W M Auto Service

The alternator died on my Honda Accord and had to find a mechanic ASAFP! These guys stayed late on a Friday evening to wait for me and my tow truck. They fixed my alternator by 11am the next day and charged me an extremely fair rate. Mad respect

Took my car in for a once over before taking a trip. Nothing wrong and no charge. This is the kind of mechanic that you want. Doesn’t make up things just to have a service fee. Thanks Walid!

Great guys, needed some work done on my wife’s car and they completed on time and as promised.
Fair pricing and friendly. Recommended

New update. Brought in mine and my boyfriends car a couple times recently. We were starting to trust them so whenever we had a issue they were the first we would go to. My boyfriend has a Mazda 626 and noticed it was leaking — brought it in «no leak» — okay, cool. Nothing to worry about. A week or two later, something else that was irrelevant happened to the same car so I brought it to another trustworthy shop close to my work since it was conveniently located. Turns out there had been a leak this whole time. That’s one strike.
It had been about that time where I needed to fix my brakes so of course, first shop I bring it to is here. Almost always, I buy the parts I need from Autozone (whatever is the best I can get from them) and have the shop install it — they weren’t too happy about that but they did it anyways. Just a couple days after getting my brakes fixed, it was still squeaking — louder and louder everyday. When I called the shop to tell them my problem, he told me «that’s what you get for getting other parts from someone else». I mean, maybe they’re right but he was pretty rude about it and really made me feel stupid that I almost didn’t want to go to them for help. It was frustrating. I did end up going back and replacing the brakes again — Autozone replaced the part for free and the shop did the same but still. Overall, I was not happy with my experience and I won’t be coming back.
You don’t treat customers that way and you’ve lost my trust.

Engine light came on. Manny hooked up a machine to see why. The gas cover gasket had a malfunction in the sensor. Reset computer. Problem solved. NO CHARGE!!! The best auto repair shop ever.

Found this little place tucked away, by accident one day. Hard to see from Culver blvd.
I was in dire need of having my brakes done.
Called up, to get a quote, brought my car in and literally was in and out in 1 hr. They were extremely fair on the price. And I will for sure be back. Thought it might be one of those little neighborhood gems, you kinda want to keep to yourself, but judging by the Unilocal reviews, looks like I’m too late.
Repeat customer.

These guys did a great job on my GF’s 2015 Jeep today. One of her idiot co-​workers told her she could save money by using Diesel in her car instead of Unleaded. Wallid got me in an out in one day for under $ 130. Pretty good when you read horror stories of people who have to completely replace there engine when they do the same thing. I will be back with any other car issues!

If I had to describe this place in one word it would be honest. I have been going to this place for 8 years now and I couldn’t imagine wanting to go anywhere else. Anytime I had an emergency or needed help Wallid has always been there to help me. I’ve been through a transmission, fuel pump, ball joints, many oil changes and most recently today a new starter. Thanks to him and his crew my truck continues to run strong. I consider him a friend and constantly recommend him to friends and Family and will continue to do so. Thank you Wally!

Walid & staff are the best — reliable, honest work EVERY visit… at reasonable prices! It can be very hard to find an honest mechanic. Trust these guys with your car.

Stopped by WM today and they were super helpful. I’ll definitely be sending folks their way!

My go to Car shop. Great honest deal and easy to work with. Fantastic service for LA.
I continue to use this business for our all of family’s cars-​all with some miles on them — and I am always very satisfied. They explain our options and err on the side of safety and caution, which we do too. Great find!

Had to tow in my vehicle that won’t start. Since I haven’t used any car shop in a while, I didn’t know which one of the gazillion shops around is a reliable one that won’t charge me an arm and a leg.
Found WM through Unilocal and it seems to be a wise choice. The guys who work there are very straight forward. They diagnosed the issue and fixed it in reasonable amount of time. Even though their rates are not the cheapest, it’s still within the reasonable.

