Very honest, quick, understanding, friendly! I highly recommend this place!

Wanted to share my recent experience at Lima with the yelp nation. I was having an issue with my BMW 740i, the window would not go up, so I called Chris at Lima and asked him if he knew somebody that could work on my window, he told me that they could fix it there and I could drop it off when I had the chance, I took the car in a week later, I walked into the office and asked for Chris, there was a lady at the desk and she said that Chris was not there and if there was anything that she could help me with, I told her about my issue and then asked when Chris would be back because he usually worked on my car and I was comfortable dealing with him, she told me that Chris was the office manager and that Mike her husband was the owner as well as a master mechanic and he fixed the cars at the shop, she told me that he was out too lunch but called him and told him the issue with my car, I agreed to leave my car and he would call me when he checked it out, the next day Mike called me and told me the regulator was bad and needed to be changed I agreed and he told me it would be ready the next day so I went over the following day to get my car, I was stunned when he gave me a bill for 585$, he than told me that my car had a oil leak, I told him that I was aware of that and he told me he could clean up the motor find the leak and than call me and tell me what needed to be done, so I left my car again, Mike called me the next day and told me the valve cover gaskets needed to be replaced at a cost of another 500 plus dollars, I told him to go ahead and fix it and that I would be back the following week to pick up the car, So I pick up the car Chris was there and he told me that the engine was hit hard with the power washer to make sure that there were no more leaks and everything was good, So I paid again and took my car and came home, I than jumped into my truck to run some errands, when I came out of my driveway I looked over to where my I parked the BMW and there was fluid running out of the engine bay, I parked my truck and took the BMW back to Lima, Mike was there and I showed him what was going on with the car, he determined that it was leaking the coolant, I told him that when I brought it it had no issue leaking coolant and never has, he told me to leave it and they would check it, so the following day Chris calls me to say the the radiator is leaking, I told him that it wasn't when I brought the car over and its never had a cooling issue, he told me that he asked the mechanics there if anything may have happened to the car while there and of course they said no, so now if I paid an extra 600 dollars the would replace the radiator, I told him that I was very frustrated and angry because I just spent 1200 dollars and now they wanted 600 more, he told me that he understood my reaction but that it was a coincidence, a very bad one but nonetheless a coincidence and that if I wanted him to repair it it was going to cost another 600. I told him no that I would pick it up, I did get a follow up text from Mike asking me to give them a 5 star review on google and he would give me 25 dollars off on my next service!! I replied that I felt taken advantage of with the monies that I just spent only to have it returned with an issue that it did not have when I took it in and they wanted 600 more to fix that. I haven't heard from him since. read more

