It's apparently hit and miss at this establishment but last month I had a check engine light problem and needed it repaired to sell my vehicle. I wasn't charged a ridiculous diagnostic fee And just the amount for parts and labor.so far so good with no issues! Today I called about a rear strut job on my other vehicle and was given an extremely high quote although 1/2 price of the dealer labor rate which was about 40% higher than another local auto shop.I was hoping for a better deal so I went with the other shop.I may have talked to someone other than the owner so depending on who you talk to you may have different prices/results. read more

Very fast and good quality service. Would go to them again. Did exactly what we needed for a good price !

Called at 11am and they said they'd be available in the afternoon. Came at 2pm and was out by 2:30pm, just walked around the park across the street a little bit and it was great. Very no-nonsense shop. I just pulled in and said I called earlier about getting an oil change. He just asked for the keys and if I'd wait for it and that was it. Came back and he handed me the key and led me into the shop to pay, said he also checked the floor and brakes and everything looked good. Overheard him talking to another customer and explained what was up with her car and gave her solid advice instead of trying to upcharge her. Cheaper than it would've been to go to the dealership or a Goodyear. Will definitely come again read more

I recently went back to Kings to have my spark plugs done on my 2014 Sienna V6 along with replacement of my front struts. I usually do my own work for things like this but I just don't have time to mess with it right now. Once again I am very pleased with the work done and the honesty of the business. Mr Kings prices are very fair and he knows what he's doing. read more

Great honest work. If you're looking to be coddled with friendly customer service, go somewhere else. If you want honest straight-forward service at a fair price, come here. Tried & true for many years. They're always busy. read more

Been coming to Don for years. Oil change, brakes, and filter changes. Great prices and Don will tell you exactly what is wrong. He is so busy that he needs to turn people away. I trust his service and honesty. read more

Let be start by saying the guys at this place are nice guys . I'm sure they mean well . But the paint job they do has been awful . I got a paint job three times here because it cracked every time and relatively right away . This last time it lasted a bit longer but yet again ...it has cracked . Frustrating to no end .

I used to come here in college and it's seems to be consistent for at least 15+ years. When I moved back to town, the first place I thought of for taking care of our car was Kings. I guess I never relayed this information to my parents but they started bringing their cars here too. Pricing is reasonable, they are always quick when I'm waiting and it's just nice to be able to trust your car to them. The I never feel pressured into doing any extra work and Don lets me know if we do need something done the next time I visit. read more

Place looks like its on its last leg. Very rude. Walked in to ask for an estimate and the Man working there just shook is hand like saying no. Very disrespectful. Don't come here. They look like they will be out of business very soon. read more

I could not be happier with the customer service and the work that was done on my car! I highly recommend this shop! read more

They are my go to guys for any car issues and upkeeps! Keep up the good work. I would recommend them to everyone.

Don is as good as it gets. I come here for my oil change and any other car related problems I have. He knows me, my husband, my kids (if I'm towing them along). He's very nice and knows his stuff. I always try to get here first thing after dropping off 2/3 kids as it can get busy for oil changes. If it'll take more than an hour he'll straight up tell me and try to get me come another day. The wait area is shabby but I usually don't spend more than 20-30mins at most. If I do take it in with a long wait, I usually walk to a nearby coffee shop to kill time. read more

This has been my go-to auto shop for years. The owner is responsive and friendly....not to mention their prices are fair. I highly recommend this place! read more

So grateful for King's Auto Shop fixing my car - not just once but twice! Most recently I brought my car here when I got rear ended and they took great care of me. They were extremely communicative and helpful when it came to dealing with insurance. Beyond happy with the results. read more

I've been looking for a very reliable and dependable auto service in the Cerritos/Artesia area. My friend told me about King's Auto Repair. After my Toyota Sequoia was serviced, I said bye bye to Toyota dealership auto service and other shops. Great owner and crew. Very reasonable service fees. I also took our Prius for body repair after an accident. Very satisfied overall. They kept me updated and delivered on time. If you're looking for an honest and affordable auto service shop, this is the place. read more

I have been coming to Don King's Auto Repair for about 17 years. I can 100% tell you that it's been one of the best things I could have done. Don and his crew are talented, fair and caring. I drive from Las Vegas to have my car serviced, I depend on King's Auto to keep me on the road, Don King is one special guy. read more

