If you want to get robbed by a ballpoint pen instead of a gun, come to AJ’s automotive. Didn’t think that spending $10,000 on a new engine would be such a pain, the “mechanics” here found a way. These employees and their .net certificates made my car worse than it was when I had it towed in, and they put in a new engine. Considering going to AJ’s? Push your car off the cliffs of San Pedro and buy a new one, same experience, at least you’ll get a show with the ladder. Beware.Services: Transmission

I took my C3 Corvette to this place and paid $8000+ for 350 sb engine rebuild and some minor upgrades. Throughout the next 30+ days I would be given multiple different approximate dates of completion. Along with excuses about sick mechanics or smaller jobs they wish to finish before working on mine. Effectively pushing forward date that I would get my vehicle back every week I checked in. Approx 30 days later I'm told the car is ready, only to be stranded the very same day, with my car turning off at stop lights, and the newly rebuilt engine overheating. Over the last 4 years of owning this car and taking it to have work done at various shops, this is by far the most unpleasant experience I've encountered.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

I was referred by the mechanic at one of their competitors shops, because they are one of the few shops that service mini coopers. I went in for transmission service and the guys were honest all the way with me. They charged me less than $300, when the dealer was asking $700. My car is supercharged, so I had plenty of concerns. Now my only concern is getting new tires lol. Thank you AJ's.

I support local businesses, but I will NOT ever go back to AJ's. I took my 2004 Camry in for a tune up and after inspection was given an extensive list of repairs needed. I was told 1-2 days. After 2 days, no communication-So I called them & was told they needed another day. Next day-no call. Now my car has to stay there over the weekend, causing me extra expense for other transportation. When I finally get my car back, it's leaking fluid again! I took it back, "repaired"- but 3 months later my power steering fluid is leaking AGAIN!!! I return to AJ's since I was told I have a 1 year warranty only to be told "We didn't change the hose, only the pump and that's gonna cost you to get fixed". They installed a new pump and decided to REUSE the 18 year old hose knowing it wouldn't last and I would need further repairs. BAD SERVICE + POOR ETHICS= No repeat customers.

Top notch service. Had concerns about other parts outside of the job and said just do it if its bad and I'll pay. He determined the job was unnecessary and saved me money.I'm definitely going back in the future.

Overpriced charged $120 for spilled gas cleaning that a place up the street could’ve done way better for $70. I will give it two stars though because they did reduce the smell of gas.

Recently took my 2015 Honda Civic to get my brakes changed and it took 4 hours just to get done. I've come to them before for the same thing and it wasn't as bad. Witnessed entirely too much socializing without work being done. Car was lifted, with workers standing around and nothing being done. I hate saying this, but it was very unprofessional. I truly hope this doesn't continue in the future!

Honest, knowledgeable, fair, and respectful. I found AJ's after reading online reviews like this one. I had just driven Mom's car across the USA through a major winter storm. They looked at my car immediately, explained things clearly, and made the agreed repairs efficiently. I was on my way within hours. Thank you for your honesty, quick work, clarity, and kindness.Service: Steering & suspension repair

Took my truck there in 2019 to get a brand new engine I bought from power train with a new intake manifold. After the overpriced install I've noticed it leeks from everywhere and recently noticed sludge in the oil so with some advice that it could be the pcv valve I go to look for the pcv valve come to find out they didn't install the pcv valve tank that should be there but wasn't so I take it to them and they order a new manifold because it only comes with it and want to charge me to install the pcv valve compartment and return the new manifold as a defect.... shady business

Many businesses can be great on your first visit but often, in my experience, disappoint thereafter. After using AJ’s over the years for different issues (older American car) they have proven to be consistently COMPETENT, HONEST, and FAIR.They had been recommended time after time by locals, leading me to give them a shot at fixing my car of a problem which two other establishments had failed to fix. Someone (forgot name), who must have been a very sharp and experienced mechanic, finally was able to discover the problem and permanently fix it. On top of that, their estimate was the most reasonable that had been offered. Recently, I used them and once again, they were good and honest. They honored replacing a part that had stopped working even though it had been out of warranty, modestly only charging me for the part, not the labor. I did note that the owner Andres runs a tight ship, only keeping the best mechanics, something that I believe has given him the edge over shops. Thanks AJ's !
