So thankful and grateful for Chris's guidance throughout this vehicle situation and I recommend reaching out if you want an honest mechanic! read more

Great service! I highly recommend! I think I found my new goto mechanic. My G37 was throwing codes for misfires. There was a terrible rough idle. I went a bought a set of spark plugs and ignition coils. There was also a gnarly exhaust leak so I bought a cat back exhaust system. I reached out to CSB and I couldn't be happier with the results. Everything was installed in my drive way and the car is working again. I am going to reach out again for all future repairs read more

I took a chance and brought my car to Chris and I'm so glad I did. Respectful, responsive, hard working, and a family man that's not trying to get over on you as a customer. Chris ordered my parts and had my car fixed within 36 hours. He even sent me pics step by step to put my partner at ease. He offered to come to me at no extra cost as well. Not too long after the repair, I had a little issue with a rock getting stuck in between my brakes, causing my wheels to make this scraping noise. I let him know and he fixed ASAP. No run around, no excuses. I'm grateful to Chris for saving me a LOT of money and time bc the other places I tried had my Jeep sitting for days before I even got a quote. Do yourself a favor and go with Chris. Ill be referring everyone I know to him and getting my deep clean from him next! I won't go to anyone else if I can help it. Thanks Chris. read more

CSB Automotive - Dodge Daytona Hellcat - Auto Detailing Near Me

Yes, Chris is a nice guy. But he lacks some of the basic necessities for running his own shop. If you know exactly what you need or already have the part, by all means he could be your guy. But for customers who don't know cars and are relying on a mechanic to help them (like me) then go to someone else. I need a catalytic converter replaced. He quoted me far below anyone else and so I called him first. Who doesn't need to save money? He asked me what part needed replacing but I told him I wasn't sure. He ordered a part and put it in but it was the wrong part. My fault was not knowing more about catalytic converters and I should have insisted he look at the car himself first. He should have done a test or diagnosed the car himself before replacing a completely unnecessary part. He told me he vividly remembers me telling him which part to replace so I'm out hundreds of dollars for a part that does nothing to help me pass smog. If I told a surgeon that my stomach hurt would they just cut me open without diagnosing the issue themselves? He will tell you he's not out here to get over on his customers. But actions speak louder than words. My quoted price changed 3 times. There's no invoicing to speak of so I don't even know what part was put on my car. And now I have to go to a shop to get the right part replaced anyway. I should have realized it was a huge red flag to be quoted a HUGE amount lower than any one else sending me quotes for the catalytic converter. Either he didn't know what part was going in to begin with or he was trying to deceive me. Either way, the trust is gone and I would not go back. Good luck. read more

CSB Automotive got back to me after I sent out a Yelp Request. Christopher was able to come out the very next day and for a very reasonable price! He did an absolutely AMAZING job! I wish I took before pictures.... my van was pretty filthy. He took his time and after he was done, my van looked like it came off the lot, brand new. I was incredibly impressed, grateful and pleased with his hard work. Would recommend him 100x over and absolutely use him again. Thanks so much Chris! read more

Chris is not only a wonderful person but a darn good mechanic. He knows what he's talking about and has now worked on two of my cars and a friend and I referred him to another friend.

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing truly exceptional service from Chris, who is an outstanding mechanic located in the heart of LA. Our seven-year-old VW battery decided to call it finally quits, (RIP - it served us well) & in the midst of our hectic scheduled, we needed a swift replacement. Enter Chris, an actual lifesaver. Chris instantly stands out from the crowd, he promptly responded to our request with the fairest rate you could imagine. From the very beginning, his friendly demeanor and vast knowledge reassured us. He wasn't just quick; he was lightning-fast, which was exactly what we needed. The logistics of getting our vehicle to him had us concerned, (towing a car around a city as busy & congested as LA feels approximately the 4th layer of hell), but Chris, being the absolute gem he is came to our location. This gesture saved us serious resources, not to mention countless headaches. He's super responsive by text & call, and within less than 24 hours of our first contact, Chris came over to us and got to replacing our battery, his accommodation and flexibility was simply unbelievable. He not only provided us with a top-notch battery but also ensured a flawless installation. Now, here's the kicker: we happened to chat with our regular mechanic up North, who absolutely insisted on a VW battery. Pro tip: never disagree with your mechanic. We chatted with Chris a bit to figure out what to do, and in addition to patiently offering us astounding advice, immediately offered to replace and exchange it for us, no questions asked. Honestly a true original who goes above & beyond to assist with anything you need. As graduate students, budgets will always pose a concern, but Chris quoted us an absolutely unbeatable rate. What truly sets him apart is his unwavering attention to detail and consistent check-ins to ensure everything was in place. Fixes you make are a long term investment on your car's lifetime, your wallet, and ultimately your safety. When your mechanic really goes above and beyond to make sure all this is to your liking, it's the greenest of green flags. Let me tell you this, if you're in the SoCal/LA area and want someone who genuinely cares and will take impeccable care of your vehicle, go straight to Chris. Chris is more like a trusted companion than a run-of-the-mill mechanic (clearly they're not mutually exclusive). For that reason, as long as we're in the SoCal/LA county area, we're definitely going with Chris as our default. We seriously can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much for an awesome job well done! read more

