V & S Services

V & S Services is an outstanding auto repair service! I have taken my car here for six years now and always receive quality service, reasonable prices and deal with a top notch personal touch. Vic is very personable, sincere and has the utmost integrity. He will never push an unnecessary service on you. Today, I was hoping to get an oil change after work. A new employee, Shane, ensured I got my oil change. Shane was conscientious, personable and very responsible. He struck me as a younger version of Vic. I could tell Shane really loves working at V & S Services and I know the mechanics are top notch also. I would highly recommend V & S Services. You will always receive top notch service from people who are actually competent and enthusiastic at their jobs, always at a fair price. David M.

Blew tire on the freeway, barely made it to them. I have custom tires, they had all the specialized equipment. Shane and Jesus hooked up a tire change and I was out of there within 30 minutes, they were awesome. They did an great job and saved me from a very shitty day

Vic is so helpful! My daughters tire was very low on air so I pulled in here. Vic greeted me and said he could repair the tire right away. There is a very clean, comfortable waiting area. Glad I found this jem!

Vic is amazing, caring mechanic. He is a quick and efficient communicator, and for someone who isn’t a «car» person, he breaks it down so I get it. He is knowledgable and his prices are very respectful. Very fast service! Highly recommend.

I work across the street from here and needed a quick oil change. And I mean, I had 20 mins to spare and needed it done. I went in, Vic was very helpful and had his guys change the oil in about 10 minutes. They were wonderful, and had excellent service. Definitely going back!

I’ve been going to Vic for about 12 years now; starting with a 4-​year old VW followed by a new Nissan which is now 8 years old. The service is personal, professional, and honest. I’ve never had the slightest thought of him steering me wrong or taking advantage of my lack of knowledge about cars. I bring it in regularly for oil changes without fear that he’ll «find» issues that «need» to be fixed. I’ve brought my car in thinking it may need major repairs and he told me it was nothing – and he turned out to be right. I’ve brought him a quote from the dealership and he told me which items were really necessary and which weren’t – and charged me hundreds less. When he does a tune-​up, he lists all the recommendations but then lets me know which are more urgent and which can wait so I can decide. I would highly recommend him. In fact I have – to friends and family – and they’ve been happy with his service too.

I honestly and personally recommend this place I have been getting my car serviced here with vic for so many times with all my cars. great guy understanding.. great service. I have been knowing vic since 2005 and I still take my cars to get worked on. I highly recommend him. stop by for any repairs you need for your car, he is the right guy. also a guy you can trust.

No reason to go anywhere else. Honesty, integrity, solid and knowledgeable, excellent work, fair prices. Vic, the owner, is a great guy who will go out of his way to help. From an oil change to substantial motor work, they’ve never let me down.
Highly recommended!

V & S has been my go-​to place for about three years; oil changes, new tires and all maintenance (ever since I literally blew a tire across the street at the gas station). I had been meaning to get new tires, had done my research on the cost and knew what I wanted. Since my situation was what it was, Vic easily could have overcharged me, but chose to charge me exactly what I had been quoted. He was accomodating and fixed my tires right away. He really went above and beyond.
In general, I love supporting my neighborhood businesses, so I feel really lucky to have a car service shop literally walking distance from my house. They really go above and beyond for me and it’s made me a loyal customer.
Bummer on the negative message below from Erik C., but it seems as though there may have been some confusion on payment. My assumption is that payment is always due upon completion of work?
Hopefully people will read the other Unilocal reviews before they make their decision.

Just took my car in for an oil change. Went to run errands and the year 2014 Jeep is saying low oil pressure, check engine light is on. Vick is not there and the guys in the garage are saying they may not be able to fix it without him. I’m supposed to leave for AZ tomorrow. Trying to get back before they close to see if they can fix this problem. At the doctors. Keep you posted.

Let’s see. Vic, the owner of V &S Services first met Theo, my 2009 Toyota, back in 2009. The first 6,000 miles, or two oil changes, Theo went to a Toyota dealership. I waited for my car both times at this particular Toyota dealership. Both times I waited over 3 hours. And I was one of the first customers at the dealership!
Pissed off, I asked my cousin where he takes his car. He recommended Vic and his friendly staff at V & S Services 310−391−1778. Apparently my cousin’s mom has been taking her car to Vic for over 15 years
Well, almost six years and 115,000 later, Theo drives the same as when he was five months old and only 6,000 miles. All thanks to Vic and his crew. The brake pads Vic put in to replace OEM brake pads have lasted longer and more miles put on them than the original.
All the women who are hesitant to take their cars to an auto mechanic by themselves, meaning without a male accompanying them, this write up is for you.
Vic is honest and friendly. He will let you know or suggest to you if something needs to be replaced or worked on with your car. Vic will not force you to change your air filter because there is a spec of dust on it, like some oil and filter chain establishments do.
He listens to you and suggests. Also, ask him to guesstimate how much parts and labor will end up being. You’ll be shocked at how Super Reasonable his prices are. I have driven this Earth of ours for over 40 years, so I’ve met a few mechanics. None better than Vic and V & S Services.
Oh, my longest wait for an oil change was around 30 minutes, not 3 hours. Of course, I show up when the shop first opens for me to have a short wait time. But I also did that at the Toyota dealership and I waited… well, you already know how long I waited there.
Theo is due for his first ever spark plug replacement. Maybe Vic will cut me a deal because I wrote such a wonderful review of his shop? Just Kidding Vic.
All joking aside, Theo the Toyota will forever be worked on by Vic and his pit crew.

