During a family vacation my vehicles water pump gave out and we were literally stuck in Rosemead. Found City Tech and was quoted a reasonable price. Was promised that my vehicle would be ready the next day and it was!!! Great people, Great Service and just an overall Great Place.

I have had some pretty stellar experiences with this place. I can never argue with the price. The first time I came in, I had a hole in my tire, and they patched it and filled all of the tires with air for $10, really quick. Recently, I went to get my timing belt replaced, and they replaced the timing belt, fasteners, tensioners, waterpump, and seals, all for $450, with factory parts. When I got in my car, it sounded kind of rough, and the coolant was bubbly. Immediately, when I got in, the mechanic said he needed to look at it and that I would need to wait another 30 minutes. It turned out that I needed a temperature sensor, and he put another one in that day for free. I go here all of the time for routine repairs, they are really fast, and they go the extra mile to make customers happy. When I got my timing belt replaced, they even washed my engine bay for free. You can't argue with that, and I even got all of this done, on a Sunday, in the same day. I am going to go to them for all of my routine repairs, and I recommend them to my friends. Give them a shout if you ever need anything.

The wait time was minimal for a smog check. To ensure no miscommunication, Ricky informed me what the prices were for the test and for the certificate. He also informed me what would be charged if my car did not pass inspection. I've been coming here many for at least 6 years for the quick and reliable service and will continue to do so in the future.

Good service and very honest from my experience so far. They stopped me from wasting money on brakes once because I didn't need them yet, was surprised and very grateful for the honesty. Oil changes are at a very good price, and smog check is available. The only downside is they are extremely busy, so it might be a little wait.

Not recommended at all. Usual scams of replacing belts and fluids when not needed. Always read the operators manual that comes with your car, or search it online (they made your car, they know whats best and when maintenance is needed). Major rip off on brake pads, payed for premium quality brakes pads but found out it was used and as cheap as possible pads after a month (i mostly use regenerative braking), could've done a full rotor (slotted and drilled) and brake pad(premium to racing grade) replacement with money payed just for the pad replacement. Car exited with a non-working parking brake, slips often when on a decline. They do have a good price on motor oil change, but its way more worth while and money saving to do a quick google on self done oil changes. The AutoZone just a small walk away are really helpful. You can also do a good 2-3 oil changes if you buy a 5qt container of good oil. Just remember the a new filter every oil change. (I personally don't trust what oil they will actually put in after all that) A good place for maintenance that is reliable and money friendly would be the Advanced Complete Auto Works which is only a mile away. On the occasion you can see a few car enthusiasts with nice cars here so you know they are good. >>Only reason to bring a car here is for a smog check, they work relatively quick. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH ANYTHING ELSE!!<< PS: If you read down the reviews, they like to get salty with bad reviews.(Often going through their own service records to pull names) Just shows how professional they are. In any claims of "being told if it was refurbished or not prior to service done" All that was said was that there were 2 options, the cheap possibly refurbished brakes for xx.xx$, or a set of new premium brakes for xx.xx$

Great price and great services you can get in the area. I do all my oil change and breaks. They do speak English, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Spanish here. I paid 50 ish for my synthetic oil change with my Honda 4 cylinder instead of 100ish from the other shop. Took about 40 minutes on a busy day and 20ish minutes if they not too busy.

Got a smog check here yesterday. I called first to check they’re open on Sundays. Google said they close at 3 PM. They were open and quoted me $45 for my car on the phone. When I got there, they finished in 15 minutes and gave me a paper for my records. They have a couch in their waiting area, which has AC. I’ll be back! (Also posted on Yelp)

I am super skeptical about mechanics and auto repairs in general, but this is the only place I have been where, as a young woman, I ask for a service, and it's done without lying to me saying that needs here and there. They respect my decision. I took my old car to this shop for about 6 years, and I never had my car breaking down after they gave maintenance, and I repeat: my car is old and rusty. I trust this business and it's hard to go somewhere else now that I moved.

When to City Tech because my 2017 BMW M4 oil temperature was fluctuating. Car was diagnosed at two other shops that could not figure it out. Anthony at City Tech got me back on the road my car runs perfect now. Thanks City Tech. Quality work and great customer service.

Worst place to take a car,could have taking this to civil court, but Im a man of my word, so for checking the car, they charge 80 dollars, ok so who still does that, there’s pro’s and cons for this option, I TOOK MY TRUCK FOR BRAKES pulsation when braking, the sterring wheel shakes when braking, so I said Ill leave it, I agree, but the answer they gave me was totally not related to the issue, Im 51 years old and I know an engine, they call me and said it was the engine, ?????, what, really, I told them, how can it be, how can this caise the sterring wheel shake wgen braking, I was totally sacamed by this asian auto shop, I paid them. But I was really upset, I dont recommend this place

Danny, Anthony, Ricky and their whole team are very efficient with their workmanship. They charge a fair price and they give practical advices if the part is worth buying original or OEMs for their clients to save some money. I highly recommend City Tech Auto Repair.

I had a very poor experience with City Tech Auto Repair, and I would not recommend this shop. I came here initially for brake pad replacement and general vehicle maintenance. After the new brake pads were installed, my car continued to make a very sharp, high-pitched braking noise, which clearly indicated an installation or workmanship issue. When I returned, the problem was not treated as a priority, even though it resulted from their own work. Instead, I was made to wait for an extended period. After the second repair attempt, the exact same issue remained unresolved. When I returned again, they refused to perform any further repair, citing that I had lost my receipt. Their explanation was that the receipt was handwritten, the shop was busy at the time, and the transaction was never entered into their system — therefore they could not find my record. This explanation is unacceptable. I had been to this shop multiple times, and their staff had seen me before. The lack of proper record-keeping should not become the customer’s responsibility, especially when the issue stems from their own installation. If you choose to come here, make absolutely sure: • Your information is properly recorded in their system • You keep all paperwork indefinitely • You do not rely on verbal promises Most importantly, be prepared to tolerate subpar workmanship and poor after-service support. This shop shows a serious lack of accountability, organization, and technical reliability.
