Auto Repair in Harbor City, CA

“The owner and his staff are very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and always professional. They were very attentive by keeping me informed of the status and progress while repairing my vehicle.”

“Oh where do I begin?
I never would've thought I would be as big of a fan of an auto shop as I have been of Blu for the past.....20 years?!
The owner Luis is amazing and I swear treats my truck like his own.
His entire crew at the shop are awesome.
They have always been communicative, thorough, accurate, patient, and all the things you'd want any business to provide, especially when it comes to maintaining your vehicle.

BRING YOUR VEHICLE TO BLU.

THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT WITH GREAT QUALITY AND INTEGRITY.”

“I have a 2006 GTO that I had an unfortunate motor failure in where the motor was unusable, Ochs Performance royaly messed up an LS7 I bought from them and proceeded not to fix anything, that’s where Jake and Kohle step in, I called them up and talked with them and they said to ship the motor and they’d get it started. So my dad and I made the decision to pack the motor up and drive to California from Maryland to see the place, 3days later we met all the guys at AHP and they couldn’t believe we came all that way lol. But the facility is awesome, the equipment alone speaks volumes on the operation. They ended up building me a 442 CUI LS7 with 24x reluctor, wet sump, so that it was plug and play with my car and I just got the car done and needless to say it’s perfect. I’m forever thankful for Khole and his team for getting me right and making my dream engine swap a reality”

“Pelican Parts has been my go to provider for my 3 old German cars for almost 2 decades! Their product quality is outstanding and consistent! Their website is always helpful and their how-to videos have helped me prepare for every project! I also want to praise their customer service - they're so responsive and well-informed. They clearly are an organizatioh that is well-coordinated and knowledgeable. I have never encountered a clueless, lackluster customer service rep at Pelican. They really seem to care!”

“Best prices around! They installed my Falken Wildpeak tires, transferred all my sensors, balanced everything, and still came in way cheaper than anywhere else. Super friendly, attentive, and fast service—highly recommend!”

“It's so nice to find a car repair shop that provides great service at a reasonable price. After Anto provided me with a bid for repairs to my 2010 Honda Fit Sport, I got 2 other bids and found others would have charged me twice as much as Paul's Auto Repair. Thank you for being ethical and fair!”

“I had a great experience at Silver Star. James and Jesse were incredibly friendly and helpful. The soft top on my 2018 E400 was stuck, and within a few minutes they were able to diagnose the problem. I'm very glad I found these guys and plan to take my and my wife's cars to Silver Star from now on.”

“I have been a customer of Alliance Auto Care for more than 20 years, since when the workshop was in Hermosa Bch. l used to pass by to go to my work, I honked and waited for them to answer me with a goodbye, which always happened. I remember that the car I have until today, a
1999 Toyota Camry, it was thanks to Oscar who found it and took care of it when it was necessary. Ramiro is his team became our friends, they are the best. I would like to see them more often, but it is their fault for doing such a perfect service that I don't need to go back lol. Games aside, I promise to take a very tasty cake for the coffee of my dear friend and his team.”

“Selected this collision repair shop from the list of vendors by my insurance and thank God I did, they did such an amazing job and in a timely manner which I truly appreciate them for doing so. They were always available to answer all my questions had great customer service and I left a very satisfied customer.”

“Ted will take care of you! It’s never fun to have your transmission go out but after 250,000 miles my Toyota transmission quit.

Ted and his team had me rolling down PCH with the top down in under a week with a complete replacement.

Fair price, fast and friendly service! If your transmission needs help you can trust Ted and his team to get you back on the road.”

“After returning from a cross-country trip to the East Coast and back I decided my 2005 car needed new struts and shocks. Especially in the East Coast with all the bumpy roads there it was banging like crazy. Not so bad out here in the west coast where the roads don't get as bumpy and potholed ( because we don't have the cold weather,) but I still wanted to do new struts for preventive maintenance.

So I checked around different places to see how much they would charge me just for labor and Ray came out with a VERY LOW OFFER of $240. I wasn't going to argue with that, so after receiving the struts via eBay I brought them to Ray, and he did them very quickly. He knows all the expert shortcuts.

However, I wonder if he has a memory issue or if this was just something he decided to circumvent. Cuz when I went to pay, the price was now $340. Even at $340 that would still be the lowest price offer. I was actually planning on giving him a nice tip but since he jacked it up $100 I decided to pay that price without arguing.

I also asked him to let me know if he saw anything underneath that I should be concerned about. He didn't have any suggestions after the job was done and after taking it for a test drive. It was actually Ray's grandson who gave me a subtle tip about changing my tires. The grandson must have noticed my two tires on the passenger side were getting bad. I had not noticed it because the wear and tear was on the inside that you wouldn't see unless you got underneath a little bit.

