Gary was very kind and helpful & Carlos did an amazing job! I immediately felt the difference in how my car drove right off the lot. I really appreciated the reasons Gary gave for the urgent repair items and how it might personally impact myself. I recommend this shop for anyone looking for trusting and knowledgeable attention to their vehicle!!
While on a trip to San Francisco my left headlight went out. I went to two repair shops up there and either was able to get the right bulb, finally went to a local Lexus dealer and even with them they could not replace a part (controller) in a timely fashion, so I came home still without a light. My wife uses Carotech for her Subaru, and is a satisfied customer so I tried them. Dropped off the car and the work was done the following day at a reasonable charge. I would recommend them very highly to anyone with a Lexus or Subaru - our experiences have been great
Car trouble when traveling can easily become a nightmare - or it can end up a blessing when you find a good, honest business like this. I brought my car in at 8 am and had it back by noon, not only repaired and ready to go, but cleaned, sanitized and detailed. I knew when I walked in I could trust the owner and felt very comfortable that they would do exactly what they said they would. I’m grateful to have found them.
I went to Carotech Automotive with a recommendation from a close friend of mine. Gary made sure my car was completely taken care of and even took care of detailed cleaning and giving extra discount as a Christmas gift. Carotech will be my routine auto repair shop from now on. Thank you Gary and his team 👍🙏🎄
Came in for a broken water pump. Gary clearly communicated timeline and costs ahead of doing any work, and completed everything in a timely manner. Very impressed with operation and will definitely come back for further service on my car.
The entire staff at Carotech was amazing. Everyone was friendly and everything was explained to me in a timely manner. From the moment I called all the way through the inspection. The information I was given along with the prices made sense and I never felt like I was being taken advantage of which is always the worry. I’m so glad I found them and from now on I will be bringing both my cars to them!Also the deep cleaning on the engine they go above and beyond and honestly quality is what always makes the difference.
This is the second vehicle I’ve taken to Carotech. Gary is a great guy, and always honest. I asked him to perform a service once and he said “You don’t need it. Ask me again in a few thousand miles”. That’s when I knew I liked him and I’ve been going back ever since. Highly recommended.
I have never been to this shop before and I was searching for a reputable shop. I searched on line and ran across Carotech and read the many positive reviews so I called them and spoke with Gary. He sounded professional and accommodating so I took my mustang in to be checked out for problems in the rear differential, while checking out the differential they found two other problems and they sent me a video of them and asked if I wanted them repaired also, I said yes so after fixing those they checked out the differential and found that it was bad as I suspected. Gary called me and told me what they had found and gave me an approximate price to repair it with a used one or to rebuild mine which is what I wanted and said they would need the car several days because they had to order parts. When I went to pick up my car I found it washed n clean plastic seat covers plastic steering wheel cover and protective floor covering.Gary the head guy who is really a nice guy told me he wanted me to drive the car and he would go with me to make sure everything was ok, which it was. I would highly recommend Carotech for their performance and for Gary’s personal treatment to me and I will personally return there for any future work on my mustang.
Absolutely incredible service! Gary the manager is the best - very straightforward, honest, and professional. Will be coming back regularly!
Made an appointment online through AAA which Carotech Automotive called me to confirm the details for oil change, vehicle inspection, and general maintenance. Overall process and service was great!
Very friendly and informative. Great experience and my car runs great. Thanks Carotech!
Gary is very friendly, informative, and professional. I had a complimentary 40-point AAA inspection and I still felt valued, as if I was a paying customer. They unearthed looming issues in my car that I didn’t even know existed! I recommend their inspection services to anyone in the vicinity.
Gary and his team did a thorough and honest job on my 2000 Honda Civic. Gary was always so friendly and respectful in all communication with me, and I felt my older car was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!
I was very pleased with the service I received from Carotech. They serviced my car, changed the oil, air and cabin filters in a professional and timely manner. Ill be returning next time my car needs service.
Great service!! They worked on my bmw in a timely manner.. everything was fixed and running properly. Definitely going back for regular maintenance if need be!
