My car suddenly started making loud noises, and then my check engine light came on, so I was concerned that it was something serious. Since it was right after Christmas I was also concerned about how much it would cost. I looked around online for someone locally and started reading the different reviews. They mentioned that this place was honest and did great work. When I got there, there were a few people ahead of me, and more kept showing up, it was also close to lunch time, so I was concerned that it would take long for my car to get checked and worked on. A few minutes later my car was lifted and looked at, and the manager Paul told me, that my issue was not serious, it was only the oxygen sensor that had come loose, and it would only cost $30 for them to have it fixed. It's true, the manager Paul is very honest! They could have made up a story and told me it was something more serious to charge me more, but he didn't. My car was quickly fixed, and sounds normal now. I can see why people take the time to write good reviews about this place. I'd highly recommend them!

Paul is a great mechanic, he is kind professional and always comes through when you need him. I use my car for business so I need my repairs done fast. Paul has always been such a help when my car breaks down. Paul tells you how it is, charges a fair price and is fast!

One of the only good shops left. If there's an easy solution he will recommend it instead of charging you for a job that's unnecessary. Local legend , my whole family now comes here. Let's support this guy

Paul is awesome!!! Been my mechanic for over 10 years. He won't make you do unnecessary services and always tries to find affordable alternatives. When he does have to do a big service it's usually more than half the cost of dealerships. If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust, Paul is the man!!!

Paul is very honest and knows about his crafts. My car had a random misfire the other day. He took the car, and inspected it and gave me great suggestions. He did not even charge for this. Comparing to the dealership who charges 185 dollars for only inspections, Paul is such an honest and mechanic! A blessing to have him in our neighborhood!

I recently took my Tahoe to Express General Auto Repair in Alhambra for an oil change and a check-up, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The team was efficient and thorough, making sure everything was in great shape. Unlike the dealership, which claimed I needed new tires and brakes, the mechanics here were honest and confirmed that everything was fine. It's dope to find a repair shop that you can trust. I'll definitely be coming back for all my auto maintenance needs.

Most honest mechanic I have ever met! I called about scheduling maintenance on my car and explained an issue I was having. Paul immediately told me this should be a warranty issue and to go to my dealership. Thanks to Paul's suggestion, the dealership replaced my engine saving me thousands. Express General has Great service and the most reasonable prices. Paul will tell you what needs to be fixed now and what can wait. THANK YOU Paul!!

Always fast, reasonably priced, and friendly service. They explain exactly what needs to get fixed and why. Best auto shop I've been to, and I'll come back again and always recommend it to friends and family that need car repairs or servicing.

I've been using this auto shop for probably 20 years. Paul and his mechanics have always taken care of my cars, both for personal use and for work. It's very difficult to find an honest mechanic who knows what they're doing. I've found it all at this shop. Highly recommended.

What can I say that others haven’t said? Great service, friendly, and honest! I’m going on a roadtrip and wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to end up stranded in the desert, so I brought my car to be checked out. They did a good inspection of the car. Some wrote reviews saying that the people here have terrible service; maybe it’s the attitude you bring? They provide great service at a great price… do you want them to also wag their tail for you?

These are the kind of mechanics you need, I told myself...i brought in my truck to get a checkup before a desert trip and a regulator fix. They heard the misfire and I told him about the check engine light, the one that Spence and Frye took a thousand and some dollars to not fix it. Paul got obsessed about it and asked if he could keep it overnight -- he figured out the problem, which was two problems, the cylinder was fixed and he discovered that there was a contact messed up on the rear gate which was a ghost drain on the battery. Excellent work , and on a separate occasion John figured out a noise that I couldn't figure out and didn't charge for it

It was just a tire repair, but I'm very satisfied! On the road, 50 miles earlier, they wanted $70-$90 for a tire repair. But here, a kind and polite gentleman replaced the valve for $24, which he informed me about before the 10-minute repair. I highly recommend this workshop!
