Amazing service from start to finish. The team here was extremely professional, friendly, and helpful the moment I arrived. They took care of the issue quickly and efficiently, and the quality of their work was excellent. Everything was handled smoothly and with great attention, which really gave me peace of mind. read more

To be fair I did supply the parts they put on my car. Regardless the guy that worked on my car was a lame. I asked them not to let him work on my car after the second time I brought it back they said ok. But I went back down there a couple hours later and the same fucking guy was working on my car. Never again will I bring it back there. read more

See all

Typically I like to give 5 stars for a competent and honest merchant. This shop is both, part of a duo under same management. There's a lot that they do right in this shop, such as estimating the job when you arrive for your appointment, and doing that job correctly and professionally. The service advisor, Peter, is also friendly, up to speed and pleasant to deal with. Here's what's disappointing and why they fell short with me first time customer.....the team doesn't communicate with each other in the customer's best interest. In my experience, it was disappointing to learn, after they did a 3 hr labor job for me at almost $500, (no parts included) that they didn't inform me that a relatively inexpensive part needed replace that could have saved me a the same labor charge in the same area of the engine. Further, I didn't learn about it from the Service Advisor who was at lunch when I checked out of the shop. When I called later with a question it occured to me when the service advisor Peter happened to mention the same area of the engine. Had the mechanic mentioned it, the service advisor would have easily reached me by phone with the feedback to offer me the option to replace an inexpensive part with little if any extra labor charge. I'll keep searching for good auto repair that comes also with good will for the customer. read more

Robert & his team is the best! I found this place through Nextdoor & I'm so glad I came here. I initially started looking for a reputable mechanic after my dealership quoted me $900+ for an issue I doubted would be that expensive. It wasn't even a major issue & they told me my car might stop running if I didn't get it fixed right then (my car is only 5 years old!) Not shocking from a dealership but still crazy. Robert quoted me about $300 & everything has been fine. I come here for everything now, from oil changes to brakes. Super friendly & trustworthy, cannot recommend enough. read more

Fantastic mechanic. I parked here one night when they were closed to have dinner next door. When I went to leave my car wouldn't start. I was trying to get a jump- when the security camera speaker came on and told me they saw a spark from my wheel well. Turns out I had a loose battery cable to starter. I took my car here for AC service after that and they checked the whole system and filled it. No upselling no upcharges- and only billed for Freon and and hour labor. So I brought my truck here! Gave it a once over checked all the fluids, hoses belts and said all I needed was an oil change. Oil filter $14 and oil.... Anywhere else would have charged $50 for the filter. Again never tried to upsell me only did what was necessary. Pete is the Man!! Friendly trustworthy mechanics service!! Highly recommend. read more

Hermosa Auto II - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Torrance, California

Can anyone ever get too many 5 star reviews? I think not... This is a long overdue review of Hermosa Auto. Robert is AWESOME. Reminds me of old school South Bay. He runs an honest shop, really cares about his customers, does good work, and is just an all around nice guy. He's been working on our '99 Tahoe and his shop is the sole the reason its still running well today! There is no one else I would trust to work on my car. He's got my business for life. If something's going on with your car, see Robert! His team will take care of you! read more

Great Place! Robert is the main proprietor. Being going there for years with my older cars. Service here is much better compared to the sister enterprise, "Hermosa Auto I" on PCH, where I found that proprietor was a lot more arrogant and presumptuous, whereas Robert and his people are very friendly and down-to-earth. Both Hermosa Auto I and II do share their expertise with each other, so occasionally my car would be sent there by Robert, and of course his staff also brought it back to Hermosa II, so it was 'user transparent', except for the explanation of the unusual car problem and fix. Their fixes were always excellent! read more

Thank you to Robert for helping me with my Chevy Cruze! He was very patient and honest. Thank you!!

These guys are the best!!! Fair prices,professional and quick. And great service. These guys are a big help. read more

Hermosa Auto II - Theses guys are the best!!! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Torrance, California

I have my utmost respect and praise for Robert and José at Hermosa Automotive. They were recommended to me by Eco Smog. They exceeded my expectations and provided services that were truly kind. Their knowledge and efficiency in auto repairs was impressive. But their handling of patrons was indicative of high regard and respect of their customers under stress. Talk about 'good people'... I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

