For a woman going to an auto shop is nerve wrecking. But Victor over there made it a good experience. I was in and out provided me with more than enough information. Honest and clean.
I LOVE them. Took care of Baby, decent prices, quick and friendly service and always with aloha. I appreciate the peer to peer communication with explanations where needed, the loaner car for overnight serviceand that feeling of being taken care of not being taken advantage of. Very honest, reliable people and work. AND they gave her a bath when I came to pick her up!
Lions Automotive is great. Their staff, their services are both terrific. They deliver on time n stay within their quoted price. I have been going there for over a decade and I wont take my vehicles anywhere else.
It was my pleasure to take my Honda to Lions Automotive. My aged Honda Civic had failed its smog test. Victor and his team not only made repairs to fix the smog issue, they also checked my vehicle in a very comprehensive and thorough way. I was given status updates via email, overall they were very professional and trustworthy! I do not hesitate to recommend them for their knowledge and integrity!
Victor is fast approaching the 30th Anniversary of being my exclusive automotive mechanic. What can’t I say about him. He has always received the highest ratings from AAA, and he and his mechanics are members of Automotive Service Excellence - a Group that provides continuing education and certification testing for service specialties. Having Victor and his team available for your automotive servicing needs is like having a Mayo Clinic for your car. We are truly blessed here in the South Bay.Another GREAT job, Victor - and I loved reviewing your scope of work via text messages!Thank you!
Victor and his team are outstanding. Been going there for years. One of the few auto repair shops I trust completely. Professional, fair. Great communication. Highly recommend
Victor left my car running better than ever! 1982 El Camino 👍
Victor is awesome. He always explains in terms I understand and doesn’t try to upsell services. I’ve been coming here over 15 years and would highly recommend them.
I’ve been coming here for years now. Victor has always been professional and friendly. He’s very knowledgeable and provides excellent service! Highly recommend for local business in Torrance area.
I have had numerous vehicles serviced at Lions Automotive. Victor is very fair, trustworthy, does quality work and hits the commitment date. I would highly recommend.
Have been using for years and trust the service. Every long trip camping or boating I take with my family I have no concerns about my vehicles. I trust the work and enjoy the people at Lions.
I would recommend this company to EVERYONEProfessional owner and staff. Very reasonable prices. 5 STAR SERVICE!!!
Yes, yes, yes. Take your cars here. Ive been servicing here for years, although I dont have to come in often because they do such a great job the first time. Victor has a great staff, and weve become close over the years. Super thankful to have an extremely honest auto mechanic.
I was thoroughly impressed with the service that Lions Automotive provided when I brought my vehicle in for repairs. Victor Leon (owner), Si Si, and the entire staff were all very pleasant, courteous and professional. Victor provided me with an estimate shortly after I brought my vehicle in, and the repairs were completed on time, as promised. Repairs were done correctly, and my vehicle was absolutely clean when they were finished! I was totally satisfied their service, and I would not hesitate to recommend Lions Automotive to anyone who is in need of automotive repairs.
Ive been going to lions automotive for the past 2 years and it has always been very honest with me. I had issues with my brakes and when I started driving it after they repaired it, it was making so much noise. I brought it back and Victor replaced it with no additional fees. He really cares for the customer and the cars. Highly recommended.
They got my car done in a timely manner. Everything works great. Also like the friendliness of the people that work there. Victor was kind and helpful. The only thing I would have liked was a shuttle type service. I was getting lots done to my car but had to Uber myself to and from the place. I suppose only major dealerships offer that nowadays. But great job Lion’s. Would definitely recommend you to my friends.
Received trusted and reliable information about my repairs before the work was performed. The price for all of the work required was reasonable. The automated system to give one up-to-date details is superb, the owner and staff are very friendly and informative, and the work was completed in less time than I expected. I highly recommend Victor and his staff for your automotive repair needs.Phil
THE BEST MOST PROFESSIONAL AND HONEST AUTO REPAIR WE HAVE EVER DEALT WITH,
Solid folks. Great work. Fantastic customer service. The text updates were amazing!
