Fast, thorough and friendly. It was my first time coming to the shop. Won't be my last. I brought in my own replacement part to be placed into the car. They had the car back to me within 48hrs. Thanks again guys! read more

edwin and crew have a special relationship w my situation . im the original owner of a 1979 vw bus that has been brought back from the dead many times . its an expensive toy but its MY toy . too many memories to let it go . . . thanks guys john from mar vista read more

I've been going here for maybe 10 years and they've never once let me down. Every time I walk through the door Edwin greets me with a smile and immediately gets to work finding the problem. Really can't ask for much more read more

Edwin and crew were incredibly helpful. I brought my HRV to them after the dealership suggested a service and I hoped Tony's could complete the job for cheaper. Well, Edwin took a look at my vehicle and told me I didn't need the service at all - saving me about $1300! I even my dates wrong and the team didn't have my appointment on the books, but they took the time to look at the car with me while I was there and point out where Honda said there was an issue so I could see where there was in fact none. Really stellar group - I'll be back when I have a real issue with the car! read more

I've been bringing my car to Edwin's shop for months now and I'm very thankful for their transparency, professionalism and good work. They answer many of my questions :) wanting to understand the process, the pricing, the parts and their functions, etc. to make informed decisions, with patience. In addition they've worked with my schedule and accommodated my drop ins for quick oil changes as well appointments for specific work on my car. The health of my car is important to me as it brings a sense of safety and I'm so happy to have chosen Edwin and his team be the ones looking after it, people who also really care about the health of my car and therefore my safety. Don't hesitate, go to them and best of luck with your cars. read more

Tony's Motor Service - Oh and don't forget to stop and say hello to Coco :) - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is the place to go I did not know Edwin or anyone on his crew before I started taking my car there to be serviced. But I can say unequivocally Tony's is the best car repair shop I've ever dealt with. I've taken several of my cars there over the years and, compared to other places I've dealt with, this one has the best service at the best price. Owner/manager Edwin confirmed that again today. I started hearing an odd noise in the Lexus I bought last year when I drive it on the freeway. So I took it in and Edwin agreed to go for a ride with me so he could hear it too. It turns out that it was just the tires making a different sound after my last tire rotation than before. I'm reassured. Edwin was generous with his time and didn't charge me a dime for it even though he had a shop full of cars to have his excellent crew fix. I'll keep going here and I recommend you do too. read more

Tony's motor service is the best mechanic in LA! Christian always gets me in last minute, and he always does an amazing job! highly recommended ;) thank you guys so much again!! read more

Asking for a price estmate, got the repy for 200 for oil change on a Kia stinger and 1200 for spark plugs. Doesn't seems fair to me. What is up with these prices?? read more

UPDATE: Owner Edwin called me after reading my review. He was friendly and open, not defensive. He explained the protocol in looking for parasitic drains. I said the protocol should have been explained to me upfront, especially since I was giving them specific instructions (in an effort to defray diagnostic hours) that their protocol would ignore. He agreed. He offered a fair concession, which I accepted. We don't always get things right the first time. Ultimately, upon reading the review, Edwin took the situation seriously and treated it (and me) with respect. I can't ask for more than that. Everyone at Tony's was professional and nice enough. But my experience felt unnecessarily expensive. I brought in my '06 for a battery drain. This make & model had a specific, well-documented issue and fix I didn't know for a fact what was draining the battery but asked them to check this specific fix first since it was recommended by the manufacturer. (There was a class action lawsuit settled last year regarding this specific battery drain. Even without my knowledge or instructions, a routine mechanic's search in a TSB database should have turned it up.) If this were the issue with my car, it would be an easy & quick ten minute repair, as I wasn't even asking them to replace a part - just disconnect a wire under the overhead light in the cabin. I guess my request wasn't passed onto the mechanic. In the end, the fix was exactly what I had asked them to check first. But I was billed almost $800 for several hours of labor because the mechanic checked my request last. I expressed my surprise. I was told if I ever wanted to replace the part, they wouldn't charge me for labor. Ultimately, I didn't push back because someone DID put in the time. But THEIR error cost me a lot of money. A DECENT business might have recognized their mistake and negotiated a bill that was fairer A GREAT business would have recognized their mistake and charged me for the actual amount of time to fix the issue had they followed my instructions. I wasn't dissatisfied with the "work," per se (though they did leave several greasy fingerprints in the cabin, which I had to remove with "Dawn"). But there was a lot of unnecessary labor due to a failure in their chain of communication. And this resulted in a high cost, which they passed on to me. read more

