    Needed a smog check on a 91 Camry, service was fast and passed, 20 minutes and $85. Happy it's done.

    I cannot say enough good things about Euro Car Masters! Took my car here last week for an oil leak…read moreafter dealing with a very frustrating experience with the Volkswagen dealership; finding this shop was truly a breath of fresh air. From the beginning, they were helpful, transparent, caring, considerate, and affordable. They actually took the time to explain what was going on with my car in a way that we could understand, instead of just handing us paperwork or sending us links and expecting us to figure everything out ourselves. A special shoutout to Brendan, who helped us throughout the process. He was absolutely amazing, patient, honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we understood what was happening with the car. He made an already stressful situation so much easier for us, and he definitely deserves recognition for the way he treats customers. There was no pressure, no runaround, and no feeling like we were being taken advantage of. Their pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of service and attention they provided. It is so hard to find a trustworthy shop, especially when dealing with European vehicles, but Euro Car Masters (Long Beach) definitely earned our trust. We will absolutely be bringing my Volkswagen back here for any future service or repairs. Highly recommend them!

Report showed leaking drain plug and needs new rear brakes and differential service. I let them replace the drain plug and differential service. When I got home, I still noticed oil leaks. I paid another shop for inspection ( bmw specialist) They found leaks on the air separator and oil filter housing. I had leaks resolved at the same shop. They also showed the error ( ghost code for the alternator) which they cleared. Did not get any obd testing result from Euro car masters. I am just disappointed for Euro car masters did not do a thorough inspection. I feel like they are more focused on replacing brakes, oil change and regular maintenance. I live near the shop but won't go back there anymore.

I was told for years that it was sealed and couldn't be done. This week these guys did it. Such a huge difference in handling! These guys (and gal) are absolutely no pressure and are self aware regarding repair costs, that I feel like I have time to fix things and not worry about high costs all at once. I could go on all day about them, but for sure I'm so glad that I finally found them. I highly recommend them!

    Used Yelp's business finder to get a few quotes for my two non-working low beam headlights, and…read morethis shop stood out right away. They responded quickly, were courteous, and didn't try to tack on a diagnostic fee just to take a look. When I dropped off the car, the technician walked me through their process, starting with the bulbs before moving into any potential electrical issues (which I really appreciated.) It ended up being the simplest fix: both bulbs were burned out. They had everything replaced within a few hours. Fair pricing, clear communication, and no upselling. I'll definitely be back for future repairs. Side note- they have the cutest shop kitten. ‍

    I had been here once before and had a great experience, so when my car's AT light went on…read moreunexpectedly one night I called them first thing the next morning to see if they could get it in. They said they could and gave me a timeline for working on the vehicle that matched my needs. While I appreciate them getting me in on short notice, they consistently over-promised and under-delivered on when they would be able to work on my vehicle. They were able to diagnose a couple of leaks that they thought were the problem and sent me photos to show me what they were looking at. In the past when I've left my car at this shop for work they sent over a detailed estimate before starting the work, but this time I only received the verbal estimate over the phone. I drive an old car, which isn't worth much, and I did let the person know that I wasn't interested in investing more in repairs than the vehicle is worth. As it was, the two leaks were just over $1K to fix, and I OK'd the work to begin. After fixing the first two leaks, they then came back and told me there was a third leak, which would require a more major repair to the transmission and they would have to have their transmission person (who wasn't there that weekend) send me an estimate the next day. While I understand that it's plausible that the third leak wasn't something they could have originally diagnosed, it felt a bit weird that the photo they used to show me the leak was one of the original photos they had sent before starting any work. If the leak was visible in that photo, I'm unclear why they couldn't have diagnosed it earlier. The added cost of this additional repair definitely tips the scales of worth-it/not-worth-it to repair vs replace this car, so I wish I had had all the information before deciding to make the initial repairs. Unfortunately, despite stabilizing the ATF level, fixing the leaks did not resolve the transmission issue. On a smaller scale, they didn't check or top up the tire pressure, which most mechanics I've gone to have done as a courtesy when working on my vehicle. The day after I picked up my car the tire pressure light went on, and when I checked my tires all four of them had low pressure. It's a small thing, but especially when dealing with expensive mechanical items like cars, the small things matter a lot in creating a sense of security and trust with your mechanic. They did mention that they were under new management since the last time I had been in, which may account for the different experiences.
