My experience here was absolutely phenomenal. Anto kept me updated along the way and made sure things got done in a timely manner.

Update: The brand new battery I had to buy went completely dead in a week-and-a-half. I'm no expert, but I suspect the crew at Paul's hooked up the electrical system so that the battery is always powering the engine, even when off. It looks like I will have to get a tow to a competent and honest mechanic to have everything fixed Paul's broke. I wish I could give less than one star as a warning to others. read more

See all

Very honest and reasonable prices! The shop is very neat and I was able to get my car in time too!

I was not satisfied with the experience I had. I have a catalytic converter to a throttle body to battery to an alternator to lastly telling me the the part that needed to be replace was the abs module. Luckily I fixed the catalytic converter on my own with a few bottles of fuel cleansers the code disappear. The battery was changed,oil change was done and the throttle body was changed. All that amount of money plus the time consuming to tell me that he will replace the alternator and if that wouldn't work and turn off my dashboard lights that I will get my money back. When I told him that my lights were turning on again he said that the part that needs to be replace was the ABS module but he never refunded me my money that I had expended replacing the darn alternator that didn't needed replacing. When I told him to refund the money because he said he will do it, he said that the alternator needed to be replace too which was BS because the engine light was never on and codes never mentioned anything about alternator but of course they will say whatever they can to no refund their own misdiagnostic. After that I didn't trust them anymore because it seems they are just guessing with their codes read more

I just met Anto (son of Paul) and he is a super nice guy. Very professional and you can tell he does quality work and is honest. I took my car here for service and a few repairs and the quality and speed of the repairs was A-class. I dropped off my car on Saturday and in 2 days he was able to fix everything on my BMW. I got the invoice and was shocked as how good his pricing was. I am definitely going to take my car here for anything and everything. read more

Paul's auto has been servicing my cars for years. Trust worthy, and always get the job done right. The mechanics over there are awesome and Anthony keeps great communication. read more

Great team and honest service. I would recommend them to anyone who needs honest expert care.

Paul's Auto Repair is responsive & responsible! Got my break repaired. It was fixed in just a few hours!

Ok so I left a negative review before because of what Paul's did to my sisters car. Well the other day our other car, which Paul's also fixed, suddenly starts idling rough, so I take it to 'my' mechanic this time to have it fixed and tuned. When I picked up the car our mechanic of 20+ years told me today that it needs a new timing belt and water pump, so I look at our (Paul's) receipt from this past February, and lo and behold there they are, all bought and paid for. Update - They also charged me for a new car battery that wasn't even two years old, just like they did to my sisters 4 month old battery. They also didn't return my battery, like they did to my sister, and it still had a warranty. Maybe this place used to be honest but it seems they need to reevaluate their business morals.... Lesson learned but I'd really suggest to everyone who decides to take a chance - Remember to ask for your old parts back! read more

Pauls Auto Repair - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Harbor City, California

I went to Paul's a month ago. I got to say Anto provided excellent service, he was quick to respond and really took the time to explain all the work and explained why it was needed. read more

Went to Paul's auto today for the first time for an oil change they were great! They completed my service in a timely manner & efficiently & the price was reasonable. And they broke down everything I paid for so I wasn't left in the dark on anything. Great customer service! Will definitely be back!! read more

A genuine man with genuine prices, paul is one of the cheapest mechanics i know, went shopping around looking for a family mechanic and i have finally found my one. He knows what he's doing and everything comes back in one piece working better than before! I have already been here for a minor oil change to a complete part reassemble. There is a starbucks near by that you can go to while you wait, or a small couch area to sit in as well. The service and price is impeccable and hard to beat, making him the best mechanic in town! read more

I was visiting my mother in Torrance and I noticed that her engine check light was on. My brother-in-law recommended that I speak to Anto at Paul's Auto Repair to check it out. The repair shop was busy but Anto was able to take a few minutes out to diagnose and explain the problem. Great customer service and now I know why my brother-in-law refers him. read more

