Beverly Auto Center

Someone shattered my rear window while I parked on the streets in LA. My insurance recommended this place to me. They did not have the part available so I had to wait a week until my car was ready. How inconvenient, especially when you do not have rental car insurance.
Total cost came up to about $ 1300, thank god for a low deductible. However, my raybans got stolen from the car when I went to pick it up. Also, gone from my car were my new car fragrance and a new roll of trash bags which were in the trunk. I called to complain but guess what the guy said «We have trash bags, the workers wouldn’t need to take it». Right… I guess you can trust your workers who may or may not be illegal immigrants.
They provided me a ride back to my place which was nice, otherwise they wouldn’t even be getting 1 star.

I’ve been going here, my parents have been going here, every car I’ve had I’ve been going here. They may NOT be computerized, but I keep my own records, and I keep my own maintenance schedule based on my car. and everything works out JUST fine. Great guys, great service, great pricing. I think total years is 25+ years here!

Hi, Beverly Auto Melrose has retired but you can go to N T auto in Little Tokyo. They used to work together.

I have spent nearly $ 10,000 on my car, fixing here and there — never got solved. mechanics all over Los Angeles used to over charged just cuz they could! I used to be ripped off big time. Then I found Beverly Auto Center. They are simple honest and do great job. Some douche bag charged me $ 4000 on the same job which ended up failed after a few month. Beverly Auto Center only charged me barely $ 1000 and I’ve got zero issue since then. I was sick of being an ATM machine to wrong mechanics, I am glad to have Beverly Auto Center. THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

I dunno how the guy below gave this place 3 stars since he thinks this place is solid. 3 stars is not solid. I think most Unilocalers would agree that 3 stars is somewhere between «okay» and «meh». It seems they did a good job and he gave them a 3 for not paying the $ 100K year software license for computer access to vehicle history database and also for not being «tuners». Considering the owners have had this shop for 40 years and used to deal with REAL jobs with REAL racing instead of playing Inspector Gadget while being unemployed, I think they deserve more credit.
I’ve been coming here for 10+ years since a good friend told me this was their family mechanic. The place is legit and here’s why I gave them 5 stars:
1. They can be trusted. There’s nothing shady about the people or this place. No lying. No upselling. No slicked hair. No smooth talk. No bull.
2. They aren’t afraid to tell you the truth. (They once told my car smelled like crap but in that ever so polite old school Japanese way.)
3. They give you options. Not payment options but options of repair like how you can have the problem solved. i.e. The cost difference with used parts or new. The pros and cons (not always obvious). The short term vs long term fix. etc.
4. They’re excellent mechanics. They know what they’re doing or can figure it out. They might not have the latest certs or be brand specific training specialized but they can fix your out of warranty car reliably.
5. THEY DON’T CHEAT CUSTOMERS.
6. They won’t steal stuff out of your car. Not your bad mix CDs, sunglasses or the quarters for the meter you got in your ashtray.
7. They don’t nickle and dime. They won’t charge you for things just to make up the cheap quote originally.
8. They’re friendly. I’ve never seen them impolite or mean to a customer or even the feral cats that roam around the place.
9. See #5 again.
10. They won’t mess with your tuning! No recalibrating the crystal meth injectors or the free base exhaust system or any of that nonsense. They won’t repaint your pokemon creature or whatever «Type R» logo or the carbon fiber stickers on your hood and trunk. They respect your tuning skills and the parent’s allowance money that went into it!
Make sure you call ahead. They’re usually busy because they have a solid customer base. It’s not a good place for emergency fixes but it’s one of the only places in that area that can be trusted to fix your car.

Love, love, love Beverly Auto.
I have been going here for as long a I can remember. My father was a customer so they remember me from when I was 5 years old. Now, as an adult they take care of me like no other.
Their prices are right on the money, cheap, but effective.

This is a nice little auto maintenance spot, local to my neighborhood. They do good quality work in a timely fashion for a competitive price. The owner and one of his top mechanics were race engineers for Honda when they still lived in Japan, so suffice it to say that you’ll be in good hands with them.
The reason I didn’t give them higher ratings are the following:
1). They aren’t computerized. Therefore they have no record of what’s been done to our car. They also won’t know what maintenance schedule to follow aside from the general intervals.
2). They aren’t tuner friendly. What I mean is that if you’ve got a car with various tuner mods, they won’t mess with the settings even if you ask them to. But keep in mind, this isn’t a tuner shop and they don’t want to be liable should anything happen. However, installation of basic tuner parts are generally performed if requested (ie suspension, brakes, intake).
For basic maintenance at affordable prices, you can come to these guys. I’ve been doing so for nearly a decade now for both my daily driver and tuner and have had no issues. They’re good people that perform good work.
