Catalytic converter stolen from my Honda Accord last year and they Neshek's Auto replaced it the NEXT DAY! I always get my oil change and smog check there! Love them!! read more

They were really rude not helpful at all Suggest going somewhere else for your smog checks and car repairs, they are just in it to make a quick buck. Not to be honest and provide quality customer service. read more

Very knowledgeable, the prices very fair ( more than fair), and they got it all done efficiently. I brought the car in early morning and it was done before their short estimated time span. This team are unbelievable, if you want excellent car care at an extremely good price with personal service, this is the place. And, they can work on all different kinds of cars. My car is a two-year-old kind of complex car brand. Lino and Freddy and the crew are the best out there! Way above the corporate car care companies that are taking over. Let's support our local locals! read more

Best place to go for a smog. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Been taking my cars to this location for years. Freddy and Lino are great guys. read more

Disappointing service despite friendly folks. My car was brought in, as I had lifted my truck and receive a ticket for not adjusting the lights (something that I was unaware of). I promptly searched up local shops that were certified to adjust headlights. Upon driving into the lot, I was greeted by a seemingly friendly man who asked how they could help. After explaining the situation, the man looked confused and mentioned that he had no idea what he could for me. (???) after mentioning that I needed to get my truck certified in order to fix my ticket he then said ok and agreed to take my truck in. The man rambled off on how he was already in trouble with the city. I asked him to elaborate, as I had no idea what that had to do with my truck (or how I could help him). In the end, I had to call this shop over 10 (TEN) times before finally giving up and driving to the shop and taking my truck. My experience here at Neshek's repair shop was mixed as I was unable to have my issue fixed or even diagnosed here, leaving me without a truck for over 3 days and having to reschedule my court hearing. Beware read more

I got my brake and light inspection there and they did a great job. I highly recommend

John and Lino have been taking care of my entire families automobiles. I recommend them all of my friends. They are fast and reliable.

Come on guys I know your better than this. My mother has been going to this spot since I was I child now I've taken all my cars there. The last job they did was replacement of seems tune up and then some. Because the make of the car it's not a simple tune up , the manifold need to be removed and wasn't a simple fix. They were half the price of the other guys so I took it to them. The job was done about 4 months ago and just this weekend I needed to replace my battery so I was a disappointment and a bit shocking to see that a zip tie was used to keep my battery in place. (See pic) I know these guys are better than that and if I go talk to the owner he'll take care of. Even with this little hiccup I have no problem taking them my car. I just keep a closer eye on it. read more

Neshek's Auto Repair - Went in with one complete battery clamp, left with half of one and a zip tie - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had to have a salvage inspection smog/lights/brake check performed and was referred to this place by my auto body guy. They were quick, efficient, and matter-of-factly about the work. This isn't a luxury location by any means...in fact, it's closer to a scene out of a Martin Scorsese film, but they get the job done. The owner Lino is rough around the edges and isn't much for smiles, but it looks like (my experience while sitting there) everyone in the neighborhood trusts their cars to him. Abuelitas were bringing their cars to him to check and fix and he treated them so warmly and with respect. I liked that. He'll be seeing more and more of my quick mechanical jobs. read more

Known Johnny since I was a little girl. He was one of my Dads best friends. Honest and kind. Lino is too! read more

Great place. They are very helpful and will tell you up front of the issues your vehicle may have and pricing. I hate going to a mechanic place because I'm a girl and get screwed. They didn't make me feel like this and thank you for it!! Best smog location as well! My mom has been taking her car for smog gear always and they are certified! This is how I found out about the place! Thank you and you guys are awesome! read more

Very unprofessional!! My avalanche had a sensor problem and they completely shut down my whole truck and won't turn back on. They had it for 3 days promising a time and all. Now I have to take my truck to Chevy dealer. To top if off they blocked my husband number because he call constantly asking for truck, I called on my cell and call went through. What a shame and we were recommended by church friend read more

Good service! John is really the best mechanic in Los Angeles! Not to mention his reasonable prices, not like most of the mechanics these days who asked you double the amount for almost doing nothing! Keep up the good work Mr. Neshek read more

THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE SMOG SERVICE ONLY! This is a STAR smog location which I didn't need but helpful for anyone who does require that. I don't know what else to say other than I was in & out in 30 mins! There was an older lady in front of me who seemed to be familiar with the pl & the guys there were just helpful with anyone else who came around. The only annoying thing is that it's right across the st from the police station & you will more than likely keep hearing police sirens. It obviously has nothing to do with their work or service so it probably shouldn't even matter. Overall, A+ for service & quickness! read more

Neshek's is my favorite go to auto shop. Mr. Neshek is wonderful. I always get excellent service and their prices are very very fair. I've never been over charged for any service work that I have had done. I had been quoted $2500 in order to repair the catalytic converter. Neshek's charged me $600! read more

