Israel was very thorough and made sure my car was serviced for what it needed and not serviced for things that weren t necessary. Will be a returning customer for my general maintenance!

Recently moved to the area, the wheel bearing of my car had been damaged previously and kept getting worse. Isreal took care of my car and within 2 days, we were driving around like nothing had ever happened. I would recommend this shop to anyone who needs a great, speedy mechanic.Service: Steering & suspension repairService: Steering & suspension repair

I love this place !!! The owner really cares about getting you fixed right !!! He doesn't sugarcoat what the problem is. Honest and reliable I take my car to him because he does excellent work. The shop is next to the neighborhood Walmart on imperial ave. Just before the 5 north on ramp and down the street from the trolley towers and Petco park. Give them a try. They work on all kinds of vehicles too.

Always get great service without the hidden repair cost. Israel is quick to get you back on the road. Always communicates what the cost of the repairs will be before any work is done, never leaving you wondering what the total will be. Awsome mechanic from new to older classic vehicles. Highly recommended!

I am very happy with this place! After just arriving to the area my radiator cracked & coolant was everywhere! I am not familiar with SD but I took it to one place first and he quoted me $620 just to replace the radiator. I may not have been born in Cali but I thought this is waaaaay too much no matter where I am!So I called around and found Israel here. He replaced my radiator, cap, hose clamps, hoses, & fan clutch. Also filled it with coolant. All of this for way less than the other guy.I felt heard, comfortable, and trusted with him. He is very straightforward and seems to be very honest.If I stay in this area awhile and need more work I am definitely going back. Thank you so much !

If it wasn't for Israel my 2005 impala wouldn't be here today. Charged me 1/2 the price to fix a head gasket than what another company quoted me. I took my car in afterwards just for check ups and he doesn't even charge me. I had to force him to accept the money. He's in it for the love of cars not the money. God bless you Israel and thanks for the referral to take my car to M&R transmission for my dodge magnum problems. You guys both are honest companies which most companies lack these days. Rare service that is 1 of a kind. Bless you guys #SupremeImpala

I took my Toyota tacoma and they replaced the radiator on time and gave me a good deal. I will go back again to the place. I was a little concern because the place do not look good but they are the best.

Called them on the phone and they didn't want my business because they didn't want to deal with the insurance company. Very rude.
