Excellent service. I went in for an oil change and they saw that my tail light was out and went ahead and changed it for me. That was really thoughtful and I am grateful that I will not get a ticket for not having a working light. Excellent place for anyone who needs their car taken care of. read more

Amazing experience! My previous mechanic told me I didn't need brakes, but I decided to get a second opinion. After a full inspection, they found that I needed new brake drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and a hardware kit. They also discovered my brake fluid was leaking and fixed that as well. Huge thanks to Frank and Louis for being so helpful, honest, and professional throughout the whole process. They got everything done at a very reasonable price, and I truly appreciate the quality of their work. Highly recommend! read more

Fixed my car. Franks super busy, could use more mechanics, as a result it took longer than probably needed. Priced me fairly. I'd rather the job get done right- but slow, than wrong and rushed. I recommend This shop... unless ur in a hurry read more

been going here for years. never disappointed me. i live out of town now and still take my truck here.

I brought my car here to get a diagnostic done and I was informed I needed motor mounts which I knew about and was informed I needed a battery, I paid $147 for this and went home and repaired what they said was wrong, guess what car still feels the same and has same issue.. so now I'm out 147 and 230 for a battery and 450 for mounts ... read more

I had come to Pacific Auto Repair a couple of years ago to replace the thermometer in my 2017 Dodge Caravan and it was quick and painless so when my car started shaking on the freeway, I came right back. Jonathan and his crew diagnosed and repaired my car same day for an affordable price. I can't recommend them enough! read more

I dropped off my truck. They fixed everything. My truck was there for 2 days. Great price and great service with a smile.

Great shop, honest. Part of the Ray Deeter's shop family. Went in for a suspected issue, inquired if I needed brakes, and got a clean bill of health. Well worth the inspection fee. read more

Outstanding personal service from the owner Don Alberto, his son Al and his mechanics for vehicles foreign and domestic. They'll give an honest inspection of what needs to be done without any bunk upselling of other services unless something additional is needed to insure repairs are completed in full the first time. Their work is guaranteed, reasonable and completed in reasonable time frames for most repairs. Anything else will be explained as needed. We've brought our family cars there over 12 yrs now, for a wide variety of reasons and haven't been let down yet. Should there be something they don't service, they'll offer references to help you get that repair done just as satisfactorily. read more

These guys tried to charge me 1.5 hours of labor to change a headlamp bulb. They said they just go by the recommended time in the VW book. When i asked the owner how long i thought it would actually take, he refused to answer. Whys that? Well, because after I watched a YouTube video and bought the bulb at auto zone, it took me 10 minutes to change the bulb. read more

Called & ask if they could get my car in that day they said yes I got my power steering pump and hose replace the same day Great service read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place! Highly recommend! Very professional, honest, reasonable, and work very efficiently.

Called this business they gave me the run around with pricing. Saying leave my car quoted me a high price per hour and without even checking my car said it would be there all day. I'm like wait a minute why would I get charged for all day when your not even sure what's wrong? So I had my dad call and ask about his car to see if they say the same and yep they just want u to pay a high price without even knowing what's wrong with the cars. I advise everyone steer clear from this shop. I took my car down the street and got it back fixed in two hours. read more

This is the only shop I trust and am so grateful I found them! Great prices, fast work, polite, honest and they stand behind their excellent work. I had to have my car towed a while back and they took it (accidentally) to a different nearby shop. The price estimate THOSE guys gave me for a blown hose was $600 and 2 days in the shop. When I got a hold of Pacific, they brought my car to their shop (where I had intended to go in the first place), and fixed my car in 20 minutes for $50. read more

Very very very good price for oil change! highly recommend this place if you are looking for car repairs. The boss is very nice cool guy.

