After dealing with only the dealership for my Chevy Malibu, I was skeptical about finding a new place to take my car. However, I'm glad I did! I had a wonderful experience from the start. Maria was incredibly personable and helpful when I first reached out to inquire about services and throughout the process. Hector was also very friendly and professional. It's refreshing to work with a company that communicates so effectively with their customers. Definitely recommend!
My son found Hector's Auto Repair through the internet, I normally take my car to the chrysler dealer, but as anyone knows those prices at the dealer has sky rocketed, and the wait time is crazy, I called Hector's and explained t he problem and they assured me they could do the work, come to find out not all mechanics can correctly fix an EVAC system, but Hector's can. From the receptionist to the mechanics everyone was very welcoming. Knowledgeable and friendly, this shop is fast, and very reasonable. I would definitely recommend Hector's Auto Repair 100%.
Hi guys, had our Escalade full service Hectors technicians went out of there way so we could have it ready take off to Texas, And when I say out of there way I mean it, they actually gave me a ride back home, I couldn't ask for more reasonable price quality service Hector treats his customers with respect and honesty, looking forward to our next service Keep up the good work guy's God bless 🙏
I have used the dealership auto repair department mechinical problems with my cars. I paid thousands for the simplist thing repaired, and in the end was totally dissatisfied and I felt like I was scammed. But since I found Hector's Auto Repair I am finally ok with the work done on my cars and I personally am satisfied with how my cars are running, and how I was treated. I will recommend others to Hector.
Brought my 2016 dodge challenger and I was so impressed on how friendly the staff was. The Price to fix my car was great and they had it ready within two days. Highly recommend and will be coming again.
The environment is very welcoming, and the hospitality excellent. Their professionalism and willingness to to help you with your issues to keep you safe on the road. It feels like you are visiting an old friend who you trust with your car.👍😇
Very affordable system diagnosis. Was able to fix issue while at work. Very personable. Clean and professional. Fair price. Ask for Maria. She’s great. Easy location for Uber to find you if you. Near Florence and 71st Street.
Took care of my auto needs in a timely manner. Have used them before and their fair with the cost & repairs. Would definitely recommend them, plus they are in my neighborhood so I didn't have to have my car towed.
very helpful knowledgeable of work that needed to be done
Made it happen for me an I appreciate the shop they did good work!!
A good place, friendly people and good work, recommended
I would recommend going there

My Subaru needed a wheel bearing replacement, they got the job done within an hour of receiving my car, they are fast and are great at what they do, thank you Maria at front desk for your professional and friendly customer service, very dependable and great help when needed, she s the BEST!
They did a very good job and they was very hospitable and I would definitely refer a friend they get a five star from me .

All good
Very helpful and considerate.
Fair, convenient and quick.
My maintenance light was coming on. I got in and was helped right away. I was in and out in about 30 minutes.very clean shop and the staff was all very professional and friendly. I will definitely make this my new shop!
Excellent quick and friendly customer service. Fair prices.
Nice staff and quick service reasonable prices
Thank you for your great service!
Great service all around. Very professional and have industry knowledge.
Prices are more except able than the dealer
I like how quick the device was for my oil change. It took less than 30 mins. The lady at the front took care of me and was really attentive. They didn t pressure me into getting more work done to the car. But it s nice to know I can count on them when I m ready. It s a nice busy shop. Will go back for more work soon.
Customer service was awesome! Service to my car was as promised and completed quickly. Definitely my new go to mechanic!
Great service! Took us in last minute before they closed and had us up and running in no time!
Very good experience.
I have been going to Hector s Auto Shop since 2020. My Kia 02 car is still running good. Thank you for your excellent service and support!
I was interested in using their services due to the high reviews. When I called for a price estimate on a tune-up service for a compact sedan, the person who picked up the phone was quick to say, Youre going to have to come in. Im passing because that customer service was wack tbh.
It was very easy to drop off my vehicle. They were familiar with my warranty approval process and handled everything very efficiently. The staff is very friendly, answered all my questions and provided clear communication.
I do not recommend this place, apart from the fact that they are very expensive, they take care of you in a bad way, they fixed my truck, they charged me $6000 dollars and the year had not finished and I was already liquidating the antifreeze again, which is why they took them the first time and they left me with another budget of another $5600 that other things had been detected and he had to make do. Its too much to take her to another place to do a good inspection and she had nothing.