The Carotech team was extremely professional and helpful. They changed the Turbocharger and brakes on my Audi for a great price and very quickly. Best car shop in the area - definitely recommend it.Ask for Gary - great guy - checks every single detail.
Good customer service. Car didnt get repaired after 5 days and didnt get a diagnosis. I picked it up and dropped it off to another repair shop. Gary did give me a free oil change but that isnt the issue.
They were very accurate and notify the problem on my car and getting it done within a sufficient time.
My truck broke down and was towed here. Great work by the team to get everything fixed and helped me to identify other future issues that they took care of. The team had a lot of input and good work that I reviewed. My recommendation to anyone is to ask questions so they can prove they know what theyre talking about. The man running the shop (I think its Gary) answered all my questions and helped me every step of the way.
Nice place and theyre good at what they do. Am very pleased with the service. I will be back at any time.
If you find all manner of car repairs and maintenance daunting, like I do, this is especially a great place to go. Everyone was kind, extremely helpful and attentive. The work I received in my car was broken down and transparent so that I could understand, and their work is really great quality; my car, genuinely has never driven smoother. I trust them with all my car needs.
This is most certainly my new go to place for my car. I am not at all knowledgeable about cars but I feel 100 percent comfortable with Carotech as their service is impeccable. Gary made sure my car was completely taken care of and even took care of connecting with my warranty company to ensure to necessary services were completely covered. He called to keep me updated on every step of the process and when all the fixes were done, before returning my car, they washed and detailed it. I am thoroughly pleased. I also want to acknowledge the great work that Carlos and Angel, the technicians who worked on my car, did. My car is running so much better! I cannot express how relieved and grateful I am to have found them. I will be taking my car to Carotech from here on out. *In case it is helpful to anyone, I drive a Lincoln MKX.
The service is excellent. Staff members are well-trained, courteous, and attentive, and they know what theyre doing.
Fantastic from beginning to end. Even called me after to see how everything was going. Good people and good prices!
Ok so I know this will sound fake, but I have maybe posted one other review for services. But Gary and his team at Autotech were great and deserving of a call when you are looking for auto repair service. Gary was on point with his communication with us and was a straight shooter when it came to the repairs needed. Our Prius is driving beautifully and we will definitely be returning for service the next time we need it.
Great to work with anyone who exceeds expectations. Theyre certainly the best in the area.
Great atmosphere, tasty wines, knowledgeable and friendly staves. What else I could say about this shop.
The owner, Gary, is very professional, and the work provided by his mechanic has been great so far.I had my car towed in because it wouldn’t start.Gary had his mechanic inspect the car, and in a couple of hours after leaving the shop I received a phone call from Gary with a concise explanation about the problem, quote, and ETA.I requested some time to do some research and think about whether to proceed with the repairs and he gracefully waited for my decision. I called him several times to ask questions about the repair and cost and he cooly explained things I needed to know.I had the starter and brakes replaced and rotors resurfaced. My car is running again and I have yet to experience any issues.I recommend Carotech.
I’ve been coming to Carotech for all my automotive needs for a few years now, and they have never disappointed. Always professional, and upfront about their pricing and what my car needs. I really appreciate that they send me pictures and videos of a potential problem anytime they find something, so I have all the information and I can make the best decision for the maintenance of my car. I’ve never felt like I was being hard sold to, or talked down to, which as a young women, can be hard to find from a mechanic. Gary and his team is the best, they’ve treated my car for everything from an oil change to moderate damage after an accident and everything in between, and always with friendly, communicative service. Highly recommend!
Gary is a great specialist on in his area of car mechanics he’s genuine honest and upfront. He doesn’t beat around the bush and tells you exactly what’s wrong whether u like or not Gary knows cars trust this repair shop for your repairs any negative review is from a upset customer who didn’t like the price they were quoted for repairs and we all kno repairs don’t come cheap..they also accept AAA CUSTOMERS I WOULD ADVICE ANYONE IN THE LA AREA TO USE CAROTEXH FOR CAR REPAIR NEEDS THANK YOU GARY YOUR GHE BEST WILL BE SEEING YOU FOR ALL MY VEHICLES
After detailed inspections performed, they provide a detailed review on the status of the car. The staffs were professional and kindly answered every single question I asked. The price is chaper than service center in dealer shops and maybe more expensive than other personal repair shops. Of course I will use this place again.
