C & B Auto Center

My family has 5 cars. We have been using Daryl for 20 years. He has been more than fair with us.

I have bees using Daryl for at least 15 years and it really feels good to have a mechanic that you can trust and tries to save you money at the same time. He is honest and tells it like it is. He has fair pricing and gets the work done in a timely manner. If something is not right and you go back and tell him he will fix it for free unless the problem is not related to what you previously paid for. I will keep using C & B so long as Daryl is there.

I’ve been going to Darryl for a couple of years now and I couldn’t be happier with his service. He’s done brake, engine, and transmission work for my 04 Mercedes and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to repair my car. He does all of the work himself and is always on time and accommodating with my schedule.
I came in from a dealer oil change recently where they told me I needed $ 1,400+ worth of repairs on various things. I brought it to Darry, l who not only found that they wanted to do unnecessary work, but the work he did do was literally half the price of the dealer. I’ve never met such an honest mechanic who does such good work.

So this is the second time I’ve use Darryl. He came recommended from a family member and I was 100% pleased with the work he did. He got the car back to me promptly too. The first time I used him was back in Nov 2011. Oil was pouring out of my car and that’s NOT figuratively speaking. He explained in detail where my oil leak came from and since then there’s been no problem with oil leaks.
Last weekend my alternator went up (It’s a 13 YEAR OLD CAR) and I was quoted a cheaper price at a place in San Pedro, in fact $ 100 less. When I called Daryl and told him the issue, he explained to me that it’s important to get an alternator that’s going to last. He explained that someone could put a «POS» (piece of s***) {my words, not his} alternator in my car and I’d have this problem again before the year was out. So I had Triple A tow my car 50 miles over to the valley from San Pedro. I caught 3 busses to pick up my car and I paid $ 100 more because I felt assured that my car was in great hands with C & B.
Darryl was extremely accommodating. He said to have my car towed to the guy across from him since he was closing @ a certain time today. There was no way my tow would make it to C & B from San Pedro @ 3pm in rush hour traffic to the valley before C & B closed for the day. Darryl checked all my fluids and pressures as well.
I strongly recommend taking your car there. He uses quality parts, he explains everything he did and he got my car back to me promptly. If you have an old car, no longer under warranty car and you need a trusted mechanic I strongly recommend calling Darryl. It’s on a tight alley way next to a hotel that’s adjacent to all the auto shops. Bank of America sits on the corner. He’s in the last garage on the left.

I love this place! Daryl is a good honest man. I have been going to him for as long as I can remember and my parents before that. He stands behind his work and if he cant do the job he will send you to a good place that can. Fast good work.
