I would give Tom, the owner, 10 stars if I could. A relative referred me to Rosemead Auto Repair for a soft brake issue, and I'm extremely grateful they did. Tom was honest, professional, and efficient from start to finish. He initially quoted me for replacing two parts, but when the issue was not fully resolved to his standards, he replaced several additional brake components at no extra charge. That level of integrity and dedication is hard to find. My brakes now feel strong and responsive, and I'm very pleased with the results. It's reassuring to find a mechanic I can truly trust with the safety and performance of my car. Tom does outstanding work, and I highly recommend Rosemead Auto Repair. read more

Tom and the guys at the shop are great. I drive an older car that started leaking oil and I went to multiple shops to get the leak fix and they were unable to. I was recommended to come here by a friend and they were able to fix the leak in one shot and since that time i've just trusted the care of my car to this shop. The prices are reasonable and the work is good. They are a bunch of standup guys. Just hit Tom up to get your estimate and then take it to the shop. read more

Quick and inexpensive oil change. My brother took his Lexus here and got off in 30 minutes! Thank you! read more

Tom is great!! He is honest and fair!! I have take my Toyotas and Honda to him, and all cars continue to run well!

I'm disappointed in myself for not leaving a review until now. This is my go to spot for all my cars. I trust Tom 100% and whatever he recommends I know he's not trying to rip me off. His employees are also amazing and they work diligently to get your car taken care of in a timely manner. So happy I found this place after I lived in the area. read more

Tom is great with explaining charges and services every time when I come. There may be a waiting period sometimes because everyone trusts his services. Great shop for all Toyota and Lexus owners. read more

Tom and his crew are great! Very honest, no up-sales like at Longo. I'll be bringing in my old Camry here from now on. I highly recommend them, especially if you have an older Toyota. They will take good care of your car. read more

The owner Tom is an awesome and trustworthy person! I have been taking mine and my wife's Lexus here for over 10 years. Always great service, never tries to change me for a repair I don't need and takes care of me every time! Everyone there is very knowledgeable kind and professional! You will definitely get taken care of and have your car fixed right at Rosemead Auto Repair. read more

Rosemead Auto is hands down one of the best shops around! Tom, the owner, is incredibly honest and always looks out for his customers. They use quality Toyota or Honda oil, prefer OEM parts, and will give you options without upselling unnecessary repairs. The team does the job right, guarantees their work, and best of all, their prices are very reasonable. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic, this is the place to go! read more

Tom and his staff are amazing. I used to only take my car to the dealer and get gouged, never solving the problem. Tom looked it over and solved the problem. I will forever take my vehicles to him read more

Tom earned my trust a long time ago, so I keep coming back to him despite now living in the Inland Empire. His prices are competitive, often cheaper than most, and you're not going to be paying for work you don't really need. He will always try the less pricey solution first, in case that solves the problem, and he's never charged me for diagnosing the problem. So, since I'm on a tight budget always, I come to him first to determine what I need to have done and not done. read more

Tom and his crew are the nicest mechanic out there. They go above and beyond their duties to take care of customers. They know what they're doing and their pricing is great. I would refer anyone to go to them especially if they have Toyota or Lexus to get their services done. read more

Not much to say except does the job. Came right at opening time to get the oil changed quickly. Otherwise you have to leave the car and come back later. That's how buys they can be. COME AT 9am but be prepared to leave the vehicle if needed. Synthetic oil change for small sedan, tire rotation and brake light bulb change ($8). Total was $85 to give you an idea. read more

Amazing customer services Reasonable price Honest consultation Quick repair turn around read more

Tom at Rosemead Auto Repair comes through once again. When it comes down to figuring out the issue with your older car, there's really nobody more talented and honorable. They always repair things conservatively. Whether it's a small job or a major job, the job is always done right. Recently, I had an OEM starter and alternator replaced, and the price was very reasonable. The job was done in time and very professionally. And now that they carry Amsoil products, I am excited and confident about having them maintain my 24-year-old Toyota running in top condition until it reaches 400,000 miles. read more

I can't say enough good things about Tom and his shop. Tom actually saved me thousands of dollars by just being honest and a good person. Highly recommend these guys. Be aware, they are very very busy already, but there's a reason for that, they do great work. Salute to Tom and his guys. read more

