Yesterday I went to get an oil change at a different service center. After, there was a loud scraping sound coming from under my car. Today, I went to Ed Little Auto Service to get it checked out. Immediately Bob came out to help, pulled my car up, assessed the issue, and fixed it. Bob was so kind and understanding and truly cared about his work. He didn't try to sell me anything or make me spend unnecessary money like many other service centers. I had such an amazing experience that I literally pulled over right down the street just to write this review! read more

What an awesome business. I've had a nagging check engine light that I finally decided to get repaired. I called in and requested a time to go in and the man who answered said swing by and they'll diagnose to see if it's something they can fix and they'll give a time frame. So, I swing by, tell him what's going on, and he takes a quick look at a part of my car and said "well, more likely than not, it's this, so why not just replace it with this, drive around and if you're still having problems, come back". Did what they suggested and the car is running great! I'm still going to swing by for an oil change shortly, and an all around multipoint inspection of everything but overall very stoked at the honesty and professionalism here. Totally recommend! read more

Old school honesty. Super hard to find nowadays but this is the shop that has it. Other places tried to charge me thousands for services they said I needed, Ed Little laughed after checking out my Prius and said I didn't need 9 of the 10 things. Just got a battery replaced today, took 15 minutes, came with a 5 year warranty and a competitive price. These guys are great. read more

They are unbelievable. Again, they've helped me out and today was an emergency. I had no appointment but took a chance. They were so busy by the looks of all the vehicles already there. Dennis said he just could not promise to fit me in even to look at the car and i might have to leave it. He was swamped. I took a chance and sure enough later in the day he checked and fixed the problem......... I couldn't believe it. He was so kind and saved the day. You can't get better service than these mechanics. Totally honest and definitely can't be beat - anywhere. Thank you Dennis. You have no idea how much you did for me today. read more

I went there to try to figure out why my car was making a weird noise when backing up and they looked at it right away, figured out what the issue was and fixed it then and there! They also told me other stuff that I should probably address like getting new tires. I'm always a little worried when I go to a mechanic because I know nothing about cars and I feel like I have a target on my head. But the mechanics here were really great in explaining everything. Thank you! read more

A great local shop--honest, reliable, and easy to work with. The team gives clear explanations, treats customers with respect, and delivers solid work every time. read more

The most speedy service I've ever gotten for a 12v battery replacement for my prius C. Their pricing was very fair compared to what AAA was going to charge me while I was stranded and getting a jumpstart from them. They were also very friendly and answered my call right away. Will definitely seek their services again! read more

Simply a professional, honest, and trustworthy mechanic I could ever find. They just tell you only what your car really needs. If they suggest something, trust them and do it. Thank you for your work! read more

This place has earned a new customer for life. Trustworthy, personable, no crazy frills or fancy waiting room but I don't need that when I hire a mechanic. Will be back for many years to come. read more

I was devoted to my previous mechanic. I was a total stan. However post pandemic I noticed I was not getting the caliber of service from that other mechanic that I used to. I have an older car but it's still in very good condition and I want to keep it that way. I am SO GLAD my friend recommended Ed Little. First of all at my old mechanic you had to get there super early to try and be one of the first few people in line to even get the car looked at that day. Imagine my very happy surprise when I made an appointment at Ed Little, arrived when they opened as suggested, and my car was taken immediately. About three hours later they were called to let me know what was going on. They were very honest about what needed to be done now, what can be done later, what I might wanna do down the road but it's not affecting reliability or safety, etc. And about an hour after that phone call the car was ready to pick up. They did a thorough once over of the car and they gave me a fantastic price for the work performed. I could totally feel the difference on my drive home. Happy to have found a new mechanic. read more

Ed Little Auto Service - Outside Ed Little - Auto Repair Near Me - Culver City, California

I've been coming to this auto shop for many years. The 5 star average doesn't do this place justice. Truly some of the most honest mechanics you'll find in West LA. My daughter just started driving and I told her that if she ever needs someone look under the hood, look no further than Ed Little. Your car is in GREAT hands here. read more

The only shop we trust in the state of California. The last of the honest mechanics. Highly recommend.

What can be said that hasn't already been said for this fantastic business?!!! Dennis and his coworker repaired the issue underneath my car and it's running quietly now!!! This was my first visit and I will definitely return!!!! Thank you to everyone at Ed Little Auto Service!!! read more

Saw several recommendations from neighbors about this place, and the reviews were spot on. They took my car in for a review of suggested services that the dealership had recommended: (a) replace spark plugs, (b) rear differential fluid, (c) 65K routine maintenance, (d) brake pad replacement. Dennis was very upfront and honest, and after inspection said all I needed was the routine maintenance and everything else was not yet due (as well as gave me the specs for when I should take care of everything). Saved me tons of money and gave me peace of mind. Overall cost was reasonable and under the estimates I received from other places. Very happy and will use again. read more

Amazing customers service! Very fair and upfront pricing and they get all of the work done very quickly. I've jumped around to multiple mechanics and this is the best I've had on the westside of LA. read more

So impressed with this place. Honest, fair, quick and friendly. Winning combination!!

