MV Automotive

This was a few years back hope its not the same but here it goes. I took my 1995 civic because it kept turning off on me. They told me it was the distributor and it will cost $ 300. I could not afford that so I took my car back home and checked out the distributor and realized it was just the rotor. went to auto zone and it cost 8 bucks and my car was good. As honest «professionals» they should of caught that, I paid for them to diagnose it.

I don’t know what I like more, the honest, affordable work, or staff! Everything about MV Automotive is awesome and I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else. I refer all my friends and family to MV for their great work. If you’re looking through Unilocal as a decision factor for your next mechanic, look no further, you found the one !

We have a 1973 F100. They reconstructed the motor and the truck works as it was new. They are the only ones we let work on our truck. If you are looking for an honest and good mechanic, this is the place.

EXTREMELY CLEAN FACILITY! It’s very hard to find a good repair facility in East Los Angeles, and this place is AMAZING! Everyone is really nice, and they don’t try to up-​sell you. They will show you exactly what it wrong and what are the options to fix it. No pressure.
They have a comfy office with Wi-​Fi! My vehicle had no issues after I took it home, and I’ve been back since then for other repairs even though I don’t live near. This will continue to be my mechanic for years to come and I’ve already recommended a ton of friends.
A HUGE PLUS: They staff ASE certified mechanics so they know their stuff and have a BBB sign!

I highly recommend MV Automotive.
I live in the Bay Area and had driven my car down I-​5 and through somewhere around Magic Mountain my car indication lights starting lighting up like a xmas tree. My battery light was on as was my brake light. I was beginning to worry because I had just replaced my battery 3 weeks earlier. After making several calls, I pulled over in LA at a totally unknown exit and intersection for me. My godfather was concerned that my battery was going to die on me and that I’d be stuck in the middle of stop and go traffic and he asked me to look for my battery to see how charged it was. Unfortunately there was no indication on my battery.
However across the street there was MV Automotive. Unsure of what type of service I would get, I took the chance and talked to the owner (Manuel) about the lights on my car. I desribed how I just replaced my battery and how I suspected that it may have been my alternator.
Manuel was fantastic. He tested my battery and then told me that it was way too low; below the minimum threshold of 13.5 volts/​amps. It was at 11.5. Yikes!!! Then he called around to his stores to see if they had the part to replace.
Meanwhile I was getting texts from my boyfriend who was telling me how much a replacement part should cost for my car.
Manuel quote me a price for my alternator exactly in the range of what my boyfriend was sending me. And then gave me a price for labor well in the range of what I expected. He told me my car could take up to 2 hours to fix between getting the alternator part delivered and replaced. My car was done in less than 75 minutes and Manuel and his assitant also showed me that my car battery was starting to recharge now that the alternator was replaced.
I feel so amazingly lucky to have wandered right in front of MV Automotive. I could have easily been ripped off or taken for a ride by a sleezy tech. Instead I truly found an «Angel» in Los Angeles.
My car made it all the way to Orange County and then back up to the Bay Area with no further problems. Plus my alternator was guraranteed for 1 year with unlimited mileage.
Fantastic. And Highly Recommended!!! Plus Manuel has a BBB sign!!!
