Mr. Nick Larsen and his staff went above and beyond replacing my daughter's catalytic converter. It was backed order for 2 months but he came through with the parts and my daughter's car was finished in 12 days!! Thank you all for your excellent care and service. Going through the insurance and getting updates daily from Mr. Larsen put my mind at ease. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! YOU WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!

Had an awesome first visit here. First thing to mention is that Owner Nick Larsen is kind and respectful. Things about his business that impressed me are honest opinions, detailed and clear explanations if needed and will even prioritize the services for you and didn't make you feel any pressure to do work that wasn't necessary and can be safely delayed. I would recommend him for your next car service or just stop by to get honest opinions. Thanks

Came here with my sister to pay, and they were very patient and professional. We really appreciate the people at the front desk and of course, everyone who worked to fix her car and get it back to us as soon as possible! Thanks a bunch! Would definitely recommend :)

Highly recommend!! Nick the owner and his team always go the extra mile and are honest, fair and supportive every step of the way. As a business owner that relies heavily on the high functioning of our company cars, I rely heavily on Larsens expertise, rapid responsiveness, and thorough and detailed work. They will work with you to prioritize and find the highest value solution always. If you have car troubles or just need a service call Larsens.

Best customer service we have ever received when dealing with difficult car repairs! Not only did they get me in without an appointment they treated me as if I was a long time customer. Their prices are very fair and honest, no price gouging here. I look forward to dealing with you guys again on some preventive maintenance. Thank you so much for a great experience and getting my car back on the road asap!

Came here because it had great reviews, I was skeptical. However I told them I needed an oil change and to check if my car was leaking, among other stuff. They only change the oil and gave me an estimate of all the issues, which were prioritized. They were very clear and stated my car was not leaking. This was my first great impression since I ve been to other shops and they try to charge for everything, even things that are not even broken.

Had a great first visit here. Owner Nick Larsen is extremely kind from the jump and will give you an honest opinion. He explained the services clearly and didn't make me feel any pressure to do work that wasn't 100% necessary. 10/10 experience--I've found my new go-to mechanic.

I cannot recommend this shop enough. They took my car in with really short notice and had it fixed faster than any shop I have ever dealt with. Everyone I spoke with was really communicative and professional!

Probably the best mechanic shop in this side of the city. Honest, reliable, and good commucation. They fixed a very small thing during my regular maintainance for free and didn't even bother to tell me that. I didn't notice it until I "finally" got the time to take care it but notice it was already taken care of. Their price is very fare considering the quality of their work. My "go-to" shop as long as I as I live in LA.

My battery died and when jumping it, AAA said it might also be an alternator issue. Lucky for me, Larson was close so I brought it there. They tested the battery and replaced it and after checking the alternator, said that it was fine. Thanks for the honesty! The final cost was a bit pricey (the hourly rate seemed a little high but maybe that s what 2023 charges are now?) but the service was great. Thank you Larsen team!

Honest, fast, quality work and affordable.Larsen Automotive reminds me of garages from the past; they replace what they can't fix and fix what they can saving me a bunch of cash. In my experience, other shops have replaced all parts that were damaged rather than trying to fix the part themselves.This is my go to shop.Services: Exhaust, Steering & suspension repair

Great service at Larsen as always. They go the extra mile to ensure your car is right. Always try to find the most economical way to repair, and never do unnecessary work.

Larsen Automotive was incredible! I live nearby and had my first flat tire. I didn t have time to do research - I just called the nearest place. Nick picked up and told me to come over right there. He saw the damage and fixed it within 10 minutes. Now I can t speak much about their other services, but what I can say is how they assured and confident they made me feel. Nick was super helpful - and right to the point. I was in and out in less than 20 min.Thank you again Nick and Larsen Automotive. I will be back!

I have taken two cars for a half dozen surfaces at Larsen's, and I won't go anywhere else! The owner Nick, is friendly, personable, and takes the time to let you know what is truly necessary versus what can wait. When crooks stole my catalytic converter, he replaced it, worked with my insurance, and installed a cage to prevent it from happening again. Love this place!Services: Auto exhaust system replacement, Auto maintenance

Trying to get written estimate on diagnostic, tuneup, and fuel injection replacement. They gave me excuse that they don't do written estimates.

Fantastic experience!.We are from out of state. My son is in LA attending his first year in college. He had concerns with his brakes and we know absolutely nobody in the area. I did my research, read reviews, and spoke with Lily who assured me she would take good care of my son. I was terrified we d be screwed over as many mechanics unfortunately do so.Instead we were given the best honest customer service.They looked over everything and gave me constant updates. His car was checked thoroughly to get him back on the road safely.I am beyond grateful for the honesty and care Lily and the Larsen team gave me and my son!Service: Brakes
