Armando does great work at a good rate. Ive been taking my 91 Range Rover Classic to him for the past few months, and he is very friendly and fair. He also recently expanded his shop and it looks fantastic!

I want to start this review by saying thank you to Armando and his entire crew. I took in my LR3 for a suspension repair and general maintenance. As anyone that owns a Land Rover knows that air suspension can become a nightmare. Armando and crew have the experience and knowledge to efficiently diagnose and repair the issues. I will absolutely take any of my vehicles there. I appreciate their good work .

These guys dont even know what is land rover they took two weeks to repair my car and when i picked up the car imediatley.i check engine light came on and after few miles driving i saw smokes all over the car and i towed the vehicle back to them they tried to cheat me and saying its my fault that engine is overheated infact they were the one not tightening the coolant hoses, do not trust their reviews its all fake

I knew from my friends Armando fixed Jaguars, but I went on a limb with my suburu that a broken Axel, I called and to my surprise Armando told me he works on any car even though his business is called European he was more then willing to help! After looking up and calling other shops I decided this shop had the price and my friend highly recommended it, so I had it towed to Armando. in just a couple days he called me to pick it up, I tested it and everything was perfect! I couldnt be more grateful, anyone looking to repair a car (of any kind dont let the name fool you) in Santa Monica Armando is the man to go to!

Whether its keeping my beloved 91 Volvo 740 purring or diagnosing an intermittent problem on our newer car I know that I have been treated fairly whenever I have needed help.I trust Armando to treat his customers with respect. He patiently explains how repairs can be made and makes sure we dont spend more than we need to get the job done.Whenever I have checked prices for similar work I have always been satisfied that we are getting the best price for the repair that we need.

Ive taken my Range Rover here a few times. They always do good work for a really good price, often with same day service.

I cant praise Armando and his dedicated team on doing outstanding and honest work. These guys care about your car! YES they need to pay bills but they will not overcharge or rip you off. They work hard and they understand the mechanics of cars. If something goes wrong with my vehicle, Immediately I call or text Armando and he either Picks up or responds back right away and ALWAYS with a smile. Always with respect. Thank You Armando for taking grand care of my car!

Armando is truly a talented mechanic, every time I leave his shop I feel like Im driving a new car, he goes above and beyond. What I mean by that is say you go somewhere to change your oil, and they change your oil but also your transmission oil give you coolant, fill up all the other fluids and fix a leak but still only charge for the oil change, then you pick up your car and they dont say a word, you drive away and its running smoother then ever! thats just an example, I dont know what he does in reality I just know that every time hes done with whatever it may be I brought my car to him for, it seems to not only fix that problem but it just drives better in general! and his pricing is very fair, in fact compared to other shops Ive been too at this point hes probably saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars, I have a 17 year old car that needs a whole lot of love and its rare to find a good mechanic and a good price and I have no doubt my car is being taken good care of by Armando! Highly recommended!!

Great shop, honest, good quality and not overpriced!

Im an uber driver so my car is very important to me, I came to Armando because my car started squeaking, Armando let me know my shocks were bad but he didnt just tell me like most mechanics would he showed me exactly how they look and how they should look then went through different pricing options with me, I ended up saving money compared to other quotes, my squeaking stopped and my car is running better then ever! I will definitely be back!!TIP:If you have a Jaguar dont waste money at the dealer Armando is apparently A certified Jaguar Master Technician!

2020 Update: If youre in the market for an honest and masterful mechanic, look no further. Ive been bringing my BMW to Armandos for the past 2 years. My car runs better today than the day I got it. Its performance noticeably improves every time Armando and his team perform routine maintenance and go the extra mile to ensure it is in tip top shape. Do yourself a favor and bring your car to Armando - youll see what I mean!---------------Armando is a true rarity both as a mechanic and as a businessman. Honest. Expert Mechanic. Great guy. Extremely fair prices. What more could you ask for in a mechanic? Early on, I knew I could trust Armando with my BMW 5-series, the first car I ever bought (previously drove a 90s hand-me-down c-class Benz until it died). Read on if you want to inform yourself on the best mechanic in LA.Initially, I was in the market for a mechanic to inspect a 2012 BMW 5-Series that I found at a good price from a Santa Monica dealership. I called Armando. The first thing I noticed- he was very polite and accommodating on the phone. Not only that, he offered the inspection for a price that was more than fair.Right off the bat, Armando saved me $500. The car had a dying battery, despite the dealerships claims that everything was tip-top. Other than that, he said the car was good- and if I think about it, I decided to buy the car based on Armandos judgment of its condition, which says a lot about his expertise and the vibe he projects as a person. After Armandos inspection, I was able to reduce the dealerships asking price by $500, which covered the cost to install a brand-new BMW factory battery. I have done all maintenance at Armandos ever since, and the car performs better and better each time I get it back.Look at it this way. You may be someone like me who wants to drive a well-engineered German vehicle because you value performance and safety. You can afford to buy a used BMW, Mercedes, etc. because lets face it, they can be found for the same price as a used Prius.The anxiety for those whose pockets arent so deep can be high, because what if something goes wrong with your ride? Can you afford it? Do you understand the bells and whistles, warning signs coming from the computer of your 2010s car? Probably not. You can drive the car you want and know that youll be taken care of if you make Armando your mechanic. He is 100% honest about whats going on with your car, is extremely thorough in diagnostic testing, does not use cheap parts, only factory, all the while at a great price you can afford whether it be regular maintenance, or if something were to go wrong. Its a no brainer.Taking your car to Armandos, whether its foreign or domestic, is ultimately a wise investment. The amount of care and attention he and his team will give your car will prolong its life and keep it performing at the height of its abilities. I know their great work and attention to detail will prevent any major issues arising with my car, which is always a worry with European rides, but it doesnt have to be.10/10.

Fantastic service for our Q5. Even though it was last minute on a Friday. Thank you!

5 stars from tip to tail - Q5

Javier and Armando will take care of you
