Amsoil is one of the best synthetic oils you can get for your car. It costs a bit more. But it's…read morerated highly in motor oil tests. The problem is there are very few places that use it in oil changes. And I looked. I found South Bay Auto Care on the Amsoil website. It's near my work. I'm at the end of my engine break in on my new car and wanted to use Amsoil. I called them and they let me drop off the car to get the oil change. Not only did they do it quicker then they thought, the price was very similar to what i've paid at quick lube places for synthetic oil that was not as good as Amsoil.. The mechanics here feel honest and they did a good job for me. This will be my oil place. I'll try them for other things I need that aren't covered by the warranty too. Very positive experience.

My experience with JMC BMW Automotive was outstanding, transparent, and exceptionally fast! Manny,…read morethe owner, is simply a Wizard. I have an X3, he made certain to take it out of the danger zone and into safety. The JMC BMW Crew worked their magic and I am very appreciative and grateful of their stellar service! Manny is down to earth, caring, and super funny! I like that he values correspondence and takes the time to prioritize what is emergent versus urgent versus 'can be done later down the line' if you are strapped financially. I did not feel pressured, I felt he could feel my anxiety related with the troubles of my car and took the time to walk me through the safety issues of my car. He patiently listened to my description of issues, swiftly identified the major problems, then calculated the likely costs. It was pleasant to speak with Manny. Upon retrieving my car after all of the requested work was finished, may I also add that it was completed lightning fast, he popped the hood open to reveal a sight that would make any mechanic squeal with delight... it looked amazing! My car is now safe and runs smoothly like a dream. I had the following accomplished on my car: - oil + filter changed - oil valve cover replaced - radiator replaced - valvetronic actuator replaced - brake pads/sensors replaced - brake fluid flushed - windshield pump replaced I thank you, Manny and your quality crew! It is difficult, I feel, to find a trusted mechanic that is passionate and compassionate, understanding, and has a highly skilled team which specializes in BMW's. I look forwards to maintenance of my X3 with Manny at JMC BMW Automotive.

I took my '78 SS El Camino to Liebsack & Son Auto Services in Gardena to have it smogged and to get…read moresome repair work done. Steve, Rachel, and the whole team are very accommodating. They do a great job communicating and telling you straight up what the issue is, and they kept me in the loop on progress through every step, which I really appreciated. They were upfront about costs and asked before doing any work, and they were not pushy about extra work like some other auto shops these days. Nothing like coming in for a smog check and having the mechanic try to sell you on five other things that are supposedly wrong. This team is upfront and will work with you on what's a must do now versus what can be held off for later. I brought my car in on a tow truck and they had a spot ready when we got there, and helped guide the driver right where it needed to go. They made quick work of the diagnostic and repair work, and again were 100% upfront on what was going on and what it would cost me. These days it's hard to find a shop willing to work on classic cars. A lot of mechanics now just want to plug in a cable and let a computer tell them what to fix. I also love that this is a generational, family-run shop. You don't see that much anymore, and I like supporting a local business like this. I'll admit I'm still learning the quirks of my classic car, and the team has been genuinely supportive about teaching me things along the way. I had an experience at another mechanic when I first inherited the car where the owner and his team gave me this shaming impression, like I was supposed to know everything my grandfather knew about it. It was intimidating, and it's exactly why I appreciate Liebsack & Son. I never got any of that here. On top of everything, they're great with my grandmother when she comes in for her smog check. She's had nothing but high praise for how they treat her. I'll be bringing all my cars here going forward for smog checks and repair work. They make you feel like family and genuinely care about your time and your property. Thank you again to Steve, Rachel, and the whole team.

Rick and his team are always clear, concise, and professional. They streamline the process, communicate well, and never make you feel pressured or dragged through unnecessary back-and-forth. They pay attention to detail, explain things in a way that makes sense, and most importantly -- they get the job done right. Whether it's routine maintenance, unexpected repairs, or a major issue that needs immediate attention, they handle it with confidence and professionalism. The environment is relaxed, honest, and trustworthy -- something that's hard to find these days in automotive repair. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their work and their customers. If you're looking for a dependable mechanic shop that knows what they're doing and treats people right, I highly recommend Rick's Automotive Service, Inc.

