Before you go to Raul’s Mickey-mouse shop make sure you look at the low star reviews with detailed horrible experiences, and his bought 5 star reviews that have 1 sentence saying “good work”. Its a trend that can’t be made up. Make sure you’re ready to get the most expensive solution for something that’s not needed on your Engine. I’m actually surprised this place is still open with all the fraud that goes on in this company, they should be in jail for what they do. I got a brand new car since then after they jacked up my previous vehicle and will not even dare to bring it around Raul as he is known to charge you for stuff that’s not needed on your vehicle! It won’t get fixed and you’ll be pouring money into his pocket before you know it. Simple thing to do is ask him to fix your car, it won’t be fixed I PROMISE you.
Its been a while since I had been here. But there service is always great. Raul never lets me down. Thank you to you and your team.
Family owned, honest and very reasonable. Been going here 12yrs now. Wouldnt go any where else. I recommend why is auto repair to anyone who needs services on their car
First things first, check the Yelp Review of this place and youll find that its 2/5 stars (for good reason) and I suspect many of these positive reviews are fake.Mike, the son of Raul (the business owner), mainly handles this place. As the son, I suspect that he has no incentive to provide quality service or work (hes not going to get fired) and it shows.I tried work with them for THREE weeks, every single day either leaving it at the shop to get it fixed or testing driving it, and the problem still is not solved. Here are things I noticed in my long experience with them:1) Mike genuinely could not care less about your car. I literally brought it in with a check engine light, and two days later when he told me to come pick up the car, I start my car and check engine light is STILL THERE. He didnt even check.Went I asked him, he just shrugged Meh, I dont know. They said it was ready. I suspect that didnt even work on it for those two days.2) Mike is too lazy to care about customers. They have a shuttle service where they drop you off at home (which I initially thought was very considerate) has a drawback. You see, after they drop you off, theyre supposed pick you back up. This is something the owner confirmed.But Mike doesnt want to do that. Thats work. So he pestered me EVERY TIME (all five out of five times) to get myself an Uber. Can you just get an Uber? Maybe you should get an Uber. Yeah, I think getting an Uber would be best.Raul, the dad, the owner, is even worse, but you can read my review at the other location for more on that. TL;DR Fake positive reviews, check Yelp, lazy son, horrible service, find a better place on Yelp.
Little pricey but they knew what they were doing.
I came here to replace my intake manifold runner control that was stuck open! They returned my truck with two codes on and truck idealing bad my truck didnt have any of those issues! They supposedly checked and replace the previous installed part little did they know i live in front and never moved my truck for repair, after i told them how much to fix the new issue they said 980, turns out after i was inspecting they never connected the vacuum hose and Raul told me it was a whole other issue be careful with this money hungry guys they are theifs and will try to take you for everything i will be in touch with the better business bureau and with a lawyer . GO ELSE WHERE THEY MAKE MECHANIC LOOK BAD WITH THERE WORK.
Very good and very honest shop .... Raúl is awesome .
They were very quick, helpful and very customer service l will go back I went there for a somg check and it was as low as $39.00 great deal if you need any repairs I would go there.
Gr8 shop. Good family they do have to shops. Pay them a visit for ur car needs.
I had a disappointing experience with Raul, after he smog checked my car and ran diagnostics on everything, and charged me fully for this, his recommendations to pass smog check was to rebuild my engine and replace my catalicit for a cost around $3000.00 for a $2000 old car. I went to different auto repair, he replaced my punctured gas tank, then I passed Smog check smoothly for a fraction of RAULS estimated cost.
This place is friendly and quick. I havent had this kind of treatment in along time. I highly recommend Rauls. Everybody I know will hear about Rauls.
Good and fair service. Dont have any complaints
Always great service and care for your vehicle here! Only place that gets to work on my trucks!
Got my car diagnosed in no time and really friendly helpful workers
I was well pleased with the service that I received and also on my car. The employees were very polite n knew what they were doing. Also I appreciate the respect they showed their employer as their boss. I felt at peace and comfortable with the workers. The Lord Bless them. Amen!