I just discovered this repair shop and am so glad that I did. I will certainly be going back in the future. I spoke to Gary on the phone, who was super helpful and straightforward. Scheduled an appointment for a full service oil change which includes tire rotation. Aside from just all around wonderful service, you receive text and email updates on your cars progress with pictures. Its very transparent and helpful. Everything was done as promised including the time quoted, price and work on my car. Thank you for your honesty and great service. Best!
They were very reasonable, honest, and friendly. Didnt try to push services on me that I didnt need. Will be using them again.
The staff was wonderful and assisted me in correctly diagnosing what the real issue was with my car. I’m very grateful and will return.
Happy to support local honest professional business and Owner. Highly recommend Gary at Carotech on Pico. Glad I found a local mechanic I can trust.
Carotech was very efficient and reasonably priced! Car was making a ringing noise for months while going over bumps...took it to my mechanic who charged me way to much for a temporary fix that only lasted a few weeks. After that I took it to Carotech as the noise just got worse and worse. From the Google reviews I knew I could trust them and they met my expectations, and returned my car all washed looking like new. Carotech will be my go-to mechanic going forward! So happy to have my ride back in 100% working order.
What shall I say more than what is already siad in Gary and his team!!! They are just as amazing and honest as I have never dealt with any like that before for my car. Gary is a nice, respectable and a friendly guy that took me easily through every little step with my Altima. He called me after the initial inspection to stand on the issues and asked me to come on-site to show me everything he pointed out that needed real attention. He never sells you anything you will not need URGENTLY. He cares for your car as if it is his own and really cares for your -and others- safety on road! Unfortunately my car did require quite a bunch of stuff to he done! He gave me a really fair price (despite Im still complaining of it :-D) ... but no kidding it is very fair for the amount of job he did and I bet it is very reasonable compared to other auto shops...add to that his HONESTY which I really have to highlight. Im back on the asphalt today after 4 days of work on my car. I love how my car drives now and really appreciate the work Gary and his team did. They even offer you 24 months/24,000 miles warranty on any parts installed by them in your car.Bottom line, I will never deal with any autoshop other than Carotech automotive.I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking incredible service, honesty, and reasonable prices.Thank you Gary!
This was my first experience with Mr. Gary. He and his team were very professional from the start. They did exactly as they promised and my car is running perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. I really appreciate his honesty.
Flat tire was plugged from the inside. Service was thorough and timely.
Very professional and friendly to keep me updated and saved my engine from being totaled. I Will be definitely visiting Carotech again for all future maintenance & repairs !
From the first phone call, all the way to getting my car back the next day, Gary and his team were top notch. I wasn’t rushed into anything and everything was thoroughly explained to me from the beginning. The work was done in a timely manner, and at a fair price. Not to mention they completely detailed my car, including cleaning my engine before giving the car back. Highly recommend!
Was happy to get a full diagnostic on my car and have fixed what I could afford to fix! No pressure to do extra work I couldn’t cover. The car care out better than I could have expected!
AAA offered a free diagnostic at participating repair shops. Im glad Carotech was participating. Gary and his crew are friendly, professional, fair and good at what they do.I am happy to recommend them.
This is my first experience with Carotech and I was very pleased with Gary and his team. They were professional, honest and fix the car perfectly. Thank you
Hands down best mechanic in Los Angeles! Gary is awesome and honest! I thought my transmission was going out but it was not the case.Gary and his team are the best out there! My car runs fantastic, and when I arrived to pick up my vehicle, they had washed it and cleaned the engine as well!Gary you have a customer for life and I am pleased to do business with you! # 1 in So. California 🎩Great job to the whole entire staff and team! Thank you gentlemen!
I had a great experience: they took very good care of me and my car came back in great condition :)
My breaks were done here. I noticed a strange sound, brought my car back and was told nothing was wrong. I noticed the sound becoming more frequent and it became a grinding noise. I was told by another person it could be that the rotors were not resurfaced or bad parts were used. Currently my car is being fixed again, will update. Update: rotors were replaced, such a huge difference. A special thanks for explaining ways to keep my car running smooth longer. Hopefully no more issues in the near future.
