Labor rates across California vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.

I was traveling from out of state when I had a transmission issue. Sergio did a great job of explaining the process. They exchanged the transmission fluid on my truck and saved me a few hundred dollars from the dealership price. I travelled home over 1600 miles without any issues. Iβm glad they were recommended to me!

Highly recommend this spot! Sergio really cares and was beyond helpful. I appreciate that he recommended I take my car to the dealership to see if the repair is covered under warranty vs having it done there too.

This place is a complete ripoff. Iβve come here for years because theyβre in the neighborhood and have decent reviews, but theyβve officially lost my business after this last time. Their prices are consistently astronomical and their work quality is poor. Multiple times over the years Iβve come here, paid for a diagnostic, paid their insane prices for the work they recommend, and driven off their lot only to find a week later the problem still exists. This last time it happened yet again - only this time when I returned to them with the same unresolved issue, they tried to rope me into paying another $1,700 on top of the $1,000 Iβd already paid them. $2,700 to fix an oil leak and a coolant leak? I went to Johannβs Independent Mercedes in Hollywood to get a second opinion, and they did the job the same day for less than $800.

I had a fantastic experience with Joy Automotive Service & Repair. Jesse and his crew were outstanding from start to finish. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. Jesse kept me informed every step of the way, which I really appreciated especially since the repair involved dealing with a third-party extended warranty company. He handled everything smoothly and made the whole process much less stressful. What really stood out to me was how fair and honest their pricing is. Iβve worked with several mechanics before and havenβt always had the best experiences, but Joy Automotive was completely transparent and trustworthy. Iβve always taken my Jeep to the dealership for service, but after this experience, I can confidently say Joy Automotive is hands-down better when it comes to pricing, turnaround time, and communication. The complimentary car wash at the end was a really nice bonus too. Highly recommend Jesse and his team!

I had an amazing experience at Joy Automotive. Sergio helped me throughout the entire process and was outstanding with communication. During the inspection, everything was extremely organized and presented in a clear electronic formatβhe sent a link with photos and easy-to-understand explanations of everything that was found. Sergio was incredibly transparent and fair with pricing, and he took the time to walk me through the repairs and actually educate me instead of rushing or talking over my head. Since Iβm not very well-versed in automotive issues, I especially appreciated that he even took the time to speak with my dad to make sure we were all comfortable with the decisions being made. The repairs were completed in a timely manner, and they also provided a rental car, which was a huge help. Overall, the customer service and level of care were exceptional. I truly felt safe, respected, and taken care ofβwhich is huge for me after past experiences where I felt taken advantage of. I will absolutely be returning and highly recommend Joy Automotive.