I recently got in an accident and looking for a local shop to work with. As flusterred as I was with the accident, I drove to the shop not knowing what to expect, that's when I came across Ray. His demeanor was so relaxed. He was so kind, helpful, and knowledgable. I asked a million questions about the process. How long it would take? What insurance would pay for? How is the payment handled? Whom to pay the deductible to? What if there is any additional damage? He was so patient and explained the entire process to me. I learned that the industry was heavily regulated and the price is pretty much set by the insurance company. The only variable was the quality of the work, I went based on the Yelp reviews. Well, I got my car back today ahead of schedule and the work is amazing. I asked what if the paint starts to fade because I park outdoors? He said, don't worry about it, it comes with a 10yr no fade satisfaction guarantee. They went above and beyond with all the details. After disassembling my bumper, he noticed damage to the headlight. He took pictures and submitted to insurance on my behalf. He worked with suppliers to get OEM parts. Because one light was new and the other about 10yrs old. He had his guys polish the other headlight to make them match at no additional cost. I mean, you just couldn't ask for more. He didn't even have to touch it to be honest. So in conclusion, while you don't walk into a body shop everyday like you do a restaurant, you never know what you're gonna get. I found a hidden gem in Cerritos/Artesia, and I highly recommend. I see people looking for recommendations on Doctors, Chiropractors, or Contractors all the time. Now I can recommend Kings Auto Body as I actually have been there and used their service. FIVE STARS read more

My daughter's car broke down on highway 5 and the tow truck driver towed it to Kings Auto Repair. She called her boyfriend to get her and she continued on her trip. Juan and Ramon diagnosed the problem as the transmission. The car was under warranty and since my daughter was 300 miles away in the Bay Area, I (also hundreds of miles away) arranged for the car to be towed to the dealership. Ramon worked with the tow truck driver to get the car picked up and on its way, and asked for no money for diagnosing the problem, or helping the tow truck driver take the car away. You often hear about mechanics running up the bill for things you don't need. Ramon and Juan are not like that. Thank you gentlemen, for your help. You made a difficult day a lot easier. read more

I was rear ended on the freeway and took my car to King's Auto Repair and Body shop to make all the repairs. As you can see from the before and after pics, the rear bumper, rear quarter panel, rims and front end of the vehicle look brand new! I'm so happy with the quality of work and communication from the employees. Overall I'm really happy with the whole experience and recommend you go to this shop when you need service or repairs. read more

Sure, stereotypes are annoying...even more annoying when you fit one perfectly. Yes, I'm female. No, I'm not interested in car type things at all. Yes, this makes me a prime target for mechanics looking to make an extra buck. They can tell me that I need a new flux capacitor, but they got a special deal and for me it's only $800 and I'd believe them. I have no choice. Luckily, this isn't the case with King's. Don is ON it. No mumbo jumbo about nonsensical car parts, or getting a rebuilt part here or there and whatnot. Just straight up auto repair. And generally pretty quick too...although I do recommend comin' first thing in the morning to beat the crowds a bit. After many a bad experience a Jiffy Lube and EZ Lube, we even get our oil changed here regularly. Sure, it takes a bit longer, but for $25 and a job well done, it's more than worth it. read more

They are great here. Honest and fair priced. I take my car far just to get serviced here.

Very rude and unprofessional. Do not come. Came in to get a quote for a minor cosmetic repair and we were brushed off. Estimated a very high repair price and started adding a bunch of other things, as if I don't know anything about my own car. read more

Honest and best Body repair shop that you will find in Orange County. I've got into car Accident this morning on my way to work. Called AAA, and from Westminster to here was 13 miles and my membership only covers 7 miles of tow service and rest is extra charge per mile. But without a second thought I chose King's Body Shop even if it meant extra cost to tow. Owner David and Ray who works here are amazing. These guys are very funny too! My heart was sunken from unexpected accident which my Insurance didn't cover, but after talking with these guys I was feeling so much better. I probably should have paid them for a Counseling session I received. Look no further if you need Auto Body Works. read more

I came in for an estimate on my car which I scratched from a tight driveway. Ray came and helped me. After cleaning the scratches he made an honest estimate and said it's not worth fixing it. But if I really wanted to, he quoted me a very fair estimate. After he cleaned the bumper I can't hardly see the scratches and didn't charge me. I'll be going here if anything major happens. Hard to find a honest auto body who doesn't try to get every cent off of you. read more

They went above and beyond for what I asked for. I got quotes from 3 other places but kings auto gave me the best price. They are so honest and fair! I will only be going here from now on for any of my auto needs. My picture shows the quality of work that they do! read more

King's Auto Repair - Before & after! They did an awesome job! - Auto Repair Near Me - Artesia, California

My fist time with this auto shop. Don, the manager is very straight forward. Gave me an estimate on labor and that was the final cost when repair is finished. The parts cost he cannot control. Replaced the pinion assembly on my forerunner. Cheaper than the estimate given by the another shop. read more

I scratched my car badly and thought I had to replace the whole part, as there were several deep dents. King's Auto Body Shop took a look at it and said they can work on it. I was extremely surprised and amazed at how they managed to salvage and repair the dents. The quality of their work is amazing!!! I wish I could give more than five stars. See pictures attached! read more

When looking for a repair shop I look for 3 things - will they be able to diagnose the problem correctly - will they be honest and provide me transparency in the work needed without upsell (air filter replacement etc) - will the cost be competitive When a strange noise started occurring in my TL I took it to King's for a diagnosis. They were able quickly determine what the issue was (my alternator) and even took the extra steps to scope that it was indeed the issue without trying to upsell me on additional areas that may not have been the issue. Pricing was competitive and they were able to get my repairs done quickly. I would highly recommend King's for their knowledge, honesty and pricing. read more