I have been taking my car for maintenance with them for 2 years and everything has been going well so far, they are very professional and the customer service is excellent.
Best and great service trust my car with them. Thank u so much for loyalty service
Maria is very knowledgeable plus she provides excellent customer service. I will be returning for future services.
Very professional and concern in taking care of what needs to be addressed on your vehicle. And speedy service .
Fast and good service I always come here for diagnostic thanks!
I drove in 10 hours to view a car I wanted a pre check inspection, I was quoted 125 for 1 hour I was greeted by the sweetest older lady who I had a good feeling would look out for me. In the end they sent me all the pictures and detailed video she then proceeded to run me through all the estimated costs and how serious the repair was, in the end saving me over 5-6 thousand dollars on unseen repairs that I was not aware of. Even staying late so I could try to pick up a check.
I have been coming here for the past 10 years and never had a problem with my car needs. I recently came in for an oil change today and my previous visit was a brake service. Maria, the receptionist was professional and was greeted right away when I walk in. You get what you paid for and at the end of the day, the results come out great. I m happy a customer and love coming to Hectors Auto! Update: March 2023 they have moved across the street and have a better seating area with a big TV
Very nice did such a great job everyone from the office lady to the mechanic got my car fixed on time really appreciate their service definitely recommend!
Very good service... friendly .
Good Workmanship when it comes to finding the problem and fixing the problem. Ability to get parts was quick. Communication was above expectations, hourly rate for repair was a little high but i do have a bmw and i will go back to get any work done at Hector s
Maria has the best customer service, came in for a oil change and was out with in 20 min. I will definitely be going here again
María was amazing, I ve been doing oil changes, brakes etc and my car has been working perfect ever since I started bringing it here
Mistakes every body does that why the four stars
Recommended! Honest mechanics maria customer service the best
They recommended this workshop to me and I went and I liked the service. Now I always have my cars get the oil changed.
Maria was awesome! I had troubles with my car due to a previous job from another auto repair shop. She was clear about what needed to be done from start to finish! She is very personable and I would recommend this place to anyone! Definitely my new go to shop.
Headlights and fog light replacement...Very helpful and professional staff all around, And definitely having more work done in the future.
Pretty good over all satisfaction. Reasonable prices and good quality
Good business
I recently visited Hector s Auto Repair for an oil change for My 2017 Subaru BRZ, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with their service. The mechanic completed the job quickly and efficiently, ensuring that my vehicle was back on the road in no time. Their expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. The staff was friendly and professional, answering all my questions. I highly recommend this place for their exceptional service and will definitely be returning for future automotive needs.
Worst place ever overcharge me to get my car fixed the prices are super crazy They charge me $950 for a starter I called AutoZone and the part was only 300 so they charge me 500 for the part Please stay far away from this place. If you have a foreign car, they are going to overcharge you. Please stay far away
You have to understand how shops work. There are no 100% guarantees meaning you pay as you go on complicated issues.I can change your radiator that has a hole from a rock, but I can not guarantee it will not overheat without checking the water pump ,hoses,thermostat or even the engine ports. They did a great full check of the vehicle and sent a great response . $100 well spent. Electric is more. And world goto another spot . Hope this helps Good shop.
Quick professional service very affordable and gave us a warranty on our repairs. I will definitely be coming back for any other repairs on my other vehicles and I highly recommend this place. Services
Maria is amazing and i loved how patient she was and the service was really quick. Got my rotors and breaks changed in 3 hours.
I like the place as it was clean, however, be careful because they told me verbally there would be 100 inspection fee that would go towards the repair....in the end they didnt apply the 100 because they had in Fine print it does not apply toward oil change pay 170 for oil change. Read the fine lines as in the they will charge 100 for inspection
Gave me a very in detailed accurate inspection and I will be having my service complete with them give them a try very great customer service
Maria the receptionist was very communicative professional and resourceful
I love customer service .!!! In the excellent office, a 100 for the lady who attends, and the mechanic JoRdY, very charismatic and efficient .recommended
Fair prices, fast work, quality work, I highly recommend them
I had a great experience at Hectors Auto care they took very good care of my car I will be recommending their work they do excellent and quality auto repair work I am a happy customer
This mechanic place is very professional and the price is honestly reasonable.
