Our mechanic shop has been in business for 20 years. We are a small auto repair shop that is family owned. The reason our customers are loyal to us is because we have a passion for serving our community, and we show that in our work ethic. Although Los Angeles has one of the biggest metro areas, we provide that small-town friendliness that is hard to find at a mechanic shop in crowded cities.
Hector's Auto Repair provides an exceptional quality of auto repair services to our customers living in the areas in and around Los Angeles. We ensure that each member of our team is providing the level of quality that you expect and deserve. The foundation of our company is based on the guiding principle of honesty with our customers.
Unless your vehicle requires premium gasoline, filling up your vehicle with high-octane gas is a waste of money. The premium gas doesn't boost your gas mileage or performance. If you're not sure what grade works best for your vehicle, your owner's manual will tell you. You can also ask your mechanic what grade to use.
Acura offers an appealing mix of performance, technology, and value with its street-performance-oriented RDX compact crossover, the TSX wagon, and the ZDX, a fastback-styled crossover. These models join the popular RL luxury sedan, the midsize TL sedan, and the entry-level TSX sport sedan in Acura's lineup.
Based in Germany, Audi builds prestigious cars and SUVs that combine luxury and sport. In recent years, the A4, A6, and A8 models have been joined by the TT sport coupe and roadster, the A3 hatchback, the Q5 crossover SUV, the A5 coupe, the R8 sports car, and the A7 luxury hatchback sedan. At Hectors Auto Repair, our technicians have the skill and experience to work on all Audi models.

No one likes to hear their car make a funny sound, and no one likes having to take their car to the shop. I will say that Hector's auto made the whole experience as quick and painless as possible. I really appreciated the time Quan took to explain what was going on with my car and to answer all of my questions. Great customer service all around. Will definitely come back here again!

Hector's Auto has been there for me a lot over the past year and a half since I graduated college. Quan and his team are top notch with communication, keeping you in the loop with what's going down, and explaining what needs to be done without trying to upsell you on anything. Also, I get $30 dollar oil changes here that are quick and last me 8,000 miles or so on my Honda Fit.

I love this place because I truly trust the mechanics. They always do only the work the car needs at an amazing price. They explain everything to you in a way you will understand and make sure you know exactly what you're paying here, which I really appreciate as a girl who knows very little about cars. I highly recommend this place!!

Quan and his team were super helpful and friendly! I came in with a weird humming noise concern, and Quan test drove the car with me to narrow down the symptoms. He was very knowledgeable and up front with the pricing for the repair! Also really nice of him to show me how to tell which wheel was having the issue by spinning each of the wheels on the lift. The repair was done promptly and the car sounds great now!! Thanks guys!

I had ordered the bacon, avocado with cherry pepper relish. At the Palo Alto place the relish was the best part but this place skimps and adds a bit of the relish to a mayo sauce having it slightly resemble thousand island dressing. So not the same stuff!

As a young woman who's on a budget and knows nothing about cars, it's really hard to find a trustworthy place. Which is exactly why I love this place so much. I feel like I can trust them with my car as well as my life. They are truly amazing!

These guys are the sweetest mechanics. All of them have helped me with my troublesome blue beetle!! The first day i went in, my car hadn't passed smog and desperate to fix it i googled some local auto body repair shops and this one was the closest, so i stopped by and within minutes they told me what i need, how much it would be and how long it would take. Since then i've only taken my car to them. Oscar is amazing! I definietly recommend this auto shop.

Got right in for the cheapest and fastest oil change I've ever had. Customer service was great, too! Very friendly staff. Who would have thought getting an oil change would make my day? :) Deserves 4 stars.

I’ve been taking the used car I got to Hectors Auto Shop since I purchased it last April. I needed tune ups, parts replaced, basically everything! And they knew how to fix everything! Now my car is in way better shape then it was when I first bought it. Hector’s auto shop is my #1 go-to for all of my car needs and it should be yours too! They don’t disappoint!

The owner Hector will make a point to let his customers know about all his certificates on his wall so questioning his work is out of the question. As a female client he was rude and arrogant when I would question what was being done to my vehicle which was annoying because I will see how different he was with male customers with more detail explanation since he couldn't fake an explanation for someone who knows about cars. I couldn't wait to leave the nightmare of service which cost 3x more than what I was expected to pay. Never ever will I bring my vehicle or recommend his shop. He

I love Hectors Auto! Finding a good mechanic is like finding the love of your life. I have gotten my throttle body, my intake manifold and my water pump replaced with Hectors on three different occasions. They provide fast and informative diagnostics.

Hectors has all types of certifications for auto repair displayed on the wall. He is realistic when advising about repairs and they offer financing thru a third party lender which is amazing for those unexpected repairs.

Thank you Hectors auto for providing me peace of mind when seeking auto repairs!

Yesterday I took my 2008 528i bmw there to get checked out because it was leaking coolant real bad. The lady called me back and told me that is was going to be a total of 1100 dollars. She also mention I was going to need a thermostat...which I just replace last April along with the water pump. At the bottom is a list of things that he said I needed. I took it to another shop and he said I did need the reservoir tank and the top radiator hose. With labor I paid $365.00. This place is scamming ppl.

Maybe I called at a bad time. It IS retrograde after all. When I called in I stated the make and model of my car, and described very briefly what my car was doing. The guy cuts me off and blurts out "WE WOULD NEED TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC." I said "I understand that, I just had two questions regarding that. One, how much is the diagnostic, and two-" He cuts me off again and says "It's $100" I said ok, when I talked to my dad he said it may be the transmission or may be the catalytic converter. What's the estimated price for each of those so I know what costs I

I would recommend to anyone, took my car to get check for my SRS light, Hector check out my car and was very honest with me he could of repaired my car and charge me lot of money but instead he told me my repairs where still cover under my original guarantee and he didn't even charge me a dime. Awesome costumer service.

I typically am on Yelp to post reviews about food or food places to avoid, but this time, I had to thank Hector Sr. and Hector Jr. for the professional manner of replacing my transmission (At an amazing price, nonetheless).

I became aware of the business because my friend had actually suggested coming here at getting a quote for a new transmission for my Kia. I was in dire need of the transmission, and had nearly been "jipped" by another mechanic shop, telling me I need to be paying $1,900 for a transmission; how come, I call this place and was promptly and professionally, made aware

I dealt with the owner and the Jr. and don't regret bringing my business over to this shop. I had been bamboozled before so I needed a shop where I could actually see the repairs that were done on my car and where the old part was at too. It is real hard to find trustworthy mechanics in LA, but needless to say these folks have earned my five stars. I referred my brother too and they fixed his Volvo.

Worst place I've EVER taken my truck I would HIGHLY recommend you steer clear. If I could give zero stars, I would. I was getting a replacement, refurbished part which they bought from a third party. When the part failed, they refused to even look at my truck without charging me over $100. They offered zero assistance for tow, which is understandable, but how rude they were in combination with refusal to even inspect that the part was not faulty was absolutely bad business. I ended up getting a replacement part from the third party. Thankfully they were MUCH more accommodating. Please
