Exclusive Motors - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Shady place. Dishonest people. I went for a breaks inspection since the car was producing a weird noise when stopping. The guy was telling me that they needed to be replaced completely including the rotors. Went for a second opinion and they found out that the noise was caused by a piece of metal debris stuck to the bottom of the car. Appalled by so much disonesty. read more

Best shop around here at Venice! George and his mechanic in the coolest and knowledgeable shops I've been, They'll explain every single detail. Best part is reasonable price they will even hook you up if just a really minor fix. They care about they're client, They're just the best! read more

Shady business. Total greedy people. Be careful, they will try to sneak in charges and rip you off. My car, after I met with an accident, was towed to this place against my preference coz it was 30 miles away. They were called by CHP and the tow truck driver said this is the only location that was open, and I was left with no choice .. the surprise came when I saw the invoice they sent. A whopping $2500 just for towing just 30 miles .. nowhere in LA I have heard this much charge .. and their storage fee is another insane $250/day ... never heard of such rates .. it doesn't stop there .. they added dolly fee, clean up fee, after hour access, handling fee etc which altogether bumped up another $1000 on top of towing and storage fee .. my insurance said the rates are higher than normal prevailing rates for the area and so they would only cover part of it .. I ended up paying $2500 from my pocket to these greedy people .. I am considering reporting them to BBB .. if you don't want to be ripped off, please do yourself a favor and take your car elsewhere. read more

I wish I could leave zero stars. About a month and a half ago my parked car was totaled in the middle of the night along with my neighbor's car that was parked behind me. The insurance company sent a tow truck for my neighbor and the driver randomly gave me a business card to this place. They asked if they could move my car forward to get to his and I said sure. He called another tow truck and after checking with my neighbor on where the insurance company wanted the vehicles to go I asked him to take mine to the same place that my neighbor's was going to. The new tow truck driver had me fill out my info and told me to meet me at the place we had agreed on. However, while he was telling me to go to the place we agreed on he filled out the address to this place instead on the paperwork. I went to the mechanic it was supposed to go to and got a text "I just dropped off your car". Great. When the mechanic realised it wasn't there he called him back and the guy that said he'd dropped it off told him- he wasn't a tow truck driver. After further calls, the mechanic told me that the guy had taken my car to this place- Exclusive Motors. And that my car wouldn't be released unless I paid them $1400. And this is where I first learned about Tow Truck Pirates or Tow Truck Bandits, as the cops call them. Pretty cool names, admittedly. When I called Exclusive Motors and asked how in the world my car ended up here he started yelling at me "YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL YOUR CAR ENDED UP HERE INSTEAD OF WHERE YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE IT! YOU ARE LUCKY IT'S HERE..." and on and on and on. I couldn't even speak because he was shouting over anything I was trying to say. I got home and my boyfriend tried calling and had the same experience. Basically, in a nutshell, the scam is that the tow truck driver takes your car to mechanics like this one and they all get kick-backs for it when they basically hold your car for ransom. And when my boyfriend went to talk to him the next day about it he told him "hey bro, we all get kickbacks for doing this and its your girlfriends fault for being in a not-so-good situation". I can't comment on the quality of actual work they do here, but as far as merit, accountability and trustworthiness I'm not interested in supporting a business that is run this way. read more

George and his team are great. I'm glad I found Exclusive Motors for several reasons. 1. My Jeep is usually serviced at a dealership in Cerritos or a shop in North Hollywood. If I need towed I'd have to pay for the extra mileage. Plus, for something quick, I'd have to make a whole day of it, and possibly leave my Jeep there, then Uber home. I took my Jeep to Exclusive Motors and had it back in two hours. 2. The price was half of what Pep Boys quoted me. Less than half because George gave me an additional discount. 3. They are honest. They keep their word and give good advice. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. read more

The best repair shop in LA! I have a 1978 Honda that kept leaking coolant inside and out and I went to 2 different mechanic shops and they either didn't want to find the root of the problem or did a half ass job that left the car leaking. George and his team found the problem right away and fixed with no issues after. Usually mechanic shops try to overcharge you especially if your a woman and don't know much about cars, but George is honest, trustworthy and upfront about everything! the job the these mechanics do is superb! Great pricing no BS. I would recommend this place to everyone it's a 15/10! read more

I've used them several times and have never been disappointed. All my business is theirs.

I can't believe I haven't already written this after years of amazing service at Exclusive Motors! These guys are the best. George is always straight forward and honest. He gets the best parts available and charges a reasonable price for the parts and labor. Their work is flawless and turnaround is incredibly fast. George has gone above and beyond for my family and we will continue to give him our business every time we need something for any of our cars. read more

I wouldn't take my European cars to anyone but George. He's thorough, smart, and doesn't waist your time or bs you. Incredibly knowledgeable and they do impeccable work. Thanks again, George & Exclusive Motors! My BMW will be seeing again for sure! read more

Nice service. The owner/manager here was very patient and polite. Highly reccommended!

