I have a 87 Porsche 944 and nobody I called was willing to inspect or service my AC system. I called and spoke with Steve, he told me to bring the car in and he would look at it. He immediately noticed that the AC had been upgraded from R9 to R134 which means the service would be routing. He offered to service the AC while I waited. About 1-hour later I was driving away with the AC blasting S&S has definitely earned my business. Super service, super honest, super impressed. Thanks Steve and crew! read more

S&S Auto Repair - 944 Turbo - Auto Repair Near Me - Bellflower, California

Air conditioner squealing problem on my 2006 Highlander. Steve hoped it was the alternator because that would be less less expensive. He replaced that first, but discovered it was actually the compressor and condenser. Our back in the old alternator and didn't charge for that service. Timely communication, reasonable price. Great service. read more

S&S has done great work for many of my personal, family members, and work vehicles! Anything from a simple oil change to diagnosing and fixing bigger issues, they can handle it. Customer service is great and they're always able to get the work done in a timely manner and for a fair price. read more

I was referred to Steve by my trusted mechanic Jose. I drove there and being my usual self wanted to get service right now because my air wasn't working and it was HOT ! Steve was so kind and assured me that his service will be quick and efficient. He did NOT disappoint. I highly recommend this place the fact his costs are reasonable he explained many affordable options. Thanks again for being professional. read more

Brought my car here for what I thought could've been a potential mechanic failure, but it just turned out to be required maintenance. Received great service from the moment I arrived, and they got to car right away. Before I left the mechanic, going by what I had told him what was that my car did, he thought what it was, and told me what he would do. I asked them to check everything on my car since it was there already, they did. Kept me updated on what was going on with my car, and the parts they replaced saved them to show them to me. They already had great reviews, so I'm just adding to them. Reasonable prices, very honest. First time I've had to take my car to a mechanic, and so glad I found them. Me and my car have a fantastic new mechanic. They're my to go automotive mechanic from now on. read more