Excellent customer service kind of pricey but they did a great job
Awesome customer service very fast and friendly and communication flawless Maria did a good job of keeping me up date with what was going on with my car for a pretty large repair would honestly recommend them if you need a good shop to take your car too
They did what they said they would do
Staff was cordial, customer service was excellent. I was in and out very very quickly. I definitely will highly recommend you guys. I will continue let you service my vehicle in near future I was very happy with your service
Awesome service! Thank you for your honesty.
Good service and fast thanks, I believe them.
Excellent work, I recommend them, thank you
Quality.
IVE BEEN WITH HECTOR FOR A LOT OF YEARS. THE PRICES ARE REASONABLE,THE EMPLOYEES ARE SO NICE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE,WHEAVER THEY MOVE TO I WILL FOLLOW.KEEP IT UP HECTOR LOVE YOU GUYS
Very professional work not only for my dads car but also mine I got into a car accident and they right away fix my car in 2 weeks and the lady in the front office really professional and really friendly I really recommend this mechanic
I never post or do reviews but this is an exception. As a single mom with minimal knowledge of cars and stressing about car repair expense I was hesitant to bringing in my car to just any mechanic because of the bad rep they get in scamming especially women. However, I made the choice of bringing in my car here after reading all the good reviews and I m glad I did. Hector, who I believe is the owner helped me out and was very nice/friendly and made me feel comfortable, explained everything in detail and saved me from a huge problem with my car and money. I found my new trustworthy mechanic, I really recommend this place!
Excellent service.
Went there to diagnose my 1992 dodge van they charged me 100.00 told me I needed a new engine I had another mechanic check it out and just needed a a tune up and oil change , that was about 6 months ago van is running like a champ strong . Would not recommend this shop .
Great customer service. Definitely recommend to anyone with car problems.
I am so glad to have a place I can trust.
Yes Ms. Maria and her team are the best... no issues knows wat theyre talking about... u feel like your leaving your car in da right hands... quicc and efficient .... I recommend to all
Great customer service
Very professional, clean shop. Wonderful work
Trustworthy and reliable
Great fast service. Reasonable prices.
The owner Hector its a rip off promeses one thing to fix everything and destroy the whole car. He charged me 3000 dollars and after l paid him and got my car out of his shop my engine blew up on the freeway
Couldnt even give me price information...
Very bad service, I have come to this place 1 hour and a half before closing time and they still leave with a bad attitude on the part of the staff that is in that place, they do not respect the customer service hours and still with the bad attitude to treat the customer as if they do not care what the customer thinks about it. The closing time on Saturdays is at 2 pm and I was in the place at 12:30 pm so do not come and waste your time at this place.
Overall great work!
They have a good and handsome electrical mechanic
This is a awesome auto repair shop great customer service Maria is amazing can t wait to go back to get a full service job done on my 2006 GS300 Lexus I recommend this shop if you want it done right and quick. Thanks you guys!!!
They charge just to inspect your vehicle! Smh!
Heaven Sent Mrs Maria is such an Angel and she s very thorough. She makes sure the job gets done. I absolutely love her. I will never take my baby (2017 Silverado) Anywhere but Hectors Auto. Their timing is undefeated. My truck was fix and she was calling me to pick it up before I could even make a rsvp for an rental which was covered by my insurance. If I could give them a Million stars they would have it.
Very helpful. Very friendly. Reasonable price. Quick service. Would definitely recommend.
I have to say that being a woman its difficult to find people with integrity and its worse when you find your self from shop to shop and it just doesnt make sense. Before I came to Hectors I took my car to Toyota and the man said it would cost me 4,900.00 just because the service required light was on so luckily I started to Google shops by their best ratings and thanks to Hectors shop my car no longer has the service required light and it was only 75.00 BIIIIIIG DIFFERENCE. THANKS TO EVERYONE AT HECTORS
A+ service Switched out my headlights and I couldnt be happier with the results. Waiting area was also nice with Netflix to keep you company
Very good
Excellent customer service. They are polite and friendly. Always satisfied with the service they provide. Whenever I have a question in regards to any maintenance on my car they clarify and are helpful. They care about the customer.
