I went for a brake light issue. I left my car at 11am and they returned it around 5pm. I asked him to check the brakes too. They charged me $120 for the inspection and they told me I have to pay $375 just for the part. I refused to pay that much for a light change and left. When I got home I noticed that the old light worked fine, it was just unplugged. I had to come back because they left the back of my trunk opened . I also told him the light was working fine so I needed the same light and the back side to put it back. When I got home I noticed he put the light but was unplugged and he also hid

I would not recommend you take your car to City Auto Tech for repairs. I took my car to this shop in June 2021 with report of overheating and coolant reservoir empty. The mechanic who worked on my car name is Mel. I do not believe Mel is an honest mechanic with good workmanship, honest work ethic, or integrity. In June He stated my water pump needed to be replaced and did the job. I also asked that my oil be changed.
About 3 weeks after the work was done by Mel, my check engine light came on and my car engine shut off completely while I was sitting idle at a stop sign, that had never happened

I went to City Auto Tech in August 2021 to talk to the owner Lou and explained the after market part placed in my car and showed It to him and asked him to explain how he thinks this happened and to also talk to his mechanic Mel. Lou was of no help, and stated that if the part was not listed on their invoice from June 2021, then they did not put it there and he stated he doesn't know who put it there and stated his shop wouldn't replace it for free. Lou was not willing to hold his mechanic accountable as it is possible that Mel damaged the original OEM solenoid and tried to cover up his mistake

I popped into this place today in a panic because my tire popped on the freeway and was completely flat. Without hesitation, they took a look at it and once they realized it was not repairable, they put on my spare tire free of charge and very quickly. They made me feel so much better in an extremely stressful situation and I really appreciate it. Trustworthy people!

I went in for an oil change and received absolutely zero pressure to "buy a new this" or "replace that". They made a few recommendations but did an awesome job making me feel like they were just recommendations. I'm going to do my homework on the suggested repairs and I know who I will be dealing with if I choose to move forward with them.

Been going to Lu for some 20 years now. While sometimes I don't like the price he tells me options and lets me know when it is worth repairing or not. We even talked me through my own repair once when it was just sensor. Worked and saved me a bundle. They are not your high end techie shop that will serve your food with your repair and there is a language barrier issue with some of his guys - but he gets the job done and does it right.

Smog tech was friendly but incompetent and nervous about working on my wifes Subaru Impreza. After a wasted hour of my time wasted he claimed he did not work on "performance cars like Ferarris and diesels" because he was unfamiliar with them. After I witnessed him investigate the air conditioning hard plumbing (for a Smog test?!) I knew I was better off taking my business elsewhere. I went around the corner to A&C Auto Clinic and had an amazing experience there.

Nobody knows how to run a car into the ground quite like i do. I'm a procrastinator extraordinaire, and unless my car wont start or is on fire, i generally wont take it in to a shop for anything other than an oil change... Come to think of it, i need one of those too actually.
But i digress.. My brakes were singing me sweet songs for who knows how long because i drive with the windows up and the ipod blasting. Once i noticed them trying to alert me, it wasnt long before little squeaks went to grinding metal on metal... And i swear to god i had a moment where i was coming down a hill, and i

I love City Auto Tech, I always take my cars here, My husband use to be a bus mechanic, so he knows how to (and does) work on our cars. Sometime he just does not feel like it. He will say "call Lou". I am so happy that Lou now has a body shop. He is my one stop guy. The service and the prices are GREAT!!!!!!!!!
