The "dealer" wanted quite a bit of $ just to diagnose my car's transmission leak. Soto's lifted up…read morethe car, and immediately let me know it was just the transmission pan gasket. They changed it and filled up the transmission in less than an hour. The total cost was far, far less than the dealer's proposed diagnosis fee. I don't have a lot in the way of financial resources, and I know little about cars. I really appreciate Soto's honesty and service. I'll never go anywhere else for transmission help.

I don't usually write reviews, but Roberto's Auto Repair absolutely earned this one…read more I originally found them after asking ChatGPT for recommendations on a trustworthy mechanic to diagnose some steering issues with my car, and Roberto's was the first recommendation. From my very first phone call, I had a great experience. I called on a Thursday, and they were able to get me in the very next day. The receptionist was friendly, welcoming, and made the entire scheduling process incredibly easy. When I dropped my car off on Friday, I explained the steering concerns I'd been experiencing. They listened carefully, assured me they would thoroughly inspect everything, and later that afternoon called to let me know they expected to have the car ready by Monday. What impressed me the most was their honesty. After inspecting my car, they told me they couldn't find anything that needed to be replaced regarding my steering concerns. They easily could have recommended unnecessary repairs, and I never would have known the difference, but they chose to be honest instead. That kind of integrity is hard to find. They also performed a wheel alignment, topped off my tire pressure, and even identified a completely separate issue that will need attention in the future. They gave me a quote for that repair without any pressure or sales tactics. To top it all off, my final bill was nearly $200 less than I had originally expected. Finding a mechanic you can genuinely trust is rare, and I feel like I found one. Roberto's Auto Repair has earned a customer for life. If you're looking for honest people who do quality work and treat customers with respect, I can't recommend them enough.

I'm EXTREMELY disappointed with my experience at this transmission shop. I came here for a simple…read morecar scan for codes to determine the issue with my car but left with a headache and $300 less in my wallet!!!!! They had my car for three full weeks, which was far longer than I was originally told. When I finally got my vehicle back, it was in the exact same condition as when I dropped it off--despite being told the spark plugs had been replaced and the issue had been fixed. Not only did I waste weeks without my car, but I now have to take it somewhere else to actually get the problem resolved. When confronted about a refund, the owner ignored our concerns and decided to keep our money even though we didn't agree to replace the spark plugs when we simply wanted a car scan. The lack of communication, the excessive delay, and the fact that the issue wasn't fixed at all made this whole process incredibly frustrating. Please AVOID this shop at all costs! _____________________________________________________________________ Estoy sumamente decepcionado con mi experiencia en este taller de transmisiones. Vine para un simple escaneo del auto para detectar códigos de error y determinar el problema, ¡pero me fui con un dolor de cabeza y $300 menos en mi bolsillo! Tuvieron mi auto durante tres semanas completas, mucho más de lo que me habían dicho inicialmente. Cuando finalmente lo recuperé, estaba exactamente igual que cuando lo dejé, a pesar de que me habían asegurado que habían cambiado las bujías y que el problema estaba solucionado. No solo perdí semanas sin mi auto, sino que ahora tengo que llevarlo a otro taller para que solucionen el problema. Cuando les reclamamos el reembolso, el dueño ignoró nuestras preocupaciones y decidió quedarse con nuestro dinero a pesar de que no habíamos aceptado cambiar las bujías cuando simplemente queríamos un escaneo del coche. La falta de comunicación, la demora excesiva y el hecho de que el problema no se haya solucionado en absoluto hicieron que todo este proceso fuera increíblemente frustrante. ¡Por favor, eviten este taller a toda costa!

Well shocker after a couple of hours the car is ready and the bill is $423. Not sure why it didn't end up closer to $300 as he made it seem like $400 would be on the high side. Not sure what it would have cost elsewhere but I probably should have made a couple of calls to find out. It appears the job was adequately done though so 3 stars. Would have been 4-5 if price wasn't the high end of the numbers estimated. Also a very difficult place to get in and out of.

