A1 Automotive Service Inc

It was my first visit bringing the car to the shop. I was planning to get an oil change and brake inspection. 30 minutes after dropping off the car, the shop called back and informed me of the brake condition. The brake still have about 50% of usage left, so no replacement or repair necessary. The shop did recommend the transmission fluid and brake fluid flush services, and I agreed to them. The car was ready by the estimated time (90 minutes for the entire appointment), and it was a smooth transaction. The staff at the shop were friendly and helpful. This was a positive first-visit experience, and I plan to bring the car back again soon.

Service was prompt without trying to upsell anything else. They are very honest and won't try to perform work that doesn't need to be done.
They don't track the work they perform on your vehicle, so you need to keep track of what your next service is.

We have been taking our cars to San Gabriel Automotive Repair for years. Almost as soon as you drive up Richard (the owner) is there to take care of you. His mechanics are well trained and we have never had any complaints on any of the services they have performed on our cars.

We've been getting repairs here for 6 years. The prices are reasonable and repairs are done promptly. The place doesn't look pretty or fancy but it has 6 or 7 bays and gets a lot of business. The owner, Richard F*, has a few times told us that it would be safe to wait a few months to do a certain repair if we wanted to, which indicates honesty. He's also done a few little jobs for no charge such as topping off brake fluid. From what I know about cars and their problems, Richard has always done a correct diagnosis and never cheated us. There is no overnight parking, so repairs are done the same day. If there isn't time that day, because for example they have to order a part, Richard will tell you, but if you bring your car reasonably early in the day you can expect same-day repairs. Every time he has said he could do it the same day, he has. We have found that they either start work immediately or very soon, so if you want to you can wait at the station or go to the Shakey's next door while you wait. It's very busy on Saturdays, so you should be sure to bring your car early on those days. On weekdays I have sometimes taken our car there during lunch time and had it fixed on an extended lunch break. I'd recommend this establishment to anyone.

We've gone to them for years now because their prices are fair, they're honest about what needs to be done, and they're fast.

We have used them several times. They give good service and their prices are reasonable.

SAN GABRIEL AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR INC is a good company. they will admit their mistakes. they are honest and smart. they do good work at good prices. i will go back to them in the future.

Vehicle was dropped off at 8:30 am, verbal estimate was given. Was called at 2:30 pm to say the job was complete.
