Took my son's Jeep there for repair. Angel met us and explained the issue. Nice guy. No review yet since we have not picked up the car yet. Good feeling with this shop initially.

Always come to this guy because he is fair on price and does quality work. I've been coming here the last five years.

This has been my go to repair shop since I bought my first car back in 2005. The staff is friendly and always find a way to handle whatever situation I've had with my vehicles. No matter the service, you are always given options on how you want to handle your situation so you don't feel like being ripped off. Great prices on tires and alignment. Highly recommend if you are in the area or don't mind driving a bit for great service.

Angel is absolutely amazing, he is super honest and I have taken all my cars to him and never had an issue. I recommend him to many people that have also fallen in love with his work. If he isn't 100% sure of what has to get done he let's you know, and won't stand around guessing and wasting your money. Their work is under a one year warranty. This place is the best

This place is amazing! I called and they quoted me $50 to realign my car ... Turned out I needed 2 new tires as well. Got used ones and all was $110 out the door and my car was back on the road in 1 hour! Amazing friendly honest service. Highly recommended!thank you El Colonia!

Great job, quick, I'd go back! Had a tire blowout and needed to get only 1 used tire. I read some other good reviews of them and they lived up to it. Good personalities, professional, they were busy but got me in and out in 15 min with a good price about $30 for a pretty good condition used tire.

I usually do the oil changes myself but I didn t want to do it this time. Once my oil change was done I thought everything was good until I noticed my car driving rough, when I got home I turned the car off and her a sizzling sound so I checked the oil afterwards and in the morning to make sure and it was WAYYY OVERFILLED! They really could of damaged my engine like that!! So I ended up fixing the oil level myself since they lost my trust. I don t know why there s mechanics like this around specially in these times I paid 30$ for them to nearly damage my car never going again.

Great Overall... Always does their best to help out any customer with any car related issue with complete honesty. If you go in for a specific issue and there is another issue that can occur or will occur based on your car's current condition, they will tell you immediately before they start or until they themselves have discovered it. Either way they will always let you know what's best for your car.

So I have went to this place twice and had the same results both times. So take my advise and don't go to this shop.The first time I went was just to get an alignment they gave me a decent deal and sound like some pretty nice guys who know what they're doing.When I got my car back I was missing front end components and they charged over $500 to replace them. So I assumed that maybe they was missing the whole time especially because I just bought the car and didn't know much about it.The second time i went to this place was to fix an oil leak on a different car. They told me that it was leaking from a few different places along with the transmission leaking from some lines. So I told them to fix them. they charged me a decent price and again seemed like some straight up guys. So it took a few days and when I picked up my car I taught every thing was good I made it home about a mile away with no issues.But when I got into my drive way the check engine light started flashing and on the message center it said engine power reduced then the oil light came on and the tc light and on the message center it said service traction controle.So i went back to them barly making it there the car died out 4 times and its only 1 mile awayWhen I got there they told me the car is over heating. But the temp guage was normal. I assumed they know more then me being they are the mechanics. But they soon realized that it was not over heating at all. Then tried saying that they are not responsible for it. But agreed to go over there work to see if they caused the issue. So I left it there for a few more days just for them to look at it. And the boss told me yes we found the problem and we fixed it. Your car is ready to be picked up.But when I got in the car all of the same problems was still there. I asked if he drove the car himself he said yes I told him let's go for a drive now. He drove the car claiming this is how it is supposed to be. But the engine power was still reduced and felt like trash misfiring and barly staying started. Again he did not want to fix the issue so I took my car and brought it home and said I will never deal with them again!So don't let this happen to you they will break something still some thing or all together just try to scam you in any way possible

Bought my own supplies from Parts for less needed rear brakes. So far everything seems to be fine. Paid $160 for labor. Pads discs and calipers were $110 cheeper than what Angel quoted me bringing my own which I put towards the oil and filter change for $70. I insisted on Full Synthetic but God alone knows if he gave it. I did sense a bit of dishonesty from the Shop so I will not give the 5 stars. But all in all I am satisfied and I have encountered no problems

Omg save your time and money ! Bunch of con artist , especially Walter ! I was told something was wrong with my vehicle that would cost 400-500 dollars , then went for a second opinion and was informed all I needed was oil . What a sham! They should be praying for forgiveness for how wrong they are doing people!!! And my rating for this place is zero stars

You're paying for your vehicle's destruction.From loose header bolts to half filled coolant after a coolant system flush.Stop, turn around and run to the next one. There's an abundance of mechanic shops in LA County on every block. Don't take your chances here.

Friendliest guys in town. I've gotten amazing deals on used tires here in the past. Today I just wanted to recycle my oil from an oil change. They didn't hesitate to help me immediately with a smile. Firestone used to let me recycle there. Today there were no smiles and a refusal at Firestone (7th and Locust, dtlb). I won't be going there again and I'll be telling ten friends as well.Thanks guys!

Great service! No upselling or scaring you into services or parts that you don't need. This is a safe place for women who don't know a lot about cars to go. Angel is terrific!

SCAMMERS- MICKEY MOUSE WORK.Go to this place if you don't care about your car... these are the guys are professional scammers, give you a cheap price to bring you in and damage your vehicle.... if you need a spot go to hi flow on long beach blvd and ask for pepe its a female friendly also meaning he doesn't upmark his prices just because your a female ...
