I have been coming here since about 1998 and I have never have a bad experience. No matter where I've lived in SoCal, I have always made the drive for the best and honest service. I refer everyone I know here, too!

Have been going to Mr.D's for many years now . Service and courtesy and honesty has not changed since day one . Always service done as quickly as can be done but with no short cuts . So many details that would take pages to write . Best to go down and see Mike and Qui and see what I mean.๐๐

I called and spoke to the owner and told him my car was shaking when I brake. He told me that my rotors needed to be turned, so I brought it in and had it done, for $160. After I got the car back it still shakes when I brake, so I went back. Now he's telling me it must be because my tires don't have much tread. Now I'm being told by someone else that my rotors are bad and they should have never turned them because they weren't thick enough to begin with. Now I'm stuck with a car that still shakes when I brake and we spent the only $160 we could spare, and Mr. D's is not interested in making things right. Scam artist!

Just doing BMW tech guesswork. Donโt take your European car there. Gave them all the time they needed. They donโt have a clue. Waste of time and unfairly overcharged for what they did do. Car floor mats pedals and all touch points covered in dirty grease when returned. Filthy shop.

Went in July 2017 for a headlight connection and bulb repair. After about 6 to 7 months the same bulb went out. Went back to Mr. Dโs and he told me that it was my problem and that he could not help me and I should bring it elsewhere to get fixed. He said, he would charge me the same amount, which is over $120 just to get it fixed again without a discount. Absolutely horrible customer service from the actual boss and I will NEVER go here again. I do not recommend this place!

#Mr. D's Automotive... FANTASTIC place for #BMW repair! Stopped by one day because of a #Service engine soon light, and the Service Manager resolved my matter within a few minutes and I was on my way. And he did it for free!! Wished me a Merry Christmas!! I returned a couple of weeks later because #BMW Long Beach quoted me a ridiculously high price for a specific repair on my #2006 BMW #X5. Mr. D's did the repair for HALF the price and then provided me with the opportunity to observe the mechanic. Steve, the mechanic was well informed of how my vehicle is designed and operates. Extremely smart man. Also most people are not aware that #Aftermarket parts are often made by the manufacturer and sold under a different brand name. I know this to be true and factual. I don't know about BMW specifically but true with many #Japanese vehicles. Needless to say I am now a customer for life!

Mr. D and the staff are great. I took my 2005 Toyota Corolla about six months ago for issues with starter, and Mr, D's automotive shop fixed it. Price is fair, staff has knowledge, and are reliable. Thank you Mr. D's automotive shop - happy holidays.

Honest, priced fairly, in 10 years I have never had to go back for the same issue. They have helped me keep my 12 year old car running smoothly. Saved money in the long run for a newer car. Hard working mechanics!

I would give -* if I had the option. I strongly Don't recommend going to this place for repairs. Especially SMOG check. They trap you in, just to get the money. I took my car in for a smog check. He said the car is not ready for smog because the system doesn't register it. So it wasn't ready. They still locked me in with the charge and paperwork. They said come back for a recheck. 4 days later, I blew my engine. So I went back to tell them, my car won't get smogged anymore. It needs a new engine. I said.. since the car wasn't smogged properly, I'd like my money back. He said No...it failed. I said How? You said it wasn't ready for smog. They are money hungry snakes. He could have just put his scanner, and told me it's not ready... drive it more miles and come back. That is what an honest shop would do. THEY LOST MY BUSINESS FOR LIFE ๐คจ

He's been my mechanic for over 10 years. Very good work and you get your auto repaired. Not just a fix so you'll have to bring your car in again. He is honest, reasonably priced and checks your issue completely. You will get quality auto repairs here.

My experience of service and repair is excellent. Manger is always honest, and explains the details of what's wrong and what needs to be repaired or changed and offers a fair price. I have brought several of my cars here and they were fixed with no errors. The mechanics are reliable, knowledgeable and honest with clean work. I have been quoted by other dealerships and mechanics and the prices were higher and not the exact problem what they mentioned, those other mechanics try to sell you something you don't need. Overall good service from a rebuilt transmission to a tune up.

Been going to Mr. Dโs for 13 years. These guys are hands down the best, most honest mechanics Iโve worked with. Iโve recommended them to several people and theyโve all had great experiences. These people offer FAIR prices for quality work. Theyโll never steer you wrong or try to fix unnecessary parts just to get more cash from you. Michael, the main person operating the company, is an incredible man with an incredible team. If you need a mechanic, come here!

I highly recommend Mr. D Automotive as a trustworthy repair shop. I have been bringing my cars here for many years and have always been impressed with their quality service and fair pricing. The mechanics are skilled and thorough, whether it's routine maintenance or more complex jobsโlike replacing an engine on my friend's car. I appreciate that they provide transparent invoices with clearly listed parts and labor costs. This reassures me that I'm not being overcharged or misled. On the rare occasion something isn't quite right after a repair, they are always friendly and willing to recheck and fix it at no extra charge. Most repairs are completed the same day, making them incredibly convenient. If you're looking for reliable and professional car repair services, Mr. D Automotive is an excellent choice!

I had a really good experience here. They handled the smog check for my box truck quickly and everything was done professionally from start to finish. The staff was friendly, the process was smooth, and they took care of the truck without any issues. I appreciate how straightforward and easy they made it. Iโll definitely come back and I recommend this place to anyone who needs a solid and reliable smog check.
