Honest honest fair to the core! I have used him for more decades than I can remember on all of my cars. You won't go wrong with Caesar

Been bringing my cars here to Cesar and Luis for years now. Honest and reliable. They'll give it to you straight. I've been told I needed parts from another mechanic only to be told by Luis that things are fine. Other times, I've been given options on what's needed vs what's ideal. Recommended. read more

I had a flat tire close by the shop. Luis helped me grab a new tire to change and balance in the span of 30 minutes. Very reasonably priced place and very nice people. read more

Professional, reliable and speedy but thorough service. Cesar takes his job with great seriousness and is clearly devoted to doing it with the utmost excellence and care. I trust Cesar with my auto repair needs and would come back here again anytime. Thank you so much Cesar. read more

Dont trust this guy. I know the price of the job he quoted and it was 2 to 3 hrs for a Simple job I know would take less than an hour. exaggerated for the benefiting of his wallet. Update- one hour later I just watched s Tony at silverlake automotive replace the part in 13 minutes... fck mechanics like this. read more

Cesar does a great job on diagnostics. Always figures out the real problem, instead of trying one thing then another. Quick turnaround on repairs and fair pricing too. If you don't know what's wrong with your car I recommend Cesar. If you do know what's wrong, I bet his price is better than elsewhere. I know because I've tried "elsewhere". read more

Fixed my car in no time, fair price, very professional, friendly owner, I will come back for sure read more

To echo another review - Cesar is a man of integrity!!! On multiple occasions he has refused work on my car because the work hasn't been necessary, and he's been right every time! I refer all my friends and family to him. My sister was visiting me and we noticed her car trouble - he fixed the ominous rattling in under an hour and a half so she could get on the road again! Truly the most humble and effective repairman I've ever worked with. read more

For more than two decades, I have been a loyal customer of Cesar's auto shop. Trust is paramount for me, especially as a woman seeking reliable mechanical services. Cesar, Louis, and Jr. have consistently provided excellent care for my vehicles, earning my trust and loyalty. I have confidently referred several friends to their shop, impressed by their professionalism and expertise. I wholeheartedly endorse their services without hesitation. read more

I've been coming to Cesar's for nearly 20 years. I don't know what I'd do with him, Louis and Jr. They've always kept me rolling. I've recommended them to so many of my friends. Ladies, have no fear about bringing your vehicle here. These guys are super honest and would never charge you for things you don't need. read more

Ceasar is a man of integrity :-) four months ago he replaced my alternator... Today It went out on me... He honored the warranty and I'm back on the road. Thank you Mr. Ceasar and his friendly mechanic! read more

Amazing guy and amazing service. Been using him for the last 7 years! He's reliable and affordable but also does incredible work. Did a ceramic coat on my 2023 model y recently. He is great! read more

Best down to earth mechanic I can to in LA...too if the line customer service and they get the job done

Cesar's is my new auto-home in LA. Friendly, prompt, easy-going, trustworthy, reasonable pricing. Highly recommend.

Cesar and his crew did an amazing job of diagnosing and repairing my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The dealer said it was going to cost more than the car is worth to fix it but Cesar solved the issues and got me back on the road in a quick and economical fashion. Thanks so much for your care, attention and honesty Cesar!! read more

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Cesar's. My 2001 Tacoma pickup truck was serviced quickly and the price was fair. Cesar himself also took time to answer my many questions. He seems to be a man of integrity. I will certainly be back! read more

These guys tried to fix the convertible top on my Infiniti G37. When they could not figure it out - they did not charge me a dime and gave me the referral numbers to two local dealers. It tuned out it was a programming issue with the computer control, not mechanical. I so appreciate their honesty. I will be back... read more

All of this is still true, I have a different car, but I'm still taking it to Cesar & Luis. The greatest!

This review is for a last minute oil change that I needed before a trip up to the Bay Area. Good: -Took my car right away and told me it would be ready in 1-1.5 hours (I went for a stroll and came back at that time to find it ready). - Super nice guys, honest and friendly. Bad: -Base price for standard oil change $32.95 plus tax plus $2 disposal fee. I could go to a chain and get it done for $20-25. Price = -1 star. -Told me they would be checking my tire pressure. Obviously they didn't because I took my car for gas after picking it up and check it myself...3 tires at 32 psi, 1 tire at *20* psi. -Told me that they would charge me if I needed any fluids. I said DO NOT charge me or give me wiper fluid since I keep some in the trunk and I do it myself. My receipt? $3.50 charge for wiper fluid. This alone will not bring me back. Total cost for standard oil change: $41.82. Maybe this is the right place to go for a repair job but save 50% and go to a decent gas station or chain for the oil change. I don't mind paying for nice service but I'm not paying 2x for something simple and have them ignore my request and charge me 3.5x to top off my wiper fluid than what a whole gallon would cost me at Target. read more

