    What a great service!!! My daughter's car had a heat plate come loose and I contacted express mechanic and they delivered. They set up an appointment, came early, and FIXED the car on the spot. What a relief and I am so thankful. Will use again if I ever need and highly recomed

    Old Rod Bearings.  Notice the wear.
    Matt K.

    First and foremost I must say that Allan and the mechanic, Daniel, that was sent out to me did an excellent job. Daniel was very professional and thorough with his work, triple checking that everything up to spec and that the job was done properly. I hope to use Daniel again in future work. I have a 2001 BMW 330i with 230,000 miles that has had a nasty oil leak since I purchased the car second hand. Its been 13 years since I have owned the car and I have stacks of card board boxes that I use when parking in my garage to absorb the leak. I decided to finally get the oil pan gasket replaced after all these years. Putting new engine mounts was a no brainer since it is part of the process to remove the oil pan gasket as well. I was going to do it myself but I also figured since the pan is off I should also do the rod bearings. This car has been abused and maintenance not followed (not doing oil changes or just having little oil in the engine due to the leak) which means that the rod bearings are at risk of being damaged, causing a spun rod or rod knock. Rod bearing replacement is a job far above my pay grade so I decided to look around on Yelp. I already was planning to source the parts myself as I have a store that offers lifetime warranty so all I was looking for was labor. All shops quoted me thousands, YES THOUSANDS WITH AN "S", of dollars to do the job. Granted, the work I was requesting is indeed labor intensive and those are the going rates. Its a very precise process that requires patience and time, not simply remove and put in bolts. Fortunately Allan responded to my estimate inquiry and gave a VERY reasonable offer that no one on their right mind would refuse. It was a steal and I couldn't say no. He said they could work anywhere. So if you live in an apartment and/or don't have access to space, they will even work on the street. Daniel was came earlier than I had made an appointment for and was ready to work. I stayed to watch and let me say he did not take any shortcuts nor try to rush the job. I wrench myself on little things here and there and I can say that Daniel is a professional in his craft. I knew it was going to be long so I brought out my cooler and had drinks for Daniel so he wouldnt get dehydrated. It took an entire day and an additional 3 hours the next to finish the job. He cleaned everything up and also did not leave any trash. My car is now running like it just came off the lot. I have recommended Allan and Daniel to my coworkers who also have been looking for a trusty mechanic. One of my coworkers has already used them and also expressed the exact same sentiments I did. I have also mentioned them on certain forums online. I hope the business grows and that it becomes even more success than it already is. Thank you Allan and Daniel! Tldr; Professional Clean On time Extremely economical Friendly Apartment friendly; can work almost anywhere

    Repairs done at the convenience of my condo. Danny's down there doing his thing.

    My Tacoma which I've had since it was new 18 years ago started making some weird noise that I…read morecouldn't figure out what it was from. I took it in to a place AAA recommended in downtown LA and explain the issue. They told me I needed a new timing chain along with a whole bunch of other stuff and quotes me $4800 for it. This was preceded with a lot of scare tactics on what will happen if I don't have the work done, which came across as very used car salesman-ish. When I ran the quote through ChatGPT I was told they were charging me dealership pricing for an independent mechanic for that type of work in LA. So I brought the truck here to Speedway where I had Minor worked done before and had a good experience. They told me my bearings need to be replaced and did the work for lesson than a quarter of the price I was quoted at the other mechanic. Work was finished in a day and the truck has been running perfectly since then. Had I spent to 4800 at the place it wouldn't have even resolved the issue, which means I would've had to come out of the pocket even more after the initial work was done. Obviously a truck of this age is gonna have some problems and when they inevitably happen again I will be back here at Speedway to take care of them. Highly recommend this place for integrity, quality, efficiency and fair pricing.

He even sent me videos of all the pieces that were broken or worn down, and sent me videos of each fix. Him and his team were very trustworthy and I highly recommend them.

    I called this place to get a quote for my front windshield. I asked if I could just do it as a walk…read morein really quick and the guy told me yes that there is no wait and that he'd be there in 20mins. I went and when I showed up I parked and made line. The guy asked me if I was the one who had called and I told him yes.He asked what shade I wanted and i told him the lightest one he had available. Another customer then showed up (also a walk in) and the guy walked over and began helping her instead of me despite me being there first and him already having had begun "helping" me. The guy began tinting the other lady's windshield so I pulled up a chair to wait. The lady looked at the guy confused as to why he was cleaning her windshield before stopping him and telling him that she called about her horn going off randomly. He seemed very frantic and disorganized. I then watched as he began watching a youtube tutorial on how to do it and taking her car apart.... 30 minutes into what was supposed to be 20 mins, I began looking for other window tint places in the area and found a place right around the corner who got started on my window tint right away! As soon as I left I was getting phone calls from jc's auto repair but I was already having my car serviced elsewhere. Didn't feel comfortable having my car done here anymore due to the lack of organization, lack of attention, and didn't like the way he stopped helping me (for what would have been a 30 min task) to help another customer who had showed up AFTER me and required a diagnostic and purchase of parts before even being able to begin her service ...... bad experience overall and would not come here or recommend to anyone
