This review is 12 years overdue! When I first moved to LA, I had a rusty car from the East coast that was literally as old as I was. It was on its last legs, and Jimmy always made repairs at a fair price. But one visit, Jimmy told me, "Let it go." He somehow knew the car was sentimental to me, and I was hanging on to it as long as I could, but it hard reached its end. The point of this story is that Jimmy is an honest mechanic, and won't charge you for unnecessary fixes or hustle you into something you don't need.Jimmy is kind, fair, and gives helpful tips. I always enjoy my visits. He fixes things quickly, and the shop is just a couple of blocks away from Sunset in Sliverlake, so you can easy go grab coffee/tea/food while waiting.Thank you, Jimmy! :)

Jimmy has been my mechanic for almost 15 years now. He is a friendly, honest, and skilled mechanic. He's kept my Ford, Subaru and now Honda Odyssey running well past 200k.

Jimmy is a good and honest guy. He isn't the closest to where I live but was near my work when I needed him. If I had another car issue at work, I'd come back to jim.

Jimmy remembered me from many years ago, even though that was a different car. He immediately assessed what was wrong, and gave us a price on the spot (which was MUCH lower than the dealer, but also really fair.) He is cheerful and seems to love his work, we got the car one business day later with a major repair completed! Trust and honesty is the way to go. Use Pacific Auto Service.

Jimmy is the man! You want an honest, competent mechanic who will fix your car and make you smile then look no further, this is your shop! Jimmy saved us $900 that another shop quoted us for a broken fuel pump. It was not in fact the fuel pump and it and it was a much simpler and less expensive fix. We are extremely grateful! Thank you

I was a long time customer (8 years) of Jimmy"s at Pacific Auto.He provides fast service for a reasonable price.However; he works too fast and does NOT CHECK HIS WORK.He replaced the rear axles on my car and when it came back there was a clunk in the rear end upon acceleration. He wasn't sure but he thought it was the differential. I limped it to a suspension specialist, we put it on the lift and it was IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS that he had NOT tightened the bolts from the drive shaft to the universal joint at the rear axle. Completely loose, as in a 1/4" of exposed thread between the nut and the u joint. So much space that it cluncked when accelerating. If I had stepped on it, on the highway I would have snapped the bolts and who knows what would have happened.He also put the lift thru the floor board on the driver's side and didn't notice and didn't tell me. He repaired an electrical issue only to find out a few days later that none of my notification chimes work, headlights on, seat belts, key in the ignition, etc. So, for basic repairs, A/C, electrical issues, lube job, things that will not impact your safety yah, you should be able to trust him BUT for anything safety related RUN AWAY, FAR AWAY

Jimmy is the Best! It's a bit better when you know just a little about cars so you can communicate the issue and Jimmy and respond with the solution.

Attention! PLEASE check all bolts and nuts in the area that he worked on your car. HE DOESN'T TIGHT BOLTS AND NUTS!!!He used to be a nice guy. But recently he started just charging money for nothing. He will give you back your car and say that its fine, however problem will be still there.

Excellent service from a very nice man. Car trouble is highly stressful for me but Jimmy immediately put me at ease. I was worried and pressed for time with relatives due and he took care of my car quickly and without undue expense. He is near my house and I'm so grateful to have found him.

It 2022 and I'm still driving my 2006 Honda CRV. Should I get a new car? Probably - but Jimmy is keeping this thing alive and it still run great. He replaced the AC in June (2.5 months ago) and it went out last week. I figured "great.. new AC already busted? What's this gonna cost.." Well it cost $0. Jimmy took a look, realized two fuses had blown, and replaced them for free. If you've got car problems, talk to Jimmy.

I've been taking my cars to Jimmy for 20 years now. He always gives me a real explanation of repairs needed, and he has always had my car back in 24 hours at what seems like a reasonable price. Anyone that leaves reviews saying Jimmy is rude must understand that he's doing all the mechanic work by himself, and some times when I stop by I can tell he's got a big backlog of cars to fix, so I ask him what time is best for him to bring my car back. So, if you do bring your car in, expect to have to set an appointment. Jimmy just doesn't have the parking for too many cars at one time, so expect to be flexible with him, and he will fix your car timely and reasonably priced.Services: Check engine light diagnostic
