“Even for issues unrelated to the smog check, they helped the customer look up information on the DMV website and patiently resolved the problem; their service attitude was excellent, and they are highly recommended.”
“I highly recommend Ray’s MBZ. Ray is honest, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain what’s going on with my car without trying to upsell unnecessary work. I really appreciate having someone I can trust with my Mercedes. The service is professional, straightforward, and reasonably priced. Definitely my go-to place for my car!”
“Hutch and Lisa are always there to serve. They have helped our family for over 9 years with our vehicles. Hutch has done everything from changing a transmission, gaskets, oil changes and sliding doors on our minivan. He keeps our vehicles running smoothly! You can't beat this local family owned business!
Edited: I have been coming here now for over 14 years. They have always taken great care of my vehicles from old used cars to newer cars foreign and domestic. Come here for oil change to transmission to tires. I have also had my windshield repaired and electrical.”
“Always a wonderful experience every time I come here. The employees are so knowledgeable and do all the important checks to help me feel safer when driving. The service is quick but thorough. I have never gone anywhere else and don’t plan to.”

“Abraham is very knowledgeable and up front with pricing including taxes. Diagnostic was timely and repairs were done ahead of scheduled. I have a 15 year old Ford Escape and it’s been running well since I took it to them. I’ll be using them again for my other car.”
“Jim is absolutely the best. I brought in an ‘86 Porsche 944 that was quoted an arm and a leg at other shops; Jim is priced very reasonable but certainly does not skimp on quality. I went in for various engine and chassis work, car drives absolutely perfect thanks to Jim.
Very quick to respond, great integrity, and makes sure the job is done properly. After a large repair I noticed my engine was smoking; it turned out to only be residue from previous leaks during repair. Jim took it in and fixed it complementary as part of the previous repair same day.
If I were in LA long term, I would go to no one else for any repair”
“**Update** emailed Henry and he was able to give me a good price when I went in to get tires recently (8/27/26). They are friendly but I still wish they would tell you how long it would be instead of needing to ask. They got done when they said they would which I appreciate. Make sure to check your valve plugs. They only put them on the front two tires but when I went back in they gave me a new set. 4.4 stars
*old review 11/17/23*
They do NOT honor their appointments. Told us to come in at 9 am and it would take an hour. An hour later they still haven’t started and said the process would take 2 hours. So now it’s going to be a 4 hour process? I think it’s because they already had our money as we were redeeming tire insurance. They put other cars before us that were walk-ins. $$$ America’s Tire across the street was better (we got tires for my car before) but they didn’t happen to have the tires we needed for my wife’s vehicle at the time. I understand places getting backed up but don’t make estimates that aren’t even in the realm of possibility. Also respect current customers that buy the tire insurance. 2 stars”
“We had a difficult situation with my car getting totaled and 4 different tow companies made me wait at least an hour, then said they didn’t have the right equipment and didn’t know anyone who did. As soon as I described what happened to Pierre, he got his crew and came right over. I saw him be an excellent leader, show incredible care for the well-being of his workers, display incredible intelligence and capability, and do it all with a smile. This company was an absolute life saver and they even helped me to get everything out of my car before towing it away. Pierre is amazing and this company is phenomenal. I highly recommend them!”
“My car broke down on the way to work. Luckily, Premium Mechanics is located just down the road from my work. They were able to squeeze me in that morning. Their prices are fair and their work is good. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Pasadena area.”
“Was recommended by my Uncle and my Dodge Challenger car has not had any issues since! Triple AAA recommends them too so you know you’re getting superb thorough work done. I highly recommend them and I’ll refer anyone and everyone to get their car worked on too. Want honest mechanics? Then look no further…thank you San Marino Auto Services for quality work and going over and beyond! They know their cars. Thank you again.

“Martha and Ermen are super sweet. They are caring and the whole team treats me with care. I can tell they have my back ??? I highly recommend this place”
“Whenever I come across an honest and reliable business, I feel it's my duty to the community to share this info. S&A took care of my brake job at the last moment and charged a fair price. I got two other very high estimates, that were ridiculous. Thank you S&A!!!”
“Chris Lovell helped me Friday for my Fleet work vehicle and today for my Mini Cooper.
He was positive, knowledgeable and patient with my questions.
I waited for both of the services and he made sure to keep me in the loop about when they would be completed.
All in all it was a terrific experience and I will be referring and returning.”
“He did not open machine to examine. He washed one towel simply to observe the shaking and imbalance that occurred. He said to replace the spacer mechanism would probably cost around $1,400 which is more than the cost of the washer. After he left we have the same machine with no work done on it and paid $129”
“Brought my own TPMS sensor for my 2023 Tesla and just paid for labor. The technician got it done fast and efficiently — no wasted time, no upselling. Great option if you want to source your own parts and just pay for the install. Highly recommend!”
“I have been coming here for years and years and they do a great job. The Weight is there for sure and you have to wait but it's worth it. The price is 38 bucks for an SUV and they wash it and they clean the inside and they're dry it and do everything and it's good for forever. I have had a detail here and it's a great job but just a basic car wash for 38 boxes a great deal. The coffee is a bit strong, but I like the free cookies, comfortable great Wi-Fi and I guess it'll work done.”
“The best Jiffy Lube in Pasadena! The service was great, the team was attentive, explained everything that they were doing. I highly recommend coming to this Jiffy Lube!”