GD BUSINESS
Very good service very happy
The shop was able to find the problem and repair it right away. I have a MBZ hybrid, which not to many shops were willing to even diagnose. I was impressed with the fact that Hectors shop had the right people and equipement to handle the repairs. The people there were great. It was a good experience.
Maria and the team at Hectors are A+. From my first interaction via phone, Maria was clear, communicative and quick! I let her know what I needed and within minutes had an estimate. She also helped provide financing options making the entire process easy and seamless. I highly recommend HECTORS for any and all cars needs.
the best customer service & they work very fast !
Good service..
Honest with great customer service. Glad I found them to work on my cars.
Professional service
Great Auto repair, liked the staff , very professional
I told them what issues were they did exactly that and some love them friendly and respectful and fast
Fast, respectful, friendly and great price ! Explained everything step by step and even checked my maintenance and gave me heads up for the future Best automotive work shop I ve ever been to Great place, good people, amazing service
The best service you can expect thanks
A great experience, friendly and listened to what I had to say. They specifically told me what was wrong with my car and went into detail
I recommend this place they did an excellent job.
excellent service. Hector is a professional
Replaced the engine in my 2003 BMW. Runs like magic. They also take care of my Ford hybrid. Very happy with Hector and his teams breadth of knowledge.
Great service. Fast, Friendly, and great price.
Hector s performed a full service on my car and as soon as I got it back I noticed a difference right away. Hector s came through when I needed help the most.
GREAT SERVICE. Super fast service for my breaks. Maria was super nice as well.
A good mechanic is hard to find so when you meet Hector hang on tight to him . He keeps my Equinox in tip top shape.
Maria was very kind from day 1, and very professional. I came in to see why my car kept loosing power while driving. They found the problem which was a faulty altanator and was fixed in no time. Hector was very informative about my car, did a awesome job and I made it home safely without it stopping on me. Saved me a lot of money because NISSAN was going to charge 9000!!!!!!!! Thanks Hector auto repair, I will be coming back for a full service
Hector auto repair is an excellent place to have your car worked on. Very professional, excellent customer service and reasonable prices. They did a full diagnostic test on my car.The car was ready in one day. They did an oil change,Thermostat, replace old hoses, and all repairs were done right! I would definitely recommend Hector auto repair to anyone looking for a good mechanic:)
This is my first time being here. The customer service was amazing. I went in for an air pump, I didnt expect the work would be done this fast. Im really happy with the results my truck sounds like new, lol.
Very professional, honest, very clean, fast service, I was very surprised actually because I was expecting the usual trying to up sale on things I really didn t need but they are the complete opposite, after careful assessment they will advise on things that can wait, and things that need immediate attention, and most of all very reasonable with they re prices, And I m so glad I found them and will not go anywhere else!
They did a great job on my mustang they are very good at their job
Very accommodating and fair price.
Definitely recommend and will be back again. Maria was honest and straightforward with her advice and did not put a sale before a customer. Thanks to Maria and her team of professional mechanics. God blesses those who are honest and upright. Appreciate it Maria.
Maria was exceptionally. Took care of my car issues. I would recommend their shop. Great service.
Very Nice The Customer Service was the best part. 10 Stars
Like the service friendly and timely Thanks very much so close to my home Services
I got my diagnostic they found the problem very good place too take your car.
I was in and out very quickly.
I recommend this shop they are grate. I took my diesel utility truck with a big noice and it was shaking too and they fixed it. I take all my cars there.
Great service, fast and reasonable.
Very , knowledgeable and professional ...Honest? So I thought!!!! I will never go here again. I had work done on my sensors. A few months later they were no good. Notified them they gave bs information claimed i had problems that didnt exist, after i provided 2 diagnosis. Picked up my car after they claimed to have corrected their failed repair work and another problem showed up on the diagnosis that was not there before so they voided the warranty but all of that was because they didnt do proper work the first time and they wanted to weasel their scam ways out of a legitimate claim when I provided all of the paperwork. To add insult to injury when I asked to see or pick up my original parts that they claimed were damaged I was told no and they texted me pictures unbelievable!!! scam artist. run from this place they are not honest completely dishonest and I trusted them in the beginning thats whats so disheartening to me I really thought I found a new place for my car.
