Steve’s Express

Art is great. I took my car to this shop because I had a check engine on and after a couple of hours he called me and told me what was the issue and the fact that my car was still under warranty. This saved me at $ 1600 once I took it to dealer, something that most mechanics would rather do it themselves and collect the money. I am really happy with their service and honesty which I think matters the most when you leave your car with them.
I really suggest them to anyone who is looking for a honest and professorial mechanic in the area!

If you’re looking for an honest repair and service place in the Valley, this is it. There’s a reason their tiny lot is always crammed full of cars — they do a great job, and they don’t jerk people around or try to milk them for unnecessary service repair. Great place, highly recommended.

Good Place!

Stevie’s express is awesome. They have the best management and they are very honest. I took my car to my normal mechanic. I thought the quote was a little high. I needed a water pump and a timing belt done. I took it for a second opinion to Steve’s express. Hey we’re a few hundred dollars less. With the same warranty. I will be using Steve’s express from now on. I was satisfied with the service and there waiting area is cool and clean. I will be referring my friends there.

Steve’s is our neighborhood auto repair and we’ve love it. My parents and I have been taking our cars to Steve’s for a couple years now for issues, and check ups. They’re quick, thorough, and honest with their prices. Thanks guys for keeping my car in tip top shape!

I don’t write reviews often, as you can see, I’ve written maybe 1 other, but with the kindness that Art at Steve’s Express extended to me I had to make mention of the exceptional service here. I found Steve’s here on Unilocal last year, and decided to give it a try. Over the past year I’ve taken my truck to them a few times, and 1 of those was for a pretty major repair. I’ve been happy with the service each and every time.
Last week I had brake problems and they diagnosed the problem. hr couldn’t get the part on Saturday, so it was going to be Tues. before he could complete the repair. I told him to hold my truck. over the weekend while looking online I found that Ford had a recall on this repair. I messaged Art (through the Request A Quote here on Unilocal) and told him the dealer would fix it for free, and not to start on the work. First thing Tuesday morning Art told me he got my message and all was good, and he expressed he was happy I found this recall. I ran over and picked up my truck and with no hassle at all Art and his guys pulled my truck up and he says «You’re all good to go». I was amazed and even offered, telling him I was willing to pay for his time to diagnose the problem, but he refused and again said «No charge. You’re good to go».
It’s hard to find honest mechanics who g=do good work, don’t make recommendations on repairs that aren’t needed, don’t take advantage of you in any given situation that you may find yourself in at any time. Art and Steve’s Express had my trust already when I went in that day last week based on my past history with them, but to me that sealed the deal that I will always take my vehicles to Steve’s, and without a worry.
Good job guys, and thank you again!

This is THE auto maintenance place to go to! Art and his team are amazing! They are wonderful, professional, and knowledgeable! They are also reasonable and honest! Art is a fantastic businessman and terrific with multi tasking cuz they are always busy! Thank you and keep up the good work!

These guy’s have never been anything but amazing to me. Just to tag onto what’s already been covered, the very few time’s I’ve had an issue with my car they couldn’t fix they were extremely quick to recommend someone equally as amazing to solve my problem.
Love these guys. Gonna miss having them around when I move out of the valley.

When I walked in, no one greeted me, no one looked at me. They had three cars in line for smog, yet told me that the machine was down, yet they were working on cars. Now is it me, or is it a conspiracy?. I guess I wasn’t welcome there. The moment I walked in the office, they all walked out. Then started talking amongst themselves like who is going to help me. Never coming here again

This is the only place I will take my car. Art is the nicest most genuine guy which typically doesn’t exist when it comes to car repair. He has serviced my car from oil changes to replacing the radiator and more. I recommend him to everyone I know and have driven my families car from Hawthorne over here to get Art’s expert opinion. I really appreciate that he never makes me feel like a «dumb girl» when I’m telling him about a noise or other issue I’ve noticed with my car. He’s a great guy and he does great work.

I discovered Steve’s Express years ago and have never had a complaint. They always do great work. I’ve had oil changes, a new radiator, new suspension, new brakes and many other services over the years.
The manager, Art, and the entire gang here are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.

I highly recommend them. I’ve had them fix my car over, and over, and over again. (Is that enough details for Unilocal so I can post this review?)

