    Late review, but finally getting around to it. I had Docs Garage do an electrical overhaul on my 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS in Nov of 2021. I had them fix my rear tail lights, install a complete radio system, fix my interior courtesy lights, glove box light, replace my vacuum controlled broken hideaway headlight system with an electrically powered one, and fix my blinking headlights that wouldn't always stay on with the car. All of that was done to the tune of $4,190. I knew that this was a lot of work and a high price to pay. But I had given them a complete call sheet of the repairs necessary and set my appointment a few weeks out to complete. So why the 2 stars? My biggest concern with the car at the time was nighttime driving. Not having my headlights working properly was gambling with the safety of doing that. When I picked up the car I was pretty much right away given a disclaimer that "the headlights weren't working a 100% and might need to be totally re-wired..." Which I found a pretty odd thing to say to a customer after I'm supposed to be picking it up fixed. That was a priority to repair and they had to already completely remove the headlights to install the electrically operated hide-away headlight system. Not only that, but they forgot to repair a broken hinge in the headlight system that I had given them a new replacement part for. This would have taken 1/4 of the time to do with the headlight assembly already removed from the car. Pretty much within a week off the lot I started to notice my headlights blinking again at random worse than when I dropped the car off. I lived with the car like this for almost a year before I finally found a local auto electrician to fix them for $500. They informed me that both headlights were improperly grounded and they put in my replacement hinge Doc's forgot. Seeing how I paid at Doc's $500 for troubleshoot and diagnostic, $1000 for the hideaway headlight swap, and an other $500 for "repairing of faulty headlight connections and grounds" , only now I know I way overpaid for service that was done incorrectly. They did a great job with the radio, all the other electrical repairs, and the car was delivered back to me cleaner and detailed more than any other mechanic has ever returned the car. I just wish they had spent less time detailing the car and more time on the headlights. For paying $2K alone to work with the headlights, they should have been correctly wired.

    Hot Rodders tend to be good mechanics, and car geeks. These guys are both, and although the shop might be difficult to find, and you'll drive down a narrow alley bounded on one side by an array of various hot rods and restorations in progress, I can assure you it's worth your time. In my case, I can't afford a hot rod. I can't afford a restoration, but I do need somebody that I can rely upon to work on my old truck and make it right. Jason and his crew of wild-eyed fanatics have done excellent work on my "beat up old truck", which is purring like a kitten and just turned 300,000 miles. So, take it from me: whether you've got a project to resto-mod something into a 500 horsepower show car, or 165 horsepower working heirloom, this is a garage you should check out. I'll certainly be back.

    Doc's Garage is the absolute best. I inherited a 67 Mustang that hadn't run in 18 years and I didn't know where to begin. I called around, and Doc's was the most helpful and responsive place I spoke with. So I brought her in! Jason is extremely detailed and great at communicating what is happening at every step of the repair/restoration process. My car is running beautifully and I couldn't be happier with the work and care he put into the car.

    After

    Doc's Garage promised and delivered. After 30 years I have finally been able to restore my 1970 Camaro. No easy task I might add. After many weekends of driving to different restorations shops around the San Fernando Valley to find someone to do the work. It was clear that Jason and Doc's garage were the right people to do the job. Jason was knowledgeable, professional and just right out an awesome guy. I had Jason upgrade all the electrical and replace the entire dashboard to start off my restoration and the work came out great. I couldn't be happier and would strongly recommend Jason for any classic car restoration needs!

    Doc's garage worked on an electrical problem on my 1966 Chevy C10. He was able to find the short that was draining my battery and also replaced by headlights. He was also able to trouble shoot my leaking air bags to be fixed on another occasion. Definitely recommend Docs.

So I called around to see who would be able to fix and quick. It wasn't a big scrape but it was definitely an eye sore to me. I came across Legacy Auto Body & Paint and reached out on Yelp. Armen responded back quick and let me know the price and when to bring the vehicle in. I arranged to be able to drop off my car and pick it up with my job so they let me work remote. Unfortunately, Armen had to push me back a day so that kind of threw things off. We managed to work it out and for the inconvenience, he took care of me. That's the type of service that goes a long way! I highly recommend Legacy Auto Body and hopefully you get to do business with Armen. Top notch service and lifetime warranty!

His work is amazing and very detailed. As we spoke in front of my car, he was demonstrating the process and the expectations.

Long story short, I had a front license plate mounted in the front bumper, had it wrapped, the company that wrapped my car covered the holes and sanded it down prior to wrapping, a year later had my car unwrapped and the result was a sanded down front bumper. Armen fixed it and now it looks better than ever!!

I had been shopping around trying to decide who I could trust to wrap my Tesla, but one phone call with Cooper was all it took. The guy knew EVERYTHING. When I came in, he welcomed me, sat down with me, walked me through the different colors, and showed me real-world examples of cars they had wrapped in the finishes I was considering. He even showed me vehicles they were currently working on so I could see firsthand the level of care and attention to detail this team puts into every car. I originally thought I would just choose between a matte or clear wrap. Instead, Cooper took the time to understand the entire look I wanted and helped me build my dream car: dark grey PurePPF, a smoked-out light bar, blacked-out side taillights, and tinted windows. He made thoughtful suggestions at every step without ever making me feel pressured. He also gave me complete confidence in the PurePPF brand and in the incredibly high standards Diamond Auto Salon holds itself to. Cooper is an absolute legend. He guided me through the entire process, kept me updated along the way, and truly knows how to treat customers right. This man deserves a raise! The professionalism, knowledge, craftsmanship, and personal attention from Cooper and the entire team were fantastic. If you care about your car and want to work with people who care just as much, this is the place. I couldn't be happier with the experience or the dream look they helped me create!