WARNING! DO NOT GET YOUR VEHICLE SERVICED HERE!!!! THEY ARE NOT TRUST WORTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My boyfriend recommended this place to me because he got brakes for his TRUCK and he was only charged about $150 dollars. I agreed to go but it was the biggest mistake I made. First of all to change my brakes (on a Toyota Corolla 2012) came up to $514 dollars. I didn't understand how a car would be more expensive than a TRUCK. Chris called me and gave me the total and to be honest I didn't think much of it because I don't know a lot about cars but when I called my two brothers they were outraged by the price. Even my boyfriend said they didn't charge him that much, what the heck does your car need? At that point I called Chris back and ask him to put my car back together and get me an itemized receipt of my total so I can show my brothers exactly what was being charged. Here comes the fun part =|...... when I got to Lima's Auto I went directly to the office to pay the inspection and get my keys from Chris, well he nicely didn't charge me for the inspection (I guess thanks for that?) and just said your keys are in your car. I was a little discourage that someone would just leave your keys in the vehicle. When I approached my car all of my windows were down and the keys were just laying there in full site. That was a little upsetting BUT the part that PISSED ME OFF THE MOST was that all of my private/confidential documents (that were "in" my GLOVE COMPARTMENT FYI) were on my passenger seat! WTF? What are you guys doing going through my glove compartment? I know I said I didn't know a lot about cars but last I checked the brakes are not located inside the car or in the glove compartment! All of my paper work was out on the seat (If you want to be sneaky about it and not have your customers know you're going through their things at least put everything back where you got it from!) I'm talking my check stubs, medical records, personal contact information, tax details, ETC!!!.... how can your business be so careless with your customers information like that? I was so pissed I got out of the car and went back to Chris' office to ask WHY they had to go through my personal belongings? He was confused and acted as if he didn't know anything! I asked why are my windows ALL rolled down with the keys laying there and all of my documents on the passenger seat? He didn't know how to respond and apologized. FORGET YOUR APOLOGY CHRIS! WHAT ABOUT MY INFORMATION THAT HAS JUST BEEN DISPLAYED AND TAMPERED WITH? I was so FURIOUS I left and I called my mother because she is the owner of car and her information was also in the glove compartment. She even called Chris and asked why they went through my things and she said that Chris was very rude and nonchalant about the whole situation and just kept say "UH-HUH" over the phone and ignoring everything she was saying to him which pissed my mom off too! Since it's not YOUR information Chris you really didn't care! I need to report my social security and other information to the IRS because only God knows what personal information was stolen? This is MY IDENTITY Chris, not yours! Your incompetence has prove to me that this business is a complete failure and shouldn't have the privileged to operate! I've been advised to file a police report because to be honest I don't know if anything was stolen from my vehicle as far as personal information and I believe that will be my next step after this review, a police report! It is just very upsetting to be violated this way, you think your leaving your car in perfect hands but that was NOT the case with Lima's Auto Repair!!! Even when I got my paper work back under "Symptoms" for the reason my car was there said: "Customer states brakes are making noise. Remove all wheels and perform brake inspection." WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION?! Word of advise to anyone wanting to get their cars worked on here? DON'T! Just walk away! There are plenty of auto repair shops on every block! AVOID the hassle! JUST STOP AND THINK AGAIN!!!!! read more

These folks a great, I have used them for years. They are not the cheapest, you get what you pay for. They stand by their work always and every time. I only go there. I usually get a price not for comparison but to find out what they want for the job. They have many times given me a ride home while my car is there. They are good and fair, honest and do business with integrity. Pay no attention to the bad reviews. read more

Lima Auto is my new go to auto care service center. I was a faithful customer to Longo Toyota but was unhappy with their prices, lack of personal services and high prices. Chris and his crew are my new to go auto service care. read more

Im sorry but I was a loyal costumer for a couple years until recently. The guys that work there are cool and nice but that place is ultimately a rip off. They told me it was going to be $600 for some work done and I got another quote down the street for once because I happen to be really strapped for cash lately and wanted to investigate and the other place is only going to charge $200 instead for everything! I was astonished and I even think they have ripped me off before and I am currently trying to find my old receipts to investigate that further... The oil changes are expensive too I realized compared to other places and since its next to the collision place I think they feel they can jack up the prices without giving any other alternatives. Makes you wonder if they even care that much for their costumers... Always do your own research fyi ppl! read more

Lima auto repair come highly recommend from Carmax. I've had only great experiences from this repair shop. They are very friendly with fair prices and this shop is very trustworthy. I just started to take my wife car here now. read more

Mike and Chris are honest mechanics with an honest price. I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else

Great service and very well priced. The owner Mike is the best! They fixed my battery and did an oil change in an hour. I showed up with no appointment and they still fit me in!!! I would recommend them to anyone!! This will be our new go to shop!! read more

Took my 99 Dodge Durango here after a 6000.00 quote at another place! I tried to tell Chris all the problems I thought I knew about the truck. After a a good look over I received the call that all the excellent work will be half the price and she will be as good as new. Since the return of the truck it has never felt so good. I would recommend Lima Auto to anyone looking to get the job done right the first time and for the right price. Thanks again Lima Auto and Chris, you have gained a life long customer. read more

They are excellent at what they do. Nobody does it better. Always helpful with explanations of work they have done (or needs to be done); they have worked on several of my cars and always 100% satisfied with the results. I have recommended them to several people. Mike and Chris and the mechanics are the best in Southern California! Never will I ever take my car to a Toyota Dealership for ANY repairs. read more