I bought a used car, and I wanted to get a second opinion about the status of the car. They let me come in right away and immediately got to work checking my vehicle. They were exceedingly pleasant and honest. There wasnt anything wrong with my vehicle, but I know for sure that I will be coming back here in the future.
Gary and his crew at Carotech are topnotch. I came to them after spending 7 months of my time and $3.2k of my money with another mechanic who was also well reviewed (though, not as high as Carotech). When smoke began billowing out from under my hood the day after picking up my car from the previous mechanic, all confidence and trust vanished. Needing to do something with my car, I tried a different tactic and decided to look for a AAA certified mechanic instead; thus, coming upon Carotech.Garys crew identified previous repairs needing to be redone, in addition to others I hadnt been made aware of. But Garys level-headed and calm demeanor allayed my fears, re-instilled some trust and helped me make a confident, informed decision whether to repair my car or get a new one. Having gone ahead with the repair, I couldnt be happier. Ive had my car for almost a month now, and its driving like new. Garys customer service and auto service skills are the acme of the industry. I look forward to having my car serviced by them for a long time to come. Thank you Gary for your hard work and dedication to service that goes above and beyond.
Great service at affordable prices. Honest business man who cares about his customer base. A delight from start to finish!
Very impressed with this place! Gary is a doll and actually had my car ready a day earlier than expected. He also had it detailed and it now runs like a dream! Very reasonable prices and quality work. Very rare in this town. Will recommend to everyone I know!
Ill let you be the judge on this one This was my 1st time here.I took my car in for a diagnostic it was $125 plus your repair cost OK.Usually shops waive the diagnostic fee if there gonna perform the repairs.Then about 4 days later they told me it was my driveshaft and motor mounts.They told me it would be $1178 just to put on the motor mounts. That didnt include the drive shaft .I went online to check the motor mount price .I could not find anyone online selling the mounts for more than $100 he charged me $299 for the mounts WOW.He then told me he found a drive shaft for $875 .I went online found complete driveshaft at Rockauto for $450 and had it delivered to his shop.I just got my car back after about 9days later.The car runs good but after spending about $1600 .There are shops that will do the same work for less cost SHOP AROUND. If you like paying high prices for work this is the place for you.Dont know if Ill go back here doubt it.They RIP me off on parts and labor.Take your own parts if you go then they probably only will screw you on labor.By the way the car is only a 2009 Cadillac cts. YOU BE THE JUDGE ON THIS ONE.
Very professional and friendly group of guys. Did what my car needed plus extra without running up the price.
Gary is a person of integrity. He takes great pride in his work, and that is evident In his dealings with customers and the atmosphere of his shop. He was able to diagnose a difficult problem with my 2004 Subaru and while it took a few days to get the part, his charge was exactly what he had quoted and the car was ready before I expected it. Gary will definitely be helping me care for my car from now on. Highly recommend.
I had taken my Prius to the Toyota dealership because it was acting weird upon startup and seemed like the computer was glitching, but they couldn’t find anything wrong...but Carotech figured out the problem and replaced my 12v battery faster than I expected l...they even washed the interior and exterior of my car! So glad I found them in my neighborhood
Great service, reasonable prices and convenient location on Pico Blvd . Carotech is also AAA approved. Gary is friendly, honest and professional . He replies to emails and returns calls immediately. The electronic inspection he offers was a plus. All items were taken care of and I was even able to purchase a couple of tires which saved me a trip to Costco! Overall, I highly recommend Carotech.
This was the second time at Carotech that the total cost of my repairs came in lower than the original estimate. This never happened anywhere else Ive ever gotten auto repairs done. They are so honest and trustworthy. Highly recommended.
I had a great experience here, the diagnostics and repairs were done very quickly and I was able to get my 2008 BMW 328i back before I expected. My car now starts up very well and feels brand new. The shop went above and beyond and really took care of my car. I will come back for future repairs.
