These guys are great. I have had a few issues on my older vehicle and they have always been professional and quick with the service. They're also very nice and it's always a positive experience. read more

Our family was referred to this shop to get an estimate on a dent/scratch from an accident on our 2001 Volvo. We have communicated with the owner prior to repair that we will not be repairing this car as it is old and had a lot of issues besides the minor damage from the accident. However, the shop owner proceeded to repair the car without consulting with us and getting our authorization nor providing a cost estimate on the repairs for us to even review prior to repairing the car. They proceeded to bill a total of over $3,000 demanding payment. A shop owner deciding to repair an old car that costs over $3,000 to repair which exceeds the car value which is less than $1,000 is extremely unprofessional and almost feels like a scam. It's like taking your car to get an oil change and them repairing a bunch of unnecessary crap without asking first and demanding payment. This shop will scam you to milk the most out of their customers so I wanted to make sure others know to avoid this shop and their scams! read more

It's always hard to get yourself "established" in a new city; figure out where to find your regular grocery store, haircutter, gas station, and autoshop. Auto services is always tricky, you always hear stories of unscrupulous shops taking customers for a ride, pun intended. Andy is a straight-shooter. I brought in my car for an oil change and potentially for brake pad replacement. Even on the phone when I called about setting an appointment (walk-in was fine on a Wednesday), he took the time to explain the potential reasons for why my brakes could be squeaking. He told me the prices up front (which when I paid, already included all costs including taxes). Brought the car in and he did his stuff. He informed me my brakes were at 60% (when someone else could've have told me they needed replacement, along with the rotors, and I would have believed them!). He pointed out some other areas of concern, explained what could be going on, then laid out all the options I could take. He allowed me to make a more informed decision, which is great when cars can be a daunting part of life for people. I intend to go back for my future car needs. I can mark "find an honest autoshop" off my list to settle into LA. It's nice to not have to spend time worrying and shopping around and spend more time... in traffic. Note: Google Maps will slightly mislead you when you're using it to navigate. You'll want to enter the lot from S Kingsley. I've submitted a correction on Google Maps. read more

Totally ripped off money. Lack of skills and customer service. The owner left the window open for a couple of days and got dirty everywhere inside. Have same problem after they fixed. The owner was nice before I paid but after that not good at all. The only thing you can from here is 'hi-price' everything else is low. Definitely not recommended. read more

Last night, my engine light went blinking so I went to Hi Tech (saw the great reviews). Transmission gear was not changing. Andy said it may just need a transmission oil change. Damn Jiffy Lube, I was just there yesterday and they didn't change it like it said it on the code. Well, I'm coming here for future oil changes from now on. read more

Recently went to get an oil change done. They went above and beyond to service my vehicle and answered any questions I had. Excellent customer service Scott was extremely helpful. Will be returning! read more

Let's be upfront about one thing. I don't trust mechanics. Yesterday was the first time I met Andy for an oil change and from the way he speaks and carry himself I can just tell that he was an honest person. He didn't give off that car salesman vibe or tried to sell me anything I didn't need. I trust him. But I know that you are not here to read about my intuitive sixth sense, so let me break down how my experience went. -He was straight forward with what the car needed, both immediately and in the long run. -The issues that we brought up regarding the car, he gave his professional advice and feedback without trying to sell anything to us. -He didn't try to give me different quotes or change his words about the service once we went in which I have experienced in the past. -He took his time to explain to us, different parts and its functions and kindly and patiently answered any questions we had even though it may have seemed tedious to go over every single one. -He gave the car a quick visual check up without charge. Some places will try to charge for just looking at the car! -He had a pleasant smile on his face with great customer service and him and Pedro ( the other mechanic) are both bilingual. English/Korean and English/Spanish which is always great. My husband and I left so happy and pleased with the service that we are going to come back here for all the help that our car is going to need. We feel like we have found THE mechanic that we are satisfied with and definitely will recommend this place to others. ***OH! and I called a bunch of auto shops before coming in and this place had cheapest rates and nicest customer service in comparison to others.*** read more

I came here last time for an oil change because of the great reviews and I was in the area. I need another oil change and didn't know where else to go, so drove all the way here from Glendale/Glassell Park passing up so many other oil change shops. I remembered the price was competitive here too. Anyways, I also may need brakes pads changed as well because they squeak wherever I brake. Andy said that the squeak may just be from the brake pads' dust and may not need new brakes. He said he would check to see if my brake pads are still good though, that way I wouldn't need to replace them if I didn't need to. I admire Andy for his honesty. This is why I wouldn't mind driving a bit further for a place that do honest work. Most other places would have just taken advantage of my naivety. read more