I refuse to go back there! Steve ruined it for me. Thanks for the overcharging! Oscar is an amazing guy! But Steve bullies him! Ask for Oscar you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been going to Steve S&s auto since I was 19 years old. I'm now 44. Let me give you a list of what he's done for me. I lived in bellflower for a long time. My first car purchase was a good experience. Eventually my timing belt went out while I was exiting the freeway. I was scared and a lil far away from work. I called him and told him. He sent a tow truck while my co worker picked me up so I can get to work. Keep in mind he never charged me for the tow. He let me know there was a 50/50 chance with the repair it would run again. It did. A couple of years later I wanted to buy a new/ used car. Before the purchase I took it to Steve he did a diagnostic at no charge and gave me the 100 it was good to go. I never had a problem with that car. Fast forward he's the only one I went to for all my other car purchases. There was a time my transmission went out on my Yukon. He suggested I go to the dealer bcz it was almost out of warranty. I did. I paid $100 deductible and got a new transmission for $100. Fast forward to my one and only brand new car that I've always taken to him and it's 17 years old and still running like a champ. Guess what?! My repairs and suggestions to keep it that way came from him. He's taken extremely good care of this car. Fast forward to my very first luxury car purchase. It was making a funny noise. I was all the way in Burbank and scared to drive. I told him what was going on. With his knowledge and experience he assured me it was ok to drive. He waited for me to bring it during my long drive, inspected it while I waited, he actually waited outside for me to get there. While I waited Oscar bout me in and out bcz he knew I hadn't eaten. He found the problem. He could've charged me to fix it but he insisted I go to the dealer bcz having him do the repair would be expensive. So he knew I had a warranty he made me go to the dealership even though I'd rather pay him for the work. I went to the dealer and it was 100% covered. Steve has been my only mechanic ever! My sons forte is working on cars. Steve was a huge mentor in this and now my son is a mechanic for our military. Just recently my very first and only brand new car which just so happens to be 18 years old. He's been the only mechanic that has touched that car. It's motor had to be replaced, most likely bcz I let a friend borrow it for about 6 months. He found me a motor with the lowest mileage. He could've charged me top dollar he didn't. He even fixed all the other stuff that needed to be replaced at no charge. Steve has always been my go to. He's been like a dad to me. I don't care what anyone says about him. He's always taken care of me both financially and with the utmost care as if it were his daughter driving a car. I call him in any dire situation and he has a resolution that gives me comfort when i'm a mess just like a dad. Reading the reviews people have negative things to say about him and Oscar's relationship. Oscar is his son if you're a parent you can relate. He's helping him develop into the one that could potentially take over the business. Who wouldn't appreciate a dad like that?! At the end of the day he's a stand up man that cares about his clients. He's gone way above and beyond for me in the last 25 years, when I was a young woman. He's treated me with the utmost respect and educated me on the mechanics of cars. Hes helped my son understand everything Steve has taught me when he didn't have to. My son now has the education without paying for it. And he's able to do mostly what Steve does it's just for the military. Steve has even encouraged him to be somewhat of an intern to strengthen his skill to be as successful! You can't put a price on that. He didn't. I don't care or believe the negative reviews about him. It doesn't matter bcz I know he's alway had my best interest in mind. Hell he even recommended a body shop to fix my daughters car that the insurance company wanted to deem salvaged. 10,000 is what the repair shop wanted. He referred me to his colleague it costed me 2,500. It would have deemed it a total loss. He's always looking out for the best case scenario. That's why I would say to anyone he's the real deal! If you need a good stand up mechanic, he's your guy!! He's a good man and I can always depend on him. Needless to say my new car is Audi Q7 prestige. I didn't get an extended warranty only stuck with the manufactures bcz I know financially he's going to take care of me. Which will save me thousands of dollars in interest. Not only that repairs that are partially covered I can still rely on him to take care of it for a fraction of the cost from the dealer. At the end of the day I'll always go to S&S auto. For those that aren't happy with his service don't deserve his work. I feel safe knowing that my safety is his priority! read more

Steve and his son Oscar are a dynamic and professional duo. They know their stuff and provide quality service with a sense of respect and urgency. Steve quickly diagnosed a complicated electrical blower/ac relay issue that I have been searching to fix for months. Steve is grumpy and direct but honest and knows his stuff. Oscar is friendly and warm and takes his time to explain the issues and solutions. Together they make this place a pleasure for both the person looking for the feel good and the technical person looking for professional help bc they are having trouble figuring the issue out themselves. Go to these guys when you need honest and straight forward help for a fair price. read more

Few times a person can be called a master of his craft...here we have a fine example. What sold me on this mechanic is his attention to detail when going through the car when asked. And the rarity of many a few where he will bluntly state what you need and don't! Saving you money as compared to other shops running up cost on unnecessary repairs. Yes it can get a bit costly on the hourly but here you do get what you pay for and that is a master mechanic. The level of confidence to also say to you that if it is beyond the scope of his work to repair your vehicle. Which that in its self is huge in this industry. These guys saved me from a costly repair mistake at other shops I went too. If you need anything from an oil change to something bigger stop by this place , all grade A work read more

I stopped by today for service. As always service is amazing. It makes me feel comfortable that I have a reliable mechanic that will tell you exactly what's needed for your vehicle. He would never do anymore or less than what's needed. Steve os very direct and I like that about him. Oscar always goes above and beyond to help. I would never take my car anywhere else. read more

Beware of this guy. He will say that he can fix something and he will not let you know until the job is done and i had to come back and complain that he didnt fix the problem. And not only that i didnt even say anything yet as soon as he sees you he will never stop giving you excuses and will be yelling at you at the same time. He doesnt care about customers rights wowwww read more

I Was recommended here by Jose from Jim's Auto repair for Air conditioning work and Dropped my 2002 VW GTI today. I was happy with Steve's professionalisms and dedication to satisfaction very honest guy, highly recommend. Thanks again Steve + Oscar read more

