I used to come here when it was cars automotive. Now that they have changed over to Lucky's I brought my Mercedes G63 in for service. They did my 60k service for $500 cheaper than the dealership. I will for sure come back. Ernie and Aaron are so nice. I also like how clean the shop is. read more

I really loved how the owner here accommodated me. He gave me a complete diagnosis on my car and everything that needs fixing and in order by urgency. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who needs car services done. He's also really fast at his job and very attentive. read more

I typically don't give much thought to the people who work on my car. Not because I don't care about my vehicles but because in my experience the people working on them aren't the friendliest, short and the experience is very transactional. At Lucky's it was completely different. Not only did this crew do an incredible job taking care of my cars needs (oil change, tire rotation, brakes) , they also were also some of the kindest group of guys I've ever met. Friendly, helpful AND efficient. I know they've only been in business for a year but it feels like the type of place people have been going to for generations. 10 outa 10! read more

I went to Lucky's Auto Care in Redondo Beach for a smog test, and I'm so glad I did! They kindly filled my wiper fluid for free and gave me helpful advice about my car. Everyone there was friendly, generous, and professional. The shop is nice and clean, and having free Wi-Fi while waiting was a big plus. They even offer complimentary water, coffee, or tea, which made the experience extra comfortable. I was so impressed that I came back the next day for a free diagnostic to make sure everything was okay. I'm really happy I found such a trustworthy and convenient auto shop right on my way to work. Highly recommended! read more

Dont tell them you need it in a rush will bend you over a barrel. Told me originally it would be tops 700 then called me an hour and half later on my only day off they wanted 1050$ Just to change my two battery's. Had i had more time I would have went somewhere else. I spoke to the gentleman who referred me there and he was disappointed at what they did for me. Oh well. They got job done but definitely would not go back when someone tells me a price and maximum it can be I don't expect them to come back at 40% higher an hour and half later. Better options available. read more

The owner and ernie are freaking amazing love taking my car to these guys they always take care of me and never have i left disappointed customer service is top notch good prices and don't take advantage either. read more

I went to Lucky's because i needed to fix my brakes. They were so accommodating and helpful. It's so nice to know this shop exists! Thank you Ernie and Tom read more

The guys at Lucky are personable friendly and professionals at their craft. They squeezed me in last minute and customized the service for my needs and were very accomodating. Highly recommend this shop for your automitive needs. read more

I recently took my Lexus 2007 in for a laundry list of issues, and Ernie was so helpful and attentive. He kept me informed the whole time on what was happening with the car, what needed to be done, and I received my car in a timely manner. Needless to say i highly recommend them as a trusted mechanical shop.. read more

I posted a negative review about the experience we had here. However, I need to update my review based on the experience I have had . The new Manager, Aaron and owner , Tom, have made every effort to Make things right. They are working very hard to do everything possible to fix the situation. They are rebuilding this business, and have hired an exceptional, new team to lead their vision of great service. Thank you, Aaron and Tom for wanting to Make things right. read more

Excellent service from the NEW owners at Cars Automotive. We at the Spa Service Center are happy to continue our long standing patronage for repairs on all our vehicles with the new owners. Thank you Cars for servicing our vehicles quickly so we can get back to work. read more

I took my Audi A4 here and had some brake work done at a very reasonable price (considering they only use OE parts and offer a 2 year warranty). Aaron was super helpful and communication from their entire team was great all around. Will be returning here for any future work. read more

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Our truck broke down while driving and this place was the closest place for AAA to tow it to on a Friday evening. Had to leave the truck overnight there so they can run diagnostic the next morning. The next morning they quoted us for $2300k+ which I thought was very excessive so I called and immediately they wanted to give $500 off for no reason which made me even more skeptical. They wanted to replace a bunch of things that my truck really didn't need so I got another quote from a mobile mechanic which quoted me for $400 including parts and labor. Lucky's Auto Care charged me $206 just for parking the truck overnight and for running a diagnostics test which I feel is very excessive for absolutely nothing. $206 for parking and plugging in a machine. I went with the mobile mechanic instead and my truck is now up and running and it only took the mobile mechanic 2 hrs from start to finish. So Lucky's Auto Care was trying to charge $2300+ for a $400 job. DON'T COME HERE, THEY WILL TRY TO RIP YOU OFF!!! read more

These guys are great. They installed a towhitch for my 2023 Ford Mustang Mach E, it looks great!

