I love this place, Eric has been my mechanic for many years, and I have referred many people to him! An honest mechanic is priceless!

Thank you Eric for taking care of me/​my car! I was extremely pleased with your honestly, service and pricing. As I shared with you, since purchasing my car @ VW Pasadena 10 years ago, I’ve been taking my car to the dealers for service because I didn’t know a good mechanic in the area and didn’t trust anyone. Little did I know, THEY were ripping me off for YEARS!!! And, most recently, they insisted I needed a brake vacuum pump, rear brake pads & rotors costing me over $ 1K! Thanks to my very good long-​time friend Ricardo of 30 years who referred me to you for a second opinion, I learned I didn’t need all those things. I will NOW be coming back to you for sure!

Honest, good value. SO WONDERFUL, Eric has checked out my car multiple times and not charged me because he didn’t really have to do much to check it– I have had crappy places charge me for just driving up, so this was no small deal for me. I would trust Eric’s advice in a heartbeat. Super helpful, patient. You must come here!

I went to this shop because he was recommended by a friend who was getting his car service. The owner, Eric gave me a price quote for getting my break rotors replaced up front. The price included parts and labor and I cross reference with a friend who has experience with car and he said that the price was fair. I am always scared to go to a mechanic since I am a girl and many mechanics will take an arm and a leg or find something else wrong with your car to charge you. He was very nice and even gave me an oil change that I was planning on getting down for free. I am new in town and I am glad to say that I have found a nice and honest mechanic.

I was referred to this place from a friend who has all his car work done here. Eric the owner is as honest a person (not just a mechanic) as I’ve had the pleasure to do business with. I needed rack-​and-​pinion replaced on my truck and every place I’ve called quoted me several hundred more. Eric quoted me over the phone a price for parts and labor and calling him back several days later to schedule an appointment and reconfirm the price I accidentally told him a higher price (I got mixed up with prices after calling other places) and he corrected me with the lower price he originally gave.
I needed a wheel alignment and although he doesn’t do it at the shop, he has a place he goes that does it for a little more than what other places charge but it is good work and he takes it there himself. i agreed to get it done anyways and to my surprise when I got the final bill he charged me $ 25 less for the alignment than what was originally agreed upon! Yeah I know amazing. Also I got an oil change and it was half of what others around are charging. I dropped my truck off at 10am and around 3pm he called to say it was done (I couldn’t believe it I actually thought he was calling to tell me he found additional work that needed to be done as I’ve been conditioned by other mechanics).
I’m so happy to have found such a reliable and trustworthy mechanic who sticks to his word and also when I asked if he found anything else that needed fixing he said everything was fine (usually other places would «recommend» doing other work). There’s nothing more satisfying than driving off knowing your vehicle was in good hands and you supported a small business whose business practice is a dying breed: good customer service, value, and a job well done with a respect for your time. Thank you Eric! As for the steering, it’s as good as the day I drove it off the lot… look ma no hands!

I wanted my first Unilocal review to be of E G Auto even though I haven’t had to use their services in several months since I recently signed a lease on a new Prius. Eric is the best, most honest mechanic I have ever known. E G Auto is more affordable than most shops and I would recommend them to anybody, in fact I have recommended them to several people already. Eric, thanks for all of your good work on my past two cars.

Eric is the best! He is honest and does great work. I received 3 quotes to replace my denali’s fuel tank 1 for $ 695, 2^nd bid $ 450 for part only, Eric replaced it for $ 300 for part and labor! My husband and I only go to Eric!

Eric is a one of a kind mechanic. I felt like he had my best interest in mind when evaluating my car. The service was quick and the price was definitely fair. So happy to have found this shop. This will definitely be my car repair place from now on!

Eric is always honest and fair and will go the extra mile for you.

I have been coming to this shop for about 8 years now And I have never been disappointed. Eric is genuinely honest and will tell you exactly what it is you need and his prices are fair.

Eric at EG Automotive has maintained all my cars since the early 80’s. My current car, 2005 Forester, and the money he has saved me over a dealer is amazing. He answers my questions, and works so hard to save all of his customers money. He takes the time to answer questions. I got a free check-​up from the Glendale Subaru dealer, with an estimate for work of $ 1200. I took the estimate to Eric and it was nonsense, Eric had done most of the work, or the car simply did not need it. He is terrific and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else to service my car.

Awesome n honest!

The owners name is Eric i stopped by to ask him what i needed for my car since i hadn’t done anything to it since i bought it when it had 20k miles which was over two years ago. He said these foreign cars are low maintenance and i wouldn’t need to come to him until i had 60k miles on it! I couldn’t believe it. What an honest mechanic he could have told me my car needed all kinds of things but he didn’t especially now a days when you meet so many that try to take advantage of women who don’t know anything about cars. I highly recommend him since he does service on both domestic and foreign cars and he is a great guy.

The best mechanic, with the best prices. He helped me avoid a lemon when I was looking at a used car. And he has helped me save a lot on repairs over the years. Just a nice guy.

Since my last review in 2009 I’ve been to see Eric a couple more times and he continues to provide excellent services for a fair price. Today’s service included new rear brakes, oil change, air and fuel filter change, and replacing the lower control arm. The parts were more than the labor, something that would never happen at the dealer.

Eric is really one of the best mechanics out there. We (My wife, myself, and about 6 other friends) been using his services for about 7 years now, and Eric has always fixed everything up for very reasonable prices. He is the kind of guy who will tell you on your face whether your vehicle is worth repairing or not, even if it means him not making money on it.
Be prepared to get a dose of reality when dealing with Eric though. He does not believe too much in the niceties a dealer would offer you (and the dealer would also charge you 5 times more than necessary)!

Excelent service, fast, honest assestments and no overpricing.

As a pre-​med student, I’m too busy to wait around for my car to get repaired, and of course, I want to avoid paying a king’s random for it. I’ve been going to Eric for years, and he gets the job done well every single time. Just recently, I took my car in, got it back in time for class, and I saved lots of $$$. I even get my oil changed there. Thanks, Eric!
