Heads up there is a change at Otto car tech shop 1. Counter guy Jorge no longer works there. 2. When they give you a total of cost for your vehicle it goes up $12.00 more if you pay by credit/debit card the card card device they are now using charges $12.00 more. So if you can and you don't want to pay the $12.00, pay cash. 3. The counter clerk is not a very good clerk He will give you one price over the phone, then when you go to pay it's a different price, he also doesn't tell you about the extra fee for using the credit card device. So beware always call and talk to Otto, he'll give it to you straight and ask him about the credit card device and the fee for it. You have been warn! Otto Car tech shop is still a great shop for your car read more

Did an oil change and brakes on my daughter's VW. All good . Thank u. Price was fair, timing was good read more

Well ottos repair shop repaired my car once again and did a great job.Transmission control solenoid was replaced.My white turbo chrsyler pt cruiser 2003 read more

Five stars, no hesitation. Honest, thorough, and incredibly reliable. I trust them completely with our vehicles, and they've kept our Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Honda CR-V performing like new. This is how auto care should be. read more

They are honest and fair in pricing. For a plethora of reasons, I cannot buy a new car. My 2005 Ford Escape keeps running thanks to Otto's. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. We went in for one repair, were quoted a price, but ended up being charged for work we never asked for. To make it worse, the part we originally needed would have cost less than what they did. Instead of resolving the issue, the so-called manager came out defensive and ended up kicking us out of the shop when all we wanted were answers. We didn't even ask for a refund, just clarification. They offered a check refund after we had paid cash--another red flag. This place is unprofessional and shady. First and last time we'll ever come here. If you do risk bringing your vehicle, take photos, get everything in writing, and double-check your bill before paying. Don't trust what they "say" as a quote. read more

Gave the shop a try and it was quick, honest and up front. I would definitely go back to the shop anytime. I'm sure that they will help any car anyone. read more

These will not steer you wrong. I got my oil changed and had a check engine light. Ultimately they recommended taking the vehicle to the dealer because the parts weren't readily available, but they did give me some great advice. I will definitely be bringing my vehicles here from now on. Just like the other reviews, these guys are friendly, honest, reliable, and overall a great business in our community! read more

So far we have taken all 3 family cars here. Service & prices are great & it's local!

This information is misleading: "Yelpers report this location has closed." Otto's Car Tech has been doing business for quite awhile now at 2010 South Pacific Avenue in San Pedro. I have received outstanding service on two vehicles for a very reasonable price. I appreciate that along with an oil and filter change Otto's does a 44-point inspection and tire rotation for no extra charge. George and Otto were both courteous and friendly. They allowed me to provide my own oil and filter. They offered a ride to my home a couple miles away, but I didn't mind waiting. I could tell from the conversations they were having with other customers that they are good communicators and very supportive of their customers' needs. Highly recommended! read more

Otto has always told me when I needed work done on the car, and he has told me when I did not as well. He's efficient and fair; the best mechanic I've ever found. read more

They moved to 20th Street, East of Pacific. Still sounds very professional over phone!

I've been going to Otto's for a few years now, and was always happy with their service. Then I brought my car in because it was skipping just a little at high speeds, and was told it needed new plugs. Then they said one of the spark plugs shattered on taking it out, and when they gave it back, three days later, it was running on only three cylinders with the check engine lights on. When I asked Otto what happened he said I'd brought it in like that. I hadn't. $400 later, I am really sorry to have been lied to. I expected more. read more

A year later and I'm still with Otto. Recently got my brakes and rotors done with a transmission fluid flush (17 GMC Sierra). Preventative maintenance is the best maintenance and Otto pays attention to details. He gives you what you need and doesn't BS or upsell you. You the cheapest but the quality is definitely there 10/10. read more

Took my daughter's car in and Otto and his team were more than helpful, reasonable and explained the work that needed to be done in a timely manner. We had to take her car back for another item, same experience. Great to have a reliable auto repair shop in the neighborhood! read more

