I really like the idea of a place where I can work on my car out of the whether, with a lift and have all tool necessary. Unfortunately, it looks like I missed the hay day of this service.I attempted to book a spot online. When I never received a confirmation I called the shop on Tuesdaty. I was told they were short staffed, but the guy on the phone confirmed me for 10am on Sunday. I asked him to make sure there would be a lift available since I was coming a distance. He said there was plenty of room.Fast forward to Sunday. I show up at 10:00 and no one is there. The place looks like it went out of business by the looks of the grounds. Weeds growing out of the pavement, random trash and debris all over the place. However, I decided to give him a chance and wait to see if maybe he's a few minutes late. When he doesn't appear by 10:30 I call, no answer. I call again at 10:45, once again no answer. At 11:15 I give up and head home. At 12:15 he finally calls back because he just got to the garage and tells me I can come back. I let him know I'm already on my way home and to far to come back.This is a classic example of a great idea run by someone who is to lazy to actually run a business.

I was referred here by my friend Ilya who owns an M3. Theres a lot of DIY I can do on my BMW E46 so Im incredibly thankful to have a place like this who will allow me their space to get my hands dirty.They were quick and helpful for getting me set up (lift function and tool availability/layout etc).People, this is a DIY shop not "I need people to help me" shop. So keep that in mind. Know what you are getting into. Do your research!That said I now have my new sway bar links installed. They were completely busted and I could not afford to pay someone to fix them. Took me close to 2 hours.Highly recommend and will DEFINITELY be back.

Staff is pretty friendly and accommodating. As a 20-year veteran auto mechanic, it's nice to be able to do my own work or verify work done by others. I've been here several times and will be happy to return.

Joe is the MAN!!!!!!!Called to ask if there was room to do some painting on my steering rack before I installed it & he said there's room & it wasn't busy. I was planning to show up early but came really late at 5pm. Joe was really nice & offered me TWO HOURS past closing time to finish the job, knowing how much time it would take to get it done. I've never felt such kindess & courtesy from an owner!!I couldn't have done this AMAZING work without the help of Joe so THANK YOU!!!!!If you're a DIYer & like to fix on your car with no hassles from the cops, come over here! The rate is really fair!

Got to the spot, waited like 10mins for a lift to become available. Joe educated me on the lift, with 10+ years of experience never worked on lift so he gave me the quick run through which was much appreciated, I was there to do lower control arms and knocked it out and a few other things QUICK. What a great experience love this spot. Gives you the freedom to aim at bigger mods. Joes great and knowledgeable. Good vibes, definitely will be back again.Service: General repairs & maintenance

You get to rent out the lifts which is super cool. You're literally on your own so mechanic experience needed. They have most tools for you to borrow, but I brought some of my own just incase they didn't have what I needed.

I had an amazing experience at Your Dream Garage. I have very basic mechanical skills and required additional support on problem solving when I encountered a serious problem. Manuel who works at the shop was not only professional but he was kind and supportive and made himself available when I needed his expertise. In addition he came in on a day the shop is closed understanding my situation and again assisted me in completing the repair. Finally, this shop is equipped with all the necessary tools to make any repair possible.Service: General repairs & maintenance

My project was taking longer than expected and the owner had someone come in to stay with me and let me continue working on my car. I will definitely come back! The entire staff was friendly as well

This place is great and ran by good people. They have all the tools you could need. It's quite a deal I don't know how they make money. I'm jealous I wish I owned the shop. What a badass location!!!

Our car's AC broke down on a weekend while on a cross country road trip. The AC breaking down in the hottest part of the country (Arizona at the time) in the hottest time of the country (August) is not fun. Did I mention it was the weekend where practically every other place was closed or closes early? This place was open and had good ratings, and after going there I can see why.These guys managed to help us fix the issue super fast as we were on a strict timeline to return with hotels already booked and work obligations waiting for us. Honestly it seemed like a miracle. Between Chance, Miguel, and Joe, all the guys were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional.Their price was more than fair considering how fast they had to work. If I lived in the LA area I would definitely go to them for all auto repair work. Back in NYC now, and AC is still working!Services: A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Oil change

Manny, a very friendly and helpful attendant, checked us in and explained everything. They provide a very useful service. I would definitely use this place for any DIY car projects.

