Raffi was so amazing during the whole process. From the very beginning I knew I was in good hands. He kept me updated every step of the way and made sure to get me my car ASAP. My car looks brand new and I’m so happy! I have already been recommending him to all my friends. Will not take my car anywhere else!!

I have a 1992 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible. Saab & Raffi worked on repairing a bad crankshaft pulley and non-working air conditioning system. The A/C compressor was replaced along with the refrigerant discharge and suction hose assembly. I went back later to Raffi with some additional issues on the A/C system, Raffi made it right and was very helpful, fast, courteous, and professional about the matter. A/C system on the Convertible is working perfect now just in time for summer. Raffi is also knowledgeable and straightforward answering questions about routine maintenance and complexities of owning a nearly 30 year old Saab.I just purchased a 1990 Saab 900 S Hatchback and trust Saab & Raffi to help me work through and solve some repair issues.Highly recommend Saab & Raff for any Saab repairs and maintenance.-Kristofer

If I could give 10 stars I would. What a beautiful, honest and helpful team. I never thought I’d ever include a repair shop in my night prayers but this shop deserves all the praise and more. Raffi goes above and beyond - the service is impeccable, quick and they are affordable. I can’t recommend Raffi enough - you don’t have to worry, they really got your back.

I had taken my Lexus to a more generic autoshop and they couldnt figure out what was wrong with my car. I was trying to avoid taking it to the dealership and so I came here and they replaced the right axle on my Lexus in less than a day! They are hardworking team and the owner Raffi is very genuine and honest man! I highly recommend 👌

Raffi gave me an immediate appointment. Efficiently diagnosed the noise in my BMW and quickly gave me some options. He completed the tire repair in 10 minutes at a very reasonable fee. He recommended some maintenance which I will follow up with ASAPThank you RaffiSee you again

I love Raffis place so much. I have two Saab 900s and he takes such good care of them. He loves my cars as much as I do and he is always very reasonable with the prices. He knows these cars better than any Saab garage Ive been to in LA. Just the best.

Clean-organized-attentive-proffesional-greatcustomer service and last very budget friendly. Oh yea one thing I prolly can complain about its the lack not enough shops like this around town to be able to get this kind of service. Only thing is a bit far for me but worth the drive. Ill definitely choose this for any car work before going to the dealer.

Raffi repaired my Honda CRV and made it like new again! The work his team did is impeccable. Moreover, he charged me an INCREDIBLY fair rate. He was far lower than the other quote I got, and working with him was a total pleasure. I highly recommend him and he now has me as a customer for life. THANK YOU Raffi!!

I was driving on Sunset when I ran over a nail nearly two weeks. Instant flat! A quick Google search of nearby auto shops pulled up Saab and Raffi. Their amazing reviews made it a no brainer. And the experience that followed has turned me into a life long customer... though I certainly hope I don’t a flat again any time soon. Sure, my tire was fixed in less than 10 minutes for probably the best deal on Sunset, but it was Raffi and his staff that made the process actually enjoyable. Kind and honest. There’s a reason they’ve been in business at the same location for 40 years! I now pledge allegiance to this mechanic. You should too. Thanks Raffi!

I have used Saab & Raffi to maintain my vehicals for year. Their honesty, fairness and attention to detail is second to none. To illustrate my point recently I was in getting an oil change on my BMW X5. I asked if they could recommend a good transmission shop because I was having some issues with my trans fumbling in certain gears. Raffi suggested that before I took the truck to the transmission shop that they try changing transmission filter and fluids. So I brought the truck in and they did a fluid service. After the service my truck as like brand new and I didnt have to get my transmission worked on at all. That saved me from spending lots of $$$ as the transmission shop would have tried to talk me in to lots of pricey and unnecessary work.

