Los Angeles Auto Repair

I've been going to University Tire for the past two years, and I figured it's about time to post my review. These guys are honest and they do good work. Whether it's regarding tires or brakes or engine issues, they do a thorough and honest job. This past week, I took my van into the shop to get my brakes checked out. They were vibrating and I thought it was because my pads were getting low and I needed new brake pads. Well, after they did the initial inspection, they told me I had two options. 1) replace the two front brakes and rotors as there seemed to be build up that was causing the vibrating. Total cost about $300 OR 2) just have them clean the rotors off and retain the existing brake pads since they said I still have about a good 50% of the pads left. Total cost $105. I told them I would definitely want to do the latter job since it would save me money and since they thought the dirty rotors were the problem. They told me good choice and agreed. They just wanted to give me the first option just in case i wanted to do it for some reason. It's been a week and the vibrating still has not returned. They fixed the brake issue in such an honest way, not trying to milk me for extra work and extra money. This is just one of my experiences that I've had with them over the course of the past two years. If you want good, honest service at a very reasonable price, I highly recommend.

Absolutely the best guys for tires. They are courteous, quick, considerate of your time, and easy to deal with. I have been here for my last 2 sets of tires and returned because of the service. When I had an accident and needed documentation for my tire refund, a simple call fixed it all. Based on my caller ID, he had my tire order up immediately and offered to send it to my email address that was already on file. Then, he offered to look up my car info and sent me an email for the exact same tires as last time, per my request. When I got home, I found 2 emails, one helping me get over $400 back from my insurance, and another with a quote for the exact same price I have been graciously offered the first time (they price matched a very competitive retailer). They had my car done when promised and texted me when done. Upon picking up my car and the old tires, I was offered bags to keep my old tires from dirtying my leather. Bottomline, I have a single 'tire shop' to recommend to all who ask. Go here, tell em Calvin sent ya.

Got my flat tire fixed here. Cost $35. They were friendly. Drove in, no appointment made. Took a couple hours. Alot of time mechanics will leave dirt smudges inside the car, was afraid of that, but all looked clean and smudge free. Good experience!

I always come here for my oil changes on a Saturday, leave my car and come back later. I've had all my tires changed and other work. They are always courteous and never try to sell me unnecessary services. Thanks!

Love this place! Great work and reasonable prices!

As a woman I was scared that they'll try to rip me off, but they didn't. I personally prefer to do my own car maintenance and repairs, but with work and school it has become difficult for me. I went in knowing what was wrong with my car but still asked for a diagnostic just to check that they wouldn't try go rip me off for being a women. I spoke to Allan, he was really helpful and you can tell he knows his cars. The price was actually fair and they work fast. They are definitely not your stereotypical mechanic shop, these guys know their stuff. I'm definitely going back!

I only wish I had found them sooner. I went almost 3 years while at USC not knowing they even existed. They're used to dealing with students so they're not trying to play games like so many others. I have referred several friends to them and we've all become loyal customers. I now live on the westside and still make the trek to visit them for any car needs. It's definitely worth it! Oh and P.S. ask for John :)

I am a fan of this location for oil changes. Fair service and prices, but can get crowded. Had a run in with the body shop next door, so be cautious that you're talking to the correct team when you come.

I come here regularly for my oil changes because it's close to my apartment and reasonably priced. Granted, they don't offer the best rate on an oil change but I like going to them because they seem honest and they have a nice lounge to wait in. I went for my oil change yesterday, expecting to wait about an hour; was told it would be 2 hours because it's lunch time, but ended up being 40 minutes since one of the guys did it really quickly before taking lunch. I really appreciated this extra effort and the guys there are always really nice. An extra perk is they have free wifi in the lounge so you can study there or stream Netflix lol would definitely recommend this place for an oil change if you're willing to pay ~$35. Again, I'll pay extra for the convenience/location, good customer service, and comfort of the lounge.

Don't be fooled by the name, they do a heck of a lot more than just tires! Luxury, ghetto, foreign, domestic, they do it all! They have a mechanic who specializes in german cars and another guy who specializes in Lexus as well. I came here because of the other stellar reviews on yelp AND because after calling around for quotes, this place was the least expensive. Upon arriving I was happily greeted and I was in and out in about 30min. It was half off of what all my local auto repair shops were quoting me. Save time and money and just go with this place!
