Tom’s Car Care

I bring all of my cars to Tom Car Care for smog checks, maintenance and repairs over 10 years now. He is honest and fast. His price is very reasonable and I never had problem of bringing the car back for those items that he fixed. I highly recommend his services.

Tom is the best! I have taking my cars for years and he never cheat me with crappy stories. My last radiator job he gave me a $ 220 estimate with a new fan and when it was ready his final # was $ 236.20. Not bad at all!!! This was a thing I could fix myself but I couldn’t get the price for the fan at his discount price and I really didn’t want $ 90 for the job get in my way and don’t care for the hassle of getting dirty and is also under warranty. Not bad. Sometimes you need to keep business like Tom’s around. Honest and fast work.

Fast, reliable, super fair. Used him twice so far. First time my only clue of what was wrong was «my brakes don’t work anymore». Less than a day and $ 100 later I had cleaned and reassembled front sliding pins and rear drum adjustment! The second time I knew where I had the leak, Tom fixed it in a few hours, no shenanigans or up selling. Cash only FYI

About the only thing he doesn’t do is alignments and tire sales/​mounting/​balancing. ***Tom is one of the last true honest mechanics left.*** I’ve brought my own as well as my entire family’s fleet of vehicles here for maintenance and repair for years. When something is wearing out (such as brake pads), he’ll tell you how soon he would replace said item if it were his own car. I’ve brought one car or another in for a specific job, and he’s said «I’ll do this for you and take your money for it, but you have 5,000 more miles to go before you need to do this!». Absolutely the best place you can take your car. He never tries to sell you snake oil, or tell you your car needs anything more than it ACTUALLY does. I don’t take my cars anywhere else, unless they’re under warranty and need warranty work. One quick price comparison: Starter replacement on a 1991 Lexus LS400 about 2 years ago: Lexus dealership: In the neighborhood of ~$ 1650 Tom’s Car Care: $~$ 825 total, including a genuine Denso (Toyota/​Lexus OE electrical/​electronics supplier) starter. Half the price and the same level of skill and pride in workmanship? Yes, I’ll continue recommending this place to everyone I meet!

I go to Tom’s Car Care for everything car-​related because he’s the most affordable guy out there. Other places have tried to hussle me into services that I didn’t need. Tom on the other hand is very straightforward and will recommend other places if his auto shop can’t take in your car.
It’s a little tricky to find but if you keep you eyes open, it’s right after the 76 gas station. You can try to make a left turn into the driveway but there is no median so you might get a ticket. The safest way is to drive a little further and make a U-​turn at the next light, and then turn right into the driveway. The building is BLUE with TOM’S CAR CARE painted on the side.

I’ve been taking my car to Tom for a few years now. He’s saved me a hell of a lot of money each time I go. His prices are beyond reasonable. He’s completely honest about the work he does. His customers are all long term highly satisfied. I drive in from downtown LA to see him. He’s just that good.
100% awesome. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Notes: Small 2 bay shop. Get in there early to be the crowd. Limited seating if you plan on waiting. McDonalds up the street within walking distance.

Tom deserves more than 5 five stars! I do not say that about to many places I review, but this guy really does a great job! He is HONEST, which is hard to find when it comes to finding someone who will fix your car. His prices are more than reasonable. He is a bit far from me, but hey if the work gets done right and I only pay for work I need it is well worth it!
His shop is small so he tends to get busy and fill up really quick. He is pretty patient and will take the time to explain what you need and why you need it.
As a joke when I left today I told him, «I know I won’t see for a while… take care!»
Yeah he is that good!

I brought my Galaxie to Tom to take care of some problems and he did the job quickly and at a very reasonable price, much less than the shop I took it to in my neighborhood.

I’ve owned three used jeep cherokee’s so far and Tom’s car care has done all the maintenance work on them. His prices are very reasonable I’ve had friends who live in west los angeles drive down to get their work done at his place over the overcharged prices in their neighborhoods.
In all the years he has been spot on identifying the problems with any electrical issues I’ve had on the jeep’s