My husband & I took our ‘98, sc300 Lexus to Carotech. The car needed a lot of engine work.Gary took care of us. He was very professional, courteous, & knowledgeable!When my engine was taken apart, Ben called & asked if we wanted to see the damage parts.Francisco, the mechanic, educated us & showed exactly what he was doing.We are very happy with Carotech. Our care runs like a brand new car. Francisco is a genius.Also, Gary was fair with the price.
Wonderful service! I was assisted quickly and they were able to pin point the issues my car was having. Thank you!
The experience I had at Carotech was seamless from beginning to end. They were efficient, quick, very friendly, and gave me a great deal. I knew they were doing everything to make the cost of my repair as low as possible. Having just moved to the neighborhood, I will definitely be coming here with any future car issues.
This was the second time at Carotech that the total cost of my repairs came in lower than the original estimate. This never happened anywhere else Ive ever gotten auto repairs done. They are so honest and trustworthy. Highly recommended.
I’ve had many cars. I’ve had many cars with problems. I’ve been to many many mechanics. I can tell you without a doubt that this shop is the most honest cost-effective and loyal. I highly recommend Gary and his staff to take care of your vehicle
The Dealer wanted $2000 to replace the fuel injectors. Carotech said the fuel system just needed to be cleaned out. They did the job for $500. The car is fixed. If you are looking for an honest mechanic who knows what he is doing and does great work Carotech is the place
I drove all the way to CA from FL with a junk car that somehow survived the trip. Shortly after, it overheated, and I was left in a new city with a dead engine. Gary and the awesome mechanics here were super nice and very helpful, spending their time trying to find me the best deal to replace my shot engine on a car I have not wanted to part. While sadly it’s not worth keeping my old car, I will definitely be back for my automotive needs. The people at Carotech were extremely kind and helpful during my time of need, and that is not something I take lightly.
Gary was extremely helpful when figuring out the problem and who to contact for my warranty agreement. He also managed to give me updates throughout the process, and it was overall a good experience. I will be coming back with any other car troubles.
A+++++. My jeep grand Cherokee popped a tire on the road. I read rave reviews about Carotech and Gary so I brought it in for the first time. They did a deep inspection and discovered major issues with my beloved truck. The engine was ticking and making noises because I had been driving on low oil, there were exhaust leaks and other serious problems. Gary and his team were extremely knowledgeable and professional. Gary insisted I come in to see the leaks and issues for myself and he and his team spent half an hour taking me under the car and showing me everything in person. I saw the damage in my vehicle. Gary made sure that all week the team sent photos to my phone so I could see the work needed and what was being done. Ive never had a mechanic so good at communicating with me about my vehicle. Gary didnt try to upsell me. He did the work my truck needed and always answered my phone calls. Incredibly courteous and professional. The truck was done when he said it would be. And when I picked it up, it was detailed and washed inside and out. Furthermore he repaired it so well that the truck purrs like a kitten now and I am noticing the increase in power and propulsion. Its like Im driving a new vehicle. I will DEFINITELY be bringing my truck and all future vehicles to Gary at Carotech Automotive. Honest, reliable, professional, and knowledgeable. Ive never had such a good experience at any autoshop. I do not regret it and I look forward to bringing Gary more business.
These guys are great, best mechanic i have ever used. They are prompt with their service, communicate pricing clearly and fairly, and go and beyond the call of duty to provide the best possible service. They are the only mechanic i have trusted to return time and again. Would recommend to all who need their car serviced. Would give 6 stars if i could!
Was referred to Gary. Easily the best experience Ive ever had with car related issues. Gary was extremely upfront about what the problems may be, cost, and timelines, and ended up fixing additional issues he found free of charge. The whole team is pleasant and the service is great. Hopefully I wont need to go back again, but that was quite an amazing referral!
They are quick, competent, and very fairly priced (saved me at least $100 on new tires). And Gary is a class act. Will definitely be going back for all my car needs.
