Kevin had everything ready when I arrived, and they started working on my car right away. They installed the aftermarket catalytic converters quickly for an affordable price, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. When my check engine light was still on afterward, Kevin took the time to help diagnose it and suggested it might be a blown fuse for the O2 sensors. I later had it checked by a nearby mechanic, and it turned out to be exactly the issue. Overall, it was a great experience. Kevin was knowledgeable, honest, and easy to work with. I really appreciated that he took the time to point me in the right direction instead of just sending me on my way.

After a thorough inspection, they identified a leak upstream of the catalytic converter and another downstream before the muffler. The muffler itself was completely compromised by rust and required replacement. I was quoted a very reasonable price for what was essentially a replacement of half the exhaust system, including new seals and gaskets. The work was completed in just a few hours, and the car is running significantly better. This shop is top-notch and clearly takes pride in their craftsmanship. I'll definitely be back--thanks guys!

I have an X3, he made certain to take it out of the danger zone and into safety. The JMC BMW Crew worked their magic and I am very appreciative and grateful of their stellar service! Manny is down to earth, caring, and super funny! I like that he values correspondence and takes the time to prioritize what is emergent versus urgent versus 'can be done later down the line' if you are strapped financially. I did not feel pressured, I felt he could feel my anxiety related with the troubles of my car and took the time to walk me through the safety issues of my car. He patiently listened to my description of issues, swiftly identified the major problems, then calculated the likely costs. It was pleasant to speak with Manny. Upon retrieving my car after all of the requested work was finished, may I also add that it was completed lightning fast, he popped the hood open to reveal a sight that would make any mechanic squeal with delight... it looked amazing! My car is now safe and runs smoothly like a dream. I had the following accomplished on my car: - oil + filter changed - oil valve cover replaced - radiator replaced - valvetronic actuator replaced - brake pads/sensors replaced - brake fluid flushed - windshield pump replaced I thank you, Manny and your quality crew!

Herbert was a big help for me with getting my 2016 Honda accord touring fixed. I had taken it to…read moremultiple mechanics AND the dealer, and no one could tell me exactly what my issue was and just be straight with me. I had an emissions system issue that gave me the code 'P0139'. The first mechanic I took it to last year told me that it was a simple o2 sensor issue (rightfully so considering the code I was getting), yet when he replaced the sensor, the light continually came on. So he replaced it again, and replaced another o2 sensor on the vehicle (according to him). When none of that worked, he told me that my catalytic converter was faulty, and that I was going to have to pay roughly 8k for a new one. Safe to say I didn't believe him, nor did I stick around and simply take his word for it. I started making calls and, at first, genuinely believed that I was going to have to come up with the 8k by summer 2026 (when my smog inspection was due). I thought at one point I was sold a faulty vehicle too and even tried to receive compensation for the error. Turns out that wasn't the case, and even if it was, there wasn't much I could about it anymore. I took it to others who quoted me ridiculous prices for a simple diagnostic, I took it to others that just simply couldn't tell me what was wrong, and then to make things more confusing, the light would go on and off and would even go off long enough for me to pass smog!!! (Even though the first guy I went to said my catalytic converter was bad). Then, I looked online and found Master Tech. Great reviews, great location in the South Bay (Torrance), and fair pricing. Diagnostic was about 160, which would go toward repairs if needed, and if they couldn't find the issue I'd pay zero dollars! When I first got there, already Herbert pointed out things no mechanic pointed out before. I was told and under the impression that all my sensors were new and changed... they weren't. He also informed me that my vehicle was an American built one (not Japanese or Canadian, which I heard can make all the difference in quality). That's information that, although wasn't a huge concern, let me know that this guy paid attention to detail and really cared about what he was doing. He then told me to leave it with him later on in the week so he could give the vehicle TLC (tender love and care), and to be comfortable with not having my vehicle for a couple days (wasn't a problem at all). Eventually he gets back to me after a day and lets me know that the sensor had to be changed out with an oem one, as the previous mechanic put in an aftermarket one. On the day that I picked the car up and paid for the install, we both hopped in and took it for a ride, and the engine was running smooth like butter now. No more rich running (causing my gas to burn faster), and no more harsh shifting. He then hands me over the old sensor and informs me that I should go get my money back from the other mechanic. It turns out, the other guy was trying to screw me over (surprise, surprise!), whereas Herbert was honest and righteous. The piece the other mechanic put in was a Bosch sensor, made specifically for German made vehicles. Smh. It was for VOLKSWAGENS and the like ONLY. He was just trying to get me to pay him thousands, and perhaps allow me to further damage my engine and transmission from the issues he was forcing my vehicle to go thru for the time that it wasn't working properly due to a lazy, incompatible o2 sensor. I was relieved that I found Herbert who was able to help me and install the correct piece for a fair price (443 roughly, as opposed to the almost 700 dollars the dealer would've tried to charge me). I like his style, and he is definitely a righteous mechanic. Thank you bro!

Beware: Dishonest Pricing and Unreliable Service…read more I came to TYC to get both my front axles replaced. I asked for a quote and was told $390 for labor (for both axles), plus the cost of parts. I also informed the owner that a dealership had diagnosed bad subframe bushings and recommended replacing the entire suspension subframe. He told me that wasn't necessary and said he would call me later with the price for the parts. Later that day, I looked up the parts myself--Duralast Gold axles from AutoZone with a lifetime warranty, $179 each. So the total cost I expected: $179 x 2 + $390 labor = $748 Then the owner called me and said the aftermarket (non-OEM) parts would be $289 each, bringing the total to a whopping $968. Keep in mind: this is still for aftermarket parts, not OEM. I told him I'd bring my own parts instead. He AGREED to install them for $390 in labor. I dropped my car off and left it overnight. The next day, he called me claiming the passenger side axle was the wrong part. He told me if I brought the correct part, he'd install it for free. I still paid the full $390 for just the one axle replacement. Here's the kicker: I took the "wrong" part back to AutoZone. They double-checked the part number, make, model, and confirmed it was the correct part ‍. I'm not some clueless car owner--I'm an X-ray engineer. I research for a living. A couple days later, I returned to TYC with the same "correct" part. This time, the mechanic refused to install it, saying the bearing was the wrong size and insisted I had to buy an axle from the dealer. Why should I pay for dealer parts at an independent shop? If I wanted to throw money away, I would've gone to the dealership in the first place. The whole point of going to a non-dealer shop is to save money. I returned the axle to AutoZone and got a refund. By this point, I'd wasted a ton of time, gas, and energy--and I never got the second axle replaced. In short: * Dishonest and inconsistent pricing * Poor communication * Refused to honor their word * Wasted my time and money I won't be returning, and I strongly recommend you take your business elsewhere
