Covina Auto Repair & Service

Never had a reason to write a review until now. We have been taking our cars here for many years. Safi is amazing. Honest, reliable and incredibly reasonable. They’ve kept all our vehicles in great shape and done repair and body work after an accident through insurance. We could not recommend them more.

After reading all these great reviews thought I could trust the shop… its not «nice» (as one reviewer said) its a pigsty, unsafe, and mr safi is very unorganized. He literally tripped over his own telephone cord as I caught him in his own lies… Quoted one price and charged twice as much. Literally walking around in circles looking for a pen, then lost my car keys. My fault for believing the reviews probably written by staff and or good friends and family. I was truly suckered, my fault for trusting and not getting that quote in writing before the service.

Safi is the only mechanic I trust and I have been going to him since 1999. I commute 40 miles just to see him and he has saved me thousands of dollars.

I have used Safi as my Mechanic since he opened at this location. He is reliable, honest, polite and knowledgeable. He has kept my 1989 Ford van running in top condition. I never have had a reason to get a second opinion on repairs he has suggested. His service prices are great. No complaints here! Thanks!

I know this place is extremely far from me but I can’t find a more reliable mechanic Mr. Safi is fantastic he is so nice reasonably priced and honest and I’m telling you it is impossible to find an honest mechanic I can’t say enough about this place he always finds a way to fix my car within my budget

Honest guys who really help you repair your cars at reasonable prices, without trying to over sell you like others usually do. Ive been taking all my cars to Safi for about 10 years now.
Great place…

i’ve been taking my car to Safi for years. he is an honest and hardworking mechanic. he does a great a job and is a sweet man too. i live in hollywood and drive to Covina, which is a 45 minute drive if traffic isn’t bad, just to get an oil change. thats how good this guy is!

It is extremely hard to find a trustworthy mechanic that truly cares about their customers. I have been going to Mr. Safi for years now and can honestly say there is not a better mechanic out there! He is honest and affordable. I now drive about 60 miles when my car needs service because I refuse to take it anywhere else. Mr. Safi is very friendly and is one of the only mechanics that won’t rip you off.

I recommend this place 100. Excellent servise excellent people. Ask for safi or omar mechanics that know what they are doing. Over all an exellent experience

Honest mechanics are hard to find. The owner of this place Mr Safi really cares for it’s customers and is very honest. This place came highly recommended by my co worker and I gotta say I usually hate dealing with mechanics not at this place.

How refreshing to find a mechanic that knows what he is doing, is honest and very reasonable. Ask for Mr. Safi and you will see what I’m talking about. He’s a funny guy, so I don’t what the review below was talking about.
I’ve been getting my work done at another shop for a while because their prices were cheap. Now I understand why. The other place used cheap parts. It seems like I was going through brakes rather fast so on a tip from a friend, I decided to try a new place and give this place a chance. They showed me why this was happening. First the pads were really cheap quality and on top of that they were put on wrong and one of the pads was broken. There is a piece behind the pad that was not put on. How scary, my wife was driving my kids around like this… wow. Why would a mechanic skimp on something so important just to make a few bucks? So needless to say they fixed this with good quality stuff, but what was AMAZING was that they figured out something wrong with the emergency brake (the emergency brake hadn’t been working for some time) and they went ahead and fixed it at no extra charge. It’s nice to see people who go above and beyond and not just to find things to charge extra for.
I also asked for a radiator flush because the car overheated (not all the way– just more than normal) a few months back. He checked it all out for me and talked me out of it, because he saw no evidence of a leak ever. The other place would have taken me to town if I would have suggested them doing this.
Finally, when I came to pick up my car, I over heard him with another customer and he was explaining what needed to be done to her car and he made suggestions to save her money and not to do certain things she asked for because she had more time before that work needed to be done. How cool was that? My wife has been taken advantage of by mechanics before because she doesn’t understand and here this guy was giving her the same good service he was giving me. This just confirmed the tip I was given by my friend.
If you need a good honest mechanic, give this guy a try. I came all the way from Long Beach and he was worth it.

Please do not go here! The machanic Savi is not a machanic whom likes to talk to the costumers, he is very short and he favors this line «I’ll look at it and go from there». No helpful at all and in fact he told me my car was to confusing for him. I took my car there for one problem and ended up with two more problems. He ruined my clutch and electric system. Please if you love your car and don’t want headaches don’t go here! I hope this review cost him as much money as he made me waste. Bad!

This place deserves a little bit of love. I have not seen any reviews on this shop so I was scared to use their serves. The shop is nice, they have multiple car lifts and seemed to be more then qualified.
I brought my car there because my brakes were making a grinding noise. I had first taken my car to American Tire for this problem. They checked my brakes and said they spun my rotors and said they did not find any problem and did not charge me. The problem was that the noise still continued. So I took my car to Covina Auto Repair and they told me they could spin my rotors for $ 70 or replace they for $ 150. I had them replaced and the problem stopped. The service was quick and professional and I was satisfied with the price. I will come back again.