I took my Honda to Paul's for a brake job. Fair price, good service, completely satisfactory in every way. They let me know the rear brakes could wait. There was on-street parking in front starting a few yards west of their entrance on PCH. I left the car off in front, picked it up in the alley around back when it was ready. read more

Love, love, love Anto and his crew at Paul's Auto!!! My uncle used to take his Mercedes to Paul back in the day until he moved to the OC... When I moved from AZ to the South Bay my uncle told me to take my car to Paul's son, Anto. They treat you like family, and would never overcharge you or tell you needed something you didn't actually need. I used to totally stress whenever that check engine light would come on-especially being so far from home and not having my Dad who always took care of all those "car sounds"....now I have zero anxiety. It is so comforting knowing Anto will take care of whatever is going on...he is the next best thing to having a Dad to fix it :) read more

Special thanks to Anto who is recognize my car issues and successfully fixed. Finally ))) The price it was a lil high but I'm understand that it's ok for Jaguar read more

Pauls Auto is the place to go hands down! When ever I have an issue, I take it over to Pauls for them to take a look at it and too fix it. They are always very fair on pricing and they do very quality work. I have taken several of my cars to them and every single time I leave with a smile on my face. Anto, will not let you down! Very reasonable, fair, and kind person. read more

Very honest ! I needed a car repaired and they were so nice and reasonable ! I would recommend them to anyone !

The owner Anto N. is a straight shooter. I had issues with my battery or alternator it seemed on my Dodge Challenger but it turned out it was just a defective cable! Other shops might have tried to sell me a new battery or even a new alternator but Paul's Auto just fixed what was necessary! That's what a garage should be like, I couldn't be any happier. Highly recommended! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. My review may be skewed because all of my bf's family brings their cars here. However, Anto is intelligent, experienced, and kind. As a female especially, any car troubles is stressful. Anto always solves any issues, and works with my broke-ass. I come here for oil changes and engine/suspension issues. One time my car was having trouble speeding up/making strange braking issues. They fixed my timing belt free of charge! I would recommend anyone to come here. The best time to drop off your car is in the beginning of the week, btw. Anto and his crew is the best!! read more

If you're looking for a place to get your car fixed, stop right here! Paul's Auto Repair is the best! I recently had a starter replaced on my car, not only were they fast and friendly it was $200 less than the dealer. An honest high quality repair shop is hard to find! Go see Anto at Paul's Auto Repair and tell him you saw this on yelp. Good guy, good price! BTW, they do oil change too! read more

Owner is rude like he doesn't need your business. Won't give you a ballpark price until he tears your car apart (first clue). Then you get the call several hours later with a hefty repair bill (it was at about double what it should have been). What to do now? If you're like me, you took the day off work to get your car fixed and really have no option at this point but to have Paul's do the repair. Can't afford to pick up your broken car, take another day off work and bring your car to another repair shop. I went off the 5 favorable Yelp reviews and learned a hard lesson (need at least a 100 reviews to be legit - lots of fake reviews out there). So much for trusting in the hometown repair shop. This will be the first and last time I go to this place, look elsewhere. read more

I was referred to these guys by a close friend who swore by the place, and I was totally impressed by the quality of service and care taken by this establishment when it came to fixing my car. They are super busy, and now I can see why. The cost of repairing my car was quite fair, in fact, when I was shown the bill, I asked "is that it??". They are only a block away from where I work, so it was pretty convenient, but I'm sure if I where to ever change locations, I would still take my car to Paul's to get it fixed. read more

You would be hard pressed to find a better auto repair than Paul's. Paul's son, Anto, is in charge, and the guy couldn't be nicer. Keeping many services at 1970's prices, with a friendly, generous attitude. He will warn you when services are coming up, and never overcharges. Parking can get a little tight, and there is an entrance through the alley in the back as well. read more