Everyone is so pleasant and nice. It's a bit of a drive for me but I rather go here and know my car is really being taken care of.

Very helpful! Quick and responsive and didn't try to scam me I came in when my car was overheating but still under warranty. They took a look at my car and helped me to see the problem. They didn't try to get me to stop there and helped me move my car read more

I've been going to Edwin since the 90's, I followed him shop to shop till he bought Tony's Motor, there's no better better quality mechanic service anywhere in LA, I spent years going from dork to dork till I found Edwin, his team is so tight and prices super fair, when I retired my blazer after 16yrs he told me to test drive a BMW X3 and he was right it was the car for me I loved it from the start, I bought it new and he told me to get the extended warranty which was very smart, after the expiration he's been taking care of Sunny (it's name) for the last 11yrs and hopefully many more, I can't tell you how they go beyond and above other mechanic services there's just no one else for me.. Thanks Guys! and you too Lunchie! (the irrepressible smartypants rescue bird) read more

I have a new mechanic! I have a very well maintained 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I do much of the work myself and work to keep it looking and running like new. Some recent issues were beyond my ability and I have had bad luck with other local garages (shoddy work, pricing outside reason). Because Tony's was well reviewed and doesn't emphasize work on upscale European vehicles (which I am sure they could handle), I trusted them with my problems - a finicky instrument cluster and phantom gas smell. Problems solved, price fair, great attitude. I highly recommend them. read more

This has been a long time coming because I've away on a small vacation to san Diego driving MY NEW 1979 VW BUS (just kidding) 5 years ago I was looking for a brakes estimate for my highlander . . . Now my wife daughter and myself all turn to Edwin and his crew for the most professional work I've ever come across since I've started driving (1971) The attention to detail is priceless . Getting the vw bus on the road again was herculean . Unbelievable . Thanks to all the guys . Tony Motors Service . . . LOOK FOR THE E R LOOK FOR read more

I had another opertunity to bring a vehicle into Tony Motors wich is cringe worthy to say the least. However, it dawned on me how many times I have needed their service to get my company vehicle's back up and running right away to be able to service my own customers. Edwin and his mechanics have taken care of our vehicle's in an efficient manner every time and I can't stress how important that is to me, my employees and my customers. He is fairly funny too. Brandon Hedding Servpro of Woodland Hills read more

These guys are the best! Did the job quick, honest, and fair priced. I highly recommend this place

What more can I say about Tony's Motor Service that I haven't already? They are true experts in auto mechanics--dedicated, honest, and committed to their craft. The reason we keep coming back is simple: they are the best. I see no reason to go anywhere else. If you value your car and want to keep it running smoothly, Tony's Motor Service is the place to go. Edwin and his team are straightforward and knowledgeable. Just ask my husband--who walks around with a hammer! The team at Tony's Motor Service are like physicians for your car. Just as you would seek a second opinion for your health, you can trust them for a second opinion on your vehicle's mechanics. I guarantee you won't regret it. Thank you, Edwin and your team, for your years of dedication and customer loyalty. - Nahed & Anthony read more

Edwin and crew replaced the transmission on my 2015 Huyndai, which unexpectedly went bust. They did a great job!

