This place truly gave me a great experience. Last Saturday evening, my car suddenly wouldn't start. I thought it was a battery issue, but it wasn't. I tried everything I could, but the car wouldn't start. Left with no choice, I waited two days until Monday before having it towed to the dealership. However, a few hours later, I received a call saying they couldn't fix it because it had an aftermarket camera installed and told me to take it back. OMG So, I left the car at a nearby repair shop for a day. I received a call early the next morning. They said they couldn't fix it and told me to take it back.. Not knowing what to do, I got the phone number for this place from a friend who runs a body shop. My friend said that if they can't fix it, nobody can. Trusting him, I left my car there. I received a call early the next morning. They said it was all fixed! My friend was right after all. The owner was very kind, and the staff were also very friendly. I have decided this is the repair shop of my life. If I have a problem again, I don't need to think twice; I can just come here. read more

Such a great knowledgeable shop Chris and Jay gave me the rundown on the problems that I had with my car and gave me options to fix them, they noted down the parts that need to be ordered ordered them and scheduled me for another day to be repaired. They gave me a call when parts were in I scheduled an Uber driver to pick me up when I dropped off the vehicle. They gave me a call when everything was done and it was a great experience. Not many shops like this that are very thorough in their inspection with their vehicles. Hands-down A+ plus read more

Jay and Chris are honest people and do wonderful work. I've been coming here for years and have sent many friends here for repair help!

Went in for an oil change and a check up today and Chris was really helpful,and he did an amazing job of explaining what I should do next trip read more

Did a great job fixing my brakes that another shop did all wrong and also forgot to bleed the lines as well. They work quick and fast. You need to come early since he only has one stall to work. Thanks again for a great job! read more

He is the best. Honest. I have been coming to him for 20 years or more. He has a small shop but mighty!

My car needed an oil change. I went after work and he took me in, no wait. He even changed my coolant fluid and fixed a tire light that was mistakenly on. 10/10 would go again. Definitely coming back. Great pricing. Oil change wayy cheaper than what I paid in Oakland,CA for my Honda Civic 2016. Support this small family business. The kind Korean woman greeted me and I let her know what was going on. read more

Been a customer since 2009. Jay & Chris are great, and I so appreciate being able to fully trust them with my car. Can't recommend them enough. read more

Great service from an awesome team of experience mechanics! Not only do they give you the best rates but they try to ensure you're able to make informed/educated decisions without feeling pressured. I came in for a simple oil change and will return for additional work when able. read more

Jay and Chris are both great, honest mechanics and give excellent customer service. I don't know much about cars and they make sure to let me know exactly what's wrong in terms I will understand lol Can't say enough about them! read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend who had an awesome experience. The first thing my friend told me is that they are very honest mechanics. I would soon find out what he meant. I arrived at their shop with my car smoking. I told them that I had the radiator replaced about 2 years ago and that I may need a new one. After they ran a pressure test, they determined that I needed a brand new radiator cap! Thats it! Like everyone in LA, I need my car. Had they told me you I needed a new radiator I would have not hesitated to pay on the spot. Instead, they were stand up guys and told me it was a small repair for a few bucks, the cost of the cap and the diagnostic! Feeling great, I also told them that my car gave me a screeching sound in the mornings. "Maybe I need a new timing and engine belt" I told them. However, I had just changed it 2 years ago. Mechanic takes a look and touches the belt and says "...nope, these still look as good as new, what you are describing is sound I associate with low power steering fluid." He pops open the cap and is like "...yup, let me top you off and you will be fine." I mean come on! These guys had a guy like me at their mercy and conducted themselves like no other mechanics I have ever dealt with. From now on I will recommend this place to everyone I know. I hope this review helps! read more

Haven't seen Jay for quite sometime since I lease a new car now but he had been my life savior to have repaired my car that I owned previously. He is honest and provides the best service all the time. Last but not least, he is a top-notch mechanic!!! I just cannot thank him enough for all the kindness and help that he provided me with. read more

5 Stars for Sun Service!!!!! Honest, Friendly and great work. Chris and Jay are the best! They know! Diesel Power!!!! read more

See all

My Toyota Prius headlight went out and the maintenance light was on! I dreaded getting pulled over for another Fix-It Ticket!! What an ordeal that is! I called Jay and was able to get in the very next morning and they changed the bulb, and more, while I waited! They also changed the oil, oil and air filters needed changing, and checked brakes, tires, and overall safety. This kind of great personalized service would have taken all day and cost an arm and a leg at the dealership.Can't thank him enough for taking such good care of my care. He has been in business for decades and I vote that he is the Best Mechanic in LA! read more

Jay is amazing .... extremely professional and provides outstanding service. He may not have a fancy location....but Jay has kept our '94 Civic running like no one's business. I cannot find the words to truly express the quality and care provided by Sun Auto Repair - Jay! read more

This shop was hard to find but, once I find it the wait wasn't that long. Jay is a very nice gentlemen make sure I was comfortable while I was waiting for my car brakes to be changed. They did a good job with my car I am very pleased. read more

Love this place fair prices and honest work. This place could have charged me over 1000 for repairs but instead kindly explained that the car is not worth repairing. Make sure u enter from the alley way. Thanks guys will come back over and over. read more

This is a great place to come by and get repairs done ! They are welcoming and easy to locate. There prices are really good. They are quick to get things done and keep you updated.

