Vargas Mechanic Service - Disk brakes etc - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Paid 20$ and it took them longer than it should have to put a patch on my tire only to start hearing a noise coming for that tire and the reason was they didn't put my bolts on tight AT ALL (even with power drill). Come back home and I was able to twist the bolts with a regular star. Dangerous, a waste of money and my time. Never coming here again. read more

I came here for my tire once. Then I went again for my not-getting-cool AC. They promised the AC would just be cool after they did a thorough check and repair for around $130. Yes, it was cool but only for a month while I only drove my car 4 miles a day. So I had a chance to go back there to have them check it today. They said there was a little leak, and I asked them why they didn't catch that at the very first time? And What surprised me is they asked me to pay again ($80) for another service with freon and so-on. This is not a good service when someone is coming back for a complaint. So I just drove away feeling really disappointed. I wish the management would take care of their customers better. read more

I took my car to see what the problem was because my gas pedal basically kept going on it's on. The mechanic told me I needed a brand new throttle ,and that it was going to cost $490 w $220 in labor. I honestly feel like since I was a female he definitely tried to up-charge me because when calling other places everyone said under $320. The shop I took it to ended up saying that it was just dirty and I needed a air filter, very disappointing and won't ever come back here again because I felt scammed. read more

Roberto and Javier give the best service. I've been here dozens of times and not been disappointed. If there was something not quite right they would thoroughly check their own work and make it right but I think that only has happened one time. Fast, efficient and friendly. read more

Absolutely best mechanic I've been too, I'm a college student and a female so it's hard to actually find a mechanic that genuinely wants to help you without trying to scam you! HOWEVER this auto shop worked with me to fix my serpentine belt and helped fix it with my ac compressor acting up too. Highly recommend them and so grateful for them read more

Got a quote on the phone review..... Great customer service! By far Very friendly But Jesus Christ!!!! Expensive as hell! Lol Double the price on a tire swap then other spots Other places were like 50-80$ this place said $120 bruhhhhh Just a heads up! read more

Well where do I start ! First I called and told them my problems on my truck. My brakes are slightly being pressed in on there own . There basically getting locked gradually. I called and the owner who doesn't speak English would give the phone to Jose . I told him my problems and told him I think it's the brake booster . He said to bring it down so they can diagnose it and find out what's the problem . So I did . He calls me back and says it was the BRAKE BOOSTER . I tell him cool ! He changes it out for 480$ . I pick up the truck and it doing the exact same thing . So there diagnose was wrong , it was never the BRAKE BOOSTER . 2 days later he tells me it's the brake booster module . I tell him well can you fix it . I already paid 480$ . He says he can't get the part . It will take 3 months . I told him I'm just going to take my truck home . Can I have my refund since the diagnose was wrong . And you guys charged me 480 for no reason . The owner blew up on me . He didn't want to give my money back . I had to demand my refund ! Not cool . I basically waisted my time here and almost got robbed . Next time they should Really be more accurate on there diagnose and not have people waisting there money when that's not the issue . read more

DO NOT come to this mechanic; especially if you're a woman. They will take advantage of you and take your money without fixing your car! My mom has been coming here for a couple of years now; and the only reason she did this time was because of how close it is to our home. Her car wasn't starting, so she thought it might have been the starter. Almost every time we go, the mechanic Robert is who we interact with. So, she got the car to start and took it to VARGAS MECHANIC. She let him know she THOUGHT it was the starter. He, without properly diagnosing the problem, proceeded to "fix" the starter. The very next day, her car wouldn't start again. This time, we called a tow truck. The tow truck driver made my mom aware that the whole time all she needed was a new battery. So she paid VARGAS MECHANIC $260 for nothing. This is not the only encounter like this that we have had with this mechanic. About 6 months ago, my old car began overheating. A previous mechanic had told me that my radiator MAY need to be replaced in the near future. Thinking it was that, I took it to VARGAS MECHANIC. I AM NOT A MECHANIC; so I'm trusting THEM to be honest. Once again, Robert is the mechanic who helped me. And once again, he did not properly diagnose my car. He just replaced the radiator. The next day, my car was still overheating. I took it back to the shop, and Robert said it "might" be the thermostat. He replaced it; it wasn't. I became fed up. I took it to another mechanic who told me my only problem was my fan switch wasn't working. This mechanic flipped my fan switch to always be on and didn't charge me anything. My car didn't overheat again. VARGAS MECHANIC charged me almost $500 all together and my car was never fixed. Total waste of time and money. read more

Vargas Mechanic Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

This is probably one of the most honest trustworthy and friendliest mechanics in the area! They are attentive as soon as you walk in and these places can be intimidating to someone like me who knows absolutely nothing about cars but they heard exactly what I needed done to my tire and did it no questions asked and it was affordable. Will be coming here for future repairs and maintenance for my car. Thanks guys :) read more

Great customer service! I got a flat tire and all tire shops were closed including Vargas however they were kind enough to take me after hours and fix my flat. I appreciate them taking me in last minute, guys we're great and the price was on point. read more

