Vo Auto Repair

Expensive as hell! I don’t recommend going here. At first the owner seems nice but he is a crook! I suggest doing business somewhere else. Don’t let my mistake be yours!

Vos the best. His prices aren’t the cheapest but it’s reasonable and he’s honest. Even gives you the original part back to prove it.

My family and I have been coming here since 2008 and the service and price is excellent! The owner is very honest and friendly. If you are looking for a truly honest family run auto repair shop come in. i recommend to call and get an idea when is the best time to come in for service

Price is so expensive. The machinist that fix my car doesn’t have experience. I know my car clearly than him. I just change the air filters about 6 month, the one who fixed my car didn’t give me recommendation why I should change. Instead, he said, it had been long time from the day I bought the car. So crazy. I recommend Valley Auto Repair at conner Valley Blvd and Monterey.

I just recently brought my car into Vo because it had started to smoke while driving home (which ended up being because the AC compressor wasn’t working) Vo was very verbal in what he was doing to fix my car and made sure to find the best deal he could find for me! I was very pleased with his services and now I have nice ice cold air for nearly half of the price that I was quoted on at another shop 2 weeks ago! I will be recommending Vo to everyone!

I was told after a routine coolant change at Kerechuck Motor Repair in Alhambra, that one of my radiator cooling fans was not working, and that I should not drive it because the car would overheat. Kerechuk tried to charge me $ 350 to fix it, and I had to leave my car in their shop for a week. I have a Subaru Outback, and it was running just fine.
Vo checked it out and said nothing was wrong with my cooling fans. Kerechuck also quoted me a price of $ 40 to change my headlight bulb. Vo changed it for $ 25, and did not even charge me for the inspection of my cooling fans
If you want an honest, trustworthy, and fair mechanic, Vo Auto repair is the place to go.

This place just does the job! No wonder they get all 5 stars! It’s super close to my house and I love how convenient it is for me to go there for anything. It’s located in the corner of Garfield and Hellman at the Shell gas station. They are usually quite busy so make sure you call ahead of time if you live further away. I’ve gotten a couple things done here. I got my oil changed, tires repaired, etc. The owner of this place is called Mr. Vo and he is super friendly. His English is decent enough to communicate and if you want, he speaks Chinese too for those who prefer that language. His other workers are super friendly as well!
I forgot how much a tire repair was… but it was definitely worth not doing yourself. I think it was around $ 10 or less? They then make sure all your tires are at it’s full air capacity and check if there are anymore other holes. The oil change isn’t too expensive too because I usually bring my own filter and oil for them. You can have them provide it for you as well if you don’t want to go through the hassle. My mom recently got her smog check here for her car and it cost about $ 40, which is pretty much average price.
But I’m telling you… this is the best service you’ll get. Bang for your buck!

Vo is the best! Dependable and very reliable service. Not too many honest people out there but Vo is definitely an honest man. He doesnt do unnecessary work on my car just for a profit. Keep up the good work!

It is really refreshing to find a car repair place that is so competent, honest and fair priced. Have had to bring my 17 year old car here on three different occasions and have been completely satisfied every time. Too bad he is in this ARCO station, he could use a much larger facility with more stalls to work in.
Great service… love this man and his staff.

Fast and great service. I brought my 2002 WRX there.

Michael helped me to change the clutch for my s2000. Very great, very honest.

This place is legit. I just moved to Monterey Park recently so when my car started making weird noises I looked on Unilocal for a mechanic, and lo and behold I stumbled onto Vo’s. Located inconspicuously in an Arco gas station, Vo is a straight up NICE guy. Very through and detail oriented, he explained everything he was going to do to my car and the potential ramifications. I definitely didn’t feel like he kept me in the dark about anything.
What happened was that I needed a new alternator, he offered me different choices with different price ranges, and his personal recommendations. I left my car there and came back later in the day, the car was done in a few hours. The work he did was quality, and when I told him that I found him on Unilocal he gave me a 20 dollar discount. I’ve been back a few times for oil leaks and belt tightening, and every single time he has greeted me with the utmost in professionalism. I’m glad to have found a mechanic I could trust, definitely give him a try if you’re around the Monterey Park area.

Ok. I’m about to say two words that you’ve probably never heard in the same sentence. Are you ready? Cause here goes… Honest… Mechanic. Wait, that’s not a sentence. Lemme try again. Vo Tang of Vo Auto Repair Inc. gave me the greatest experience I’ve ever had at an auto repair shop because HE is an honest… mechanic. How’s that? Still don’t believe it? I don’t blame you. I couldn’t believe my luck either.
It all started when I replaced my radiator which emptied my AC. In LA, you can’t go a day without AC because well, Americans are spoiled like that. So I checked with the repair shops around my neighborhood who all gave me an estimate of $ 130. Of course I bargained it down, but it was only a 10 – 20 dollar difference. Then I asked my friend who recommended I go to this part of town because «the mechanics here are nice and affordable.» I did some research and found Vo and his repair shop partnered at the corner of a gas station. These always came by as sketchy to me. I don’t know why. But for some reason I’ve always felt like when the repair shop is not «freestanding» you’re about to be duped for some extra costs. (It’s like getting your tires replaced at Wal-​Mart …“oh, and did you hear about Wal-Mart’s extended warranty?” «Um, no I didn’t. But can I leave now?») This was not the case with Vo.
Not only did he take the time to explain the issues of refilling AC (ensuring leaks and what not) but he administered a pressure test and went as far as to explain why and how it works. Long story short, my AC is now cold as hell. Wait, no. Cold as heaven? I guess that doesn’t work either. Colder then a polar bear’s fingernail? That’s a bit of stretch. Cause sometimes they have polar bears at zoos in cities that are hot as hell. Look at that, the simile works this time.
So I guess you’re all wondering about the price. Polar bear in mind, the other fools quoted me at $ 130. Vo of Vo’s Auto repair said a flat $ 80. Now I’m not gonna lie, I STILL bargained the price and Vo was cool with that. He’s super nice and understanding so to be fair, I won’t tell you exactly what he charged me. But I will say this: It was definitely a steal. I not only recommend Vo’s Auto Repair but would happily go out of my way, to go here again.

I’ve been going to various different places till my friend recommended me to Vo. He’s very nice and honest and won’t rip you off. I would recommend him to all of my friends too.

Have been going to Vo’s for 15+ years now. He is very good and honest. They do get busy on Sat. (closed Sun.) so if you have major repairs that take a long time weekday is defiantly the way to go.

I’ve been coming to Vo for over 10 years! It takes a little while but he is honest and very nice!

Vo is a great guy. He helps out with some many car problems. The price range it a bit higher then other shops but I know he does good work. A couple times he didn’t even charge me becuase it was minor. Only bad thing is that its a small shop so sometimes you have to wait.

Yes, Vo is the best!
I had a spark plug that stripped the engine block, and popped of out it’s hole, making the car unable to drive. I called around and most mechanics wouldn’t even touch it.
But then I called Vo’s and he repaired it quickly and inexpensively, and he stayed late so I could pick up the car, after cruising the metro from work.
What a guy. I went back later and thanked him again for saving me! ha ha

I got the phone number to this place from a friend after I got into a huge car accident. The dealership was going to charge me 4x as much to fix the car, but Vo’s Auto Repair fixed it for me quickly and very inexpensively. I usually don’t write reviews, but this place is too good to pass up. Vo is a genuinely nice guy, who stayed late so I can come and get my car after all. I would definitely refer my friends to this place.
