I had a great experience with Community Auto Center and especially Bo. My 2015 Honda Accord needed to be smog certified, and the vehicle had to be transported unattended from Menifee. I called ahead and spoke with Bo, who coordinated everything and made the process incredibly easy. Once the car arrived via Wind & Sea Towing, Bo promptly inspected the vehicle and verified that it was emissions-ready before moving forward. He then coordinated directly with the smog station to ensure everything was handled properly. Bo, a knowledgeable and professional mechanic, ensured a smooth and hassle-free experience throughout the process. What could have been a stressful situation turned into a seamless journey. I highly appreciate his meticulous attention to detail and his willingness to go the extra mile to help me get my car back on the road legally. read more

I took my car there this morning for the first time, as this place was highly recommended in a local community Facebook group that I'm in. and this is my honest review: They were fantastic! My car suddenly wouldn't start last week. I had no idea what was wrong. Tried it multiple times over a few days without success, so I finally got up early before street cleaning today and tried to start it once more before calling the tow truck. However, it started! ‍ I took it anyways and when I pulled in, a friendly mechanic named John quickly came out of the office to ask how he can help. I told him the issue I was having. He immediately went into help mode and checked the battery informing me it was at 87% so not that. Then he connected my car and ran a diagnostic. No codes came up. He didn't see anything wrong. Started the car multiple times with no issue. Said the starter may be going out but didn't want to guess because it could be something else and didnt want to waste my money. Another guy came up while John was checking under the hood. He sent him to look my car up to check if there were any recalls, which I was happy to find out that there weren't. John told me to bring the car back if it happens again. I asked him how much I owed him, fulling expecting to be charged for his time and service as I have had to pay Meidas $200 to run a diagnostic before. He said "No charge."I was so happy that I gave him a hug! Super nice guys. They were professional, clean cut, KIND, generous with their time, and seemed to me to be very honest. There were already several people waiting patiently for John as I got in my car and drove away. Great experience! Will definitely use them again in the future! Thank you SO much!!! read more

First of all, I would like to say thank you for helping me out with my car. My check engine light was on and I didn't know what the issue was. They were really nice and took the time to assist me. They were really busy but made time for me, even when I showed up at the last minute. I feel much better now that the check engine light is gone. read more

Outstanding Service & Honest Mechanics! I have found a cluster of quality auto mechanics in Los Angeles over the years but in my experience with Community Auto Center, I find that they are the best! When I walked in, John greeted me with a smile and a firm handshake. He took the time to listen to my explanation of what I thought was happening with my truck and then spent more than 30 minutes diagnosing the engine and found the problem. After making several suggestions on what the best options for the repair work would be, he also advised me on some simple upgrades that would save me money for the long term use of my truck. The team here is knowledgeable and also honest, something that can be hard to find in the auto repair industry. I brought my truck in for what I thought was a major issue, but instead of upselling me on unnecessary repairs, they diagnosed the problem and fixed it at a very reasonable price. They even took the time to explain everything to me that was going on with the engine. I am grateful to have found this place and I will be back for all the maintenance and future needs of my vehicles. The shop is clean, well-organized, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. My truck has been running solid since the repair work was done about 6 months ago and I know it's because of the mechanics that work here. If you're looking for a reliable, fair, and honest auto repair shop, Community Auto Center is where it's at! Thanks again John and the mechanics, your integrity is 100%. I recommend this shop to my family, friends and co-workers because I know the value of having an auto mechanic that is trust worthy and professional. read more

Got dispatched by Tesla Roadside to help with my disabled Model Y near LAX after dropping a friend off all the way from the Inland Empire. I'm so bad with names, my tow driver Jose(?) (Totally slipped my mind many apologies) was nothing but cordial and accommodating and just exulted customer service. Gave me reassurance the entire ordeal and made sure I was properly taken cared of at the Tesla Centinela service center early in the morning after an overnight in my car. (Didn't want to get towed at midnight and get stuck at a closed service center all night next to no convenience stores). Thanks so much for being there in a stressful moment to help me out. read more

Highly recommend this place. John is very knowledgeable and prompt with his service. The prices are very reasonable and they work with your budget. I get my Lexus serviced and my 2001 civic (in the process of restoration) done by this place. Great job! read more

rip off and fake service. went for ac issues and they charged me $180 for a refill of the freeze gas recharge. but i asked them to see if any vsisual leaks and after 45min told me they didnt see anything but refilled the gas and told me to comeback if my ac blows warm air again. 5 months later it ac blows warm alr and decided to goto another shop and for just an ac gas refill again and they said $60 which is standard from shops that i found out later and soon as they opened my car hood they saw the ac hose was leaking as the hose was all wet. pretty obvious those community auto mechanics had no idea what a wet ac hose is or just lied so i can keep coming back for endless refills at $180 read more