IT'S ALLIIVVVEEE!!! This place really is the best of the best! After having some off-road fun I had a faulty fuel pump. I went to two shops to fix AND replace it and I was still having issues starting up the engine.. I finally went to Hermosa Auto and instead of instantly assuming what the problem was, Robert said they wanted to do a detailed look around to check everything first. It turns out there was just a bad connection to the fuel pump wiring harness. Shoutout to Louis for working on the Jeep. Also thank you for checking all the fuses for me to see what I needed to replace, and then going out of your way to replace them. Everyone here is genuine and helpful beyond belief. I'm so glad I found this place- this may be Olive Garden's slogan, but when you're at Hermosa Auto, you're indeed family! read more

Hermosa Auto II - The Jeep is ALLIIVVVEEE!!! - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Torrance, California

Robert is the man! I was ready to trash my car because Lexology told me my transmission was gone! ($6,000 plus). Robert fixed my car for 25% of that. Showed me the parts, explained what he did, showed me the pictures and said bring it back if you have any issues. Car runs great...never was a transmission issue. I was so impressed that I brought my wife's car to him and again...great savings. He is honest, efficient, and personable. Take your car to Robert...you won't regret it! read more

Amazing value and quality of service. Recommend if you want to get you parts installed professionally and for a good price.

When you find a great company stick with it, I found them to be very helpful and honest , fantastic people

Very rude customer service I ask for help for a simple tire and turned me away, don't know how this place have give stars

Robert and Jose do a great service to Redondo Beach and Hermosa with their expert automotive diagnostics and repair. I have had several automobiles repaired over the last decade and each time, I was greeted with friendliness and important information that NO other mechanic could match. The South Bay needs this shop! They are honestly the only mechanics and diagnosticians that my family trusts. No matches to their honest service in the South Bay or ANYWHERE else! I trust this shop and the shop in Hermosa on PCH! Both are excellent and HONEST. read more

I took my Toyota 4 runner to Robert and was so excited and impressed with his awesome customer service. I had an issue with my charging system and AAA put a new battery put in only to find out that was not the problem. After several charges to my battery and took it to an electrical shop with no answers. Took it to Robert he was confused as well. But he didn't give up and it was like magic he found the problem. Thank you again Robert and your team I am happy as always with Hermosa Auto. read more

I highly recommend Hermosa Auto II; Robert the owner is an auto mechanic genius, he knows everything there is to know about any automobile. He gives you a detailed diagnosis of your car. He's personal and his rates are reasonable. It's refreshing to feel happy with your choice of a mechanic. Top-notch work, trustworthy, and reasonable rates. Thank you, Robert! read more

Robert is literally the most efficient, honest, and caring person. I recommend everyone I know to take their vehicle to this place. Good work and trusting place. read more

Great service I'm always having issues with my vintage ride Robert and his team are quick reliable and been fair. it's good to find professionals that know what they're doing in the city full of sharks. Thank you for all you do I know I'll be back. read more

Amazing mechanics! Every time I have to take my car in they do a great job and are so nice.

Very honest auto shop, professional, and fair prices! They thoroughly check everything. Go see Robert. read more

It's weird when you're happy that your car goes off warranty, so you can go back to your trusted mechanics. That's Hermosa, our garage of choice for 15+years. read more

This shop is honest and fair!! We usually take our vehicles to other places just out of habit, but we may reconsider! My son's Ford Truck didn't pass the SMOG check and we pretty much knew or hoped the fix would be simple. So the guy at the SMOG place told us about this shop. We took the truck there the next morning. I'm horrible with names, sorry..."the guy" promptly came out to greet us & feel out the situation with what might be awry. He even showed us a little device they use to check the sensors, or something like that. We discussed the SMOG check and produced the FAILED Smog check document. He said he could fix it & we could drive the truck for a while and then take the truck back to the Smog place for the free re-check. So, we left the truck and he said he'd let us know something later in the day. Sure enough, he called back and we agreed to have a part replaced. In a few hours after that, we got the call saying our truck was ready. He also said that the truck was taken to the SMOG place (a few blocks away) and had it tested. IT PASSED SMOG!!! We were shocked by the news & the fact that they took the time to get it done for us! He said that their original Auto Shop does SMOG checks, but this one doesn't. All in all, what quickly became a frazzling dilemma was remedied in no time at all! We thank you so much for getting the truck road ready for another SMOG year or two! We would definitely bring our cars to this shop! read more

Robert (owner ) and his staff are amazing . I have been coming here since 2015. They know their stuff and explain what needs to be done. One of the best shops I have been to here in CA. read more

