Dave was great, fixed my brakes and showed me the worn out parts he replaced, which I always appreciate. My brakes are no longer crunchy! Thanks, Dave! read more

best mechanic ever! see dave! for all your car needs lobe this shop been going here for almost 20 years

Dave at High Tech has been my consistent mechanic for over 10 years. He is professional, affordable and honest. I am devastated the entire complex has been bought out by a weed grow and everyone has evacuated!!!! Dave has to be out by December 2022. Does anyone know of an automotive rental for Dave that has room for several car ports. He is a fixture, a place where you can take your car instead of going to dealers to get ripped off. Lets come together as a community and find a permanent location for this very much needed community mechanic who has kept so many of us from going bankrupt with the dealer prices!!!! read more

David moved farther away from where I live but I continue to take my cars to him. He's the most reliable and honest mechanic in Los Angeles. He really enjoys helping people and is beyond kind. I highly recommend High Tech Auto. read more

Following up: months later... As always, David is ever helpful and honest with his work. He's happy to take a quick look at little issues and helps you find answers. He's become my go to in NoHo! Thanks, David! read more

Been going to these guys for over 20 years... Dave is a good honest mechanic... that combination is not easy to find... They did just change locations, but still the same service!! read more

David Azran, the owner of High Tech Automotive in NoHo, has been our go-to guy for our 2002 VW Eurovan camper ever since we moved to SoCal 8 years ago. He always does top quality work, and we trust him totally. We know if he says it needs it, it really needs it. Cannot recommend David highly enough. We sure will miss him when we move back east! read more

David is the MAN. Knows his stuff for sure! Always takes care of his customers. Even helps to decide which car to buy over the phone what a service! Always nice i mean Always. Highly recommend my man David read more

There is only one star here because there was no lower way to rate this con artist. I would regurgitate my experience in order to hopefully reach out and WARN someone, at least one person of this "Repair" shop, but I really dont even want to feed this slim ball anymore energy. so, just as a small sample of what this money grubbing coward put me through, here is an excerpt from one of the emails that went back and forth while he held my car hostage damaging it more than he fixed it. Dear Dave: The car needs to be fixed to the standard for which you were already paid. We are asking for you to fix the shoddy work you did, according to YOUR guarantee. You guaranteed quality work, we want that quality and without question the vehicle needs to be safe to drive! The estimate you did months ago, that the insurance company approved, is the issue you are now trying to argue. If YOU underestimated the cost of repair, or were unable to get the correct part you should have immediately contacted the insurance company THEN. It is too late now. They have washed their hands of it and since you are not a shop they guarantee the work of, we are relying on YOUR guarantee. Of course if you increased the original estimate the car would have been totaled and you would have been out the repair job. Certainly makes us question your motive. Instead of contacting the insurance company YOU bought and installed the INCORRECT bumper. Instead of contacting the insurance company you didn't properly repair the frame leaving the vehicle in an unsafe condition. Installing the incorrect bumper made the rest of the replacement parts fit incorrectly, which are now falling off and cracking. The rest of the body parts and headlamp etc., are hardly "quality used parts" I don't think a part with bondo on it is quality, and certainly not what an insurance company would approve. Not to mention hardly what most body shops would call "quality". His response was that he needed more money.... its a long story... I would be happy to share my BAR complaint against this "repair" shop if anyones interested please let me know. read more

I came here to get light bulbs in my headlights replaced. 1. They told me it would take 30-45min. It ended up taking 4 hours. *Side note* I had a crack in my bumper fixed a month ago by another body shop, who I gave 5 stars for a great job. 2. When they removed my bumper to replace the headlights they cracked the bumper, the one that was fixed a month before. 3. David, the "owner", admitted fault, but said the person who fixed the crack did a bad job. He had no remorse of what he and his team did. 4. I've reported him and his business to the BBB. read more

High Tech Automotive Center - They cracked my bumper! - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was referred to this place by a few of my friends who have been coming here for years. David has a good work ethic and is overall a nice person. Just changed my car starter and it was ready in a couple hours. It also comes with a year warranty. I have been coming here for my previous cars as well. I highly recommend to come here as there are not many places that are honest. It's good to call and make an appointment early so they can get the parts necessary quickly. Thank you David ! read more

I wouldn't give my car to anyone but David. He has been kind and honest with me for many years. He is overqualified and honest with his work. it is why I keep coming back to his shop year after year. read more