This place is incredible. I ve now brought all three of my cars here to do work and have had a great experience every time. Disregard any rating lower than 5 stars. They have great equipment and all of the tools necessary to handle everything from an oil change to an engine swap. Lifts (check), power tools (check), air tools (check), WiFi (check), oil canisters (check). Joe is great and super helpful if you run into an issue. Look forward to coming back for many years to come.Update 6.30.21 - Just finished visiting their new location and it is just as good as the previous location. There are four bays (one outside), and all the usual tools. Changed my oil here and was in and out in an hour. Miguel is great and I look forward to working here in the future. Money well spent.

I never had the opportunity to use a lift until now. I need one in my garage. It was great having all of these tools at my disposal. I do wish the torque wrenches were a higher quality brand (Harbor Freight house brand).The guy working here was very helpful and explained how to use any and every tool I needed. He even lent a hand when I got stuck.I love the idea, I love the experience, but it could definitely use a major scrub down. I know with so many people using the place it's tough to keep it tidy, but the workstations and general facilities could use a little spring cleaning is all I'm saying. The greasy cardboard on the floor, the tool handles, etc. I bet if they offered free garage time a lot of people would be willing to help clean.A little dirt here and there aside, I'll definitely go back when I need a lift.

This place is great for doing your own car work, usually has every tool you need!

Great for newbies and pros. Clean facility, very helpful staff and well-organized tools available at each bay. Was not intimidating to a first timer, and girl, doing her own brake pad replacement. I was left alone enough to figure things out on my own, but staff was always available and friendly when I asked for help.

Perfect little garage for fixing the little problems that car services will charge you 10X for...

I've been using Your Dream Garage for about 3 years. I've always had a good experience here. I had an opportunity to use the new Rosemead garage about 2 weeks ago. They are still in the middle of setting up so it was a bit messy. Nonetheless, it's great to be able to rent a lift and all the tools to get the job done. As always, a good experience.

This is the Perfect DIY Garage. I came all the way from Vegas to replace my Control Arms and Ball Joints on my 2003 Mercedes-Benz E500. This shop had everything we needed to complete the work. Joseph was there to assist and was great. Installation was a breeze within 3 hours tops. I will definitely be back next time I need any major repair work. Shots out to Joseph and his staff.

Went to do pads and rotors on 14 Taco. Place opened on Time, was clean and had an excellent layout. Each station whether it it a lift or stall had its own air tools and adapters including both standard and metric sockets. Full sets of bet standard wrenches in both metric and standard, hammers, pliers, sockets. First time check in took 5 minutes, the service rep went over everything very well, including hand tools, air tools, lift, turned on big shop fans... Nitril gloves, and sodas are available for purchase and they are willing to help if you get stuck with something. All in all I was really surprised and enjoyed working here. I will go back.

Really like this place. It's so nice to have all the tools you need all in one place without having to look to it. I do all my regular maintenance here and any other smallish project that will take a few hours. Guys there are really knowledgeable and will help when needed. Highly recommended

really easy to set an appointment. I was able to do suspension work on my classic car with air tools on a lift in less than a quarter of the time it would've taken me to in my own driveway with hand tools and jack stands. $30 an hour to access professional equipment is a hell of a deal!

If you are a novice, do not think to save some money by diy. Experts on the other hand will find everything they need. The garage would have earn a better rating by giving some advice in how to proceed more efficiently instead of watching you ruin your back and use the slowest method so you can pay them more money in time spent. 4 stars for the amenities (A drill was not working properly. Zero for service.

friendly, has everything you need, nice if you dont have a garage or carport available or if your HoA doesnt let you work in the carport. good price, having the lift was so useful. Would come gain for my future car projects.

Chance and Mike are friendly hosts and offer every tool imaginable to help you work on your car or truck. I lifted my F250 in the garage over two days and it was a breeze having tools accessible! Highly recommend!

Definitely worth it, saves on my back and feet. Very helpful guy there too if u run into something you are not sure about. There are some signs of missing and broken tools so I always take some of my own just in case. A little dark in there so ask to have shop lights turned on

Can recommend this garage if you really need to use a lift. Otherwise it's easier to buy your own instrument to work on your car especially if you need to do service only. There are some small things like oil filters and standard oil for sale. But don't expect that they'll have some spare part that you forget to buy.