If you own a saab or a Volvo do yourself a favor and bring your car to this man. He’s so knowledgeable and kind which is a rarity in mechanics. I’ve used him for over 6 years now I own a saab 9-3 and a Volvo s40 both watched over by him. His pricing is always right there along other Swedish car mechanics and I will always no matter what bring it to him. Never pushy or imposing on anything and always clear with what’s to be done, the cost and if there’s any recommendations after also at what cost. Prudent place love it!

This guy absolutely knows what he is doing. Not only was he able to solve my problems, he was able to break them down in a way that I can understand. He will happily go out of his way for you, and break down the process and price. These cars are super tricky, but I am confident he has them figured out, no matter the age, make, and model.

Well after coming to this wonderful business for over 20 years with 3Saabs, i want to write to anyone looking for a good - honest - mechanic. LA is a wonderful city, but without a good running car ... stop by and see Raffi.

Review №19

AMAZING! He came to my attention from a friend who highly recommended him.1) His reviews are all 4 or 5 stars. That was impressive for me. What garage gets constant 4 or 5 stars?? Very blown away by seeing that.2) I knew he was a great mechanic because I had a leak in the head gasket (a death sentence for any car), and when I took my car to him he said Lets take it around the block and check. If its not a head gasket, I can save you money that you can spend on something else Any other mechanic would just give a quote right away and take your money, but the fact he wanted to confirm it for himself and help save me money, I thought that was not only very professional, but a decent human being helping out someone else.In the end, it was a leak, and we replaced the engine and got a new one with VERY low mileage!Incredible service. Definitely will come back! Highly recommend.

I took my 1989 Saab 900 to Raffi shortly after moving to LA for an oil change and have been going back for service ever since. His extensive knowledge of older Saab’s is incredible, and I appreciate how much information he shares on what has been done to the car when I pick it up. Will continue to bring my classic Saab here and suggest the same to anyone who has one.

I brought my car in on my lunch break, intending to just book it back to work on foot. When Raffi realized this he gave me a ride instead. Talk about service above and beyond! Regarding my repair, he was very honest and not out to get my money. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a trustworthy repair shop.

The best experience I’ve ever had with an auto body shop. Raffi is amazing. Such a generous guy, you can’t help but want to be his friend. They did a phenomenal job on my car with a quick turn around. I’ll be sending friends and family to them for sure.. and I’ll be back should I need their expertise.. thank you Raffi!

Review №26

They charged me 170$ to fix a car light, change the coolant and the air filter. I have no idea in cars, he said it’s one hour and send me for a walk, probably so I don’t see what he does. The car light wasn’t changed and the coolant as well as my boyfriend later looked at the car. There was almost nothing done to my car, they just ripped me off.

I was very impressed with the level of work that Raffi and his team were able to perform. Having dealing with vintage cars and having them restored, I can definitely say that I will return with if I have another problem. My vintage Mercedes was involved in a hit and many shops denied service because of the year of my car. Luckily, I walked into Saab and Raffi and they gave me full confidence that the work would be done. They did a superb job putting on the replacement parts and even matching the paint which is difficult to do with my car. Thanks Raffi!

Absolutely wonderful service. As a woman sometimes I feel repair men try to take advantage but as soon as you walk into Saab and Raffi you feel safe and well taken care of. Raffi knew right away what to repair and how much it would cost. Prices are listed so you never have to guess or expect a surprise. The family photos in the office and warm conversation made my husband I feel like we were just asking a friend to fix a part.Thanks Raffi!!

I highly recommend Saab &Raffi. I could not be happier with their service. Raffi was very straight forward, honest, and professional with what needed to be done to fix my car. Not only did he do a great job, but it was done in a timely manner for an amazing price. They know what they are doing!