David is the best! He got my car in and out with a great alignment. Super nice guy and very knowledgeable. I was impressed by him and his customer service. He was really fast and took his time getting the job done. read more

David is the BEST!!! He is fair. Has great customer service. Great price! Happy with his work on my car! Very lucky to have found him. Thank you David!!! read more

I've been coming to this place for a few tears and would've continued coming if I wasn't moving to another state soon. David and all the guys there are super nice and will always try to help. They respect people's time and money. I trust them entirely and would suggest to anyone. It's hard for a woman to find car shop that doesn't try to take advantage of us. I could go on praising them for hours! read more

A friend referred me to David about 5 years ago and I've been going to him ever since. He's one of the rare mechanics who actually has your back and it makes a HUGE difference in every aspect of getting your car repaired. You can trust him to tell you exactly what needs to be done and if possible, he will also give you different options for going about it. One example, is when I accidentally drove over a median and the car seemed damaged beyond repair - I could barely drive it to his shop! Not only did he repair the car, he also ended up saving me thousands of dollars by welding the bent parts back straight rather than having me pay for all new parts. That was about 3 years ago and the car has been driving perfect ever since. A more recent example was when my car started making a horrible scraping noise whenever it was idling. David quickly assessed where the noise was coming from and tested all the individual components so all I had to do was replace one part rather than the entire AC system. Again, he totally solved the problem and saved me lots of money. Whether its just an oil change or a major repair, David is the guy you want to go to. He knows his stuff, he works fast and truly puts his customers first! read more

The ad is a bait and switch! The smog check is NOT $35 as the Yelp ads says so your total cost does not come down to $30. It's apparently an old price, and the business "forgot" to update... The actual price is $40. The technician was helpful and nice so that gave the place the extra star. I recommend everyone to call ahead to confirm the price before dropping by based on Yelp ad. read more

Was in Los Angeles visiting a friend and her car broke down. Thankfully, I was able to contact Dave. He gave us a fair estimate, explained things to us like we were human beings (and not idiots, although we are ignorant to cars). The service was timely and spot on. And this review is actually a few months after the event occurred. Checked on my friend and her car is running great! Dave, thank you! read more

I have been going to Dave as my auto mechanic for almost ten years. He is fair, he has never screwed me over on the price, he's ethical and a damned nice guy to boot. I have turned many friends onto him as their go-to guy for any type of auto service, from engine rebuilds, paint jobs and alignment issues to replacing a rear-view mirror. Dave and his crew are always professional and never try to over-charge. This is as good of a shop as you'll ever find in Los Angeles. The previous reviewer got a lot of things wrong, IMHO. I've trusted High Tech with my vehicles for a long time. Dave is an honest and fair mechanic who runs a clean business. I would send anyone to him, hands down. read more

This has to worst place I been to have service and smog . Dave while very nice, is unorganized. He said come back at 11. I was back at 10:45. At 11 AM or a few minutes after he took somebody else who arrived after I did. Several times I brought my car in for the same repair. Hundreds of dollars and he couldn't figure the codes out on my vehicle. My classic car got all scratched up and didn't even get s sorry when I pointed it out. Different mechanics every time I went. I won't be going back there. read more

I have now come to High Tech Auto twice and both experiences were wonderful! The owner Dave, and the entire staff, were very friendly and helpful. They were pretty busy, but fit me in quickly and Dave kept me updated as they worked. High Tech took care of me both times I was there and for a fair price. It's the best repair shop experience I've had in the area and I'm thankful to have found such a good shop! read more

Extremely impressed with the service at this place. We were greeted very happily by Rudy who was working at the desk when we arrived. He was very honest with us when our ignorance of car car showed about natural vs synthetic oil. Also, I left my phone in the car like an idiot and - it always speaks measures when you can trust things not to disappear. Wonderful work! We will definitely be using them again. read more

One of the worst smog check stations I've ever been to!!! First of all this guy comes in 30 minutes late then what they say when they open. Then this guy charges me more than what they advertise for because he felt like it, and told me if I don't like it go somewhere else. I almost punched this guy in the face. This place has false advertisement, and bull sh*t service. Never again. Worst service EVER!!! read more

