Tucked in the middle of this busy auto repair plaza, DC Auto is now one of my go to places for work on my vehicles. Referred by my friend, Danny (owner) was able to do for my German car that my usual mechanic said "Oh no ... we don't touch that" He also quoted me a reasonable price. I didn't bother shopping around because one shop I came across before DC Auto quoted me nearly triple. I also learned a few things about newer cars and which engines are a headache to work on and which are not. Guess I'm not getting any more German cars. It's nice to find a mechanic who can do what others run away from, at a decent rate. read more

DC Auto Repair - Left side, near the middle of this auto repair plaza. - Auto Repair Near Me - Arcadia, California

I go to Evolution next door but when they're busy I come to DC. I notice DC's prices comparable but on the higher side when he feels like up charging. This review is in regards to his up charge. Went in yesterday to get my headlight bulbs replaced and he charged $40. I made the mistake of giving him high beam bulbs. He said he can buy the parts and wanted to charge me $70 for the bulbs. I said no thanks. Bought some from Amazon for $29. Came back today and he's charging me $120. I was dumbfounded bc he just said $40 yesterday now he wants to up charge me an arm and a leg -it's BS y'all. His reason was he was busy and said that it's too hard for him to do... doesn't make sense. I ended up going to Ming Star Auto on Las Tunas and Baldwin next to the McDonald's. The guy charged me $40 and finished in 10 mins. In conclusion- find a different mechanic. DC gives me shady vibes. If you have a Toyota and Honda go next door to Evolution they're honest, reliable, affordable and excellent at their work. read more

Great service, quality and value. I've gone here for oil changes, valve cover gasket repair and lower control arms on my vehicle. Everything was done in a timely manner. read more

Danny is honest and easy to work with. I brought several cars to him in the past a Subaru Forrester and a Tesla and he was able to quickly identify some mechanical issues and repair problems pretty quickly. read more

Cracked my oil pan (near the drain plug) after an oil change at DC Auto Repair and they claim it's a typical occurrence with Hondas and Acuras which is unheard of! read more

Extremely rude, terrible service. With so many other highly rated mechanic shops nearby, take your business elsewhere.

Another 5 star review for Danny. If you're looking for a Honest, reliable, mom & pop mechanic shop. This is it! I've been coming to Danny for my maintenance for quite sometime now and he's always been good to me. He's also very friendly and helpful. He would never push something for you to do unless it was not safe or not required yet. Take into note that tuners will not be into this place as he focuses on OEM parts read more

I have been coming here for the past 5 years. Danny has taken such great care of my cars over the years. He really treats your vehicle as his own. He is honest, detailed, and reasonably priced. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Very poor service got there at 430 pm and said I couldn't get an oil change , and they are racist

I just needed a nail out of my tire. Danny said he couldn't take credit at the moment. Fair. I told him my mom would come with cash. He proceeds to fix the brakes of another car when all I needed was to get the nail out of my car. I had to wait the ENTIRE time before he went back to my car. He couldn't just take out the nail and wait for the cash?!? He had my keys... I wasn't going anywhere. What's up with this inefficiency?!?! read more

Danny is the man! Honest. Reliable. Transparent. Any time I have an issue with my used Mazda 3, he's the first person I bring it to. He will diagnose the problem and do his best to fix the issue. I always get my oil changed here and have had other parts fixed as well. I took my car in for an oil change today, and I noticed he also helped to fill my tires and changed my windshield washer fluid. A few months ago, I had a frustrating issue with my Mazda where the engine would randomly not start. Danny was attentive and took his time to try and resolve the issue. He said that if the same issue happened again, to bring it back to him. I must've gone back to him 1-2 more times, but the issue ended up being something that I needed to take into the dealership. Through all this, Danny barely charged me anything...maybe like $40 total. Compare this to a dealership where they charge you $100-200 just to diagnose your car problem. As a woman, it's intimidating sometimes to go to the mechanic alone. Danny is trustworthy and will get the job done for a great price. Go and check out DC Auto Repair! read more

Danny is very reliable though a little expensive. But I'll go again as all other mechanics are crooks.

Always get my oil change here and now just the nail out of my tire here. Danny takes care of your car well nice guy and doesn't take long read more

Prior to coming to Danny's auto shop, I was at Wondries and had to wait in line to get service. When I asked for a quote, they charged me a ridiculous amount for an oil change and wheel rotation. My engine light was also on but they refused to check it since they were busy that morning and told me I would have to make an appointment for another day. On top of that, I would have to wait 4 hours to get my car back. I quickly canceled my service check and went to Danny's, which was recommended by a friend. There was no wait and he quickly serviced my car under an hour with a reasonable price :) The other auto shops next to him don't service Priuses so it's a plus that he is able to! Highly recommend this auto shop if you're looking to get your car maintained. Thanks Danny !! read more

Took my car in for oil and filter change. Shop wasn't crowded, and Danny attended to my car right away. Customer service was good. I feel like more attention was paid to my car than at other places I've been to for oil changes. Such as oil change gauge being re-set! read more

I went to RTM for couple mins and have parked my car for no longer than 5-10mins. They needed the car to be move and I went right away, and was apologized for parking there. When I was moving the guy who was working there ( also the guy who told me to move my car) is a very racist person. After I apologized he literally said " this isn't China parking". I was very offended by him, I apologized again and try to defend myself. However, "this isn't China parking" is the only reply I am getting after every sentence I say. I highly do not recommend this place. read more

The people here is a little shy, so you have to walk in to get their attention. But they are professional and the price is reasonable, and the service is quick. read more

Reliable service by an experienced technician. Honest and reasonable rates. Up-to-date machinery.

