Oil change and serpentine belt replacement! Great customer service and affordable! This is my new maintenance and repair auto shop.

This is the best, most honest auto repair shop I've ever been to. Luis is a phenomenal, honest, fair, and hardworking businessman. My wheel bearing fell apart on my way home to San Jose (350 miles away). I got to the shop at 4:50pm, by 5:10pm Luis diagnosed the issue and ordered parts ASAP and was super transparent about the part and labor costs. He started working on the fix immediately after receiving expedited parts and he had us on my way home by 8pm!! He was so hospitable and made me and my girlfriend feel super welcome. He restored my faith in humanity. I wish I had a mechanic like him back home. If I'm ever in the area again and need help, I know where I'll be going. read more

This is a place that is highly recommended!! I am from LA, and aost 90% of mechanics are not always the most straightforward, especially if you are a female. It's true. I do know a little bit of basics due to my bad experience in car troubles. But Luis is such a professional, honest person. I really found a good mechanic that will do a thorough diagnostic. I am glad he was able to find the issue with my breaks and belt in the vehicle. My little old car had the service it really needed. It drives very well, and I am happy and safer. The value of service was very reasonable. read more

Luis was referred to me by a co-worker many years ago. I feel he has always been honest with me. When I bought a new car and had the recommended oil changes at the dealer, sometimes they would suggest other work to be done. I always took my car to Luis to confirm if the work was really needed or not. Sometimes yes but most of the time no. And of course Luis is more affordable than a dealership. Luis is friendly and personable so you feel like you are his friend and not just a client. I trust him completely. read more

Came here after a horrible experience at another auto shop and Luis completely inspired a change of heart. I went from salty to sweet real quick! I briefly explained all the things the former auto shop claimed to be wrong with my car, Luis relieved my anxiety when he basically offered to inspect my car for free and told me everything was fine. I mean who does that?! He also informed me of what I should watch for soon (my break pads in a few months). His honesty, kindness and authenticity blew me away. It's so hard to trust people these days and Luis served as a beautiful reminder that good people do exist. read more

Luis is the owner and what a great guy! He is very honest and upfront with what needed to be done with my mothers Fiat. He made us feel very comfortable throughout the repairs and did good quality work. Definitely found our new mechanic going forward and very happy with his work. I would definitely recommend him and prices are good. read more

Luis, the owners was absolutely incredible! Too many times have I dealt with shady mechanics that milk you for everything they can but not Luis. He's been at this for a few decades and when I brought my vehicle to have a issue figured out and fixed, he only changed me for the work he did and not the diagnostic. The man and the mechanics he has working for him have the utmost integrity along with incredible skill. Look nowhere else read more

I've found my new trusted mechanic! The door handle to my Nissan Rogue broke and I ordered the part thinking I could do it myself. After watching a few videos I decided that was a silly idea, so I called a few shops near me. Luis was by far the kindest person I spoke to and sounded the most trustworthy. His hourly labor charge was a bit more than the mechanic I had been going to, but he was confident it wouldn't take him an hour to do (where the other shop quoted at least two hours). I dropped off my car around 9 AM and while waiting for an Uber, Luis actually offered to drop me off at home which was such a sweet offer. I had asked if it would be possible to have it done by 2, but around 11 he called and said it was all done. When I picked it up I chatted with him about my AC being broken and he tried a quick fix to see if he could get it working (it didn't work but I really appreciate him trying). I didn't realize until later but he even fixed the issue that was causing my check engine light to go off! I'll definitely be back for the plethora of repairs this car needs. Don't be fooled by the slightly higher hourly price-- he's definitely worth it and is way more efficient and trustworthy than any other mechanic I've been to. Thanks Luis! read more

So helpful and informative quick services and honestly love calling it's never a hassle super honest mechanics that don't try to bankrupt my college wallet and don't judge my super ugly car. read more

Luis fixed up my wife's Kia Forte, the driver-side handle randomly just...broke...We called around to local auto shops and Luis' business was highly recommended by his neighbors. He did awesome, quick work. The part is a rarer specialty part and it only took a few days to get it delivered and installed. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Luis is very kind and a true gentleman. His service is top notch, he is organized, clean, and highly communicative. I actually owe him $7 because I didn't bring enough cash on my last visit. I was so embarrassed, and I told him I would go to the bank and head back. He told me not to worry about it and asked me to pay it forward. My experience with mechanics has never been this honest, thoughtful, and accurate. I appreciate him very much. He does great work and is a great person! read more

Good honest and skillful auto mechanics are always worthy of praise and recommendation! Luis Zago owner of Dan's Automotive does great work, very professional, reasonable in cost. Luis took great care of my car, very competent, very friendly. I highly recommend Dan's Automotive for your car repairs. Take note, I usually post a recommendation after I have been to business twice or more and that I am completely satisfied with their service, professionalism. Luis will cover everything that is needed to be done in a simplistic way we all understand. Thank you Luis for your outstanding work with my car! You're the best! JR Monrovia read more

They were great!!! My air conditioner was going out so I called around town on a Friday afternoon to get it fixed. Most places told me they could not get me in or to come back the following week. Luis told me to bring the car in and he checked out the air conditioner and showed me the problem and gave me different options for repair. Dropped it off at 4 pm on Friday and he told me it would be done by 12:00 pm the next day. He called at 11:55 and told me the car was ready! Great service great communication, great people!!! read more