I absolutely Love these guys! Reasonably priced, diagnostics are FREE, no upcharges since John has all of his prices in his head already and most importantly GREAT staff especially my main man Liino, GREAT GUY! read more

Bringing my car to Neshek's for a smog check. My car is not in the best shape to pass, but they "get the job done"... John and Lino run the place. John is an old salty dog, Lino is his sidekick. prices are average...old school diagnostics (don't see a computer anywhere in the shop)...the place is a mess...but if you want your car to "pass", this is the place to go, just don't yell it out because the Sherrif station is right across the street! Lol! Oh, and expect to spend a while (this its not a "while you wait") kinda place.. read more

Great place. I got a quote from Pep boys and another local auto shop to fix the wheel bearings on my car. They both priced at 400-500 dollars, this place did it for 75 (I had my own parts) and they did it in a timely manner. The owner is pretty genuine and when asked, he told me that he has owned this shop for over 50 years (he is a bit of an older man). I'll be going here again when necessary in the future. read more

Been about 2 years since my last review of Neshek's Auto so I thought I would do another update. Nothing has changed at Neshek's, it's still a great, honest and reliable place to get your car repaired and serviced. My 1998 Chevy Venture Van was having some issues. The power steering fluid was leaking, the front end was grinding when I put on the breaks and turned the wheel and it needed an oil change. I could not turn the van so I did put some steering fluid in then I was able to but if I didn't bring it in to fix the leak I would be at the same place again with steering.I brought it to Neshek's Auto Repair and they took good care of me as they always do. The van drives like new. They replaced the power steering fluid hose, fixed the breaks which fixed the front end grinding noise and they did the oil change. The prices there are great too by the way. Mr. Neshek is a great mechanic. At times when the other mechanics are not sure of a fix they will consult with Mr. Neshek and he will come on over to the car and figure out what is wrong. Don't get me wrong, the mechanics on hand are great too but like anything sometimes it takes a diagnosis from more than one person to figure out what is wrong. Same goes for Doctors as well, takes more than one to fix an issue with the body. Mechanics and Doctors are no different in that respect to cars and the human body. Also, Mr. Neshek has been a mechanic since the mid 1950s so he has more than half a century of experience in this area. Try to find that at most auto shops!!! He's seen it all and done it all. He can fix any car brought to him but he does leave it to his staff mechanics most the time but as noted he does work on cars too still. Lino is the foreman and lead mechanic. Delfino, Arturo and Freddy are all excellent mechanics too. I was not able to drive the van for about a couple of months due to the issues and I didn't have time to bring it in until last week. Thanks to Neshek Auto Repair it's running like a charm and I am back to driving the van. While the van was out of commission I drove my mom's car which is nice but I also love driving the van as well. Thanks Neshek Auto Repair. Thanks Mr. Neshek, Lino, Delfino, Freddy and Arturo!!! read more

My pastor recommended Neshek's Auto Repair because he and the owner, John, used to attend the same church. The first time I went, I had a dead car battery, and John was nice enough to put a used one in for me, which gave me time to look for my battery receipt. My dead battery had a warranty, so when I found the receipt, I went to redeem it at AutoZone and got a new battery. Neshek's even installed the new battery for me. The second time I went, it was to replace a tail light. He had one of his guys do it right on the spot (no waiting). Best of all, he did it free of charge. He said he didn't want to make a receipt out for a few bucks. Haha. Then we chatted it up a bit. John's a great guy. You can tell he's a hard worker too...hands are always dirty and nails are black like a burnt steak. We all know how dishonest the auto repair industry can be...we've seen the incriminating evidence on tv. Heck, you may even be a victim. If you're looking for a change and someone honest and reliable, look to Neshek's. I didn't give 5 stars because the shop isn't in the best location, and isn't exactly the best-looking shop in town...if you can overlook that fact, then give it a try. read more

Probably one of the last honest AND accurate car repair shops in existence. For twenty years I trusted John and Lino to give me an accurate diagnosis, estimate and thorough repairs on my vehicles and that of my family. I now live in Hawaii, but my daughter still goes to have her vehicle taken care of at Neshek's. And one of their specialties is Radiator repair along with all the rest. In twenty years, I never got a bad deal. Thank You, John. read more

Honest mechanic. I like the fact the owner & his crew explain what's wrong with my car in "woman" terms.