Very Friendly and helpful. Reasonable pricing. Was able to be seen immediately to have my smog done. Would recommend checking out this shop.
Bark place, great place for excellent pet care
Check online specials and was able to get my smog done at a good price😁
They were very nice, fast reasonably priced.
Very helpful. Friendly, local owner. Reasonable pricing. Was able to be seen immediately to check out ac unit. Would recommend checking out this mechanic.
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. I explained my problem over the phone and Raul knew exactly what I was dealing with. The repair to my 08 Silverado was done quick and my truck is running great.
Raul has always been a mechanic you can trust and his crew is quick too. He knows that most of us need our cars and tries to make sure we’re not stranded without it for very long. Even if your car has a list of things that it needs. He will tell you what has to be done now and what can wait till payday. I’m happy to call him my mechanic
I went to a shop to get my transmission fixed because it was leaking. I had taken it to other shops to see if they could help but they all turned me down. Looked on google and found this shop. So happy I did. Kevin, the nicest dude, told me not to worry and, said that he would do his best to stop the leak. He took his time, took care of my car as his own and, not only help me fix that leak but, also help me resolve my other problems as well. He gave me a great price on all the repairs! I would give this place 6 stars!
Rauls is one of the BEST shops we have ever done business with! Great and Honest service...not to mention Quick!Been going to Rauls for years and recommending to family and friends. Never have had anyone disappointed in their service.
I called around before going to Rauls and no one else could replace the ignition in my VW Beetle. They Idid a great job and were fast. I would have given them 5 stars but I didnt because whoever worked on my car left grease hand prints all over the interior drivers door and seat. Other than that they did a great job!!
My parents and I have been going here for years. The employees always do a great job and are very nice. They always give good deals and don’t rush their work. Quality has always been good from my experiences with them.
Very fair price and they took the time to explain what happened to my engine and why.
Made an appointment and I was in and out quick for my smog check
Great service & assistance ! Quick & professional. Welcoming boy at all intimidating & in a quiet nice area definitely coming back!
Fare prices, friendly and do good work
Rail and Steve were quite nice, forthright with what needed to be done and quick to service the issues to get me back on the road. The customer service in taking me to work and picking me up to get my car was truly appreciated. If I lived in this area, they would be my go to mechanic. For the time I am working in this area, I will count on them should the need arise
THE BEST CAR REPAIR EVER..aGREAT PERSONALITY
Ive been a long term customer at Rauls auto repair and have always had an excellent experience. Theyre always friendly, professional and very helpful. I dont know much about cars but they have always taken the time to explain everything in detail and I have never had to return because of a problem so I highly recommend Rauls Auto Repair to anyone.
I turned to Rauls Auto Repair for one reason and one reason alone: Its outstanding customer service reviews and testimonials, since I didnt know their shop, nor did I know anyone who had experience with them. I was not disappointed. First of all I got a response to my email question within hours if not less. Thats already remarkable. Steven, offered a free tow if I did repairs with them. They picked up my Jaguar on time and emailed me with first impression within the same day. I was quoted on necessary work and got reports as work progressed and related engine problems surfaced. Their diagnostics were sound and further quotes were reasonable. I had to leave the job unsatisfactory since further needed repairs exceeded my budget momentarily, but I would recommend anyone to try Rauls as their expertise and communication with the client is outstanding which gives a real peace of mind, while quotes are fair. Id definitely come back and recommend you to givem a try.
Best car repair shop in my area been coming here for years with the assistant great mechanic work not to mention vehicles of different make and model, always satisfaction., I recommend this shop to all my friends and family.
I always appreciate the service I get from them.
Great place. Great service. Great prices. Have always taken good care of myself and my car.Thanks again
Quality and Fast service and their trustworthy. I am a girl and no nothing about cars and they dont rip me off. I like the coupons we got in the mail, it saved me 20.00 and they work with your budget whats priority. If something doesnt work right, when I have brought it back with their work done they fixed correctly if I had a problem. I have been going for years now.