LUIS IS THE BEST. My "engine overheat - low coolant" light turned on and, because my vehicle has a fail-safe feature, I was unable to drive it. I had no idea the coolant was low as the vehicle had been recently serviced and no "coolant low" light came on. I put coolant in but the car still wouldn't respond. Fortunately, my friends in Duarte recommended Luis. We called him at 6:07 pm and he offered to come to the vehicle and check it out, even though it was past closing time. He brought his scanner, reset the codes to reflect that the coolant was replaced, and I was able to drive home without incident. And he refused to take any money! I scheduled a time to bring in my vehicle for servicing (correctly this time) and look forward to using Luis for any vehicle issue in the future. I highly recommend this kind and honest mechanic! read more

I have taken my car to Dans Automotive and found Luise the owner and Head Mechanic to be an excellent Mechanic. He also charges a very fair price compared to anyone else in the area. My two grown sons also bring their cars to him. One of my sons moved to Burbank but still brings his auto down here to have Luise (at Dans Automotive) work on it, because he does not trust anyone else! Luise is a good honest hard working man who won't do you wrong and won't over charge you! He is a friendly family man and will show you exactly what he fixed and the old parts too. My husband and my sons and I highly recommend Dans Automotive in Monrovia. Mairead read more

Have been coming here for years now.! So happy i have a place to go where i don't have to be worried about being ripped off or scammed. Luis is always super helpful and accommodating!

I'm definitely glad I went here and met Luis to help me with my old Saturn! I feel comfortable enough returning again as a customer. I liked that they didn't try taking advantage of someone that knew nothing about cars/ engines. read more

Integrity of a local business. I had my belts changed. After calling a few places, I appreciated that Dan explained exactly what I'd be paying for. No one tried to get me to buy things I didn't need. Kind with fair price. Highly recommended. read more

I took my car here, and had a very good experience. Luis, the owner, is very honest and knowledgeable. I felt like he was very helpful, and truly had my best interests in mind. He was able to fix the issue with my car for considerably less than what the "big" dealership was trying to charge just to diagnose the issue. I highly recommend Dan's Automotive. It's always great when you can rely on an honest local mechanic. Thanks Luis. read more

Luis was extremely kind and thorough in terms of discussing what needed to be fixed with my vehicle and my various options. He was more than fair and I recommend everyone have their vehicle serviced by him. read more

My car started making horrible groaning sounds this morning and I needed it tomorrow to drive to Corona. I called around but no one could take a look and have it back to me today. Louis saw me right away, fixed the problem, and didn't charge me a dime. He said it was no problem, an easy fix. I am extremely grateful. He is a kind man and very honest. read more

Absolutely the most honest, reliable and reasonable mechanic around. Luis runs a quality shop and knows every customer by name. I never have to worry that I'm paying for unnecessary repairs of parts. Do yourself a favor and head to Dan's the next time you're in need of auto maintenance or repair! read more

My Hyundai Sonata wouldn't start. I called Luis for the first time, and like the best kind of doctor, he asked several questions and listened closely. He shared his opinions but said he wouldn't know for sure until he and Tony had thoroughly diagnosed it. They did, and identified a broken starter. They replaced it for a very reasonable price, hundreds less than the dealership. When I picked it up, they even showed me the broken part. Luis and Tony were honest, fast, knowledgeable, helpful (took the time to patiently explain and answer all my questions), cost far less than the dealer and did a good job. I will definitely go back, and to family and friends will highly recommend. read more

Excellent trustworthy mechanics. Luis is a great guy and I never worry about him trying to sell me something that I don't really need. I absolutely trust him and he does great work at a very reasonable price. read more

My family and I have had all of our family's cars serviced here for over ten years, and we have consistently received excellent service, very fair pricing, and timely repairs/maintenance. Luis never sells us something we don't need. Over the years I come to trust him completely. read more

These guys are awesome! I've been here twice so far, and both times they've done exemplary work on my vehicle. The mechanics here are highly knowledgeable, as well as incredibly friendly. Luis and his team went out of their way to accommodate for my circumstances, and I will undoubtedly be taking my car here for repairs in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of automotive services. read more

I've been going to Dan's for a few years and Luis has always been honest and genuine as a mechanic. I totally recommend Dan's Automotive for your car repair needs. Pricing is fair and he explains everything and answers all questions and you don't feel like your getting ripped off at all. I trust Luis and his recommendations for my vehicles. read more

I took my car to Dan's when I suspected I was being ripped off by another mechanic. Turns out, yes, I was being ripped off by another mechanic. Luis at Dan's didn't give up until he found the problem and corrected it. Not like other mechanics who see a female and try to take them for every dollar they can. Dan's Automotive is honest, friendly, great priced... I will be taking my car here from now on, and recommend them to everyone I know. read more

Luis is an amazingly caring mechanic. I had problems losing power in my Nissan Rogue coming over the Grapevine from Reno. Found his shop on Yelp; he gave me a $75 estimate to find the problem and then whatever cost for parts to fix. Luis put $25 in gas into my car and even drove it up into the hills to see if he could spot any problems as the diagnostics came up without anything wrong. When I went to pick up my car, he only charged me $50!!! Said he couldn't charge me more because he could not identify what had gone wrong. Said he felt that was only fair. I am truly grateful for his care and kindness, and for having had to find a mechanic while away from home, I feel he was truly an 'angel'. I'd entrust him with my car any time!!! read more
