Called Tuesday to set a appointment to drop off my truck . He told me drop it off Thursday instead around 1-2 so I came out of work early . I showed up at 1:30 guy was closing the gate & told me I couldn't drop off truck. Wasted my time.. not a man of his word . read more

I definitely recommend you calling ahead to make an appointment because this place gets busy, and for good reason! Paul really knows his way around a motorized vehicle and is very quick with his work and reasonable with pricing. They even have a tire machine so they can change out tires. I had 2 tires that needed to be changed out and even though he was booked all day, he made some time in between clients to get them changed out. Great work done here...and I'll drive all the way down here from Koreatown for all my mechanical needs! read more

Probably the best mechanics shop experience I have ever had. The owner is extremely down to earth kind of guy, super knowledgeable with all makes and models and a true petrol head for anything with wheels on it. I bring here anything from a sports car for tuning and modifications to a daily driver routine maintenance. Also, it's (from my personal knowledge) one of the few repair shops to start as early as 7am every day and once your in they go right at it, appreciating your time and making sure they won't waste any of it more than they have to. Go with confidence, I'm not local to them but doing and will do the drive every time I have a repair/maintenance need because it's absolutely worth it. Thank you guys! read more

Pro Auto Repair - Should be everyone's go to mechanic. - Transmission Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went for a brake job. The service was great, and fast all at an amazing price. They have a customer for life.

So about 20 years coming here has come to an end after a bad repair and trying to get them to fix it. They couldn't even take the time to look at the issue and kept telling me to come back. So after the 3rd time I had to pay some place else to fix it. I could say more but negativity wont solve my problem. Good luck to anyone else. read more

I recommend this auto repair to anyone locally and want your car fixed at a good price and done in a timely manner. Dude hooked me up when he said he would and faster than I expected. Good work for a good price. read more

Hands down an honest mechanic who'll fix your vehicle the right way at more than reasonable rates! Ask for Paul, he was knowledgeable and helpful in explaining to me my car's issue in detail, and running a breakdown on how fast they'd be able to have me back on the road. Turns out I needed a new control arm, and he offered me a cheaper alternative through an aftermarket part vs an oem part saving me $. Labor rates were also much cheaper than other shops I called earlier in the day. Truly a trustworthy mechanic who is passionate about what he does as he treats your vehicle as if it's his own. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a stress free, no haggle, trustworthy mechanic who'll have you back on the road in no time. read more

So I came here to get my brake pads replaced because of Al C's recommendation. I called ahead of time to see if they were able to do it for my car and they were. I show up the next day, and it turns out they don't have those brake pads in stock.. so I had to go to a nearby Kragen Auto Parts to buy my own brakes. I liked how these guys were fast. There were two people working on my car. If you supply your own brakes, they charge $60 to install them for you. Without, it would be $85 (for my car).. Front and back brakes. read more

I had made a verbal appointment with a guy there, I went there two times to make sure he can do the work. I did double check and he told me to come next week at 7 am and I was ok with that but when I showed up there at 7am he said he is busy !!!! read more

Their mechanic, Paul, is a trustworthy and upfront guy. He's quick and extremely capable when it comes to work and articulates explanations very well regardless if the client has an immense mechanical background or barely know how to check the air pressure in their car's tires. Where as some other shops I have been to will take in a car and goof around for an hour or so before even starting to work, Paul is quick and diligent. Meaning he finishes the work in a timely manner without cutting corners to make up for slacking. This business is definitely worth at least calling over to get a quote before going else where. read more

Honest, good prices, works on motorcycles, takes ownership of their work.

Yes to this place X 1,000,000! I don't know much about cars and am always worried I can't trust any shops with what I need and pricing. But this place is super reliable and honest. Prices are fair and have been lower than others for me. I live in the OC but will come out here because I know this is the only place I can have 100% confidence in their work and estimates. read more

Had my lowering springs installed. Paul and his helper did a good job. They know what they're doing! Pretty quick too! Thanks Paul!

