Superior Auto Clinic

Short Version: I FOUND AN HONEST MECHANIC!
Long Version: Do you really care?!?
Paul’s been maintaining and fixing my car for 5 years. The Beast (my cars name) has got over 150,000 miles and runs great.
’nuff said!

Known Paul and father (Berj) forever! Over 40 years! Every repair has been precise, fairly priced and a permanent fix. His team knows exactly what to do and when to do it. Gladly recommend Superior Auto clinic for all repair needs!

The best… after my Dad of course. And I do not give out that title often if ever. I’m tough on mechanics. This place is Trustworthy knowledgeable and HONEST.
Very thorough as well.

Great place, trust Paul, Rudy, and the gang with everything. Honest and forthcoming is what you’ll receive when you take your vehicle to Superior.

I have been bringing my car here for years and cannot imagine ever taking it anywhere else. The owner Paul is amazing! He’s so trustworthy and great at letting his customers know what they need to fix now, and what can be done later. Paul is always looking to give his customers the best price, and truly goes out of his way to give his customers the best possible customer service. You can totally trust this shop and all his guys are great too, hard working and honest!

The very best and most honest auto repair shop in the S.F. Valley! I’ve been a customer for fourteen years and have recommended many people to this shop and they too continue to be long term customers as well. The owner, Paul, always explains everything and shows me the old part (s) that needed to be replaced. He and his shop are reliable and good people.

I’ve been coming here for over a decade and Paul always gives me great advice. The thing I really love about this place is that they give me options. If I don’t have the money to have everything done that needs to be done he tells me what I should get done first, and the timeframe for me to get the other things done. They have always given me consistently good work and they’re incredibly nice as well!

I have read some of the other reviews for this auto shop. I find that many of the reviews that rate this shop poorly do so because Their was more found to be done on their car then originally intended. I do not know much about auto repair however I do know that when I have dropped my car off at this shop Paul will call me and ask if I would like the additional work done to my car. I do not feel forced to follow through with the additional work/​cost. Also I cannot say if this shop has higher costs than most places. However I was recently involved in a car accident. After my insurance company inspected my car they told me that it would take 2 to 3 weeks for my car to be fixed and that I would have to rent a car. I was devastated. I dropped my car off at Superior auto clinic and they fixed it in less than a week. I was truly grateful.

Paul and his team have been servicing my cars for five years now — always excellent service. He explains all work and shows me the old parts. He also works me in when I have an emergency— like a dead battery. You will be in good hands with this team!

I’ve been going to Paul for years! He is the only mechanic I trust. He tells me what is essential to fix and what I can wait on fixing. Being a woman, it’s invaluable to have a mechanic who doesn’t take advantage of my wallet. I love this place.

I have been going to Superior Auto Clinic since 1999. Today again they solved a problem and saved me money. Paul is an outstanding auto shop owner. I used to bring my old Mitsubishi Galant there, and now I have been bringing my Jeep Wrangler there for the past 15 years. They have proven themselves time and time again as the most knowledgeable and trust worthy auto shop in LA.

I found Superior Auto Clinic when I drove down Magnolia. I liked how clean the business looked, so after work I called to ask about service. I wanted to have my oil changed, and my tires rotated and balanced. I also had a nail in my tire.
When I called, the owner answered and was very friendly and helpful. He continued to be friendly and helpful throughout the service.
I explained what I needed and asked for prices up front, which he adhered to. He showed me the nail and offered to plug it or patch it. Next, he showed me some things that required maintenance or replacement like a stabilizer rod and bushings. He was not pushy about fixing them immediately.
He did find that I had some lights out and replaced them for a reasonable price.
I would visit them again.

$$$$ DO NOT BEWARE — THIS HONEST MECHANIC IS AS GOOD AS GOLD $$$$
I moved to Hollywood and still take our cars to Paul for repairs and maintenance after 13 years. Once had an issue many years ago where Jiffy Lube (avoid like the plague) had all these issues I should take care of. Shortly after my steering became unresponsive. Turns out Jiffy Lube had drained my steering fluid (one of the issues they wanted me to fix). He topped it off at no charge. I admitted to him I know nothing about cars and even when I’ve gotten multiple quotes of repairs from various mechanics he’s always been among the cheapest. Now I don’t bother and just go to him.

Rudy was amazing very helpful & very sincere! See my check in for more info on my greeting experience.

I would highly recommend bring your vehicle here for maintenance. Paul and his guys are great. We bring our car here for minor things such as oil changes as well as more major issues. Paul has given us 3 sets of prices if possible for different repairs and lets us choose. He offers great advice and is a real true to his word kind of guy. My husband and I both come from the car industry and know when we are getting one pulled over on us-​we are happy to say that we have not had this happen at Superior!

$$$$$$CUSTOMER BEWARE$$$$$$$$ Please Read! (My personal direct customer experience)
Yesterday my girlfriend’s car broke down conveniently or rather inconveniently in front of this repair shop. When they diagnosed the problem they told her that her timing belt was busted and it was gonna cost a grand total of $ 700! When she called me to give me the prognosis I sense something real shady. There’s no way on in HELL a 1999 ford escort timing belt costs $ 700 to replace. So I decided to pay them a visit.
Upon my arrival this dude brilliantly did his best to describe to ME how the busted water pump caused the timing belt to rupture and how WE needed to replace all three pulleys? WTF!!! (He can sell ice to an Eskimo if you’re clueless about cars) Realizing that he was no longer dealing with some sweet innocent naïve blonde 24-​year-​old girl. He then suggested that he could fix the timing belt and leave the water pump alone for $ 400 to $ 450 bucks. (My bet it would’ve ended up closer to $ 450). I’m no mechanic but let me get this straight: At first you said the busted water pump caused the timing belt break but Now you’re saying that you could replace the timing belt and leave the water pump alone? If the water pump supposedly caused this problem in the first place why would you suggest fixing the time belt without addressing the core problem? SHADY My gut told me to advise my girlfriend not to take this offer.
If there’s one thing in life I detest it’s shady mechanics. I grew up in a single parent household and watched my mom get ripped off by guys like this. I will not sit and watch mechanics rip off young, innocent women whose only knowledge of cars is how to fill them with gas. We decided to have the car towed to another mechanics shop. And guess what happened… They fixed the timing belt, and there was ABSOLUTELY no issue with the water pump GRAND TOTAL $ 380. You do the math. Vote No on Superior Auto Clinic!!!
PS. Unilocal please know this is my DIRECT customer experience with Paul.

This is a place you can trust! Paul the owner and his crew are excellent. They provide good and thorough service. I drive quite a distance to have them service my car when it’s needed. He will tell you what’s needed now, and what can wait a bit. He takes the worry and panic out of going to an auto mechanic. He’ll walk you through the steps that need to be done to correct the problem properly and give you a quote. There should be more trusted business owners and mechanics like him.

It was my first here taking my car for repairs. I always pass this shop everyday I come to work because my office is on the same street and just a few blocks away. Paul the owner is nice and friendly. He doesn’t seem to over charge and the prices are very reasonable. There are ample parking and 3 entrances/​exits. The best part is they’re open on Saturdays. Thanks Paul for fixing my car. I would recommend your shop.

The best auto repair shop in L.A., possibly the country. There is a reason everyone knows the owner’s name — Paul is an honest man. Serviced my car here for 6 years. Superior Auto is the best.

It’s nice to know honest people exist .
Took my infinity here and they couldn’t fix it needed to be taken to the dealer.
Jack is an honest man not like most repair shops. Even being a female he didn’t try to take advantage .
Although we had no work done we will definitely bring our car here again.
