I've been a loyal customer here for many years, and my whole family brings their cars as well. Tony is truly the best mechanic — honest, reliable, and always fair with his pricing. No matter what the issue is, he takes the time to figure it out and fix it the right way. It's rare to find someone you can completely trust with your car, but Tony has earned that trust time and time again. I highly recommend him and this shop to anyone looking for excellent, dependable service. Thank you, Tony, for always taking such great care of me!

Amazing work. He is very reasonable when it comes to cost. Always informs you and lets you understand what diagnostics were done and what can be done to correct the issue/s. Everyone is respectful and very patient. They are dedicated to doing a great job every time I come here. I've recommended friends and family to go get their car serviced because ain't nothing like quality work for your money. Thank you everyone!

Took my car to S&A after I began to hear rattling noises and Tony was friendly over the phone and in person. He checked out my car and then took the time to point out and explain the possible issues. The AC compressor was bad and they took out the faulty part with my permission. I liked that they left it in my car because that shows they're not keeping and putting faulty parts into other people's cars to scam them into getting unnecessary work done. The other gentleman that helped me, whose name I didn't get, was very nice too. I would definitely recommend these guys.

These guys are auto GENIUSES ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tony knows exactly what the problem is as soon as he eyeballs the car 🤣🤣🤣 the fact that these guys are in business is a serious THREAT to every other mechanic autoshop! They are reasonable, helpful and understanding! Ever since he fixed my car I will literally never go anywhere else!

In Southern California, finding a great mechanic is like striking gold — and Tony and his team are the motherlode! They aren't just good; they're amazing.

Tony knows cars inside out and is completely honest. No games, no upsells, just straight-up advice and quality work. In LA, that kind of integrity is rare.

My only regret is not finding him years ago. Would've saved me enough to buy a new set of wheels! 😭

Amazing service! Tony is great with communication and being very thorough with the process of my vehicle, and pricing is very reasonable. I have brought my vehicle twice and both times have been a great experience. My car is in great hands with Tony and his staff. Highly recommend to family and friends. Thanks Tony!
