So hard to find an honest mechanic these days. I took my daughter’s car there because the brakes were making a grinding noise. Weird since they never squealed but definitely sounded like we were into the rotors. Dropped off her car expecting a big bill. Javier called me and said my pads were at 70% and rotors are fine. Problem was that car her sits outside parked for 1-2 months while she is off to college so the rotors are rusting a bit. He said to drive it a few days and the pads will wear the rust off. He was 100% right. He could have fleeced me for $1200 but he didn’t. Respect! Love seeing businesses practice the Golden Rule.

The best auto repair shop on the Westside of Los Angeles. Javier and his team are honest and knowledgeable in what they do and proficient in their work. Highly recommend

Honest Mechanic Shop which is hard to say nowadays. Took care of the work warranty issue due to a defective part and honored word. Great family business. Hard to find someone knowledgeable in electric cars nowadays.

Excellent customer service, patience, and honesty! Javier and his colleagues are wonderful! I had my gas gauge fixed here July of 2019, and I am very pleased I stumbled upon Washington Place Automotive!

Javier has worked on two of my cars, he is honest and thorough. As long as he is around, I won't take my car anywhere else. He works on all cars. I have sent my Aunt to him (she couldn't have been happier), and will be sending my Dad to him to work on his 1987 Porsche 928.

Don't look further, Javier's your man!

Clean shop and very friendly, trustworthy owner.

Javier and the Washington Place Automotive Team are top notch professionals. 'Straight-shooters', great customer service and trust-worthy. I HIGHLY recommend these guys. Thank you. 2 Thumbs Up!!

Honest, friendly and knowledgeable auto repair shop - Not easy to find in any city but especially Los Angeles. I appreciate Javier and his team. I can drop my car off and trust them to repair only what is needed. ❤ Thank you Washington Place Auto Repair!

Replaced my water pump - excellent service.
I had my vehicle at two other highly-rated shops before I ended up here. There was a mysterious spraying of coolant under my hood, but the previous mechanics could not figure out the exact problem (or suggested replacing parts that did not make sense in this case). I ended up doing my own research / had a good idea of what part was malfunctioning, and then thought I'd try one last assessment - so I took it to WASHINGTON PL AUTOMOTIVE. I showed Javier where the fluid was landing, and he immediately called the problem. Although I dreaded having to hear that my water pump needed to be replaced $$$:( , I knew that I had come to the right guy. He handled the replacement within a day, and gave me a very very fair price. Knowing that I have upcoming travel plans, he checked on everything else and topped my fluids off for me with no extra charge.
I'll will use his services again.

Javier and Washington Place Automotive are the best. They have to be most honest and fair-minded auto shop in LA. I am referring all of my friends here going forward.

Javier is the man!!!! Went here after multiple places wouldn't even look at my car, Javier looked at it and immediately let me know what problems I had. Def will be coming here and no one else.
