Carotech Automotive & Complete Car Care Center

I replaced my tires, filters, and brakes at Carotech and they did a wonderful job. Service was quick and professional and great overall. My car was cleaned from the inside out including the engine part. I highly recommend this place for all your car service/repair needs and especially Gary who was very patient kind and professional with me.

Between now and when i write the full review, i have a very simple piece of advice for anyone reading this.

Call Carotech Auto, ask Gary when you can drop off your car and then trust him and his expert team to fix your car properly, for an extremely fair price and with the best warranty I've encountered from any auto mechanic shop in my life.

Do not bother wasting time reading other reviews. This place is absolutely without compare the best auto repair shop in LA.

Thank you Gary.

For those who may be wondering, I found Carotech through a Google search and spoke to Gary for the first time about 72 hours ago. He suggested i drop my car off Wednesday. I just picked it up today (Thursday 11/9/2023) and the work done on it was exceptional in all respects.

I'll never go to another auto mechanic as long as i remain in Los Angeles.

But to be clear, prior to 3 days ago, i knew nothing about Gary or his shop. And my car had been neglected for the past 6+ years. It was also filthy and the engine compartment was an embarrassment to even see.

Gary is the best! I can always trust that he’ll take good care of my Prius. He gets everything done that I ask and he always waits to move forward on bigger repairs until he gets approval on price. They also give you a full report on the inspection they do and if there are repairs they send pictures of your vehicles broken parts as well as videos to educate on why the repairs are important or what part of the car they’re working on. I really appreciate what they do so much!

Carotech is an absolute gem in the world of auto repair! I cannot express my gratitude enough to Gary, and Jesus, who worked on my car, for their exceptional service. I found this place due to its high number of 5-star reviews and decided to give it a shot. They went above and beyond to diagnose and fix an issue with my car that even my dealership wasn't able to figure out.

Their dedication and expertise truly shone through as they spent two whole days tirelessly running tests to pinpoint the exact problem. Gary's communication throughout the entire process was outstanding, keeping me informed every step of the way and ensuring that I felt confident in their work.

Not only did they diagnose and fix the issue, but they also took the extra step to detail my car and wash the entire engine bay, leaving it looking better than when I first drove it off the lot. This was truly a delightful surprise.

Thanks to Carotech, my car is running flawlessly again - and I can't imagine taking it anywhere else for repairs. From now on, Carotech has earned my trust and my business. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of genuine, top-notch auto repair in Los Angeles. Five stars all the way.

I never thought I would feel so passionate about an auto repair service, but Carotech and Gary are just that great!

I recently had a complete brake service done, and Gary and his team exceeded all expectations. What blew me away was their lightning-fast service, quality work, and transparency throughout the whole process.

Gary's clear explanations and fair cost estimates made the process fast and seamless. His communication skills are truly unparalleled. He responded to my questions with patience and kindness, and always made sure I knew what was going on with timely updates that included photos and texts.

Gary's unmatched professionalism and the skilled mechanics make Carotech the only choice for reliable, fast, and reasonably priced automotive needs.

Thanks Gary and team for the outstanding service. You're simply the best!

Having had two Jaguars when Jaguar was a synonym for unreliability and demanded frequent visits to dealerships for servicing and repairs - always too expensive - and further visits to assorted shops which were not always capable , and then having a wonderful Lexus and Mercedes and again being at the mercy of too expensive and sometimes untrustworty dealerships, I finally reached out to AAA for their recommendation for service ansd was fortunate and ultimnately thrilled to be sent to CAROTECH. Gary was straightforward, scrupulously honest about what needed to be done and why, and sent me excellent vosuals to show me exactlty what was going on and what was needed. Ans he delivered brilliantly and was able to save me money by repairing a defective seat motor instead of ordering a costly new one. Having been screwed over too often for too many years just for trying to keepo our cars in safe running shape CAROTCH WAS IN THE MIRACLE CLASS . I recommend Gary and his shop with absolute certainty that they will treat you and your vehicle superbly well, and give you the absolutely best deal possible. Please, quote me .

Gary and Carotech replaced my tires which were extremely worn out - I called on Monday afternoon and they were all fixed by Tuesday. Super professional, communicative, and helpful! Thank you, Carotech!

Carotech always takes such good care of me and my vehicle. As someone who knows next to nothing about cars, I’m so grateful to have finally found a mechanic who takes pride in, not only their work, but in treating their customers fairly and respectfully. That’s HUGE in my book. Thank you CAROTECH AUTOMOTIVE. Thank you GARY!

