This just happened this morning and I'm busy as shit at my office but absolutely had to get this off my chest. So I noticed I had a flat tire this AM heading to work and used Yelp to find the closest tire repair garage in the area. Found this place in a heartbeat and drove over to get a quick tire patch. The old guy (maybe owner / maybe manager) could not have been more annoying and curmudgeonly. He took a while to acknowledge I was there to begin with. OK, understand we're not all morning people, maybe he had some shit to handle. Nope. He just decided that doing some ridiculous custodial work was more important than a paying customer waiting for service. If it wasn't for the fact that I was pot committed to this place due to the circumstance, I woulda insta-peaced-out. Anyway, after waiting 15 mins with nothing else going on, he finally sizes me up and says that the patch will be $18. I've had a few patches done to tires before and never paid over $10 but whatever, each private business owner makes their own prices. Fine. I sensed but had no proof that this guy just overcharged me for no reason but I was in too much of a rush to care. But as my pic would illustrate here, this guy TOTALLY CHEATED ME. Why two stars you ask? Why not one? Well, when he did get to my tire (after half an hour) he did do a thorough job in patching it. Can't knock him for that. But integrity is HUGE thing with me. Honesty is a HUGE thing with me. Manners are a HUGE thing for me. This place and guy didn't exhibit any of them. No more business for you sir. On an aside (if you made it this far) THANK GOD FOR TINDER. I swear, if it wasn't for me being given the ability to judge random girls on that app, the 45 mins it took for a simple tire patch would've been excruciatingly more painful. Thanks developers of Tinder! Yes! (I must be an oddball too cuz whereas all my guy friends instantly swipe right to 99% and deal with whomever they get paired with later, I am the total opposite and left swipe 99%. What can I say, I know what I like. =P) But seriously, eff this station. Dunzo. read more

Y.S. 76 Auto Care - Sign says $15 for a patch. I got charged $18 ($23 total). U tell me if I wasn't being profiled. It's hard out here for a pimp. - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I actually went to the Gas station and they have nice coffee machines that are touch screen and they have only been open for 3 months. They have a lot I bought a watermelon Red Bull something new for me. read more

I stopped by this Gas station to see if I could have my flat tire repaired. They were super nice and informed me that due to me smacking into ??? at a pretty high speed- there would be no way of salvaging my tire that had been ripped open on the side :( BUT- they did offer to replace the exact same tire, within 1 hour for $115 I called a few tire shops and the price was about the same but the repair time was way longer. They came through and had my wheels ready to roll in the promised time frame. read more

This place is s#it... Here is my story: I forgot my wallet with debit card at home, and only had $5 dollars cash in my pocket. My car was on very low fuel after picking it up from the dealership in downtown. After trying to figure out where was the nearest Gas station, I drove down towards the Koreatown Area and found this one. I pumped whatever I had in my pocket to make it back home. HOWEVER, after I was done pumping gas I noticed there was absolutely not a single drop of gas in my car. For $5 there should have been something in there. That should've been a gallon if the gallon cost 4.31? If I pump 10 elsewhere I know I'll get atleast 130 miles to drive. I know $5 is absolutely nothing, but it should've given me something until I drove home to get my stuff. So, this only leaves me one thing... I got JIPPED, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's been JIPPED here. Quite honestly I was pissed off, and confronted the cashier he told me to deal with the manager not him. Therefore I did, and he totally blew me off and in other words told me to get lost (after standing there and being acknowledged 10 minutes later). I told him that this was fraud, and I wondered how many other people having pumping half of what they think they are? He explained with his orange highlights in his hair that his pumps weren't a problem, and to leave him alone and decides to put up a hand gesture saying "fuck off" basically. That's where I drew the line, and told him that I wanted what I paid for, and that his customer service was terrible. I don't recommend anyone coming here, drive away from this place. This man just wants your gas money, and will only provide half of what you pay or perhaps NONE just like my case. By the way I will do something about this, this man is not getting away with it. read more