They just the best when it comes to helping you with your car troubles. Great fast service. Highly recommend

What a terrific place, slightly off the beaten path. Ran into some bad luck this week getting two big screws in different tires on different days. (Perhaps I have an unknown enemy seeking vengeance, but that's a whole other yelp review). The guys at Vargas got me right in and out, patched up in less than 20 minutes at a very fair price. I was able to drive in without an appointment and take care of it on my lunch break so I can tackle my commute with peace of mind. Definitely worth giving this shop your business when in need. read more

They offered me used tires at a great price and they had quality service! I would definitely come back here again

Oscar and his crew are awesome!! They put the CARE in car service! Always reasonable in prices, very honest, and they guarantee their work! Been taking my Durango here for about 5 years now and I always leave happy, feeling safer in my car after they work on it! Highly recommend this establishment! read more

My blue Velastor needed a quick tire rotation, BOOM, got the car up on the lift and tires rotated super quick like and I was on my way. I have brought all my cars here for quality and efficient services throughout the years. Enrique is my guy, helpful, friendly and quick all the things you want in a mechanic. Totally recommend to my family and friends. read more

I would recommend this shop. It was nearby so I decided to check it out for some used tires and was able to get a good price and installation including balancing. Shop was busy and the owner was friendly and honest and didn't try to do things that didn't need to be done. read more

I have visited this business twice, both times for the removal of tires. The first time was to remove a set of old tires from a set of wheels. I proposed a deal for the used tires in return for free labor, but because of the poor condition of the tires, which I was aware of, it would not benefit them. I entirely understood, but they instead gave me a very good deal to remove all four tires. The second time was to once again remove a set of tires from the wheels that were the vehicle, since I had sold them, and have them installed on another of wheels that would then be going on the vehicle. Again, the price was very fair. Service is very good here. On my first experience, the father, who is the business owner helped me, and he was very approachable, and on the second experience I was helped by his son was extremely professional and extremely approachable. Their four out of five stars is not indicative of their mechanical services, as it would be unfair for me to rate them on such without actually have work done on my vehicle. Rather it reflects my experience with their services in the aforementioned review and their professionalism. read more

Bad service on my Lexus . I had brakes done and they did a terrible job . You are better off going across the street tire shop for brakes and rotors . They are great. read more

I just left Vargas Mechanic and I was very impressed. My 1974 Ford F100 has been acting up lately. My truck would run about 5-10 minutes and just shut off and it would take at times up to 5 minutes to turn back on. The problem is that not many mechanics understand carburators now days. I left the truck about 3 hours with Vargas Mechanic and when I came back I was very surprised with the outcome. The owner of the shop Enrique said he worked on my truck and said that the screws from the intake manifold to the carburetor were loose and it was sucking in air throwing off my idle. I had 4 previous mechanics check it out and charged me upwards of $60-80 dollars each time and never resolved my issue even though they would tell me it was fixed but the problem would continue and was getting worse! So back to Vargas he spent time checking lines, gas pump, gas filter and he eventually found my problem and fixed it. Vargas at first didn't want to charge me anything saying all he did was tighten and secure the screws so air wouldn't be sucked in anymore. He finally took $20 from me. It took me about 3 weeks to finally write this review but I finally got around to it. I have returned twice to Vargas for an oil change and a tire repair. I have sent my mother here and my wife brings her car here also and Roberto has worked on her car. Vargas is a class act of a shop. I highly recommend visiting this place if you want an honest awesome mechanic and Roberto his employee has tone of experience. Thanks again you have a new loyal customer. read more

These people are unfair I bought a used tire and when i seen it had a bulg in it i took it back it was on my car The man said no he would charge me for another. It was there fault for giving me a bad one and i paid for it. It should have been an even exchange. They get them free ,really ,bad business choice. He was rude and not very nice to me. I said i will not come back and he said good dont . Wow read more

I've been to this shop twice for tire related issues and was helped both times by Oscar. The first time I was given a great price for a tire patch with no issues. 2nd time around I came for a pair of used tires and There was no issues with price or service. However, Oscar comes back and tells me that he has no idea why my sensor hasn't been alerting me that my tire pressure was off because the sensor was missing(other rim sensor was intact and there). I thought nothing of it Oscar even added that he thinks the previous person who installed my old tires might've taken it off, I took it as a possibility. He installs my used tires and says "I hope the sensor doesn't go on" I said me to! As soon as I step into the car it marks low tire pressure/ faulty sensor. I came to the conclusion that upon removing the tire from the rim he broke it and blamed it on the last guy, remind you I didn't come with this issue. Oscar u should've offered me a discount and stepped up to the issue, I will never return as I don't confide in your work. I don't recommend this shop. He also tried to add other work to my car unrelated to tire replacement, luckily for me my uncle is a mechanic and had him check out what he urged to be fixed ASAP($300 in repairs) and said it was not necessary. read more