Wow, talk about on point service. I usually do my own work but I did not have time so I gave SS a shot since they were nearby. Great experience and I did not have to check up on there work, they are trustworthy. Thanks, J. read more

Jay is honest, quick and reliable. I can't recommend his garage any higher. He does as he says, doesn't over charge and his repairs are thorough read more

These guys have always treated me fairly and done good work and always reasonable prices. I'm going to get my headlight fixed tomorrow morning with them. read more

These guys do high quality work while keeping your cost in mind. They will make recommendations first then work to accommodate your budget by taking care of urgent requests first. Hard working dudes making an honest buck, highly recommend. read more

Jay was honest and got my breaks repaired an hour before the estimated time. Great work, honest people. Cheers jay

Awesome service. Super reasonable prices and cool staff. Got the job done quickly and explained the whole process. Will definitely be going back for my auto repair needs. read more

My engine light was coming on randomly along with some sputtering. Jay took a look at my car the minute I pulled in, found something loose and fixed it without charging me. That is the kind of honest mechanic I will be going back to repeatedly! **Make sure to call because they have changed locations to Washington and Arlington--hard to find without directions. ** read more

wow, i was blown away with the service . chris blew me ...away ! great skills and Jay is the master mechanic .. this dude is from japan been here for 20years with his own shop . they rock !! read more

You got the address wrong. New address is 2461 W. Washington Blvd. Hard to find the place at first but the phone number's been the same since my husband and I started going there years and years ago when the owner was still a wild teen. They are the best in reliability, care, checking every detail, honesty, and of course plain old good service at fair prices. My cars would have been lost without them. Make sure to call for appt. Thanks Jay and Chris. read more

This place was a little hard to find, but boy am I glad I found it! I got an oil change, tune up, tire patch, and brake job done with these guys. I just started a new job that requires me to drive my own car out in the field for a few months until I get a company car. I knew that I probably needed brakes done so I took the car in. Both guys there were very upfront, helpful just . . . well, real. They told me exactly what it would cost right away, no BS. Most mechanics I have gone to will give some sort of line like "well, I have to check what the parts will cost and then get back to you" I always get annoyed because I imagine a brake job is pretty common and a good mechanic should know of the top of his head what that should cost. Anyway, they took into consideration my time and allowed me to bring the car early two days in a row and they got me out of there in a few hours each time. I got a lot of work done and never had to rent a car or get a ride from someone. I simply set my computer up in their little lounge room area and 1-2 hours later, I was ready to go. I am not sure if they can do this all the time, maybe I lucked out. But bottom line is that this is the most convenient mechanic I have found. They don't screw around with you on price, they are fair, they are quick and they make sense!!! I just hope that they are not too busy next time. I feel obligated to leave a good review, I just hope that my little secret does not get too busy too fast. Well if it does, they deserve it! Very satisfied. And price was awesome too! read more

Stumbled across this shop randomly when my girlfriend and I were carshopping from a private party and needed a quick car inspection before deciding on purchasing a vehicle in the mid city area. I don't even live in mid-city, I live in Highland Park, but I was so impressed by Jay and his shop that the next time I need my car worked on I won't even think twice about driving across town so Jay can look at it. This guy saved us from buying a used car that on paper looked great but upon closer inspection would have required an additional $1200 in work on top of the purchase price. Jay spent 20 minutes with us dissecting his findings, which he was able to gauge after hoisting up the car and thoroughly running through his inspection checklist. Not only did he run through each potential trouble-spot but told us exactly how much the part would cost, including labor, and gave us a careful breakdown of the pros and cons of doing the work vs waiting a few months. The guy was not pushing us to spend money and buy this car, just so we would throw him business, like other mechanics might do, he was giving us honest advice at what HE WOULD DO if he was in our shoes and how much the used car was truly worth, given the repairs needed on it. The answer in the end..not worth it for the price we were about to pay. The inspection cost us $40, we were in and out in 40 minutes (on a Saturday) and we were saved from potentially buying a lemon that would have cost us tons in repairs done the line. Money WELL SPENT. And to top it all off, Jay spent another 10 minutes recommending the Toyotas and Hondas and specific years and models he thought we should be looking for in our price range. I won't hesitate to recommend Sun Service to anyone I know in need of a mechanic. GREAT FIND! read more

Jay took care of my Mustang for over 10 years. He always did so quickly and for reasonable prices. I never felt like he was trying to scam me and I have recommended him to many friends over the years. He is the rare honest, stand-up guy in the mechanic-verse. read more

As long as I've been in Los Angeles, I've been mechanic shopping. I've never taken my car to the same place twice because I've never been completely satisfied. This has ended at Jay's place. Not only is he knowledgeable, he's honest and he is priced fairly--three qualities I have yet to find all together in any another shop in LA. Some guys are honest and good, but extremely expensive. Others are low priced but don't do excellent work. Etc... read more

If you are looking for that honest mechanic of your dreams, these are the guys! I had gone to a big chain auto service center with a noise in my car. They quoted me over $750 dollars for the work (this is after having only 4 weeks earlier charged me $700 in repairs for a water pump that I don't think needed to be replaced). They told me my power steering pump was dead and that I needed to replace it. I couldn't afford it so I asked all of my friends and someone suggested Sun Service Auto Repair. I called and took it in. In less then 5 minutes, they told me the pump was fine, that I had a leaky hose. They saved me hundreds of dollars. I really appreciate their honesty and workmanship! read more