I have been doing business with George for many years and he is the BEST! Very qualified and honest and all of his work is fairly priced. And he's a great person too! Yesterday, my convertible top would not latch so I brought the car in to George. Within 30 minutes, he had diagnosed and fixed the problem and had me on my way. If you're looking for a great mechanic who really knows his stuff but doesn't gouge you, this is the place for you. No kidding!! Bill F read more

I had been hearing a a gradual increase in a rattling noise emanating from the bottom of my front brakes all the way to my steering wheel. As the weeks went the noise got louder. I was repeatedly told it was all in my head from my BF and others so I went to a trusted and EXCELLENT automotive technician who was kind enough to give me a second opinion since my first visit to a new referral took me around the block, had his mechanic simply open the hood and state it was my motor and tranny mounting assembly. WITHOUT even lifting it. My friend also took it around the block gave me his diagnostic opinion after his test drive: WHEELBEARINGS!! He is contractually restricted to only a certain foreign automaker contract of exclusivity so I gad to search for another honest mechanic who could replace him. I thought about my predicament: I live up a canyon. Not good. Another friend recommended me to George and his shop. He had his mechanic lift it and confirm the problem. Sure enough it was a left wheel bearing and NOT a costly mounting replacement. George and his long haired mechanic were very transparent and accommodating to my busy schedule and gave me a GREAT DEAL but what really makes me smile is How the car is RUNNING! A team of men who can respect my limited but valuable knowledge of cars and my concerns is important to me, a woman in a make dominated field. read more

The best auto-shop in town. The owner, George, has incredible customer service and generously shares his vast understanding of the auto industry. He is always at his shop and greets everyone with a warm welcome and genuine concern about what they are dealing with. He focuses on the solutions and the fastest way to find them, at the best price. His mechanics are knowledgeable, experienced, and fast to repair any issues at hand. They seemingly have the capacity to work on about 10 or so cars at once so the jobs are done faster than usual. I highly recommend this shop to all of my friends and family. They have completed each of my car issues thoroughly and with expertise. I wish that everyone has a fun bunch of car "know-it-alls" like this! read more

My car was held up for 2 1/2 months, parts were not reinstalled properly, or the parts were missing when my car was returned. Took it back a few times, got tired of the excuses. Had repairs fixed and finished at another shop. Totally untrustworthy read more

It seems odd to me that the reviews of this place all have 5 stars. I've been here when it was the old owner, and with George. This place isn't reliable at all. I've been back to pick up my car only to realize they haven't fixed the problem. Or the paint doesn't match. Or they accidentally broke my door. Or they caused a new problem. It's been about a year since George broke the side panel on my car door during a repair and has yet to find a replacement for it. It just wasn't a priority for him, and now I've left LA. If you believe the other reviews, be sure to do a thorough inspection when you pick up your car. The mechanics are sloppy, and George doesn't check their work. If he has you come at night, take the car somewhere with light and check the paint first. Mine was so obviously mismatched, and this business was eager to try and still charge me. Don't pay for shoddy work. Check everything, and take your time. I recommend going to Rusnak if you have a Jag. Not here. read more

Just got my car back from Exclusive Motors and I couldn't be more excited! George and his team run an honest, professional and welcoming establishment, they did a great job on my car-- as if it was never in a collision. George was nice throughout the whole process and kept me updated on my car. I would definitely recommend anyone to getting their car repaired here. Thank you Exclusive Motors!! 5 star service read more

It seems to me that today almost everyone is out to get as much from everyone as they possibly can by whatever means possible. It's rather sad but it starts at the top and works it's way right to the bottom. There are probably some dubious practices going on in some places, and some have personally / probably never ripped anyone off. But a person can very rarely find an honest mechanic. I had an honest one long ago, but he changed occupations because he wasn't making lots of money for being honest. The damage assessed at this business was that my Saab had a coolant leak. I was told that my vehicle needed a (remove/replace) cooling thermostat housing; (remove/replace) heater hoses (2); with an [estimated] total amount of $574.67 (including labor) was needed to make necessary repairs. I'm not going to critique this business as they made no repairs. However, when I asked if they had knowledge of a service garage who specializes in Saab repair, they couldn't. Just so you know ... there is a garage that specializes in Saab's, located about 250 steps (west) from Exclusive Motors. A $574.67 cost took 45 minutes to replace a rubber "o-Ring" inside one of the (2) leaking hoses and was repaired for $30 at the neighboring business... read more

