I am extremely disappointed with my experience here. I brought my car in on October 6th 2025 for a…read morediagnostic knowing I needed an oil change and possibly had an oil leak. I paid $130 for what was supposed to be a full diagnostic.. a thorough report of issues found after inspection. Instead, I got a single vague paragraph on paper (quote 1) summarizing $2,000+ in repairs with no itemized breakdown. I asked for photos, and they showed me pictures of my engine filters (note you have to get pass air ducts for this). Later that day I requested an itemized quote and suddenly the total dropped by nearly $1,000. Some of the issues just disappeared from the quote. That was my first red flag. How does a "diagnosis" of the same car change that drastically within hours? What did I pay $130 for if not an accurate inspection and record of the car's condition? I decided to check things myself. I ordered my own cabin, engine, and oil filters online for around $35 total (they quoted $180). I replaced the cabin filter in five minutes. Then I went to replace the engine air filter and immediately saw two large tears in both air intake ducts ... the hoses that deliver air into the engine (pre-filter at least). But both were completely ripped. This was never mentioned in either diagnostic, quote 1 or 2 despite being obvious... I paid $130 for them to "inspect" my car, and they missed something anyone could see under the hood? That's not just sloppy... it's negligent. And since accessing the engine filter requires moving those ducts, they had to have seen it. So, recap: I paid $130 for a diagnostic that missed two gaping holes in the air intake ducts something front and center. If I hadn't checked, I'd still be driving with this glaring issue. It's hard not to wonder if I was brushed off because I'm a woman. Im not the type to take someone's word without checking. This felt either lazy or deliberately dishonest. Fast forward to October 11, I came back for what I assumed would be a simple oil change. I'd already paid $130 for the lacking diagnostic, I believe I was informed with my initial quote that would go towards other services. Nope. They charged another $160. But I didn't have the energy to argue and I was planning to bring up the ducts. No one mentioned them... not even when I asked if there were any other issues. So I walked outside opened the hood pointed at the ripped hose and asked "What's this, and why wasn't it in my diagnostic?" The man looks me dead in the eye and says, "Oh, that's not really a big deal... most people don't fix that." Excuse me? I paid for a diagnosis and someone decided this shouldn't be included. Make it make sense. After pressing, he admits it should be replaced... something I already knew since I'd ordered both ducts for $30 online. Then he gives me a verbal quote of $55. I ask him to print it (because I'm not doing he said she said). He writes it up adding "no labor charge" like he's doing me a favor. I already had both parts sitting in my car. When I got home, I realized the quote was for one side the one I'd pointed at. Both were torn. At this point, I've lost all trust in this location. They're not transparent, not thorough, and the way they handled my situation was insulting. I hoped I could trust them with my car, but instead I learned a hard lesson. I'll now personally verify every service I pay for. If you rely on shops for maintenance.. open your hood. Watch a few videos. Understand what's being done before paying the "convenience" premium. Many of these fixes are simple and inexpensive. TL;DR: - Paid $130 for a "diagnostic" that missed two huge air duct tears. - Received inconsistent quotes -- price dropped $1,000 after asking for details. - No transparency or accountability. - Dismissive attitude when confronted. - Trust broken. Would not return.

I've lived in LA for over 16 years and have tried more auto shops than I can count--dealerships,…read morechains, and small independents--for everything from oil changes to major repairs. Larsen Automotive is the first place that made me stop looking. What sets Larsen apart is the rare combination of trust, fair pricing, and genuinely great service. They explain what's going on with your car in plain language, break down what's urgent versus what can wait, and never make you feel pressured. Their prices are very reasonable--especially compared to the dealerships I've used--and the quality of their work has been consistently excellent. You can tell this is a family business with a real legacy, not just a volume-driven operation. There's a welcoming, community feel when you walk in, and they clearly take pride in their reputation in Culver City and West LA. Both of my cars now only go to Larsen, and I recommend them to anyone who asks. If you're looking for a trustworthy, long-term shop instead of rolling the dice every time something goes wrong, this is the place.

Since I was in the area, I visited the location at 9014 National Blvd. in Los Angeles. What a disappointing experience. There were three service lanes, and the staff directed me into one behind a car already being serviced. I waited and waited while cars in the other lanes were serviced and left--including a car that arrived after me. When I finally spoke up, an employee apologized and explained that the car ahead of me needed a part they had to order, which had just arrived. If they knew that car was delayed, why direct me into that lane without explaining the situation? Instead, I spent an hour and a half watching other customers come and go. I also wanted to speak with a manager, but none was available. To make matters worse, they forgot to mark when my next oil change is due. I hope the manager reads this review and addresses the poor communication and handling of the service lanes. As a returning customer, I expected much better service..
