Oil change is quick and good priced! The staff is friendly and explained everything in detail!

The mechanics you can trust. This place is exceptional due to its consistent service over the past three years. Unlike many others today, they have never disappointed me. Their secret ingredient is traditional, honest, and outstanding customer service. They are highly recommended in my book. read more

This is a solid mechanic shop, I would recommend to go super early because it does get busy fast. The prices are also affordable. Solid shop read more

Was looking for a close-by oil change and found this hidden jewel. The service was superb with only 10 minutes and the low price of $65 for synthetic for my Clarity which wi have been paying $ 75 elsewhere. Definitely I will come back for my future oil changes. read more

I've been going here for a long time which was my husband's suggestion and I'm glad I listened because changing oil for them is 10 mins with walk-in. Friendly workers as well. Will keep coming back! read more

I live in the neighborhood I go here for oil changes. They are fast I haven't compared pricing but it's probably average. I haven't had any other services done but I would recommend here. read more

Love these guys. Took my Tacoma in after my friend royally effed things up changing the oil. But Nick and Jose took care of us like we were family. THANK YOU!!! read more

Their service was great and value for money. Staff are great. I had there for oil change it take about 10-12 minutes

This place is great! It is easy to get an oil chance, fast, and the price is great. The customer service is great.

Quick, affordable, reliable and no frills. That's quite a compliment for an auto mechanic. And I guess that's why I keep coming back for an oil change. read more

Great experience. Quick, friendly service. Clear and fair pricing for oil changes and no upselling. There's a smog business at the adjacent address so it's convenient to do both if it's time for your smog check. read more

This place is just good enough for an oil change, if you need mechanical work this is not the place. The mecanic is not knowledgeable enough for auto repairs. read more

Beware! Scammers! I took my car to add a backup camera. The guy said it would be $200+tax including labor. 1 hour later he calls, says he wasn't able to get it to work, and it's $65 for "basic labor" something I did not agree to. So, now he's holding my car hostage, he was uncapable of doing the most basic work, and I had to pay $65 to retrieve my car. When I got the car, I looked around and could easily tell they didn't even remove the stereo panel, let alone the unit itself. So basically they just charged me $65 for 1 hour of parking at their lot. Scammers! read more

Best oil change experience ever. I was in and out within 10 mins. They have a sign posted with their prices so you know what you're paying for. To top it off they're incredibly nice, professional, and it feels as though they genuinely care about your business. Highly recommend. read more

These guys are terrific, fast, skilled, and are priced fair. I recommend them.

Very short, rude, & unprofessional. No thanks! Oh, and FYI: the transmission I had rebuilt here lost its neutral safety switch within a year... so, I'll happily take my money elsewhere. read more

I'be been getting my oil changes from this place since 2008. I'm on my second car and have moved away, but I still make the drive back to Ktown to get my oil changed because they are quick and reliable. My husband had some car trouble and worked with them previously, the owners are nice, genuine people who will tell you what you really need fixed and seem to offer fair prices. See you in a few months for the oil change! read more

ok so this is the most con auto repair shop we have experienced. make sure you have a 2nd opinion on a trusworthy reapir shop as they will removed some connection to make you pay more like my bmw it was only asking for camshaft sensor endup they said it will need to replace fuel pump lines etc quoted $4k to repair we looked for second opinion and we only pay to replace camshaft sensor for lessthan $500 and mechanic said lot of connection was disconnected. and oil is allover the place. read more

great job. fyi 4cyl- $28 (reg oil) / 55 (synthetic oil) 6 cyl-$33. / $65 (synthetic ) read more

Mr Ben was Friendly and very nice very professional very simple and quick the price was perfect loved it!!

Excel Lube extends good service to customers. It deserves my comeback patronage bc of genuine work done. Today, it is excellent again.