I came in to have my tires installed. I purchased them on Amazon and they offered Exclusive Motors as a service installation option, which is how I found out about the shop. George said that I could have my tires shipped there (which was a huge help so I didn't have to stuff four tires in my Civic!). I had wanted to get an alignment as well because I thought that is what you were supposed to do when you get new tires. George was honest and told me that if my car is driving straight, then there is no need for that because you don't want to mess with the alignment (the other two places I called didn't tell me that). While installing the tires, they noticed that my fuel tank was leaking. I had been smelling gas for a few months on and off, so I didn't think about it until he mentioned the leak. I had my car inspected a month and a half ago by my Honda Service Center and they checked my entire car including the fuel tank and said there were no issues. George told me that he thinks the part may be under warranty and that is why Honda doesn't want to fix it - because they don't make any money. George walked me over to my car and showed me exactly what the issue was explaining everything in detail. I was surprised by such honesty from a car service center! read more

Very honest ... Had a loaner car for my $900 repair. Awesome................... Who gives loaner can now days?? Not even the dealers do that. George is very honest about his prices. Clean shop and very good mechanics. Will be back.. read more

Super awesome staff, brought my car in later in the evening after it died on the side of the 405. Owner is really nice dude, gave my boyfriend a ride home nearby after being stranded. Solid spot. read more

I brought my BMW here for a quote regarding an accident that recently happened. A woman had side swiped my car and there was minor damage to primarily my rear bumper and the right rear side of the car. Before bringing my car to Exclusive Motors, I was quoted for over $1900 to repair everything. When I brought it to George, the cost was $0. The damage to my car was so minor, repainting one entire side of the car would have probably brought the entire value of my car down and desirability as the paint job of the car would be uneven. George was kind enough to provide his own insight and help me think through what the best thing I could do was according to my aims. George proceeded to fix a side skirt that was hanging off my BMW, polished most of the scraped paint off, and helped me detail scratches all over my car free of charge. George is real. George is genuine. George is the man. He could have tried to take advantage of my situation and assessed my car for an unnecessary paint job, but he didn't. I fully recommend Exclusive Motors as a business striving to provide honest, dependable, and excellent work. Many thanks to George and all those who work at Exclusive Motors! Word. read more

I'm writing this review on behalf of my girlfriend. She drives an early model Audi TT that has seen a lot of miles. And I don't care what people say, German engineering isn't all it's cracked up to be. Whenever she goes into a mechanic's shop by herself, she knows she's at the mercy of mechanics who can get away with overcharging her for things she doesn't need. I can't tell you how many times one repair was never enough and how they would recommend she should come back in. Yet the problems always seem to compound on each other as if they were sabotaging the car. It was astounding how different repair shops diagnosed different problems in the same car with insane prices. Sometimes I could go with her and the mechanic wouldn't risk outing himself as a crook in the possibility I know a little bit about cars, but I can't be there all the time. I'm so glad she tried out Exclusive Motors and finally got treated fairly as a customer should. He actually did the diagnostic right in front of her, and then brought up a computer image of the engine and to show her what the problem was, and more importantly how everything else in the car was fine. He simply replaced the air mass meter sensor and the car was fixed. He also detected by hearing alone that she needed more oil. He repaired it quickly and the car now has a new life to it. It's running smoothly for the first time in a while and there hasn't been a problem since. I just think it's amazing he also told her why and how the other shops were trying to rip her off. The best part of all of this is she now has peace of mind whenever she needs a repair. She doesn't have to stress about dealing with crooked mechanics and worry about the cost. I was ecstatic to hear how satisfied she was. I agree with all the other reviewers here that this business does not take advantage of the customer. They understand the best way to make profit is through honesty and satisfaction. I will start taking my cars to Exclusive Motors as well read more

I am very pleased wi the the personal attention and the quality of service from George and his amazing staff at Exclusive Motors. Trustworthy and Professional. The best ! I completely reccomend this place to everyone. The mechanics are highly trained. You actually leave that place with a smile on your face. Thank you to everyone. Miguel Reyes read more

My neighbor nicked my A4 pulling into her car port next to mine. Distraught, she told me about the damage, offered to pay for repairs and suggested Exclusive Motors, which I pass by virtually every day. George, the owner, was very frank with me and advised that a proper paint job was unnecessary and that he would touch up the paint for free. Not only did he do that, he went on to touch up the rest the of car! Although he offered to do it for free I offered him money anyway. He refused it. Hell, he even refused the Starbucks gift card I happened to have on hand. He's a prince, that George! For your added value, George staffs the front office with what appears to be former (or possibly current) strippers and/or bikini models. Just sayin'. Patronize this business! read more

Brought my dad's Saab here to get checked out, and George was very friendly and informative. I'm pretty apprehensive about the whole auto repair business, but this place seems like a genuine, honest shop. I will be a return customer, and would definitely recommend them. read more

Favorite reliable spot for when my RR lights turn on!! Always a go to for an honest diagnosis and solid work!