Jon is a great man...he is honest and has been in business there for over 50 years...His mechanics are very thorough and will communicate with you on questions you may have....This is a huge word of mouth repair shop...I am glad I can express my view and opinion on Yelp.....Prices are very Fair..... read more

Awesome service. My truck needed the smog check and needed some work, Jon and Lino took care of it. Awesome service, time and $..super recommend this place... read more

John was very helpful and honest, my oil change was done fast and it was good price! Happy customer

Great customer service always! Thank you! Will continue to do business here. I've been coming to this location for many years and they never disappoint. read more

EXPONENTIALLY HONEST AUTOMOTIVE GODS!!! WELL WORTH THE TRIP TO MONTERAY PARK!!! A friend recommended Neshek's, and I"m SO GLAD he did! I drive "vintage" cars...you know...15+ years old...not yet classics, and in need of good maintenance. No matter what make I take to 'em (Olds, Toyota etc) they know how to keep it on the road. Never an unnecessary repair, and often a much-less expensive alternative that's functional...like my doorbell horn :) Across the street from East LA's lovely branch library and down the street from interesting local restaurants. So even the wait is enjoyable. JOHN (owner) & LENO (right-hand man) ROCK!!! read more

Replace engine was a travesty. Don't know mans name but kept telling me next week and next week. It took a whole month for them to find a used engine. He told me he had a guy who is his connect do after the 2 week he BS me about don't know what. They replace the engine but in the process the fuked up my steering wheel really bad. It wasn't aligned, he then told me come back tomorrow and I did. But the guy who does the alignment was off till 3 days later. So as I was driving on the freeway I started to see smoke I told them about it. He said is suppose to do that. But way before I got the car I told them if they ran it and said everything was ready. So next day same problem persisted. He said "I won't be able to work on it " for some reason. So I ended with a bad replaced engine that messed up my radiator and hoses. When he gave me my car back he said in a joking way "I hope i don't see you back". To which I responded " I hope I don't see you at all". Also note, if you are going to take your car to this establishment be sure to check it after they are done with it, before you drive home. Check that everything is tightened, battery, oil cap, radiator cap, bolts are not missing or if they replace something. Not right that you have to check that. My radiator liquid was replaced with water. read more

Great place, cheap smog! The guys here had my car checked put and passed in less than 20 minutes

This place is great to come and get your car fixed. Great prices and fast service. I always recommend friends and family to this place. Look for Lino, or John. But Lino is the man to go too. read more

This place is the real deal! I took my car in at 9am with squeaky brakes. Had a nice conversation with John- super nice guy. Got the rear brakes and rotors changed, 2 new air filters, and a new tail light all for $440!!! Done by 1pm. After I was quoted $1000 at pep boys. I will never take my car anywhere else. Good, honest guys who know their stuff. Happy customer! read more

This place is great. Called for a smog check told me to come in. Lino took the car in right away was done in about 15 minutes and it was done. Really cool people. Would definitely bring a car here for repairs read more

This place is a rip off!... My mom goes back constantly to fix the same thing because they never do the job right

The worst customer service ever and i spent$500 there. The owner yelled at me. Old guy needs to learn some manners. Never will return or recommend read more

Neshek did a smog check on my Toyota in 2012 and told us it would cost $200 plus the smog check for a total of $240. They fixed it so we thought, cause even after they fixed it, the light in the car was still on meaning it was never fixed. So we took it back and my boyfriend seen the guy mess with the bulb in the car. Now I know he should have said something, but he thought they knew what they were doing. We thought we could trust them. I knew the previous owners grand daughter and never had problems with them. They had even fixed police cars from across the street, and Judges cars. Now we took it back after 2 years and they said we will have to pay $80 plus the smog fee to fix it again. Why would they charge $200 and now $80 for the same thing? Does that make since? If you ask me they are only out to rip people off. We figured that taking the car back that it would pass after all we just had it fixed 2 years ago by them. I do not know it just seems fishy now, how they unplugged that light 2 years ago. It seems that they did not fix anything, and are trying to make money for some other person cause now they are calling someone else to fix it, on their property. We do not even use the car that much just to nearby market and back home. read more

According to Asari Auto Repair down the street if you want your car smogged this is the place to go to. It is a STAR test and repair station. There was a car on the dyno before mine, but I was still done in a half an hour. Unfortunately there is very little parking in their parking lot and you may have to park your car on the street. read more

Called to get a price quote to replace an EGR Valve on my 2007 Dodge Charger. Guy was rude saying EGR valve does not go bad on these cars. I did a diagnostic check on it and it gave me Code P0406 Exaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit High. So I did research online and a lot of Dodge / Chrysler owners had same problems and the fix was changing the EGR valve and gaskets even the Dealer said they recommend to change it at 83K. So I asked John for a quote and he kept going on and on about needing to get it checked it might be something else.. All I asked him was for a quote on EGR relacement who cares if in his mind that was not the problem. If he's like this over the phone I would not like to meet him in person.. I have never been or taken any of my cars to this shop. I saw a lot of good reviews here so I thought I would give them a try.. Well this place will not get my business period. read more
