King Harbor Auto Repair in Redondo Beach

I have had a very good experience working with KHAR on about 5 cars and i have referred them several people and everyone has been satisfied. They are not the cheapest shop out there but for being down at the beach on PCH the prices are very competitive. The owner is your point of contact and it is an old school deal... he calls you and tells you what's up, your car is done on time, and the price you pay at the end is right in line with what it should be. They even worked on my classic C10 truck and fixed a lot of little issues that other shops didn't want to take the time on.. but they worked through a lot of it and helped sort out my truck. This is a smaller shop and you get personal service and the location is very convenient directly across PCH from Whole Foods.

They saved my life. I kept smelling gasoline when I got out of my car. Nobody else could smell it. So one day I pulled into King Harbor Automotive and we lifted the hood and we both smell it and it got fixed right then. I have never regretted getting my car repaired there.👍

"Check Engine" light came on! Ugh! Went to Yelp for local shops--dealer's always more. After a few calls, I reached out for a second opinion of the original diagnostic during a routine oil change. I went to see Pete and Efrain who gave me an honest price--got a good vibe from them. So, dropped off my 2015 Toyota Prius two for a second diagnostic(part of the repair price) and they confirmed it needed a new engine coolant pump. It was ready same day and they even checked the car's levels to make sure it was good. Yep, I'm happy--and so is my wife!

Excellent mechanic. Explained the issue very clearly and simply that I was having with oil leaking into the drip pan and that is why smoke was coming out from underneath my hood. Also took care of replacing my worn down brake pads. Honest, friendly and fair prices. Usually can get my BMW in the same day I call if it’s in the morning. Highly recommend Efron and his shop!

This Repair service went above and beyond to make sure my daughter's car was safe and reliable. They identified a MAJOR oversight from the last shop (literally the last place we went to DID NOT replace a major bolt in the suspension) and fixed it perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend King Harbor Auto repair. They were communicative, thoughtful, and fixed the car beyond our expectations. Thank you. We will be back for all our service needs.

A friend recommended this auto repair. Made an appointment for oil change. There was no waiting time. Very professional and honest people. Paid much less than the dealer. No rip offs here. I will be coming back here for sure.

I drive 43 miles each way, just to enjoy the privilege of being a customer of this wonderful business owner and his great employees. God smiled on me 3 years ago when my car broke down a few blocks away in Redondo Beach and I looked up a close local shop. I found Efrain Noriega and I have been so happy with his work and his work ethics that I once had my car towed 97 miles in order to have him perform a repair. Efrain truly goes the extra mile for old friends and strangers alike. I can give no higher business recommendation than I do for King Harbor Auto Repair.

I hardly ever write reviews but I was impressed enough with my experience to take my time to write this. I called King Harbor Auto Repair regarding my girlfriends car, which we believed had some leaks and possibly bigger issues, and they told me to bring it in to be looked at. I asked for pricing and was told there was a diagnostic fee (forget the exact price) and if there is anything needed that the fee would be applied toward the repair. A few hours after dropping off my car I received a phone call and was told that the car was in good condition and simply needed an oil change. The leaks were diagnosed as normal for the car and I was even updated about the condition of the breaks (close to 100% in the rear and about 40% up front). As promised the diagnostic fee was applied toward the oil change and I left with an $83 debit charge. I am new to the area and am delighted to have found such an honest and good repair shop. I will be bringing my cars here from now on and will also be recommending my friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family. There is no need to look elsewhere. Thank you King Harbor Auto Repair for your service and I wish you many blessings.