Another great visit with Paul, he installed our high clearance bumper, winch, spacers. Perfect, absolutely perfect job. Wouldn't look anywhere else for our car mods. read more

Came here a many days ago, then a few days after that. I'll explain why in a second. This place is usually very crowded with cars getting different kinds of services done. The first time I arrived there were many cars here and I needed to get my car serviced. The man (I assume is the owner) very abruptly and rudely told me he couldn't help me, come back another day. Two days later I went back and then he says "Sorry I can't help you right now we have many appointments". But guess what?? HE NEVER TOLD ME THEY EVEN MADE APPOINTMENTS THE FIRST TIME! By viewing a comment below from another gentleman, I can tell this is not the first time this guy does that. Seems like he picks and chooses who he tells about the appointment system. Needless to say, I had to go elsewhere because of the lack of customer service, communication and overall professionalism. Stay away from this place unless you don't care to waste your time and be spoken to in a very distasteful manner. read more

I was referred to this business by a guy who formerly used this establishment. I found out that the Father was the mechanic and either retired or passed away. The son runs things now and apparently has no people skills or customer service. So i called in and spoke with the son. I explained the issues i was having with my car and he responded "he'd need to see the car to find out exactly what the problems were " i told him i lived close by and i would bring the car over. He responded, okay. When i arrived at the business the son wouldn't acknowledge i was standing right in front of him. I asked if he was the guy i spoke to on the phone. He replied "i need to make an appointment " i explained i just spoke with him on the phone, and he repeated, "i need to make an appointment! I decided to leave and not call back to make an appointment after already talking to him..... i repeat, i would not ever patronize this business again....!! read more

I live in the valley and After calling around to about 50 different locations who were all quoting me over $150 for brake pads only, I remembered my aunt had mentioned this place but couldn't quite remember the name. After finding the spot on google with a quick search ,I was so happy! Paul and his team were kind, helpful, honest and straightforward. As a single mother who knows very little about cars I was grateful to receive exemplary service without breaking the bank. I will go nowhere else to get my cars fixed. I will refer all of my family and friends. If you are looking for an honest price and quick/friendly service look no further than Pro Auto Repair! read more

I'm gonna describe this place with a few short descriptions: Awesome "father & son" business, knowledgeable mechanics, quick quality service, and CHEAP rates! Even though I live in koreatown, I happily make the trip to Pro Auto because I know they will do a great job without charging me an arm and a leg cuz ain't nobody got time for that. I love you, Paul. read more

Best place to get all your car repairs done in the city hands down. They get the job done right and never over charge. Best part is that the guys there are honest and don't try to get you to pay for things you don't need. Don't go anywhere else, especially if you live in the area! read more

I've come here twice for an oil change and never waited more than 20 minutes. I was in and out. Paul the mechanic was friendly and helpful. Also, this place is at least $5-$10 cheaper than other places. Whether it be serious car issues or the smallest questions, Pro Auto can answer and help you with anything and everything. read more

My clutch went out while I was driving on the freeway. I had called around to a shop near my house to see what they would quote me to replace it. The guy on the other line offered to do it for $950 and it would take the whole day. I took it to Paul, who did it for way less, and he did it in two and a half hours! I was seriously amazed--and now my car has new life breathed into it. So grateful for Paul and his team for being great, honest mechanics who were willing to do it so quickly and for such a great price. Highly recommend! read more

Two nights ago, my car's battery went kaput (see my review of All City Towing for details) and i had them tow my car here The next morning, my trusty mechanic Paul looked at the battery and immediately (and correctly!) diagnosed the problem. He replaced the battery to the right size and changed my terminals. About 20 minutes later, all was well and the car was running again without a hitch He's also willing to answer all my questions and explain in a manner where a non-gearhead like me could understand Paul's definitely a pro! read more

Most honest and fair mechanic I have ever been to. I bring my entire family's cars (Lexus RX, Hyundai Sonata, Lexus ES, Toyota Sienna) here for repairs and maintenance. They always quote me the lowest prices so I don't even bother going to other shops anymore. It's not even low, fair prices, they do honest work and I have never had to come back to complain. I work and live in downtown but always make it out to Paul to work on my cars. It's worth the drive to know I don't have to stress out about the job getting done right. read more

I really love these guys! Not only do they have really reasonable prices, but they are actually honest. This is so rare in mechanics/auto industry of Los Angeles. They don't make up things to charge me for. They are fast. They don't give random times of when things will be done - they are realistic. I believe my little work horse car is still going strong BECAUSE OF PRO AUTO regular maintenance and my choice to take my car there. They have even been gracious in giving me a price break at times when I have gone for oil changes or inspections. I love Paul and his assistant. I will not take my car to anyone else! read more

This was a GREAT place when the father was in charge but now that it's the son handling day to day operations the place has gone down the drain!!! Rude and faulty service are what you can expect now. It's sad. I came here for years and my dad did too but we won't be coming back!!! read more