My Favorite Automotive Repair Shop!Victor is a great, awesome, and fair guy!Thanks a lot!
Victor and the team at Lions Automotive always treat my family with respect and provide honest excellent service at a fair price. This shop is a rare find and we will continue to have all of our vehicles serviced there.
My Jeep Wrangler didnt pass the smog test. UGH! Lions Automotive was my next stop & Victor figured out what was wrong, got it fixed and Mr. Jeep passed with flying colors on the 2nd test. Lions has taken care of my car for years now with my full confidence.
Lions automotive has been servicing all our personal & business vehicles for over 20 yrs now and have always exceeded expectations & gone above the call of duty !!! We highly recommend their full service auto repair shop to all our friends & clients!!! Thanks victor & staff for a long & appreciated relationship
I am so glad that I found Lions Automotive. It is absolutely the best auto repair business in the south bay. At other repair shops I usually feel that I am paying too much for their service or worse yet, getting service I really did not need. Not the case at Lions Automotive. Owner and operator Victor Leon is very knowledgeable and a certified mechanic himself, and even better, he is as honest as the day is long. They always treat their customers fairly and resolve mechanical issues and I always leave feeling that I got great service at a very fair price.
Victor runs a good shop. He is an honest man and a pleasant person. I would recommend his shop to anybody.
I would recommend Lions Automotive to anyone looking for an auto repair shop. I received a recommendation to come to Lions Automotive through a friend of mine and now I would hands down recommend them to anyone looking for an auto repair shop. I brought my 2015 Ford Explorer here to get new brakes and through the process I ended up changing the front rotors, cabin filter and getting an oil change. The program which they use to keep you informed of the process is very professional. From the moment I dropped the car off to the moment I picked it up I was constantly kept in the loop by text messages, e-mails and reports which showed me their findings and recommendations. Pictures were included with the reports which help determine what needed to be fixed. I truly appreciate the professionalism and courtesy Victor and his staff gave me and my family.
Lions Automotive completed the work in the timeframe, and at the price, they quoted me. Victor is very pleasant to deal with. I never felt like they were trying to sell me services that I didnt need. I also really like their use of technology. Theyll text you with a link containing a very detailed evaluation of your car, and you get email updates as your car moves from evaluation, on through completion of the work. I would definitely take my car back to Lions.
I would recommend Lions Automotive to anyone that owns any type of vehicle. All the employees are professional, courteous, and contentious. The work I had done on my vehicle was performed in a timely and expert manner and the charge was perfectly reasonable. When you take your vehicle to Lions, you know that when you get it back the work has been done right and there will be no follow up or return visit. Thank You Lions Automotive.
Took car in for Transmission oil change. They completed the work on time and at the price quoted. They also saw a leak, sent pictures, and asked if I wanted the leak fixed and quoted price. They did not just proceed with work until approved. Very nice for people with tight budgets.Did great work, Love the service and car is running great! My go to guys for the tough car repair jobs I cant do in the backyard.Thanks Victor, Sal, Bob and Olivia for the service. Love the Email with pictures of needed repair. Keep it up.
Honest pricing, on time, and even sends updates to your phone. Im a car guy and usually do my own work, but sometimes you just gotta farm it out & I feel comfortable trusting Victor & his crew with my trucks.
I have been going to Lions for years now and I love this auto shop. Most of all I love the employees (Bob, Sal, Victor), they are truly awesome and thorough at their jobs. Lets not forget the hard working mechanics who perform all the work on your vehicles-(INCREDIBLE). Ive referred family members who are very happy with their results. They are honest, give you details of all problems and you will receive emails. Give them a try and you wont be disappointed.
