V-tec Automotive

Got my Honda Accord fixed @ Vtech Automotive today, 2÷22÷16 and Oliver did an AWESOME job. Had a water pump & timing belt replaced!!!
Oliver was very professional & fair with his prices. Friendly & honest!!! Thanks Oliver for the AWESOME service!!! I will be back!

Knows his stuff! OLIVER diagnosed the problem on my HONDA CIVIC without even looking at it. He told me he didn’t even want to charge me to go in with a camera because he was sure but if I wanted to pay for the peace of mind I could do it. I paid and sure enough it was exactly what he said. He used to work for the Honda dealership but is more honest and prices seem to be reasonable although it’s always hard to tell. But I felt like I could definitely trust him. He won’t tell you you need something fixed if you don’t! THE LAST HONEST MECHANIC. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO SEE HIM FIRST.

My family has been letting Oliver fix our Honda Accord for more than 15 years. From our first 1993 Honda Accord, then our 2005 Honda Accord, and recently we bought a 2013 accord. You can say our family really likes Honda in general, especially my dad. Recently our 2005 Honda Accord had a engine mount issue… We got it replaced by another mechanic but turns out they used a bad quality engine mount made in China… Oliver realized and fixed the problem right away. He also pointed out that there are two engine mounts in a car and because the previous mechanic used made in China products, it affected the other engine mount causing both to fail which caused our car to shake when the vehicle is not in motion and the engine noise was very loud. After Oliver replaced both parts, there was a major difference in engine noise. Now the car runs like new. We highly recommend Oliver to anybody who is looking to get their Honda or Acura vehicle repaired. He does a great job, helps you save some money on repairs and does not do unnecessary repairs in an attempt to earn more money.

If you own a Honda or Acura, you definitely need to take your car to Oliver to get serviced. I’ve taken my car to Oliver for over 10 years now and my parents have for even longer. Everyone is really friendly and they’re very honest about what needs to be fixed or replaced. I would keep buying a Honda or Acura just to keep my mechanic!

Excellent service and price. Had Oliver fix the knock sensor issue on my GFs Honda CRV. These guys are extremely friendly and professional.

So I found this great shop since I was looking for a place to fix my Acura TL, and just like how the review says, Oliver treated me with kindness and genuine service that you cannot find anywhere else! I truly got the best service I could ask for since he gave me a discount of $ 35 dollars even though it was my first time there! He even used extra transmission fluid just to wash out the dirty residues. 12 quarts of fluids to be exact. That is a lot since you only need 3 and a half quarts to fill the transmission. I almost cried because he felt like my long lost father because he was so nice… I was expecting at least 500 dollars for fixing the sensor of the transmission plus the fluid change and replacing hood shocks but wow… only 386 dollars. I love this place and Oliver. Will be coming next time again.

I found an honest honda mechanic! I was referred here by a co-​worker. He looked at my car and told me what I needed to do to fix my brake issue. Although he could have told me I needed to do a brake job, he just said I needed a roter alignment. Oliver did a great job!

This place was fantastic! My CRV had a bunch of problems and they took care of all of them! Very upfront, honest and fair with all costs. I would definitely go back and recommend them to anyone.

Came here because my usual mechanic was on vacation and Unilocalers gave this place great reviews. Boy am I glad I found this place because I ended up paying only half of what my usual mechanic quoted me for repairs. Oliver seems to be a very honest business man and it shows because he seems to have consistent business even on slow days. I will be bringing my prelude and all future Honda cars here from now on.

I’m here with my wife 2004 Honda, the dash screen went bad. Oliver is the man that can replace the circuitry necessary to alleviate the problem.
This IS the place to have your Honda service. The price is affordable too.

Visited this place many times. Bf (now hubby) has always gone to at least get a second opinion, while I normally come over here to top off on liquids and get a quick maintenance check.
Service is excellent. The owner is on point, very honest, and tells you what you need to hear. Which means that if something can go for another thousand miles or so, just come back later and get it done after the thousand miles. He’ll take care of things that are important to do, but will not do anything major unless you want it done. He knows his stuff, and can truly tell the history of a car. For example, he had an idea that I probably purchased the car used, and had an idea of how the previous owner drove the car. Very interesting deduction skills! :) Plus, he’s super-​nice, knowledgeable, and very professional.
For seats, there are two chairs inside the office, and two chairs outside the office. Otherwise, you can do what the hubby and I do, which is walk around the area until the car is ready.
Prices are very fair.
Will be back. :) Be warned that he gets very busy on Saturdays (closed Sundays), and any major work to be done near the holidays will be very difficult for him to do unless you come on a weekday.