This place is absolutely amazing. It is welcoming, affordable, and has a comfortable atmosphere. The workers there are all very friendly and helpful. George's dedication to helping me get my suitcases which were stuck for in my trunk for over a week made my day. I have a volvo, and I had to bring my car to two different mechanics before I brought it here. Before I brought it to exclusive, not even a shop that specializes in volvo's could fix my problem. THANK YOU EXCLUSIVE MOTORS!!!!! read more

I LOVE EXCLUSIVE MOTORS! They have restored my faith that you can find a trustworthy and reliable repair shop. I have taken my Passat in to George and his team a few times now and I am never disappointed. He performed a diagnostic and inspection FOR FREE. Usually my dealership will charge $120 for this service unless you can commit to hundreds of dollars of repairs. George explained everything in detail and printed out the report so I knew exactly what was going on. Usually with other shops, I have been in the dark and taken advantage of. I never have to worry about that here. This week I picked up my car after major repairs and bodywork and it looks brand new (it is 7 years old)! The paint job is perfect and they even gave me a complimentary car wash. You know the place is good when you see the neighborhood dealerships dropping their cars off there! CALL GEORGE! read more

I brought my Audi A3 here for service and George was extremely helpful and patient. He explained everything in detail and provided me with such great customer service that I won't go anywhere ever again. He has a nice waiting room with WIFI. There is also a fish tank right next to a very comfy sofa. He also got coffee and water. However, the five stars goes to his customer service. He got a customer for life. read more

There is no better auto repair/body shop in Los Angeles. George Frem, the owner and manager, is an expert mechanic who does exceptional work and comparatively low prices. He's just as quick to tell you what you don't need need as to tell you why you do need. I would trust him with my life, not just my car. Take you vehicle here next time it needs ANYTHING. George is your guy. read more

George is the best! Exceptional customer service; he is so accommodating and professional; I am so glad to have someone we can trust for car repairs and service. Thank you so much for years of amazing service, George! read more

I had a really bad experience here. I came in to do a brake job on my car. He tried to charge me way too much for the job. I bought the parts and he still over charged me for the labor. On top of that he did a horrible job. He didn't check the calipers, which is important. If they are bad it ruins the brakes and routers fast. Of course shady people like that don't care because that means you need them again sooner then you should be needing them. I filed a complaint with the Bureau of Automotive. All the time and paperwork needed is annoying. I'm losing out on work just to deal with it. It's not even worth fighting. People need to boycott this place if that's how they treat their customers. read more

Best customer service, George is very helpful and patient and takes his time to do a good job! I suggest anyone to come here they will really help you out read more

Dear Exclusive Motors, When i first drove into the shop there were several other Jaguar models similar to my own, being serviced. I admit my engine was doing silly things and making unattractive noises. George was there! George will always put a smile on your cars body and your face! He is a sweetheart. He understands the engine and what is needed to resolve the situation. The mechanics are amazing. They have their heart dedicated to the care of each vehicle. One Love, Sincerely yours, signed -85' Jaguar xj6 & it's owner/driver Hannah read more

I really hate giving a bad review to such a friendly guy but I think my story should be heard. The transmission on my 04 Mercedes ML350 crapped out on me and would not shift out of 1st gear. My car was on the tow truck and I told the driver to take me to the dealership for the fix. I was informed by a different independent repair shop that some electronics needed to be reset in order to run a diagnostic and that only a dealership could do the job......WRONG! The driver suggested that I skip the dealership and try Exclusive Motors seeing he sent some people who liked the work. I called to confirm they could do the work and we were on our way. After filling out the paperwork and waiting for about an hour the owner George told me they were done and walked me out to the car to review the findings. He showed me all the stuff they looked at and told me that a computer inside my transmission needed to be replaced and that it would cost me $4K. I told him that I'd rather just sell the car for parts than pay that much. He was nice and I paid $100 for the diagnostic and left with my car. I decided to try the other shop that the tow truck driver initially suggested the following Monday when they were open. Initially I was a bit turned off on the owner there seeing how eager he was to sympathize with my situation. Either way I said this is my last shot and waited for his diagnostic. He came back and said that a chip needs to be replaced in my transmission and that it would cost $800. I asked why did I receive two completely different quotes. He told me that I would have to get the suggested $4K fix if I owned a 06 or newer model and that my transmission does not have a computer inside of it. I was livid to say the least. As nice as George and his waiting room is, his shop is either incompetent or immoral. Either way, there is no way I would ever come back. read more

George is great. I called and asked the price for getting my spark plugs replaced. He quoted me $100 and honored that price when I came in. Of course when they did an inspection they found a few other things I needed to get work done on which they notified me of which was going to cost me hundreds of dollars. I kindly took the advice and left with new spark plugs installed. I would consider them in the future as not many places like to install customer provided parts. Thanks George! read more