Good
Rip offs took in my 1985 Chevy caprice for some noise that it was making on the lower part of the engine they told me that my engine wasn’t good any more it currently had a 305 engine and told Lyno his ex employee he had to go a head and put another engine A 350 A month later they said my car was done came in paid him 2800 took my car home car was shaking very bad oil leaking from Valve covers gas was leaking from fuel lines and carburetor, oil was leaking from oil pan took it back the next day so they can repair all of the Mickey Mouse work they had done, they called me back said it was done I went back and inspected the car And all they did was Mickey Mouse it again they put silicone all around on my oil pan cut hoses tape hoses I was very disappointed in their work spoke to Raul after and all he could tell me was I had an old car, My car has been in and out of Raul’s shop for over a year I have not been able to drive my car with the new engine, to top it off the noise I had took it in for the beginning still does it so what does that mean that it was not my engine after all it was my tork converter I spoke to Raul about that and all he can do is lie in my face like he has been from the beginning I just feel sorry for all those people that keep going to his shop not knowing exactly what he’s doing which is ripping people off There is so much other things I can add that he has done but it is giving me a headache just thinking about it, I would never recommend this place to nobody I wouldn’t want them to go through what I’m going through till this day......
Excellent service, quality work at a fair price. He is super friendly, honest, and is always helpful when I bring my moms car for repair or maintenance. Awesome. Highly recommended.
I always find new ways of taking care of my car here, the guys are very responsible and help me any time I need it. I got a new Nissan Rogue at repokar last week and they made a quick update on it, for a very good price. Thanks guys
To say the service I have acquired here has been good is an understatement. Excellence Of service has been astonishing from routinely tune up, oilChanges, break repair to engine repair has been amazing Raul serves with excellence. Highly recommend this auto shop if you are in the area and away I continue to recommend friends and family toThis shop execellent!
This place is Bad took my 2009 BMW cause it was making A squeaky noise. Raul told me the alternator had to be replace!! He use Napa brand all the time he told me he uses top of the line BMW parts had so many issues till I took it BMW Monrovia had to pay extra to Raul to get an exchange for the old alternator he installed. Now my car runs perfect!! He lies an use cheap parts an charges Dealers prices!! NEVER TRUST THIS GUY...
No matter how far I move, I still choose Rauls Auto as my go to mechanic. Ive gotten numerous cars serviced here, and each time theyve have the most competitive prices and had the car back in my possession in faster time than any other mechanic Ive worked with. I wouldnt trust my cars with anyone else.
The first thing is that they are so incredibly professional! The service is great. Raul and Steve are very easy to talk to and are very clear in telling me what they have to do in repairs, making them a trustworthy company I can rely on. This is especially important to me being someone who has been taken advantage of in past automobile dealings. They are always going the extra steps to actually show me on my troublesome vehicle what I might need repairs on in the future. They are quick, helpful to particular situations, and the pricing is very fair.
Service was great, Raul very nice guy, and very professional, I had a wonderful experience., he got me approved by extended warranty company, when others failed he prevailed., mike
So far great price n great time completed.. Sounds good runs good SO FAR IM VERY HAPPY.. very FRIENDLY INFORMATIVE N GREAT PRICE!!!
Good honest work
Excellent service-very helpful! Steven was great, and the prices can’t be beat. Will go back
They took care of me like i was family. They towed my car up to the shop hooked it up and while they were fixing it the let me use a loaner car in the mean time. Definitely coming back for more work to be done on my truck
Great service! Got an oil change. Is was a little more than other places, but it is definitely worth it. Quick and excellent service.
I bring my vehicle here for tune ups and brakes just got done doing a AC repair not only did I get a fair price but my car was done in under a hour
Always polite and always honest. No complaints. My dads been going to them for years and now I go to them.