I hope Rick has a good attorney! We pull into the shop and…read morehe's literally working on my car and we could see him before we turned into the driveway. I truly came being open, honest, and calm...he immediately skips pleasantries and just like other reviews mention, he was so upset about my review. He takes us to the car and blames me, talks down to me, mansplains to me about the amount of oil in my car! I checked it 3 times before it went to his lil shop and so did my boyfriend and there was hardly any oil on the dipstick! He checks the oil in front of us and there's suddenly a generous amount on the dipstick and he claimed to not have touched it! We literally saw you all up under the hood Rick! Are you okay?? With your handkerchief in hand...like please...just...stop. I kept my composure still and let him make a case for me. He hauls up my Mustang and her starter was just hanging down from the car! I immediately ask what that's about and he's like "oh I wanted you to see it". It's covered in oil and looks horrible and I doubt it the brightest idea to be lifting my car up and down like his personal elevator with the starter hanging like that! Is this some secret horror reality show?? Am I being punked? Is he Ashton Kutcher in disguise? Like this is madness and it gets worse! So there's a bunch of oil all over the undercarriage dripping still! It only took 3 trips for them to finally say there's a rear main seal leak!! $1,500! I ask for an estimate on the starter and he said it's totally fine! how?? I'm literally fighting back tears and ask him why he didn't he listen to what me and my boyfriend said about this exact leak from day 1?? He then gets so defensive and condescending to me and my poor mother! He blamed my mom after I had to take a moment aside to not lose my sh**. He gets on my mom, "what did you say to her??" All aggressive. He literally watched me walk away from where the three of us were standing! Why would he ask her that when he was standing right there and I walked away? When did she have a chance to "say something" to me? At this point we both are feeling uncomfortable and honestly unsafe with how he was acting. Car had issues on my way home. Mind you Rick said my car is safe to drive! He also told my mom that he has lots of other customers who are driving around all the time with oil leaks! But are they asthmatics with serious health problems breathing in emissions that could cause long term damage to them, the public, and the environment? I truly hope not. That's so dangerous. Rick calls me as I'm driving home to say something about him talking to his tech about the undercarriage and I asked to clarify if it was cleaned off at all or not and he said no so I hung up on him. He kept calling me and I didn't answer, I just was so disturbed by all this. He then sends 2 texts that contradict each other and don't even make sense! He also says he doesn't know 100% if there a rear seal oil leak!!! The next morning then claims there is a leak! I'll attach these texts. He also called my boyfriend who has no ownership over my car that I own the title to! What do they call men who disrespect women and force their will on them by not respecting clear boundaries of not wanting to communicate when I hung up on him?? Rick will do anything to avoid taking accountability for ANYTHING, he shifts blame on to customers, is defensive, aggressive, dishonest, gaslights, and as you see in the texts plays the victim. Classic traits of a narcissist so he definitely will not be able to prioritize the well being of his own business by taking care of his customers. I wish I had read these reviews before taking my car here. I will be making more reviews anywhere I can to warn people and I will update this again after my car is thoroughly inspected by an actual expert this week and further action started being taken before my car even left Rick's shop. My bf and inspected the car after all that and he went and cleaned the fresh pools of oils all over the transmission and above the starter. For my specific vehicle, a brake vacuum pump is the number one cause for oil in the starter and rear main seal leak is the last our 4 main causes for that happening. He only cleaned where the oil STILL leaking would be their fault from a poor repair and the timeline of new symptoms match that as well. He lied repeatedly and so defensively about not seeing the oil in those areas I mentioned and he even cleaned that all up! Then lied about cleaning it up! My bf and I found a chunk of wood lodged in to the exact part he wanted to over charge me on! I sent him a picture of it too and he conveniently didn't acknowledge it. Was that because you get so bitter about reviews Rick? Did you want to cause my car to have problems and put my safety in danger? It's so apparent in your loooong review responses to any bit of criticism or dissatisfied customers, hearing the uncomfortable truths bothers you. Just not enough to actually change sadly.