Lions Automotive is the king of the mechanics jungle!Victor and his crew are extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Their entire focus is on customer service and satisfaction. Plus, this is one of the cleanest repair shops Ive ever seen.I am very satisfied with the repairs they performed on my vehicle and the reasonable price they charged. They went above and beyond. I highly recommend this shop.
Have been going to Lions for about 2 years now. Very honest and quality work. They recommend only what is needed, and try to save money wherever possible. Courtesy inspection is really helpful.Not to forget the ride back after dropping the vehicle is really helpful.
A decent car repair shop; very clean, very professional, and take you seriously. They take the time to thoroughly explain all the issues you have with your car and provide estimates in a timely manner. Repair leadtimes were a bit longer than I expected, but the quality is worth the wait. The fact that they are willing to work with you and your budget is a huge plus for this shop.I recommend this shop to all my friends who live in South Bay.
Ive visited Lions twice, and Ive received reliable service both times. Victor is knowledgeable and friendly, and the service is efficient. I plan on returning the next time my car needs a fix.
I have been going to Lions for my automotive repair issues for years and years. I am so satisfied with their service that I recommend them to my friends and neighbors. Victor has been fair with my friends and I and I will continue to count on Victor and his team to keep my vehicles on the road! :)
UPDATE - 10/12/2020 - Everything I said in my earlier review still stands. I still come here for all my automotive service and repairs and have not regretted it ever. Victor is the best and takes good care of his customers. I have been holding off getting my car serviced because of the Covid-19 pandemic, so I was very glad when I could finally take my car in for service. As always, they took great care of me and were able to get my car back to me as scheduled. So, if you are looking for a place to take your car, please give Lion’s a call. They aren’t the cheapest guys in town, just the best and they stand behind the work they do. END OF NEW POST These guys are the best! They stand behind their work without give the customer a lot of grief if there are any problems with anything they have done. Their shop is always clean and well maintained (including their designer bathroom and when was the last time you went to a mechanic shop with a clean, designer quality bathroom).The best thing I can say about them is that I have been a customer of theirs for like 12 or 15 years (I initially went to them based on an AAA recommendation) with several different brands of cars, and they have never disappointed me. This alone should speak volumes about the quality of the work and customer service I have received from them over the years. Victor, Bob, Sal and the guys in the shop always take good care of me. I never hesitate to recommend them to friends and family and nobody that I have referred to Lions have ever been disappointed and all have become converts and long time customers as well.So my recommendation is go to Lions and you wont be disappointed! I did and I have never regretted it! I just wish I could have rated them a 10!
I have had two visits to Lions Automotive recently to get the oil changed on my cars. I was able to get in when I wanted to and as soon as I arrived I was helped politely and promptly by Sal. The owner, Victor happened to be in and so we chatted for awhile. He is extremely professional and kind. Hes been in the auto business for a long time now and enjoys providing outstanding customer service.The waiting room is very neat and clean with a nice variety of magazines and a Keruig. I used their wifi password to get some work done while I was there. The restroom is amazing - very neat in clean! Nothing like Ive ever seen at an auto repair shop.Each oil change took about 30-45 minutes. Upon check out, I was given an prioritized list of other services that were need for my almost 13 year old mini-van. Sal even took a few minutes and looked up some of the prices on the needed services.Lions automotive is a very respectable business and I will continue to bring my cars there for service.
I went in for a transmission issue. They told me I would have to replace my entire transmission at a cost of more than $3,500. I wanted a second opinion so I took it to the dealer who said it just need a new controller module. They replaced it and the car works great since then. Ill went by Lions and talked to one of the office staff and told them my story and they seemed to not care and Im sure they didnt pass it on to the owner. I would highly recommend not taking your car to Lions. You cant trust their diagnosis and repair strategies.
Replaced bad fuel pump and truck runs better than before! Check for a exhaust leak for meAnd I realized I had 3 leaks I didnt know I had .thanks for everything!!!
