I had taken my 2008 Honda Civic here and Louie was of great help. Long story story short I had two other mechanics work on my AC system and they were giving me conflicting answers and couldn't get my AC to work. Louie was straight forward with what needed to be done and after the work was done he provided me an invoice and explained what the issues were. I am extremely grateful at how transparent he was in the process. Fortunately he was able to get my AC working better than ever, blowing ice cold air. I highly recommend Louie and this business. Phenomenal value. read more

If one calls during business hours, one's likely to be told: "I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW. I'M DRIVING!" This makes me wonder, does the proprietor realize that there are built-in (or inexpensive aftermarket) car stereos that make placing/receiving safe legal hands-free telephone calls while driving an excellent (and highly convenient) experience? Many folks that drive a lot make good use of this "modern technology." Perhaps he'll read this. read more

My rear view mirror was cracked so I called 5 different auto shops around town to get quotes. The price quoted were all super high plus I had to wait for them to order the parts. Then I remembered having my headlights replaced a few years back by Louie's at C&R Auto shop and the great job they did. I called Louie and lo and behold he came to my rescue with fraction of the cost other shops were quoting me and his crew got right on working on my mirror. They not only fixed my rear view mirror, they went above and beyond getting rid of cracks and scratches on the mirror housing for no additional charge. Louie and his team are just awesome! read more

Stopped by to get my rear brakes fixed and because of their excellent standards on checking everything I found out that in needed both front and rear done. Louie took care of me and my car. Thanks for such great service and work C&R ! I00% would recommend them read more

A bit overdue on my review but just wanted to acknowledge excellent service performed in June. I had no air conditioning on my Traverse and after a recharge of Freon did not work, diagnosed issue related to condenser. I felt that the service performed went above and beyond and he really tries to treat his customers like family, by explaining in detail the service and keeping updated on the progress. I took a road trip with my family through deserts of California and heat of Arizona and air conditioning performed perfectly! Thanks again! read more

These guys are the real deal. No over promise/ under deliver- it's the other way around. 100% recommend for all electrical

I went three times with they told me come back tomorrow morning when I got there. He told me leave your car because I already have three cars in front of you, so what's the point to tell you to go back to in the morning? read more

Great Service and very helpful staff. They are also quick. The turnaround time to get my car back was perfect. They have a waiting area where you can sit and wait for your repair. I definitely recommend this shop. I have gone there for repairs on several of my cars and even an oil change. read more

This place is great! Very knowledgeable with cars. I had to hook a bar light for a police car for filming. They helped me right away with a fair price! I got exactly what I asked and I recommend everyone to come here for any fix. read more

What I really liked about the shop was that the owner Louie and his crew explained the work they did... They offered warranty on the labor and the parts... The price was very fair especially considering that they got the job done in a few hours... thx Louie really appreciate it read more

Just fixed my AC here and it was not a bad experience. When it comes to car repair, I am very skeptical of places but here, everything was so straight forward and the service was amazing. Louie communicated everything clearly and went over all possible options to fix my vehicle. I loved that he found the time to call me when he said he would and I didn't have to chase him down for a response like I have at other auto repair places. It was fixed in a reasonable amount of time and at a reasonable price. I will definitely come back for my car needs in the future. In addition, the fact that it's a family business and not a big corporation makes me feel good to support. The owner is the one that deals with the customer and personally inspects the vehicle to make sure you're satisfied. No complaints here. read more

When my wife's headlights decided they wanted a vacation we took her car to C & R Auto electric. It looked like there was a repair done by someone else before she got the car & that usually means it costs more to fix someone else's mistake. Louie fixed it for a very reasonable price!! Even gave an extended warranty!! GO SEE LOUIE!! read more

After a very stressful morning and my car breaking down on the freeway and figuring out what the issue was, I ended up here. With the help of Louie and his team I was back up and running in a few short hours. Great customer service and great work. If I ever have any other car trouble I would definitely come back here. read more

This is what great honest service should be. I brought my car into the shop with electrical window problems and Louie and his team let me know exactly what was wrong and the things that should be done with such great service. He kept me inform of everything that was being done to my car and explain what was wrong in detail. They did not try to overcharge me for anything and even made sure everything was done so I was safe to drive away. I will definitely come back for anything I need done electrical to my car. read more