Had a dead battery and just bought it Jan 2025 from Ed Little. Got jumped by AAA so was able to drive it over to the shop. Within 15 minutes I was on my way out the door. Dennis took super good care of me and delivered with honesty and such consideration. I've been going to them for 10 yrs or so and they've always rated high for me for their integrity, but today just proved it all again! They stand by their word for the customer. Thank you, Dennis, for getting me in so quickly! He honored the warranty, of course, but he made it work for me seamlessly. read more

Took my 2010 Prius to get back breaks the quote was good and service was better! I took the car at 7am and by 10 the car was checked out and ready to go. I would recommend this auto shop they are trustworthy and dependable read more

Very eager to help on short notice with a challenging problem for our old Honda. Very good price - did not gouge. Good communication throughout the whole experience. Everyone in our neighborhood praises their reputation! read more

I would give this place 6 stars if I could! They are so honest and reasonably priced. I never feel like I'm being sold things I don't need and their services are pretty quick too. read more

To give you some back story, I had taken my new car to the dealer to get checked out. Then, a week later, I had an issue with my car that required me to take it in.. and I took it to Pep Boys. They then tried to tell me there was something else wrong with my car and they could help me with it for $1400.00 So I got a second opinion.. Bob not only took the time to hear my story.. but did a couple of tests on my car and concluded that I did not need to buy the new parts that were being pushed on me at Pep Boys. Not only were they very kind, they didn't even charge me for the second opinion! I was dumbfounded.. and now I will happily be a new customer.. High recommendation.. enjoy! read more

I was looking for a mechanic for some time already because it is very hard to find an honest one let alone close to my area. After seeing and reading all the wonderful reviews I decided to call and spoke to Bob. I scheduled my 60,000 mile checkup that I never did and no I had already reached 70,000 miles. Anyway, I made an appointment to take it in and wow I am very, very happy with his very honest opinion and how he didn't even try to tell me my car needed things it didn't like most other mechanics would. I have always appreciated and respected a person for their true honesty and Bob at Ed Little did just that. I trust him and his business and would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for an honest mechanic. read more

I was told about this mechanic shop from some moms in my Culver City neighborhood. They raved about how amazing this shop was , and I can say it's true !! very friendly staff very affordable. And Honest they do not try to pressure you to get service for something that you do not need. I highly recommend!! read more

Always honest and reliable. They fixed some odd noise my car was making. It was a rock stuck between the wheel and brake. Call first as they don't service all cars or issues as it's a small shop. read more

Check engine light was on for my 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Brought it to Ed Little Auto after all the positive reviews, and I can confirm they were awesome. Got my car in right away. Checked the car out and realized everythig was fine. They reset my Jeep, gave me some info on what to keep an eye out for, and then sent me on my way. No cost. No tryng to sell me anything. That level of care and honesty goes a long way, and when I do have service needs, they have done everythign to earn that business. Hope I don't need them, but with a 10 year old car I am sure I will...and they will be the place I go. 5 stars! read more

A friend recommended this place to me and I couldn't recommend them enough. An honest business, very quick (I had my brakes serviced) and fair pricing! read more

We've trusted Ed Little Auto with our Toyota vehicles for about 5 years now. Bob, Dennis, and the crew do great work at a fair price - no gimmicks, no upsell, just straightforward HONEST service. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you for your integrity, Bob and team! read more

Honest, trustworthy, & reliable excellent service for my Lexus; year after year. After my warranty expired, the Lexus dealership service was outrageous, and I remembered Ed Little being a great place to get my car fixed. As a retired Culver City school teacher, what better place to come! Thanks, Ed Little, for great service & fair prices! read more

Daughter is home from college. We needed her car checked out and oil change. I knew Ed Little is the place to trust. Car checked out fine. Price for oil change less than drive thru places. Always nice to have a honest reputable business in Culver City. read more

I've been going to Ed Little Automotive for over 10 years. Bob and Dennis and the crew are the most honest, competent mechanics in Los Angeles. read more

You'll not find a more honest, trustworthy and competent auto repair that Ed Little. That;s it...That says it all!

The problem I was having could have cost me a bundle but Ed's team figured out what to do in record time, and charged me a very reasonable price. He is honest, and that's so rare these days. A true gem. read more

Honestly the best!! He helped me bolt on the battery in my car after a AAA guy came and didn't even fix it properly at the start. Coming here again without doubt and service is amazing!! read more

I always felt uneasy and cheated whenever I brought my car to the dealership until my neighbor recommended Ed Little Autoservice. Bob and Dennis have always been kind and helpful to keep my Ford Focus running for 23 years. It felt more like having friends helping you out than going to a business that just tries to get your money. Now that I finally got a new car and I haven't seen them in a year, I am looking forward to stop by for an oil change and say HI! Bob and Dennis would have deserved more than five stars :-)!! read more

I went to see Dennis after the Dealership gave me a list of things that my 2011 Toyota Camry needed. It really does pay to get a second opinion. Turns out that I didn't need anything the dealership had suggested I do. I wish I had found this place years ago. They are so honest and friendly. Highly recommend! Thank you. read more

Best mechanic service I've received in LA. They were very responsive, kind, ethical, and helpful. I 100% recommend! I went to get my sunroof unclogged s as it was leaking inside my car. Dennis cleaned everything out and checked that it was working well before I left as well. read more

Reliable and honest service, my go-to shop for auto repair and maintenance. I would recommend them to anyone.

I had a great experience with Ed Little. I came here after another place said to leave my car and they'd get to it at the end of the day or the next day. I went to Ed Little instead and Dennis helped me right away. He was knowledgeable and explained what he suspected my engine issue was. He called an hour later and recommended the services we discussed and gave me a reasonable quote. I felt like he was honest and wasn't pushing any unnecessary work. He changed my spark plugs, ignition coil, and brake pads super quickly. I had my car back within 3 hours of dropping it off! I highly recommend coming here for your car needs. read more

Really good service here fix my brake light, check the fuses, found out my fuse was in the wrong place and change it, Dennis and his crew was really helpful great professionals read more

I would rate Ed Little 10 stars if I could! Most auto shops overcharge you, but that is not the case at Ed Little's. These guys are honest and deliver just what they promise. Bob was so friendly and provided the best service. Trust the reviews and bring your car here if you are ever in need of auto repair. read more
