These guys are great, I send my customers to get an alignment here any time we repair the suspension. This place works on my Mercedes and also on vehicles that are lowered or lifted. Price is good for the work they do. They have a big shop too that accommodates large trucks , diesels and RVS. I recommend these guys to any one who needs an alignment with good quality parts. read more

They tell you one price once you get there expect a bump on your cost don't waste your time

Ruben, I am a huge believer in customer service. You have the personality that it takes to make a business a success. When I arrived you were straight and to the point and made me feel like I was in good hands. That's important for me because I truly value my rides and your pricing was less than I've had at other shops. You have a customer for life. read more

Not a good choice for high end vehicles. Based on the reviews and a personal recommendation we decided to trust Gardena Bear with service for our business's several hundred thousand dollar vehicle. Ruben told us we had to drop the car off and leave. We explained that we were not allowed to do that and could wait. We were the first and only ones there. This seemed to really bother him - he spontaneously started arguing that he wouldn't "steal our technology" then told us we might have to wait half a day, went inside and started watching TV and eating a donut. We were the first and only ones there so we waited a bit and then my colleague went in to ask what the estimated time might be. Ruben again launched into a defensive argument about not trusting him with our vehicle. We hadn't said anything about not trusting him - we brought the car there. It was clear he wasn't going to help us unless we left him alone with the car and all the unsolicited arguing about why we shouldn't not trust him had the opposite effect. Ultimately, we decided to leave and take the car to a shop with more experience with high end vehicles and customers. choice. read more

Went in for a wheel alignment because I had just installed some NEW 35" tires and drove out with a white SPRAY PAINTED line (on the tread) on EACH of my brand new tires that lasted about 2 years. read more

Great service! I went in today for a wheel alignment and the guys there were very nice. I was out of there in a timely fashion and best of all, my car runs so smooth now! I like how even after a test drive following my alignment the mechanic double checked to make sure everything was done. And they were cheaper than another well known automotive parts chain. Thank you so much! read more

Went every where around south Los Angeles to get a alignment on my lifted truck and no could do it not even the dealer. They all told me my rims were too wide and I would have to put the stocks on. 4 wheel parts had a 3 week wait. But I was pointed to Gardena Bear Wheel Alignments. They not only did the wheel alignment. They had me in and out in 30 mins. From now on this is the only place I'll come for my suspension work read more

Gardena Bear Wheel Alignment - Auto Repair Near Me - Gardena, California

See all

It's really great when you find a mechanic or auto repair shop you can really trust!  This is exactly what I found when I visited Gardena Bear yesterday - to have some brake work done on my Corolla. I had taken my car in for brakes about a year ago to a cheap place in Torrance.  The place I visited charged me a boat load for brakes and new rotors claiming my new car's rotors could not be machined - hmmm. So, after getting frustrated at the constant squeeking, I finally visited Gardena Bear. Right from the start, their customer service, clear communication and speed were great.   After dropping the car off, I received a call in about an hour - telling me the brake pads I had (from the crummy place) were still perfectly good - they were just squeaky and probably of disappointing quality.  The technician told me he couldn't - in good conscience - recommend new brakes for me (as there was no safety or wear issues; plenty of pad left)...unless I simply wanted to solve for the noise problem (which I did). So, I decided to have the front brakes done and an oil change...and everything looks and sounds (absence of sound) great. In the end, how refreshing is it to go to a mechanic, have them honestly diagnose your car...not upsell or oversell you...and fix the car - right, the first time!  It was a very fair price combined with really quality service.  I can't recommend them enough!!!! read more

I was calling around for a place for servicing the brakes on my Civic. After getting some really high quotes, I called Stan at Gardena Bear who invited me in for a free brake inspection.  I showed up about an hour before closing and was able to get right in. The staff was all friendly and answered my questions thoroughly.  I learned about the brand of pads they use and the options as far as cost vs. quality. I decided to give them the go ahead, thinking I would have to bring it back tomorrow, but they were willing to stay and get it done. As I was waiting for it, they kept me informed about what they were finding. Several of the rotors were warped, as I suspected, so I was expecting bad news and increased cost, but they were able to machine the rotors one last time. I had front and rear brakes and fluid flush done for a very reasonable cost and done quickly and efficiently.  This morning I received a phone call asking me if everything was working as expected and thanking me for my business.   All in all, very satisfied with this business. read more

