Autobahn Tire & Automotive Centers

LONG OVERDUE REVIEW (sorry Alan, I never forgot about you and your shop when I’m finally back to the East coast!)
So I did my first ever oil change in California in Pasadena after a six-​day drive from Boston, and it happened to be Alan’s shop I chose in the end. I brought my own OEM Subaru filter for a Mobile 1 Full synthetic 5w-​30 oil change (6 quarts), and for $ 62 the service is very good.
Low key, down-​to-​earth, simple and direct — these are attributes of Alan the owner and his mechanic. If I come to LA again, I will only visit here for anything automotive related.

LONG overdue review (sorry Alan, but I had a family issue).
I broke down in Pasadena (live in Downey) and limped into the first place I saw. The guy across from Autobahn couldn’t be bothered to help, so I went across the lot. A bolt had come off my right front brake caliper. Alan couldn’t find one, so he sent me down the street to the O’Reilly Auto Parts. They had the bolt, but I’d left my wallet in my car which was up on Alan’s lift. Shout out to O’Reilly for letting me leave my house key and come back with the money. Got back to Autobahn, we got my car put back together, and I asked Alan how much, dreading the screwing I was about to get. He waved me off and told me to forget it. How many times has that happened to you? Don’t recall it ever happening to me when I was stranded a long way from home. I forced a 20 into Alan’s hand and made my way back to Downey. I wish I was closer, I’d take my car there every time I needed a mechanic. Those of you who live in the area should do the same. Can’t thank you enough Alan!!!

This is a pretty good place for a oil change, tire change. They don’t try to up sell you, and if you turn down a recommendation, they don’t push it. They also show you live every problem they find (which happened to me, when Costco broke my lug nut), And they ask if I want it fixed, and quote me the price, before just performing it. I think this is a pretty good place, hassle free and pretty fast too.

I’ve been going to Alan for years, before I even started driving. My mom always took me here when she need anything for her car, when I say anything I mean it. Alan will take care of your car and won’t over charge for it either!
I always get my oil changes from him as well as the occasional flat tire –_​– which I get more often than I’d like ha. But Alan definitely does the job quick and does it right!

I’ve been going to Alan for years. I think at least four cars ago! He is reliable, dependable, respectful and caring. He also tells me how it is — I didn’t change my oil soon enough last time (the car kept beeping, so I believe him!) and he told me to be better. I will, I promise! Thanks Alan, for all the oil changes over the years!

Alan and Avo are AMAZING! I might have to make some space for them in my suitcase when I move across the country, because I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my poor, beaten up baby.
First of all, my car is a hot mess. Like, to the point where I can’t tell if a huge dent on the car is new or has been there for years. In any case, they treat it’s their own. They’ve done some major repairs (including a transmission replacement with a refurbished transmission) and some more routine repairs (brakes, radiator, alignments). My car feels like a million bucks when it leaves that shop.
They are so incredibly thorough. I know that it is the best price I can get ANYWHERE, so I don’t have to cringe when they go under the hood and find additional problems.
They have gone above and beyond for me, even driving my car to my apartment when they finished work on it while I was on vacation (yes, really).
Seriously unreal service. I’m so, so grateful for their kindness and integrity. We (me and the messed up car) are so lucky!

My wife has been taking her car to Alan for over a decade. Since I met her, I have too, and at this point, I can’t imagine going to anyone else. He’s always honest and has the best prices. It’s hard to find a mechanic you can trust, much less one you can afford. Alan is a one of a kind. He’s a good person. It’s obvious. When I take my car in for something big or small, I know they’ll do the job right, it’ll be affordable, and fast. I can’t recommend Alan highly enough!

I’ve been taking my cars to Alan at Autobahn for years. Used to think it was just tires, then asked his opinion on something that I thought was too high priced at the dealer. He knew all about it, and fixed it an a jiffy for way less than what the dealer wanted. Alan gives honest answers, is very knowlegible and will fix the problem. I have never had a non-​tire issue that he couldn’t fix. So, I use him for everything related to my cars. Great prices! You can trust this guy! So happy to have found him. I love to support guys like this, you should too.

I went here many years ago for an alignment. the tech damaged my car on the rack. I sued them and won, I still have not seen a dime from the lawsuit. i can’t believe they are still in business.

I take my cars here for oil changes, tires, & brakes. The guy gives honest estimates and has reasonable prices. He is very knowledgeable so ask for his advice – he has not steered me wrong in the last 10 years, especially with tires & brakes. Definitely better than going to the dealer. Even the local Honda dealer sends him cars to repair.

It doesn’t get any better than this guy. Honest, straight talk, great service, knowledge and experience. I drive from Huntington Beach for anything I can’t do myself, and I normally hate traffic. He’s the type of person that should get 5 stars from everyone.
