Sometimes the quality of work is the most important thing to comment on. But when you pair that with nice people, and people that give you an honest diagnosis of what is needed...Jackpot. A friend referred me, I wasn't disappointed! So I'm passing it along! read more

I've been to Grant Auto several times and I can't say enough good things about these people. Even when the job was outside their wheelhouse, they still went the extra mile to help diagnose the issue and recommend the right place to repair my car. And that's really what you want from a good mechanic -- the insider's referral to other good repair shops so you can get your car repair handled easily and properly for a reasonable price. Thanks for staying late to help me out, guys -- you really did me a solid! read more

Absolutely horrible experience. I would NOT recommend bringing your vehicle here. We came in looking for help with what appeared to be a straightforward A/C issue. Ali kept the car two full days and then claimed he needed another WEEK after not even diagnosing the very simple issue in the first place. No meaningful effort to help us. Just wasted time and an unbelievable amount of frustration. What makes this especially upsetting is that customers bring their vehicles to a repair shop because they need HELP. At the very least, you should be able to expect basic communication and for someone to follow through on what they tell you. Based on our experience, the customer service and communication here were completely unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. If getting your vehicle repaired promptly and dealing with people who actually communicate with you matters, I would seriously consider going somewhere else. We certainly won't be coming back. Save yourself the frustration. BEWARE. read more

Grant Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Friendly guys, they replaced my Mazda's leaking oil pan and some parts. It took a day or two longer than expected (they said they ordered the wrong part) and the communication was a bit slow. After I got the car back my oil pressure light came on as I was arriving home. I called them, very concerned, refusing to drive it unless it was looked at so they met me at my place. They took a look, and drove it back to their shop because it needed more oil. Things have been fine since. Definitely a better price than the dealership, but not as smooth as I hoped based on other reviews. read more

Wonderful people! Professional service and honest. My daughter's car broke down and Eli was super helpful. Don't hesitate to stop in if you need service for your car. read more

Grant Auto is hands down the best shop I've found in LA... I don't go anywhere else for my service! They go above and beyond to help with any issue I have, and I never have to worry about them over-quoting me for anything. Super friendly staff and amazing service read more

My 2019 Jeep had a check engine light on. I pulled the code and gave them a call. They ordered the part ahead of time and fixed it same day. Highly recommend. read more

Warning: Dishonest and Shady Business Practices I brought my car to this mechanic, trusting them to replace my alternator, which they claimed to have done. However, within just two months, the alternator failed again. I paid $600 for this so-called "repair" and now have every reason to believe they never did the job properly. I have readings from another mechanic showing that just after 2 months the alternator is bad and I did not purchase a new one as they lead me to believe I did. They also failed to reprogram my vehicle's electrical system after disconnecting the battery for an extended time, despite me explaining that it needed to be done. Every time I tried to address these issues, they deflected my questions, moving the goalposts and avoiding accountability. I called looking for a solution hoping this was a simple mistake but the angry hostile response I received confirmed I had been taken advantage of. When I sent Ali a video of the readings showing the "new" alternator was malfunctioning he had the audacity to accuse me of "wanting to play little games." Since when is expecting my car to run properly after spending over $1,000 a "game"? Every response from Ali was hostile. To make matters worse, he is now refusing to take my calls. This is completely unprofessional, and I am left with a malfunctioning car and no way to reach him. I have no other choice but to take him, the videos and statements from other mechanics to small claims court just so that I can get my money back. It's time consuming but giving people like this legal consequences is the only way to fight back. Shady, dishonest, and untrustworthy. Do not trust your car with these people. read more

Grant Auto - Reading showing the volts unable to reach the necessary 14 v for my car to operate. I sent this to Ali and he stopped taking my calls. - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very fair, competent, responsive and fast. What's not to like? Ask for Ali-super nice guy.

These guys are the best. Kind and honest and quick. Can't say enough good things. Thanks!