I went in to get my freon recharged because my car air conditioning was not running as cool as expected. But after they "fixed" my car they said there's more problems with my car that needs to be "fixed" and my air conditioning now runs hot which is worse than it was before. They made my car worse and wanted to make more $$$ off the "new problems" they "found" after they "fixed" my air conditioning issue. Uh, no thanks... Don't go here, find a trustworthy and better mechanic than this place. P.S. I went to another mechanic where my car was ACTUALLY FIXED and in less time than here. WOW. read more

Great service and very reasonable pricing. Danny was super friendly and knowledgeable

I had a problem with Shop owner, However, I understand he is honest guy. I recommend this shop for hybrid engine owners. read more

Reasonable price for the transmission oil change, I have a Sienna and the owner only charged $70 plus tax. Please note: transmission oil change is different from transmission flush, oil change only replaces 30-40% of the transmission oil, while transmission flush replaces 100%( and the price will be much higher). He also changed my carbon filter with good price. Recommend this small business to everyone. read more

I had No appointment, Danny helped me right away. Fixed my 2013 MB C250, good work, very honest man and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend. Will be back for all future repairs. read more

I love how this shop is super close to my house! One of the best mechanics, he was able to figure out what happened with my car. He took great care of it and my process with him was smooth. He's very knowledgable about a lot of cars! I was shocked because I assumed every car he took in were Hondas or Toyotas (I have a G37). The only thing I dislike is that this shop is cramped inside a plaza filled with many other mechanic shops. It's kind of difficult to maneuver around. I definitely recommend for all your car tune up needs! read more

Competition breeds quality in this auto area, and DC Auto is no exception. Initially brought in my old Hyundai to the very busy T&M which is good (no question) but takes awhile for anybody to see your car. So, I decided to walk over to DC and they saw my car immediately. This place is reasonably priced and honest. Definitely will start coming here for regular oil change and maintenance. read more

Excellent customer service. I service both my cars with DC. He's an honest mechanic that tells you exactly what is needed for your vehicles. He even came to rescue me when I was stranded at Albertsons. It was also on his birthday. What mechanic does that? I would recommend him to all my friends and family. read more

Reliable and reasonable price. We been coming to for 10+ years, still very good. They can fix Tesla tires too.

Great service. Kind people and gets the work done pretty quickly. I trust their diagnosis and getting me what I need.

This shop really takes care of my 2016 Chevy Colorado. This is my second oil change here and I'm satisfied. Danny checks out all points of my vehicle and fixed whatever I've got going on. He doesn't upcharge me or overcharge like generic places like Jiffylube. Anyway, he was referred to me by a good friend so that's how I find out about this place. He had also fixed a flat of mine for very good price. I'm glad a found DC Auto Repair for my oil change and car fix ups. Thanks for your service Danny read more

This has been by far the worst place I had ever took my truck to please people trust me when I say I DO NOT recommend this place at all here's what happened to me i took my truck because my motor felt like it was misfiring so I get to the place and right away he said to I charge 80$ do diagnose the problem after he diagnose it he said this is what we have to do he changed my spark plug my coil that was perfectly fine "new" and also changed my fuel injector once he replaced the parts he starts it up and again the motor sounding and running the same he did not diagnose my truck correctly he was guessing to see what can fix the problem I understand you can't know exactly what code to start from but this guy was going one by one at the end I was going to end up paying over 2000$ I personally feel like he could of took the time and run more test to really know what the problem was that is why he is charging his fee he ended up charging me 360$ and I had to pay to receive my keys he had me waiting over five hours for no reason he lied to me and said he ordered a part and they came wrong. I personally think this guy did not diagnose my truck properly and does not know how to fix it so away he sent me with my truck still running really bad. I drove it like that home and the truck actually died out on me. He left it worse than when I first took it I called him back right away and told him and right away he said I'll give you back 80$ and he still end up with280$ and my truck not running.people if this gentleman continues to do the stuff to people like us he's basically a scammer there's this program called BAR bureau of automotive repair these people can look into what does scams he's doing like not fixing the problem I do not recommend this place at all. . read more

Danny is an honest mechanic and isn't trying to rip you off. My other mechanic told me I needed to get my back brakes replaced but I decided to not do it at the time. I then came to Danny's and he told me everything was actually fine but continued to check the car anyways. Great guy. read more

I have been going to Danny for years for everything car related (oil change, brake check, install new windshield wipers, install new lights, AC). He is extremely to the point and honest. He won't try to sell you services unless you actually need it, which I find other shops tend to do. Friendly guy as well so that's always a plus read more