Best of the best all I can say came in with my jeep srt8 i was having issues and with the alignment it fixed it all. 10/10 recommend

Wow!  It's hard to find honest, solid customer service at a lot of places these days, especially at auto mechanics.  Gardena Bear Wheel Alignment is an exception to this. I had an issue with damage to my vehicle from a AAA tow guy improperly using a jack on my car (grrr).  Stan really went above and beyond to help me get my issue resolved and didn't try to get me to pay for things I didn't need. He even printed out a diagram of the affected pieces to help try to get some relief from the company that damaged my vehicle. The price was great, the service was excellent, the waiting time wasn't bad (faster than I expected) and they really took the time to go through various options with me. They were even friendly and enjoyable to converse with!  WOW! I will DEFINITELY be coming back next time something arises. read more

Awesome service in a timely manner!! Thanks for the help!! Got my truck alignment and brakes done.

After going to Firestone Tires with two attempts for an alignment on my lift truck and failed, Gardena Bear Wheel Alignment was able to do the alignment the "old school" way. My truck was pulling to the left drastically out of Firestone lot limp mode home. Thanks to Ruben for your amazing knowledge and experience. My truck is now going straight as an arrow. read more

I decided to give this location a try on the word from a friend. From the moment I arrived Ruben asked me what was i experiencing. I told him I just got new tires and I feel it pull to the right. He immediately pulled my truck in gave it a look measured with a tire device and told me I needed just an alignment and that my suspension was good. Nice guy who I could tell was good at what he does and like his work. Their method of alignment is the old school way as opposed to today's modern way of doing the alignment. I asked him how long it would take and he told me an about an hour. I walked to a burger place and ate while Ruben did his thing. I would most definitely come back. read more

GREAT PLACE!!!!!!! very honest just make sure to ask for Ruben. went in because my brakes were feeling funny.so i dropped it off and in about an hr ruben called me to tell me to tell me one of my pads was cracked and i was missing a bolt. so i gave them the go ahead to fix it. so when i showed up to pick up my truck Ruben showed me the brake pad that was cracked. that impressed me the most seeing how other guys would just say they did somthing and well you guys know. so now im a customer as long as Ruben works there. read more

I've had a lot of cars over the last 40 years and have done a lot of repairs myself. I had a squeak from the engine compartment. I spent a lot of time starting, stopping, pushing, pulling, rocking and was 99% sure I found the problem. I took it to Bear and Ruben checked it out. He said it was the lower control arm bushings. I was ready to bet that he was wrong. Needless to say, he is good, and I was wrong. So, replacing the control arms, front and rear wheel alignment and wheel balancing, left me with a car that drives like new... I'm impressed! You have a new customer for life. Thank you, Sean read more

Stan has worked on my car a few times and it is always a positive experience! He is honest about your repair work too. He will tell you the truth even if he looses money. Work is done quickly and soon you will be on your way. read more

Had my Jeep Cherokee's brakes done here, along with my alternator and several other services. I've always taken my car to the dealership for repairs. But I decided to try a local business this time. Saved myself a lot of money! I was very happy with my services here, the staff was very friendly and knew what they were talking about. They took me out to my car, had me look under it and actually see what needed to be done instead of showing me on paper, as a dealership would. Stan walked me through the entire process and was very helpful in getting me to understand the repairs that needed to be done. I would highly recommend this place for your auto repair needs! read more

Do NOT take your car here!!! They quote you one price, call you and tell you more work needs to be done and give you a higher price and before you can call back with the authorization to do the work, they tell you the work is already done and you have to pay the higher price!! Don't waste your time here...go somewhere else!!! read more