Steve and Oscar are honest, friendly, and reliable guys to work with! I have taken all of my cars to them for any kind of service, and never had any issues. Highly recommend S&S Auto Repair! read more

WHERE DO I BEGIN. God must have led me to this place, because without the help and knowledge from Steve, who knows where I would have been. Being an 18 year old with little to know knowledge of cars, i came to Steve with a few questions about a car I wanted to buy, which later led to him doing a full inspection of the vehicle, only to tell me me that there was a potential issue with the engine. Long story short, Steve made sure that I didn't end up with a junky used car, and helped me and guided me through buying a much better one. His expertise and thorough knowledge in all aspects of automobiles saved me thousands of dollars in the car buying process. THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. I will forever take my cars to S&S because I KNOW they will be meticulously taken care of!! read more

My daughter's schedule is such that she has no free time between work and school. She was having issues with her car. I live in San Diego. I called and talked to Steve and he tried to come up with a way that I wouldn't have to make the drive up there, but we couldn't. He saw us first thing in the morning and totally took care of us. He made sure to go over the whole car and told my daughter to come back in 2 weeks for him to check the oil level was still good. He was very reasonably priced and I feel confident in telling my daughter to use him as her regular mechanic. It was an awesome experience. read more

This place is a waste. Not getting into details but I for sure will never go back. The smog guys in the same lot are great and I'll keep going back to them but the owner of s&s is probably the worst mechanic/business owner I've ever encountered. I hope we don't cross paths again. Don't go to this guy, there are so many more honest, respectful mechanics nearby. Don't waste your time here read more

I had my air conditioner recharged here. They tested the car for over a half hour and said there were no leaks, and recharged it for around $90. 3 weeks later the A/C stopped working. When I came back, they said the compressor seals were bad, and it would cost $600 to fix. So they couldn't tell the compressor was bad after testing for almost an hour? Seems fishy to me. Don't waste your time and money. read more

This place does a comprehensive job when they work on your vehicle and Steve really knows his stuff and cares about his customers. I have been there several times and he always shows me the old parts and explains what he is doing. They also have reasonable rates. Recently I went there for only an oil change and he realized I needed new brake pads. I was just at the dealer less than two weeks before with a safety check and they missed that entirely. I'm driving safer now because I went there! read more

Steve is now my go-to guy! Fixed my air conditioner pretty quickly because I needed my car for a weekend trip (and I would have died without a functioning A/C), and he even has great recommendations for other places in the area if your car needs work his shop doesn't do, like body work. read more

Steve has done lots of great work on my Ford F-150!! He's the best in town for sure ! He is honest very thorough, I would definitely recommend S&S Auto to friends and family alike. He has also done great with my wife's Honda Civic. read more

This place is very clean!! Steve is very PROFESSIONAL. All the staff are polite. Highly recommended!!! read more

Steve has been servicing my vehicle for a few years now. Everything from major and minor items. Mechanical or electrical, its always good work. He also stands behind his work. I had a minor issue with some door locks he installed. He instructed me to bring it back and he'll take care of it no questions asked. Prices are pretty good too. One thing i like about him is he explains in detail whats going on with your vehicle and what needs to be done and why. Then gives you a few options on repairs. When you come to pick up your vehicle he proceeds to show you the bad part he changed out and the problem it was causing. Good, honest mechanic in my opinion. read more

My family friend for 47 years strongly recommended S&S Auto repair, thus for the last six years they are doing all the service jobs in my two cars. When my wife wanted to buy a German luxury brand, I told her that if you buy a Japanese brand which S&S motors can work on, then I will take care of the car for service trips. She did. The friendly employees-super technical service and the lowest charge make the difference; thus their loyal customer base is rapidly increasing. Chris who is working there for a very long time is like a family friend taking care of the service needs likewise. All the best wishes and prayers. read more