Very Helpful!, Asked Questions!, Super Fast Job!
I attempted to change my 2010 Kia Soul’s timing belt, water pump and other accessory belts and realized that I was over my head. Accidentally cause my timing to jump, and was sweating thinking I had messed up the motor due to it being an interference engine (if the motor turns with no belt, you end up with holes in your cylinders and will need a new motor). So I called around a few shops who said «no, can’t work on it», or «yeah, sure bring it in». I was referred to WM by a Transmission around the block from home and when I called and spoke to Walid (Sorry for the spelling), He asked questions, asked what the car was doing, suggested what to do, and ultimately said he’d take a look and gave me a price. It was the Wife’s car and without realizing that I had mentioned that I rode a bike and that was the only other mode of transportation, he was considerate enough to surprise me next day with a completed repair and installation of the items I had brought in to be replaced. The Cost was very reasonable (½ the dealer cost, and per Kia forums, a few members in states throughout the US stated that it was a very good price).
Walid and his 2 mechanics are very friendly. The shop is very clean, and they seemed very knowledgeable of what they are doing. I will be recommending them to friends and family and I will be coming back for future repair needs.
If you are wondering if there are any issues with the vehicle, I purposely waited before posting, and now 2 months later, the car is working like new.
A+++ Business and I’m fortunate to live about a mile from them.

After 10 years they finally couldn’t fix my truck or didn’t want to. I needed a new distributor and they charged me for fixing every other part that you could imagine
They were just not competent enough I guess.
Not only that but I have another car where they stripped a couple nuts causing me a lot of aggravation. Watch out if Walid is trying to tell you your batteries dead though. He’s just going to get you a cheapo one that doesn’t have enough amperage when you didn’t even need one and they buy their parts from a 3^rd rate supplier (Braddok auto parts)

Couldn’t ask for a better mechanic. Honest and excellent prices. They quoted me $ 2,300 less than Modest’s for repairs to my Nissan Altima.

This place is the best. Between my girlfriend and I we have three cars and WM always fixes them all as honesty and affordably as possible, which includes a couple times where they didn’t even charge for something. I don’t know what else to say except you should feel lucky to be able to have a shop like this close by and should use it for all your auto fixing needs!

I was recommended to WM through a client of mine. I was really surprised about how much Wally knew about my car and could tell me how and why the problem was happening. My car was leaking oil and I thought it would be a simple gasket replacement from the oil pan. But it happens that with my make of car, it is normal for the problem to be in the oil housing area.
My car was fixed and ready for pick up in a matter of hours and the price was reasonable. So greatful to have found this place and wonderful people that are very knowledgeable. I will definitely be back.

These guys are great. They are honest, do good work, and show you what’s going on. Originally, my fiancé and I went to Ford for a service and mentioned that there was a strange noise in the car. Ford came back with a list of «needed repairs» totaling over $ 2000. I said «F*** that. They are crooks. Let’s get a second opinion». The guys at WM were able to show us what REALLY needed to be done. They looked over the list from Ford and said that none of those things were necessary. They fixed the noise problem, showed us what they did so we had proof and an understanding of the issue. They communicated with us throughout the day as needed and did what they needed to do only after we gave consent (unlike Ford who went ahead with services we didn’t approve) And we left paying under $ 600 after all was said and done.
We will definitely be going back to WM auto service!

I’ve trusted Walid and Cesar with my Subaru from the beginning. They change my oil, rotate my tires, and even more.
One day, I was having some wheel trouble with my girlfriend’s car. Not entirely trusting the tire service location where I hoped to have the repairs done, I took the car to W M Auto Service. It was a Saturday morning, and Walid hopped in the car and took it for a drive around Culver City. He then lifted the car for me, inspected its bearings, and concluded that the tire service was making an incorrect assumption about the tire. He never charged me, and gave me an honest recommendation that saved me about $ 250.
This is the kind of honest attention you would hope to get from an auto mechanic.

I’m so mean to my car.
I forget oil changes, run the brakes down till it’s metal on metal, knock off side view mirrors (hey, it’s more aerodynamic!) and in general just abuse it on a daily basis. So when I finally get around to dragging my car into WM, it’s because there’s serious trouble. Trouble that, at any other garage, would require deep pockets, migraine meds and a hell of a lot of waiting. Not at WM.
Destroyed rear brakes and new front rotors? Give them an afternoon and about $ 360. Check engine light problem? They’ll help run some tests so you can pass your smog. My family and I will take our cars nowhere else. Walid and his team are everything your typical repair shop is not: honest, friendly, fast with excellent work that they stand by. There’s a reason there’s nothing but rave reviews — truly the best mechanic out there.
