H & H Motors

John is the best there is. I’ve been going to H&H for 20 plus years. He not only keeps my vintage 380 SL in mint condition, my 1998 Ford Explorer is like new thanks to John. Before you go anywhere else, stop in to H&H You’ll. Never go anywhere else!

I had my 2010 BMW 328i tuned up and general checked here recently. The car had 43,000 miles on it. They replaced parts, charged a total of $ 193.30, plus labor, $ 160.00. Told me that my car was in a decent condition, can run a long while. Service persons were polite, cordial and very efficient. I was glad that I used their service instead of dealing with BMW dealership. That might charge much more for a similar job and keep me waiting and waiting to get my car back.

I did not have work done here, I wish I did though after speaking with them on the phone I can say for a fact that this shop its truthful and has commitment to the customer, I let them know the issues I was having with my vehicle and right away they told me they do not have experience with my engine on my Audi and recommended people that do, they said they know German cars very well but not many people come in with my particular engine and told me right there that they would not want to risk putting me in a worst situation if they messed up, that to me is honesty you do not find at many mechanics, they were very polite on phone and still gave me a run down of what the issue may be and what an appropriate repair quote should look like, I will be bringing my other Audi’s to them for sure. They know what they are doing and are honest with cheapest labor ive yet to find.

We were in town for a few days and our airbag indicator light came on our daughter’s 2007 VW Jetta. I found H&H Auto on Unilocal which had all 5 star reviews (which, as you know, is very rare). We brought it by H&H and John spent 15 minutes hooking up his laptop under our dash and printing out the codes for us. He said it was the passenger seat belt assembly and wiring and said he could do it for $ 200 – 300. We needed it fixed within 2 days before leaving town… John was very honest with us and said he had one of his mechanics on jury duty and wouldn’t be able to fix it for us that quickly. He didn’t charge us for his time or work and even gave me the printouts of the codes. I then brought it by the VW dealership across the street, and they said they could fix it within our 2 day window. It would be $ 125 minimum for them to do the same thing John did in 15 minutes for free, then they would then call me with an estimate. VW fixed our car by the next day for only $ 539!

Been coming to john for 10 plus years. He was referred to me by my dad who used to know John’s partner Helgut. Always a top notch job and will always return for any vw related work. Will highly recommend to anyone needing a mechanic.

rude oriental man who did nothing but try to cheat me. Stay away from this place. They are overpriced and not efficient. I waited for them to check my car, they didn’t even have the decency to tell me it was checked, I had to go inside and ask them when it was finished and they said its been done 30 minutes ago. I was so angry. You cant tell me your car is done? Also they took two minutes to check out my car, and it stopped on my way home!

Best place around. Even replaced my wipers for free. I insisted he did a tune up and he wouldn’t do it yet because he said my car didn’t need it yet. Fast and best price. Won’t try and cheat you.

Quick & thorough service, honesty & integrity. Everything you could possibly want in a mechanic. I won’t be going anywhere else first for my automotive needs. Their reputation on Unilocal is both legit and well deserved. THIS is the first place I’ll go from now on. Thank you John!

Can’t say enough good things about this business. I’ve been coming here for past 8 years or so. It’s hard to find a mechanic you can trust, but John is very straightforward and honest. If he feels something doesn’t need immediate repair, he’ll tell you whereas other mechanics will tack on as much additional work as possible. If he says something needs fixing, I fully trust him. I was referred to him by a friend who praises John’s business for their honesty and clarity. His labor charges are half what the dealership charges across the street too. Your car is in good hands with him!

I own a new Audi A5 that needed service and John took care of it… John’s very professional really appreciate his expertise… Thank you

i used to bring my 66 VW to this place from 1968 until about 1980, it was strictly a German car repair place then. it was owned by Hans and Henry, who i think are brothers. They were older guys even then. They had German accents. They had my car running perfectly all the time. Very nice guys too. After 1980, i didn’t have a VW and i moved to Santa Monica and i stopped going there. Recently, living in the Valley again, i wanted to find a good mechanic for my Honda and my Prius, so i looked on Unilocal and to my surprise, found H&H, same shop.
I guess around the time i stopped going, they started working on Japanese cars and around that time, the current owner, John, started working there. I took my Civic in recently and had the kind of experience other reviewers report here. He gave me a fair reasonable low end estimate on the repair, the work was done same day when promised, and when i picked the car up, the price was quite a bit less than he had said it would be. When i pointed this out, he said that it took less labor time than he thought. This kind of thing doesn’t happen that often, and is special to me. This shop meets high standards and i will be going back. Honest communication, the fairest of prices, work done quickly – that about covers what is appreciated in a repair shop.

I was initially referred to John by a patient of mine who has his own tire shop. Since then, I’ve been to John many times for services from oil changes to a reconstructed read quarter panel, and he does a reliable job at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

We love John! We can take our VW and Prius to him, then hop the Orange Line to work. He’s super nice and very fair.
Perhaps the best thing about H&H is we can go out to dinner with all the money we’re saving!

For about the last 20 years, John has been taking care of my cars, my kids’ cars, and I have referred him to my priests who are delighted and have continued with him as well as many of my other friends who give me feedback by thanking me for the referrals. He is always friendly, always on time, I’ve never once been concerned about a bill or a mistake. I trust him blindly. A fine fine business. A rare treat.

Have a VW Tourag which needed a new Drive-​Shaft.
John was fair, honest and priced very reasonable.
Total charge was around 900.
New Drive shaft (apx. $ 600 with tax) (dealer rate)
Labor $ 300
turn around was 1 day
I recommend this company and will go back should any unforeseeable problems arise.

John has been caring for our 2001 Audi and 2002 Lexus for the last few years — very reliable, very honest, a real «straight shooter» (he’s actually steered us away from some expensive repairs and suggested practical alternatives; he’s also let us know when we need to take care of something asap).
He gets my highest recommendation for keeping our cars in flawless mechanical shape (and even arranging for a *very* reasonable esthetic fix to the Lexus when, um, a trash can ran into it).

John is a very fair and honest mechanic. I trust him with my mini. He does an amazing job and is always fair with his pricing. He’s very honest and blunt about things and that’s the way it should be. John is also incredibly friendly and always polite even when he’s at his busiest.

john is a knowledgable man… he taught me everything i know today… hes a fair business man and is there to help the communtiy

John is the BEST!!!
I took him my 2010 VW Jetta because the price quote I got from VW Santa Monica was CRAZY! He was super friendly and went out of his way to help me with the cost. I took my car in on Thursday, he ordered the part and was done that day. What was a $ 700 fix at VW was under $ 500 with John! He’s my new favorite and I will only go to him from now on!
YAY JOHN!!!

I was out of town and we didn’t yet have a good mechanic for my fiancé’s VW Cabrio. I looked up H & H on Unilocal and his ratings were 5 star, so I just took a shot and we took her car in there. This of course was after we took it into the VW dealership just across the street on Van Nuys.
After both windows and door lock were repaired, we saved about $ 1,100.00 with H & H. (I refused to believe that window mechanisms, a door lock, and labor could cost me $ 1,800.00 at the dealership!)
John is an honest and good mechanic who even popped the speaker back in to boot! We’ll definitely bring it back when we’ve got the cash to fix the mal-​engineered convertible mechanism.
thanks John!