I was recommended to V & S by a friend. I had been having continued problems with my car. I had taken it to other mechanic shops who could not diagnose the problem. The stage I was at, before I went to V & S, was above frustration.
What a difference a recommendation can make! I went to their shop and I was pleasantly greeted by the owner, Vic, who made me actually feel welcome. I immediately saw that he and his staff were very knowledgable and thorough as they investigated the problems with my car. Their shop was clean and their staff was very professional. They were able to troubleshoot the problem and repair my car not only in a timely manner but with a fair and reasonable price! Unheard of in this industry!
I highly recommend V & S to everyone that needs their cars fixed and wants great service, timely repairs with outstanding prices!

Vic (the owner) is SUCH a gem!!!
He understood my budget situation and went WAY out of his way to save me money and still perform what was necessary on my car. I am a VERY happy customer and I highly recommend V&S when you need work done to your car. :o)

I’ve been coming to Vic for years but only recently realized how awesome he and his crew really are. My wife’s car broke down and I had it towed to Vic’s. It needed an alternator but I knew that there was a small leak in the cooling system as well. I had new tires put on the car a few months before, and at the time the shop I had brought it to said they could fix the leak for $ 1000. Since the car was at V and S, I asked Vic to take a look at it. He called me a little while later and he said he could fix the leak for ¹⁄₃ of what the other shop quoted me. He changed the alternator, recharged the battery, fixed the leak and did a lube and oil change all for much less than what I had been quoted earlier for the leak alone. The whole time Vic was in contact with me and didn’t do any work until he got the okay from me. He also did us a favor and took care of another small issue at the last minute and had everything done within a day! Overall, Vic is a stand up guy and won’t screw you over. I know I will be going to V and S for years to come. They are honest, friendly, and Vic and his guys know their stuff.

I met Vic by accident and all I can say is I hope those kinds of «accidents» keep coming. Vic has taken care of two of my classic cars and has been professional as well as watched the «bottom» line when it comes to prices for parts etc. I would highly recommend him and I have done so on Google or any other place I can say how good he is!

Vic has been taking care of my family for years now. I trust him and his mechanics completely. They provide honest and friendly service. I seriously feel like I’m taking my car to a trusted family member. I have always gotten my car back the same day, and he communicates every step of the process clearly and completely. I could not recommend their service more.

I wish negative stars was an option. Even one star is too good.
I drove here on a flat tire at about 5:40pm and as I pulled into the parking lot with my hazard lights on, the mechanic who wouldn’t give me his name was shutting the garage door. I parked the car and asked if he could help me with the tire. He said «No.» Just like that. No. I asked, please, nothing else is open and it’ll take less than 10 minutes. He said «sorry, baby (!!) exactly, we’re closed.»
I won’t lie… I was mad and said, «I hope your mother sister daughter never ask for help from somebody like you.»
He proceeded to say that I thought I deserved things because of the car I was in. Really?! That’s how you treat people. Fine you’re closed. Fine you won’t help humankind out. But «baby» and then discriminating against me because of my car?!
It was the most horrific and blatant form of gender discrimination and prejudicial treatment I’ve ever received in my life.
I wouldn’t even recommend them if they were the last dirt bags on earth. I’d rather walk 100 miles than give them even a single cent. Disgusting human beings.
There are AMAZING mechanics out there who will treat you well and be honest, and not discriminate based on gender or car type! This crappy shithole is not one of them.

If you are looking for an honest, truthful mechanic and auto shop, this is your place!
Vic and his staff have been looking after my family’s auto for over 15 years now!
Vic truly cares about your car and about you, giving you caring service!!!
Single Gals out there, Vic will NOT take advantage of you and give you honest good service!

at first I was satisfied withy my experience when I got my brakes fixed but after about a 5 months later my brakes started squeeking again! Went back in to get it checked out again. They said my brakes were fine and just needed cleaning. Brakes were fine for about a month and then started squeeking again!!!
Due to that I probably won’t go back and have someone else check out my brakes… sadly because the staff was friendly and I had a good first impression.

I don’t know what happened to this listing or my previous review, but this gem of a business HAS to be on Unilocal.
If you need a good, fast and – gasp! honest mechanic, V&S is the place to call.
After having been ripped off for years at various places across the Westside, I wanted to try the guys at Barrington Motors who have amazing recommendations here on Unilocal.They don’t service American cars and sent me to Vic at V&S.
Vic is amazing, always smiling and a pleasure to deal with. He’s competent, his prices are consistently below other mechanic’s estimates and has never, ever pushed me for work I didn’t need. On the contrary, he’s saved me more than a few buck on more than one occasion. The crew at his shop is also very nice, they work well and their turnaround time is just incredible.
I was there today for a nail in my tire, and not only Vic «waved me through» immediately but he didn’t charge me; and I had to insist to at least let me tip the guy who actually did the work. I mean, they know I will be back (as a matter of fact tomorrow, with a car that I’m thinking of buying and that I want Vic to check out for me), but this is serious customer service.
Also, the high quality of service is consistent, and all the friends I have referred to V&S are now loyal customers as well.
I think I’m set for life and I will never, ever stray.