I initially got a quote over the phone from Hans Beverly Auto Repair but when I got there, they changed the price and tried to get me to fix a few other things. So I left that place and yelped for other auto repair shops in the area. I found Excel Auto Repair Shop, which was nearby. The business had 5 stars but only 5 reviews so I was a little skeptical. I decided to give this place a try anyways. When I got to the shop, the owner greeted me and seemed like a very nice person. I might go as far as to say that he seemed trustworthy. The type of person who won't try to make every last dollar off his customers by telling them to fix stuff they didn't need to. Guess what? From my experience, he was that person. He didn't try to force me to fix things I didn't need or didn't ask for. I got my hub bearing replaced on the front passenger wheel at a good price (the one Han's quoted me for on the phone but didn't follow through on) and he told me I didn't need to replace the hub. A shady mechanic would probably call you back and tell you that the hub needed to be replaced even if it didn't because it's hard for people to tell if it was bad. I am rating this place 5 stars based on customer service, workmanship, price and timeliness. Excellent. Will be back when I need more repairs and will definitely recommend to my friends and family. read more

Came by for an oil change. They do a quick check for other problems and will ask if you want to fix them or not. I was out of there in 10 min. Prices are very reasonable and there is no BS from the employees here. Straight forward and honest. read more

My family has been going here since I can remember, and I continue to bring my car here as well. I will drive all the way from Santa Monica to Koreatown just for them because they do such a wonderful job and know that I am good hands. If you need any kind of car service, I highly recommend you use these guys. read more

Couldn't understand Pontiac Vibe on the phone & quoted $150 for front or and $150 for rear estimate only! Really crazy! Can't believe it's the same owners as previous reviews. read more

When my transmission was shot, this was the only place that didn't want to replace the whole transmission or give me some gibberish about replacing this & that w/new transmission parts (when added together equaled the cost of a new transmission). He got me back on the road again & the car's been running fine since... The owner is a caring guy who (surprisingly) want you to spend $ on any additional unnecessary services. TIP: However, if you do want to have small additional things done (tire pressure / brake (visual) etc. you need to ask. Don't expect a place to sit down and read magazines in a office setting. But if you use Google Maps search, you'll get an accurate feel for this place (lots of pics) as well as the prices posted on the wall! If Oil Change is all you want, then you'll find a well staff place more than eager to get you in & out very fast. Just like their sign says.. "10 Min. Oil Change" read more

Quick, easy, and fairly priced. Owners and employees are nice and accommodating. They even cleaned my dirty windshields for me LOL.

I live next door to this shop. These people are the best. Highly recommend this place. Friendly and quickly services. Oil change in 10 minutes. read more

Great customer service and will help out as much as possible. The owner is nice and the price is fair. You should call first maybe he can give you a better price. His just a really nice guy read more

Super cheap, super fast. Didn't even realize they changed the oil, they actually have some sort of lower level they walk down to so they don't have to lift the car. Had my own cabin filter so it was free, even the labor cost. Wish I said no to the air filter change but since the motor and transmission oil were much cheaper than the dealership, I'm thinking of it more akin to a tip. Support this business. read more

Been coming here for a while, very honest and friendly people hard to find a good place. Thank you guys. read more

It was the first place I went to when I moved to LA. I haven't need to go to another because of how Honest, Friendly and fast they are. PLUS they have great prices. Its in and out, with good and sturdy work done. read more

I used to have a long time mechanic to take care of my car more than 20 years; but he moved away from my neighborhood; and I sort of got lost where to go, when my 8-year old car registration required to have a smog test; I googled it and find this shop (5-stars on google review) just a block away from where I live!! So, drove in this Monday morning, found this shop is already very busy; but I got very attentive reception and I explained what I need to have some maintenance oil, filter change and so on in addition to smog test; and I got very fair estimate and I was very happy to have this shop take care of my car from now on for long time!! read more

The guys here took me in really quick and had me in and out in about 30 minutes. They were very honest to me with what I did and didn't need. I ended up spending less money than what I expected. I for sure will be coming back for any routine maintenance. read more