I was going to take my car to Longo Toyota to swap out a bad alternator and they quoted me $1089.64 parts and labor not including taxes. That is so freaking steep. So then I asked for just the part itself and it was $369.00 tax not included. This is why I am no longer taking my car there. They really gouge you. I started looking for other places to get the alternator swapped out. My brother in law suggested this establishment. I read all the reviews before hand and they all consistently say the same thing, he is honest with reasonable prices. I called in before to see if I needed an appointment. Tom answered and told me it is first come first serve. My car is a toyota sedan that is about 10 yrs old. I asked him what parts he uses and he answered Denso (which is a toyota parts manufacturer). I let him know that my battery indicator came on. I tested my battery and it was good so that meant it was my alternator that has gone bad. Asked him for a quote and he said 350 parts and labor not including tax (final prices was $369). Took my car in 2 days later and met him in person. He greeted me and was very nice and courteous. He told me it would take about 1h 30mins to swap out. He did it in under an hour. Checked over my car and told me it was in good condition other than my bad alternator he swapped out. He was good to his word. Honest, reasonable, quick and reliable. Speaking from just my experience this is one of the best cars shops I have been to. I took my car on a Wednesday morning. So depending on when you take you car your wait times may vary. As for some of the bad reviews that state he doesn't work on non- Toyota vehicles, even though there are reviews on here for non toyota vehicles, you have to know that other car brands use toyota engines and parts under the hood. So if he could have repaired or replaced those parts he would. Otherwise those people with vehicles that have non Toyota parts to take it back to their dealer or a shop that services those vehicles. Going to come here to service my cars from now on! read more

I found this place on Yelp and the reviews were all stellar. So I took my Toyota Prius in, my headlights weren't working. I had been quoted some crazy prices at other locations, so I gave Rosemead Auto Repair a try. Now I understand the great reviews. Tom and his guys fixed my headlights for a fraction of what other places were charging. They were super fast, super nice, and incredibly professional. They also changed my wiper blades for a good price. He also said he'd do an oil change when it was time. So I am DONE going to the dealer and getting fleeced. If you have a Toyota or Honda or something similar that needs some work, look no further than Rosemead Auto. Highly, highly recommended! read more

Tom and his team are amazing. Oil change & brake replacement . Honest & fair pricing. I live in chino ca. the drive is worth it. Very hard to find reliable, competent mechanics who are honest . Thank you Rosemead auto ! read more

Tom and his crew do a great job! I was referred by a friend, to stop by this place for an oil change and I did- quick, easy, honest and to the point. I later brought the car in for a new starter; after some info, Tom gave me options and kept it honest from beginning to end. I got a new starter, throttle body de-dunked for $506. (Half of what the Honda dealership quoted) AND cleaned up the battery for free AND got my JellyBean back within a couple of hours. Give him a call! read more

I always bring my car here. I always feel like I can trust Tom and his crew! And they always do such a great job!

This auto repair shop is one of the best, if not the best!! Tom and his crew have helped with my car multiple over the years with great work. Tom has always been fair and there has never been any issues. It may not be the cheapest, but it's fair and you get what you pay for. read more

Tom's gives it to you straight. No unnecessary "additional services". and you pay a fair price for the service you get. You will definitely save more going to him than Longo. I called him one Saturday letting him know that my maintenance light came on for my Camry hybrid. He asked if it's been 10k since my last oil change. I said no. He said I can check it for you, but you're probably good. Toyota just wants you to go in to pay for an inspection. These types of interactions is exactly why I trust Tom. You should definitely give him a try. read more

Honest hard working mechanics. Reason why I haven't stoped coming here. Big plus if you have a Toyota vehicle. They use genuine factory Toyota oil and parts. read more

My 2014 toyota 4runner limited had a rear passenger axle leak. Brought my car to this shop, walk in and greeted by the owner Mr. Tom Phan who immediately gave an estimate which was affordable enough compaired going to toyota delership. He did an exellent clean job. He deals with all model toyota cars and uses OEM fluid and parts. Not to mention he communicates and gives updates with the repairs. I was glad and happy to find a mechanic you can trust your car with. read more

Rosemead Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Rosemead, California

See all

No appointment needed. Must call for availability before dropping off your vehicle. So I called, the owner said the shop can't take anymore vehicle for the day. I told him it was my only day off and my engine light has been on for sometimes. He told me to take a photo of the dashboard and send it to him. He replied instantly that I needed an oil change, he told me to stop by after lunchtime. The mechanic also inspected my brakes, reminded me that brakes service is need on my next oil change. read more

Tom is Amazing!!! Took 2 tries and a new to me ignition coil but my 2007 Pontiac Vibe, which had over 300,000 miles (Toyota engine) is humming along again with a new engine. Great work and they guarantee it. read more

The man was very unfriendly. He told me my car was dying and that it was an engine problem. I asked, "are you sure?" AutoZone just told me that I needed to replace the sparkplugs. He said, "It was a waste of time, but fine, I'll do it". He tried to charge me $200 for the spark plugs when they cost $15.99 each at AutoZone (4 spark plugs were needed). I even bought the spark plugs from AutoZone and he still was giving me grief. Saying, he would prefer not to do it as your car is dying. I went elsewhere and they were able to replace it and my car is running just fine. The guy really needs an ego check. read more

Been coming here for years for regular oil changes on my Lexus. Tom and his team are always helpful and super quick. They use mats on the car floor to keep things clean. When i plan a drive to vegas or other places i'll ask for a checkup and they will give me honest answers on what should be looked at. I have had my brakes fixed a few times over the years with great results - and a fair price. Weekdays are recommended as they get quite busy on weekends. Mornings seem to be better. read more

