Amazing shop Able and his team are always nice and welcoming and prices are fair for smog

Abel and his team are absolutely amazing!!!! The only mechanic I can actually trust and I know he's not just trying to rip me off. He tries to give me the best deals possible and is very communicative. I originally found them through a search for SMOG locations and he was the closest one! In order for me to pass, I needed a few repairs done and they were able to get my Toyota in and out without a hassle. They are extremely efficient and will take great care of your vehicle. I recently bought a Chevy that started having steering fluid leakage. I took it to them and they were able to quickly figure out the issue, get the parts in super fast, and I had my car back in about 3 days (might've been faster if I didn't take it close to the weekend). Highly recommend Venice Auto Care if you want friendly service, short repair times, SMOG certification, and more! :) Also, they are open on Saturdays, which is such a plus. Thank you guys!!! read more

Worse people ever! Do not recommend. I went here a month ago with the parts included.. got a report at AutoZone and told him yo fix what the report said. Now my engine light is back on. The same issue is happening. I confronted him with the issue, asked if a diagnostic through them was recommended and I said yes it was but I just wanted them to do what the report sad from AutoZone and plus I had the parts with me on hand. Now when I returned back that he doesn't do diagnostics on these type of cars, but why would you say that a month ago? $500 of my hard earned money wasted. read more

Abel is a master mechanic. Keeps my 1987 Cadillac on the road. He will always look to save you money. He was going to replace my catalytic converter but took the time to play around with my carburetor until he got the emissions to lower. Max allowable PPM is 89. I was around 120. He got it down to 58. At high RPM passing is 54. I was in the 80's. He got me down to 27 PPM. No more stress about driving a 35 year old car. Just bring it to Abel. He always looks over my car thoroughly when I bring it in. Even if it's just for an oil change or something small. Always takes the time to talk and answer all of your questions. read more

Venice Auto Care - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have been taking my cars to Abel at Venice Auto care for decades. Even when he was over on Adams. It's rare that you find such a nice, honest and conscientious mechanic as Abel, his niece and his team of mechanics. Their prices are very reasonable and they will work with you on finding the most cost effective approach to get you back on the road. I can't say enough great things about Abel and Venice Auto Care. If you're looking for a reasonable priced shop that you can trust - look no further. Keith G. read more

Thank you to the Ventura Family (Venice Auto) who performed immaculate service on my recently purchased used RAV4. I was given the run around by previous mechanics and Venice Auto Care was sympathetic to the money I spent unnecessarily. I asked Venice Auto to FIX EVERYTHING - and they did just that! I was updated about new findings and expenses to give consent along the way. They were so thorough and honest in their diagnosis/repairs, that I have kept a smile on my face all day since being reunited with my vehicle....I left the truck with them Monday and I picked up the truck today and the engine sounds like a hummingbird. I finally passed the smog too. They wouldn't let me leave until it had been checked again....I appreciate the honesty and compassion for doing great work. I will be back for regular service....thank you Tio! read more

Good place, very nice flendly persons, they give me good price for my palomo.... tnxs

There are times when your hope in humanity gets restored by people who go out of their way to do something nice for other people, and this is not so much a review of this business' good service our cheap prices. But it's the only way I can thank and at the same time call attention to Vilma's sense of humanity, to make my story short, she found my neighbor's wallet in a gas station in Koreatown and took the time to drive to Glendale to return it, needless to say I was more than impressed by her gesture of goodwill, so I hope that knowing the character of the person that runs this place will give people the sense that they are dealing with honest, compassionate people, in this time of indifference and lack of compassion, it is very refreshing to come across somebody like her. I wish them the best!!!!! read more

Over the past five years, I have serviced my Pontiac Vibe and Honda Accord here. They are straight forward, up front, and make good recommendations. The prices are competitive. Highly recommend. Mm read more

Two and a half stars. Mediocre work; they over filled my oil and when I needed a catalytic converter change they wanted to charge me 300 plus so that I could pass my smog check. I got it for half the price thanks to a friend who recommended me else where and didn't have to have the whole thing replaced, it was modified instead. I wish they would have told me that's possible instead of just telling me the only option they knew. This is my local shop. read more
