Avo Bagramyan has always been interested in how things work. At a young age he would take apart his family's VCR and put it back together. When he was 14 years old his older brother bought a car and together they would work on it. Avo had a natural ability and decided that fixing cars was his passion.
Here at Avo's Automotive, our ASE Certified technicians are ready to help you with all of your automotive needs. Bumper to bumper we've got you covered. Below is a list of our most popular services. And we know that getting your vehicle repaired is not at the top of everyone's to-do-list but there are times when auto repair becomes necessary especially in Los Angeles.
Whenever you need to have your vehicle inspected come by Avo's Automotive. We take care of our clients from the moment they walk through our door and even after they leave. As a CarFax approved auto repair shop in Downtown Los Angeles we can also provide you with your vehicle's service history which helps us diagnose any issue with your vehicle as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The brakes on your vehicle are the most important safety feature on your vehicle. They not only help you obey basic traffic laws, they continually help you avoid accidents and hazards that can be on the road. While most drivers are concerned with how fast their car can go it is also good to know that you can come to a complete and safe stop should you need to do so.
Every manufacturer puts their own recommendations for service at various mileage markers for your vehicle in the owner's manual. In most cases, these recommendations are based on ideal driving conditions so it is important to keep in mind that extreme heat coupled with long stop and go commutes can easily be considered severe driving conditions.

I came in for a new battery and oil change but Avo found another problem whilst when I brought my car in. The water pump was leaking and dire need of replacing.

I came back the next day, towing in my Chevrolet Equinox that has been unfortunately overheated. Avo told me it was gonna take a day to get fixed and I just got my car back, he has my car up and running again!
Will definitely come back if I need repairs again.

Gave me great advice and referred me to another mechanic that was able to help me even though I didn’t end up using Avo’s services. I will definitely come to him in the future.

Staff is very attentive, I've taken my car to get oil change and it's always fast 20 min wait for so. I never had to wait long and even if they are busy which it always seems like they are the service is great and fast.

Finding an honest, reliable mechanic is extremely hard. Avo is that place. Honest, reliable and super informative. I won't go to another mechanic ever again. Bring your car here. You won't regret it.

These guys will take care of you. If you're looking for a mechanic that's going to tell it like it is, not upsell a thing, and actually tell you how to spend LESS, then this is your shop.

The challenge though is that the world already knows Avo's is awesome, so you should call ahead and try to schedule an appointment before heading in.

I've been looking for an honest mechanic who ALSO knows their stuff. After months of searching, the big man sends me Avo and this team. Really cool staff who don't mind explaining what they worked on.

Was thinking about leaving a negative review to have these guys more available for my cars ; )

I came in with a overheating Toyota Tacoma. Long story short Avo's was able to figure out that the car needed a new head gasket!!!

I just bought this truck too, like, minutes after buying it. A head gasket job is a big job. Avos was able to replace all the parts and document to me what was wrong. Great staff here! I wish they lived closer to where I live so I could make them my primary shop. But I had to use this shop because my car I just bought broke down in downtown LA.

Amazing service and communication across the board!

P.S. it's kinda hard to find the shop, it's next to

Had a bad oil leak in a 98 4Runner project. Took it to Avo. Got it all straightened out. Great work. Takes the time to show you the repair and breaks it down for you visually. Fair prices. Great work. Will recommend.

If your looking for a honest mechanic, this is the place to go. Owner Avo is a master mechanic and is straight forward with what your car needs. No upswell. I came in because I needed my Xterra to pass state emissions test. He checked it out and told me what I would need to fix to make it pass. He gave me an estimate fixed what needed to be done and a week later my Xterra passed and I was a happy camper. I’ve been back for an oil change and i was in and out within 30 min. I will keep going back. And this is from someone driving from Van Nuys to his auto shop.

Avo is a straight up g! He's a legend. Went in today after mechanics have been attempting to scam me all week, only to have the best ever experience with Avo's Automotive. I'm a young female so I know I'm a target for mechanics and so I always approach with caution. Right off the bat, I had a good feeling about Avo's as Avo himself greeted me and started talking with me right away about my Tacoma and the issues I was having. He had me stay as he checked it out and explained everything he was doing step by step. He brought me under the truck after lifting it up and showed

I trust them, and that's hard to say about a lot of body shops.

Avo himself came and rescued me on the side of the road with a quart of coolant when my car wouldn't start.

He found a new brake light on Amazon- sent me the link, I bought it and he installed it for free!! This place is something from somewhere else idk what to tell you

Called in to get my breaks fixed and ended up getting that fixed as well as an oil change
Avo is super sweet and attentive, he also pulled out a dent on the rear of my car that I've been hating forever. Sweet deal, totally recommend

Came in to change out my oil pan due to my amateur mechanical skills. The while process took no more than a few hours, the guys here are extremely friendly and they treat customers like families. I can't think of any other auto shops that is honest, respectful and efficient. If you can read this review, don't bother checking out other places. This is the shop for you. I'm so thankful for this place!! Thanks so much Avo's auto!

P.S I'm a car sticker enthusiast and I have a whole lot on my engine bay cover. I guess they slapped on one more for free!

Truly, don't even think about wasting your time and money anywhere else. My regular mechanic had no clue as to what was wrong with our Nissan and neither did two others when it was playing up on a roadtrip.

A few hours with Avo and well, bad news on the vehicle, but good news on finally locating a mechanical guru with integrity and soul. I may have lost a car but went away with my faith in people reaffirmed and knowing that any car I buy in the future will be very well looked after.

A five star rating for a five star wizard and awesome company.

Great waiting lobby, and I just spent a few min chatting with another customer who told me that her son found this place and have been coming here for many years. I came here to get my tires rotated but also to check them out myself to see if this could be my new home. I just moved to Boyle Heights and needed a mechanic that would be honest with me about my car. I'm on a budget but will always try take care of my car first.

Customer spoke very highly of this place and the owner.