Hector s auto repair is GREAT! I just recently moved to the west coast, needed a place I could tow my car and get it serviced. Vehicle was having engine throttle control issues. Came across this business - read the reviews and went for it! Best decision ever. Hector is knowledgeable, informative and professional! I live two hours away from his shop , but once you find a good mechanic you hold on to it! I will GLADY travel two hours to him for any service my vehicle needs.
Price checking
Great work
Not bad
Customer service is good
They rude I was there to ask for something about my car and they just look at me and ignoring me .
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!
Took a Subie in for an electrical diagnostic and came back in 2 days, no more electrical issues and a code sheet of all the things that were wrong inside the car There were about 16 issues Could have been there for weeks Ill definitely come back
Did a great job on my girlfriends Silverado
Hector is the best. Going here for years. Everyone is friendly, professional and courteous. Fair prices on great work. I recommend his shop to everyone.
Took my lexus in for an oil change, Hectors team was fast and efficient. Excellent price. Thank You.
A bit expensive but worth every penny.
They have good prices and excellent customer service...!!!
Honest Trustworthy ethical hats off to the guys and Maria 2007 volvo in the hood Ill never go to the dealership for service again top notch business
This place is awesome. Good service, great customer service and they are really good. Nobody else would fix my truck but these people did. If you want your vehicle fixed these are the people to go to. 5 stars!
Very good mechanic
60 for a uber inspection come on now maaan
Very friendly and good service
$100 just for diagnosis even though l knew what was wrong. No internet. Lower class area
For honesty and good work for all brands of vehicles they are professionals
The technician (didn t catch his name), Maria (office) were amazing! My transmission started to jerk and I went there on a whim and am I glad I did! Took it in Monday morning and has my car back on Wednesday morning! Super fast, they worked with my dealer to get my transmission covered under warranty! I would definitely be recommending them to my friends and family! I will also come here for maintenance on my car going forward!
We brought our Jeep for AC repair and waited for someone to acknowledge us. Finally Hector the owner told us to back up let a customer out. We pulled back inn again being the ones next be service, two other cars came inn right after us but yet Hector comes out and right in our face he skipped us and goes to the customer the came in last. The was pretty shady waited for service standing in the sun with our kiddos. BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Just left us while he left for a test drive with the other customer the pulled inn last. We only came here because of the good reviews Supposedly. I would give it zero stars for the bad Customer service NEVER AGAIN GOING BACK!
Oil change very thorough good price and quick
I usually get my work done in Chatsworth, but have recently moved to LA. I completely blew my engine in my FRS. I was nervous looking for such an expensive repair in LA, BUT LET ME TELL YOU! They handled me and my car amazingly. The receptionist was straightforward and extremely friendly. The mechanic did not mind answering all of my questions, and was extremely patient with me. They even washed and DETAILED my car and it runs amazing ! Now where do they do that at, that s priced that good? I will forever take my cars to Hectors. Can t thank them enough
I WAS GOING FOR A BEER IN A HOT DAY AND I TOUGHT I WOULD FIX THE OLD TOYOTA MATRIX I STOPPED BY HECTOR HELPED ME HE CHECK THE AC AND TOLD ME THAT MIGHT BE THAT WAS OUT OF FREON SO HE FIX MY CAR 2004 TOYOTA MATRIX THANK YOU HECTOR
Excellent customer service. My car never ran better!!!!
Cool
They are high and over price.... They tried to over charge my ppl for their repair .. they gave him a price for oil pan leak .. the first quote was 5000 then 3500 ... He went and got the car repair done for 1800.
Maria, intake/customer service, is amazing. She definitely goes beyond the call of duty and offers the friendliest service during a time that can be stressful amongst customers.
Im getting the engine put in my 1989 Cadillac
Gave me one price over the phone, but when I got there the price was 30.00 more. Started working on my car as soon as I got there. They werent busy. Couldnt get gas rode home on prayer and fumes. But Im happy with the work on my car so far.
I was web surfing around for transmission rebuilt prices on a average and I was told by a lady at this shop that they don t give prices over the phone I informed her that I don t live close by so that s why I m utilizing the internet but she wasn t trynna hear it.... Guess she doesn t realize it s 2020s and things is way easier to communicate and get needed info via internet and this will effect their ratings.
Great work and workers They will fix your problem...
One honest auto mechanic shop ..good service always Appreciated..
Very friendly staff they inspect ur car really good n have great service