On September 28, 2016 I a G35 in for clicking noises probably originating from the suspension. I was told the cost would be $45 just to diagnose the problem but the amount could be used as a future credit if work was to be authorized. I agreed if I was allowed to bring in my own OEM parts online. Raul agreed hesitantly because the previous receptionist on the Saturday before said I could bring in parts that I could find for a better price.In todays day and age, I find it hard to believe someone like Raul still does not recognize the internet and the pricing available to customers. I have a business myself and I am frequently questioned if I will match prices. Initially my answer was no but I eventually changed my stance and agreed to match prices. I could do that to get the best value for my money and from the standpoint of the customers, they want the best value for their money too if they so request it. Rauls attitude completely changed from friendly to “youre wasting my time because Im not able to make money off of you for the parts that I cant charge at full price”. He didnt say those words but you could read it all over his face and his tone and attitude.I should have known better to walk right out but I went through with it believing in the reviews of past customers. Big mistake, after leaving the car most of the day, I was called in to told that all the shocks had to be replaced as well as the control arms. I said to him, some of the control arms are brand new. Whats wrong with them? He then changed his story and said the upper control arms. I asked what was wrong with the uppers? Are they bent? Are the bushings bad? The answer was an evasive one, “theyre making noise, they need to be replaced”. At the end of the day, I am confident Raul did not even do a thorough diagnosis and took the lazy easy way out by saying replace everything and still ended up charging me $45 for that lazy test drive.I took it to another mechanic about a week later and was told that the suspension bolts needed tightening. He tightened them and the noises disappeared. The shocks were in good condition, the arms were in good condition. What a lazy and greedy man for the half butt effort he gave for his wrong and inaccurate diagnosis. There was a definite breach of due care and a presence of negligence if not outright fraud.
I took my Nissan Sentra for a noise inspection, they Inspected and said that I need to replace the Motor Mounts for around $600. Following day I thought to get my car Inspected from Nissan Dealership, They inspected and certified that motor mounts are good. Sound was coming from Bumper. This is not something expected from a good rating Auto Repair shop.
They were so quick and so helpful even help me with a couple questions I had in general about my car not just what I called them about they had such great customer service well over exceeded my expectations this is my new auto mechanic shop
Mikie is the owners Son and I only knew that because I read it on the News paper article on the wall inside there place!! The owner Raul is the one who went back & forth with me on the phone working out the numbers!! So its very cool 2 see a nicely runned establishment with family around & have awards & accolades on the walls & know there backed up by Napa & really nice people!! The work they did on our Van was Superb!! I will be going back for my future repairs!!
I was helped by 2 associates and they were both great.Fair prices, great work.
Ive seen this repair center or so many times, since its right on my way to work but I never visited it. One day I decided to make some changes on my SUV, and finally opened the door. I loved it, and I loved the people. Will come back as soon as I buy another model from repokar.
They are always fast and courteousI will keep taking my cars there
Raul auto repair, is a great family owned auto shop that does it all me and my family have been coming here for years and wouldnt go else where!! Raul will always work for you, and make sure you are 100% satisfied!!
Had a smog check completed and the Price was definitely reasonable. Technicians were fast and clean.
Having them check my oxygen sensor wiring i know they will give me a good price for a little fix these guys will get the job done without bullshitting you..recommended .good prices. Good people
I actually went to the dealer by the front of the lot, very nice owner, Ill recommend him to who ever needs a used car
My family has been going to Rauls since 2009 and still do.Raul and his Kevin do a great job of explaining the critical things that need work on and do so in an affordable mannerI recommend them highly for any used car repair / maintenance
Great work and great staff, Rauls auto repair always does a great job repairing my vehicle. Honest and trustworthy, what more do u want.
Rauls Auto Repair surpassed my expectations. My friend had recommended me to them, so I took my 2004 BMW x3 in for some oil leaks it was having.They did a thorough job of looking for all the leaks, while another BMW shop had just done a visual inspection. Raul the owner, advise me of other repairs that were needed. Never felt any pressure to repair or felt like I was being ripped off. Found my mechanic will refer family and Friends. Thanks a lot Rauls Auto.
I took my Ford F150 truck to replace my radiator, water pump and thermostat. They charged me $500, and in return I received a truck with the fan shroud missing, thr radiator hose sitting on pully belt, rubbing a hole in it as bonus. Bolts not tightend on alteranator, so that rattled. Fan blade was put on backwards, so as that bonus, i now received a burned out fan clutch. The radiator came back to me not with any bolts that it went in with, but now held by zip ties. So you can go with your assessment on if you would be satisfied if it were your vehicle.
Very friendly and finished my oil change in a timely manner! Pleased to come back again.
