ServiceLex

Very professional and excellent service. Shop is clean and well-​maintained. I felt the technician was very honest and personally showed me where there was a problem and what was good. He did more work then I asked for, and free of charge! Will definitely be going to him for all my Toyota and Lexus needs Oil changes to repairs.

If you’re looking for an honest car repairman… than Carlos is your man! I took my car into have my rear brake pads replaced because Lexus of Woodland Hills said it was a matter of safety to have them done soon. Well to my surprise, Carlos told me that it wasn’t as dire as they had made it out to be. I still have some time before I need it pads need to be replaced. Thank you Carlos for being an honest man!

Got an oil change for the car. Great customer and vehicle service. Will be back. Thank you.

Took the car in to get the brakes done and the mechanic, carlo, did a great job. He found other problems with my car that needed attention. Reliable, fast and a great guy. Reasonable prices. Better than other mechanics and he guaranteed his work.

AMAZING. HANDS DOWN.
Took 2007 Prius in for service work. Carlos was amazing and did all the work for less than half for what the Toyota dealer would have charged. Affordable, fast, and amazing service. Highly recommended for Toyotas and Lexus’.
I will not go anywhere but here for car work from now on. The garage was organized, clean, and smelled great too. My car is a new car now! Thanks so much!

My friend Willie referred me to this mechanic and look into an issue I have with my REX (CRX).
In the back of my mind, his shop says ServiceLex which I think specializes in Toyota and Lexus however mines a Honda.
Anyhow, Willie assured me that he used to work for Lexus /​Toyota dealership for over 10 years before he opened up his own shop and Carlo (owner) is now working on his Acura.
So I thought, as long as it’s in Japanese arena, why not.
I talked with the owner, Carlo, and explained my issue with my CRX (REX) why it wouldn’t start. My little car that could, of over 25 years of age, I still think she still have plenty of life left just have some minor tinkering. After Carlo was able to diagnose the issue with my CRX, it was up and running.
To my amazement, Carlo is truly a life saver with my baby. My CRX is alive once again.
I am so happy to have my Friend Willie refer me to Carlo.
His shop is super clean. It’s like one of those Luxury service places, of which I cannot walk on in without wearing something like Gucci or Armani things. It’s truly clean.
That says so much about a mechanic. A clean shop, means he truly cares his work environment, and if his shop is really that clean, imagine how much care he would on his client’s vehicles.
I am stashing my Hybrid now because my CRX still gets better gas.
Thank you so much Carlo.
Oh, another thing, it was a complementary diagnosis service for me, super Awesome.

After 30 years at the beach, I met a gal and she «informed me» it was time to settle down. While some of the adjustments have been more traumatic than others, I’m happy to report that finding a new mechanic to replace my reliable old wrench, John has been a surprisingly pleasant experience.
Located just a few blocks northeast of the Topanga Mall, Carlo’s ServiceLex is exactly what I was looking for… dealership level service at neighborhood prices. To date, he has seen three of my four vehicles: A ’97 Lexus, LS 400 was first and a GMC Acadia and pickup after that.
Focusing on the Lexus which is, of course, their specialty, I came in with a variety of problems: a check engine light that led to broken pollution controls hidden behind the engine, tune-​ups, oil changes, worn out suspension pieces and, most recently, a dead power steering system. While all issues were handled quickly and reasonably, it was the last one that really impressed me.
Having worked on my own cars since the 70’s, I like to think I know my way around a garage. That said, I now prefer to stay clean and let the experts do it. When the power assist on my steering failed prior to the move, I took it into John to assess the damage. Cost for rebuilt rack and pinion steering assembly: $ 750 + labor. Made sense, the car is 18 years old, but for that, I’ll steer harder.
Once moved to the Valley and facing the prospect of having my daughter drive it, I had to come correct. Enter Carlo… and here’s the point… as a dealership mechanic of 15 years, he knows the tricks! Instead of the aforementioned replacement, he knew to service it instead! NEW cost: one hour labor… $ 80!!! Customer. For. Life.
As to the rest of it, the shop is spotless and overseen by his charming wife Nancy. Female customers are welcome and treated with integrity and respect. When you have to pay Carlo, you will drive out certain of three things: you needed the work, it was done well and you paid a fair price for it.
If you own a Lexus or Toyota and don’t feel like paying the «dealership» rate, give ServiceLex a shot. Odds are you’ll become a regular too.

You want one on one service?
This is the place.
Friendly
Family owned and ran.
Feel the quality, and care was dead on.
Looking for that honest mechanic?
Carlo made you feel just that.

I took my Lexus for service of a broken mirror, and Carlo gave me a ballpark quote that was lower than the dealership. However, once he had the VIN of my car, he called later the same day with surprising news… the mirror for my model was actually a little cheaper than the ballpark estimate! If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been unfairly overcharged for auto repairs at a Lexus dealership, then I highly recommend getting a quote from ServiceLex. The mirror was fixed perfectly, and I plan on returning again. Not only did Carlo earn my business, but he earned my trust as well.

I’ve been looking for a good, honest mechanic for a while and it wasn’t until last week that I finally found someone who I genuinely trust leaving my car with. As soon as I pulled in, Carlos greeted me and asked me what was going on with my car. I started to explain what had happened and he had me open my hood so he could start taking a look. Quickly, he found one of the problems with my car which was a damaged wire that was sparking. He took the time to explain what he was looking at and looking for. He gave me a list of what was likely going to need to be changed. He said he was going to take a closer look and run a diagnostic test so I had to leave my car. Thankfully, I left it in good hands! He called me later to let me know what was going to need to be replaced and how much. He gave me some info about the parts and told me the car wouldn’t take much longer to be ready. The car ended up being ready before 5 and Carlos explained everything he fixed/​tuned under the hood. He also explained another code that came up on the diagnostic report but assured me it was an issue we could hold off on which was good because I was on a budget. The overall cost was more than fair and he even replaced one of my headlight bulbs without charging me.
TLDR; Carlos is a legit mechanic who is polite and honest. I don’t leave many reviews but I hope I’m at least able to help one person (especially because mechanics always try to rip off girls) have their car issues resolved by someone who knows what they’re doing and won’t overcharge you.