I went in for a brake pad and rotor replacement, and they did a phenomenal job. I left my keys with Eli and he called me within a few hours to tell me the car has been safety checked and is ready for pickup. They had the best price in town! I will definitely be returning. read more

Just found out after a few months that my battery was placed and programmed wrong at this shop, causing my transmission to malfunction. This cost me an additional $350 in diagnostics at the dealership. read more

got me in and out in a couple hours for a fair price. will be coming here again for oil changes and maintenance.

I know how hard is to find good mechanics in LA, specially for a woman, I was struggling with this for over 2 years and thanks to my friend, who recommended them to me, I could find nice people to take care of my car. I highly recommend them. read more

Nice folks. Professional and honest. Half of what the dealer was charging. I'm a long term customer after one visit. Hat's off and keep up the good work. read more

A great. Place. To go for auto repair at a reasonable price and friendly service Mr Braidy is awesome. read more

DO NOT GO HERE FOR SERVICE! Ali Braidy lied to me and sold me an illegal catalytic converter and now I can't pass a smog check due to lack of identifying numbers. When I confronted them about it they tried to forge a smog check instead of replacing the part I paid for and used that as leverage to keep me quiet. Back story: I parked at a friend's house while I was out of town, and when I got back my original converter was stolen. Since the shop was literally 300 feet away from where I was parked, I called them for a quote and they were a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the dealership, so I went with them. $2100 later, Ali Braidy returns my car. When it comes time for my smog check, the technician fails my car because the catalytic converter does not have identifying numbers. When I contacted Ali, he first lied to me and said the numbers were on the top of the part. They weren't. When I called him again he rushed over to pick up my car from my house. He calls the next day saying that he was able to pass my car, but I would need to go through him for all future smog checks. I said I wanted a legal part like I originally paid for. When his worker returned my car he said that it would cost $6k for a real replacement and that I needed them. When I said I would report them to the BAR and LAPD if he didn't give me a legal part he said, "that's fine, they like to have coffee in our shop." Now I'm out $2100 for an illegal part, $40 for the failed smog check, a tank of gas, and I still have to buy a new converter to register my vehicle. These people are CRIMINALS. read more

Just good ol' honest and reliable auto shop. Took car in for a check up due to weird sounds and they were so honest and told me it looks all good! Another time they fixed my tires in less than 10min, my two toddlers in the car didn't get upset in the car because it was so quick! Highly recommend this place, everyone here is great, and most importantly, honest and it's such a rare find! read more

I cannot say any stronger that Ali and his team are all amazing heroes. They are friendly, more than fair, attentive, and thorough. Ali especially is a super fine individual and took care of all my truck's issues as they arose. More importantly, I needed to prepare the truck for a major drive, and Ali did a great job from front to rear going over any systems that might cause a road problem. Please, go see see Ali and experience first hand what a fair and trustworthy auto mechanic can be like. read more

A great place to take your car. They do not try to upsale you. Good work and a great price. read more

This is the best shop in the area. I've been looking for someone that I can trust, and I finally found them. Even better, they are around the corner from where I live. They fixed my car and were able to diagnose issues that nobody else was able to diagnose (for me, it was issues starting the vehicle -- alternator and/or battery issues on my 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 sedan). I had to take it to two different shops before coming here, but nobody was able to help except for Grant Auto. I highly recommend anyone come here first for inspections/opinions/any work that needs to be done because they performed better than the two other shops that I visited before them. They are my go-to from now on. read more

Ali, the Mngr, & his staff were great. They changed my brake light bulbs & were very professional. They didn't make me feel like I was bothering them. I'm new to the area so I will definitely be coming back for any car repairs/servicing. Akbar (sp?) & Mohammad, their friend, was nice too. Thank you, Grant Auto! read more

Best garage indeed, i had A weird noise at the front and my previous garage told me there's nothing wrong with it, so i went to Grant auto and Ziad took the time to check everything until he found the problem and fix it in a heartbeat, He's very friendly and very professional, from now they will be my official garage! Thank you so much read more

