Kevins Transmission Radiator & Auto Repair

Great customer service… and they know exactly whut there doing. honest when it comes to repair… they dont try to rip you off like other mechanics

Hard working honest mechanics.

Calling All Landcruisers !!! Finding a good automotive mechanic in LA is similar to trying to find a needle in a HayStack!!! It is amazing how many shops out there employ untrained workers. NOT HERE! Kevin knows a good mechanic when he sees one, and I agree… I have a VERY difficult car to work on, a Toyota Landcruiser. It requires you to be sharp, and precise to do many repairs. Not that a LandCruiser breaks often (Consumer reports best repair history), but when it does — it is not a backyard job. Not only will you find skilled workers here, but you will also find exceptional pricing. For example, a standard service required by Landcruisers after 100K miles is to have the front axle seals changed. All shops gave me an estimate of $ 750 to do the job. Kevin came in at $ 350 plus parts. I bought the parts online for $ 140. Do the math and you get a savings of $ 260!!! Thats huge! Not to mention they had a job that is specified to take 10 hours done the same day. Amazing! If they can fix my Cruiser, they can fix any car you might have… give them the challenge!
Update 3÷08÷08 After taking many cars here and spending alot of money, I had my first bad experience. I had a power steering pump installed. I bought the genuine original part brand new directly from Toyota and took it to them to have installed. One week later I sprouted a massive leak to the tune of 1 quart a day that pretty much left my truck unuseable. I called them up and they told me to bring it to the shop for a checkup. I nurse it 4 miles leaking fluid all over the place, and get it up to them. Once there the owner proceeds to tell me without even looking at the vehicle «No warranty, because you brought the part». I said «you’re joking right, this must be a joke» and he repeated himself again. Mind you I never caused any problems for this guy, and sent him alot of work which was always paid in cash. That’s no way to treat a loyal customer. Now very angry that I just wasted my day and leaked fluid everywhere I stormed out. His mechanic followed me and looked at it himself. It was only the fluid return hose that was leaking. No doubt because of the install.
I took my truck home got a ride to the auto parts store, got a new hose and clamp ($ 20, thanks Kragan Auto Parts) and fixed it myself.
Since this experience I had an alternator go out on my 4runner, guess who fixed that? ME! I’ll never take anything back to them again. So in summary, they had good value, but be careful of questionable business practice. Sorry if anyone else experienced the same results.