These guys are amazing! My car hadn't been driven in a while so I had it jumpstarted at home and was driving around trying to charge the battery but needed air in one of the tires. I called them and they said to come on by. They put air in the tire and also helped me troubleshoot my battery and gave me another jumpstart. They didn't charge me anything, they were very friendly and had me in and out very quickly. Highly recommend these guys! read more

best mechanic in La! One stop shop...they do it all! Most importantly very trustworthy....been a client for many many years

My car died right next to Tony's motor service. They were so nice, they dropped everything to look at my car. They quoted $2500 to fix it. I declined. I took it somewhere else and they fixed it for less than $200. And now it runs perfectly. read more

Excellent customer service. The work was done professionally and in a very timely manner. The service requested was provided and explained clearly. Very competitively priced. read more

I have an old car, it's done!! They could have jerked us around for a while, but Edwin and his crew are so trustworthy that we may purchase something from him. That kind of speaks for itself!! I totally recommend Tony's Motor Service! Merry Christmas and Happy Hollidays!! read more

As usual, Edwin and his crew are fabulous...efficient, fast, knowledgeable, friendly. Because of them I feel confident driving my classic 1982 Datsun 280ZX. Simply the best! read more

I bought a used car recently and I'm taking care of necessary maintenance the car may need. I was aware of it needing specific things such as oil change, new tires, brake replacement etc, but since I don't know a lot of the vehicles prior history, the team at Tony's was able to recommend potential necessary services down the road. The team changed my transmission fluid and drive belt and did it efficiently and at a reasonable price point. They answered my questions and concerns, they're all very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Really recommend and I'll be coming back for my future maintenance read more

I had brake lights and headlights that were out. I called Tony's, they had them, I went in and 20 minutes later I was back on the road. Their mechanics are so patient and thorough and professional. The parts outweighed the labor and in exchange for a couple hundred dollars I got the gold of their service and expertise. Only a fool would not go to Tony's. Don't be a fool. read more

i cannot speak highly enough about this car repair place and the people who work here. they are knowledgeable, do great work and their pricing is really reasonable considering the quality of their work. I adore this place and the people who work here. read more

These guys are a miracle! I have an old, somewhat rare little Saturn Sky and by some slight of hand, these fine people not only know how to fix my car, but they do it beautifully, in a timely fashion, and I can eat the next day because it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. They do good work AND they are super nice. I would give them more stars if I could. read more

so professional and excellent customer service. i will never go anywhere else. you won't be disappointed. small businesses are the best. honda santa Monica are the worst. smiling assassins. read more

Great service! Great price Great quality of work thank you Tony motors don't Hesitate to go by there

This is a great place! It's rare to find a mechanic/ auto repair you can trust. My car mysteriously broke down and they were able to take it in the Monday before Thanksgiving and make it work despite having lots of other jobs, I'm sure. I am so grateful. Edwin and his team were very friendly and didn't try to sell anything that wasn't necessary. I felt they went above and beyond. I'm going to be going back for all my car needs! Thank you!!! read more

Tony is the kindest guy ever. I came in for a rear light fix and he did it in like five minutes and wouldn't let me pay!!! This made my whole week. I found my reliable and local auto shop. Thank god!! Thank you so much Tony! read more

Great service!! Very knowledgeable technicians. Couldn't be more pleased with the service received.

The transparent pricing and exceptional customer service have made me a loyal customer. I highly recommend Tony's to anyone in need of reliable and honest auto repair services. Five stars all the way! read more

Tony's Motor Service keeps my 1998 Rav4 purring. I can't rave enough about Tony's. They are masters at not just fixing problems, but troubleshooting them. My car was draining the battery when it rained. Big problem as it wouldn't start and I was running out of AAA jumps. Tony's took the time to water test and found the windshield was leaking. The stereo was also Shorted out. They fixed the windshield and tested it. Now the Rav has sat outside during the big rains of 2023 and if fires up like a champ. Additionally Tony's referred me to a radio installer to replace the radio... And I got a discount. Bottom line; my rav is running great and I can keep it instead of buying some new overpriced vehicle. Thanks Tony's! read more

They did a same day replacement on my windshield after I noticed a large crack. The staff were friendly and communicative with me. Would definitely go back for any other issues with my car. Thank you! read more

On time. Professional. Courteous. My car runs beautifully and I am thrilled. Been coming here for years. read more