Grant fought! I took my Toyota pick up truck, my Mercedes-Benz and my jeeps to Grant for 20 years ago, I never left on Hair. I took Marino 4 x 4 jeep last week and I'm still happy. I'm remembering the good times I'm remembering what it's like to be helped and pay money to a good company, I love you Grant Fought Auto. Keep it cooking. read more

Great people to work with. Honest, direct straightforward. Called for a simple oil change. They were very friendly on the phone gave me a quote, stood by their quote and didn't try to upsell me. read more

I've been here three times, and can't recommend it highly enough! A couple weeks ago, my check engine light was on, and I stopped at an AutoZone to have the codes read. They reccomended "the auto shop right over there". I hadn't planned to take care of things that day, but it was literally 5 seconds away, and I had a headlight out too, so...I popped over to Grant Auto. I gave my headlight bulb to Ali, and told him that I had recently been to Jiffy Lube to have it replaced, but the mechanic there said it started smoking. Ali said "was it smoking, or did he just not know how to do it?" (I have a German car). We both rolled our eyes and laughed, and he got to work. He replaced the bulb no problem, and I told him which codes came up for my check engine light. Without missing a beat, he told me that one of those codes is related to a recall, so I should call VW first, and double check so I don't waste any money. So honest, and helpful! Fast-forward to yesterday, I came back to finally get it taken care of. This time, I met Ziad. He is so personable! He had me smiling and laughing right away, and I knew my car was in good hands. I had my oil changed, and the check engine light dealt with. I sat in the garage for a little bit, and while watching Ziad work, I saw how unbelievably thorough he is. He was getting out of my car, and the door screeched. He opened and shut it a few times, listening to it screech...and then went and grabbed something, sprayed it in the hinges, and the screeching disappeared. That horrible noise had been driving me nuts for THREE YEARS ! It annoyed me every single day, but I never remember to take care of it. Ziad just did it absent-mindedly. I am SO happy about that small thing, I can't even express. His attention to detail is remarkable. We hit a bump in the road; one of the check engine codes was going to be a very expensive fix. I was looking at replacing a specific filter for my (diesel) engine, and it was going to cost at least $700. Ziad saved the day! He suggested that we try spraying this special engine cleaner in there first, and that drive it at high speed to burn the soot off...and see if that would clear the problem, without needing to replace the part. To make a very long story slightly shorter...it WORKED! I saved $700+, and today, I passed my smog check. Unrelated: Last night, it was raining. There is a leak somewhere in my headliner, and it started raining INSIDE my car. I drove my car back to Grant Auto today, and Ziad was there again. He greeted me by name! As someone with an uncommon name, I'm not used to people remembering it, so it really made my day that he remembered. I know this review is already a novel, so I won't bore you with the details of my rain-soaked interior, but Ziad is the MAN. He worked so hard to help me, and I am grateful beyond words. I have had the same mechanic for 10 years, prior to coming to Grant Auto. Since moving to LA, I have been driving to Riverside to every time I need a major repair, because I don't trust anyone else. I can now say that I trust Grant Auto. Ziad, especially. 10/10. read more

Gosh, where the heck have I been spending my money on lately?? I'm coming here from now on! Ziad (sp?) was very friendly and helpful. I know nothing about cars and I learned more in him explaining things to me in a minute or less. Super easy to understand on car features and functionalities. One thing I really liked about this place was how fast the service was and no BS. I've had auto folks who try to take advantage of my lack of knowledge for cars so they can get me add on tons of service and pay a huge sum, and then to find out later by another that I got duped. Not here! Even when I was bit skeptical, he was very transparent with me. It felt good knowing that I wouldn't get screwed over. I had to get an oil change and my turn signal fixed. It came out so cheap! I've been to places where my oil change alone would've been the total here. It took only 30 min too. Prompt service and good vibes--what more can you ask for? I'm coming here and recommending all my friends and family to do so as well. read more

Great service! Will definitely be returning. They are very friendly :) jsyk, they do charge by the hour

