I called A-1 Muffler Express looking to change my OEM mufflers and Coil overs. Spoke with Yen and…read morehe was super helpful with his recommendations and availability. He did warn me that it could be a little wait due to high volume of clients. I ended up going with a muffler delete and replaced my suspension with coil overs. Yen took care of the muffler delete and Lee and two other very helpful gentlemen took care of my coil overs. I have to say I am very satisfied with the quality of work for the value. They quoted me way under anyone else that I had called prior to going with them. I will recommend A-1 Muffler Express to all of my friends and family. They all make you feel that you're part of the family. They offered me coffee and cold water while I waited for my car to be done. One thing to remember, they are experts in mufflers, exhaust systems, and not any other type of work. But it never hurts to ask if they can do it for you!

I needed to replace my front and rear brakes on my 2018 Equinox. I received many different quotes…read morefrom other mechanics, quoting me over $300 for labor only. I reached out to Refined Auto with the same request, and it was a more reasonable price, especially since I had no idea if I needed to do anything to my rotors. My dad was present while Cesar worked on my car, and my dad gave me such a glowing review of how Cesar worked. My dad has not been able to stop talking about how Cesar did an amazing job on my car, how clean he works, how he keeps his tools, and his communication. My dad was so impressed with the quality of work Cesar provided on my car that he decided to get a quote for replacing his rotors. When Ceasr finished on my car, he let me know that my brake fluid was not in good condition. He drained my brake fluid and replaced it with new fluid. He explained to me in detail that brake fluid should not be topped off. I had no idea, and apparently, my dad didn't know either, and we had topped it off because it was low. Now, I know, for future reference, that when it's low, I should replace my brakes. I appreciate the work that Cesar did on my car and his communication. I will absolutely use his service again and recommend him to friends and family.

I took my car in a few weeks ago for an oil change and quote for new brakes, and then took it back…read moretoday to have the brake service performed. on both occasions Zeph helped address my concerns. during the oil change they performed a vehicle inspection and provided a link with images/videos of all the listed concerns triaged by most critical. it provided a lot of context and provided so much transparency on what was worked on or needed work; the link allowed me to share with my boyfriend (car owner) the findings as well. when i came to pickup the first time, Zeph gave me the run down on all the findings but one thing stuck with me: he said my air filter was dirty and could use a replacement, but added that i "have hands and can probably figure it out"; "i don't think i need to charge you to have me do it". and he is correct! that small exchange let me know my vehicle was in good hands. often times, especially as a woman, i have mechanics try to upsell me on small items that i can (and have) replaced on my own, or that weren't truly safety critical items. Zeph didn't try to upsell me on items or make me feel inferior for having any questions - he was honest and professional both times, and i look forward to continuing my business with him. all together the service has been stellar and the price has been a great value for the quality of service you get. the photo inspection report alone help put me at ease because i didn't just have to trust the mechanic's word - he showed me, and documented it all.

I visited several local auto repair shops, including Lexus of Cerritos, to fix the liftgate on my…read more2019 Lexus NX300, which wasn't working. Neither the remote control nor the power button could open it. Other shops suggested the problem might be with the shocks, motors, electrical wiring, or a combination of these. However, Zeph referred me to the relevant pages in the owner's manual that explained how to turn the PBD on if it was off. By following these instructions, I activated the PBD and was able to open the trunk using both the remote and the power button. My experience as a client was excellent--not only due to the technician's expertise, but also because of their customer-focused approach in helping to find solutions. I highly recommend Top Line Automotive.

This place looked questionable based on the location and its appearance when I pulled up... but the…read moretwo employees were polite, and the quoted price for an alignment on my 4x4 Grand Cherokee was more than fair--even though they were closing in less than an hour and had other vehicles they were working on. One of the workers did a quick test drive, then started on the alignment right away without delay, did another test drive, and got me out of there in less than 40 minutes. I needed the alignment fixed before my road trip to Oregon because my steering wheel was off-center and the vehicle was pulling to one side. I do wish they had shown me the before-and-after numbers for camber, toe, caster, and thrust. Yes, the Jeep now drives straight, but I can't say for certain if all the alignment angles are truly well-balanced--or if they just made minimal adjustments to get it to track straight. I would still recommend them and will most likely return for another alignment service on my other Jeep after off-roading.

Thanks 3 Brothers you saved me around $1200.

I had a great experience with MSB! I initially called in and spoke to Mike to get a quote and see…read morewhat I needed for my Mercedes C300 brakes and was told to go in person so they can better analyze the situation and tell me in person. I was helped by Shawn and he checked my car and told me I only needed to change my rear brakes only so that made me already trust him bc he wasn't trying to upsale and get me to pay for the front ones when they weren't needed. He also told me that one of my rear rotors needed to be replaced and I knew that was already going to be the case since that was my reason for calling (I was hearing a screeching noise every time I pressed on my brake) and unfortunately if I replace 1 rear rotor, I would need to replace the other. Shawn was able to get the parts for me the same day and both the brakes and rotors were OEM for mercedes. He charged me the original price for all the parts and then added a fair price for the labor. I needed to go back home, and Shawn was nice enough to drive me home (I live about 5 min away) After about 3 hours, my car was ready. When I went back, I was helped by Eddie and he was also very nice! He explained what was done on my car, showed me my old brake pads and rotors and explained how I can keep an eye on it in the future. My car is also due for B service soon and he said they can complete that for $275 when it's time. This is amazing since it's over $900 at the dealership! I will be recommending MSB to all my family that drive mercedes! Mike, Shawn, and Eddie provided amazing customer service with unbeatable prices!

Huge thanks to the entire MSB team for their expertise, honesty, and outstanding customer service. I highly recommend them to any Mercedes owner looking for trustworthy and knowledgeable mechanics!
