Mastertek Ind. Honda Acura Specialist

Robert and crew have always been conscientious and fair. They only do what is needed, not upselling. Quality is top notch. I take our 4 family cars there all the time.

I was told a few months ago by the dealer where I bought my Civic that it had a broken motor mount. They said it wasn’t an emergency but explained one broken one can put stress on the others, etc., so next oil change they would do it… for $ 597.00. Now I’m giving the car to my granddaughter and wanted to fix this issue. I dropped my car off here with Al. He called me shortly and said no motor mount was broken and the car was as safe as it could be. I will be coming back to this shop whenever it’s needed! Very HONEST!!! Thank you so much.

Robert Kang and his employees did an excellent job and Robert was very honest and I would highly recommend him.

Just wanted to update. It’s 4 years later and Robert still is the best and only mechanic I trust. Excellent customer service and quality of work. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I have dealt with Robert with both my company vehicles (7) and personal vehicles (3) and have found him to be the most honest mechanic I have ever met in my 40 years of driving. I would left this review a hell of a lot earlier, if I could figure out windows 8.1! Dealing with Robert and his assistants is always a pleasure. I’ve gotten second opinions and others have always been higher. Trust this guy, he’s the best!

This is the best place to come dix your car the owners Mike and Talal are very genuine and honest. They will tell u whats wrong help u out with your car i HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMING here. Reasonable prices. When you come and get YOUR car worked on you wont want to go anywhere else. You’ll keep coming back.

Robert really worked with me on the price as well as the repair. He genuinely wants to make sure you’re satisfied and that’s an amazing quality in a mechanic. I think I’ve found my go to guy for those pesky out of my ability repairs.

Always a pleasure doing business with Robert. Great man, great service, great work. He really knows what he’s doing and he’s good at it too. Keep up the good work!

My very first time coming here and it was %100 great!!! My car is fixed and I’m loving it!!! Robert is very helpfull and accurate solving the problem of your car. you can’t go wrong with the «Master» The Best Mechanic Shop I’ve ever been!!! Thank So Much to the Masters this is gonna be my mechanic shop forever.

I have been going to Robert and Mastertek for over 8 years. I have 2 MDXs 2003 and now 2010, both being taken care of by Robert and crew. They are always professional, on-​time, and provide quality repairs at reasonable prices. Recently, Robert charged me for two repairs too low (I felt) that I had to ask him to charge more. He explained to me that it was under warranty repair and he would not charge me. If you are looking for a good quality Honda/​Acura, Toyota/​Lexus repair with honesty, this is the place.

Honest, great customer service and best of all they hire ASE Certified mechanics.
They do great work but prices were about $ 10 – 20 higher than the Acura dealership for each item down the list I had done on my car. I give them 5 stars for the quality of work they do but it will put a big dent in your wallet.

This was my first time at Mastertek and I would actually rate Mastertek a 4.5 stars, but only for lack of communication. I only got an oil change for my Mazda, nothing major. They open at 8:00. I called at 9:00 and they said they can get it done in 30 minutes.
I knew there are several auto shops at the corner of Chapman and Knott, but still had a hard time finding them. They’re in the same place as Firestone, along with several other mechanic shops – yes, auto shop row.
It was odd that no one started any paperwork. The mechanic took the car and when it was done, I paid and the mechanic said his boss wasn’t there to do the paperwork and apologized. I don’t mind.
When I got in the car and saw the oil change sticker, I went back to the 2 mechanics and asked if I should get the oil changed every 3k or 4k as their sticker said. 4,000 he said, because he put a synthetic blend in my car. Gee, thanks for telling me. I inquired more about the differences between regular oil and a synthetic blend and they were nice to explain it to me. They even showed me the oil they use.
Some of the cheaper shops charge $ 13-​$ 19.99 for an oil change, but it’s cheap oil, maybe even used motor oil. Yuck. They use really good oil, they said.
So for $ 29.99 I got an oil change with a synthetic blend, they topped off all my fluids and checked the brakes… and I was outta there in 30 minutes! Good deal. They do regular service on Mazdas, so I will be back. They don’t do tires, but that’s what the Firestone next door is for and smog checks are across the street…

After using the services of Robert for the first time many years ago, I recommended him to my dad. Today my father goes nowhere else, he thinks Robert is the best thing since popcorn. Oil changes, gaskets, tune-​ups (and telling us when we don’t need a tune-​up after we’ve brought it in for one) brake jobs and shocks all these are the reasons we see Robert. He does his job right and he’ll always be our first choice when our cars have to be inspected. You CAN trust him, He’s never fibbed to us.

