Robert and Nicole (the owners of Shorty’s) are both amazing and professional. I don’t ever think twice about taking my Subaru to them. Robert’s expertise has helped me out on multiple occasions. I appreciate and trust this business!

I needed to get a smog check done on a newly purchased car which had been sitting for over a year. New battery and reset computer makes it hard to smog without driving in a certain prescribed manner.Nicole was extremely helpful telling me to come by and they'll run a check of the codes. Found 2 codes needing attention. I did the driving as she outlined. Came back and the car passed the first time.Robert was very professional and helpful.I highly recommend this business.

Rob and Nicole are amazing and Shorty's is a total asset to the East Side community. They're thorough, honest, and very competent. I brought my Audi in to Shorty's for a routine service and to see if Rob could help me out with the catalytic converter codes I'd been running. The Audi mechanics wanted to replace the catalytic converter and the o2 sensor, which would've cost several thousands of dollars. Rob was super honest and upfront with me about Audis not being Shorty's bread and butter, but that he could help by giving it a diagnostic, figure out what things needed attention, and decide if it was time for me to shop around for another car. In the end, he recommended that I shouldn't default to replacing the cat or the sensor and hypothesized that it was a vacuum leak, also putting together a list of priority items--which Nicole explained in detail--for my independent euro car mechanic in San Francisco to go through and replace with Audi parts. My mechanic in the city read Rob's report and agreed with everything, remarking at how thorough it was. It turns out, the car did indeed have a cracked vacuum hose. He used Rob's notes to fix all the other little things that needed attention, and now I'm back to having a perfectly running car with 160K miles on it. It's really nice to have a shop out here that can pinch hit for this kind of troubleshooting and, even if they prefer not to get into some things themselves, provide a real honest and detailed diagnosis of the likely causes and solutions are. We're lucky to have them.

I've worked with Rob and Nicole at Shorty's Speed Shop a couple of times now, and I have to say: it's nice having a mechanic in our area who is honest and straightforward, with good customer service. Their smog service is fairly priced, easy to schedule, and quick. They both are also very knowledgeable when it came to any questions I had, and are great at communicating. Thanks guys! You'll definitely be my first call when I need help with any of my cars!

I was traveling up north from LA for a short camping trip, and my Subaru was having some trouble coming out of death Valley. We just barely made it into Bishop, and I was so happy to find Shorty's. I explained I wanted to leave town tomorrow but my old 5 speed wasn't accelerating properly at 2000 RPM. He speculated some diagnostics and explained he was quite booked up with work but could give it a shot. I dropped in the following morning, and within just a couple hours, miraculously Robert got me on the road! They thoroughly explained the issue, which I appreciate, and also did not charge a rush fee (as I assume happens to all tourists in a pinch) and he and his wife Nicole were so sweet, they recommended some regular scheduled maintenance that I did not have on my radar. Honestly, I wish Shortys were in LA! I'd be a regular!

Had the check engine light pop up on my Subaru and while they didn't have enough time in their schedule to work on my car, they helped me do a brief assessment based on the error codes my car presented and it's behavior to help me determine if I needed to get the car towed to another shop or if it'd be fine to drive it over to another one. Even though I wasn't going to be a customer, they spent 20-30 minutes with me just to help out. This shop is run by great people and I would definitely bring my car to them in the future.

Fixed everything on my 2005 Chevy Malibu, then I took it on a 3500 mile road trip, 18 days, not one thing went wrong with the car. He’s great and his wife is as sweet as can be. He knows what he is doing and he’s good at it!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement

Shorty’s got me in quickly, performed a full inspection with my oil change, and helped me easily understand priorities for upcoming maintenance needed on my car so that I won’t be caught off guard when the time comes. This shop is super easy to communicate with and has the customer’s back!Services: Oil change
