C & R Auto Repair Center inc - Los Angeles (CA)

5 /5 Jenna HernandezlN: Outstanding service and quality work on my 2018 Ford F150. I had the pleasure of meeting Jaime the owner of C&R, he quickly diagnosed my vehicle. He was very thorough and provided excellent customer service. We left feeling confident in his work and safe in our vehicle. Our Vehicle had a full tune up with brake replacement, new rotors, oil change and all new spark plugs. We will definitely return for future service. Highly recommended.

5 /5 Mariela Chamale: I recently had some engine work done on my Toyota Camry at C & R Automotive, and I couldnt be happier with the service I received. Jaime was incredibly professional and knowledgeable and he took the time to explain everything that needed to be done. He completed the work promptly and my car is running better than ever. I highly recommend for anyone in need of reliable and expert car service!

5 /5 Maggie Jonas: I first took my car to C&R because of its convenient location, but I will never go anywhere else! Jaime and the team are talented mechanics and kind, honest people. Over the past few years I have brought my car in there countless times for all different stuff and have always received reliable and speedy service for a fair price. The business is run with such integrity--Ill give a couple examples. My check engine light went on one time and Jaime diagnosed a sensor as the issue, and instead of taking the opportunity to charge me to replace it he tried cleaning it first because he didnt think it needed replacing (it didnt!) and told me if the problem persisted he would credit me for the cleaning to replace the sensor. Recently, I had my A/C fixed and unfortunately the compressor installed was faulty. I brought it in a couple months later and because it was under warranty they replaced it and recharged it for absolutely free. I couldnt believe it! This place is the best!

1 /5 Spring Pena: DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE!! Brought my car in when I had a check engine light on. Based on how my car was behaving (mind you it was still running, drivable, no noises) I suggested it may be a spark plug issue causing misfires. Jaime, the owner, claimed the spark plugs were fine and that it was AN ENGINE ISSUE. Basically, one of the most expensive repairs possible, as opening the motor to get to the heads is at minimum a $2k job. Well he quoted me at $3500 before repairs. I sensed something didn’t seem right, so I decided to get a second opinion from a friends mechanic. When I told Jaime I would be taking my car back, he was not happy. He insisted I shouldn’t take the car, not to drive it and to leave it with him in his shop. I showed up to take it back anyway and requested the invoicing for the estimate as well as the diagnostics report. Ha! He was trying to replace timing belt (there’s nothing wrong with my timing belt) plus numerous other parts, effectively recommending that I replace a list of parts for the engine, which he never mentioned were malfunctioning. WHAT?! I knew immediately something was fishy. So then he brings my car out, hands me the keys and says “good luck getting it home”. Excuse me? My car was perfectly drivable yesterday… After I get in the car, I immediately notice it is shaking, idling roughly and so noisy! Worse condition than I brought it in. WELLLL my car stalls twice driving it home in LA traffic. My friends mechanic comes to look at it, and reveals they had LEFT TWO SPARK PLUGS DISCONNECTED. He wanted to ensure I wouldn’t be able to drive it! He could have caused injury and bodily harm to me, not to mention could have caused an accident, resulting in damage to my vehicle. After my friends mechanic checks it out, he sees the ONLY issue with my car are some spark plugs. Exactly what I thought to begin with. C & R not only lied about my spark plugs not being the problem, they CREATED a very, very expensive problem that was NON EXISTENT so they could steal my money. Yes, I am a young female who maybe appears to have no knowledge of cars. I have done work on my own cars Jaime, don’t judge a book by its cover. And never discount gut feelings. He claimed two cylinders weren’t holding pressure, so I had the pressure re-tested and guess what- NO ISSUES. Meaning this wasn’t a valve, piston, cam shaft, timing belt or any other engine problem. SCAM. This man is a vulture and con artist and a danger and liability to the community. He thought he could prey on me. Always trust your gut and never trust an overly “nice” mechanic.
