Avenue 55 · Highland Park

The family shop
on Avenue 55.

Diagnostics, brakes, A/C, engine work and suspension, with a body shop on the same lot. Two bays, a straight answer, and a phone somebody actually picks up.

What we do

Everything painted on the wall out front

This is the actual list off the shop signage, not a menu somebody invented. If what you need is not here, call and ask, and we will tell you honestly whether it is a job for us.

Diagnostics

Check engine light on and no idea why. We read it, trace it, and tell you what we actually found.

Brakes

Pads, rotors and drums. One of the jobs that comes through these bays most weeks.

Engine service

Tune ups, oil changes and general engine work to keep a car running instead of replacing it.

A/C repair

Air conditioning that stopped blowing cold, which in this part of LA is not something you can put off.

Front end and suspension

Struts, front end work and the knocks and pulls that come with LA roads.

Radiator and cooling

Overheating, leaks and radiator work, sorted before it turns into an engine problem.

Body shop

There is a body shop on site run by Bryon, so collision and cosmetic work stays under one roof.

Mechanical work

The general repairs that do not fit a neat category. Call and describe it, we will tell you straight.

Body shop on site

Collision work without leaving the lot

Bryon runs the body shop on the same yard, so a car that needs both mechanical and body work does not get shuttled between two places. One customer chose to go through us rather than their insurance, and had the car back in two days.

“Friendly, respectful, easy to work with, and willing to work with your budget.”

In the bays

Real work, on real cars

Everything from a wiper blade to suspension stripped down to the hub. Same shop, same people.

What to expect

You get a person, not a queue

Pull into the yard and somebody is assigned to you. Reviewers keep mentioning how fast the shop comes back on a call or a text, and the front office was fully remodeled, so waiting here is not a punishment.

Bryon who operates a body shop here is an incredible mechanic. He's friendly, respectful, easy to work with, and willing to work with your budget. I chose to repair with him instead of using my insurance and it was seamless (only took two days and way more affordable).

The family owned business is functioning really efficient and professional, with an inviting energy and immediate responses via phone calls or text. After I entered the yard I was assigned a point person right away. The service was reasonably priced and comparatively quick.

Found this place when my car battery died 1 block away. Diego offered to help without hesitation, and even walked over to my car with a portable battery! Incredible service with honest prices.

Yoel and David really helped me out! They got me a new rear wiper blade and it's working great in the rain! Very thrilled with the friendly service and looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Just off Figueroa in Highland Park. There is a fenced yard for customer parking, so you are not hunting for a space on the street. Call ahead and we will tell you when to bring it in.
