I scheduled an oil change and an overall operational inspection on my vehicle. They fit me in promptly and Tim explained everything they were going to perform when I dropped my car off and he followed through with those intentions. I was given a call in regards to suggested repairs that weren't discussed upon the drop-off prior to any work completed. The shop is professional, efficient, and maintains fair pricing for services. Tim provided me excellent customer service today, and I'm very pleased that I switched mechanics. Highly recommend Garage 88!

The mechanics did a great job replacing the starter on our 2014 Mazda 3. They did a complete safety inspection. Nova was great. I thought there was a fault with a temperature sensor but it turned out to be a non-issue. He could have charged me for an un-needed replacement but he didn't. This will be our go-to auto repair place. Great work!

I am so happy with the service I have received here. Nova was absolutely amazing to work with. He gave me the best advice that was catered to my situation. They took really great care of my car. I also love their system that shows exactly what they are planning to do and how much each part will cost, and the labor. Very straightforward, honest, and kind! I highly recommend Garage 88 to all my friends, family, and anyone who needs a trustworthy mechanic to take care of them.

You know that feeling of anxiety and uncertainty that comes with going to a new mechanic? I didn't experience that at Garage 88. First and foremost, the shop is impeccable. From the moment we stepped foot on the lot we could tell the owner and techs all take pride in their work. Nova, (the owner I believe), was kind and professional. We explained what our car troubles were and pretty much told us how he would reverse engineer it to find the cause. I just got an all around honest vibe. It was a much different experience than our previous mechanic and the dealership, those joints were truly a rip off! We hands down recommend Nova and his crew. The icing on the cake is the shop software he uses for invoicing, approvals and such. Easy Peasy! I run an HVAC co so those things matter to me. lol

Best mechanic shop I've ever been to. You know that feeling you get when you walk into a mechanic shop? Its durty, it's smells of oil and every surface looks like they dragged a car part over it? that feeling you get, "they are about to try and rip me off"? You get none of that here. It's clean, it's fresh, everyone is super knowledgeable and everyone seems genuinely honest. Loved it.

I searched 6 other shops before finding Nick at Garage 88. He was responsive by text and I felt comfortable enough to drive from Korea Town to here to have lift springs installed onto my rav4. He also gave me the best price by far! The car looks great and I am super satisfied with the work! Would definitely come back here. If you’re looking for shop that is affordable, honest and provides excellent customer service, I highly recommend Garage 88.

I recently had major suspension work done on my truck, along with oil change, tranny fluid, replaced power steering hoses and replaced a broken CV joint. I was quoted a fair price, work was done in a timely manner. Nova kept me in the loop of timing and Frank did an excellent job taking care of my truck. Took my other To er day today for some TLC! Nova and his crew are amazing! Highly recommend Garage 88 for anyone that needs some work done on their car. There is usually a variety of cars there from American muscle cars to imports.

Great service. Fair pricing. You get a detailed email with explanations and it’s broken down part by part with pricing and pictures. So helpful and easy to understand. Nova is fast and efficient. Stephanie at the desk is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this garage. They got my car done fairly quickly too.

the now hiring sign should be a tell tale sign. let’s charge 140 for an oil change when the work required already should have included the oil change. 1k for spark plugs folks if you want it, it’s here. no communication, my car sat for weeks with no updates. just to finally be told i am screwed after they already charged thousands of dollars from me

Yesterday Nova and his crew at Garage 88 provided my 2010 Toyota Rav4 with a much needed comprehensive tuneup, break job, oil change, and replaced a 250,000 mile old radiator that was just beginning to leak. As I drove my car afterward it reminded me of the first time I drove it off the Toyota lot, and later as I drove through a narrow garage ramp (when the cement walls are on either side and the sound of the engine can be observed) I thought for a moment I was driving a new Lexus or something, as I hadn't heard my engine purring along like a fine tuned perfect machine for quite some time. It was very beautiful to hear the effortless purring of an engine as aged and used as my Rav4's engine is. It's always a distinct pleasure to invest in my car's safety and well-being with Nova and his Garage 88 mechanics and super kind office staff, Stephanie & Tamar, in play. It's a good vibe that carrys through on all the road miles between the usually annual checkups. 265 days of confident safety and pleasurable driving. Thanks, guys! John Sebastian

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars I know my way around cars and usually handle most of my own repairs, so I’m always cautious when I need to take something in. Garage 88 earned my trust. They gave me a fair, straightforward estimate with zero upselling or nonsense. The prices were honest no gouging or taking advantage of people who might not know cars. The work was done right, on time, and without any surprises. Hard to find a shop like this anymore, and I’m definitely coming back next time I need something done.

I’ve gotten my car serviced at several shops in the valley and Garage 88 has had the best service at fair prices. I got my struts and wheel bearings replaced recently and they work fast, are friendly and helpful. Couldn’t recommend them more!

Nova and his staff are top-notch: Personable, non defensive, and they won't find something wrong for the sake of charging the customer. Nova is pretty direct. And his front desk staff is lovely. Please support your local businesses especially during these crazy economic times.

Absolutely the best experience that i've had with an mechanic shop. I called ahead of time and was assured I can tow my van and drop it off same day even through this was Christmas week. They are a licensed and approved RepairPal service center for Carmax and work with the MaxCare warranty. It was a great experience dropping off my van, I shared all my issues and concerns and was assured they'd all be addressed. I was called the next day with the updates on the van and they got right to fixing everything. In 2 business days my van was diagnosed, serviced, and ready for pick up. Upon pick up the wonderful receptionist remembered my name and had me out the door in a few minutes. I'm blown away by the service and customer service that came from Garage 88 and would take my van back if I have the opportunity.

Tamar & Nova at Garage 88 do things better. It's not easy to find a reputable auto shop but that's exactly what I found here at Garage 88. Decades of experience, owners who actually care & technicians that don't do unnecessary work. I've taken cars into auto shops for years and it's really hard to find consistency. Everyone I've spoken with that's used their services is happy they did. If you, or someone you care about, are planning on taking a trip, bring your vehicle in to Garage 88 to have them look things over. They might catch something that's life saving. Thanks for always delivering fair pricing & integrity. Tell them John sent you & they'll treat you like family.
