Our car's check engine light appeared on the same day after we took it back from dealership service. Unfortunately, they were no help with the issue. So we find Piechowski and called in the morning, they got us right in! John was very helpful, descriptive, and honest. It turned out to be nothing and they didn't charge us for that. We are very grateful! I highly recommend them and definitely will come back for the maintenance. Honest safe pair of hands deserve respect and a good earn!

I was looking for a good auto place to get my general maintenance done, as I had paid off my lease and didn't want to deal with the dealership's prices. So a friend recommended this place and said his wife had brought her Prius in for years and loved the service. The volume of enthusiastic Yelp reviews and the fact that it was reasonably close to where I live had me convinced. I called the shop and spoke to John (Piechowski, brother of Ken) one morning and he had me in the next day.John was simply wonderful. A very affable guy who's been at it for decades and clearly really cares about doing great work and giving people an honest price. He explained things in valuable detail and patiently answered a number of questions for me as well. And when I saw the invoice, I thought I had been undercharged. He even helped me with some windshield buildup and managed to remove the dealer sticker that had been welded on forever.I'll certainly be back for future service, and I would absolutely tell people to trust this team as well. Thank you so much!

Trustworthy. Kind. Reasonable. Knowledgeable. Looked over my car with care, attention, and professionalism. The auto center in which all others ought to be measured. Wish there were more Piechowskis in the world, honestly.I ve taken two vehicles to be serviced and repaired here. Always so punctual, honest, and prices are so reasonable for the quality and expertise you re getting.

I went to Piechowski Auto Center for 4 years. The mechanics are very experienced and honest. Would recommend very highly. One telling experience was when I found that there was sometimes some smell while using the AC. They checked the AC and the car, and said they didn't find any issues, and so didn't charge me a penny. It turned out that the problem was not with the car. It was just that when I went through Carson, which is quite smelly, the smell would enter the car. Had I went to some other mechanic, they would have extorted hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

Great experience. Dropped in around opening, and were able to have my car maintenance done in less than 2 hours. Also saved at least $50 in comparison to the dealership. Will be coming back again.

All the reviews are true. These guys truly are the best out there. They are reliable, efficient, price fair, and do a great job maintaining my car. They deserve every 5 star review.My only advice is to come as soon as they open at 0730 because demand for their services is so high you'll probably have trouble getting serviced if you come later. Maybe I shouldn't have given that away.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil change

My family has used the brothers for a decade maybe two. Couple weeks ago the clutch master cylinder went out on my Tacoma. Had it diagnosed and repaired in a day and a half. Shocked at how honest they were about the repair and the cost. This is something I've personally done before and I know the part cost as well. Straight honestly in an auto repair shop is sadly rare.

I'm fairly new to the area and always noticed how busy their garage was. When I needed an oil change I thought I'd give them a try. My car is now having an issue that unfortunately they don't fix, but they gave me a recommendation to another garage and didn't charge me for just looking at it. They are some of the most straightforward and honest mechanics I have ever met. Even though they can't fix this other issue, I fully plan on using their recommendation AND using them for all other issues.Outstanding service and wonderful people!Service: General repairs & maintenance

I literally cannot say enough good things about the fellas who run this shop. I've been coming here for over 12 years and as someone who used to have their dad fix all their car issues, finding a trustworthy mechanic 2000 miles away was stressful to say the least. Fortunately fresh off the 10 drive here, John was recommended to me by a friend and he's been a literal godsend on so many occasions ever since. Excellent work, fair prices, honesty when necessary (like "don't sink any more $$ into this oil leaking wreck" he was right) and just an all around great group of guys. So grateful and fortunate to have you all in the neighborhood.

Great service, very affordable and if you manage to get there early enough, they can have your car settled fairly quickly! Obviously that depends on the fix needed but I was done in around a hour. Would recommend very friendly, even brought me out a chair so I could sit and wait since I didn t have a ride!Services: Tires, BrakesServices: Tires, Brakes

I normally don t even leave reviews but I had to here. A dealership tried to charge me $1,100 for what John fixed for $80! My AC was out and it s hot. That price difference doesn t even make sense. It was a simple fix and he had it done in a couple hours. Didn t try to upsell me. Didn t try to swindle me. Very personable, talked about lives on a macro level and treated me great. I ll be taking all my business and referrals here. He s been working on cars for over 30 years!

I never leave reviews but I feel like I need to, to show my gratitude. Hands down with out a doubt the most honest reliable trustworthy mechanic in LA! I know when I drop my car off for work or basic maintenance I m in the best hands with Jon and his brother

My car was making a grinding noise, I stopped by as my very good friend recommended me to them. The owner Ken, stopped what he was doing, to give me the due attention, went under my car on the street and said it was the brakes. They did the job in the same day, my car sounds amazing. I am very thankful. In regards to the price, I trust is fair.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Im new to the area and needed a trustworthy shop. A friend recommended PAC and said it was the best experience she had with a shop by far. I can now second that opinion. John was great to do business with. I will for sure return for all my car needs. Thanks!

If I could give these guys 10 stars I would. The last two times I brought my car into this place, the issue I was having somehow corrected itself, but Ken and his team were still gracious enough to look at and test the car. When they confirmed there was no issue, I asked if I could pay them for their time but they would not take my money. Unbelievably kind and generous.Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance

Amazing first experience with Piechowski Auto Center. Noticed I had a loose Front Valance, called in the morning and they were able to get me in immediately. Was in and out within 15 minutes. Great people and will definitely be back for future repairs.

Kenny is a gem. Conscientious, knowledgeable and committed to making sure repairs are done right. We've been coming to him for decades.

I never leave reviews, but I honestly had to for this guy. Ken was a stand up man and fixed my oil leak for free because it was a simple fix and only took him a minute. Actions like that make me feel like he would treat you right when your car is really having something go wrong with it. I'll definitely be coming back here, but hopefully not any time soon!

Extremely happy with the service here. Dropped my car off for some maint and a smog inspection and it was done in like 3 hours. They even took it down the road for me to have the smog inspection done since they don't do it in house.Really glad I chose them for my car maint and definitely will be a return customer.

Just the best mechanic you could ask for. I've dropped my car off for emergencies and general preventative service and everytime I feel like I'm getting honest, trustworthy service and advice for more than a fair price.In the past when I knew there was something strange going on with the car I would put it off for as long as I could because I didn't want to deal with a mechanic or the usual price gouging and bait and switch tactics. Now that I've experienced what care care can be like at Piechowski I'm more proactive because I know Ken will take care of me.

Have had the pleasure of having Kenny look after a number of cars over the past 20 years. My daughter is scheduling to go there with her first car. Thrilled to be able to recommend such a professional.