Can't even trust the good help! Very disappointed to discover the "new" Goodyear tire sold to me last May to replace my pothole blown tire was a 2019 used Goodyear tire that was silicon sealed to my rim. I went back a few months later with psi leak concerns and John said tires just sometimes do that and my psi was fine. The quick fix didn't even last a year, so thanks, John, for being more concerned with getting my car back on the road than fitting me with a correct new tire. read more

I pulled in because my AC wasn't working, fully expecting that I would have to leave my car for several hours at least. Instead, a mechanic instantly attended to me, diagnosed the problem, and repaired it. I was in & out in less than 20 minutes. read more

Stopped by right at 8AM for a quick oil change and the guys were so kind and fast. They started right away and even checked my tires and topped them off with air without me asking. I can't say enough great things about this place. Will come here for all my car issues. read more

Most reliable place to go in LA, got my car back the same day. I always recommend people to come here. Thank you John!

I recently moved back to Hollywood, so was able to bring my car back to Community. They're nice folks and I've never had a problem; their estimates are really fair, and the work is well done. read more

I hate leaving negative reviews however this is a must. I got a flat in my car at 7:45 pm, in a parking lot of a 24 hour pharmacy. My roadside assistance called them. When they contacted I told the driver I was in a pharmacy parking lot getting prescriptions. When he arrived he told me I had to drive my car to the main street because he would not drive his flat bed in to the large parking lot. So I reluctantly did as he asked slowly hoping not to damage my rim on my tire. When I got behind his flatbed he said he needed to drive my car on the flat bed. I noticed he didnt have a mask on him. I assumed it was inside his truck. I asked him if he could wear a mask in my car. He laughed said he didn't wear a mask. I told him, i did chemo last night and i needed him to wear a mask, he laughed and said I would have to wait another 90 minutes. Then he left. I called the road side assistance back. They contacted the driver who lied and said he was still there. He had been long gone by now. When road side assistance said they requested another driver from the same company, tow company, I decided to be proactive. I called the dispatcher of the company to make sure who ever came would understand my plight and would be mask ready . He laughed said, "no one there uses a mask, it is too hard to drive with it." I explained to him the situation and he said no one there wears a mask and everyone was going to get this virus and I needed to get it. I told him that because I just did chemotherapy last night, their driver ciyld get me sick and kill me. Thats when he said no one would be picking me up from their company. Be careful out there everyone. I called my road side assistance center again and they found me another company that was very happy to have a driver who would wear a mask in my car. (323) 466-1097 Community auto service I would NOT EVER RECOMMEND PANDEMIC OR NOT. THE DRIVERS NAME WAS Rodolfo Ibarra 909.232.6451 Dispatchers # 323.466.1097 Flatbed license # 24925x2 Whether it be covid, the flu or a cold, companies like this are how superspreaders start and why we are still in this pandemic. read more

Overall we are very happy with their service. My daughter brought her car over recently for the very first time as recommended by a friend for some repairs. She had a very good experience. Nice people and their estimates are really fair and their work seemed to be well done. This will be my daughter's go to place for auto service. An added convenience is having it only 10 minutes away from her apartment. read more

I have been going to Community Auto for at least 15 years, probably more. No matter what the issue with any of my cars and there have been several,Mazda Miata, Mazda RX8, Hyundai Genesis Coupe, MB SL500, just to name a few. John has been honest and fair with me. Whenever I show up, I usually can count on him to help me right away and take care of repairs as quickly as possible. I recommend this shop to anyone who is in need of a mechanic! Thanks John! Really appreciate you! read more

Another great experience with Community Auto. Took my car in for regular maintenance. Quick service, John is so friendly and makes the process very easy. I feel really comfortable going here. I'm not a car person at all, and I never get the sense that I'm being taken advantage of or talked into doing more for my car than I want to. Reasonable pricing too. Will be very sad when we move and have to find a new mechanic. read more

I've been bringing my vehicles here for 7 plus years now!! John has always been honest and fair with me and my cars! Always friendly and efficient! I highly recommend you bring your car here when it's in need of service! read more

Above and beyond! John is super nice and you can tell he's a great person and trustworthy. Recommend.

