In 1978, Paul and his wife Cheryl opened their first retail automotive repair business at in San Gabriel.
One of the ways Paul Brow stays ahead of other automotive repair and maintenance shops is his attending a variety of advanced automotive events. At All Car we also believe in the importance of giving back to the community.

Very knowledgeable mechanics. The only thing that caught me off guard was the cost. I was quoted $67.50 to do a Evap smoke test, but when I went in I was told $150.00. It was a bit high for what was done, however the quality of work was great.

Found this place through my Triple A. Great service. Ask for George, he's super friendly and did a good job at breaking down the costs and problems with the car for me. Fixed the problems pretty quick and did a good job communicating through the process.

Congratulations on my 1st 1-star review of 2021.

Requested only an alternator change because the car was having start-up issues.

A technician took my car for a JOY RIDE and SCRATCHED my brand new passenger side front wheel.

The impact was so hard it took a large chunk out of the wheel. About 5 times larger than a typical curb rash.

Their solution was to cheaply repair my wheel instead of a replacement.

I agreed to the mickey mouse solution thinking it was the quickest (time-wise) as I no longer wanted to deal with a shop that didn't want to take full responsibility for their issues

I recommend this place. It's a neighborhood and community business. AAA discount and family owned. Friendly staff. I was referred by a family member who was a longtime customer and friend. I'm referring family and friends now.

Jorge helped me out with my 2007 Lexus. Fantastic service, kept me posted on updates throughout the whole service period. Went in to check out a battery issue we were having and they found that we had a leak in our radiator hose. Only recommended that we take care of it before summer but didn’t push us to get it done there. Ended up getting it done there, fantastic service and customer care. Will be coming back here if I have any issues on any of my vehicles in the future!

For Starters, I own a 2012 Honda Accord Coupe, with leaky mess. I had rodents chew my fuel lines that caused all sorts of fuel related problems. Such as leaking fuel at the gas station, fuel vapors leaking and above all horror MPG. 18 gallons tank that gives me about 230 Miles... Roughly about 12 miles per gallon (OUCH!). I gave my insurance a call and proceeded to inform them about my troubles and stated that they will cover the damage and if I had any suggestion for a repair shop, at that moment in time I did not, but will be searching for one. Upon my search I came across All Car Specialists

I was going to a great car repair facility for almost 40 years when I found out they were going out of business. Fortunately, the owners told me about All Car Specialists. When your mechanic recommends another facility, you know they must be good! From the time I arrived until the time my car was ready (about 20 to 30 minutes), I was treated like I was one of their longtime customers when in fact it was my very first visit. Jorge, the service manager, greeted me in the waiting area and introduced me to the office staff. The owner, Paul, performed the smog check I needed to renew my license tab

Visited this place today. Needed a quick rear brake light. They were busy on a Monday and told me the wait would be one hour. I needed it done today so I agreed to wait and was quoted. Well the great news is that they took care of me in 30 minutes and at a significant lower cost than quoted. Also the customer service and friendliness was super consistent. A very good first experience, I will be back. Thanks to gentleman who helped me around 3pm

Could not be more impressed with Paul and his team! Came here because Kerechuk shut down and Billy used to work here.
I was impressed with Paul and his professionalism and I’m ecstatic with the work they did on my 2009 Honda Ridgeline. Fair prices and a great business! Going to recommend All Car Specialists to all my friends. They definitely have a new customer for life!

Paul and his team at All Car Specialists were nothing short of professional. Paul was very thorough in his explanation of what he would be doing before the work started. There were no surprises or additional charges that hadn’t been previously discussed, which I greatly appreciated. The work was done in a timely manner. He did point out small items that I should be aware of that could be addressed in the future, which I found to be very helpful! Good to know I need to keep these things on my radar. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received and I would highly recommend. The whole experience

This place is a scam... I will never come here again. They wanted to over charge for everything and even charged me to just look at my car which I regret even signing the paper for. It's a huge scam please save your time. My mistake I came there because it was recommended to me by a teacher and I trusted him but I don't trust this place or anything they say. They will mis diagnose your car for their profit. Do not come here for anything. Save your money and your time. All that will happen is they will invent problems that don't exist on your car so they can make money.

My check engine light was on and I didn’t know why. A close friend suggested that I take it to All Car Specialists since he had a good experience there.
I instantly felt welcomed. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. They offer a 5 mile ride service so I was able to leave my car there so they could throughly look for the issue. Within just a few hours they called me with the report and had the issue fixed that same day.
I will be returning to All Car for my future car needs.

I asked AAA to tow my car to this place. And they started working on my car the next morning after I left my keys and messages to them the night before. Ron is really helpful, and although there was a minor setback when they found out they couldn't give me my car back on time as they promised, they helped me with a free rental car for one day. The price is reasonable considering most other auto shops charge similar for the labors.
It is a great auto shop in the area.

This place over charges you and doesn't make any promises about fixing your car. I made an appointment and asked on the phone if they charge to diagnose my car and she said no. When i got there, waited 30 minutes after my appointment, to find out they charge $125 just to diagnose it AND i would have to leave the car overnight and they won't tell me the problem till tomorrow morning. i was there at 2pm and they don't close till 5:30. Hated the service and will he returning.

So appreciate having a locally owned business that is not only honest but does excellent work. They have been taking care of my car for a number of years and I have always been happy not only with their work, but their attitude - everyone I have dealt with over the years has been helpful and provides service with a smile!