Requested a transmission service. After a brief description of the problem I was having, he recommended to replace transmission. Response was very quick. Agreed on a date/time to drop off vehicle, provided me with an invoice detailing everything to be done on the car. Kept the car there because it was a rather big job but he kept me updated throughout the whole process. Picked up the car later that week and my problem has since gone away! Answered all questions I had regarding the car, the repair, part guarantee, everything. Even called me the week after I picked up the car to make sure everything was running well! Definitely bringing my car back here whenever I need a service done, big or small! read more

The brake light and check engine light were both on in my car (BMW X1) and when I spoke to Chris he was very knowledgeable and professional. Without even asking me, he explained what was going on with my car and what were my best options. He came to my location and fixed my brakes pretty quickly. The other things I need to fix are not urgent but I will definitely be calling him when the time comes. read more

All in all great and professional. With today's prices I would gladly pay him time and time again for mobile mechanic services. Highly recommend read more

Chris, man this dude is a mechanical angel! I initially thought I had an issue with my upper tube for my coolant. Chris gave me a flat rate and even went to buy the part himself out of pocket. After he got to my house(Yes! He is mobile!) he change the tube out due to the tub being damaged, he found out it was actually the thermostat that was giving me issues. After fixing that for me(for the same rate he quoted,) my car worked fine! I only needed to get the car to be able to work enough so I could trade it in Saturday, Chris hooked it up for me so I made sure to pay him extra because honestly good work is rare these days especially in LA. If you need your car fixed, this is who you go to! read more

Responsive and did great work. Thorough and courteous. Would definitely recommend. It was an extremely hot day and still did amazing. Thank you! read more

Chris responded right away with available times and a reasonable quote. He said he was going to stop at his home in between jobs to shower. It wouldn't have bothered me at all if he showed up dirty. You're a mechanic, you're going to get dirty. But, he seems to care about his work and making his clients happy. Definitely recommend. read more

My power steering pump went out. Chris was able to service the car at my location.. was professional, knowledgeable and friendly (also better prices). Work was done pretty quick, I will be contacting him in the future if anything comes up again. read more

I can proudly give Chris 5 stars , his service was exceptionally rare. He didn't just work when the job was over but until the job was completed fixed , he's very responsive, very patient, and very kind. You can genuinely tell he knows what he's doing and that he has a lot to offer. He's a respectful man, immensely professional and a hardworking devoted person. I am happy that I took my business with him, and definitely recommend what he has to offer to others , 5/5 100%. read more

First and foremost Chris is a great guy. He is a family guy. That's definitely always a plus in my book. I reached out to him, told him my issue and he was able to help me. I had a leak in my radiator, he had everything ready when I had arrived. He replaced my radiator in less than 2hours. Quality work! His prices are beyond reasonable. Best deal and quality work. I appreciate this guy! Definitely my new mechanic. read more

I needed detailing and honestly Chris gave me one of the best value (and best reviews online) he contacted me the same day and gave me the details. Fast forward to the appointment he was really honest and said that some spots were really difficult and it couldn't get off 100%. I value the honesty he had and I know my car is clean (before my car had a bad smell and a weird touch sensation on the seats, now it doesn't) and smells good after the detailing. I really recommend his service. read more

Chris is so amazing y'all! He knows everything and anything about cars! I am so so glad I chose this company to do work on my car. He has kept me constantly updated, gave me multiple options with every route that we could take, and been super helpful. He does not slack at all. He gets work done!! I 100% recommend this business to anyone that needs any work done! Thanks for being so awesome Chris I appreciate you!!! read more

Thorough, great communication, takes the time to make sure you understand what the problem is and what the cost covers. I finally got an oil leak fixed that I had been putting off for years both due to cost, but mainly due to uneasiness in finding a trusted mechanic. Chris immediately put me at ease that my car was in good hands with his transparency on the service and delivered as such. 10/10 would recommend! read more

i drove from norcal & as soon as I pulled up to my airbnb, my car shut off. turns out I needed my alternator replaced. on sunday evening. the day before labor day. chris was the first mechanic to reach out & i'll be honest, I was apprehensive af because his prices were SO competitive to the other requests I received back. his business also didn't have one of those "trusted business" badges. but, I took a gamble thanks to all the people who had left reviews. chris said he could come monday morning before 9:30am...ON A HOLIDAY! I was speechless. his workmanship is impeccable & not only did he come to my airbnb & do the repair there, he did that repair within an hour! most shops said it was a difficult repair & that it would take 4 hours at the minimum. if you're looking for an honest, man of his word kind of professional, look no further. you will not be disappointed. chris even took the time to follow up the next day to make sure everything was running perfectly. thanks again chris I made sure to share your info with my airbnb host since they too have a mini cooper. best of luck on your new endeavor. read more

Chris came to my house and looked at the issue. Saw it wasn't what it initially appeared to be and fixed the the car on the spot at a 50% lower price than what was originally quoted. He was fast, honest (I checked the parts price), and I will be using him again if needed. read more

Chris is very hardworking and so very helpful. He also is considerate and finds ways to help however he can. I needed a new catalytic converter and no other shops had any available and Chris was able to find one for me. He installed the converter successfully. I had other issues unrelated come up with my car and Chris was able to help fix those other things. Thanks to Chris now my car runs after 6 months of being non operational! He has great service and for great value. Thank you Chris! read more