I brought my car in on a Thursday and it needed some major work for months. I had waited because I got screwed by my last mechanic and didn’t trust. Gary was straightforward and listed all the items I needed. He prioritized the most important, and actually removed a service as they were doing the work because he didn’t think it was necessary. The car was ready on Friday - 1 day turn around! The price was under what I was quoted and my car is likeBrand new. Even a complimentary detailing. He will be my go-to mechanic!
I am new to LA and was looking for a mechanic shop. I was so surprised by how professional they are. Always informed me in advance what they would do and sent me videos. Amazing service. Trustable mechanic shop and owner is very friendly.
Best auto shop in LA hands down. Quick, easy, affordable, and pleasant people! Never going anywhere else for car needs.
I brought my Mazda 3 to the dealer for a routine oil change. I was informed by the dealer that my car needed $2000+ in repair which included brake pad change, brake fluid exchange, and leaking struts. I ended up not getting the repairs at the dealer except for what I went there for, but I also still ended up paying for the diagnostic which was $150 or so. I looked up reputable independent auto shops around my area which had great reviews and I ended up going with Carotech. I brought my car in and the paperwork provided by Mazda with the repairs they said I needed. Gary was more than helpful. They ended up fixing my car for much less than what the dealer was asking for and my car has been driving great. Fast forward a week later our other car, a Hyundai, started acting up. I brought my car back to Carotech because of my wonderful experience the first time. Gary was there again to help me. I left my car with him and about 30 minutes later he called me and said the only issue I had was that the front tires were loose! This car was recently at the dealer and I guess they did not do a great job securing the tires! The best part of it all Gary did not charge me anything. They could have easily charged for a diagnostic fee, but they didnt. Talk about an honest business. I am so glad to find an honest auto shop and I look forward to having our cars serviced at Carotech in the future. Thanks again Gary and crew. Dont hesitate to bring your car here.
Very accommodating. Great service. Will do business with them again Highly recommend
Gary at Carotech is always so helpful, he never tries to upsell you. He shows care in the way he treats customers and their vehicles. Im so happy to have found such an honest and ethical auto shop in Los Angeles and I highly recommend them!
Fantastic place! Garry is not only an honest and professional man, but also FAST! They fixed my car in one day! And for a great price! This is my mechanic from now on! Thank you, Garry!
Mr. Gary was very nice, professional and accommodating. They diagnosed and addressed the issues of my car and were able to fix the car on same day. Mr. Gary and the workers at Carotech Automotive went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend bringing your car there for service.-jd
Gary and his team consistently provide excellent service from end to end. My first time taking my Subaru in for new brakes and a clutch replacement, they came in under their own quote!!
Excellent service for a reasonable price. They even did extra service on my car free of charge. Would highly recommend and will be returning when I need service again.
Great service! Extremely satisfied.It’s pleasure to work with honest and knowledge people Gary is exactly that.I drop my car yesterday picked up today good as new and detailed! How great is that.Thank you.
Gary was very professional as well as gave me time to discuss other options prior to pulling the trigger on my repair, which I am very appreciative.All in all, Great experience, fantastic work, and very happy with everything that was done.Would highly recommend.
I can’t say enough good things about Gary! I can always count on him, to be honest, and trustworthy. He diagnose my car right away and had it ready ASAP. He took the time to look into the car parts and found out the part that was needed was still under warranty. There was no way I would have known that but he is a man of integrity and that’s why I will always go to him!
I was really worried because every mechanic Ive ever been to had been blah.... But Gary is honest and sincere. He didnt give me the run-around and for that I appreciate him so much. He informed me what I was dealing with and for that I deem him Gary the mechanic of the universe....Thank you Gary...you have my business any day!! 2nd time going and This team is a group of amazing guys!!! They get the job done. Best in LA....thanks again!!!
Very kind and patient with my limited car knowledge! Washed and detailed my car without me asking at no extra charge! Can’t wait to go back :)
My experience at Carotech Auto-motive was great. The shop is clean and the workers are professional. Gary is a pleasure to deal with. I checked and his prices beat the other places I tried. The work was done on schedule and for the quoted price as promised. He even got the car fully detailed, including the engine, for no additional cost! Carotech goes above and beyond. I highly recommend them.