I've been coming here for years for oil changes, fluids etc..., the owner has been rude with an attitude for awhile now. I tried to be cordial with him but he has an Open Attitude that I couldn't take anymore. I made an appointment with him for a transmission change, I went back a week later to my schedule appointment he canceled on me when I showed up then he lied and said " I meant two mondays away" I would not have been at his shop at 7am without knowing my appointment schedule, then he was upset because I said we already made an appointment for that day, that was the time I knew I can't come back to his shop. He clearly knows me by face because I been a loyal customer for 5 years. The owner use to be respectful but now I believe I have to take my service else where. Poor customer service, respect is everything. read more

The father need to return. The son is rude as hell. I will say I like the Hispanic mechanic. I don't know his name but he is friendly. The son is running people away and taking people's hard earned money. I was quoted a price by the dad and he just so happened wasn't there and the son overcharged me by $300. Never again! read more

I brought my car in because my axel fell out of the transmission (crazy freak accident!). Didn't know what to do so I brought it here. He knew right off the bat what needed to be done, had it fixed within a few hours. I asked other places what they quoted and it was much higher than his rate. This guy knows his stuff and is very trustworthy! Very reasonable. Thanks Paul! read more

Excellent work, reliable and so honest. Absolutely the best mechanic I have seen in the Los Angeles area in 30 years. No nonsense, no rip off and fair prices. Paul was the best. I drove from Northern Cal to him because I trust him! read more

So I have a 2002 civic which needed a few repairs, the first place I went to was in the Valley, and I was shocked at the price... So I sought a second option. Asked a friend where he goes and was referred here: 1. The price was much lower here for the same work. 2. The speed and efficiency was noteworthy. 3. Due to my expectation to pay so much more, I decided to get a few more things repaired just due to how grateful I was for the reasonable prices and excellent work. 4. Car spins like a dream. 5. Fast diagnostics and very personable. 6. I live in DTLA and you won't see me at any other mechanic. Summary: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Did an engine swap 2 years ago transforming my v6 to a v8. Price of the swap was spot on perfect price. We had some trouble times but he managed to make everything work. After 2 years of driving the new v8, never had a single problem with the vehicle. Not only this place is just a regular auto shop, this is a performance shop also Paul the owner is an excellent hard worker. Plus he has an ASE degree which is not easy to get. Id recommend anybody to this shop. He gets the job done and is very honest to you. Im coming from torrance area and it is worth the drive to here. read more

Paul and his team are honest mechanics. They let you know exactly what you need and don't try ro sell or coerce you into doing more. Even though the shop is out of the way from my work or my home, I always come here knowing Paul and his team have my best interests in mind read more

A legit honest mechanic really exists... I took 2 cars here to get serviced already. I brought my 2010 Camaro SS recently to install a separate master cylinder reservoir and I couldn't be happier. I also got all the fluids changed the right way... a complete flush and refill. He went thru my car and inspected everything telling me which problems will arise if I didn't fix it soon. The prices are also legit. Thank you Paul and the Pro Auto Repair team! read more

My goto mechanic for any reason! Paul is honest and will tell you what you need rather than what he can sell.

I came in to get my battery replaced. They changed it in about 10 minutes. Quick service. While i was there I asked the guy if he could look at my door because it was making a popping sound every time i opened and closed it. I told him i was at another place and the mechanic there told me my door hinge had cracks and it would break if i didn't fix it. That person wanted to charge me $200. So he looked at it and tightened a screw and my door was all fixed. That is all it needed. I really appreciate the pro auto repair mechanic being honest about the door and fixing it for me for $5. Wonderful, honest service. Thanks! read more

After a referral from a family friend and the fact that the shop was about 5minutes away from my house, I went to Pro Auto Repair this morning around 7:30a. I explained my car was leaking coolant to what I assume the shop owner. He told me to open my hood. Next, a car pulls up, which is a little bit before 8:00a, turns out to be Paul, the mechanic. He was told what the issue could be with my car, so he goes and retrieves a pump and water, which he pours into my radiator. Long story short, I needed a new radiator. I asked how much, he said parts and labor $275 and it should take 3hours to complete. While I waited for my ride, Paul made a call, and the part was delivered within 15-20mins. Paul began working on my car a little bit after 8am and was done in less than two hours. He was finished in enough time for me to enjoy my Saturday. I can definitely say I will be back for an oil change in a few months. Great job and service. read more

Paul is the best mechanic in Los Angeles, hands down. Maybe even the world. No worries about getting ripped off here, just great quality, great service, great prices. read more

This guy is super nice, quick, and efficient. I have only gone there so far for simple service checks. However I plan to go there as my main mechanic from now on. I am very impressed by the kindness, reasonable prices, and level of service read more
