Pit Stop Motor Tuning

Amazing service. Finally a shop that doesnt look to ripping a customer off. Just had my m3 worked on and definitely will be coming back and recommending people. Herbert knows his cars and parts and is DAMN good at what he does. Thank you guys again!

Have never had such an enjoyable experience with a mechanic. Herbert is honest, open, intelligent and thoughtful.
I called to get a comparison quote after Toyota Glendale quoted me $ 575 for a water pump replacement. Herbert said he worked there years ago and is used to their inflated prices. He charged me $ 260 tax included.
He then took time out of his busy day to explain the issue, show how it was solved and offered advice on how to take better care of my car to avoid having to take it to shop!
Goodbye Glendale Toyota! I highly suggest anyone who goes there for «routine maintenance,» say goodbye and see Pit Stop!

I was told Pit Stop Motor Tuning is the best around for custom suspension. These guys squeezed me in last minute, which meant a lot to me at the time, and even more once I saw how packed this place is with business. Herb is awesome; after speaking with him, reading all the reviews praising this place, and seeing the operation I never doubted for a moment this was exactly where I wanted my car lowered.
Herb couldn’t have made the process any easier. I showed up, handed over the keys, went and had lunch, and got a call everything was ready to go. The car handles 5x better than it did on the stock suspension and looks like a million bucks. Start to finish, everything was perfect.
This place was packed with $ 100k cars, and it’s obvious why. Herb and his team are the best. If you want the best, you bring your car here. No question.

Herbert knows what’s up. Helped me get my evo going after purchasing it from and abusive owner. He’s a no bullshit kinda guy, cause he doesn’t have time for bullshit. If you drop your car here to get fixed be ready cause you’ll be picking it up quick. Quality work, timely manner.

Just got my oil change done on my E46 m3. Dr. Herbert is a top notch mechanic. I will definitely be back for more. Great service.

To review Pit Stop in one word: EXCELLENT. Herb is legit and his staff are all very polite and professional. I’ve brought my 2014 370z to him multiple times to add and remove parts to my toy. My brother takes his cars to him all the time as well. Pit Stop has been great every single visit. Highly recommend if you’re in SoCal and looking for a great Auto Shop.

Herb and the Pit Stop crew are in the top 1% of LA auto shops, if not the best around. I routinely come from west LA for maintenance/​mods/​advice on my n54 bmw and am truly thrilled with the level of care and service. The staff are all very knowledgeable re: different auto platforms and Herb (as a true auto enthusiast who has seen everything) will always give an honest opinion on repairs or modifications. Thanks guys… I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I went to get my seatbelt services at Toyota and they gave me the run around with pricing and it was going to take 3 days to fix. Found this gem of a car shop & made an appointment. Herbert took care of all the servicing & seatbelt issues I had for a waaaay cheaper price. He also got everything done in a day!!! Great customer service.
I now go to him for oil changes & when I find things that are acting wrong. Amazing service, super honest and Herbert is the Best! This should be everyone’s go to shop!

I’m proud to call Herbert family. Even though he is family, I wouldn’t take my car to him if he didn’t know what he was doing. Ever since we were little kids Herbert has always been into cars, from remote control cars to the real thing. He knows it all. Not only do I change my oil there, but when I had to change the timing belts on my mom’s car I took it to him. I also recently changed my brakes, and the work was phenomenal. Everyone in his staff is A++ I highly recommend Pit Stop Motor Tuning, just look at all the reviews if you don’t believe me.

I honestly cannot explain how good the service is. Herbert and Sam were both outstanding and experts on what they were doing. I am glad honestly I found these guys on Unilocal and cannot explain how good they are as people and the care they provide for your car. Me being a car enthusiast and very careful with my forged wheels, Sam handled them with car and adjusted what needed to be adjusted on my car. They’re a very knowledgable and skilled shop. With outstanding service. I will be regular here from now on. I mite even ditch Honda for my oil change and continue to just come here for all my service needs. Once again I recommend this place. Nothing but excellence. I have been to many shops and most were rude and mean but these guys are great and friendly. Don’t hesitate to call them and ask for help.

Herb and his team are not only highly skilled in the arena of complicated high-​performance late-​model cars, but with basic hybrids, A-​to-​B daily drivers and everything in between. I’ve taken my 2008 Corvette Z06 and 2014 Mustang GT to him and he’s always proven to be nothing but upfront, friendly, extremely fair and communicative. Their work is top-​notch and fast (not fast like cutting corners fast, but as in all-​hands-​on-​deck no dilly-​dally fast), and as a gearhead and enthusiast himself, is an extremely honest mechanic. You won’t find price-​gouging or shameful up-​sells here (ahem, stealerships and Jiffy Lube).
The only place I’ll ever take my cars for maintenance, mods or tuning.
Highly recommended.

My brother in law said he went through hell trying to fix his car and Herbert fixed his car after many failed… so I tried him out.
He not only fixed my car, he gave me pointers on how to maintain my car which I really appreciated.
Thank you.