Fast and efficient service. The gentleman at the counter was extremely helpful and an honest business man. Definitely recommend this place for any and all automotive services. Thank you !!

as always, i lagged until the most inconvenient time to get maintenance done for my car. i have a 2009 nissan versa and needed my right headlight replaced asap. steve’s express was one of the only auto repair places still open — it was a saturday around 4 p.m., so i decided to give them a call and see if they could squeeze me in.
the man on the phone was extremely friendly and helpful. he asked what i needed and quoted me $ 20 for the parts and maintenance. i know if i youtubed it or something, i could’ve probably replaced the bulb myself, but that definitely did not happen.
him and a mechanic took a look at my car and called me to come outside 2 mins later. they showed me that i had a brake light that was out as well, so i gave them the ok to replace that also.
anyway, it only took about 15 mins from when i walked in to when i paid and left, and they replaced my brake light without any additional charge from the original quote. i didn’t feel like a burden to them, even though i was the annoying customer that came in 30 mins before closing.
overall a great experience and i’ll definitely be coming back to get all my other maintenance done here from now on.

Art was great! He made sure he found the problem with my car and then took the necessary steps in fixing my car. His customer service was up to par & he checked in with me before fixing the problem to inform me of the problem & how much it would cost to fix it. Overall, great service!

Found Steve’s Express after a Unilocal search.
I needed an oil change and Art was helpful with setting my same-​day appointment and setting expectations of when my car would be done.
Happy I came across them and will be bringing my car again here in the future.

Hey Unilocalers, here’s a important review. I had my clutch done at Steve’s express and I supplied all the parts like brand New clutch kit, clutch cover and New fly wheel. dropped the car off in the morning with all the new parts, and said to done late afternoon. Well mid day Art calls me to Say I need a master clutch Cylinder. I had one because I was going to install it my self, but I decided to just dropped it off. He never mentioned that he was going to charge me an extra $ 100 when I dropped it off. He Let me know When I picked up my ride it was $ 100. At that point what do I say it was done. I had these parts for over a week before I decided to have it done by Steve’s express. So I know what they look like and in detail. HERE’S THE KICKER… the NEW CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER HOUSING WAS MADE OUT OF «„PLASTIC“»! I happened to notice that the clutch pedal was making a clicking sound every time I pressed the pedal. So I looked under the dash and I saw that the old master clutch cylinder was still there and the reason I really noticed it more was the old housing of the clutch cylinder is made out of «METAL !» and the pedal rod is all metal as well the new one has plastic.
So steve’s express never put the new clutch cylinder I supplied them and charged me to install it.
I emailed the maker of the of the New clutch cylinder and they said that the clutch cylinder I ordered was made from a Heat treated plastic. Thats proof enough for me, I have the email and the old master cylinder that I had to replace because the noise it was making was coming from the old master cylinder going bad. The one they charged me $ 100 extra for.
The only reason I had steve’s express do my clutch is that I live in a condo and theres No auto repair work allowed on the premises. I’m not new to auto repair I do most of it myself on the side or the street normally taking couple hours. clutch would have taken all day or more with hand tools.
FYI …To steves Place if you think I am making this up. please contact me and I will supply all the proof from emails to old parts I still have along with sale invoices. And I also have another part that I can’t get to. I think was reused, that I can’t get too because its in the bell housing.
At this point advise from Small Claims Civil lawyer might be in the future.
FYI, ask for your OLD PARTS TO BE RETURNED TO YOU.
Beware of this place

I got my oil change done here, as well as my brake lightbulb replaced and one of my tires fixed due to a nail puncture, and they only charged me for the oil change! On top of that, he gave me a $ 15 discount. This place has great customer service and I can see why they have such high review ratings!
The only downside is that they get super busy, so drop off your car as early as possible, preferably right when they open. Other than that, I will definitely be coming back here for all my future automobile services!

After doing some research, I dropped my truck off to get some work done after hitting 150K miles. I showed up at around 8AM and was greeted by Art. Told him I wanted all the fluids changed, tranny, oil, radiator and a brake job done. Right off the bat Art said, we’ll take a look at the brakes first to see if they need to be changed. If they do we’ll change them but if not we won’t waste your money. Got a call around 2PM to say my truck was done. When I showed up, low and behold he said my brakes were still at 50% so he didn’t have to change them. I don’t doubt other places would have changed my brakes.
Art was very professional and polite in all senses of the word. Not only he save me money by not going to a dealer but saved me money by not having to change my brakes.
Steve’s Express now has a future customer.
Thanks gentleman!!!

I had my car oil changed there right before I left for San Francisco in December 2014. Recently on March 13, 2015, my car has stopped functioning. Came to find out that someone had contaminated my brake fluids. Why on earth would someone do that? Fair warning, if honesty is not in your favor, please know that it will come to you in your own time. I do not respect this company at all or TRUST this company. Yes, I am aware of the high ratings. Honesty is the number one priority. AND If you can’t give that to your customers, why do you work there? Get out. We need more honest people when it comes to fixing cars…
Malfunctioning cars = death. So, is that what you do? Trying to kill people?
Here are the list that my car needs fixing:
Lifetime Rear Drum Brake
Brake flush with lifetime brake.
