K.T. Auto & Tire

Had to get unexpected brake pads and AC filter replaced. When I had hesitation about why, owner explained clearly and even showed me the parts that needed to be replaced which were worn and dirty. Highly recommend. Relatively affordable and good service!

K. T. Auto is the best! Its so nice to find an honest mechanic in my neighborhood but I would definitely drive across town for great service. I was quoted a higher price for new brake pads from Jiffy Lube along with a list of other recommendations and being stingy with coupons. Mr. Kim gave a fair and better price, and also a cheaper option if I didnt want to go with the more expensive factory brake pads. I asked him which he would choose if it were his car and he recommended factory. At 8:30a he said he would have to order them and wasnt did they would come today. To my surprise, he got the parts and my car was finished by 4p! Ive had several great experiences here and I wont be going anywhere else!

I have been using K.T. AUto for over 25 years now, even when I had moved to three different locations within L.A. County. That's how much I trust Kim and his mechanics. He is always honest in his assessment of the problems and charges extremely fair prices. I have always given other local mechanics opportunities with my business, but they consistently charge far more than list, and try to sell you more than you need. I only had one other mechanic that I would recommend but he has retired a few years ago. I know more than enough because I worked through high school and college as a mechanic. Automobile technology has changed as well as the shops that offer repair services. Things get complicated and the pricing sure seems to follow that trajectory. Kim does his best to assess any problems your vehicle may have and will offer options on which repairs are worth repairing immediately or not. He'll also warn you if the problems could be long term and cannot be permanently repaired. I have found over the long term that it is best to stick to those who have consistently offered honest and reliable service no matter how far (within reason) away you end up living. This has been true for my physicians as well. I travel across town through bad traffic because it is worth the trip. I hope Kim doesn't decide to retire any time soon.

I went with two flat tires and they took the time to check them and refilled all my tires (nothing was wrong, someone had let the air out of my tires) and didnt even charge me

This shop does it right. They are honest and trustworthy and you will get the full story and the options available.