I took my car here the other day because it would not start up at all. My family and I were all worried that it was going to be a huge job and that it would cost a lot of money. Thankfully, the workers here were very helpful and found the problem, which turned out to be really simple. After a week of testing it, the car works still works great so I recommend this place if you're looking for honest and good mechanics. read more

I've had my Yelp account for a while now and have not written a review up until now. But when someone saves me over $550, you know I'm going to have to write a little something about it! I recently purchased a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder and was starting to do service and maintenance to the vehicle. I purchased four new tires and went to the West Covina Firestone - Complete Auto Care Center to buy a lifetime wheel alignment service. During the alignment, I was told by the technician that I had two problems: 1) the right lower control arm had a bad bushing, hence it was unable to align correctly and 2) the technician showed me that I had an oil leak and was told it came from the engine oil pump. As a result, I ordered a lower control arm and an engine oil pump from the Nissan dealer which amounted to over $550 (as I was instructed to do in order to alleviate my car's problems). That same day, I went to have my transmission flushed at Lima Auto Repair. As I spoke to Mike Bruni, I briefly mentioned the information that was given to me by the West Covina Firestone. While Mike was performing my trans flush, he inspected those items and told me that the lower control arm bushing looked fine and that the oil leak resulted from the engine oil cooler, not the pump. He informed me that the cooler was resealable, thus making my purchases at the Nissan dealer unnecessary. I was advised by Mike to get a second opinion on my alignment so I went to a Firestone Complete Auto Care Center in Baldwin Park to have it rechecked. The technician there found nothing wrong with the bushing and the vehicle was able to align correctly. I had Lima Auto Repair reseal the engine oil cooler and thanks to Mike, I was able to return the unnecessary parts from the Nissan dealer in sufficient time for a refund. Luckily for me, Mike was professional enough to let me know what was wrong with my vehicle even though I was only taking my car for a transmission flush. I highly recommend Lima Auto Repair because they are thorough, reasonable, and trustworthy. Also, I'm so thrown aback by the way West Covina Firestone treated me that I'm not even going to bother reviewing them on Yelp but instead will call their corporate office and let them know how one of their certified service mechanics left me with an inaccurate car alignment (which was paid for) and misinformation that almost cost me over $550. read more

Talking about customer service. Stopped by 10 mins before closing asking them to check on the car. They couldn't tell you that they're closing so they make I park wait and after they move their car and approach you to say oh we're closed come back Monday. From this you can clearly see that they don't care about your car since they just wanted to close the shop and go home. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. My family and I have been going to Lima's for probably over 10 years now. My dad drives on average 200-400 miles a day and has never had issues with his car or his safety because these guys take great care of him. I drive quite a bit myself but I always feel safe in my car after it's been serviced at Limas. Super trust worthy and honest people. Mike and Chris always know exactly what's going on with my car and take care of it as fast as possible. Love it here. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a real mechanics they can rely on. read more

Dropped off my 2008 Honda CRV to replace the alternator and talked to Chris over the phone and in person. Very professional and I felt like he wasn't trying to sell me something I didn't need. The pricing was pretty decent and the job got done in a timely manner. Very happy with the service and the professionalism. I highly recommend this place and I WILL be going back for any car needs. read more

Mike & Chris always do an excellent job on our cars. Chris is super professional and personable and really knows his stuff. We wouldn't go anywhere else. This is quality service at its best! read more

Took my Plymouth Van in there for an estimate in price to change my ignition cylinder. Chris quoted me $54.00 to check it out which meant to take the cylinder out and get the estimate. I told him its the key was getting stuck where as it would not turn. I told him the previous owner told me if it happens, it may just need a spray of WD40. I relayed this to him, however, trusting him, I took it in to see about getting this fixed. Chris called me and told me it became unstuck and it turns without replacing it. I told him fine to just put it back together which included the $54.00 included. He put it together but left the cylinder out and told me to use a screw driver to turn it on, Also gave me they cylinder back in my hand and said I will need to someday replace it anyways because his mechanic to it upon himself to take a drill and drive a screw in the key hole so it became worthless. All this because I refused to pay the $699.00 he wanted to charge me for a 3hour job when the "do it yourself" video to change this on youtube took only 9 minutes.