Okay. I hate to be a stereotypical girl but when it comes to my car I'm the epitome of "that girl" and my car had no problem letting me know it's time to get me some service when the maintenance light came on. I called Cesar's Auto Repair and Cesar Jr. calmed me down, that my car wasn't going to explode or anything, it likely needed an oil change, refill on fluid, etc. You can't get better quality service and friendly at that! I came in and they took my information, took a walk around my car, and let me know they would do a general look over on the brakes, the oil, etc. I left my car at maybe 1:30pm and it was ready by 4:30pm. They did minor body repair by buffing out scratches from the top of my trunk (from when my garage door came down on the backside. Ugh), fixed up my bumper that had come unhinged somehow, changed the oil (thereby getting rid of the scary maintenance light), and even gave her a really good scrub down and cleaned the inside! They are straight forward and honest. You won't get upsold but they will let you know the necessity of certain repairs and what degree of wear and tear you are at for everything. GO TO THIS PLACE FIRST! You won't regret it. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This review is not just based on one experience here. I've been a few times to get things fixed. Out of convenience I have gone here because it is right up the street from me but after this last trip -- never again! They are not timely. Whenever I would call to see if my car was ready they would make me feel like I was inconveniencing them by checking up. I'm sorry, but I live in LA...I need my car. They are extremely rude as well. They criticized me for having a VW. The only time they were nice to me was when I was paying my bill! The last and final time I went in to get something fixed it was a part that I knew cost $5 or less, when I walked out of there I ended up paying $70. I've had to get this part fixed before and my other shop didn't even charge me! What a mistake bringing my car here. As I said, never again! read more

Had a wonderful dinner last night at Night + Market WeHo! OMG! The pad see ew and sticky rice--OUT OF THE WATAH! So GOOD! The seafood surprise--perfectly cooked--all pieces tender! The atmosphere and vibe are electric! Fun, casual, nice, just all around a great place to take friends and family--lots of skrumpsch dishes to taste! All their wines are natural--no sulfates, so no headaches! The Gamay is PERF with every dish! read more

Cesars Auto Repair - Night + Market WeHo! - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is the only place I'll take my car to be fixed. I read bout them on a few other websites, and they had great reviews, so I decided to check them out when my car broke down. I'm so glad I did. They are a family run business that's been around since the 70's, and they really know how to take care of their customers. They've always been honest with me, and I've never felt taken advantage of. I hear they're expanding their business- so that must say something about the quality of their work and the care they show to the people who rely on them to get their cars up and running again. They can get busy, so don't expect them to be able to look at your car right away unless you drop it off first thing in the morning. read more

Honest! Helpful! Nice! Reliable! LUIS is awesome! Go there for all your car needs. I got oil change in and out in 30 mins while usually I wait hours at dealership. Terrific service read more

My 93 Acura Integra broke down in LA on Saturday morning. I took it to Cesar. Radiator was shot. Needed a new one. Unfortunately most shops, including this one, close in the early afternoon on Sat. The part didn't get sent over in time, so I was stuck in LA until Monday. Then on Monday, they sent the wrong part. The right one showed up just before noon. Just before the mechanics took their hour lunch break. I didn't end up getting out of there until 3:30. So I can't really fault Cesar for the totally broken parts distribution network in LA. In fact he warned me about it. However, he wasn't good at communicating with me about the status of things. He never called me; I had to call him and it was effort to try to get any sort of info or estimates out of him. He was nice and honest and the cost seemed reasonable. I just wish he had been better with communicating updates. read more

This review is for Cesar and crew checking out a used car before you buy one. This is a service he provides for a very reasonable price. $50 or $60 I think. You can go next door to the 101 Coffee House, or walk down to the really cool record store on Franklin next to Birds and check out records while they make sure you are not buying a lemon. As a car buying addict, Cesar saved me from making ill-advised purchases more than once. I still bought what I wanted, but he gave me the skinny on them first. I can't speak to the mechanic side of their business, but I like these guys and will give them a shot on that front. What they say makes sense to me, and that's a good place to start with an car mechanic. read more

Ceasar is great! Talks to you like a neighbor, not a price tag. A regular local and honest family run business. Did not feel scared or taken advantage of. Trust. You will love him. read more

My car started bucking and then stopping on the 101. A super exciting feeling. After stopping and starting all the way off the freeway, I finally just gave up and pulled over to give it a rest. That's when I noticed my car was overheating and I probably should do something about it faster than driving all the way home. Luckily, I broke down right across the street from Caesar's. First, he complimented my moccasins and we talked about shopping at Bass Pro. Then he said he would take care of everything. I've had repeated issues with noisy brakes, my check engine light and overheating (I drive a 2003 Nissan Sentra). Instead of trying to charge me for all of those issues, he isolated the fact that even though my coolant tank doesn't have any leaks, the coolant itself evaporates like crazy. So it cost me $40. No oversell on all the issues wrong with my car. He said the car was safe to drive as is, so there was no need getting into other issues. Just totally nice service. read more

Great shop, great guys, great family business. Would recommend to anyone looking for an auto repair shop.