I thought the reviews indicated this place wouldn't be a bad choice but I've had issues arise right after taking my car here twice. The second time I picked up my car there were grease prints all over the outside and my alarm system wiring was tampered with hence now having issues with locked doors. One of the issues I paid to resolve wasn't even fixed and now I'm having issues reaching the company. Don't take your car here.. read more

We wanted to find a local car repair shop and finally landed at Otto's. I made an appointment for an oil change. They worked on my car straight away and did an excellent job! Everything was checked out to make sure everything was running smoothly with my car. The best part is Otto is really friendly and efficient! We will definitely come here from now on for all car repairs! read more

These guys replaced my radiator and battery on separate occasions when my car started having issues while visiting the area. They didn't try to overcharge me for anything, were friendly, told me exactly what needed to be fixed and why, and were relatively affordable. Also they are still open even though Yelp says that they are closed. read more

I have been taking my car to Otto's for about three years. I love doing business with fellow San Pedrans. Otto's crew does an awesome job on my care and Otto charges reasonable rates. He moved to the 5th Street location 8 years ago. He has expanded to two shops. One for American, Japanese and Korean cars, the second ship services European cars. I highly recommend Otto's. read more

Otto's Car Tech - Otto and his business cards. - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - San Pedro, California

I have a 2004, Ford F250 Super Duty, V10, 6.8L Truck with 181,000 miles. A week ago I noticed a slight grinding noise starting, by the end of the week it had gotten considerably worse. My wife has a 7:30 in the morning appointment on Monday for her first ever colonoscopy. It's two o'clock, Friday afternoon, I need a mechanic close to the house. I had read a lot of wonderful reviews about OTTO'S Car Repair in San Pedro about a mile from where I live, so I called. A friendly voice answered and asked how can I help you?. So I explained my situation and how I absolutely needed the truck to be fixed on Saturday so I could get my wife to her medical procedure Monday AM. He told me bring the truck in at 8 AM and we can do the job. I thanked him and asked for his name, OTTO, he replied. I felt a HUGE sense of relief knowing that the Owner was telling me this. Old fashion Service is just one of the many perks of taking your vehicle there. George greeted us the next morning with a smile and hand shake, apparently OTTO had left message that I was coming in, and they were ready to start. We walked down to Rex's Café for breakfast, while they put the truck up to look at the brakes. When we came back 45 minutes later, George said, can I show you what the problem is. He showed us both front and rear brakes and explained that the problem was actually with the rear brakes and rotors and they needed replacement. The fronts were fine. He gave me a price, which was comparable with other quotes I had gotten throughout the week. Then I asked for a ride home and "BAM" we home in less then 10 minutes. Thank you Jacob for getting us home safely and when the truck is ready they are going to pick us up and bring us BACK to the repair shop!!!! Fantastic Customer Service! Also, most areas are clean, uncluttered and have 2 large TV's in the waiting area. I'm giving 5 Star's today because they earned it and my loyal support. Thank You Otto, George,Jacob and the rest of the team at Otto's We will be back. The Harris Family Picked up the truck at 1:30pm. Everything working great and George even was kind enough to pass on a small but very appreciated discount read more

This place is our new go-to for car repair. Super nice on the phone and in person. My car died while pulling in the lot but they were very accommodating and didn't charge anything extra for charging/moving it. I was able to save a little bit of cash by exchanging the battery that we had just purchased at Costo and dropping that off onsite. Altogether it was $600 after taxes, a new alternator and they did everything within a day. We're definitely coming back. read more

Dropped my car off with Jorge and he was extremely helpful. Glad I found this place will be a return customer! Jeep grand Cherokee 2017 Overland read more

My family has had Otto as our mechanic for about 20 years. We recommend him to anyone who needs a mechanic. He works hard to give you the best service! I trust him to tell me what my car needs right away, and what we can do later. A family member moved from out of state, and he was shocked how reasonably priced his service was! read more

Great trustworthy service. And a heck of a lot less expensive than the BMW dealership.

