T.H. Auto Service

Mary was so nice. I needed a smog check and so I called ahead and asked Mary if I could come in at the last minute. She said of course and They got me in and out in 30 minutes. They even sent my certificate electronically so I didn’t have to send it to the DMV. Would definitely recommend this place !!

Just pulled in to here after looking at Unilocal reviews. I just pulled up and said what I needed and he said it would take about 20min which it did and it was only $ 45. I brought my registration papers with me and he looked at it and it was a done deal. Easy peasy! In and out! Very nice people

Review ⁹⁄₃₆₅
Having just moved back to California (from Texas), I needed to registrar my car in California. First thing to do, get a smog check. I scoured Unilocal for good smog check locations– this place had high marks and was close by. Score! I called, and they said «C’mon by!»
They had told me it’d take about 30 minutes, but in reality, it look less time. Perfect for me since I had a lot to do. Tony conducted my smog check, and while I was waiting, his wife came around and chatted with me. They were both very friendly. The price for the smog check was ~$ 45, including the certificate.
If you want a no BS spot to get your car checked out, I’d definitely recommend TH Auto Service.

Ripoff, do not come to this shop, they either don’t know how to fix or try to rip you off.

I have been coming here for almost 15+ years now (back when Van was a partner. bless his soul), and have not been disappointed at all. My friends Alfred and Jeff from Audio FX Productions and Cerritos All Stars recommend this place to me back when, since both of them and their parents have been coming to this places for many many years.
I have brought various makes and models of vehicles here throughout the years, and Tony and his team have done excellent work each time. They access the vehicle properly, and do not try to gouge you with unnecessary repairs.
They have been fair and honest In their work and very reasonable with their pricing. This is what keeps me coming back and also pushes me to recommend to family and friends.

Tony is super nice and I think he’s very honest. Says he gives the best price. Husband got old car fixed there couple times and had great service. I just went there for smog check and it was only $ 45! My previous place was $ 60. Definitely coming back if needed

Brought the ol’ 2004 car for its oil change on a Saturday afternoon. I really needed to leave it overnight (which really was two nights since they are closed Sundays).
I returned on Monday early morning to pick it up and drive it, no problem at all.
Tony and his sister (whose name I keep forgetting) are very nice, treating loyal customers almost like family.
They’ve taken care of an ’86 Cressida, until it died and also a 2000 Civic, until it too died. On top of that, both cars were sold by Tony on our behalf. Eh, a hundred bucks is better than just junking the car.
So somewhere on earth are car parts from these, unless they were bought by someone who know how to get dead cars reanimated!

Owners are very honest as all the other reviews have mentioned. I would also come here if you’re looking for a $ 35 smog that does not require a star station. Go here if you’re trying to save a couple bucks.
Thanks again T.H.

Tony is the main guy there, regular maintenance is what you need, this is the place. It’s on the way to work for me so it’s convenient for me. I just time my service between two cars. Reasonable prices, honest and good people.

I’ve been going here for the last 10 years and Tony has been working diligently on them. From simple oil changes to weird sounds I can figure out he does it all. Fair prices and no BS repairs. I’ve referred several people here and they’ve all been satisfied with the work.

TH auto is still a honest/​fair price shop, but what Tony (the owner) did is just not acceptable. I have been a customer for almost 7 years, I would still give him a low score. I have a rather complicated job on my 33 years old mercedes where the only way to replace the part is to cut out the old one. I told him on the phone that it is gonna required the part to be cut out (literally with a saw) and he still thinks that he can do it, told me to bring the car in. Its been 4 days after my car being tow to the shop. After two separate phone call where he told me that «he will look at it LATER». I knew he is not doing it, just trying to get us to take back the car by putting it off. I know because this is not my first time a car shop use this tactics on us.

Went in on a busy Monday morning expecting to have to wait for a smog check. Big surprise– no wait. They also fit in time to put in a new battery. They’re fast, friendly, and honest. What more could you ask from a local garage.

Always honest and Tony tries to get you the best price for the type of quality work he provides.

Tony and his wife are the nicest people! I brought my car in to get it to pass smog so I could sell it. I told them I wanted to see how much it would be before I invested more money in a car I’m trying to sell. He diagnosed the vehicle and fixed a hose on it. He kindly called me to explain what needed to be fixed and gave me an estimate. I decided not to invest anymore in the car but he was SO understanding and let me pick up the car at my convenience. The kindness and customer service makes this place great. You can tell Tony is an honest man and I will always trust him with my vehicles. The stress of car repair is really non existent here.

T.H. Auto Service is a great local autoshop — I was referred from customers who have taken their cars here for years. Tony doesn’t try to upsell or take advantage of his customers. I’ve been going to his place the last couple of years for basic car maintenance such as oil changes, changing front/​rear breaks, etc. It’s hard to find a trusty place to repair and/​or maintain your car… I’ve been to places where I feel like mechanics are trying to take advantage of me and my basic oil change bill suddenly can run into the $ 150 with all the «problems» that can potentially happen. I’m so happy I found this one! Ahhh a place to wait for my car with no hustle or upsell! Perfect!

Whoever is answering the phones 4:10PM on August 3^rd 2014 is rude called twice and just picks up and hangs up phone right away oh well take my money elsewhere! Stupid dummy! Yea u

The auto repair service was fairly quick, and the price was reasonable. Have been coming here for a while with the oil changes and brakes. Recently had a battery done for my car. Had the battery changed in just under an hour on a BMW, which some places aren’t able to replace without the proper equipment.
Service: Excellent ⁵⁄₅
Price: Reasonable ⁴⁄₅
Will be coming here for future repairs as they’ve been very reliable and local.

I love Tony and his wife. My husband has been coming here for years and so we now take my car in to him also. He is reasonable priced. He has never cheated me and he explains what needs to be done and he will show me what he needs to do so I can see for my self what needs to be done. Keep up the good work!

TH Auto is a humble auto service establishment in the city of Artesia. It’s been around for years and it’owned and operated by Tony Ton, a great guy who gets the job done without any BS.
His wife operates the front desk while he and his team do most of the auto work. I mainly come here whenever one of my cars needs a smog check. I should note that smog checks are their bread and butter, it seems. The other customers that were here when I visited last week were also in for smog checks.
Why’s that, you ask? That’s because his prices are low. He serves mainly the Chinese and Asian clientele of the Cerritos/​Artesia region and so seeking bargains is something that his target demographic regularly partake in. He also services just about every make and model (we have seven different cars at my home, and he’s worked on all of them).
So how long does a smog check take? 30 minutes. It’s no joke… assuming you call ahead or come when it’s slow.
In that time, you may want to consider walking across the street to Taco Bell or Burger King, or hell, DJ Bibinkahan or Kiko’s Lechon Manok (roasted chicken) if it’s the right time of day.

My family has been coming to this same mechanic for many years. Their prices are fair and reasonable in comparison with other automotive repair shops. At the times that I have a major service to my car, Tony always takes the time to explain and show the reason a part needs replacement or service is needed. They have dependable and detail-​oriented mechanics for auto repair needs.
They have good customer service. Tony and his wife are nice as well as kind. During the summer, I had a doctor’s appointment to go to in La Palma. His wife was thoughtful enough to drop me off to my appointment while my car was being serviced. I am grateful for this act of kindness and for going above and beyond for their customers.
