people. Over the past few years I have brought my car in there countless times for all different stuff and have always received reliable and speedy service for a fair price. The business is run with such integrity--I'll give a couple examples. My check engine light went on one time and Jaime diagnosed a sensor as the issue, and instead of taking the opportunity to charge me to replace it he tried cleaning it first because he didn't think it needed replacing (it didn't!) and told me if the problem persisted he would credit me for the cleaning to replace the sensor. Recently, I had my A/C fixed and unfortunately the compressor installed was faulty. I brought it in a couple months later and because it was under warranty they replaced it and recharged it for absolutely free. I couldn't believe it! This place is the best! read more

I've been coming here for years! Really great people, top quality work, honest & fair pricing. 10/10 always. Over the years I've had accident repair, countless oil changes, A/C fixed... etc. Plus, also doesn't hurt there's a Marshall's, Daiso, petco, & target all within 1 block so you can go shopping while you wait. read more

My car was breaking down on my way to Griffith Observatory, so I had my friend map the closest auto repair shop. C&R Automotive Center came up and I managed to get my car in there right before it died. It was around 5pm when we got there, so we had to leave the car overnight since the shop closes at 6. Jaime helped us and told me what he thought the problem was (my alternator broke, which drained the battery), then gave me a quote to repair it. The next morning around 10 or 11, he called us and told us the car was ready. He had replaced the alternator and battery. Unfortunately, the alternator he had installed was faulty, so he had to replace it again with a whole new one. He also took apart my stereo to check that out since I thought that may have been part of the problem, which it was. He ended up spending a lot more time on my car than expected, but didn't charge any more than the price he gave me the night before, which was really nice of him. I would highly recommend C&R Automotive Center because they are fair and honest and do a thorough job. read more

I've never met a mechanic that I like, but I have to tell you this dude is ok in my book. This is my second time coming here and he has always given me the honest answer. He told me a few months ago that he could fix the issue for $300, I mean fine. Like an idiot, I did not take him up on the offer. So now one year later..the issue raises to a $1,300 problem and its my fault for not listening to him. I just took my car in last minute, and he didn't even say I told you so...He's like you know why its messed up right (shameful face) yes I know. He takes my car in and boom its done!! I can't say enough good things about C&R, highly recommend!! read more

I broke my car about a year ago and got the water tank replaced in a Taiwanese mechanist place. It cost me 400 something, and it is leaking again now, and I went to C&R because this is the nearest place from where I live, but this time it was only 150 (Parts and labor in total)to replace the water tank read more

Jaime is the most knowledgeable person I've met when it comes to mechanics. His customer service and transparency with issues you're vehicle may be having are top notch. Highly recommend for any car trouble you may be experiencing. read more

These guys are the best. Patrick and Andre know what they are doing and they will never bullshit you. As a matter of fact, they actually try to HELP you. They have bent over backwards for me several times, even after hours. Maybe a perk of living down the street? Who knows. All I know is that everyone who lives around here goes to them, and now I know why. I have never trusted a mechanic before. And now I will never go to anyone else ever again. Friendly, honest, reasonable, quick service. What else could you want? read more

These guys helped me out when I really needed it. They came down the street to change my tire, took it, patched it, and replaced it. Last time this happened, I went elsewhere, and it cost around $45. C&R charged me $10 for all of that. They were kind and helpful, which is about the best thing I can say about any business. I will always go to them first. read more

This place is so Honest and Fair! I cannot recommend this place enough - they are helpful and nice and fairly priced.

Patrick is the most amazing mechanic ever. He is fast, fair and reasonable. I have taken my car there a couple of times and he has never screwed me over on the service or the price. He's always, honest, fair, and very knowledgeable. The last time I took my car in there he got my car ready two days early. Awesome. He's a nice guy too. If you need work done to your car and you want someone you can rely on go here!!! read more

I have been told that I am the oldest customer of these folks - (I live down the street), and I can't count the times that the guys at C&R have helped me out, done good inexpensive repairs - informed me about triage - that is what to fix NOW and what can wait - as my budget is limited. I have also gotten good new & used tires from them. These are realistic mechanics - they won't throw out a whole system just to fix a small part! And they have a quick turnaround. Get in early in the day if you want the repair that day or the next. I even had them replace a whole engine once! And they shopped around for a good one for me. read more

Good honest work here at reasonable prices. Came across this place by accident and glad I did.

My husband and I were visiting from out of town and got in a car accident down the street from the shop. I called C and R and Jaime was amazing. They took our car without question and helped get us to our hotel. They helped us communicate with the insurance company. Very friendly and caring auto shop! read more

I CANNOT say enough about the care & quality of C&R! Jáime is concerned & compassionate & happy to answer questions & give you options. It also has always been extremely easy & quick to get started on the issues at hand. I feel really very lucky that a blessing in disguise was needing to be towed to the closest possible mechanic, & that this was it! I've never felt taken for a ride, & have always been treated with respect. Vrooom! read more

Found out I had a screw in my tire that was deflating it rapidly. Checked Yelp and found this great place in the middle of Hollywood a block south of the Ralphs on Western. Called up 20 minutes before closing on a Saturday. Very friendly and helpful guy told me to come right over. Who does that right before closing? My tire was fixed in 5 minutes for $10 by two nice guys. I highly recommend this place and as they do all kinds of repair work, I will be back. read more