So I came here because my bumper was stickin out on the side after someone hit me. The guy at the body shop kept asking about what insurance cover I had and what deductibles were applicable. I said I wasn't sure, but I had full coverage. The guy then thought about it for a minute and estimated $900 for a little bumper stickin out. He wanted to replace the whole bumper and paint it new and do all these other things. So I went to another body shop and they gave me a new screw and popped my bumper back in for free. I tipped him $20. This place is a rip off. read more

My son had a small accident and damaged his front fender liner. When for an estimate and David suggested he can fix it instead of ordering new liners and saved me hundreds of dollars. Appreciate the honesty and looking forward to doing business again. read more

Usually, when I advise the business' manager that I will be writing a unsatisfactory review, they care to make every attempt to listen and make things right. This wasn't the case in this situation. Ray was very hostile and used the broken record technique and did not want to listen. He quickly wanted to blame his partner Paul, which I thought was unfair, because Paul was cordial and professional. Honestly, I think they would have a thriving business if they improved their customer service skills. read more

We love Don at Kings. He's honest and runs a tight ship. We also love David too at the body shop. We have been using them for years!

My ex father in law told me about this jewel of a place. I needed my side mirror replaced. I looked on line for average cost: $900-1000 before tax and fees. I took my car for estimates and it was $650. And it was finished in one hour. Ray was very friendly and helpful. They even fixed the scratches on the door too as a service. I can't ask for a better experience. If I ever need further body work, this place would be it. read more

5/5 stars, I found my new go-to mechanics! My car was making a myriad of loud, scary noises and seemed to be on its last legs. I happened to find this place via Yelp, took it in for a diagnosis, and was given a quick and honest explanation of the issue (shoddy knuckle assembly). Their price was fair and service was extremely quick! What more could I ask for? I'll definitely be coming back for all my car-related needs and will also refer this place to all my friends and family. read more

I hate having to deal with anything related to my car. Oil changes, repairs, paint jobs, etc. Forget it. Me+cars=clueless. So, when I was looking for a new place to get an oil change, I turned to Yelp. I read nearly all of the reviews on this place and figured I'd be safe. Yelpers have yet to fail me!! I went on a Friday morning and I was met by Don, the owner. He quoted me $25 and about 15-20 mins. Someone started working on my car ASAP. I was all prepared for about an hour's wait with breakfast from home and a book. After Don quoted me, he just kind of walked away, talking on his cell phone. He didn't take my name or number. I kind of stood there for a minute and then just sauntered over to Artesia Park. I found a decent bench to sit on, munched on my banana chocolate chip muffin and started reading my chic lit. 10 mins. later, I see my car being pulled out of the garage. That was fast! I walk back over, pay, and leave. As I pay, I notice the tiny waiting room for the first time. It has about 3 chairs (I'll know to wait there next time) and a water cooler. Don is a man of few words; no friendly exchanges, he didn't even crack a smile. Well, I'm not there to chit chat so that's fine with me. I hope I never have an accident *knocks on wood* but if I do and I need repairs done, I will come see Don. Thanks, fellow Yelpers! read more

I got an oil change and left happy. Don also drilled my front license plate on my car (yeah... i've had the car for 2 years without one) and fixed a flat tire that i didnt even know i had. total cost was $35. no upselling or bullshit surpises. the service i got was pretty basic, so i cant yet recommend this to everyone i know, but i will come back based on two things - the aforementioned extras that were of no charge, and the fact that they made sure i had done the major maintenance items for 90,000 miles already. to me that showed that they know cars pretty well and knew what my car required. which is awesome because i am not good with cars in any way whatsoever, which my be obvious based on my above comment that i didnt even know i had a flat tire. during the hour long wait, i walked to the artesia public library and read a book. being in a quiet, air conditioned place full of books is def not a bad way to kill time. to get there, you walk west on south street for a block and turn right on clarkdale. another option is to hang out at the park, but there was this beetle that wouldnt leave me alone and it freaked me out. ANYWAY. the auto shop is pretty small, so if you plan to wait it out you should have a plan and wear shoes you can walk in. read more

My family has been going here for years. Mr. Kim and David have known me since before I was even able to drive! They're very honest, and I've gone to them with every car need I've ever had. A friend had a major car problem once and went to a mechanic out on the west side. The price quoted to fix it was around $800. It seemed pretty steep, so I told him to go to King's and see what they would charge. They quoted him at a much lower price, and the job they did was excellent. The service here is wonderful, and the people are awesome. Very friendly and sure to remember you the next time you come by. I highly recommend their business to everyone within the area! read more

This is the most honest and reliable auto mechanic shop in California, possible the world. Why? My friend told me they charge her $20 for an oil change, which is the same price I always pay. What the hell, I thought I was getting a family discount! I told my mom to give him a talk and have him charge me less. She slapped me and next time I saw my uncle he punched me in the stomach. And charged me $20 for an oil change. Thanks a lot King's Auto Repair! read more
