Felt the need to post about this awesome automotive shop because it's new and more people should know about it. Chris and Danny run this beauty of a shop, and they can help you out with both simple car maintenance (oil and brake changes) to both more involved mechanical repair work (transmission replacements) and custom modifications. I saw all kinds of cars in their shop -- American muscle, Japanese, and Euro cars. I had Chris and Danny help me out with a coilover suspension swap and a paddle shifter installation on my Infiniti G35. They were able to swap out my suspension in a matter of a couple of days. The paddle shifters were special order from Japan (thanks Chris!) and came stock only on JDM-spec cars, so they required a little more time to figure out and wire in. With little information available on the internet, Chris and Danny were able to create a custom bracket to mount the shifters to my steering column and were able to figure out the wiring so paddle shifters performed as they should. They also advised me on other work that might need to be done in the future on my car. They also replaced a water pump on my gf's Volvo S60 that was causing a check engine light. As a result of their work, the car passed smog. In this world of new cars that have a lot of electronics, Chris and Danny are not only computer technicians but also mechanics. They are friendly, quick to respond to phone calls and texts, reasonably priced for the top notch level of service they provide, and, most importantly, honest. Do not hesitate to make the Lab Automotive your go-to place for car repairs and modifications. read more

After having to call Triple A 3 times and going to Auto Zone twice I found these guys on Google map on top so I called Chris said bring it in so had to jump my car again just to get to them. So when I got there explained my situation well long story short I told him tired of the run arounds he said don't worry this will be your last stop! He was right him and his brother Danny got down and figured it out I needed a new battery! Damn makes me start to question Triple A and auto zone!?! Anyways I would definitely bring my car back to the brothers and recommend them as well! read more

First of all, Chris and Danny are amazing! As a women it is a daunting task to go to an auto shop. I went in to get my ac fixed. It was done in a timely manner and now it works great! Just in time for this California heat. Danny is a highly skilled and knowledgable technician. I love how he took time to explain the whole diagnosis and the execution process of the repair. He takes pride in his work and it shows. At The Lab Automotive, it truly is costumer first and quality work. They are honest and are not trying to sell you something you don't need. I did appreciate when they did notify me about potential problems. I will be coming back for all of my automotive repairs. read more

We will be taking our here for all of automotive needs. The quality of both their work and customer service are excellent! They literally go the extra mile for their clients. For example we recently purchased a 77 Corvette for my husband's 50th birthday sadly it broke down while we were on the freeway, so we had it towed over to the lab that afternoon, Needless to say the birthday boy was extremely bummed out thankfully within 24 hours they were able to diagnose the problem repair it and return the car to my husband putting a smile back on his face!!! I am truly grateful to The Lab Automotive, Danny, Chris, and Dave for their automotive expertise! read more

This has truly been one of the best independent auto place I have ever been to. And I have been to a few but this one has been far by the best super professional and very honest mechanics. And as a woman it's even harder to find someone who is trustworthy and isn't willing to rip you off. Highly recommend this place to everyone!! read more

Chris and Danny are awesome people and even better technicians. The professionalism these men displayed when it came to customer care and transparency is outstanding. I had them install a few items for my Subaru and during the process Chris took various pictures as well as noted that something was leaking and his recommendation on repairing the leak. The knowledge these guys posses about various platforms as well as general car maintenance is phenomenal! If you're in the Long Beach area and need a trust worthy shop to get work done at DONT hesitate to bring your car here! read more
