My experience with Olympic Auto Center has been nothing short of exceptional, making it my go-to choice for auto repairs in Los Angeles. The integrity and honesty displayed by this shop are unmatched, setting them apart from other shops where I have experienced deceptive business practices such as recommending unnecessary repairs just to get more business. I love my car and I have a solid understanding of cars. So, I know when someone is not proficient or even deceptive. The level of service provided at Olympic Auto Center rivals that of a dealership, if not surpasses it. A recent incident highlighted this superiority: after a disappointing visit to a dealership where they couldn't pinpoint my car's issue, I turned to Olympic Auto Center. Steve, one of their skilled technicians, quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem, showcasing a level of expertise that left me thoroughly impressed. What impressed me even more was their fair price. I am sure that I would have paid substantially more at the dealership. Beyond technical proficiency, what truly sets Olympic Auto Center apart is their personalized approach to customer care. Steve, in particular, stands out for his genuine concern and friendly demeanor. His dedication to ensuring a positive experience reflects the shop's overall commitment to customer satisfaction. Having been a loyal customer for some time, I can attest to the consistency of their high-quality service. Even during busy times when there may be a wait, the assurance of a job done right and at a very fair price makes it well worth it. I highly recommend Olympic Auto Center to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy auto repairs in LA area. I'll always be coming here for oil change and maintenance for my subaru. Thank you, Steve, and the entire team, for always taking care of me and saving the day =) read more

Changed brakes and shaved rotors in about an hour and a half. Valvoline told me I had an engine leak and they checked it for free. Appointment was at 1 and I arrived 30 minutes early and they started as soon as I got there. Decent prices as well. read more

I brought my 2017 Subaru Impreza in for a blinking engine temperature/ coolant light issue and they quoted me 800 bucks for a new radiator. The next day, they called me saying they fixed the radiator, but there was an internal leaking issue that the mechanic couldn't figure out and that I should immediately go trade in the car before the engine fails. He gave me zero plausible or any technical explanation for what the origin of the issue was and added another 100 dollars to my service fee. I decided to take my car to a mechanic who is more accustomed to dealing with Subarus with the incredibly vague explanation I received from the mechanic rather than go sell or trade in the car because one person told me he can't fix it. The next day, I received an actual explanation of what the issue was, which was a cross contamination issue with the coolant and engine oil that can happen with the specific engine that Subarus are equipped with and he was able to give me an actual quote to fix the issue rather than telling me to trade in or sell the car. Furthermore, he said that changing the radiator should have only cost me a couple hundred dollars max and that the issue with the engine could have been prevented if I went to an experienced mechanic in the first place! I was overcharged by more than double the actual price of parts and service and literally told to go trade in the car after paying $880 dollars, which I had to haggle down from $900 after the price increased overnight. Please don't come here for any repairs as they are not qualified to provide proper service, yet will overcharge you without any agreement. The mechanic also demanded cash only or he would charge me even more with a credit card, which was extremely inconsiderate of the customer's financial situation in a tough economy. 차를 수리하러 왔다가 비싸봐야 3-400불 (다른곳에 350이면 충분하다고 하였습니다) 하는 서비스에 900 불 뜯어내면서 차를 고치지 못했고 무슨 이슈인지 전혀 모르겠으니까 임시적으로 굴러다닐때 빨리 다른 차로 바꾸라는 황당한 답변 받았습니다. 무책임 한 일처리가 더 화가 나는지 무능력한 수리이후 나몰라하는 태도가 더 화가 나는지 모르겠는데 엄청나게 큰 금액을 지불하고 또 다시 큰 금액내면서 다시 수리를 맞겨야하는 다른 피해자 생길까봐 리뷰를 남깁니다. 이것만 해도 너무 화가나는데 카드는 안된다고 현금 결재를 요구하였습니다. 다른 피해자 생기지 않도록 제 경험을 올리니 제발 다른곳을 알아보세요. read more