My car was stolen and found, this business is taking such GREAT care of my car and it's SUPER AFFORDABLE!! I'm a female and you know how us lady's aren't really car smart, they took care of me is all I gotta say. They're really good at what they do and they do it for the right price. Trust me, your car is in good hands with these guys. read more

I have been going to Grant Auto for a few years now and every time I take my car in I am reminded why they're the best! Staff is always personable and honest. They're transparent about repairs. Last time I went in to get my brakes checked, they popped the car on the lift, took the tires off to show me the brakes and walked me through potential repairs. The prices are excellent and they''ve always been able to see my vehicle day-of . Been recommending them to friends and whole-heartedly recommend to anyone reading this! read more

I had bashed up my bumper and it was in really bad shape. I got a few quotes but theirs was the most affordable. They repaired my car really quickly and threw in a full detail (inside and out) free of charge!! And covered up a dent I had!! I was speechless! Highly recommend !! read more

High quality people and service Best west side resource for automotive Can't recommend more read more

I was referred to Grant Auto by a friend. I called this morning and asked when I could bring my car in to have the tail light fixed. Ali said bring it in now. Ali and his team fixed my tail light in less than 10 minutes, and refused payment. These guys are so sweet and kind. I will be returning, and I will be referring people. THANK YOU ALI AND TEAM!!! read more

It's excessively hard to find a trustworthy mechanic. I'm your typical young female who knows absolutely nothing about cars type so it's easy to get taken advantage of by greedy mechanics. Grant Auto has taken care of me in ways that feel like a family's referral or hook up. They are honest and do amazing work for a reasonable price. I had been embarrassed by my car's screeching brakes and overall appearance for a while. I took it to one place and they overcharged me and the problem persisted a week later. Took it to Ali and Nagy at Grant and now my car looks and sounds brand new! I'm forever grateful and will refer them to anyone who needs an honest mechanic. read more

I highly recommend Grant Auto not only for vehicular care but for their consistent care for others. For the past two years, I have been treated with such disarming kindness, patience, and sincerity. They are honest in their transactions, swift in their solutions, thorough in their execution. Great humans that inject good will into their work that can be felt by their customers. There is some kind of magic here and I am so grateful to be able to trust their work. Thank you endlessly for keeping me, my car, and everyone on the road safe! :) Natalie read more

Ali and Nagy are true Professionals. They are fair and make sure to keep you updated throughout any repairs. I can't speak more highly of the speed of service and quality of work! If anything isn't right, let them know and they will make sure you leave satisfied! Best, Seth Wensel read more

These guy saved me so much. Can't thank them. I was really concerned about parts of my car had been getting misleading information. I knew some of it was wrong and some of it was right and these guys are able to confirm everything take care of it saved me a ton of money they're very honest and very capable. Ask for Ziad. You will love your decision. read more

They're honest. I've come here to have my brakes done and new spark plugs placed in. I am now doing my oil changes here as well after a bad experience at the Culver City Mazda service department. After Grant Auto had serviced my spark plugs, I went in to Culver Mazda for an oil change and they recommended new spark plugs. I knew I had just got them done at Grants and was confused on why it was being recommended. I went back to Grants and they opened the hood and showed me the dust still on the sparks plug cover. Meaning Culver Mazda had not even removed to check and was just going off their system recommendations. Don't let the dealers fool you and just take your vehicle to Grant Auto for most of your mechanical needs. read more

I brought my 1991 Jeep Cherokee here for some routine work. I was greeted by a manager and told him I have a list of work that needed to be done. I wrote it down for him and asked if the shop took care of everything on the list. The manager assured me they could take care of it, so I handed over my keys. Four days go by and I hear back from the shop. They hadn't fixed a single thing and told me they couldn't fix any of the issues on my jeep, to include A/C and other maintenance work (after assuring me they could). Huge waste of my time. Incompetence. read more

The best mechanics on the west side of LA. Have been going to Ali and Z for 7 years. They have not only fixed every issue I have had at a reasonable price that beats the competitors but also have done quick fixes without charging a dime. They have great integrity and really care about making loyal customers. There isn't anyone else in LA I trust!! read more