Quick, kind & honest! I love this place. I bring my Golf TDI here for service and repairs and they don't bat an eye at working on a diesel. They don't overcharge and they communicate and listen well. Knowing there's a great local place to take my car is a huge reassurance. Definitely recommend. read more

Took my f150 to pacific auto repair for the dreaded spark plug change, which plagues 04-08 f150s I had actually had a couple shops turn me away before I got to these guys. They got the job done in a reasonable amount of time, and the price was more then fair Plan on returning in the near future to get the 100,000 mile tune up. read more

Think this place is family owned. A few months ago I took my gti here for a check engine light problem. they did some work on it and the price was moderate. Think they had to replace my ignition wires and stuff. The next day when I went to pick it up I started it and engine light was off. Drove a block and it turned back on Took it back and they diagnosed it again and it said it was something else that was major. The dad who works there said he would take the parts back and give me a refund because the problem wasn fixed as it seemed to be something else. I think that was great of them to offer as some places wouldn be honest like that. I kept the parts and just considered it part of a tune up that I was gonna do eventually. I would bring my car back if I needed anything. read more

I have been a customer for many years. Alberto and his crew are great and honest. They tell you what is needed and what it would cost straight up, and if they don't know they tell you as well with a best guesstimate. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Call me if you want feedback. 8057084498 All my cars are taken care by Alberto. read more

Great trustworthy service at a fair price! The staff was friendly. They took the time to explain what needed to be done and answered any questions I had. I would highly recommend this place, and it's always good to support small businesses! They're family owned. James is the go to guy! Thank you guys ! read more

So happy this place was recommended to me. I asked on Facebook and this name came up many times. I needed a water pump and they were great. Not only are the polite and communicated well but also dealt with my CarMax warranty. I felt very taken care of and they even washed it!! read more

Was recommended to this father/son duo by local auto tire connoisseur Ray/Shawn Deeter and was not disappointed. Here's the key with these guys- accuracy and speed. That's right. They pinpoint the problem and get you your car back the very same day, sometimes in a few hours depending on the problem. They're local, fast, affordable and trustworthy? Fughetaboutit! Keep these guys on your short list of mechanics- next to your friendly neighborhood doctor lawyer and cop. They're the go to guys in San Pedro... AND they'll give you a ride home if you're local! read more

I don't like to write negative reviews, but even though the people here were really friendly I will never return. They seemed a little vague, when I gave them a list of things I wanted checked for my 40,000 mile service. I asked them to check out a problem with my horn and one other thing, and they didn't say anything about that when I picked up the car. The price to me would've been fair, if they were more thorough. But the dealbreaker, was that I went in with my tires perfectly inflated to 34 pounds each. And, someone there who didn't know what they were doing, just stuck a hose up against them apparently and increased the pressure to 48 pounds, which is dangerous. I wouldn't of even have been aware of this except that my car has an automatic sensor for tire pressure. This caused me to doubt whether other things were not done, or not done properly. I considered taking it to another shop to see if there really was a new air filter, oil filter and spark plugs. At least I have a lot of options for car repair in San Pedro. read more

Pacific Auto Repair - Shortly after my service I stopped to check my tire pressure, finding out that they were grossly over inflated. - Auto Repair Near Me - San Pedro, California

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Went for an oil change and a week later my engine was discombobulated. Of course they said it wasn't them who put the wrong oil. Typical unhonest mechanic. They have done my friend wrong as well but to a larger extent . I wouldn't go here. I honestly rather learn from a YouTube tutorial and work on my own car then to have those folks work on any of my cars. read more

These guys are super helpful and trustworthy. I've trusted my car with Pacific Auto for a long time, they're family owned. James is the go to guy! Thank you guys ! read more

As always, Pacific Auto Repair has excellent service. Although I've been going to them for years, and always refer my friends and family to them, I just wanted to write another review because they were so terrific at my last service a couple of days ago. As usual, I was very satisfied with the bill as they never try to rip me off...like every other mechanic in Los Angeles. Thanks, you guys! You are the best!!! read more

My husband and I both take our vehicles here. I own a 2009 cadillac Cts and our other car is a 1979 el Camino. They have never failed us yet. They are good at what they do. Never a problem. Once they fix it, thats it, we are golden. Most importantly they are completely honest and do not rip you off. I recommend them to anyone that asks me who my mechanic is. We plan on moving out of San Pedro but I will still bring my car here read more