I went in for an oil change, and the employee who serviced my vehicle backed up my car into another clients car. I didn't get upset, and I asked Jonathan for 200 dollars of compensation. He wouldn't do that so I asked for his insurance, he wouldn't provide that either. I ended up having to call the police to file a report to get his insurance, and he wasted 4 hours of my time. He wouldn't provide the police with security footage, and the other car that his employee hit isn't even aware it happened. Claims has called me and I will update this post soon. In the update I'll provide the police case number, insurance incident number, damages, settlement, proof of denying security footage, and any further litigation. PS: It has been settled, he asked his insurance company to settle with me outside of insurance since he's worried about his rates going up. I told his insurance I won't since he wasted my time and was a complete asshole. I'm going to get an estimate now. RESPONSE TO OWNER: When I initially offered you 200 to settle, you looked me in the eyes and told me to fuck off. I told you I'll call the cops to get a report, and you laughed. I want people to read all of this, and I don't know if you do some weird black market shit, but, if something happens to me it's because of you. read more

These guys are great. I called a few minutes before closing time, but they stayed late to help me fix the car. And Mr. Kim only charged me $80. read more

This place over charges by a lot. Customer service is horrible as well. Typical Korean owned vehicle shop. Prices has to be reasonable or FAIR but this place is a complete scam. I highly recommend Han's compare to this place on Pico. I hate businesses who take advantage of customers and this place is a prime example. read more

quick easy and reliable service. i never feel like they take advantage of me or my wallet.

Five stars is not enough for these guys. I drove my car in with the front bumper practically hanging off. We have a Prius that is low to the ground and we are constantly having the tabs come loose from the bumper to the wheel well. They were able to reattach it with new tabs and it looks new! The front bumper is stronger now than when we bought it! This is my new home away from home for my car. read more

I mistakenly brought my car here for an oil leak diagnosis without knowing there was a change in ownership. The mechanic looked at my car and initially told me it isn't my car leaking oil. Then, he looked under the hood and started to list things that needed to be fixed. He told me the engine belt needed to be replaced or my car could just stop. There were no invoices for the parts or charges stated for the diagnosis. He told me parts needed to be ordered to fix the oil leak and engine belt. He told me a $200 deposit was required and they would call when the parts came in. I paid using a credit card and he was surprised it wasn't paid in cash. I later learned the manufacturer noted the oil leak as an issue and has an extended warranty to correct it. I tried to cancel the service and was told it was $120 for the diagnosis and $30 to return the parts. So basically, I was charged $150 for a 5-minute diagnosis with no prices stated upfront. I will never return but for those who are new to this process, i would recommend getting prices upfront before any payment and getting a second opinion because the prices are very high. read more

Great care, was very upfront about the costs and what needed to be done, and they finished the work much faster than was estimated.

Came in to get my oil pan fixed and got a great deal. They were nice and didn't try to push "recommended" services. I'll definitely be going back for any future services. read more

I hate that I'm even taking any time out of my day to leave this review but this was a SCAM. I paid $539 for Brakes + Synthetic Oil Change in the Spring only for 2 months later I suddenly have issues with my brakes AGAIN + they charged me extra for a service that they last minute did and I wasn't aware of until billed. I went in again and they said they can temporarily fix it or charge me another $200 for the service. I did not proceed because I already don't trust how they initially serviced my car. They seem money hungry and use low quality products to get the job done. Not a good look for a new company. Extremely disappointed. read more

Kim & Ben are an excellent team of mechanics that took their time to repair my car and installed the auto part I brought them without fail. What was appreciated the most was their openness to communication and their very honest pricing. Will be returning for future repairs very soon! Thanks so much, guys! read more

GOATED I am new to the area and needed to get my registration done super quick, however catch was that my car wouldn't start lol. After calling roadside assistance twice, I had to find someone in the area that could figure out the issue, solve it, and get me going. Not only did the identify AND fix my issue in less than 20 minutes - dead battery and broken tailight, they gave me guidance on what to do next for care of the car, along with if I even needed a new one (I don't). The team was professional, straight to the point, and honestly just good to be around. Hit these guys up for your auto needs - they the GOAT - GREATEST OF ALL TIME read more

Went with the exact issues with my car, they looked at the diagnosis that I had, told me they couldn't do it and when I asked what I should do they told me to GOOGLE IT!!! read more

Great customer service the owner even helped me out with the price and my starter was replaced within a timely manner 5 stars