I decided to give Vtech Automotive a try because of the perfect 5 star ratings that Oliver and his crew received on Unilocal.I normally change my own oil but due to a recent injury I couldn’t do it this time around. Oliver was super friendly super nice to me. He did not try to nickel and dime me at all which I truly appreciated. Service was fast and very reasonable pricing. If you own a Honda or Acura you definitely need to bring your car to Oliver instead of the stealership.

Yup, all these reviews sound spot on. Oliver didn’t even want a tip after I told him, he saw me in my work uniform and said he works for $ like me. Overall good and trusting. Even showed me pics.

Oliver is great and the most honest mechanic you can find. He will tell you honestly if you need a repair done right away or if you can wait on it. His prices or extremely responsible. I will only bring my Honda to him for service.

I have cars and repair needs for thirty years, and have gone thru Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and Maserati specialists.
You need both the skills and the integrity — lacking either, customer is screwed.
Oliver is both skilful and honest. And practical, too. There are some repairs that simply won’t make sure considering the age of the car or intended use frequency.
He is sought after so can be busy, so for non-​emergency work make an appt. that would work for him.
I highly recommend him and will continue to entrust him with my 2000 Odyssey.

This place is great! Fast, reliable and REALLY fair priced! Oliver is really courteous and extremely thorough. Really nice guy! He even called to follow up. Definitely will recommend and return!

I’ve always had a great experience with Oliver when i take my wifes Acura MDX there. I’m sure we all have had bad days where we are a bit stressed and overwhelmed, hence a few bad reviews from people recently with Oliver. Afterall, he does get lots of repeat business because he is that good and people trust him. And that’s why I’m giving him 5 stars because I’ve personally experienced all this with him. He checks if you have any recalls before starting work and tells you exactly what you absolutely need done and tries to save you money if he can. Make sure you make an appt… don’t just show up, it guarantees that he makes time look at and work on your car.

Oliver has always been fair and done a great job, never tries to sell you something you don’t need and is totally honest. Some things may be a little more expensive since he uses official Honda parts, but I would rather give my money to a great mechanic that knows what he’s doing and does a great job on top of using the best parts for your vehicle. I will always bring my car in to Oliver even for simple oil changes.

WORST BUSINESS… EVER! Are you kidding me? Who’s paying these people to write him 5 star reviews? I’m quite sure it’s the owner himself. We were disappointed and let down by the place. RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE. My friend, who also used him, got ripped off by $ 3500. BE CAREFUL!
Anyway, onward with my experience — I called in on a Friday morning to inquire about getting a new timing belt for my car. Was completely let down as we arrived. Owner (Oliver) decided to be extremely rude and patronizing towards us. When we asked when he was available to help me with my timing belt, he says «COME BACK TUESDAY. » Apparently he’s too busy and good for us. Really? He also says that he won’t take a look at my vehicle at all. Super arrogant. I took a look at his shop. Realllllly? It’s not all that. I’ve seen WAY, WAY BETTER, especially in the cities of LA and OC. Who the F does he think he is?
Without wincing, we walked out of there and headed over to a close family’s BODY SHOP even though it was an hour away. He took us in without question, without having to speak a word. All I handed him were my keys. He also didn’t charge us for labor. at all. Oh my god. I literally experienced the night vs. day of service.
Because of this — Oliver, at this place, will NEVER get any business from me or my family. And I’ll tell ALL of my friends that I know. His lack of PROFESSIONALISM is evident but the people around this neighborhood are too ignorant to know. Better run before you end up getting ripped off or treated like crap!

Best Honda mechanic… ever!
I just had the breaks in my car serviced and as usual they did a fantastic job. It’s hard to find a good mechanic who is honest, forthright, and dependable. That’s why Oliver and his repair shop, V-​tec Automotive, is such a find.
I’ve never liked going to Honda Dealer’s for service because although the quality of their work is okay and they use original parts, you wait too long. Sometimes, it takes over half a day to get an oil change. It’s also expensive. Additionally, personnel in dealerships can sometimes be arrogant and forget that they are performing a service for you, the customer.
With other independent car mechanics, you’re just not sure what you’re going to get. You never know if repairs were performed to spec, if they used the parts they’re charging, or if the repair is even necessary.
With V-​tec it’s a different story.
I’ve taken all my cars to Oliver for over 20 years. In fact, he is the reason why I only buy Honda’s and Acura’s. Here’s an example of some of the things he does without even being asked: he returns the old part; he lets you know what repairs are necessary, what your options are, and helps you prioritize repairs; if necessary, he shows you exactly what he’s talking about.
Another upside is his parts and labor pricing is very reasonable, bordering on the low end. This is great but it also worries me because I want him to stay in business for a very long time.
Oliver and his crew are honest dependable mechanics who are also wonderful people. If you have a Honda or an Acura, this is the only place you should take it to be serviced.
I highly recommend V-​tech Automotive!