I just want to say that Atlas Transmission saved the life of my car. Jimmy was so honest and…read moretransparent about the cost of everything and he seemed like a really nice standup guy. My transmission drives better now than when I first got my car. No joke, it shifts so smooth now. He said it was probably because of the seal. When they get hold they harden and it messes with the pressure. Jimmy is a small business and he strictly does transmissions. I had just come off of a really bad experience shopping around. Range Rovers Transmissions are expensive and most places quote around $6000 and do not do used transmissions. Jimmy is one of the few places that will do it. And he only charged me $1000 for the labor. That's it. After getting such high quotes from all over LA I couldn't believe it. And was worried something was wrong. But I assure you it wasn't. The price comes out to similar used places, but rather than finding the part and marking up the price and the labor. He just charges you for the labor itself. And he does the labor himself. So that's why it was cheaper. He's doing it at cost. He prefers you source the transmission yourself. If it's used, you're taking a risk, because nobody knows if a used transmission is going to work, and you being the one to source it sort of frees him of the liability. I Can't rally say, but that makes sense to me. All he said was that, he is really busy and doesn't have time to research and find it for you. He Couldn't take my car till the weekend, so it made sense to me. I"ll tell you what, Jimmy recommended a site, but I went an https://www.car-part.com/ and found 4 transmissions from GERMAN KOREAN AND JAPANESE AUTO DISMANTLING and they were great. The Transmission is tested and verified to work with a 90 day warranty. They ship it directly to the shop. I picked one with lower mileage for a few hundred dollars more which was $1700. Plus Jimmy's labor made it $2700. Best deal in town. LIterally the best quote in LA. I had to research and order the transmission fluid myself as well. So it was also at cost and my choice which brand. It was a litte more leg work on my part, but the cost is literally the cost of it with no mark up. Other places told me a used transmission was in the range of $1700 and quoted me at $3000-$3600 similar to transmission super shop. So it checked out. The difference was, a lot of places were actually marking up the cost for profit quite a bit. Some places had given me a quote in that ballpark and then later when I called again a few months later quoted me closer to $6000. Jimmy on the other hand, the price was the price. No surprises. The Risk was just on me to source a good one. And I feel like all in all it worked out for the best. I should thank transmission super shop for telling me no. Because that helped me keep looking around and find Jimmy at Atlas Transmission. I should also thank Beach Cities for being honest about their prices and recommending Jimmy to me. That's how I found Jimmy, an honest shop that doesn't do used, recommended Jimmy as the guy they send people to. And I'm glad they did. My Car is driving great. I didn't have to sell it. And I saved a little money. So if you need a transmission and replacing it with a new one is outside of your budget, Jimmy is an option that worked for me. I can vouch for him.

It's really hard to find honest mechanics these days, but after speaking with the gentleman (come to find out it was the owner's son) on the phone, I immediately felt at ease. I brought my car in, and they diagnosed the problem. They let me know it might take some time since the part wasn't in stock. After I explained my situation to the owner Mr. Mahida, he told me to give him until the end of the day...which I really appreciated. By 5 PM that same evening, my car was ready. It wasn't cheap, but it was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind knowing my car was in good hands with honest people. I also really appreciated that they didn't try to upsell me on any services I didn't need. They did an amazing job, the service was excellent, and I would definitely recommend South Bay Euro Car!!!

My 2010 Ford Escape had a bad pulley and belt. The alternator was also bad as well, something I expected. I also needed and my brakes and rotors replaced, so while working on the rear ones they found my shocks to be worn and leaking. They shared their finding with photos and options before moving forward since they were working in that area. Definitely needed so I gave the go ahead and they replaced. Lastly my oil was leaking on top of the engine so I had them look into that as well. It was worse than I thought as the oil was flooding the intake, drowning in it. NZ Auto (Francisco) shared photos of the before and after, were very communicative and kept me informed throughout. They did great work and the pricing was fair for all that they did, great quality throughout. They also share recommendations for future work needed on the car, awareness, another great service to keep my car in good shape. Highly recommend.