I have been bringing my car here for several years, easy to work with and reliable when it comes to parts, turn around time and over experience I have always gotten from here. I will continue to refer them. read more

Brought my 2015 GMC Acadia in for AC refresher, oil change, and general check up. Otto took my car in on the next business day - dropped off at 8 and made all the necessary repairs (additional thermostat sensor issue located) by the end of the day! Had it back after I got out of work! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back for tune ups! Thanks, Otto!! read more

A wonderful find! My 2005CRV Honda developed an electrical problem and while driving in San Pedro in my wife's car I happened on Otto's shop. Derek invited me to bring the CRV in and he'd sort it out. With the help of a friend and some jumper cable's I got the car to Derek. He could find no problem - no charge - and I drove it home. Next day it was dead again. Derek made a house call to pick up my car. He gave me a probable cost of $150 (no charge for diagnostics and no mention of the house all.) Two days later my car was ready to go. Electrical system now A-O.K. Price: $123 (less than the quote!) Along with my paperwork, he gave me a large bar of chocolate (a common thank to to his new customers.) I was blown away by the excellent service, honesty and great attitude. A gold star operation! read more

I brought my truck a while back and they did a great job and gave me a great price. Recently my wife's car started to give some trouble so I brought here. Once again great outcome. Otto car tech is definitely the place to bring your car for any need. read more

Very responsive, a fair price with professional employees and a great work product. A new find in San Pedro for us but Otto has been around for years. Friends have been going to Otto for years as he worked at various shops in San Pedro. read more

I was referred to Otto's Auto Tech by another shop. Otto did extensive work on my car and never discussed the repairs or bill with me. When I went to pick the car up he charged me $808.00. A review of the bill shows they did work that was never discussed with me. I requested a partial refund but he has refused. I have filed a complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair. I DO NOT recommend this shop for anything. You use them at your own risk. read more

Ive been taking all my cars to Otto for years now and I couldn't be any happier. He is honest and reliable. It is really hard to find a mechanic now a days who is honest with you and I'm glad I found someone who is. Also his shop is super clean and the location is great. Convenient hours. read more

Otto always gives me his full attention when I am explaining what is going on with my car. He genuinely cares about what you want done and not just what will make him more money. I drive from Torrance to see him because I trust him. He always works with me financially and schedule wise. Such a great filled with integrity and genuine kindness. read more

I have been going to Otto's for 5 years now. He has serviced our Audi and Lexus autos excellently during that time. His prices seem very fair, and he has always finished the cars when he said he would. He previous location seemed a bit cramped, but I believe his new location will completely solve that. I highly recommend this shop and plan to continue using it for as long as we are in the area. read more

Recommended Complete auto care. Honest, performs work approved and suggests items to keep an eye on. read more

Took my car in last week (truthfully, based on great yelp reviews) because it was making a clunking noise. Otto quickly diagnosed it as a right axle problem and gave me the option to put a new part in or a rebuilt one which would be a bit cheaper. I went for the new one based on his recommendation ---he was very honest and friendly as were the other mechanics working there. We scheduled my repair for the following week. I dropped it off on Tuesday night. It was done by 1 PM the next day. They will drive you somewhere local if needed when you drop your car off. The price was very fair and I will definitely be back! read more

I have been to Otto's three times and each time I walk away satisfied! He and his staff are world class! They are honest, friendly, and do great work! read more

Otto and his team were very professional, charged reasonable rates, and visiting them was an overall positive experience. I visited this location for a Toyota Corolla and they took good care of my car. read more

Very helpful, honest and reasonably priced mechanic. Have taken 2 of our vehicles there and both times i was happy with the service! Highly recommend. read more

Otto's Car Tech is awesome. He fixed my Honda Odyssey and did a superb job. After dropping off the vehicle, Otto contacted me in less than an hour and a half with the diagnostic results and a reasonable price. I never had such a productive mechanic shop work on my vehicle like Otto's. I recommend Otto's to everyone and even my husband's vehicle is getting repaired as well. In fact, I never give yelp reviews but, Otto really deserves it; he's an honest man. Thank you Otto for all your honesty and hard work! read more