Good customer service. Will even provide customers with a ride home if needed
They are always fast friendly and trustworthy when you get your car service here you feel confident that everything its going to be absolutely perfect the work late hours for you its that friendly service that you wish to get everywhere thanks Rauls crew
Best auto shop!!! Best prices and the guys that work there are very helpful, they will fix your car no matter what!!!
In a scale of 1 to 10 this place is an 11! Great service I always recommend this place to my friends.
Had my brakes done on my 2007 Mini Cooper & my 2014 Honda Accord, very reasonable & honest, would recommend to friends & family!
I got my a/c fixed at Rauls auto and after shopping around I was able to get it fixed at a great price.
Ive been going to Raul for more than a year now and couldnt be more satisfied with his service, I have an older car a 1982 el Camino to be exact, and its really hard to find a auto shop that knows what there doing when it comes to carburetor engines, I totally recommend if you have an older car or want a good and reliable service.
Check Engine light on. Rauls wanted to charge me $1000 to fix. I got a second opinion and it was fixed for $173.50. No Check Engine light and I passed SMOG. Dont go to Rauls.
I came in to this place, since I read good things about it, only to realize they lie to their customers. Sure I was looking for a reasonable deal, but that shouldnt mean I was looking to be taken advantage of. No top off of fluids on my vehecle included with oil change. Before selecting a mechenic shop, I like to look for the better deal. I also called beforehand to specifically know if top off of fluids would be included. Well, eventhough I was told that, I checked anyways after my service was done. My radiator level was still low. Sad to think this place is considered professional.
Recommend by a friend excellent service affordable
Know what there doing ..nice guys...
Raul was honest and saved me $1400 on a repair that was covered under the manufacture warranty. I took the paper work he gave me to the dealer and the repair was fixed for free! Thank you!
BEGAN TO HEAR DRIVE TRAIN NOISE AFTER HARD DAY ON TRAIL. QUOTED $100s FOR U JOINT REPLACEMENT BY OTHER MECHANICS/SHOPS. RAULS PUT MY JEEP UP ON LIFT, SPRAYED LUBRICANT WHICH FIXED NOISE. ALL HE CHARGED ME WAS A THANK YOU. THANKS AGAIN!
I am very happy with service, the price was fair but they faster then Dealership, the guys at monrovia dealer always have my car more then a day or two. Thank you guys sending a tow to pick up my car.
Outstanding, Ill definitely return.
Should consider changing name. Another Rauls Auto down the street. Very confusing.
Very bad service. they made me spend $1700 and my car was not repaired
Raul’s Auto Repair is a well-kept and organized Auto Shop in the SGV (Azuza to be specific). A friend of mine recommended me this place and fortunately that friend didn’t disappoint. I met with Kevin, (Raul’s Son) and explained what I thought was going on with my 03’ Jetta. Kevin and his ASE/ASA certified staff quickly diagnosed the issues and also pointed out a few things that might be problems in the future. I drove my car out of the shop the next day with the peace of mind in knowing that this place took care of my car like it was their own. Plus Raul’s Auto Repair is an associated Napa Auto Care Center, which means I also leave the lot with a nation wide warranty for service and parts. For peace of mind and great knowledgeable service, there is no other place I’d go to.
Great job Kevin you the best:-)
Love the Service. The technichians definately know what they are doing. I recommend this place to anyone. PLus, they are a NAPA Auto Care Center which carries Nation Wide Warranty for their Service and Parts.
Ive always been treated well here. These guys made time for me today when they were ready to close. Im a mechanic myself, but I dont always have the time or the room to take care of things, so I shoot down to Rauls, they hook me up! Thanks, dude!
Great prices, kind staff.
Great service and very friendly.
They always do a good job for smoging cars!!!
Great Friendly Service~ Fast Oil Change~
I found them on the Internet, they save me $900 on repairs to my 2008 BMW x5, the Monrovia BMW wated $2290 for a water pump and thermostat, crazy but is true.
Good service
So friendly and accommodating on short notice!
I have been going to Raul for my car needs for a long time. I can trust him with all my vehicles because he provides service I can trust.
