I stopped in and asked if they had time for an oil change. The guy at the counter said they were busy that day but if I stopped by the next day at 4 he would take care of it no problem. I stopped by at 4 and he said they only had one lift and were working on a different vehicle all day. I asked him why did you tell me to come back today and he just looked at me and shrugged. Total waste of my time, will not be returning. read more

I've gone to this place numerous time. They helped me with fixing multiple things. There was something going on with my car and it kept me from passing smog.

The people who work at mission auto repair are so lovely. read more

These guys are amazing. I had some unexpected issues with my headlights, so I stopped at the nearest Toyota Dealership. They wanted two days and over $250. I took my car to Mission Auto, and they did the whole job in less than 20 minutes and charged me 60 bucks. read more

Harair and Davit have been the best neighbors to me. While being excellent, professional mechanics, they have been always truly caring and friendly. As a single woman who doesn't know much about cars, dealing with car matters can be rather challenging. But, through and through for a few years, Mission Auto Repair has been totally reliable, and my trust has been solid on them on working on my car as well as on their honest prices! I feel fortunate to have found them! And I highly recommend Mission Auto Repair! read more

Got a last minute oil change here. They were very accommodating. My husband has been coming here for over a decade. They've never tried to price gouge him and always give him an honest assessment. Even though it's a little out of the way for us, I'll be coming back for sure. read more

I went here when my car was having issues starting. I dropped my car off in the morning, Davit diagnosed the battery issue within a couple of hours, and quoted me a reasonable price to get it replaced. I was only charged for the battery replacement- no installation or service fees. My car was as good as new that same afternoon! Honest, reliable, affordable auto shop. Mission auto will be my go to from now on. read more

This is the best auto repair in south pasadena if not in Los Angeles. Harry, the mechanic and his son Davit are the best ! I have been coming to them for years and they know cars! They really do. They fix my car every time I go there... Harry always seem to know what the problem is. If it doesn't require any fixing he will tell you. They are honest mechanics ... that's why I keep going back. I trust their work completely and I highly recommend them. read more

Mission Auto Repair - Smog Check Stations Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Harry and Davit (father,son) are the two best mechanics I've found in LA. Honest, helpful, and technically excellent. They are always going the extra mile to make sure my car is running smoothly and safely. Have been going to their shop for several years and can say it's the best I've been to. read more

Trustworthy shop with really nice people. My go to now for oil changes and small repairs. They replaced my breaks recently for a very fair price. read more

Oh my goodness! I dropped by to make an appointment for a smog check but the very nice gentleman, Fred, offered to do it then and there. He let me stay in my car (which was quite inconvenient for him!) because it was so hot outside. Smog check was done in 15 minutes and I was on my way. Such great service and nice people! read more

These guys run their shop with integrity. I'll be coming back. Saw this place open up recently and I dropped by to have my car checked out after it was giving me some electrical problems. I dropped in with what I thought was an electrical issue with the throttle and my tail lights. When I went back to pick up my car they actually charged me significantly LESS than they had estimated because the repair wasn't as complicated as they had anticipated. Car is working great now too, no problems yet. Also saw them drop what they were doing and patch a woman's tire on the spot when she showed up with a flat. It was a weekday morning too so I'm assuming she was trying to get to work and they helped her out. read more

Great and friendly service. I arrived when they were about to close the shop but both took care of my car without any hesitation. I would definitely go back for smog check and oil change. Thank you very much for taking care of my car. read more

This hidden gem of a Smog Check establishment is at the Arco station. When I arrived, the owner immediately greeted me with a smile and asked me to leave the car running. The smog check took less than 15 minutes as promised and I was on my way. One of the most pleasant and effortless in-and-out experiences of my life! : ) read more

What a wonderful jewel! A father and son team, Harry and David, were lifesavers for me today! I rolled in late in the afternoon (after 4:30) after my battery died earlier. (I was at the Highland Park Carwash. Another incredible find when my battery died. Got a jump-start from one of the very helpful employees.) Anyway, back to Mission Auto Repair....I have been spending my time driving between my home (Summerland, CA) to Pomona, where my uncle is currently residing. He was hit by a truck on Jan. 14th and sustained major brain injuries. His house is in So. Pasadena, which is now my in-between base. So...I need a dependable car and spend several days per week driving to Pomona from So. Pasadena and Summerland. I honestly didn't think that they could possibly a) get a new battery considering the hour b) get a battery for my 525i BMW at the late hour c) be willing to install it at the late hour They absolutely delivered on all counts!!!! I took my hog of a dog (big German Shepherd) on a very long walk and when we returned it was done! And...at a very reasonable rate! I sooooo highly recommend this establishment! They are the real deal! Hard to find kind, honest, and competent people these days....they are all of the above and more!!!! read more

Went in to get my car smogged and came out within 30 minutes with everything squared away. My go-to spot to get my cars smogged.

After my ac stopped working on my toyota prius I went to another shop and i was quoted an expensive repair service so i decided to give this place a try. they diagnosed the problem and fixed it the same day for fraction of the price. Would highly recommend this shop! read more

My car started smoking and multiple mechanics told me that i needed a new engine. I took my car to mission auto repair for a second opinion and they diagnosed it and told me that my problem was due to my cars computer. They quickly fixed it and the repair cost was just a fraction of what a new engine would of costed me. Very convenient and knowledgeable mechanic read more

Went in for an oil change and found out the noise from my car was due to cheap brake pads from a previous owner. They did a full front brake job and my car has no more noises anymore. Prices are great and the job was done in a timely manner. read more

Just had an oil change done, good service and price was fair, glad they are open again, this had been my go to place for years.
