Irvine and his brother run SMG Auto Repair with a level of honesty and care that's hard to come by. They treat you like family, plain and simple. They're fair, straightforward, and never try to upsell you on things you don't need. I always feel like they have my best interest in mind, which makes all the difference. It's rare to find a shop you trust completely, and this is one of them. read more

This is a great place to get your car serviced! They are honest, have reasonable prices and they do great work!!

I had a great experience at SMG Auto Repair and wanted to give a huge thank you to Irvin (Boss Man!) for taking care of me. I called ahead to ask if they would allow me to bring my own oil and filters for my Mercedes‑Benz GLB 250, and they were completely open to it. When I arrived, Irvin was incredibly helpful, respectful, and professional. He gave me very fair pricing and serviced my car without any pressure to buy extra parts or unnecessary services. Much gratitude for the local coffee shop recommendation, I was able go get work done while my car was being serviced which felt very productive! Getting two things off my to do list work and car maintenance As a woman maintaining my car on my own, I truly appreciated the honesty, transparency, and kindness I received here. They treated me with respect and made the process smooth and stress-free. The service was quick, efficient, and very reasonably priced. I'll absolutely be coming back for future maintenance. Thank you again to Irvin and the entire SMG team for the excellent service! read more

This was my first time going to SMG. My family has been going and trusting Ervin for 20+ years. My dealership program stopped and they wanted too much money for a simple oil change. So finally went to SMG. Very pleased! He does not try to upsell you on things that are needed. I recommend going to them read more

Very pleased with recent experience for service and brake job. Edgar was pleasant and car was ready exactly as promised. Would recommend and will use for servicing and maintenance needs. read more

Both Irvin and Edgar have helped me multiple times, I trust their judgement and all the work I've had done here has held up. Literally, have been coming back for years. They never talk down to me or make me uncomfortable like other mechanics have and they take the time to explain what needs to be done and why. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I've come by at random a few times when my low tire pressure light came on and they've been able to quickly find the issue and patch me up. Highly recommend this place. read more

I just did the requisite annual maintenance check for my Mercedes at SMG Auto Repair yesterday (June 22, 2026). It was a punctual and efficient service, and I was in and out in no time. The charge was very reasonable. It was a great experience, and I want to shout out to both Irvin and Edgar for their professionalism. I had other work done at SMG in the past, and I would certainly trust them to service my car in the future. Actually, it was through word-of-mouth recommendation from friends that I found SMG. And I will certainly recommend it to my other friends. read more

Always helpful, timely, friendly, good explanation, and great service. Been going to Irvin and his brother for years. Feel very fortunate to have him be my mechanic. They are also honest. That's BIG in my book. Thank you!!! read more

Went by for a quick oil change and as always Edgar and Irvin made the process very quick and easy. Chatting with either of them is always a pleasure. Would enjoy hanging around to chat if only they were not busy. We truly recommend SMG if you're looking for a place that's honest, friendly and reliable. read more

These guys are super fast - replaced my brakes, pads, and ABS in like 6 hours. That would have taken at least 2-3 days at Pep Boys or a big chain. Good prices and thorough work (thank you for resetting my codes!). I especially appreciated getting advice on worn tires/parts on my car that I should keep an eye on, with no pressure to get it done there with them. Thorough, fair and fast - what more can you ask for in a mechanic? read more

My guys! They always hook it up. Easy to work with, patient when explaining the diagnosis and or eta for parts. Highly recommend.

Irvin and the guys were courteous and quick! Gave me a fair price and did solid work. 10/10 would come back.

These guys are the best. Fair, honest, and great work. Very trustworthy mechanics, and I feel so lucky to have found them.

Irvin and Edgar are always great at taking the best care of my car. They do great work and are thorough and take pride in what they do! They give me the best care and save me so much compared to the dealership. read more

The most strAightforward trustworthy quick efficient and respectful car repair I've ever found in LA!

Honest, down to earth, fast and affordable from the jump. I've been going to them 3 years (2014 Subaru). They tell you straight up how much wear you probably have left on a part. Sometimes I have to persuade them to sell me work I don't need. If it's tiny, no charge. They were like this even before they got to know me. The only time a repair had issues (new clutch still slightly chirped), they took everything apart again and got it right, no arguments, no charge. Have they now moved? (Jan. 2026.) That would be a loss. read more

I stopped by here 2 times to take care of issues with my 2016 Cadillac ats, the guys know what they are doing, it's fast service at a great price read more

I've been going to SMG Auto for about 5 years and it always is an amazing experience.

Friendly honest fast and smart . That's SMG. I've been getting old chevy worked on and it is running better than it did 5 years ago. Thank you . read more

SMG Auto Repair - Tires Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been coming to this auto shop for 2 years now and they have always been so helpful! As someone who isn't familiar with cars and vehicles in general, they told me clearly what issues were present and how much it would cost. In a world of company's upselling and trying to scam you into buying more things I have never once had that experience here at SMG Auto! Run by Irvin and his brother, not only do they give me the best service possible at a very decent and reasonable price but they never forget you even if it's been awhile since you have last returned! My go to auto repair place and probably always will! read more

SMG did a wonderful job taking care of my 350z. Diagnosed my car within 2 hours and had the check engine light off with the 2 after that! I needed two camshaft sensors replaced and used OEM parts. Very kind and respectful gentleman. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Been getting most my cars serviced here for quite sometime, recently just got a tune up with a change of spark plugs and gaskets as well as a radiator flush. The turn around time was fast, work efficient, and price very competitive. If you in the KTown area and need service to your automobile, I highly recommend SMG, ask for Irving or Edgar. read more

I go to these guys for everything. This was just an oil change, but I called at 9 AM asking if they could squeeze me in for an oil change they said can you make it here by 10A. They did it while I waited. they check the cabin filters , the air filter, stay on top of everything and most importantly they are honest. read more

Reasonable price amazing fast service and great staff! This is my new go to shop highly recommend

Irvin and Edgar went out of their way multiple times to find a replacement Sideview mirror for my 20 year-old car. Their efforts are really appreciated as they were very concerned about getting it fixed so that I would be safe in my vehicle. These brothers always go above and beyond what one would expect from a repair facility. We have been using them for our three cars for as long as they have had the business. I couldn't recommend them higher. read more

Honestly cannot stress enough how great this place is! This is my first review (they just fixed the AC in my car) but not my first time getting service from them! From fixing my throttle a few years ago (they got the part in and did it in a few weeks when the dealership said it would take months) to just helping me to pump air in my tires or to screw in a loose hinge - they are always super honest and give me a fair price! Edgar, in particular, is super helpful and explains everything in ways that make total sense. All around - I feel really lucky to be in the same neighborhood as a great shop like this one! read more