Thanks for helping us in our time of need while travelling in your beautiful country.Also for your personal empathy and advice regarding the used car we have purchased from a local dealership.
My experience at Carotech Auto-motive was great. The shop is clean and the workers are professional. Gary is a pleasure to deal with. IMPRESSIVE!
I was treated to prompt, knowledgeable and attentive service. Gary is a kind and intelligent manager and the work appears first-rate.
I rarely write a review, but this is a must. I was desperately looking for shop that would help me with my 60,000 mile service, someone honest and affordable, as many of you know that is very hard to find. One of my very good friends referred me to Gary. I went down there, what a pleasant surprise, I told Gary what I want done, he went over all the steps and cost associated with it. He promised to have the car ready for me before closing, right on the dot, my car was ready for a great price. These guys truly deserve a 5 star, they have a customer for life. Thank you so much Gary!!!!
I was from out of town and didn’t know where to go but after looking over multiple reviews of many places felt good about this place. Owner and staff are excellent and did a great job. The price to repair my brakes was reasonable and they did the job in the time estimated. They even washed and cleaned my vehicle when done, the big shops don’t even do that. I now have a place to go when I have a issue in the future. Thanks again Gary and guys for a great job well done!!!
Im almost hesitant to give 4 stars because then everyone will find out about this place and Ill never get in to see Robert! Carotech Automotive Care is the absolute best. Robert is honest, knowledgeable, and gets the job done right every time. I trust him completely with my car, and have for years. This ones a gem!
Wow! I am so impressed! I took my car to my car dealer who wanted to charge me over $2000 in repairs. I wanted a second opinion so I discovered Carotech and took my car for an inspection. Guess what! I did not need all the work the dealer said my car needed. Instead the thorough inspection by Carotech indicated a few items that had been overlooked and I walked away with reasonable repairs and a feeling of being respected. I now have an honest car repair facility and am oh so grateful!
Good services
Im not sure why some would speak negatively about this company and its manager/owner. Carotech Automotive gives the best customer service hands down. Their prices are affordable and the service is exceptional. Gary is very kind and helpful. Juan Carlos is great Technician and goes over and beyond to make you feel comfortable with the work done on your vehicle. You should definitely give them some consideration for your vehicle repairs!
I cannot say enough good things about Carotech Automotive. My brakes were squeaky so I knew I needed them replaced. I stopped by to get a quote on brake pad replacement and was greeted by Gary. He took my info and told me he would call soon with a quote. Within the hour, I got text messages and emails with the details of what my car needed. He followed up shortly after the messages with the quote, which was significantly less than what I thought I would have to pay (he also gave me a discount for mentioning that I found his shop on Yelp!). When I returned in the afternoon to pick up my car (very short turnaround time), Gary explained everything the mechanics did in detail, showed me my used brake pads and mentioned what services I would eventually need (NOTE: He didnt pressure me into additional services, HUGE plus there). On top of the great service, they cleaned in interior and exterior of my car and detailed the engine... for no additional charge. Amazing.Overall, it was the easiest and most convenient experience. I will be returning here for all my auto services.
Outstanding customer service from these guys. Gary is a solid guy and these guys do a really good job. Saved me a lot of money and made sure my car was running right before just handing it back to me. I would highly recommend. Reasonably priced. Thank you!
The gentlemen at Carotech saved me from a terrible evening. They replaced a busted tire of mine and helped me find a ride home in the meantime. They are honest hardworkers who wont disappoint. I promise.
It is 10 years since I moved to LA, and I finally found a great mechanic. For a town where cars are a necessity, I was unhappy about mechanics until I found Carotech - right the the corner of Shenandoah and Pico. Gary K. is a terrific guy and Ive found him to be both expert in the field and very straightforward and trustworthy. Carotech (and Gary) have my highest recommendation. Great service. Good rates. Clear communication. Im really happy to have found a great repair shop in LA!
Finding a good mechanic is always an adventure! I took my car to several places before settling on carotech. The service was quick, update you via text and email which is nice, and most importantly, honest! They quoted me much higher than what I was charged BC they realized a certain part was not needed. They also washed / cleaned the inside and engine free of charge. Highly recommend!