I just would like to say that Cesar's Auto Repair has been such a huge help to me. I live very close by and any time I have a problem, Luis is there to fix it in a split second. I had a broken tail light and was trying to learn how to change it myself. I was a bit overwhelmed (and I have a PhD) by the instructions and went over to Cesars to see how much it would be. Luis fixed my tail light in ten minutes flat and only charged me $10! This morning, I brought them a driver's side mirror hanging 3/4 of the way off (gotta love those tight LA parking spaces) and he was able to find an after-market mirror and install it TODAY. He not only saved me from having to go to the nissan dealership, but likely saved me hundreds of dollars in excessive labor costs. I highly recommend Cesar's if you want a cost-effective and time-efficient way of solving your automobile needs...will definitely come again (but hopefully not too soon ;) read more

I took my out of state car in to Cesar's for a tune up and smog test based on the reviews I got here on Yelp. I was very happy with the service and would recommend this business without reservation. I dropped my car off in the morning without an appointment and it was ready to go shortly after lunch. They gave me a clear estimate of costs and performed the service without surprises (if you know what I mean). It is a great shop and I will definitely go back for any future auto repair needs. read more

My husband and I live up the street from Cesar's and have taken our cars here for years. We LOVE them. Incredibly helpful, trustworthy, and they really really know things. : ) My two small kids and I sometimes stop by just to say hi. At this point, Cesar, Jr., and Luis are basically part of our family!! read more

Great service and great prices I know Cesar his son and Luis the mechanic for more than 25 years they are great and they do the job right if you need a honest mechanic in the area this is the place to go trust me they are amazing read more

As honest as it gets!! I love Luis! My transmission has been slipping, car stalling at stops and poor acceleration. Its a 2002 Pathfinder with over 189,000 miles so I thought this was it. She was done for. I brought it in to Firestone several weeks ago. They charged me $99 for a "full diagnostic". Told me "Your transmission is slipping. We don't do transmissions, so bring it in to a transmission shop. Looks like you may need a rebuild". Oh no! despair... financial disaster... So on advice from a friend, I brought it to Cesar's. Asked them to give me the honest truth. How much? Luis popped the hood and checked the transmission fluid. Fluid is dry. How long has it been like this? I told him its been driving poorly for months. He puts in 4 quarts of transmission fluid, takes it on a test drive, comes back, takes me on a test drive.. It's fine!!! $20.. that's right, TWENTY DOLLARS!! My old car is driving, stopping, accelerating... smooth as silk! Dumb jerks at Firestone charged me a hundred bucks and did not even check the fluid!!! Luis is an angel. Cesar's Auto Repair now has a customer for life! read more

Friendly, thorough, responsive and honest! Best mechanic I've been to! They gave me an estimate and were able to come in under it because they were thorough and found the problem to be something small and easily fixable. They're a small independent business in a neighborhood that is being redeveloped with luxury apartments. If you live in the area, and need your car repaired, go see them. Otherwise we'll be forced to go to corporate chains that will have no motivation to ensure your satisfaction because they'll be the only game in town. Help support exceptional small businesses! read more

Three Words: RIP OFF ARTIST One Word: Unscrupulous Went once for a simple tune up and had the week before filled the wiper fluid (one of two things I do myself for car maintenance). At pick-up I saw they charged me $5 for wiper fluid and they also changed spark plugs - which are not needed on a bmw until the 100k tuneup (this was the 50k). A few years later I forgave them because of the convenience of their location and took it in for another check up. Same issue on a bigger scale - told me I needed $3500 worth of work (went in for an oil change). While it was an older car, I took it for a second opinion elsewhere and not only were their quotes cheaper - they found smaller but crucial problems that Cesar did not address. Note: They did not know they were a "second opinion" garage. This is a garage for avoiding, even if you break down on the street in front of it. read more

My family and I have been a customer of Cesar's since we moved to L.A. in 2001. They have advised us on which used cars are worth of buying. They even made a part for an old Datsun we had given our daughter. I'm in the process of restoring and old Volvo, and they have been of invaluable help in advising me how to do so. We have had about a half dozen cars worked on over the years with Cesar's, and we have been so pleased with their honesty and integrity. Their prices are reasonable, as well. I cannot say enough nice things about Cesar's Auto Repair. Who would have ever thought I would find the best mechanic in my life, smack in the middle of Hollywood, California!?! Thanks, Cesar! You rock! read more