I took in my '70 Chevelle to have some engine work and upgrades done. Chad was very helpful and walked me through the options and how best to work within my budget. Donald did the work and I was very relieved to learn about their combined experience they have working on classic cars. We got everything dialed in and came up with a plan for future projects which is just what I was hoping for. read more

My experience here was alright but the business is a business and they need to make their money. My spouse came here from finding google reviews. They did a thorough diagnostic which he was pleased with . We got a list of what all needed fixed. I contacted my family mechanic which is always a better deal and wanted him to take a look at the findings. We also took it to auto zone twice and ran the codes before and after taking it to this place. My beater car has two catalytic converters a front and a back one. Ran codes on it and the code showed that we only need the front one. I'm overall pretty glad we didn't get the work done here because I was quoted to get both the front and the back catalytic converters replaced which actually wasn't needed along with the o2 sensor which also wasn't needed. I got quoted for that alone $4,700! My family mechanic will be the one fixing my car instead for $2860 with labor which is pretty good considering he's also had his shop running for over 40 years in Anaheim . I'm sure this place is good and they have to make their money; but I would have appreciated a more honest quote to only get done what was necessary and not anything extra. If they give me an honest diagnostic next time I will try working with them. Thanks anyway! read more

Located near Rods burgers I walked over and had a delicious breakfast burrito. By the time I walked back my car was done. read more

So I had to take my car to get a smog check. Calling to make an appointment was easy, when I pulled in someone came out to greet me. There's one building where you go to check in and do all your paperwork (very clean, hand sanitizer everywhere) and then you're directed to another building across the way to wait. Since it's during Covid I was the only person waiting and here's my favorite ....they have snacks and wifi!!! Very professional group of people, quick service. There's a discount for AAA members however the pricing still came out to be the same as this other place that I use to go to in Manhattan Beach that's closer to my house. So I don't know if this means without the discount this place is more expensive or if both places just give you the discount (I never had to use my AAA at the other place in MB so I guess we'll never know.) Great place overall, do recommend! Cheers! read more

What an amazing business - I took in my wife's Mercedes G63 AMG in for regular service. Beau helped me out and was very thorough - I got a detailed inspection that was emailed over to me and was able to get my car back the next day with no hassle and no upselling pressure. I will for sure be back with all my vehicles. read more

Chad and the team at Cars and Muffler has always been super helpful with fixing my car issues. They are friendly, responsive, and always professional. The location is great and I would highly recommend them. read more

Every time I bring my truck in I am met with knowledgeable and professional employees. Chad is the best. He takes care of my truck as if it's his own. Not that I want my truck to need work done, but I always look forward to coming to Cars Automotive. They even have snacks and drinks for you while you wait!! Check it out!! read more

This place is great! I have a classic bronco with an exhaust and tip setup I didn't find to aesthetically fit. I was fully prepared to do a full replacement and originally found them on yelp to do a full replacement. Not only did Mike recommend and advise me of a much simpler and cheaper solution (which I would have paid him for!) he also showed some amazing attention to detail and went above and beyond to make it look perfect and for 1/10th of what I was expecting to spend. Def going back! read more

This is in response to Mike D. Owner of Cars Automotive & Muffler. Your people are lying to you. I did pay for that service. And i paid for the part as well!they made me wait an extra week and a half for the part. That means they are making you complicit in their lies and fraudulent business practices. Good luck. read more

After several failed attempts with local mechanics Chad and Cars muffler and automotive were able to diagnose and fix the problem. They are very professional and kept me informed each step of the way. I highly recommend cars muffler and Automotive for your automotive needs. read more

I brought my truck to this establishment after an event hosted by our local Police Department for catalytic converters etching. I decided to get cages added to my truck when I was at the event. At the event, they Car Automotive told me it would be $400 a piece. When I arrived, I was advised it would cost $120 more than what I was told at the event. Red Flag #1. I decided to go ahead and leave my truck to have the cages added to my vehicle. The next thing I know, Cars Automotive took multiple pictures of my vehicle (which I didn't authorize) and said they did an inspection; they texted me indicating it was important I get the oil changed, a new filter, and recommended the antifreeze be switched out costing well over $1000. I did not request for an inspection be done, I only went there to get cages placed on my vehicle. More so, I am not going to spend over $1000 for this type of work to be completed. Red flag. #2. The picture they took of the oil stick indicating I needed an oil change did not represent my truck. Red Flag #3 - Fortunately, I checked my truck over the week before and I knew immediately my oil stick did not look like that. PLEASE BE AWARE... get a second opinion if necessary before getting any work done here. When I questioned why they did an inspection without my awareness, they said, they forgot to tell me and they do it for all cars. More so, they said they thought I needed all of this done due to the age of the vehicle. I only have 49,000 miles on it and routinely do proper maintenance. Please keep in mind, they are very friendly and will act like they will take care things for you, as the "don't want you to get stranded anywhere". If I didn't know my car, I could have easily fallen into a trap thinking they were top rated and ended up spending thousands of dollars for unnecessary work to be completed. read more