The people here at Masterteck are simply amazing. I had the pleasure of dealing with Robert who helped make my car woes a thing of the past. He is incredibly certified, extremely knowledgeable, and someone who actually cares about your car. For instance, I took my car to Masterteck when I had a radiator leak and needed to replace it. He charged me a fair amount of 270 for the part and labor. But not only that, he took the time to make my car was problem-​free. I had been hearing an unusual sound when I would turn my on in the morning but I just had been deciding to ignore. Robert heard the sound and he let me know why it had been happening and how I can fix it. It turned out my auto tensioner had been failing and the sound was my timing belt moving around since it was loose. Robert informed me that this is pretty serious and if my timing belt came loose, I could have bent valves among other things and could cause serious damage to the engine. Research on the issue online confirmed what Robert had told me so it was no joke. The repairs were expensive due to the extensive labor as well as the high costs of the parts. I told him Im going to have save up money in order to get this fixed.
A few weeks later, my friend offered to help me fix my car on our own. So I decided to call Robert to see if I could get some advice on what parts I should buy and any tips. Robert actually took the time to sit down with over the phone and gave me a list of all the parts I needed in order to fix my car! He gave me his experienced advice, his time, as well as his moral support knowing that he would get nothing in return. I couldn’t be more grateful.
I highly recommend this auto shop to anyone and everyone. And I’m very picky about who I take my car to for auto repairs They prices are fair and they know exactly what they’re doing. Now I refuse to take my car anywhere else.

I usually use Unilocal for the sole purpose of bookmarking restaurants and attractions. But this auto shop was so helpful and professional, I decided to write a review/​comment on the place. My car was giving me trouble and I went to a mechanic in Cerritos. The guy there told me I had all these problems with my car. The breaks need to be changed, my transmission was on the verge of going out and my oil needed to be changed. It was going to cost me over $ 1000 to fix… I wanted a second opinion and a few of my friends recommended me to go to Mastertek Honda Acura Specialist in GG.
Turns out I only need to get my breaks fix and that was it. All of my other car parts were working just fine.
I saved a lot of money by not going to the mechanic in Cerritos.
I’ll recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

The best and most trusted mechanic ever! It’s good to have one that you can go to for reasonable prices and where the mechanic or dealer doesn’t try to sell you $ 600 performance tires for a small cheapo Honda Fit. I still cry over that one. Robert is great and honest and I would recommend him any day.

I have been taking my 2006 Acura TXS here for about as long as I have had my car. They have always been so kind and courteous to me. Robert is professional but he has a heart. As a single mom he works with me the best he can always. I am so grateful to have this place close to my work but I would refer any of my friends or family to him to work on their vehicles.

I just had 60k maintenance for my Acura TL 2009 here.
Robert is very professional, customer oriented and he provide good services
The right front wheel of my TL makes slight, but sharp metallic noise when breaking. Robert and his team took look at it and explained to me the the surface of break pad is not even, and that’s why it is making noise. He mentioned if I want to fix it, it is going to be $ 140. I am not very knowledgeable about car, so I asked him is it going to be a problem if I leave it. He said no, as long as I do not care, it is not a problem, I will eventually need to have the break surfaced anyway later on when my car reaches around 150K .
If he wanted to get some extra money from a customer, he could have said yes and do the work however he did not.
I paid $ 291 for 60K survives. I did not ask any other place for quote, so I do not know if this is the cheapest, but I think this is reasonable, and they provide excellent services.
I recommend this place to anyone.

I Had a 97 Honda Civic that Overheated and didn’t run. I called up the shop and spoke with Robert and he beat the other mechanics prices.
It turned out that I would need a new motor because of how bad my car was damaged.
Robert Was able to install my new engine and get me my car within a couple of days even with the thanksgiving weekend.
I was still a little worried about the price thinking because of the cheap price it might not run as good or It wont last but he gave me a warranty, and my car runs great.
I am a married college student with not that much money, but he helped a ton and I will be going to him if i have any issues

Arg. I feel every car reviewer as some long winded story. well. here we go.
I recently went to acura for some car warranty work (srs), where afterwards they recommended I do a coolant change, transmission fluid change, and spark plugs change. ALL THINGS I DID THE DAY BEFORE. However, also on the recommended list was to replace my front axle seal (leaking), and valve adjustments.
Given that I didn’t want to pay the rip-​off dealer prices, I looked for a place close to me.
I ended up doing the axle seal repair and the valve adjustments on my car here, with very reasonable prices. This isn’t one of those independent garages, instead it is a car shop with a nice looking plaza in a place that sells korean style phở. anyways. that is another review.
Anyhoo, I think I found my new mechanic.