I had noticed the weird wonkiness and vibrations & wasn't sure what that was all about. The new struts and shocks helped it a little bit, but it was still vibrating & getting worse. So after leaving there a few days later I had other things checked out elsewhere and then I noticed how bad the two tires were. I appreciate the grandson's advice.

But why didn't Ray give me a STRAIGHT HEADS-UP about that ? He must have felt it when he took a test drive as well. When I saw the tires especially after they had been taken off, anybody would know these were REALLY BAD. And since he was underneath, I would assume he would have noticed that, especially if the grandson had as well.

I'm not too proud to admit I need all the help I can get when it comes to auto repair. I'm the first one to admit that I learned a lot in college that has NO PRACTICAL VALUE for everyday life. And my dad being of the same ilk, was NEVER able to teach me anything practical. I was never taught anything about anything practical growing up, and I just keep learning little by little as I as I go.

Otherwise, mostly good experiences with Ray ?”

“Came in to have my wheel sensors transferred to another set. Called in for a quote. I agreed on the quote. By far the most competitive pricing I've received. Went in, had them transfer the TPM sensors in about 45-1 hour. Left Rivera's as a happy customer. Will definitely consider them for other automotive services/repairs in the future”

“Starting from the Receptionist, Monica, I was comfortable with talking to her. She's professional and kept me informed. Naz, the owner was so very nice, polite, and I will be referring friends and family to his business. Clay the painter, who fixed my car, did an excellent job in matching the paint. Thank you very much Clay for Outstanding work. I appreciate all of you. Thank you again.”

“Solid work done! Honest assessment of what was needed for my old Dodge Ram 2500 and I'm impressed mightily by the high level of competence, knowledge, and expertise demonstrated! You want the best for your vehicle and you will find it here! Highly recommend!!!Services: Wheel alignment”

“Whatever you need for you vehicle, this is the spot to go. The mechanics here get the job done and for good prices. Good customer service and timely repairs. Couldn't ask for more.”

“Great place to have your car serviced. Gene is very knowledgeable and helpful! He exclusively uses only the real original parts. No cheap aftermarket stuff here.

I had my car completly serviced there. He did a great job! Runs like a brand new car.

While I was there I watched Gene rebuild a 5.0 Ford engine and

I would highly recommend him!”

“Les did my first driveshaft in 1990. Yesterday, 30 years later He is still my “go to” guy. Building custom and antique cars requires dependable craftsmanship. Nothing is worse than having an amateur ruin a rare part. Les is a true pro, and he is prompt and very reasonably priced, and a nice guy to boot. Of course I will be back for another one.”

“Got my front bumper reattached here for $60 when another shop quoted me $470… they did great and they even removed a dent in my hood without me asking! Great service and fair pricing.Service: Body & Trim”

“Ruben and now his son have been servicing / repairing our Porsches for as far as I can remember. They have our full confidence that the work is done right. We always know we are never getting 'ripped off'. That's how much we trust them.
He never tries to upsell and often will only offer service/repair that is appropriate.
The most 'difficult' part with Everyones Garage is getting a service appointment, they are always so busy. Why, it's because everyone wants to work with them.
Thank you Ruben!”

“Nader at Jim’s auto sales helped me allocate two rare optioned vettes and just picked up a 2017 raptor a few days ago I’m very happy with. Highly recommend this place, selection is impressive and customer service was excellent!”

“I originally went to Gustafo with my 1995 VW Golf City. I had an oil leak. I had gone to a local Arco station with no results. I went to a Mercedes expert with no results. I even took it to the VW dealer in Santa Monica where I bought it, with no results. Finally I took it to Gustafo. HE FIXED MY OIL LEAK! I used the car for many more years. I took my wife's Saturn and later my Buick Park Avenue, and my daughter's Malibu. Now my wife and I both have Priuses and he takes care of all general needs. Over the years I have seen European, Japanese, American and other cars at his place. Don't let looks deceive you. This IS the place the place to maintain your car! And the place your impossible to repair car WILL get fixed!”

“This shop is always really busy and all I needed was a transmission fluid and filter exchange, so I was really happy when Andres told me to come right at 8am and he would take care of me. I already had the filter, fluid and gasket, so he quoted me an extremely reasonable $75 for the labor. Neither of us knew that the previous owner sealed the tray with silicone instead of using a gasket, which cause a LOT more work to clean up, but when he was done, I saw that it looked brand new. Andres was quick, clean, efficient, and didn't charge a dime more despite the extra amount of work. Oh yeah, super nice to boot. I'll definitely be going back to him for service.”

“Good service. Fast. In and out. No problems. A bit pricey but that is expected in this economy. I didn’t get the sticker in the corner of the windshield to remind when the next oil change is due is my only complaint.”