Mr. Lee is a waste of time. Had called early morning to have my car checked out by him, I get to the location not more than an hour just for him to flake on me and his worker was very rude. I gave him a call regard of him making me waste my time and answered with a " what you want me to do" NEVER stepping foot on to this location jerks. FYI MY CAR WAS NOT sustainable to be driven out too much. read more

Seriously these guys are the best. First off, their oil change pricing is really reasonable. They quick and efficient. As if that isn't enough, they often will see something like a wiper blade that could use a little love and just replace it. I went in yesterday for an oil change and they mentioned that I will probably need a new oil pan the next time around but when I woke up the pan was leaking. Took it in and they helped me fix the leak and put all new oil in and charge me a sent. Great customer service. Always a great experience. Awesome garage. read more

They gave me really fast service without an appointment and did my 65000 mile checkup completely. Definitely I'll be back for the next service read more

It is easy to understand why this place only has only 5 star reviews. Oil changes are quick and cheap. They even let you bring your own oil and filter, and sometimes parts. The employees and main management are really decent to talk to and work with, or so i thought. My wife bought a car in 2006, and we have been taking the car to this mechanic for all its needs. These guys were the doctor for this car for 10 years. We put everything in there hands. Smog, brakes, oil changes, minor electrical you name it. Last year in August 2015 we had a check engine light pop up and it was determined to be an EGR code, which is basically an airflow problem. They fixed no problem $350 bucks. Two weeks later the check engine light came back, they said that they may have fixed the wrong thing and that the new fix would be another $300 but they'd only charge $100. Awesome no love lost no faith dwindled. They fixed it. Happened to be EGR solenoid needing replacing. Fast forward a year, check engine light came on. As usual we took it to our mechanic, and it showing an EGR and Cat code. Said it would be $400 to fix the solenoid. They wanted to replace the whole catalytic converter, which even someone who knows nothing about cars should know is not cheap and the EGR solenoid. I had forgotten about the fix a year ago but it was itching in my brain as not right. They cleared the code and we took it back after the light popped up again. This time the smog guy checked it and said the CAT code was gone but the EGR remained. Finally I found the receipt from the previous years fix, and we showed it to the manager. He was shocked to see the receipt, and then refused to work on the car. Claimed we complained too much. Right, because everyone should pay to fix the same thing for $400 twice in a year, on a Toyota. 10 years of of patronage out the window, didn't matter. We took it to another mechanic who literally pointed out every single thing wrong with it. All of these things went overlooked at this place. These guys turned out to be thieves. Straight crooks, playing on our mechanical ignorance. Go ahead get your oil changed, but don't let them play you. Don't get serious mechanical work done here. Don't get played on that air filter scam either. Smog guy is cool though. read more

If i could give this place negative stars i would. I brought my truck in to get new break pads (my regular mechanic was out of town). Feeling comfortable i left my number and went home, since i live near by. As soon as i got home the worker started calling telling me there were so many things wrong with my car and that he could fix these things out of the shop for a lower price. I said no to just finish the job. He continued calling with new issues. I found this strange because my car has been with the same mechanic for many years and has never told me any of these things were wrong with it... so i finally get the call and go pick up my truck. Its running fine. Breaks are working. Im pleased. A bit annoyed by the mechanics calls & messages but thought nothing of it. The next morning i go to turn on my car and I HAVE NO BREAKS! Im pushing on my break pedal and its hitting the floor. I call and call my regular mechanic who after a while shows up and tell me there is a peice that the guy broke on my breaks. So now i have to pay about 400 to get it fixed. I called to talk to the manager and the person on the phone just acted crazy like i had never been there. I have the receipt and everything. i feel that the mechanic tried to make a fool out of me to. Get more money. My mechanic checked the rest of my truck and said none of the issues he brought up were real. My truck was fine besides what was broke. I would avoid this place at any cost!!! read more