I don't know if it's okay to yelp the same business twice but here goes. The first time I took my truck in, it had a serious oil leak and it needed major service after which the truck drove like new. My second equally great experience was to fix things that truly bothered me but other mechanics told me not to worry about (yes I am a silly female). For the first time in 20 of the 22 years I have owned my truck, I have air conditioning. I had clicks and ticks which are now gone, they are definitely five stars mechanics. read more

I take all my cars here. Robert is extremely honest doesn't try to upsell you anything simply tells you what the vehicle needs and leaves it up to you. The mechanics are on point some of the most skilled and knowledgeable guys I know excellent at diagnosing hard to find problems with electrical fuel systems and even drive trains, don't bother going to the dealer save 50% and go to this guy. read more

Robert and the Hermosa Automotive II team are the best. They were the kindest, sincere and most professional mechanics I have met. They stopped what they were doing to help us after our car broke down while we were headed on vacation. They had us back on the road faster than I could have imagined. I would recommended them to everyone who wants a trustworthy, reliable, kind and caring mechanic. His whole team was amazing, and we are so thankful for their hard work to get us back on the road so quickly. read more

The check engine light kept turning on and I decided to take it to the dealer for an estimate. I was told there was problem with my coolant. Got an estimate for over $900.00,..since my warranty had expired. Heard from Hermosa Automotive II and decided to get a 2nd estimate with them. One of the best decisions I ever took,...everything got resolved under half the estimate I got from the dealership. So great to find a friendly and honest automotive shop. read more

So far so good. May have found my new mechanic. Seem like decent/fair prices. Good communication. Robert and Lou were really helpful and explained what was going on with the car and the process. Also, job done quickly. Fight On! read more

Robert and his team are the best.. I have been going here for years with all my cars.. always a great experience..

I went there for the 1st time to have my car serviced for replacing A sensor on my car and they have me for life. Robert is the Mgr and I really appreciated his thoroughness in explaining everything that needed to be done. I scheduled an appointment and they got me in and replaced the sensor in no time flat. I will be taking my car there as long as it is something that they can take care of. As a senior, I find them honest and reasonable. read more

Helps my family a lot, will always go here for our car troubles. Very responsive and easy

These guys are great. They took my car to review my concerns and gave me a fair estimate. They did the work fast and well. They showed me the work the did by showing the worn and damaged parts. They even added a missing screw to my license plate! Nice touch. I felt they committed well. They are trust worthy. I would recommend them to all my friends. read more

I've been taking my two cars to them for close to the whole time they've been open. I've dealt with Robert, Jose and Louie primarily and they are always friendly, honest, fair and they do great work. I feel like I'm going to a long time, close family member. Can't say enough good things about them. read more

I am so impressed with this business! I had a burnt out headlight, the dealer was going to charge over $1000. The mechanic I normally use was going to replace the entire headlight. He kept giving me the run around. I called Hermosa Auto, spoke with Robert, who was so friendly and helpful, he got the bulb ordered, I took it in, Louie replaced it, and did a fantastic job! Bada bing bada boom, done!!! Thank you Robert and Louie! I am so grateful to find a business with such great integrity and service!!! read more

I never leave reviews but I feel compelled to in this case. I brought my car in with damage to the suspension, Robert was incredibly helpful with every step of the repairs. Got my car fixed quickly and did a phenomenal job and even went the extra mile to work within my budget at the time. Definitely recommend. read more

Love love love Hermosa Auto 2!!!! Robert is an amazing guy!! He does the best work and for great prices. He is honest and him and the guys do the best to ensure your satisfied. They don't bull shit you. My dad has been going to them for 30+ years and I have been going to them for the last 6. Love love love them!!! read more

Lou was AMAZING!! he really helped me out in a pinch. My car broke down on the way to the airport and Hermosa Auto II was the first place I was able to pull into. It was a Sunday and they weren't open but luckily Lou was there and was willing to help me out on his day off!! He fixed my car right up and let me keep my car there while I was traveling. Since I was returning on a Sunday he left the keys with the bar next door so I was able to pick up my car. Super service that seriously saved my butt. I highly recommend A+++++++ read more

This shop is the real deal and their work and customer service is excellent! I had a older vehicle with a smog issue. Robert (owner) had the car checked out and provided me with an estimate with all the details. They replaced 2 EGR parts and performed a Motor-Vac cleaning service due to carbon build up. The car passed it's smog test and result numbers looked really good. Robert took the car for it's smog test too which saved me time. I will be sure to use this shop for future repairs and services and let others know of this great business! read more