I was late for my car registration renewal since i need a smog check. I called up AAA, and they said this is the closest one around my work. On my way driving there, it was kinda in the getto area of K town. I pulled up and i told the guy that i needed a smog check. He asked me for registration and stuff. He said Ican sit at the bench, and it will take around 15 mins. SO, i sat down in front of the gas station and thinking everything would be fine. 10 mins later, he came up to me. I joked and asked " did i pass?" He was like " no you didn't pass. something might not be working for your car. it will take $65 to check" i was like " are u serious? does that mean something is wrong with my car." after couple questions.......He said " i will run your car for 5 mins and try it again." I said " okay." Me standing there trying to figure out what was wrong. calling my body shop to ask why i didn't pass the smog check and the guy was so rude to me. Anyway.....after another 10 mins, i walked toward my car as i heard that the report was printing. I asked him again " did i pass?" He said " yes. barely." i was like " yes" . He said " you might need a tune up or something." So....the point to this review is.....i think he is nice enough to try again instead of just telling me that i didn't pass and let myself to figure it out. not a lot of mechanics these days are nice. I got my registration renewed at AAA. review to come about AAA renewal experience. =) read more

This review is for the gas station and not the auto repair. I attempted to use my credit card here but it kept saying to see the cashier as it will not go through. I went to see him and decided to pay in $20.00 in cash rather than on card. Low and behold two hours later, someone from this gas station attempted to charge me out of $90.00 of gas. A little shady if you ask me. On a better note, the location and the prices are good, but other than the fraudulent charges on my card, not that great. read more

Very friendly service. I have taken my car here a few times already..for oil change, tire patch, brake light repair and check ups. Whenever I was concerned about something going on with my car they would check for free and give me an honest opinion. Not pushy to fix unnecessary things. Reasonable prices and quick service. read more

Great Attention for my speciality car classic Jaguar xk8 and friendly care, while I was there I saw a number of other satisfied customers to their fine technical Service! Ask for Tommy they have good gas prices also ! Robert King Executive producer Www.styleLa.com read more

I stopped by here to diagnose a car problem and determine the best solution. The owner/manager (older Asian man) at Y.S. 76 Auto Care was abrasive and really could care less about trying to help me. Stay away! There are nice, sincere auto shops out there who really try to help customers. Unfortunately, this is definitely NOT one of those places. read more

Last year some jerk hit my car in the middle of the night and thanks to the combination of said driver and AAA I now had to register my car as a salvaged title. To those of you who have never had to go through this process, be thankful. For those of you who do know, then you would appreciate this place. I came here for my brake and lamp inspection. Other places I looked up were charging an average of $125. Here I paid a mere $80 and it was super fast, easy, and pleasant. Other places said it would take around 2 hours, ya, I was in and out in 45 minutes with my certificate. This place is great! read more

I always come here for general car check-ups and oil changes. My oil change for a 4 cylinder sedan is ~$25. Very helpful staff, educated, and accommodating. I usually call in advance to make sure they have space in their schedule to check out my vehicle and they usually do. Eric is especially helpful in explaining what exactly needs to be done to fix any issues with my car. I've always been satisfied with their service. :) I go to America's Tire if I have anything tire related because of the excellent warranty they have on their tires. read more

Great service, honest and friendly. I went for an oil change, and they told me my shocks needed to be replaced badly, but didn't pressure me to do it through them. Makes me want to trust them more. read more

I needed a brake and lamp inspection and stopped by this place randomly. The person that helped me (Tommy) was friendly and told me what was going to be checked without giving me any BS. I will definitely come back for any other car issues. read more

Last week my car started to overheat while is was driving. I called my friend and he recommended me to this repair shop. Tommy and Eric were very helpful and courteous. They told me my radiator was cracked and was replaced very quickly and affordable. They even gave me a 1 year 12,000 mile warranty for free. I would definitely take my car back for and future service i may need for my car. read more

These guys were nice and quick with my tire repair and friendly. The wait wasn't bad and they had me in and out. :) And the good news is that there's a Korean Restaurant right across the street. So if you're hungry you can grab a quick bite to eat. :) read more

Car was badly damaged after hitting a curb and these guys were super friendly and honest. Tommy, who had inspected my car, was so helpful by telling me exactly what was wrong, how to fix it, and how long it would take. Good prices but even more customer service was excellent and would definitely recommend this place!!! read more

