I even had AAA come out and do a battery assessment and they said the battery was fine and that we probably needed an alternator. So not knowing where to start, I looked up auto repair places near my home in Lomita on Yelp and Lomita Auto Service popped up. They had great reviews so I decided to get an estimate. Not only did they exceed my expectations, we didn't need to replace the alternator, it was the battery all along. Mo was very professional and could've easily charged me for a new alternator which is a very expensive repair but he said it was more important to change the battery and that the alternator will eventually need to be changed but didn't need it at this time. I was so relieved and thankful that I found a place I could trust that would not take advantage of me. So grateful that I've found my "go to place" for our vehicles! Thank you Mo for your honesty and professionalism!

THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS THEIFS If I could give zero stars I…read morewould.. My first issue with them was in January. I got 3 used tires from him, and about a month later I returned to get a patch in one of my tires. He told me he noticed my tires were damaged/no good. I reminded them those were the same tires they sold me. At first, Omar denied even selling that brand, but after speaking with an employee, he agreed to replace them. However, he replaced them with mismatched tire sizes on my Honda Accord. He put two 215/55 R17 tires in the front when the Accord requires 225/50 R17, and on the rear driver side replaced it with a 215/50 R17. Once again i pointed out there was an issue with these tires, he told me when he had the correct sizes in i would get a call so that he could replace them. To this day the issue still is not resolved. In February, they diagnosed my car as needing a water pump replacement. I brought my own part from AutoZone, so I understood the labor would not be under warranty. I was given a great deal, but after getting my car back, I immediately noticed damage/scuffing on the passenger side bumper. When I brought it up, I was questioned about whether the damage was already there and was told the cameras would be checked, and he would get my paint matched to fix it, but nothing was ever resolved. Even worse, only one day after getting my car back, the engine began misfiring. I returned to the shop, and the mechanic admitted a hose had accidentally been left disconnected during the repair. He put the hose back on and sent me on my way. However, the car was still misfiring so I YouTubed it myself and the computer board needed to be rest because of the lose hose so i got under the hood and did it myself. Wouldn't you know, it fixed the problem. How could they not know this needed to be done or did they simply not want to take the time to complete their work. Three months later, I went back again because my car was leaking coolant. I didn't go back because I thought their work was any good but because they were the ones who installed the water pump in the first place. He let me know he could replace the water pump, but there would be another labor charge because I brought my own part. However do I know that the hose they left disconnect did not cause the part to fail after only 3 months. I needed my car, so I paid them again. Of course, I got my car back with more damage, now there are also cracks in the paint on that same passenger-side bumper. I'm done going here.

Earlier this morning while I was dropping my children off at school, a friend mentioned that one of my brake lights was out in our 2015 Honda Odyssey. Miraleste Automotive is across the street from where I live, so I thought I would drop in and inquire about what I needed. 10 minutes later everything was done at a refreshingly reasonable cost. Greg Streeter, the owner of the business, changed the bulb himself. As a business owner myself, that goes a long way with me. In addition, I was treated with kindness and respect from both Greg Streeter and Myra, the office manager. The reason I wanted to mention that portion of this review is that I looked like crap. I literally rolled out of bed and threw something on so I could get my kids to school on time. My hair is screwed up. I haven't showered or shaved yet, and to top it off, our 2015 Honda Odyssey hasn't been washed in weeks. My car also has cobwebs growing on the outside of it, because it's an extra car and we almost never drive it. Yet still, Miraleste Automotive treated me really well at a great price. My wife and I have four cars, and the other three are 2025 & 2026 luxury models. Because of how well I was treated this morning at Miraleste Automotive, I will bring all of my cars there as needed. I highly recommend this place. It is beyond awesome.

When I returned to the shop, I was advised to get an engine wash rather than having the issue properly addressed. A second licensed repair facility later identified that a vacuum/breather hose in the same repair area was not properly connected, along with other concerns that could not be safely corrected due to an overtightened bolt. I attempted to resolve the issue directly, but was not able to reach a resolution and ultimately had to escalate the matter. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before proceeding with repairs here.