Worst shop ever. Very unprofessional. Don't go there. The owner just said: " We are very busy and I'm not God. If you like it if you don't go some other place. The didn't care about my business, they won't take care of yours. read more

I actually wrote this review a long time ago. It turns out I wrote it in wrong place (wrong auto shop) Here is my review for C & R Auto Electric Shop on Valley Blvd: 100% wonderful place. You need to come here!!! The prices are fair and they make sense!!! The owner is such a nice man. He bought me coffee and as it turns out they give rides if you need them. I have never met a place where I trusted the service given or felt comfortable yet this place I trust and do. Cost $130 for a short my 2000 ford focus had. They fixed it and even fixed little things here and there that I didnt notice (they fixed a light bulb above my license plate and fixed my windshield wipers) for free! I hadn't even noticed those things were broken lol Well I appreciate the extraordinarily service received here. I am writing this review because I was happy with their service and they deserve to be recognized. Also they are in Alhambra now...not east LA anymore. read more

A great family business. You deal with the owner directly on the phone and front office. From my experience with mechanical work the prices are reasonable, owner is transparent, organized, and professional. I had a power window motor replaced on my driver side door and the experience was positive. The double edge sword in dealing with the owner directly on the phone and front office there will be interruptions from the mechanics and customers when dealing with the owner. So please have patients. Last thing, love the historical photos on the walls. If I had time I would of listened to the story of every picture. read more

Hey guys, C&R moved to Alhambra last month. They are now at the end of the 710 on Valley near Fremont. Louie still runs the place of course but apparently their lease ran out at the old location. This shop is newer, nicer, and it has a nice lobby/waiting area as well. He still has the same mechanics though which is great. read more

C & R Auto Electric Shop - This is the new location off of Valley near Fremont in Alhambra. - Auto Repair Near Me - Alhambra, California

Got a referral here from another body shop that doesn't handle electric. Called Luis up and he couldn't have been nicer. I went the next day right when they opened. He was honest about the diagnosis, the work, and the pricing. Also had great recommendations for breakfast while I waited for the work to be done. An hour later and my brake lights work again. Thank you! read more

Louie and his team are very knowledgable and helpful for all your automotive electric needs. They are fairly priced and take very good care of their customers. I love supporting local businesses, especially family businesses. Louie has many stories about East LA history! read more

Hands Down the Best car Electric shop around. I took my 1982 GMC Caballero, I had a short and fried the wire harness. Guerrero is very knowledgeable with his work ,explains everything to you in detail and his work is excellent very satisfied with his work if you have any classic car or any issues with your vehicle C&R is the place to go I'm a customer for life now trust me you won't be disappointed and his prices are great. read more

I can't say enough about the great service here. Being female I was concerned about being taken once again like we were at Chuy's Auto Electric. He was suppose to check our vehicle, call us with a quote prior to repairing it. That didn't happen. He said he told us that he was just going to repair it. I don't know about you but I want to know how much $$, it's going to cost BEFORE giving the go ahead. He yelled at me when I confronted him about why he didn't let us know first (we would have never fixed it. The price was outrageous) He was Very rude and disrespectful. Nothing like here at C & R Louie the owner is very professional along with the entire staff. He explains everything in detail where you understand which is great. He even took us to the computer and showed us where the problem was in our vehicle (2003 TURBO PT CRUISER) and called us PRIOR to fixing our car with a quote. Very Very reasonable and respectful. He even offers you the old parts to your vehicle if you'd like. Can't beat his price and by the way if they can't do the job they will refer you to someone they trust. That's great service. Thank you again Louie. read more

I take my car here all the time and will always continue to come back.. Louie and his team have helped me out from changing out my brakes to just checking on my fluids for me.. Super nice and very noligable.. read more

Came in.. Asked if they could tell me whether the issues I was having with my car were because of the ignition or the carb... 1 hr later a guy comes up to me and says.. "Ok so the problems your having are either do to the ignition or your carburetor " and I was like yeah I know.. That's why I came here!!! They then gave me a card to get the carb checked out.. And told me it was going to be 40$ what.. The .. F&$@!!! And they blocked my car in.. So I had to pay.. Lesson learned.. F this place! .. Go to chuys down the street.. Where mechanics know what they're doing! read more