I was in an auto accident where my driver door, front fender, and hinge pillar were damaged. I went to 2 body shops, where the first did not want to work on the car, and the second could not find all of the parts and was charging a high price. Faced with somehow having to get my car to my mechanic in Hawthorne and missing more time from work, I was referred to Saab & Raffi. Not only was he able to get the parts and do an excellent job with repairing the door, pillar, and fender, he literally finished in a day and half when I was expecting the job to take 4 or 5 days! I have already spoken to three people about his quality of work and recommend that you have your vehicles be serviced by him!Scott

Review №32

My first experience with Saab and Raffi. My 2011 Audi S5 battery died, the original one, not bad 8 years and 130 k miles in. Beverly Hills Audi service quote me 830+tax to replace it. The battery was going to cost 335 thus labor would be nearly 500 dollars. Yes, for something that should take 15-20 minutes max. Thats almost fraud.Raffi got me a cheaper battery that probably wont last as long but long enough for the remainder of the cars life, which probably is around 3,4 years. The battery was 225 and Raffi didnt even charge me for labor.And, his time estimate was spot on, well, he had it done even before he promised. Am glad to have found a great independent mechanic! Hes worth his weight in gold :)

Saab & RaafiRaffi is the best!!! Dont take your car anywhere else for collision or mechanical repairs. He took custody of car and set up towing and cheap rental. He is an honest and good guy...very pleasant and nice. I give him FIVE STARS (out of five).Rarely do I write reviews, but had to on this one. Very, very satisfied.Tim

Raffi is the kind of mechanic who makes his living by making customers happy enough that theyll return to his shop again, not milking every last penny out of a job. If youre ever in a car accident, give his team a call — I cant recommend him highly enough.

Saab and Raffi have been looking after my cars for over 4 years now and I cannot express how wonderful this team is. From Liz who deals with customers to the mechanics who work endlessly to fix ANY problem. I highly recommend their services, and would also like to add that they do bodywork and work on ANY car.

Totally saved my butt! My car wasn’t starting and when I finally got it to start, I brought it straight to Raffi. I got here a few minutes after closing and he still offered to replace my battery immediately and at a great price! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The folks at Saab & Raffi are terrific. Ive been taking my cars (first a SAAB and now an Audi) to them for 12 years even though their Hollywood location is nowhere near my Pasadena home. I trust them completely and never feel as if Im being taken advantage of. When I first went there, they detected and solved an issue the dealership had failed to correct for four years (despite charging me for many unsuccessful fixes). Ive been a loyal Saab & Raffi customer ever since.

Raffi knows what he is doing, he is the type of mechanic who is easy to deal with, he is not after the money he is going to earn but the quality of his work and the customer’s satisfaction. Good work Raffi, keep up the good work!

Raffi has become my new and go to mechanic. Every time something comes up I find myself calling (which I’m sure is super annoying) but he’s always been patient and listens to what I have to say. I came to him when my transmission in my ml350 wasn’t working. I called him like after 6 and he said bring the car and we’ll go around the block and see what’s wrong. Come to find out it, it needed a new computer. I left my car with him that night and he even dropped me at home beforehand so I wouldn’t have to walk about late. That alone spoke volumes and he also helped me out by working out an arrangement on the payment because we all know how crazy the pricing is for parts and especially with it happening so randomly, safe to say I was not prepared. So thank you Saab and Raffi! You’ve got a new lifelong client.

Raffi has personally given my girlfriend and i ride home from the shop because we are young students and he understood that we werent able to order an uber, always very fast and professional with me. I trust him with any of my cars. great shop, great employees, will not bring my cars anywhere else but here.

Review №45

If you have a Saab, come here. Raffi is a bit rough around the edges. What I mean by that is that his customer service is lacking. After meeting him face to face, not to bad of guy, knows his stuff real good. Little on the pricey side, but it will get done.

Review №46

Saab is a guy, not a car! They do great work on ALL foreign cars. Raffi is a smart, honest lead mechanic, and all of his team are experienced pros. Raffi cares about his customers and stands by the quality of his work. If you are tired of getting jerked around and ripped off, Raffi will treat you like family and treat your car like it is his.