I would throw 5 stars to this place especially for the Manager, Andy! He actually gets underneath the car and is not a typical manager type bossy guy. They been working on our cars since 2007 and never failed me for wrong-doing, once i had to come back for the SES light, he covered the faulty replacement part for free. The mechanic is very knowledgeable and polite, the work is always quick and accurate. I recommend anyone around me to visit this guy, they are always happy when they get the services done from HiTech. read more

Super fast and friendly. One of the only DMV CERTIFIED BRAKES AND LIGHTS CERTIFICATION CENTERS in the Venice beach/ culver area. Called about 30 places on the dmv website before finding someone who actually does what I needed, which is a certified inspection of a totaled title vehicle for registration in CA. Total was $80 including $20 for readjustment of my left front light. It was a Wednesday afternoon afternoon round 4pm and they were done within 20 min or less. read more

This place is great! Very professional. Andy is a great guy and he explains everything so you can understand. I recommend anyone looking to keep their cars maintained. read more

Went 2 days ago , apparently Andy ( the only guy who was certified in doing the brake and light certification apparently ) doesn't work there anymore , so they DONT do Brake and Light Certificates anymore . Huge bummer read more

I meant to write this review a month ago but alas I spaced and cant remember the guys name who helped me. Nevertheless, I was so happy leaving this place. This is my first oil change in LA in which I didnt not feel cheated. He recommended a new oil filter but said I could wait until next time...I will never go to another shop for an oil change. Service was fast friendly and efficient, lost one star because the waiting area was a little rough, but that wont stop me from returning...Highly recommend! read more

I usually come here to get my car an oil change. They only charge $20 for a conventional oil change, but since my car takes full synthetic only and I got lazy, I bring my car here now for oil changes. I brought my Subaru here and also recently brough my friend's BMW here. The last time I came here was last week ans Andy was was very helpful and provided me with excellent customer service. I'd definitely come back! BTW, this place is kind of hidden behind Kim's Auto Body Shop, so just look for teh body shop and pull in to the back an you'll see it. Kim's is also a great body shop that offers very reasonable rates! read more

I came here when I was having trouble passing smog. Andy helped me at no cost figure out what was going on and took the time to explain. He taught me how to reset the battery myself, and let me keep my car there overnight. Thanks Andy!! read more

Came here for an oil change and Andy seem really friendly. I noticed a piece of metal that came loose from the bottom of my car. Andy actually fixed it and my car doesn't rattle anymore. Overall pretty good service read more

First time writing review.. or anything since high school. Besides an excellent service, Andy's honesty made me a loyal customer for past 4 years. Couple years ago I moved to a suburbs. tried different shops near where I live.OVER CHARGES, RUDE SERVICE, VERY VERY Sssslowwww...OMG Anyways I'm back Andy and I won't leave you again. read more

I always come here for my oil changes and been years! They not just change your oil but do checks on car and always let me know if my tires going bad, my breaks and filters etc. Super friendly, they explain in words that I would understand when they talk about things I need to get fix, or any question that I have on my car. Never pushes me to get something done, explains very well how this can affect the car. read more

other places quote me high prices ! booo. I've gone here a few times now and he is the only mechanic that seems to be honest about his prices and fix ups I'll need. The few other places around town I've gone to for oil change have all told me i need to change my tires ASAP . right. this. moment. He's the only one who told me I should get them changed soon - probably within the few months - this is parallel to with what my car-obsessed friends have told me. Thanks for not ripping me off! read more

Andy is the best. He is friendly, honest, and does such a great job. I am 100% happy that I can bring my car to a reliable place without feeling skeptical. I love the service here. read more

I called these guys on a Sunday and they drove to my house in Silverlake to look at my car! Talk about service! Very knowledgable and helpful! I would recommend them to ANYONE! Thanks so much! read more

I went here yesterday, for an mechanic check and oil change for my new used car. I was recommended by a friend to come here. Andy is a very nice guy and would like to explain me everything since I don't really know cars very well. And compare to other stores, I think I got very reasonable price here, and I would love to come here again for maintenance. read more
