Cha’s Auto

Thank you very much for working on my car, I thought it would take days to fix all my car problems but it only took hours awesome thank you all that worked on my car.

Great customer service. Fast and friendly — will be going back for sure!

Hands down the best mechanic in town. Honest, quality, reasonably priced, customer service oriented service which is not characteristic for most in this profession. I only wish I had started taking my car to Cha’s sooner.

I’ve been coming here every other year for smog check ever since DMV started requiring it for my car. One of the reasons I choose Cha’s over the others is the honest price. Apart from excellent service, I usually get in and out within 10 – 15 minutes and today was no different. Except that I didn’t notice one of my break lamps was busted. Mr. Cha replaced it himself, made sure it works, and didn’t charge a single cent for the new bulb and installation. That was beyond the service I expected from his shop. I was very grateful. Thank you, Mr. Cha!

Been family mechanic for years. Every employee gives great service. Can’t trust any other mechanic but this place honest not only with work but also with he price. Service is also fast but well done.

I’ve been going here for years and they always give me the best service with the best HONEST prices. The only mechanic I will go to EVER!

Hands down the best place to go. I’ve been getting my smog here for both my vehicles. One time I couldn’t pass smog on one of my cars and one of the mechanics took his time and asked me let me see what’s wrong. In my head I thought he would charge me but instead he found out y it wasn’t passing and told me what to do so listening to him i did the work myself brought the car back and right away i passed the smog check. For a mechanic to jus stop what he was doing and to take a look at my problem I really appreciated it. So I would recommend this place to everyone. Also about this place it’s nice and clean open area for work space and customers. And close to home not even 5min…

Got my car smog done here and they had a car ahead. Talked to the guy and asked if I could leave the keys and paper work and I woulf be back and he said ok.
When to eat and to walk around and when I got back a few minutes later it was done and only paid $ 45 bucks with certificate.

Brought my 2008 G35 to replace my rotors and brake pads (I bought the rotors and brake pads he did the labor only) and he did an awesome job and for a fair price. He even went out of his way to school me a little bit about brake systems, he rotated my tires, checked all the fluid levels in my car and drove the car around the block to make sure the brake system was good. I will be coming back if I ever need future work on my cars.

Very trust worthy people. Cha is a great man. He will guarantee your car as long as it goes understand his garage. Brought my wife’s scion in right before they closed. And still got my car in. Finished In 15 mins. Full synthetic oil. Got a new screw in (since it was cracked do to being over tighten from. other mechanics).
And yet. they saw a screw on a tire. and fixed it. Quick fix. Amazing work. Highly recommend them. I brought my truck in 1995 chevy Silverado and dis an amazing job. Truck runs great. I will definitely come back.

If you are seeking to get air in your tires, don’t bother! The owner was dismissive and rude. So, I decided not to continue doing business with him e.g. as smog checks, tune up, etc. I prefer to spend my money where it is appreciated. Oops… maybe that is why he was not interested in putting air in my tires… no money will exchange hands.
Very disappointed in him!

When I drove my car in, unannounced, this morning, I was expecting to leave it there and get a call the next day telling me what the damages would be. Instead, a totally sweet, chivalrous mechanic took my car, raised it on the racks, figured out what the problem was and fixed it for me in minutes. He explained to me what the issue was, and showed me the rock which had been stuck between the rotor and the axle. I asked him what I owed him and he said, «nothing, next time!» There will absolutely be a next time! Honest, friendly, trustworthy service… wow, I feel so lucky that Cha’s is so close to my house because they have my devotion forever!!!

Great car service center! This venue offers limited car service options such as oil changes, brake service, and smog checks. I came solely for the Smog Check service. Upon arrival, a worker greeted me and explained that someone was ahead of me finishing up a smog check. I only waited about 15 minutes, and they started on my car. The worker then explained the process of the smog check and that it would only take 20 minutes. To my surprise, the worker connected the gadgets needed for the check and was able to complete the whole process in 15 minutes! Service was welcoming, friendly, and quick! I recommend this place to anyone!

My family has been going to Cha’s for three generations. If I ever go anywhere else, it is never as great as my experiences here.
The workers here are so kind, helpful, and happy. I always receive such a warm greeting when I arrive here which is so refreshing for an auto shop. Also, this shop has a well deserved reputation for being the most honest shop around. Cha’s has very reasonable prices and I am so lucky that I live so close.
They don’t have a typical lounge area (room inside with a tv), but instead they have a table and some chairs outside under a canopy. I actually prefer this, because I can see everything they are doing to my car. I have nothing but great things to say about Cha’s Auto!

You couldn’t find a more honest mechanic. Very reasonable prices. a friend at work told me about cha’s and I have been going there every since.

i’d say erica’s review is dead on… i’ve been going to chas’ for about 5 years, and he always sets things straight, for a reasonable price… i bring all of my cars there… one thing to note is that ‘all car repair’ shops in long beach ‘need’ to charge higher prices than surrounding cities due to local taxes, but the small amount extra that is paid, easily makes up for the superior service and honesty found at cha’s auto…

If you’re looking for an honest to goodness down to earth kind of guy, this is the place to go. A lot of mechanics will try to up sell you stuff your car doesn’t necessarily need. We started going to Cha’s for oil changes. He never tries to sell me air filters or whatever else the dealer might try to sell you unless my car really needs it. We moved about 10 – 15 miles away from Cha’s and we still take our cars here. An honest mechanic is hard to find. This place is a keeper.
