The best reviewed business in Los Angeles right now is Tony's Motor Service, at 5.0 stars across 613 reviews. Every shop above clears 4.3 stars with at least 15 reviews behind it, which is the point where a rating starts meaning something. Plenty of shops hold five stars on four reviews. That is not the same thing.
Of the 421 businesses listed in Los Angeles, there are 57 that will come to you, 264 with a workshop you drive to, 3 diesel specialists, 55 body and collision shops, 3 RV and trailer shops and 44 tire shops. 1 of them has been claimed by the owner, which means somebody has confirmed the hours, the phone number and what they actually work on. An unclaimed listing is not a worse business. It just means we built the record and nobody has corrected it yet.

Independent shops in California usually charge $120 to $175 an hour for labor, which is above the national average. A quote is the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts. At California rates, a brake rotor replacement runs about $220 to $650 and a transmission fluid change runs about $145 to $420 for a midsize car.
Of the 400 Los Angeles listings that post their hours, 319 open on Saturday and 83 on Sunday. 74 open before 8 AM on weekdays, which helps if you need to drop the car off before work.
353 businesses in Los Angeles have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 263 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 64 or more reviews. A shop with a long history and a 4.6 is a safer call than a perfect 5.0 from a handful of people.
For work a general shop may turn away, Los Angeles has 3 diesel specialists, 1 transmission shop, 55 body and collision shops, 44 tire shops, 15 smog and emissions stations, 3 RV and trailer shops and 5 heavy duty and fleet shops. Call ahead with the year, make and model so you do not waste a trip.
Gas, hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles from 1976 and newer, and diesel vehicles from 1998 and newer, need a smog check every two years when the DMV renewal notice asks for one. Gas and hybrid vehicles 8 model years old or newer pay a smog abatement fee instead, and electric vehicles are exempt. A smog check is also needed when most vehicles are sold and when a vehicle from another state is first registered in California. Details are on the California Bureau of Automotive Repair site. Auto shops must be registered with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, must give an estimate, and cannot start work until the customer approves it. Customers can get replaced parts back if they ask before approving the repairs, and the shop must give a final itemized invoice. Read the rule.
The average commute in Los Angeles is 31 minutes each way, and 60% of workers drive there alone. Long commutes add miles fast, so oil changes and brakes come due sooner than the calendar says.

10 junkyards, salvage yards and used parts yards within 15 miles of Los Angeles, the most reviewed first. Pick Your Part - Sun Valley is a pull it yourself yard, where you bring your own tools and pull the part.
A used part can take a real bite out of a repair bill. Ask your mechanic before you buy one, because some shops will not warranty labor on a part you bring in. Call the yard first too. Stock changes every day. To check hundreds of yards at once, search the part on Car-Part.com.

Buying a used car in Los Angeles? PPI Auto, our sister company, sends an inspector to the car for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. That is a 122 point check with a full scan and a road test, and the report comes back the same day. Dealer lot, private seller or auction, it works the same.
There are 852 car lots within 15 miles of Los Angeles, and 780 of them sell used. PPI Auto grades 297 of them A to F from their reviews, and 66 get an F. See the Los Angeles dealer grades before you go look at a car.

Yes. 57 of the businesses we list in Los Angeles will travel to you rather than making you bring the car in. That covers most servicing, brakes, batteries, diagnostics and plenty of repairs that do not need a lift.
3 businesses in Los Angeles list themselves as diesel specialists. It is worth going to one rather than a general shop, because the diagnostic equipment and the emissions work on a modern diesel are genuinely different.
Independent shops in California usually bill $120 to $175 an hour for labor. The national range is $95 to $140. Dealers charge more. Most quotes are the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts, so ask the shop how many hours it is billing you for.

Gas and hybrid vehicles 8 model years old or newer pay a smog abatement fee instead, and electric vehicles are exempt.

Yes. 83 of the businesses we list in Los Angeles show Sunday hours, including Viktor Tech Foreign and Domestic Auto Repair, Mobile Mechanic & Roadside by Easy Repair and Mobile Auto Glass Repair Rosas. Call first, because Sunday hours are often short and some only take emergencies.
Look at the review count as well as the stars, because five stars from four people tells you very little. 1 of the 421 listings in Los Angeles has been claimed by the owner, who confirmed the details. Auto shops must be registered with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, must give an estimate, and cannot start work until the customer approves it. Customers can get replaced parts back if they ask before approving the repairs, and the shop must give a final itemized invoice. Get the quote in writing before any work starts.
Usually not. 57 of the businesses in Los Angeles come to you, and with no building to pay for, they often charge a bit less than a shop. What they cannot do in a driveway is work that needs a lift or a press, so heavy jobs still go to a shop.
The most reviewed junkyards and used parts yards near Los Angeles are Pick Your Part - Sun Valley, Dodge City Auto Wrecking and Westside Auto Recycling. Pick Your Part - Sun Valley let you pull the part yourself. Call before you go, because what is on the lot changes daily.
Yes. PPI Auto, our sister company, inspects used cars in Los Angeles for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. The inspector comes to the car, runs a 122 point check and sends the report the same day. Call 951-267-8500 to book.
In California anyone paid to diagnose or repair cars must be registered with the Bureau of Automotive Repair as an Automotive Repair Dealer, and the number starts with ARD. You can look any shop up by name or number on the state's license search at search.dca.ca.gov. 191 of the 421 listings in Los Angeles show a BAR number on their MechanicRank page, linked to that lookup. If a shop will not give you its ARD number, take the car somewhere that will.
343 of the 421 listings in Los Angeles show a photo or logo. They come from the owner, from the business's own website, or from our own jobs for Supercanic locations. We never put a stock or AI photo on someone else's business. Owners can claim their listing free and add their own.

Because we work with these mechanics, not just list them. Besides checking listings, we run free study guides and certification exams for mechanics, publish repair cost guides by state, and give shops software to send written quotes and invoices. 57 of the Los Angeles listings come to you, 419 carry a rating with the review count beside it, and the order on this page follows the published rules on our How We Rank page.
Most mobile mechanics in Los Angeles price by the job, not the hour. Independent shop labor in California runs about $120 to $175 an hour, and mobile prices usually land in the same range for the same repair. Some add a trip fee and some fold it in. Ask for one total price, trip included, before they drive out. Our repair cost guides show typical parts and labor for each job.
Yes. Typical independent shop labor in California is about $120 to $175 an hour, so $100 is below the normal range. Dealers often charge more. What matters most is the total. Ask how many hours the job is quoted at and compare that with a second shop.
By rating and review count together, the strongest mobile mechanics in the Los Angeles area right now are Fenix Wheel Repair (5.0 stars, 406 reviews), BRAKE THRU MOBILE BRAKE REPAIR LLC (5.0 stars, 327 reviews) and Auto Glass Mobile LA (5.0 stars, 154 reviews). We weigh stars against how many reviews back them, so a perfect score on a few reviews does not win.
Some work needs a shop. Transmission swaps, engine rebuilds, alignments and anything that needs a lift go to a garage. Bad weather can push back a driveway job, and you need a safe, legal place to park where the mechanic can work. Many mobile mechanics also run a shop, or will tell you up front when a job needs one.
Get a written estimate that lists parts and labor. Call two or three shops with the same estimate and ask each for a total price. Ask what warranty comes with the parts and the work. Read recent reviews, not just the star score. A shop that explains the problem clearly and shows you the old part is a good sign.
