Dr. Auto Tech

"Needed to get my gear shifter fixed and no other dealership or shop could find the part. They told me it would be months. Dr. Autotech had the part and the car was fixed within a week. Great work!"

"Vasken and his crew are terrific! My husband and I have been going to him with various cars for many years. He is honest, trustworthy and an amazing mechanic! He even went up and beyond the call of duty when the water pump went out on my BMW on the 105 Freeway on our way to a Kings game. AAA would only tow the car to his shop if he met them there so he did at 8pm on a Friday night so we could still make it to the Kings game!!! We would never take our cars anywhere else because they treat us like family!"

"Honest, reliable and timely! They are the best automotive technicians I have ever worked with. My husband and I won’t go anywhere else. Highly recommended!"

"I went in with a flat tire and a tight timeline to get to my next meeting. The team quickly helped me like a NASCAR pit crew and sent me on my way. They were friendly and charged me a very reasonable rate. One of the best repair shop experiences I've ever had."

"Man, there aren't too many mechanics out there as talented and detailed as Dr. Vasken. I picked up a broken down 2002 BMW 540 with an oil leak that had been sitting in a driveway for 3 years and immediately took it to an auto shop and a detailer. Of course there were still problems, and the detailer didn't clean it up as well as I wanted (I'm pretty OCD) so I turned to Dr. Auto Tech and couldn't have made a better decision. Immediately I could tell he was the real deal because of how meticulously he looked at every part of my car. Dr. Vasken identified quite literally EVERY problem that other mechanics identified and even more, and he also made sure to only exchange parts and do work on parts of the car that HAD to be done. He also helped me swap out and sell the ugly after-market rims the car came with and even ordered the BMW hubcaps for the OEMs I bought, AND he did a great job of cleaning out all the gunk and trash that the detailer missed. The cherry-on-top was how openly Dr. Vasken communicated. He made sure to give me regular update calls whenever he discovered new potential issues and was very open to discussing the pricing. I went out of my way to bring the car from DTLA down to his shop in Hermosa Beach, and needless to say it has served me well — I drove back to San Francisco from LA without a hitch. NOTE: Dr. Vasken *actually* looks after the cars he works on so I would recommend only bringing in your vehicle if it's one you truly cared for — he charges $150/hour for labor, which frankly might still be too low considering his wealth of experience."