These guys are awesome! A while ago I had a parking break problem that no could fix and these guys did for a very affordable price. They also worked on my front end of my Frontier and did a great job. Recently my truck was over heating... took it to my dad's mechanic because he insisted and wasted 200.00 on parts I did not need and the over heating problem still persisted. Took it back to Pacific Auto Repair and they found the problem... fixed it again and my truck is running great now. I highly recommend them. They are also very fast and couple of times they even stayed late on a Saturday to get the repairs on my truck done knowing its the only transportation I have. Bunch of great guys, family owned. Great prices. Honest. Excellent workmanship. read more

Dont come here. Brought my car in because it was smoking. Brought it in twice and both times it started smoking again 2 days later. The third time my pockets were a little hurt so I asked if they could just take a look and see if they can figure out what's wrong since Alberto(the mechanic who worked on my car) said both times it was fixed and that they had tested it and left it running and it was fine. He said cant do that gotta pay my employees and parts, alright I get it, but I brought my car in for you to make it stop smoking not for you to do everything else. Now my car doesnt even start. Thanks guys. By the way. Still have a coolant leak. read more

This is the only shop I trust. They are fair, prices very reasonable and they care about their customers. Love these guys!!!

This crew at Pacific Auto Repair, headed by Father Alberto, and son Alberto Jr., deserves MORE than 5 stars! This is an unsolicited review, that I insisted writing, because I'm THAT grateful!!! Ever dream of finding mechanics who are 120 percent honest, and allways find the most affordable solution. They found a $650 solution to a problem another mechanic(Joe and Mikes' Automotive in San Pedro) had an $850-$7,000...yes...7 THOUSAND solution!!!...i had a miss-fire problem with the 6th cylinder of a Hemi V8 in a Police Package Dodge Charger G80, that was preventing the car passing a smog test. Thinking Pacific Auto looked too busy, I made the colossal mistake of taking it too Mike and Joes...and there Mr. Robert Jaurez insisted the only way to solve the issue was to put a whole new engine in -a new one with labor-$7,000, a good used engine with labor, roughly-$4,500. When I said that was way out my budget, and that I wanted to keep the engine and open it up...he basically didn't want the work...he said"well I have to look out for my guys...I will talk to the owner and tell him where we are at..." He started saying just the labor to open the cylinder would be $850 , not including parts, and that of course he would be replacing "all the lines" once he started opening the engine up. He implied, that with labor and parts that it would be nearly as expensive as a used engine. I know just enough about Police package Chargers to know Mr. Jaurez at Joe and Mikes Automotive was talking a massive load thieving donkey dung. This guy was unbelievable, calling us "neighbors" as we found out we lived nearby, as he tried to rob me of 6 thousand, and three hundred and fifty dollars. This is like robbery AND rape! if someone was trying to rob people of 6 grand plus in any other way, he would be in jail where he belongs..happily, the story doesn't end there,....enter the heroes!!-PACIFIC AUTO REPAIR!!!!!! Alberto SR. diagnosed the problem AND solution in 5 minutes-while Joe and Mikes took more than 8 hours to do the same. Instead of replacing a great unique engine,he replaced the manifold and a manifold intake gasket on the 6th cylinder , and to further reduce costs, found a good used parts which brought the price down. So instead of $850 to $7,000-LIKE Joe and Mike wanted, PACIFIC AUTO REPAIR fixed it for $650 !!!!!!-AND THEY COMPLETED THE SMOG CHECK FOR ME TOO FREE OF CHARGE!!!!!INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Also bare in mind, Joe and Mikes base cost estimate for $850 ONLY covered the labor to open the engine-so with parts-Joe and Mikes cheapest would have been around $1, 300...but they were insisting that a new engine or a new used engine was the ONLY way...meaning $4, 500-$7,000, was the only way!?!?!Well, PACIFIC AUTO REPAIR found another way for $650!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you PACIFIC AUTO REPAIR!!!!!!!!! Your business is a hidden gem, your family and your family run business, have the greatest professional integrity and honesty possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The best service and best price!!!!!!!!!!!!Awesome people over there and they stand behind their work!!!!!!
