“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.”

“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.”

“By a long shot the best customer service I ever received from a company. Kohle answered every single email with not only a response but an explanation. He gave my concerns his time and attention. I will be a returning customer and will recommend his company. Parts showed up well packaged and worked great. Was missing an item as my order was large and after a quick email that part was just about over nighted to me. Appreciate all the work and time from this place. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“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 ?”

“I have my Lexus serviced for years at LexService and I am soooo grateful that I found an honest owner, Steve, and assistant, Paul, to accommodate the needs of my car. They do not force on any unnecessary work, and the charges are very affordable. I highly recommend for you to drive your car to the facility for work that is needed for repairs and/or maintenance.”

“Wow, thank you so much Paul! You made the process of getting our VW Atlas Crossport repaired quick and easy! We were referred to Caliber by our insurance company (AAA) when someone rear-ended me. I was so bummed because it was a brand new 2024 vehicle, just purchased in April and the accident was in May. It only took 2 weeks to get the car back completely repaired. It looks brand new again and everyone was very nice. Thanks again.”

“With the rain I unfortunately hit a deep pothole and my tire completely busted. It was late night and I drove from Hawthorne to Harbor City and these guys were open. They helped me once before, also drove from Hawthorne because the service was impecable. I did call before going to make sure they had the tires I needed and decided to get 2 brand new ones instead of a used one for the one that busted. I'll go back if I have any more needs and I recommend them to anyone in the area.”

“I love this place! Honest, knowledgeable, friendly, great work/service and decent prices. If that doesn't get you to come in, I don't know what will. I brought my SRX in for a charging problem that other mechanics couldn't figure out. Juan figured it out and fixed it in one day. Two years later, and multiple other fixes (I mean, it's a Cadillac, right?), this is still my first choice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”

“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!”

“These guys are the real deal. I had a steering issue with my lifted Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. They immediately identified a possible cause, replaced the Pittman arm, and problem is no longer an issue. Andrew is a super nice guy and they are very fair on pricing. I would strongly recommend them for 4X4 and off road rigs. Thanks Guys!”

“Had a flat tire and needed it changed. Ended up needing two tires
changed because another tire had a bulge in the inner sidewall. Would not have noticed if it weren't for these guys checking all four tires.

First time here and it was fast, affordable, & great service overall. Very nice and honest guys. Was in and out in about 20 minutes.

Will definitely be coming here from now on. Thank you for great customer 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.”
