I want to say THANK you to Sean. Brought my Panamera to see what the issue was regarding the check engine light and he was very honest and efficient from the very beginning. He worked on my vehicle promptly and fixed the issue. At the same time I brought my Jeep to get an oil change and asked about my brake lights being out and he replaced all the light bulbs through my entire vehicle. I definitely recommend SB automotive for any of your vehicle needs.

I first came here in 2013. Rather than sing a song, I wanted to express my gratitude for finding an auto repair and maintenance shop I can trust.

Brian has been servicing our cars for some time now and he always gives a great service. had my girlfriend's car get quoted for a new coolant pump at the dealer for about double the price turns out she didn't need everything. Brian and his team figured out the problem and fixed what was needed. that gives you confidence they aren't ripping you off!

Amazing and honest business. I came in for consultation and bit of work on my car. Everything was done smoothly, no hidden charges, any additional work was discussed without pinning me on corner, like other places 'if u dont get this done for extra 300, you are will not be ready this afternoon'. I recommend 1000%.

My check engine light had come on Monday, on my 2017 VW Jetta. Called SB Tuesday morning dropped my car off at 11:30 am and it was ready that afternoon and runs a lot better. I will no longer be taking my car to the dealer as the issue that was happening could have been avoided when I got my car serviced last time.

My car overheated on the 5 freeway and after being able to successfully pull over, I had it towed to SB Automotive. They were so nice and started the work immediately. After a few hours, my car was ready! I met with Sean, who couldn't have been nicer! They even gave my car a car wash. I will recommend this place to anyone in the area. Top notch service and a good price!

This place rocks! First of all, communication was key. I requested a quote on Yelp and Brian got back to me immediately. He helped me right away and set an appointment for their next available date.
Customer service was great the day of and I even received my Jeep before the time estimated. I'm definitely going to come here from now on Thanks Brian!

The people at SB Automotive are top notch. They are up front and honest about everything. We have taken a few cars here over the years and travel over an hour to do so still because we know we can trust them. Excellent work, done on time, and very reasonable prices. Can't beat this combination of value anywhere else. We will keep coming back!

Excellent service and honest workers. I have had Sean and Brian service my cars (Civic, Corolla) for 10 yrs - installing a new transmission filter, alternator, starter, engine mounts, drive belts, battery, brakes, and lower control arm. I keep coming back because they take their time to make sure that the job is done right.
Due to them being a small shop an appointment is greatly recommended. In short no cuts.
If you want honesty and reliable people working on your car, go to these guys.

Best service, Brian is amazing and honest !!!! I would highly recommend this place 100%. It very difficult to find an honest mechanic and luckily here is one, you won't regret it!!! They even washed his car out of courtesy, checked everything I asked him to check and kept me informed the entire time. Very reasonable and worth it. Thank you Brian, your awesome!!!!!

I want to personally Thank Sean, I went in today since my car was making a noise from one of my wheels and being a Lyft Driver I need to make sure my car is in great conditions for my customers but more importantly keep them safe, Sean was awesome even though they are by appointment only he took the time to inspect my car and diagnose it, he then exceeded my expectations by actually taking the time to fix the problem and not make go back another day since I didn't have an appointment, Sean was very friendly and actually everyone else their seem very approachable which made me feel very comfortable

Ever since moving to Downey it's been hard to find a trust worthy auto shop until now. I brought my car in cause it was making an unusual noise, thinking it was the brakes. But after having Ada and her people look at my car turns out to be my engine, and they were up front with me...they pretty much told me that they could TRY to repair my car but it may not fix the problem in fact it might make things worse and they didn't want to take my money.
Like how often do you hear that now and days from a shop owner/mechanic? I was thrown back by their honestly. And after getting a second opinion

Ford Focus steering wheel hard to turn.
Read reviews on Yelp of SB. Took Focus here. Staff said it was power steering unit. Ok"d to fix/repair. $295. Two weeks later steering wheel is hard to turn. Take it back staff said it was the power steering fluid line. Ok d to repair. Approx $200 +...Two months later..
Steering wheel hard to turn. Let the car sit only moving occasionally. Won't ever take any car here to SB ever again. Had my friend fix it who is a mechanic. Cost me $100 labor that's all.
Car has worked ever since. Runs like brand new per my friends work!

Was looking around for someone to take a look at my mom's car - and saw this place on Yelp with 4.5+ stars so I thought I'd give it a try!
To my surprise I was greeted and taken in right away! The cost for the repairs was fair and even lower than most of the other places I had visited and called!
The best part was that the turn around time was incredible! Who wants to go even a day without a car? Thank you!!!
I think I've found my shop! No more shopping for me! 5STARS!

Came in for a smog on my car, Sean wrong me up and Carlos was the tech.
When I first came in they helped me out right away with very welcoming vibes.
Had some basic questions about my car and Carlos took the time to explain everything.
Price was competitive to other nearby shops.
Highly recommended and will be coming back again.

I needed a simple oil change for my car, and that's exactly what I got.
I called a day ahead to make an appointment, when I brought it in Brian greeted me and pretty much knew what I was there for. No hassle!
The best part about my visit, They didn't try to sell me anything else unlike other places (Transmission fluid, engine flush, tire rotation, blah blah)
Overall I'll definitely come back for a diagnostic test, check engine light is on
