    Shield guard screws
    Mercydel R.

    Was looking for a local auto shop I could trust -- I knew from the first call that this is the one. I told them about another auto shop that recommended several things to fix for my car but they said I'm getting duped because that other shop is trying to make money. I really appreciated the honesty. I went to the shop to get my oil change as well as check for brakes and other things that could be fixed since I'm going on a long drive. They did the work within an hour. I'd say it's best to go here early in the morning on weekdays. I waited while my car was getting fixed and it seems like they knew their customers by name. I went back a week later since I accidentally ran over a piece of tire on the freeway, which left my shield guard open. They fixed it for me at no cost. They deserve every great review they get and I completely understand now why their customers keep coming back. Such loyalty! They earned another customer that will keep coming back to get my car fixed and maintained. It's so hard to trust one especially if you're a woman and auto shops tend to lie about their repairs and prices. Scotty's is my now go-to auto shop!

    Fair pricing and honest work done. I needed just a simple alignment and they did an excellent job. I'd return for work in the future.

    I had front end work done there in 1973. Are the current owners any relation to the original owner? Just curious.

    Yes, Bob retired about a year ago and his brother in-law, Dave took over the shop.

    BEWARE ! I recently had a disappointing experience with a brake and light inspection that felt more…read morelike a money grab than a service. I went to see Pedro for an inspection, which he completed in about 10 minutes. He failed my car, claiming it needed a new axle and a few lights replaced, and charged me $200 for the inspection. He then told me I'd need to pay another $80 for a reinspection after I fixed it. Pedro even suggested that he had a friend right away that could do the repair work, which felt suspiciously like a setup. Afterward, I went to another professional for a second opinion, and they confirmed that the axle replacement was unnecessary. In fact, the vehicle should have passed the inspection without it, just repair lights with new bulbs. I feel like Pedro's service was misleading and potentially a ploy to send work to his friend. I'd caution anyone considering a brake and light inspection with him to get a second opinion before making any repairs he suggests or go somewhere else. Big lesson to learn after paying for a new axle and wheel alignment.

The biggest thing I've noticed recently is the change in the team's attitude. Before, whenever I asked for a small favor or wanted them to pay attention to something, I sometimes felt like I was being a pain. Lately though, it's been the complete opposite. The staff are much friendlier, easy to communicate with, and most of them speak great English. They actually listen to what you're asking for and make the effort to get it done. The wash might take a few extra minutes now, but I'd much rather have that if it means they're taking their time and paying attention to the details. As someone who's been coming here for years, I finally feel like my voice is heard and that they genuinely appreciate their monthly members. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days. If you live anywhere in the San Gabriel Valley, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. I've seen the improvement firsthand, and I hope they keep it up. Keep up the great work, guys!

Not once, but twice in a row. I came to get my van washed about a month ago with Bronze wash. I always get the bronze wash. They didn't vacuum the rear seats and the trunk. They did not wipe my front console, windshield, front dash, and middle console. They did not wipe down the inside of the doors and hatch where it closes to the car. I gave them a pass. It was a hot day. Today, I came with my wife. We brought both of our cars. This time they took time on my van. My wife's car was out 30 min before mine was finished and hers was washed about 20 min after mine went through the wash. Her car was not vacuumed in the rear, the trunk, and the front and middle console was not wiped down. We can still see fingerprints on the front touch panel. My wife had already left. Got home and noticed all of these things. I complained to the supervisor. I told him I've been coming for 30 years. Told him about my last experience. All he offered was to ask my wife to drive back down for them to clean the rest. He said he will double check my van to make sure it's clean. My wife is already home and has already cleaned the mess they didn't clean. I don't know about any other patrons, but you should not have to double check the work. I never did since 1996. There have been a few missed spots here and there, but it was minor. Something's wrong with the operation. It's not the same. I still have a free wash to claim. We will see if these two stars will go to 5 stars. I wanted to give 1 star, but 2 just because they been better. I want it to get their attention to improve. At $35 for bronze service, you guys be the judge.
