Mike the owner is an absolute godsend; informative, smart and honest. I had three other quotes for my brakes and he gave me the best fix and recommendation. Alex is so professional and helped my car back to running. Definitely recommend and they cover so many fixes!

This place is truly wonderful and I will trust them with my car any day. Tip: call ahead for a good estimate of how busy they are. The first time I came in, I hit a curb and I was afraid I had damaged my tire. They were honest and thorough and told me that the tires were fine, but I really needed a brake job ASAP. I was a little wary about getting a full brake job done, but I did some research and realized that A.) their prices were good and B.) I definitely needed it. My brakes have been perfect since then, and the job only took about an hour while I watched the premium movie channel in their comfortable waiting room. I have a long commute and I get a little paranoid about my car, so I've stopped by a few times since then to have my car checked out. When everything is fine, they tell me that and don't try to sell me anything extra. I come here for oil changes now too. Recently, I made the very stupid mistake of trusting a tire store after I got a flat. This other tire place failed to change one of my tires because they said the lug nuts couldn't be removed with the tools in their shop. I came here, and they put on my new tire in about twenty minutes and also told me how much that other place had overcharged me. Lesson learned: always go to Auto Repair Specialists!

I had an unbelievable experience with them. I took my 2013 Hyundai Elantra to get it fixed after an attempted break-in. When they were submitting the damages to the insurance, the insurance only covered part of the repair damages, not everything. However, they went the extra mile and fixed my steering column despite it not being covered by insurance free of charge. It was an incredibly generous gesture on their part. I will be going to them for all my car needs in the future!

I received a referral & took my car in. Alex was great so I left the car on Friday. He said he'd call & tell me the estimate. After no call, I called Saturday,10am. At noon I was told Alex wasn't coming in. Mike seemed frustrated & started fussing. I came & got my car. I think it was just a bad day except, I was told my control arm bushing was bad. It wasn't.

Said go To someone else. Horrible service and be careful about there prices

The mechanics were very conscious of price when it came to my engine problems and helped me choose the most price efficient option. I very much appreciated the human concern and will continue to bring my vehicle here!

We were in town from Arizona visiting and our car broke down on a Sunday. Mike is wonderful! He saved us. He was busy with several customers but he and his team still got us back on the road within a few hours. Great work, good pricing, excellent customer service, he really cares.

Alex and Mike always take care of me and my car. As someone who isn’t well versed in car lingo, they always explain what’s going on and I never feel taken advantage of. I won’t go anywhere else as this group is quick, efficient and affordable.

This is an amazing place to get an alignment. I went to America Tires to get some tires and I was referred to One Way Auto Repair & Services. The place is neat and they have a Cousy customer lounge with beverages and coffee. The manager and the employees are courteous and professional. I was in and out within 40 minutes. They did a very good work on my car. I will recommend this place for your wheel alignment and any repairs that you may need for your car.

This auto repair shop is outstanding!! We called them when stranded in LA with car troubles with our 2009 VW Beetle on a road trip from Northern California. Mike said without hesitation "Come on in, we'll take care of you". And they did, despite being very busy! Alex analyzed methodically and was a great communicator. These mechanics run a great shop, and have so much expertise! A couple of hours later we were able to drive home with no problems. So grateful for Alex and the team - these Angelenos truly care!

Took my 87' Volkswagen Cabriolet in for a fuel pump change... The experience was very efficient, the workers are friendly, and most importantly my beloved car is fix. Worth it. I shopped around for prices and found this shop to be fair. Don't get fool, take you car to the right place by doing some research and taking your car to different places. I can recommend this if you have an older vehicle and need a tune up.

I got a flat tire and needed a quick replacement. I was in a pinch, and this shop came through for me. Great service and honest work. 100% would come back. Thanks again!

They were super nice, and so efficient! I needed to get my brakes done and everywhere else I called wanted to charge me for an inspection, even though I knew I needed my brakes replaced, and said it would take up to three hours to complete. They had my brakes done in one hour and did my inspection for free(: They’re very friendly and fairly priced. I’m coming back and sending all my friends! Thank you!

Alex and Mike are amazing. I switched over to them based on recommendations from my neighbor and I am so glad I did! They we upfront about pricing, what I did/did not need done, and fixed my car in record time. The communicated with me throughout the entire process and left my car purring! Honestly, it has been a while since my car has been running on all cylinders like this (pardon the pun.) Thanks, guys!

Mike seem like a really nice and helpful guy at first then after a couple days of having my car and not being able to figure out exactly what was wrong with it still tried to charge me for doing a “test drive” but couldn’t point out the problem. Was very rude and insensitive! Claims he’s not the type of guy to just take your money unless he figure out the problem but did the opposite. Do better Mike!

The worst imaginable experience. I took my car in for some rear suspension work. I was quoted a price and time. After the week they said it would take, I get a call saying it’s gonna be a lot more work and money. It took a week to figure that out. They ended up almost doubling the price and extended the time twice more. The first time, when they told me the car would be ready, I showed up. AND THE CAR WASNT READY!!! I then had to make sure it was ready the next time. I had to be the one following up with them, making sure it was gonna be ready. When I got my car, the welding job they did was HORRIFIC. They definitely don’t know how to weld. The work was poor, the service was even worse. It’s places like this people fear and should definitely avoid. Do yourself a favor and keep looking for a different shop. This definitely isn’t the one you wanna go to.

Poor service. Called in to see if they were free and the owner said he'd be back in 15. It took 15 to get there and he was no where to be found. Waited around, but no one came to talk to us lol. Didnt like the way he spoke to me on the phone anyway so ended up leaving .

These guys are amazing. Just happened to walk in since it's the closest shop to my apartment and they've done wonders for my car. Completely replaced my front end body and fixed minor mechanical issues and always gave me honest, fair advice. Mike and Alex are the best car guys I've ever come across. Mike is so understanding and will help and work with you if you're in a bind, like I was lol. And Alex is always willing to fix little issues I'm having and get me back on the road in a snap. The highest of recommends. Will be going back for years to come.