Louie's shop is awesome. I brought my 1969 Dodge Charger to his shop with a variety of problems including the radiator and ignition. He was able to diagnose the problems that many other shops couldn't figure out. Quality service and very affordable. His shop has moved btw. 2931 W Valley Blvd, Alhambra, 91803 read more

Louie is so good at what he does very honest and fair mechanic. His original shop was in east LA and now a new and improved shop in Alhambra my grandfather use to go to his dad and now my family goes to him for our car needs read more

I brought my car to get the air conditioner fixed and I have recieved nothing but the best customer service from the shops owner Louie and his staff,all very professional and courteous, I will definitely recommend it to my friends, very happy I found this shop read more

Terrible place to bring you car. Very poor quality service and it's all about the money over here. This place was recommended to me and I had to find out the hard way, I should have known better. The owner told me I needed to replace my turn signal switch so I spent over $100.00 to get another one. After getting another one, they still could not fix it and they were not willing to go the distance to find out what the issue. I was very disappointed so I took it to a different shop and the man who fix it told me, the original turn signal I have in my car only needed some cleaning. If C&R who preaches to be the best in auto electric in this town, they should have known the original parts just need cleaning and that was all. I wasted money and time for believing I needed a new part when it was not necessary. I would never take my car to this shop again. For you electrical needs go seek other places, I saw one on the web, very honest and willing to take the time to fix your car right. With an old school mentality, please the customer first and take pride on your trade, that's how they work. The name of the place is Koverk Auto Electric in Pasadena. I don't work for them to write this review, I just think people should know the places you can gain trust and places where you're going to get screwed. We all have choices and sometimes it's all about "lesson learned" and boy did I learned my lesson. read more

This place is a gem. Louie and Ramon are incredible. This is a family operation passed down from father to son. Did not know the father, but Louie is the best! I know that the CHP take their personal cars there. These folks are fair, honest and I always feel safe dealing with them and the work they've done. I drive from downtown to East L.A. just to use their services..and would drive a heck of a lot further to continue to use them. Yesterday, I screwed up and was one hour late picking up my car (I didn't know that they were opening up one hour earlier) Ramon waited for me for one hour-until I made it there thru heavy 5 pm traffic. read more

I worked construction for 30 years. Lots of miles. I've taken all my cars to C&R ever since my father told me to go there after I bought my first car. Louie and Ramon are the best. Are honest and back up there work. I've never had to worry about getting screwed by a mechanic. A.B. read more

I took my BMW for hazard lights switch replacement, the switch didn't even make it to my home. I took it back and the wife manager told me the reason the switch went south was for another reason and because this was a new problem I would have to pay for a new diagnosis. I had already spent 200.00. I went some place ease and it was fixed in 30 min. The problem was a short on a back tail light. Once the short was repaired the new hazard switch replaced ( 65$) it has now been ok for one year. Be careful. Who is writing the 5 star ratings? The manager wife? read more

My daughter has lived in LA for 5 months, so when her car door locks shorted out, we were lost on who to trust for repairs. Fortunately C&R Auto Electric Shop was recommended by another mechanic who couldn't fix this complicated issue. Louie and his team were so professional, kept us informed, made sure we understood what was involved and the costs to repair. And just all around fair and nice guys. read more

My ambulance company has been with Louie and his team since Brannick Ave. They always leave our company vehicles great! He is very fair and reasonable, and if I can give his business 10 stars I would! I have only great things to say about C&R Auto electric. If Louie isn't there Dakota is a very helpful and friendly staff member who provides excellent customer service. I now have my friends and family bring their cars here. read more

Recently my daughter's trunk light stopped working in her 2000 New Beetle. I took it to Louie, and he figured out the problem pretty quick. It ended costing very minimal. Louie is the owner, and he has been in the business for years. He is a great guy, and I feel very comfortable knowing he is honest, and has integrity. I have referred friends to him, and he has taken good care of them as well. He won't disappoint. read more

Louie has taken care of my cars for over 30 years. I have recommended many friends and family because Louie is very fair and honest. He treats every customer with courtesy and respect. This is a well-established and respected business in the community. Their loyal customers come from distant cities in the Inland Empire, San Gabriel and San Fernando valleys. Louie and his crew maintain any vehicle - from classic to foreign and domestic - and commercial (ambulance). I highly recommend C & R. read more