Went back to get my coilovers and sway bars installed. Once again, Herbert and his team did a great job. Left my car looking BADASS!

I hold these guys in such high regard that I don’t even get surprised anymore when they do amazing things for you.
Brought my M3 in since the a power steering belt broke which required repair in other areas … Herb called my extended warranty and got the entire repair approved!
I mean it speaks a lot when even extended warranty people who’s job is to deny everyone or stall approvals, becomes your friend. Amazing!
As I’ve said before, very glad to have found this place, and you guys should check it out too.

I came in with a bunch of issues from a previous shop and Herbert went out of his way to fix all the screw-​ups the other guys made! They walked me through all the problems and he even went out of his way to get the parts I needed that day! Herbert and his crew have the best service I have had with any mechanical shop. Definitely my go to shop for my vehicle, thank you guys!

I was browsing on Unilocal to locate a a store to install my Barton short throw shifter. I came across this location and decided to call them to receive a quote.
Once I received the quote from Herbert, I asked if he had time the next day. He informed me that he was busy that day but that he would be able to fit me in the middle of his busy schedule.
I was very happy that he would be able to do that for me.
Next day, I arrived to the location and was greeted by Herbert. He had a very positive vibe coming from him and it was a plus that he knew so much about cars. That made me confident that him and his team would do a great job on my install.
After the install, I was very eager to get on my car and try the shifter. Goodness gracious, they did an excellent work!
I am coming back to this location for future mods!

If you’re around the area and are going to an another tuner shop other than Pit Stop Motor Tuning (or Need4Speed), you need to rethink your priorities. Thanks to Alex from Need4Speed, he recommended me to this small but clean shop. Luckily for me, they were able to fit me into their Saturday schedule right away even without an appointment. Things were looking good already.
As soon as I entered the shop, three of his crew immediately jumped on my car like a pack of hungry wolves going after a sheep and started working to adjust my coilover height. Things then got interesting. One of his observant mechs noticed that the previous shop installed my springs backwards (yeah, WTF) and Herb later caught that the fronts were installed incorrectly. I couldn’t believe it until they allowed me to see them at work firsthand under the lift. They needed certain pieces that go with the coilovers, which were left with the stock shocks in my garage so Herb decided to give me a lift. In his RS4. A missile on wheels. Let’s just say it was quite an experience!
After the short heart-​pounding ride, Herb and his crew went right back to work with the necessary parts and made me feel right at home. All of them were huge car enthusiasts, highly knowledgeable and were curious about my car and mods. No longer did I have to hear the clueless mech who glances at your mods and says «Dude, is this an M3?!» (hint: mine isn’t). After only an hour and some change, they adjusted and correctly installed my coilovers to my liking. They went above and beyond that day to get my car done with precision and expediency. The cost of the service? More than half the price of the other shops’ estimates. I definitely found a new tuner shop for my BMW.
I want to thank Herb, Sam, Patrick and their fourth man (never got his name as he had to leave early) for making my experience painless and extremely satisfying. Herb’s philosophy is that he wants to treat his customers like how he wants to be treated and never judges you with the car you bring in. So he isn’t going to charge you more just because you drive a Porsche vs. the guy with a Civic, though your parts are pricier because German tax (anyone that knows cars will know what I mean). Great customer service is next to impossible to find these days but they regained my hope in that there are small indy shops that you can trust with your car and your wallet like Pit Stop Motor Tuning.

Herb, thanks very much for you help. You are fantastic.
Have a 2013 BMW M5. Herb was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, professional and meticulous in overcoming all the issues in installing the KW V3 coilovers and Dinan swaybars for me.
First, the KW distributor sent me the wrong part and he was very patient in explaining and helping me what I could do in the meantime. It turned out to be a non-​issue that Herb helped me to overcome it in no time.
Second, the tire shop that installed my aftermarket wheels tightened one of the wheel locks so tight that it could not be removed when Herb tried to take it off to install the coilover. Herb took so much time and was so meticulous that he finally took it off without damaging my wheel. I was certain that, for any other shops, they would have either given up or damaged my wheel already.
Overall, Herb and his team was incredibly professional and patient. My job was not easy but they just got it done.
Thanks.

2 words, class act! If you care about your car, and your care about your money, then this is the perfect place. I ended up here by accident, and right away I got a great feeling. Herbert was super welcoming, super friendly, and extremely knowledgeable.
I came back, had my tires changed on my bmw, put on spacers, and will be returning for more mods.

Pit Stop rocks! Made an appt and took my RS4 in for a much needed oil change — damm these cars are thirsty! Thought it was cool that Herb also has an RS4… so he knows the car like the back of his hand. I’m always a
little uneasy taking my baby somewhere new, but Herb made me feel 100% comfortable working on my car. Since the car was up on the lift, he also did a full body check up and tightened some loose nuts and bolts etc. Will definitely go be going back!
** No latte machine… but I’d rather have someone knowing what they’re doing to my car, than sipping on a latte out of a machine!