Dave is a life saver! I cant begin to list all the problems I've had with my car, its just been bad luck! But as soon as something goes wrong i bring it to Dave. I know he will always make time to help me out, he knows I am on a budget and gives me the best price than any over mechanic. Trust me I've gotten quotes else where its a joke. Sometimes i do have to wait a few hours but it is totally worth it, I've never had any problems with anything that he has fixed. He is a very busy man so i def suggest calling ahead to let him know you're coming in. He stands by his work and it comes with a one year guarantee. For anyone that needs a quick fix it job or full on body work on a budget this is the place to go. read more

Really Hard to find a Good Mechanic these days! I was in LA visiting friends for two weeks and had the misfortune to have my car break down. Dave helped me out with a really fair price, and extremely fast service. I would recommend this guy to anyone. Thanks Dave! read more

I've been here 3 times and i'm so thrilled that I found a place I can trust. Dave is the best...good prices, fast, and he doesn't try to talk you into things that aren't necessary. This is my go to spot for all of my auto probs! read more

i needed a "star certified" smog for older than 2000 year car. i asked for a quote: total final out the door price with etf certificate after coupon / discounts. cannot do star smog response: fast quote within minutes! auto service: unknown customer service: unknown read more

Had brake problems in Aug 2010 and Dave had my brakes fixed in no time, Highly recommend! You da man Dave!

Great service, fair prices, and they always find time to fit me in quickly even seemingly at the last minute. Absolutely my go to!

Dave is our trusted family mechanic- We have had no negative experiences with him. There are always difficult people that businesses deal with- it is a shame that they are given so much power to besmirch someone's name. read more

This is THE BEST car repair shop I've used. Fair prices and an honest man running it. You can trust Dave with your car, your children and your power of attorney! I go here whenever I need something on my car looked at and you should too! read more

This place is pathetic!!! First of all the owner has a poor latino guy slaving away while the owner seems to hang out smoking his cigarettes all day. They ruined my AC more than when i took it in. i had to go twice to address the problem and still left me with a shot system!!! Owner never called me to give me updates about the car and i had to call all the time to get updates. First and last time i will take there. read more

The owner is literally nuts! Rude, disorganized, ....completed work that didn't appear to need to be done. Called me names, mimicked me, said unbelievably mean things.....anything to attack the customer so not to take personal responsibility for his poor service. I would absolutely not put yourself in his vicinity! **gave a positive review in 1.15 at his request & the job was done well and through insurance. This current work was not paid via insurance and was a totally different experience. read more

I come here for all car repairs and services. The owner David has proven himself to be trustworthy and what separates himself from other mechanics is he will explain the problems with your car and will even show you in the garage. He will give you a breakdown of what each part and labor will cost so there is 100% clarification. The pricing is very reasonable compared to other hack auto repair shops in the area. read more

My wife needed a brake and light inspection certificate for the dmv , searched all over the Internet for a good place , searched all over Google maps , and then I finally tried yelp , after so many over priced shops and so many bad reviews I've read I found this place , GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE , REALLY FAST AND GREAT PRICES ! At $65 for both brake and light inspection certificates , it passed !! Dave is really nice and honest ! Thanks David !! read more

The guy David who runs this business is extremely rude. The business is disorganized and doesn't inspire confidence. Do not go here, try someone else. There are plenty of other options in the area. read more

As someone who likes to keep his car for 10 years or more I am happy that I found High Tech years ago. Dave and his crew take really good care of my old Volvo. They do a great job at reasonable prices in the time they tell you it will take. There are many mechanics closer to where I live but I gladly go a bit further to get the service Dave offers here. Highly recommend. read more

Not the most glamorous place or neighborhood, but I am really really impressed with this place. My first smog test failed, and Dave was great with fixing the issue and informing me of what I need to do in order to pass. He genuinely cares about his business and I would absolutely come back if my car has any other issues. read more

David is very nice and very fair. I appreciate that he's honest about what I need to do now and what must wait. All his staff is nice too. I think Mak F. (review from 4/15) confused David/High Tech with the ironically named Quicky Lube, which is in the same complex. They're dreadfully slow. It was while waiting for my smog last year that I found High Tech. I was waiting on my service and came over to ask about a problem with my door. I then became a permanent customer after the nonsense at German Car Service on Pontius. They used to be a great shop but it's really gone downhill. Shady. Avoid! Go to High Tech Auto instead. read more