PEACE OF MIND is what you'll get here. I bought a beater car about year ago and I must say that Steve has pretty much brought back to life! Although, he still advices me to get a better one but that's how I know I'm good hands, his honesty; not to mention great skills and knowledge. Steve, I promise I won't make my next used car purchase without you. I pray that the Lord may continue to bless you, your family, and business :) read more

Not a place to take your car. Steve is courteous but wont work with you. He says hes too busy to expedite any work, although his mechanic had said no problem and he could finish the job quickly, steve - not be challenged told me that I don't know what I'm talking about. Naturally I don't - cos I'm not a mechanic!! But, when you and your OWN mechanic disagree... in front of a customer... well it makes me wonder if you know what you're talking about!! Try somewhere else -doesn't' exude alot of confidence. read more

I called last minute to schedule an appointment to get my car air conditioning fixed, and they accommodated me right away. I dropped my car off and was greeted by both of the owners, Steve and Oscar who are so awesome. They were able to fix my car within a couple of hours and offered unparalleled pricing and service. They make sure to take care of your needs rather than scamming you, being the young woman I am I didn't feel as if I was getting taken advantage of like most shops or dealers tend to do. The cost breakdown was clearly communicated to me and they went above and beyond in making sure I was well taken care of; I totally recommend. read more

Outstanding customer service!! I see you guys in couple months and.. of course I will go to my favorite guy Demetrius read more

Steve was great! I know nothing about cars and he explained exactly what was going on in a way I could understand. Honest and fair prices. Definitely recommend. read more

I've been getting my vehicles serviced at S&S for over ten years and consistently the service received has been excellent. Steve replaced the radiator and water pump on my 1984 Ford pickup this past week and as usual Steve did a great job. What I especially like is that I get a thorough explanation of work to be done and charges are very competitive. But truth be known the confidence and trust Steve has earned over the years by his workmanship and customer service, I wouldn't think of even trying any other place no matter how cheap. read more

I took my truck to get the AC system checked and fixed. For some reason other repair shops couldn't figure out why my AC system kept shutting off after 10 min of use. I should have taken it to S&S from the start! I trusted Oscar and Steve to take care of the problem. After just 20min of leaving my truck in the morning, I get a call from Steve and he told me what parts needed to be replaced. Without any hesitation I told them to fix it, now me and the gf are riding very comfortably with ice cold ac! Thanks guys! Will definitely be sending family and friends for AC work. read more

I got a referral from another shop when the AC on my car went out. They were speedy, instructive, and well-priced. He showed me all the bad parts and what was wrong with them. Also, got a little lecture about the appropriate color of transmission fluid. I'd been neglectful to my car but I really want it to keep running so I'm glad I found these guys. Highly recommend. read more

We have been taking our cars to Steve for several years. Just recently we took one in that needed a water hose and he noticed other things that needed attention both now and in the future, things I'd forgotten about and things didn't know about. He doesn't upsell. There have been times In the past when I've brought it in and he's told me I don't need the service I've asked for. I know I can trust him. He is always courteous and professional, tells it like it is, and gives us a competitive price. He backs up his work. There was one time my car's headlights weren't adjusted quite right, and he put me at the front of the line to fix them the way I wanted. Oscar and the other guys there are kind and courteous as well. I would recommend if you need your car fixed, go to Steve. You won't regret it. read more

Steve appears to be a straight forward and no nonsense guy. He took his time to answer and explain all my questions. I will go back to get my air conditioner serviced and would recommend him to friends. read more

I love there great customer service but most of all I love there good work and honest.. I been taking my Lexus there for 2yrs now.I have recommend this shop to my friends and family which now go there for any car issues. read more

Everyone is very sweet and go my AC fixed right away and I came late right before they closed. So far so good . This might be my go to place. read more

