Our Kia Sorrento quit on the 210, and my dad suggested towing it to Allison’s since they service his cars. They were all backed up with business, but still took the time to diagnosis the issue. In the end, engine was toast. Sad day for us, but Allison’s was very informative, up front, compassionate, and helpful. Let us keep the car on their yard overnight while we made a plan, and didn’t charge us for their time or storage. Wish I lived closer - they would be my new mechanic, and they should be yours!!

Our Kia Sorrento quit while on the 210 freeway. My dad recommended we tow to Allison's since it was nearby, and they are the mechanic he uses. They were backed up with business, but still took the time to do some diagnostics. In the end, engine was toast. Sad day for us, but Allison's was super helpful, attentive, up front. Allowed us to keep the car at their yard overnight until we made a plan, and in the end didn't even charge us for their time. Wish we lived closer - they would be my new mechanic, and they should be yours!!

My company has worked with Mark for over 20 years and he couldn't be a better guy to deal with. Reliable and very knowledgeable with Fiats.

I finished restoring (mostly) my '76 124 Spider in 2016. Tuned the new Weber carb best I could but it always seemed to run a bit rich leaving the plugs pretty black. Not as peppy as I thought it should be either. Finally had an opportunity to trailer it from Las Vegas to Upland, CA this week and Mark was all set to do a simple re-jet. Turned out the carb had more problems than we expected. Couldn't shut it down with idle screw, float level was off, throttle valves didn't close all the way. I think in the end it actually got bigger jets rather than smaller. When I picked it up and got it out on the freeway I thought it was starving for fuel but after just a few minutes mark found that the condenser mounting screw had loosened on the side of the distributor causing the spark to just stop about 30% of the time. I didn't mean to throw so much at him with this simple re-jet but Mark & Juvy hung in there and now it starts easier and runs like it should. More than happy with the end result.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I just had Allison's do an end-to-end mechanical restoration on my '74 FIAT 124 Spider, with performance upgrades. Engine/trans, brakes, suspension, exhaust, gages, lights, etc. I've had this car for over fifteen years, and it's never run better or with as much power. Mark and his crew really went all out. Great attention to detail, and awesome communication, letting me know what needed to be done now, done later, and done if I wanted to go for extra performance. The drive back from Upland to Altadena was a thirty-five mile ear-to-ear grin. If you need work on your vintage FIAT or Lancia by people who love these cars as much as you do, you can't go wrong with Allison's

After hearing a lot of good things about Allisons, I brought them my '82 Spider for some engine & suspension work. They really went above & beyond, and took care of a laundry list of items for me with top-notch work. Mark has an incredible amount of knowledge & experience with every facet of these cars. Finding a mechanic you can trust is tough, especially with an old Italian car, so I am really thankful to have these guys here in SoCal. Well worth the drive from downtown LA.

If you have a FIAT or Lancia, and are in Southern California, Mark is your guy. If you have a FIAT or Lancia and live further away, yeah you might incur some shipping cost, but Mark is your guy.
