I was on my way to pick up lunch for my office when my temperature light started flashing and beeping like crazy. I popped the hood and instantly saw coolant all over my engine, the remaining coolant was draining at a significant pace. I knew if I wanted to avoid any further damage to the engine I couldn t drive further than a few hundred feet, and even that was pushing it. I was supposed to be back to work in 20 minutes and was stressed about possibly waiting for a tow truck. I noticed a lot of garages and warehouses where I broke down and decided to do a quick Google search to see if any mechanics were near by. That s how I came to find Expert Auto Care.I called and spoke to Sly, he told me to head over and he would take a look at my car right away. A 200 ft drive later and I was there. He noticed instantly that it was a cracked radiator, not surprising as I drive a 10+ year old car. He took me inside, and did a quick estimate. He even attempted to get the part same day to try to have the car mended before end of day. The supplier wasn t able to have it in until early the next morning, he assured me that as long as the part was received before noon he could have the car done. He mentioned he would also call if anything else came up during inspection when they replaced the radiator. A co-worker picked me up and I was back at my office with only a 12 minute delay. Incredible.Sly called me the next day, and the car was ready. When I arrived not only was my car running perfectly, but my AC was blasting colder than ever as Sly and his team had noticed an issue with the ac system. They replaced a hose I believe, and recharged the AC. I was appreciative, and asked how much the estimate had changed. It hadn t. They did it at time of service at no charge. He saw it and couldn t ignore it as he knew to get to the AC area again would be labor intensive. Such a kind gesture, and the type of business I feel that few people do anymore.As a Woman it s always nerve racking to goto the mechanic. I ve never felt so lucky to need a car repair. Now I have a local mechanic that I completely trust and will goto for any needed repairs in the future. Sly is also a blast to talk with! Personable and easy going. This is the type of place you go and feel like family. I couldn t recommend this auto shop more. I am truly so grateful to have found Expert Auto Care.Thank you to sly and his team for getting me out of a bind and back on the road!

My mechanic for years. Honest, reliable, expert in all they do. Have serviced ALL my cars for past 15 years. Never had any complaints, never had a breakdown, never failed an inspection, and always got top dollar when I traded a car - because of excellent maintenance.

Sly and Mike are the best of all. I have been taking my car to them for more than ten years and never been disappointed. The longer you take your vehicle to them, the better they get to know it. Fair prices, prompt service, straightforward and professional yet personable. Be sure to mention if you're a AAA member. One caveat: they don't sell nor install tires but they do everything else.Can't say enough good things about Expert Auto Care.

Ten stars...best of the best! Sly, owner, & Mike, ASE certified mechanic, have maintained & repaired my cars (Toyota & Infiniti) for over 25 years. They provide top notch customer service, quality workmanship, economically viable recommendations & approaches on preventive maintenance, and very fair billing. Several times, they have taken me to the auto bay & shown as well as explained to me any vehicle repair/maintenance issues so I have a much clearer understanding. They have always accommodated my requests for early morning appointments to change oil & do routine maintenance. Price estimates are offered up front, & are detailed & honest. If they find an issue while performing maintenance, they will contact you to discuss maintenance options, provide materials & labor estimates, & obtain your approval prior to proceeding.Prior to finding Expert Autocare through AAA, I had some miserable experiences w/other auto repair shops. However, since doing business w/Expert Autocare, I've never felt safer & my car always seems to run better after a visit!Thank you so much, my friends Sly & Mike, for your knowledge, honesty, integrity & trustworthiness!

I came to this shop with a WRX that had just blown it's engine. I was far from home and without the tools or space to work on the car myself so I asked AAA to find a shop nearby to take the car to. I'm very happy AAA sent me to Expert Auto Care. Sly is honest, knowledgeable, and patient. After waiting for me to have my new engine delivered, he alerted me quickly that the transmission was the cause of the failure, waited for me to find a replacement transmission, and informed me of a couple other things that needed attention and would save me money to get done right then while everything was exposed. Sly has definitely earned my trust and even though I live in Long Beach, if I need work done on a car I will take it out to Expert Auto Care.

Sly has taken care of my domestic cars for over 8 years now and I get a fair deal. They are honest and I feel comfortable giving them my cars to take care of.

Sly is the best. He's been working on my 92 Ford Bonco 5.8 liter v8 for fifteen years and it still runs like a top.

Sly Aldada, I very much appreciate your diagnosis! The idle motor that you replaced solved my problem. Moreover, I appreciate the fact that you know the Lord and I know I can trust you. Not to mention that you are less than one half mile from my home. God bless!