I've been here so many times that I'm kicking myself in the butt for not having written a review for them yet. These guys are absolutely the best mechanics in the business and I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. Besides knowing exactly what to do on the numerous occasions I brought my lemons here, Tommy (I think that's his name) gave me some highly and effective advice on what to avoid, keep an eye on and little things I could do to save $ and trouble. I mean, who does that? Don't they make bulk of their revenue on idiot girls with zero knowledge of cars? Well anywho, it's a great feeling leaving a place knowing that I was well taken care of and wasn't ripped off. Never mind products... for me, it's SERVICE that always brings me back to a particular place of business. =) read more

I've been a customer here for years, and they've always been honest and affordable. I write this review after being blown away by their honest when my last car died. The story is that the engine went on my last car. A dishonest mechanic would have sold me a rebuilt engine. Instead Tommy, the manager, told me that a rebuilt engine probably wouldn't last long and that my transmission was likely to go next. Tommy recommended that I go out and buy a new car. A new car, you realize, would be new and under warranty, therefore not bringing him any new business for years. I actually ended up buying a used car, which I now bring here for maintenance. On another occasion, I had a wiring issue with my car. They initially spent a lot of time looking in the wrong place for the problem. When they discovered that they made a mistake, they admitted it readily and took that time off my bill. They're honest, always friendly, and the car is ready quickly. Things get fixed and stay fixed. I highly recommend them. read more

I feel that these are mechanics that I can trust and wont trick you. I asked to have my transmission fluid and engine oil changed only for them to say it was unnecessary. They also pointed out the actual problem, which was a tightened rear wheel. read more

Called tommy 15 minutes before closing to have him check out a used car I was maybe going to buy. He made time for me and quickly checked out the car, finding a huge oil leak and saving me from a terrible purchase. As a new driver and new car shopper it's great to have friendly helpful and affordable mechanics like tommy that know what they're talking about and can spot a problem! read more

this place is awful! the station has been reported to the bureau of auto repairs as far back as 2006 and paid fines for faulty work. word to the wise- keep on driving to another shop and save time and stress and money! OKAY...I will do my best to sum up the last 5 days of K-town Autoshop horrors. Triple A towed us to the shop on 1/10. We were told we had need of a new tire from a previous day run in with a shallow but nasty pot hole -not unlike the million others in the city since the rain- We met a tall mechanic (Eric) and he said it was a "no problem job, it might take about an hour". I smiled and sat down with my laptop on the outside bench. 5 and a half hours later (I know!) the tire had been taken off but the rotor and the rim had also been ruined so the press would not function with the new (used) tire that we had paid $114 bucks for. So we pay and we drive away. The garage is pretty close to our house so we stopped at the store and went home for the night. We parked in our garage overnight and in the morning the wheel was wobbly after a short trip down Wilshire Blvd. Then the thing started to thump and was definately not going to stay tight. We called and told Eric that we were going to bring her back in and he said okay. This was Saturday and he said they could take a quick look but they were closed on Sunday. We drove it into the garage and up it went. We waited no more than a couple minutes and then Eric came over and said it was just a spindle piece that had to be tightened down and bid us on our way. I work in Hollywood and my BF drove me to work. less than 6 miles away the wheel started to smoke violently. WTF! We thought it was going to explode and the brakes were ranking black smoke all the way back to the repair shop! $579.00 later...still not fixed. The mechanics said the parts they used were defective...and then the wrong part showed up in the order...excuses do not accomplish solutions, they add to the problems. We hope the car is done by tomorrow but we are NOT paying anything else for this poorly done job. read more

This place is great. They were able to get my car done quicker than I had expected. Price is reasonable and service is great! Highly recommend to all yelpers! read more

This place is the only place I trust my car with! The service is great and the people there are always helpful, knowledgeable, and very honest. Would definitely recommend this place. I have already recommended this place to my close friends and family already. read more

Five Stars for As good as it gets. My vehicle broke down on the I-10 coming into LA. Called my tow service and selected this 76 station from a list of three. Glad I did. The repair was a pulley mount which broke off the main block, disabling my power steering and A/C. I was towed in at about 11 a.m. Took a cab to my meeting. At 4 p.m. I called the station. Job done. On top of that, when I drove off my car ran better than before. They had made a few adjustments to the engine temperature control and the carburetor... while they were doing the repair. The cost was more than reasonable. Months later, while back in LA, I took my car in just to have new tires. One of the best experiences I have ever had with a professional mechanic. read more
