I've been going to Community Auto for almost as long as I've been in LA, which is 13 years. I was referred by a friend, and I've been going ever since. They're super accommodating, reliable, nice, and trustworthy. The best relationship I've ever had. Thanks, Pat, John, and crew!

I am not from the US and they were really lovely and helpful with my tyres and oil. Miguel in particular :) thank you!


Jul 07, 2024

Incredible staff and service.


Jul 07, 2024

This place is the best! I’ve taken my car here a few times and the service is always super fast. John is so nice and puts you at ease. The last time I brought my car in for an alternator repair, they helped reattach a part of my bumper that was hanging off free of charge. When I picked up my car, they had given it a wash a well (it was diiiiirty)! Thank you Community Auto team!!! Extra extra bonus points for the sweet cat in the office who lets you pet him.


Jun 07, 2024

Amazing services and pricing! John is a superstar!


Jun 07, 2024

Very unprofessional. Left my car two blocks away with the windows down and unlocked.


May 07, 2024

Don't trust these guys they are ghetto they will try to scare u into a repair and take advantage of your lack of knowledge about auto repairs they prey on people who don't know any better


Apr 07, 2024

I moved to LA about two years ago and I’ve been trying to find an honest mechanic to help me out with my van which is a 91 so sometimes mechanics don’t even want to work on it. John has been super understanding, super communicative and super helpful when it comes to getting my van what it needs. You can tell that he cares, and he shows that he listens. I came in a while ago for leaking coolant and they solve it immediately. They’ve done a few jobs for me and I am a fan now. I’ll definitely be back and now they are my go-to mechanic. Trust me, if you’re looking for a mechanic you can trust to do the job right and give you a great price, John and Community auto are your people. If you drive an old vehicle, they will help you!!!! new or old, super happy with them. Thank you John!!!!!

Best auto repair experience I’ve had. John really displayed incredible customer service, and took care of my problems. Extremely quick and most of all, affordable. They went the extra mile. Will be back.


Mar 07, 2024

I have been recommended this shop by my friend, Bo. I've been going to this shop for a year now. John and his team always helped me with my car. I'm always happy with their service. I totally recommend this shop.


Mar 07, 2024

It was my first time having my car fix with them and I’m very satisfied with my car after service with them , they re, very helpful , friendly, and reasonable price John and his team is absolutely best, I will for sure become theirs regular customer from now on ,oh thanks to Bo(the mechanic) for cleaning my car nicely and wash the car for.me thanks Bo I’m very appreciated


Mar 07, 2024

This is my go to shop. I know when I take my car here my car wont get misdiagnosed. I won't get ripped off. I appreciate the work that is done.


Feb 07, 2024

Do not bring your car here. I left my car here for a couple of weeks. They misdiagnosed the problem multipletimes . I took my car to the dealershp and they figured out the problem was not as serious as Community Auto Center portrayed it to be. The mechanic Mike cant be trusted.


Feb 07, 2024

Good service


Feb 07, 2024

Hands down the best mechanic I've ever been to. These guys are kind, trustworthy, and affordable. They really treat their clients great and know what they're doing. I no longer live In LA and have really struggled to find a spot I can trust like community auto.


Feb 07, 2024

I have been going to these wonderful people for years and will not go anywhere else, John and his people have never let me down, they are the most honest, fairest, dedicated, nicest, professional mechanics around. incredible staff - all of them, you will not find better.


Feb 07, 2024

I’ve been seeing John for north of 5 years. Completely trust him to fix my car and at a fair price. Always is very quick and courteous as well


Feb 07, 2024

Knowledgeable and communicative staff. That and the service and pricing are what keep me going back.


Feb 07, 2024

Only mechanic I have ever trusted. Almost restored my faith in humanity under capitalism


Feb 07, 2024

Restores my faith in humanity


Feb 07, 2024

Second time being back to fix my car, and I’ve gotten quotes from other auto shops and this place still gives the best deals. The owner and technicians are very kind, and walked me though exactly what was wrong. They were very fast, efficient, and communicative, and this is definitely my go-to!


Feb 07, 2024

The best mechanics in town. They have saved me more than I can count…fair, friendly, quality work. An excellent garage and towing too. Five stars!


Feb 07, 2024

Ugh.


Feb 07, 2024

Best mechanic in the whole area!


Feb 07, 2024

Favorite mechanic to go too! Great prices and fast service


Feb 07, 2024

Love this mechanic shop. My friend told me about them and I’ve been going ever since! Best mechanic shop in Hollywood


Feb 07, 2024

So easy going and welcoming. John (the owner) tries his best to get your car serviced as quick as possible. Definitely recommend them!


Feb 07, 2024

brother came here to fix his car and they did a great job at explaining the issues , cost and got his car back to working . i recommend them 👍🏼


Feb 07, 2023

I was there yesterday and service great customer service I do highly recommend this place 👍


Feb 07, 2023

John is great. Mike too.


Feb 07, 2023

They did a fine job on my car, but 8 months later I found out I had an outstanding parking ticket from an unpaid meter that happened while my car was with them. They never even told me and thought burying it under the rug would fix it. It didn’t, and now I’m out a parking ticket and late fee. Very disappointed.


Feb 07, 2023

This is the best and most honest mechanic in Los Angeles. I’ve known John since he first started (working with his father). It’s the quintessential mom & pop place that you can call anytime for advice that you can trust. They have never asked me to write a review and have always been there when I’ve needed them (I drove a 2000 RAV4 for 20 years and now I’m there with my 2020 Kia Soul. I will continue with them for every car I have)—It’s reassuring to know the staff and know what you are getting.


Feb 07, 2023

Very helpful and treated my partner and I kindly. After comparing 5 places, they gave a fair price as well.
