The owner, John, is a master in his profession. He's fixed my car a few times in the last few years and always has done a great job repairing my vehicles.

John and his crew at Modern Auto Tech are very good at diagnosing and fixing the problem. I find them to be honest and fair. I've had a few cars and will not take mine anywhere else. Thanks John!

They’ve took me in on an emergency, despite the amount of work they already had, and took care of my car fast without charging me an arm and a leg. I really appreciate John and the team. The office has also followed up on an email, really professional.

My 20 year old car's check engine light came on and it was sorta chokey. Made an appointment and brought it in a couple days later. The mechanic told me the 4th cylinder was misfiring and was told to try an injector cleaner to see if that would help. That visit was free. Injector cleaner did help, but not all the way, so I brought it back and the plug and coil were replaced while I waited for $200>. Everyone was really nice and although I hope to never have car trouble again, I will undoubtedly be back. It's a bit hard to maneuver cars since there's only one entrance.

John Berberian at MAT has now taken care of the vehicles for 3 generations of our family. From older pickup trucks to new Mercedes. The crew there goes above and beyond in service and care. They have solved big issues with simple fixes (like my sun roof leak - just cleaned out the drain line!).. After our Mercedes Benz dealership charged us over $800 for transmission repair and it was still an issue. We took it to MAT. It turned out to be some missing engine mount bolts. They solved a problem that our dealership couldn't figure out and for a fraction of the cost.

JOHN and his brother are great mechanics and very honest people! They won't take advantage of people that are not well informed about automotive repair stuff. They are also first rate at diagnosis and repair of exotic and performance vehicles!

Horrible experience. I brought a 2012 VW car to this shop. When I first brought the car , Joe ( the manager/ owner / head mechanic) politely refused to work on my car , stating that he had to much work , and not enough workers . He said to give him 2 weeks , so I did . I called two weeks later , and he gave me the same excuse. So I let another 2 weeks go by . Eventually he scheduled me an appointment to look at it . I arrived at my appointment, he looked at my car for about 10 mins , but even as he was working on my car he was running around working on other cars ( I was not a priority) He did a scan , added some zinc to my engine, told me to buy some fuel cleaner and drive it around , and then said to contact him after that... He said this might help my specific issue , but also at the same time , he said that fixing the specific code ( Bank 1 air ratio fuel imbalance) was not the issue, but also that it was , and also that my entire engine might have to be taken apart or something to that effect. So I asked for a general estimate , he refused to give me any quotes ( more like ignoring the question altogether) I had a pretty high budget for what I was willing to spend on the car Eventually I called him back after a couple of months and asked again if he could give me a quote, to fix the specific code ( bank 1 air ratio fuel imbalance) he again mostly ignored the question and referred me to some other shop 30ish miles away . Once we were getting off the phone I heard some unprofessional/rude comments just before the call dropped. I am very disappointed with my experience ... That is the nicest way I can say it ...

John is amazing. The only honest mechanic I know. He doesn't charge you for unnecessary repairs. He works fast and gives you back your car as soon as possible.

Master Auto Tech is true to its name! I had issues with an oil leak and more with my wife’s 2015 Audi A3 convertible. I brought it into the Audi dealership and they gave me such a high price, that I had a hard time believing it. I chatted about this with an associate of mine who pointed me to Master Auto Tech in Pasadena. The owner John looked at my car…. He explained what the issue could be and put me at ease. They did a deep dive into the car and a couple of days later told me the car was ready. I showed and John explained in detail the problems they found, and the work involved (they even took care of other issues found). The pricing was fair and still less than the dealership. It is great to find a place that cares not only about the car but the customer as well (you’re not a number there). I can’t recommend John and Master Auto Tech enough. They earned my trust and my business!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. John is thorough, honest and detailed. John took the time to find out what was wrong with a leaking coolant issue that another mechanic closer to my home could not find and was replacing parts that didn't need to be replaced. John had to get under the engine to detect this problem. He took video/photos showing me what was happening. He explained to me what needed to be done. He put everything in writing, explaining what he did. He gave me the defective part. Then he called me four days later to see to how the car was doing. That is EXCELLENT SERVICE! I highly recommend John and Modern Auto Technology 100%.

Although I'm a repeat customer, I always appreciate the polite, attentive and professional service. Starting from the office attendant, Hamek (I can never pronounce her name correctly) is an excellent listener regarding my auto service request. Most importantly, the repairs are done without me needing to return for warranty work and the rates are very reasonable. Keep up the good work guys!
