They saved my life. I kept smelling gasoline when I got out of my car. Nobody else couldsmell it. So one day I pulled intoKing Harbor Automotive and welifted the hood and we both smell it and it got fixed right then. I have never regrettedgetting my car repaired there.

Excellent mechanic. Explained the issue very clearly and simply that I was having with oil leaking into the drippan and that is why smoke was coming out from underneath my hood. Also took care of replacing my worn down brake pads. Honest, friendly and fair prices. Usually can get my BMW in the same day I call if it s in the morning. Highly recommend Efron and his shop!

"Check Engine" light came on! Ugh! Went to Yelp for local shops--dealer's always more. After a few calls, I reached out for a second opinion of the original diagnostic during a routine oil change. I went to see Pete and Efrain who gave me an honest price--got a good vibe from them. So, dropped off my 2015 Toyota Prius two for a second diagnostic(part of the repair price) and they confirmed it needed a new engine coolant pump. It was ready same day and they even checked the car's levels to make sure it was good. Yep, I'm happy--and so is my wife!Services: Auto water leak repair, Auto engine diagnostic

This Repair service went above and beyond to make sure my daughter's car was safe and reliable. They identified a MAJOR oversight from the last shop (literally the last place we went to DID NOT replace a major bolt in the suspension) and fixed it perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend King Harbor Auto repair. They were communicative, thoughtful, and fixed the car beyond our expectations. Thank you. We will be back for all our service needs.Services: Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Wheel alignment, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto maintenance

I hardly ever write reviews but I was impressed enough with my experience to take my time to write this. I called King Harbor Auto Repair regarding my girlfriends car, which we believed had some leaks and possibly bigger issues, and they told me to bring it in to be looked at. I asked for pricing and was told there was a diagnostic fee (forget the exact price) and if there is anything needed that the fee would be applied toward the repair.A few hours after dropping off my car I received a phone call and was told that the car was in good condition and simply needed an oil change. The leaks were diagnosed as normal for the car and I was even updated about the condition of the breaks (close to 100% in the rear and about 40% up front). As promised the diagnostic fee was applied toward the oil change and I left with an $83 debit charge.I am new to the area and am delighted to have found such an honest and good repair shop. I will be bringing my cars here from now on and will also be recommending my friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family. There is no need to look elsewhere.Thank you King Harbor Auto Repair for your service and I wish you many blessings.

I drive 43 miles each way, just to enjoy the privilege of being a customer of this wonderful business owner and his great employees.God smiled on me 3 years ago when my car broke down a few blocks away in Redondo Beach and I looked up a close local shop.I found Efrain Noriega and I have been so happy with his work and his work ethics that I once had my car towed 97 miles in order to have him perform a repair.Efrain truly goes the extra mile for old friends and strangers alike.I can give no higher business recommendation than I do for King Harbor Auto Repair.

This place is absolutely the best. I ve used King Harbor twice to fix my ailing 2003 suburban most recently after a dealership wanted $3,200 to fix one front hub and axle, I had it towed 25 miles to Efrain where he had BOTH hubs replaced and new brakes for $800. And, he had it done in a few hours. Before you go somewhere else, I d suggest you give this place serious consideration. No rip offs here just honest and quality repair. I ll be coming back here when the next thing breaks...

Efrain @ King Harbor is very nice and profesional, he went through item by item that I needed giving me an explainintion, price and no pressure to proceed. His prices were very reasonable, unlike most shops here in the South Bay. They finished everything in one day, even took it to get it smoged for me. He showed me the damaged items he fixed AND they washed my car for me. I coudn't beleive it! I 100% recommend. One of the best experiences ever, thank you Efrain and your Team!

King Harbor Auto Repair is hands down the only place I trust to work on my vehicles! The honesty and sincere customer service is always abundant. The owner is one of the nicest gentlemen you will ever meet, he truly goes above and beyond for his customers. Trust me when I say you are in good hands!

Great and very honest. Best price I could find in the area with wonderful service as an added bonus. I'd tell all of my friends to check them out. Super hard to find honest auto repair, especially as a woman. I didn't once feel like they were trying to over charge (way under the quoted price every where else) or feel like they were trying to take advantage. Save your self the hassle of calling around, stop in or give King Harbor Auto a call.

I've been coming here for the past 4 years. Efrin and his crew are so kind and honest. I started coming here because it was blocks from home and they've were always been helpful to offer drop off and pickups. I moved 30min away about a year ago, and I still come to King Harbor instead of finding a new place.Car after car, I have never been loyal to a auto repair place. They make you feel like family and the only place I have felt I couldK trust them with recommendations and pricing.

Great and very friendly service. I called and changed my appointment once without any issues. They will even drive you home in your car while they are test driving it if you aren't too far away! That's service! The repairs were a little more than I had anticipated but for the things they fixed it seemed appropriate, and these guys all seem very trustworthy! I would recommend it to anybody in the king harbor area.

Unreliable. No consideration. Efrin told me to bring my cat in first thing in the morning which I did. Had to leave work early from downtown LA. Had to have my mother take my son to school for me. Had to have my girlfriend meet me at the shop so I could drop my car off with Efrin. When I arrive he tells me he s too booked and to just come back tomorrow like it s no big deal. I ask him, can I at least just leave my cat here and work on it once your ready ? He says no . He says it s not my fault . I wasted my time, my girlfriends time, gas. Had to have my mom take my son to school before she went to work.Also on another note. The last time I took my car to him, I dropped it off. I miss his first call, call back within the first five minutes of him calling and he s yelling at me for missing his call. Saying I need to sharpen up.I m very disappointed with his customer service and I will definitely Never come back to him.

I've never written a review , but I gave him my car for a diagnostic , and he returned my car in worse shape than I left it with the speedometer broken and barely drivable. Just got off the phone with him and he has no intentions of fixing the issue. Basically gave him 100$ To total my car. During our phone call he said he had another customer and hung up on me. terrible

I don't think anyone should repair his/her car at this auto repair shop. Quality of work is even lower than that you would get from a high schooler doing car repair jobs in spare time. Furthermore, they try to charge as a BMW engineer with years of professional training and experience. You can randomly pick any car repair shop within 5 miles radius and you will get better quality at lower price.

So expensive! Must be the location. Able Auto in Gardena is affordable, fair and honest. FYI