This is the place for all your auto service needs. The best service I've had for my whip in years

I moved to LA about two years ago and I've been trying to find an honest mechanic to help me out with my van which is a 91 so sometimes mechanics don't even want to work on it. John has been super understanding, super communicative and super helpful when it comes to getting my van what it needs. You can tell that he cares, and he shows that he listens. I came in a while ago for leaking coolant and they solve it immediately. They've done a few jobs for me and I am a fan now. I'll definitely be back and now they are my go-to mechanic. Trust me, if you're looking for a mechanic you can trust to do the job right and give you a great price, John and Community auto are your people. If you drive an old vehicle, they will help you!!!! new or old, super happy with them. Thank you John!!!!! read more

Very helpful and treated my partner and I kindly. After comparing 5 places, they gave a fair price as well

My daughter's VW Tiquan broke down in LA. Not knowing any auto mechanics I used AAA recommendation and had the car dropped at Community Auto Center. These guys are fair, honest, and reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

Updating my review for Community Auto, they are still the best around! Community Auto has done lots of work for my little car over the years, everything from big repairs to oil changes/wheel alignment. I found them totally by chance a few years ago when my car broke down and they were the recommended Triple A repair shop. I am super grateful to John and his team for all the quality work they've done. While I moved out of the area, I only live a couple hours away and took my car in a few weeks ago for some repairs on the suspension. I totally trust John and his team with my car to repair it quickly and at a great price - less than what I was quoted at a big box store to do the same repairs. John was very nice to fit me in on a Saturday to accommodate my schedule and turned the repair around in the same day. One thing I always appreciate too is that they give me an honest breakdown about what needs to be done and how to best care for my little high-mileage car. Community Auto Center is truly the best around! For any/all repairs that I can still make the drive to LA, I'll take it back to Community Auto. And the office cats are cuter than ever. I've recommended Community Auto to my friends in LA and I highly recommend them to fellow Yelpers! read more

Joel from "community auto service" a AAA service provider located at 6800 Melrose Ave Los Angeles, CA 90038, asked me to pay $200 for the tow after we agreed on a much lower price on site where I got hit-and-run. I fought my way back to make him giving up scamming me at the end. Do not trust these guys. read more

I have been going to this auto center for years now & I will continue to trust that when I have any issues with my car, John will be there to assist. His honesty as a mechanic in LA is rare to find & when you do find an honest mechanic you can trust, you hang on to them. Fortunately, this last visit was a simple & affordable one but it's the fact that I can rely on Community Auto to be honest & not come up with any bullshit problems just to hike the charges! For reliable, friendly & affordable automotive services trust Community! read more

Brought my car in to get after market headlights wired, they were wired into the wrong spot. Asked to have bulbs changed into whiter ones and had the exact same ones put in, but placed half way so one of the bulbs was sitting right on the housing and melted into it. At least for wiring I'd say don't come here at all. read more

I started coming to Community Auto about 1.5 years ago after moving to the area. I own an old Saturn that needs regular maintenance. Every time I've ever called and came in, I've always received super friendly service from John and the team there. Plus they have an office cat! Their pricing is very fair and I've never been up sold or told to repair things that weren't needed. I feel comfortable going there and trusting their work. I've had several oil changes and had a tire replaced. Definitely recommend! read more

If you want excellent, honest and affordable service this is the place to take your vehicle! I have been taking my vehicles to this place for years and they have always been on point. I enthusiastically give this place two thumbs up!!! read more

Went here after my car started overheating not sure how to handle. Called in and they answered, super responsive, were able to help quickly and figured out the problem within minutes. They even taught me a few things about the car I didn't know about! Would recommend for anyone looking for a good car service center read more

Had a flat and got taken care of immediately. Called in few minutes before arrival and they were very professional and helpful.

They lead you to think that they will fix your car but it will never be ready. I don't trust this place and I hope you Dont either.

Will always come back here! Most trustworthy and reliable mechanic around! I only been to this shop once before, more than a year ago, and when I showed up for another repair this week on a new car, they remembered who I was and were so happily to immediately help me! I came for a coolant leak and they even replaced all the lights that were out in my car as well for no charge! thank you so much for always coming to the rescue! read more

You can count on this place to take care of you. I recommend bringing your car here if you're looking for honest and affordable car care. They fixed my car and then fixed it again for free because it was under warranty. Prices are always cheaper here than surrounding Hollywood shops. read more