Great pricing...true honest mechanic and you can't find that in any place. Jiffy lube...valvaline instant oil change all provide good service to start then comes the sales tactics and he doesn't. Anto the owners son is the manager and he is one nice guy. Will recommended anyone to come here. read more

My father and myself have been bringing our cars here for many years. Fair prices and honest work. I have no idea how someone could leave a bad review for this place, they are an excellent repair shop. read more

I've been going to Paul's for years. Anto is great as are all the mechanics there. The other day the belts on my Suburban were squealing so I drove over there. The mechanic on duty asked me if the car had been sitting for awhile (it had). Then he said the rust just had to wear off the belts and the squealing would stop (it did). There was no charge. I take all of my vehicles there. Prices are reasonable, service is great. If you have someone picking you up pull around the back into the alley and avoid the sometimes crowded parking lot. This is the best place ever for car repair. These guys are all top notch mechanics and super friendly. read more

Brought a car here on Friday, on the recommendation of my aunt. My aunt, uncle and cousin's all bring their cars here. I don't live nearby, otherwise I would definitely patronized this excellent shop. Anto did a pre-purchase inspection and explained to me that the car I was considering was "a nightmare." This car was going to be for my cousin. I told Anto that my cousin has been sober for three months and needs a car for a job he's starting this Tuesday. Anto did the inspection, even though we brought the car in late on the Friday before Memorial Day. When I went to pay for the inspection, Anto ripped up the repair paperwork and told me there would be no charge. I can't say enough about my great experience at this shop! read more

I am so happy to have found an honest auto repair shop. They provide excellent customer service and great work at a reasonable price.

Service was amazing... Anthony is awesome. He was so honest with me. As a single woman mechanics often try and overcharge you but Anthony's prices were so reasonable. He was super fast in diagnosing my S550. Got everything done in less then 24 hours. Couldn't be happier. Thanks again for making things easy. read more

They are very friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be going back any time my car is giving me trouble!

Over the last 3+ years Anto has dealt with innumerable issues for our cars (us, 2 sons and 2 girlfriends). He has also been an honest broker about the state of a few cars that we have purchased. Always helpful and fair. I have never been disappointed with the service or the price. read more

I've been taking my cars to Paul's for almost 5 years and never had a bad experience. Whether its routine maintenance or those pesky warning lights, Anto and his staff are always able to take care of the issue. He always has time to fit me in when I have that unexpected emergency. They all go out of their way to make sure every customer is satisfied. I highly recommend them...if you want honest service at fair prices from friendly professionals...this is the place! read more

One of the best mechanics and is the only one i go to. trust worthy and good at what he does. You will never have to come back for the same problem read more

Anto, has been my go to guy for many years. He is honest, reliable, and fair. I have recommend many of my friends to him and have heard only great reviews. If you are looking for a repair shop that you can trust, I highly recommend Paul's Auto. read more

You never know with all the auto repairs around....Paul's came highly recommended to me from a family friend who has been going there for years...I was happily suprised - they have great customer service, fair prices and are super honest. read more

this place just reamed my 68 year old mother for $2000! my sister's car was running rough so my mom asked her neighbor for a referral. well I just looked at the bill and I am outraged! my sister said the car is still running rough because they fixed everything that wasn't an issue. they changed the front and rear brakes and the front and rear shocks, which wasn't a complaint. they changed the air conditioning belt, also not a complaint, and it still doesn't work properly. they changed the spark plugs and wires but not the distributor cap nor did they do a computer tuning, so that's not even a complete tune- up which is all she needed in the first place! I'll update my review later after we take it to my mechanic, which I told her to take it to in the beginning. oh and they replaced a four month old battery that still had a warranty and then recycled it without our permission so we can't even use the warranty now! my dad was a mechanic so my whole family knows about cars except my mom and it's sad that we can't even trust a business to help her when we can't. totally disappointed! read more