Lion’s Automotive was recommended to me by AAA. They make a stressful situation a relief. Towed my car there Thursday evening, filled out form that’s affixed to envelope sealed keys in envelope and dropped it in the “Early Bird”, drop box. They open at 8 and I received a call at 8:10 from Jack requesting more detail about the problem I was experiencing with my car. They set you up on a text service that lets you know the stages your car is in during the repair, they called me soon thereafter and told me what the problem was and how much it was gonna cost & let me just say, I was dreading and anxiously waiting for the “extreme price”. Thankfully the price wasn’t bad at all, VERY REASONABLE (considering everyone I knew guess-timated in the $1000’s), thank you for proving everyone wrong. Price quoted to me was exactly what I paid - no more and no less!!! Picked up my car on Tuesday evening - I’m a happy gal. Thank you Lions Automotive team!!! I found my mechanic shop for all my car’s future needs. Highly recommended!! If you go anywhere else expect to pay more - go here for friendly, fast, reasonable, above and beyond service!!!
In my opinion the best most trustworthy mechanics around because the shop is headed up by owner, Victor. Ive been coming here for years for work on my car and wont go anywhere else.
My truck clutch gave out on a busy street in Torrance about 35 miles from home. Did not know what to do, called Auto Club, they sent a tow truck and recommended Lions repair shop. My thought was here I go, will be rip off again! Well, I Meet Victor at Lions & immediately felt better. Victor was great, He took me to the car rental, this was late in the day and they could not get to my vehicle till the next day. Well Victor called the next day said the clutch on my Toyota had a loose connection and was ready to go at a cost of $60.00. The car rental was $24.00 and Victor even took me to the Toyota Museum which I loved. Bottom line, I was glad my truck broke down because I got to meet the honest people at Lions Auto Repair and got to visit the Toyota museum./
Ive got one thing to say...I hope its a lot of years before Victor (Lions owner) retires from auto repair. Hes fair and explains what needs to be done on my car and why. Ive also found that no one at Lions oversells. A few years ago my 1994 Jeep got a new engine from Victor it got a new lease on life, runs like a charm. I trust Victor with my cars needs.UPDATE: A couple of weeks ago, I took my Jeep in for a regular service and Victor saw an issue that was going to cost me at least $150 more. But he figured out a way to fix he problem without a new part! This is a major reason I go to Lions.
I know that I can trust them.
Very nice crew with an extensive modern shop. Fair prices and excellent work
Fair price and excellent customer service! Best on Van Ness!
Victor is wonderful when dealing with my older car. Highly recommend his team and the work they do😉
Always a great experience. They go above and beyond.
Victor, the owner of Lions Automotive is just great! The best.
Good customer service and AAA approved shop.
Victor is an amazing businessman and mechanic
Great place to take your car for service if you like honest people with fair prices.
Took my car into Lions due to check engine light when my car stalled on the freeway. They said it was the cam sensor unit needing replacing and also convinced me to have water pump replaced. Less than 2 weeks later, check engine light went on again, took the car back and they said it was cam sensor unit again (first cam sensor from Honda rarely ever fails, one in a million.) They replaced it at no charge. Less than 2 weeks later engine light went on and car stalled on freeway. Took car into Lions again, now the rocker arm sensor is bad. I paid again to have replaced but later found out from another mechanic they are essentially same unit, and check engine probably kept coming up due to faulty wiring, not units.I feel like I got taken to the cleaners and got a new car to avoid any more issues.
I can always count on Lions Automotive to keep my work trucks on the road, and keeping me in business! Thank you your awesome!!
Lions performed a complete Brake job, Rotors and Pads, the work was done on time and at the price quoted. I will be using them in the future for all servicing on my vehicle.
Lions did a tough job for me most places told me I had to take my Expedition to a dealer to get it fixed. They fixed it and saved me some bucks, I will take all my cars there in the future.
Professional and trustworthy!
Good shop
Great staff and mechanics.
Excellent services!
Awesome
