Gary and Mitch, and the team at Legit are the absolute best. It’s not often you find an automotive repair shop that doesn’t try to upsell or recommend unnecessary repairs.These guys are truly Legit and very honest.I’m a 20+ year customer and will always trust them.

The only place, other than the BMW dealership, that has original BMW engine oil. Cheaper than any other place I know for oil change. They are, most definitely, the most LEGIT shop in the industry.

This was the second time Id taken my car to Legit Automotive. The first time, they fixed an existing problem and made me aware of something else they found, which I would need to fix sooner or later if I was going to keep the car. Well, about six months went by, and sure enough that time eventually came. It was an involved and complicated repair. When I showed up to get the car, Gary had saved the parts to show me exactly what they did, the components that had gone bad, and how they replaced it, and additional problems they found that needed to be fixed as they related to the existing repair/issue. They were fully transparent about parts and labor, and the price for the job was very fair based upon what I was quoted by other mechanics. Also, the interior of my car was clean when I picked it up despite being worked on for many hours. Would highly recommend for everything from oil changes, to complicated diagnostic jobs where you need to be confident that you are getting the correct information and making the right decision to invest in the repair.

Usually not the type to take my vehicle into smaller auto body shops. I like to think I get more peace of mind at the dealership, but they ultimately do a disservice when it comes to pricing. So I had a friend of mine recommend this place, and thought I would give them a call. Right from the go, the man who answered my call seemed straight forward and forthright. My car had been vandalized and I needed to get my rear window fixed as soon as possible, so I called a few places, got quotes and the run around, but this man seemed the most legit. Went in on a hunch, and left satisfied, overall. The work was done on point and on time, and it was reasonably priced. Definitely going to have to check this place out again for some future work.

Took my car to get inspected after I bought it, and everyone was so nice. They walked me through everything they found, and explained it so I could understand exactly what needed to be done. I will definitely be returning for service in the future!

If youre looking for a trustworthy spot this is the place. Was having severe trust issues with another LA mechanic and decided to take here for a 2nd opinion. Gary was patient and very thorough when walking me through everything wrong with the car. Highly recommend!

So happy to have found a reliable and trustworthy mechanic shop! (Especially a shop specializing in German cars!) I was being quoted over $3K of damages with the BMW dealership and I was able to walk away with less than $1K of cost getting everything I needed fixed for my BMW 330Xi.Mitch was great at explaining what truly needed to get fixed and gave me better pricing than 3 other local shops were able to. He was also nice enough to take the time explaining to me why things were being done and showed me exactly what he was talking about so nothing came as a surprise at the end!

The most trusted Auto Repair spot in Los Angeles! Gary is the most honest mechanic I have every come across. I hadnt seen him in YEARS, stopped by last week; quickly ran a diagnostic and provided the best form of action to take, ended up costing a LOT less than I anticipated. Thank You!4/1/2019 UPDATE - Came back with my one year old car to save BIG time compared to the dealership repair quote. Also, staff was super attentive and efficient in repair time. THANK YOU!

Time will tell on if good mechanically, most annoyingly my car now has oil/grease stains on the drivers seat, steering wheel and door handle, it’s disgusting, as well as my jeans are likely ruined, very poor. And don’t make the mistake to tell them the very latest you may need the car, no updates for 3 days

Amazing service! We had an unexpected problem during our road trip, and they were able to get us in within the hour of opening, they called and updated us with their findings, and were very upfront with us about things that needed fixed vs. things that could wait until after our trip back home. Their reviews stuck out to us first, and we would highly recommend them.

Gary and team are absolutely HONEST. They will no fool you with any wrong information. I give all my cars to them all the time. Infact I am so dependent on them that I dont let any other mechanic touch my car. Friendly, Honest and very helpful team. Me and all my friends trust him and approach him for all car services. Absolutely recommended.

Paid a 1350 dollars for a coolant leak. They replaced everything only to get my car back still leaking. The staff is great but don’t think they were so good diagnosing the problem. I took my truck to the Range Rover dealer to find out a 26 dollar hose connector went bad. Replaced it for 126 dollars and I was back in the road. Only recommend this place if you yourself can diagnose the problem. Nonetheless I got all new parts installed so it wasn’t a total waste ..

Gary and his crew have taken such wonderful, professional care of me EVERY TIME Im in need of their auto care services. Having an automotive service center and mechanics that you can trust with your vehicle is a MUST in Los Angeles and Im so grateful for having them there in my time of need - especially during this busy holiday season. THANK YOU GARY and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016 to you, your crew and everyones families!!!

I brought an out of shape 2003 Toyota Camry that I thought would nerver run again and they made it run like new. It cost me, but it was worth it. Give it a try but dont expect discounts.

Legit lives up to the name. I went in to get an estimate on repairs for my 2006 VW Beetle Convertible. I met with Gary and he was extremely nice and honest. After giving him the low-down on my situation and the cars condition he advised me not to get an estimate and to instead trade my car in for a new one. I was blown away by how honest he was! So much so that Ill be taking my new car in to him when I need a fix up and recommending this place to all my friends. Honesty goes a long way!

I have an 07 Audi A4 and a 2003 Subaru WRX. I always bring my cars to Gary when the job is too big or I dont have time to do it. They just installed a brand new clutch in my WRX. Turn around was super quick. He told me he would have it on Monday and guess what? It was done on Monday. The car is running great. They didnt leave a mess in my car. I have also had oil changes done on the Audi and will be coming back to get an alignment when I buy new tires for the car next week. Great shop.

Today as my first visit, but definitely not last, to Legit Automotive. My 2007 VW Passat was misfiring, and I had it towed to Legit Auto after reading their reviews here on Google. I have to say, they live up to their reputation.I dropped my car off, and got a call within an hour with a diagnosis of the issue and an estimate for the cost. They price was great, very reasonable. I gave him the go ahead, and within a few more hours, my car was done. I couldnt pick it up during their normal business hours, so we arranged for me to grab it at night. I dealt with a man name Gary throughout the entire day, and he was great. He described exactly what was wrong, how much the parts and labor would cost, and was kind as well.I highly recommend these guys! Ill definitely be back.

I took my 2000 VW Jetta to have a variety of services performed on it. From premium oil changes, new brake pads (and extras) and A/C repair, Gary took care of all my problems and was the most reasonably priced quote that I received from several mechanics.Now I have an 1988 Honda accord and plan on taking it there for all of my needs. Listen to the others, Legit auto is pretty great.-B

These guys are great! I dont know much about cars, so I came here when my headlights mysteriously stopped illuminating the road. The guy said Your bulbs are burned out, and its an easy fix. He said he could do it if I wanted, but I could also do it. So I went and got light bulbs from the auto shop just down the street, then changed out one bulb. I was having trouble changing the other and my manual said to do it at the shop because it required removal of the battery, so I went back. I explained my experience and he changed it in about 2 seconds and didnt charge me.

I was in need of a new mechanic, and there were so many good reviews for Legit Automotive. So I thought I would give them a try. I was truely impressed. Gary and his crew took care of me. They were friendly, fast and efficient. They laid out a plan for my 09 Hyundia Elantra. Oil change, front brakes, and even went the extra mile to help me with an issue I had with my bumper.All for a great price. Finally a mechanic that isnt out to price gauge and knows what theyre doing. The customer behind me was only too happy to recommend them and was giving them her return business. I can see why.I will defenately be seeing Gary and his crew at Legit Auto for my future car needs. New mechanic found. I would also recommend them. Just call ahead they are a smaller shop and seem busy.