Everything they've said is true. Tom is an honest business man. I brought car in for oil change and brakes, i was surprised to hear a business man say i could wait on the brakes if i wanted. Wow. He even charged less than quoted for the oil change. This is my place now, extremely happy. read more

Pros: 1. They use original toyota oil. 2. The price was reasonable. Cons: 1. Wait time was relatively long. I had to stay around 100 minutes for oil change although per their recommendation, I went there early in the morning. 2. Tom was handling his business relatively well, but he was not patient with questions. In overall I rate his customer service below average. Specifically, after asking almost any question, I either recieved a cold answer or did not get enough details. In overall, I recommend it. read more

Our car had an issue with the brakes and we needed to have it towed in and diagnosed. The guys here were incredibly responsive and nice. Gave us a diagnosis at no cost and was able to service our car within 24 hrs and ready for pick up. Prices were super reasonable too - glad we went here instead of wasting our money elsewhere! Will be back if we have any other car issues. read more

Here's what I needed done on my Lexus RX -- (1) tuneup w/ spark plugs, (2) 4 shocks & mounts, (3) front axles, (4) front sway bar links, (5) front lower control arms Received quotes from several shops including the dealer. They all wanted close to $3k and the dealer wanted $7.5k!! Rosemead Auto? After a bit of haggling, the total bill came to $2426. They were able to combine the labor on several items and save me $$$. I did not know another shop that would do that!! Would love to bring my Jag here but they only work on Japanese imports (I think). My whole experience was painless and professional. Highly recommended! read more

I have been going to this place since 2013 for both my car and my mom's car as Tom is dependable and honest for recommended car maintenance or repairs. I recently did oil changes, a brake fluid exchange, and a car battery replacement and as usual it was done professionally with quality parts (such as Toyota and Honda brand motor oil) and the pricing is very competitive. I have used auto dealerships and other independent auto shops in the past (before year 2013) and I've had so many bad experiences such as recommendation of unnecessary maintenance or repairs--it can be hard to find a dependable and trustworthy auto repair shop and I am glad I found this place back in 2013 via a Yelp search. read more

My Son's Prius V catalytic convertor was recently stolen. Contacted Tom about ordering a replacement. He was very up front and honest about it, letting me know that there were so many orders for them that they were on backorder at Toyota and that it could be 6-8 mnth. wait. Needed the convertor so we placed the order anyway. After a 2 1/2 mnth. wait the convertor arrived, was installed and car now drives like new! We also had a shield installed. Tom charged a very reasonable price and they were very quick completing the work! I have another Prius and will be taking it to Tom/Rosemead Auto Center for future maintenance and repairs! Top notch service at reasonable prices! read more

Tom is a straight up honest businessman whom I wholeheartedly recommend for repairs on a Toyota/Lexus. Tom quoted me a fair price and a very reasonable time assessment for repairs. Both came in at or under quotes. Tom truly cares about quality of product and service. He uses only OEM parts and his mechanics, Hong in particular who worked on my car, are knowledgeable professionals. It's no wonder why this shop has so many 5 star reviews, they are well deserved. Thanks again Tom! read more

Great service and considerate. I brought my Honda for service because i couldn't figure out what the issue was. They took a few ours to figure out that it needed a throttle body adjustment. They were honest with me the entire time and prioritized making the repair the least expensive possible. I found a great mechanic and will be taking my car in for service again. read more

Tom and his crew are very knowledgable about cars, especially Toyotas and Hondas. They fixed my brake lights really fast and the charge was very reasonable. They also do oil changes with genuine Honda or Toyota oil and filters. I need 0W-20 oil and when I asked about the oil change price, it was less than what I was paying at one of those 30 min oil change locations. I'll be coming here more often now. read more

I've been a regular at this mechanic shop 3 years ago and I'm so happy that I made the switch. My old mechanic was really impatient with me and my 2005 Prius. I even caught my old mechanic watching a YouTube video on how to change the water pump of my car! But not Tom and his team. They are all very professional, respectful, and their work is great. It's a great price for the value and service that you get. Tom is very friendly and understanding. He picks up the phone when you are calling and accommodates you in his busy schedule. He and his staff is very knowledgeable and will always be honest with you. I come here often to do my oil change and tire rotation. He's a great guy to have in your contacts and he's also very dependable! Thank you Tom for taking care of me and my family. We really appreciate his attention to detail! read more

I've been bringing my Toyota Camry Hybrid here for regular oil changes for the past 3 years and I recommend this place to everyone I know. I've only done oil changes and have not used their other services, so this review is limited to this experience. These guys are great, very professional, honest, and quick. They're upfront about how long the wait or service will take; and they let you know about other issues if they come across them, even if they don't do the repair at their shop (ie. a small hole in my tire). My only constructive comment is they could have a nicer waiting area, but that's a minor thing. And I usually walk over to the shopping plaza at the corner and grab a bite to eat while I wait. read more
