I dropped my 1997 ford pickup now today for the forth time for check engine light since smog is coming due but keep getting check engine light and paid 150+then 30+ then 650+ then who knows since back there again today for check engine light My first was Firestone for 500+ so this is quite tiring since I just can't get an honest result within the last month read more

This place was great! Albert was highly informative, professional, and moreover honest, which is difficult to find nowadays. I went to two mechanics, one including the dealership my Honda civic is from, but Albert was the only one able to diagnose my car problem and was able to explain it as well. My wife and I are going to bring our cars here from now on and spread the word of how reliable this place is. First impressions are important, and this was a great first experience. Thanks. read more

The knowledgeable and generous experts at Gardena Auto Repair went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND to help my car pass the dreaded California Smog Test!! I don't drive the freeways much so it's very tricky trying to complete the drive cycles to check off the many required items on the list. Have you ever been undercharged by an auto shop? Unheard of! I was charged for a fraction of the time they could have charged. Generally I enjoy supporting family owned and operated businesses when the treat you like a member of the family rather than a number. Thank you to the entire family at Gardena Auto Repair for providing excellent valuable customer service! read more

I needed 3 engine mounts done. The price for the work was reasonable. They also pointed out other things that were worn out and asked me if I wanted it done, price, and time to do. They do a thorough job and they are really nice too. My car runs smoothly now. read more

My husband and I used this great shop after a local competitor, who we have used in the past, quoted a crazy high number to replace the alternator in my 2008 Scion. A neighbor recommended Gardena Auto so we called and talked to Dan. I was able to get my car in and fixed same day for a reasonable price! Thanks for the friendly neighborhood service and fast turn around! read more

I had a Safety Recall from Honda that required I go to a licensed Honda service center. This place makes appointments, has a shuttle service and one of the cleanest and well-appointed waiting rooms. My appointment was with Marvin. He greeted me right away, took my vin number and gave me an estimated time that my car would be ready. He kept his promise and had my car ready a little early!! I recommend Marvin and this service center highly. read more

My Honda Crv looks waayy better than it did before! Got into a fender bender and Kenny was communicative and on-time. Job well done.

Two brothers running an honest auto body shop. I highly recommend Gardena Auto Repair. You may pay a little more than their competitors in the area, but it is well worth it. They are very honest and thorough. read more

I've taken our family's cars here for years. I suggest calling ahead since they get busy. They do everything from basic services like oil changes and tire rotations to advanced transmissions and brakes. My wife has multiple cars so I take her cars here too. They are very knowledgeable and drive with you to help diagnose issues. The brothers are honest and have told me on multiple times that I didn't need this or that replaced yet and saved me a bunch of money. They aren't the cheapest deal around but a lot better than the dealership services. If you want honest mechanics to work on your car then you can't go wrong with this family business. read more

Dean is amazing! I got recommended to this auto repair through a dear friend. It was the first time I entered the used car industry in Los Angeles and I needed a lot of support in the process. Not only is everyone super helpful, everyone is super kind and actually care about your car, your car experience and making informed decisions. For someone like me who was just starting to step her toes into the used car industry, it is a gold mine. I thank you a million times! One million! Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

I have had company and personal cars repaired and serviced here for more than 20 years. I trust them as I can not remember any thing that I have ever had to return for problems. Just had my wife's car in yesterday for service and it only took 45 minutes. i like them as they are so friendly and will take you home if you have to leave your vehicle. Beats going to a dealer for repair work I have found. Give them a try. read more

If you are looking for a honest auto repair shop, take your car to Gardena Auto. Great, professional service. You won't be disappointed.

I have been going to Gardena Auto Repair for the past 7 years, the few times I have decided to go elsewhere to get a quick oil change I always regret it. I used to live close by, but even though I have to drive ~30 minutes to get to them, they are completely worth it!! I go there because they are honest, hard working, efficient and they always tell me the truth. Which is hard to find amongst auto mechanics. They are fairly priced for the quality of work and I have full confidence that they are not taking advantage of me. Peace of mind is priceless! read more

I accidentally posted this review to the WRONG Gardena Auto. The Gardena Auto I meant to refer to was the one near 166th and Western - NOT ROSECRANS. The folks at Gardena auto are true automotive geniuses. Four cars, perfect result every single time. Over the years I've brought in a Chrysler, Hyundai, Nissan, and Acura; had SMOG WORK, TRANSMISSION REBUILD, ENGINE WORK, COOLING SYSTEM, and BRAKE work done. They even do SMOG CHECK. Gardena Auto charges more than most - but I'm willing to pay the premium 'cause I ALWAYS get my car fixed within a day or two. I suspect there are relatively few cars on their lot because of the higher pricing. Go to Gardena Auto if (1) You're not poor =), (2) You want your car repaired right away, (3) You want to deal with true automotive experts, and (4) You DON'T want to bring your car BACK two or three times due to shoddy service. read more

I completely agree with the first 2 reviews. I drive a half hour to take our car to this shop, and it is more than worth it. Completely honest and dependable. They are not the cheapest, but they are the best, so that it is worth it in the long run. My extended family has depended on them for many years. They are experts, and they value the trust that people place in them. They are actually a 7 star business. read more

Don and his staff are the BEST! Trustworthy and fair. My father took his cars here, and I definitely will continue to do the same.