BAD EXPERIENCE - Took my '78 ElCamino to them because the "HOT" light would not go off even though the engine was not running hot. They replaced the heat sensor for $103.00 and sent me on my way WITH the hot light still ON! Had another mechanic fix it and brought the bill for the new heat sensor back to S&S for reimbursement. He did not say one word and reimbursed me. NOW - granted new parts are not always good BUT why did he not return the part to the parts store and get a replacement before he considered the job done? And I had to pay 2 mechanics labor fees just the get a heat sensor screwed in!!!!!!! Will never recommend to anyone! read more

Horrible. I was getting a smog next door and asked the owner of this shop if he could fix my AC because there was a leak. I pointed out exactly where the leak was. he said yes no problem. Took my truck in for repairs of AC $160 later he said he didn't find a leak but he refilled the freon bc it was empty (obviously from the leak) and the air was cold. It was not cold when I told him he said to drive it awhile. This was Saturday afternoon. I didn't drive it again till Monday and when I used it it started to smoke. Called he was not there, took it back tuesady low and behold he found the leak right in the same exact spot I told him it was at. Then he says he can fix the leak NOW for about another $400 something dollars but he needs to go under my engine. He then took all the freon he put in out and said he owes it to me. Didn't trust the guy so I asked for my money back. He refused saying he'll just give me the freon. I don't want him touching my car again. Had to go fix my AC with a mechanic who did it right the first time. Now I'm out $160. Not cool. I paid for something I didn't not receive. He took the freon back!!!! Wish I could give 0 stars read more

Okay the gave me a great price on the A/C. I thought I had finally found the ideal place to take my vehicles but.....big but. Yes Oscar is the nice guy and wants to help but whom he helps I'm not sure. He is a pawn that works for his boss and his boss works on profit. So I take my vehicle to get the AC serviced on Friday. They call me Saturday and when I go to pick up my truck the manager/boss intercedes and begins to tell me the truck has a problem with the ignition switch as well. I check it and everything is fine. He then says well "your pump or something is also making a noise, I check everything and I found something making a noise.". I begin to regret taking my truck there......I should have known it was too good to be true and only one other review tells me little about this place. Perhaps others are avoiding this place for a reason. I leave hoping that nothing will go wrong and cue the dramatic music. The next day steam emerges from my hood. The problem..(dum dum dum dum-read in musical dramatic tone) the WATER pump. I call the place up and speak with Steve about this dramatic Coincidence. It is safe to say that neither of us were happy and he quotes the repair at another three hundred dollars......there is his additional profit. It's true what they say. You get what you pay for. From now on I'm taking all of my business to John Kim at Kim's auto repair in Hawaiian gardens. The guys honest and straightforward from the start. I know what the "S" and "S" stand for in my book! read more

Summertime and the living is easy...except if your ac ain't cold. I went in to get my ac recharged and Oscar hooked me up. I called around and this shop was nearly 50% less than the others. On top of that Oscar is a super nice guy. He seems to love cars and is full of tips and advice. It's hard to find good people in this world, even harder to find an honest mechanic. I think Oscar is one of the good ones. I'll be back at sns when I need help with my whip. read more

I read the other reviews for S&S Auto, and I was really disappointed to read what Rob C. wrote. First off, this is a family owned business. Oscar is not a pawn. Oscar is a knowledgeable young man, and 'the boss' is his father, who has been in the auto repair business for many, many years. I've been doing business with them for over 10 years, and have never had anything other than perfect service from them. They've even driven me home when I've had to leave my car with them for the day for repair. They've taken my car to have tires put on it. They've handled getting it smogged for me, even though they don't actually have the facilities in their own shop to do that. They always go the extra mile. They are honest as the day is long. My husband's car has almost 200K miles on it, and that's because Steve and Oscar keep an eye on everything, and have been caring for it since it had 75K miles on it. My family, who are scattered all over southern California, come from as far as 80 miles away to have their vehicles fixed and serviced. My doctor has his car fixed there...my brother...my sister...my mom. We have never had any problem with any of our car repairs there, and every time we've gone, prices have been more than fair. Service is incredible. I know what the "S & S" stand for too, Rob..."Service" and "Satisfaction". read more