Gary was so helpful. They were super efficient and communicative on the issues with my car, and fixed it quickly. Thanks so much!

Had an amazing experience here. Service was amazing. They cleaned everything up so nicely as well and dealt with calling my warranty. They really care about the long term with your vehicle! Thank you 🙏

Gary was an amazing representative and gave me top tier service from the minute I scheduled the diagnostic until I was back in my car. The process was easy and my car is now in tip top shape!

MANNNNNNNNN THESE GUYS WERE AWESOME! The check in process and the detailed estimate that you get via text and email WITH PICTURES was cutting edge and really helpful. Gary was an extra cool and I’ll DEF be back.

I couldn't recommend this place more! I called Carotech first thing on a Monday morning thinking I would need to replace my battery. It had been a while since I'd taken my car in to a real mechanic, so figured there would be some other things to fix as well. Gary and his team were very transparent about what my car needed and, since it had been so long since I had any work done, there was some extra love needed. The diagnostic reports sent via text/email are so helpful and Gary is honest about what work you really need done. My car was ready to be picked up on the early end of Gary's estimate and it's driving better than ever!

I'm so thankful to have found my new car mechanic!

What shall I say more than what is already siad in Gary and his team!!! They are just as amazing and honest as I have never dealt with any like that before for my car. Gary is a nice, respectable and a friendly guy that took me easily through every little step with my Altima. He called me after the initial inspection to stand on the issues and asked me to come on-site to show me everything he pointed out that needed real attention. He never sells you anything you will not need URGENTLY. He cares for your car as if it is his own and really cares for your -and others- safety on road! Unfortunately my car did require quite a bunch of stuff to he done! He gave me a really fair price (despite I'm still complaining of it :-D) ... but no kidding it is very fair for the amount of job he did and I bet it is very reasonable compared to other auto shops...add to that his HONESTY which I really have to highlight. I'm back on the asphalt today after 4 days of work on my car. I love how my car drives now and really appreciate the work Gary and his team did. They even offer you 24 months/24,000 miles warranty on any parts installed by them in your car.

Bottom line, I will never deal with any autoshop other than Carotech automotive.
I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking incredible service, honesty, and reasonable prices.

Thank you Gary!

My cars engined started to lag after uphill driving through the grapevine, and then the check engine light came on. I took my car in on a Friday to get it checked out and got a diagnosis the following Monday — super quick return time! I ended up needing a new turbo. The repair cost was reasonable and Gary did a great job at explaining everything in the repair/pricing. I got my car back way faster than expected (Thursday morning due to shipping of parts)! Overall this is a great spot to go to for car troubles. The mechanics even explained to me what went wrong and I was able to understand (not a car person)! I’m glad I found my car mechanic for the future!

Gary and his team at Carotech are truly excellent. They are clear and up front about their process, and they are straight forward on possible solutions and costs. Their service is fast, reliable and reasonably priced. They fixed things right the first time. I will definitely use them again, and I will definitely recommend to my friends and family for their auto repair and service needs. Highest reco for Gary and Carotech.

Gary is an absolute legend. I have a 2011 VW Jetta that’s seen some better days. It needed a long list of repairs and some cosmetic damage like a smashed headlight. The VW dealership tried to charge me crazy prices, but not Carotech. Gary and his team did a full inspection of my car and sent me a report which included detailed descriptions and photos of each location in the car. They also helped me prioritize the most pressing repairs based on my personal needs. Their pricing is great and their customer service is amazing. Their team truly goes above and beyond. To put it in perspective, I had this smashed headlight for a few months. I tried getting the dealership to fix it and they wouldn’t. I called my old mechanic on the east side of LA, they refused. Gary and his team had my entire list of repairs fixed within a couple days AND they fixed the headlight AND cleaned the other headlight to match AND they washed my car so it looks brand new. They also got it done before the long weekend and communicated progress with me throughout the entire process. I’ll definitely be returning! Great people, great prices, great service. I feel loved. Thank you again!!

Gary was so helpful and sweet! I took my car to get 2 tires replaced and he and his team were able to do it efficiently and quickly. Recommending to my friends and everyone reading this immediately :)

Great place! Service is amazing. I took my car in to get repaired before the holidays and got a call to come pick up next day! Very trustworthy

This place is amazing! They took amazing car of my car with a fair cost. My battery was beyond repair and they managed to bring my car back from the dead! Not only that… they hand washed and buffed the car. It’s never looked better!

Thank you so much, Carotech!