I needed a quick and easy oil change and fluids checked for my 2009 Toyota Prius. I arrived at Olympic Auto at about 10:10 am today (Friday, May 31). As soon as I pulled into the parking lot, I was greeted by the shop's owner, Jonathan. He was polite and friendly. He asked me what I wanted done and directed me into the mechanic bay where two automotive technicians were ready to go to work. Jonathan, without being pushy recommended I go with synthetic oil as opposed to a standard version. I chose the synthetic oil. His two technicians quickly proceeded to complete the oil change and topping off all fluids within 20 minutes or less. The two men were kind and professional. I paid a total of $98.00 (tax included). Even after I paid, Jonathan made sure to ask his technicians if the job was completed as expected and if there was anything else that the car needed. An air filter change under the hood and the interior is what's needed and is on the calendar for the next visit. All in all, my short time and experience with Jonathan and his team was great. I recommend Olympic Auto for your automotive needs. read more

Jonathan, the owner, was extremely helpful and took the time to explain the different types of oil he recommended. He was never pushy and always asked what I wanted to do. In the process of doing my oil change, he found that my front breaks were going out and gave a very fair price to change them. Very satisfied with the service and would highly recommend!! read more

I came to this place to do an oil change. These guys, man, these guys were fast, kind, inspected brakes, filled in my water, air filter and let me cause of the problem that my buddy had given advises on what is necessary to be change and what's not necessary to be replaced to avoid money wasted. I would go back to this place any time if i have any issues with my vehicle. You guys are awesome! read more

Great service! 10/10 would recommend this shop. They helped fix my issue quickly and efficiently.

Great work at a good price. Will be coming back! The owner made it real easy and he worked very fast.

Did a great job fixing my baby momma car, they didn't try to get over or overcharge me , they were on time and the owner was very nice

Johnathan is accommodating and works with me to solve my horn problem. They did a great job with no hidden fees. They installed the horn in just a few minutes. The employee postponed his lunch break to work on my car. read more

This place is great. They fixed my car on time and for a reasonable price. They even used air pressure to clean the engine. The guys are polite and talented. I highly recommend Olympic Auto Center. read more

I could bring car really fast and they checked it thoroughly. They gave me a very good price for the needed repairs and made sure everything is fine with my car. The repair was done fast and you could see that they know what they are doing. Would go there again. read more

I initially had troubles with the car starting and initially thought it was a starter issue, but it wasn't. They charged me $400 for an oil change and "oil gunk cleaning" that will supposedly fix the starting issue. Charged $500 dollars for labor for the starter too when I already had the part. I went to another shop and they fixed my starting issue for $50. They will upcharge for their services read more

Quick service, nice employees and price was really good. Easy to make an appointment

They didn't look at my car too much just told me "to go to the dealer." 3 stars only because they didn't expect any sort of payment for that "inspection." I described my problem rather thoroughly on Yelp and was told to come out in person, so it feels like maybe the job was beyond their skill set. Keep that in mind when reaching out and spending your time here! read more

Did not consider what I need for them to check the press coolant. Instead he told me there is an oil leak. Maybe he said when you do an oil change. We will see what's wrong??? My reaction just leave and say thank you read more

One of my friend recommended getting serviced my car at this shop. It is not easy to find a honest shop with integrity in these days. It was time for my old car to change the engine oil. I asked him to do the job with expensive oil but he suggested the regular one because there's no big difference between pricy one and regular one. He is very trustworthy. I will definitely stop by here later whenever my car needs to get serviced. read more

Estimate for work is ridiculous 2500-4000 to replace transmission seal. I will stay away

Just did an oil change here. They took great care of my car, did it quickly, and had me back on the road in no time. Thanks Olympic Auto Center! read more

Literally the best customer service all around town as soon as I parked my car for an oil change they treated me like royalty rolled out a red carpet and everything ! Not only was the service good but so was the job they were able to take care of my vehicle right away and the pricing wasn't overcharging like other shops. 10/10 would come again, they also do really good tint jobs !! read more

the owner was trying to make me pay $80 for an estimate. i went in to see how much it'd be to her my trunk latch replaced. he was charging me $200 for the trunk latch, which it costs $20 on amazon; he told me everyone around here would charge $200 for the part. as i was prepping to leave, he kept insisting i have to pay $80 for the labor of the estimate. i told him i never paid for an estimate & left but i was very uncomfortable with this experience. read more