I recently had tires replaced at a tire dealer. While traveling to LA from San Diego I was hearing odd sounds from the tires. The manager here helped me with troubleshooting and rotating the "offending tire" for free! I have NEVER had any repair advice/service done free of charge. Thanks so much to the guys at Cars Automotive & Muffler for their kind willingness to help out "the little old lady from San Diego". read more

Five Stars Service!! I took my car to the shop for a CAT shield installation. My catalytic converter recently got stolen. Just got it replaced, it cost a fortune and the time you can't use your car. Dale was person that helped me. Their price is fair, the service was fast and professional. They even engraved my car's VIN on it. Feel much safer after the installation, make it harder for the theft to steal. Car Automotive & Muffler is an authorized installer for Miller Cat Shield, definitely recommended. read more

I can NOT say enough about this establishment. Long story short, I had my catalytic converter stolen & needed my car ASAP due to my job requirements. I didn't have a car rental covered by my insurance & was getting quite stressed when calling to other shops. Literally, EVERY other shop I called said it would be a minimum 3 month wait for the part. Cars Automotive & Muffler got it done in less than a week. They worked with my insurance & knocked it out. They even took my car through the car wash before I went to pick it up - it was well over due for one. They are sincere customer service through & through - with quality work. I'll be coming back here for all my car needs. Thank you, guys! read more

What great owners what an awesome staff I highly recommend going to cars for any of your needs they are very professional and Michael will take care of you anyway he can six stars awesome family run business I highly recommend them thank you Michael and Gilda and your staff. read more

I received routine maintenance & front brake pads & rotors for my son's car. I really like the digital system that shares photos and descriptions of recommended repairs (sent via a text message link). Additionally, the recommendations are categorized as urgent/non-urgent so that the customer can make an informed decision how to proceed. There is NO high pressure sales on non-urgent items. This is truly a FAMILY RUN business and they do best to earn your trust and build return customers. I have been returning for 10 years! read more

I highly recommend Cars Automotive & Muffler, especially if you have a Prius or other car on the list of "most stolen catalytic converters". I went in to have my oil changed and have the cat. cover I got from another repair shop checked. It was rattling terribly and I had already been back to the other shop several times. They fixed it! They tightened it down and it hasn't rattled for weeks. They also gave my car a full service check, topping it off with a car wash! Now that's sevice. And their waiting room has wi-fi, coffee, tea, water and great snacks! I never thought I'd say this but - Cars Automotive & Muffler actually makes car maintenance enjoyable! read more

Clean, Professional, Communicative. Took My large 2007 class C RV in for the cab air conditioning. After a full inspection I needed a lot more done but was not pressured into doing it all at once. Had the fluids flushed and changed and will take care of most of the other issues myself, which Mike said was a good way to go and would save me money. I never felt pressured or like I was being upsold. Just simply that if I wanted them to they would take care of it. Ive been renting out my RV and trying to find a mechanic to take a 30 foot vehicle was difficult. With no hesitation Mike took it and it was good to go n a day and a half. Shirlee was friendly, professional and communicative as well. All the staff seemed to be upbeat and ready to tackle whatever was put in front of them. Mike has really created a great environment for staff and customers alike. Thank you! Ken Murray read more

Great place always satisfied Chad has been dealing with my project car the progress is excellent

I had a nail in my tire and Beau was very friendly and professional. He fixed it in no time. I will be bringing all of my cars here from now on. The lobby was air conditioned and it was a very hot day. They had drinks and snacks available while I waited. The bathroom was clean. read more

Bought a new 2020 small SUV and needed a trailer hitch so I could place a bike rack on it! So, found the right hitch (Curt mfg.) and they had a dealer in Redondo Beach - Cars Automotive & Muffler! Went by and met Michael, the owner, and he said he would order the right hitch and call me when it arrived. Just as he said, Michael called 2 days later and we set the install appointment to today, the Tuesday after Memorial Day @ 8am. I arrived early, they put my car on the rack and in less than an hour later, IT WAS DONE! Now, I live in San Pedro but I tell you what, I will NOW drive to CARS CENTER for my regular maintenance as this was the best experience I have had in my 67 years in regards to automotive needs and problems! Efficient, professional, knowledgeable, fair priced, and spotlessly clean! KUDO's to owner Michael Dyckman and his staff for your services! read more

Complete scammers please go elsewhere, you've been fair warned!!! Terrible customer service

I came in for a coolant check, as it spilled in my car. The anwer I got from them was "you need to change the whole thing" and it costed $160 just for their "diagnostic" check. Also realized my head light was broken after I took it out from the shop. They were so not nice when I called. Took it to the shop around the corner, got a much nicer attitude and costed so much less for him to check it and replace the light for me. Well, speaking of "taking advantage of those who in need in desperate situations". read more
