Z Technics

You must know why Mr. Kim’s place deserves 5 star ratings.
Price range super affordable, dealt with professional manner.
Moreover, he is such a nice guy.
Will highly recommend, and will go back there again when I need to.

Always a great experience when I take my car in for maintenance or an oil change. He’s so friendly, sincere and trustworthy– surprising (!) but important traits that I haven’t found at any other auto repair shop.
If he finds anything wrong with your car, he’ll call you first to explain and wait for your approval. When he’s finished, he’ll explain (and/​or) show you exactly what he did and the parts that he replaced.

Note: he no longer works on American cars. Sad, because I have a Ford, but I still recommend him if you have a non-​American car.

Who doesn’t love Mr. Kim? He won’t do you or your Honda wrong. Thank God for this place. Refreshing!

A few years ago I went to Z Technics, via recommendation from friends. I found Mr Kim to be a very knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. He clearly explains what needs to be done and work is performed in a very competent and timely manner. As a result, we have been going to him ever since. And I would highly recommend him to others

I visited Z Technics based on the Unilocal reviews and unfortunately, I walked away with a bad experience. I paid for the service before they started working on my car and returned to pick up the car when I was told that the work was finished.
Immediately on the drive back, I noticed that the same problem was still there. The day after, I took my car to another mechanic and was told that the work Z Technics did was of poor quality. They even used wrong tools. I will never return.

Definitely one of the best mechanics I’ve ever worked with! Friendly and honest service. Kim walked me through everything that he fixed and saved the day for sure — six stars if I could

Kim is the best. Honest. Clear. And Fast. Been coming here with my Toyota for 5 – 6 years. Would never trust a different mechanic. Dealership charges 3 to 4 times the amount Kim does. Simply great.

After driving and having cars repaired for over 20 years, I finally found a place that does excellent work, is truly honest, has very fair prices, and is easy to work with. Having one less thing to worry about in life is awesome.

An honest and hard working mechanic. Is willing to drop what he’s doing in order to talk to you so you’re not left hanging at the shop. Currently have had an ABS sensor replaced there as I supplied the part. Also having my maintenance light and oil change worked on as we speak. Great labor prices and a great person. If you’re in the SFV, he is definitely worth to check out.

Im usually too lazy to write Unilocal reviews but I know how hard it is to find a GREAT mechanic and I’m so happy I found Mr. Kim! My friend’s dad is a mechanic, so I always run my car issues by him to get price estimations. Most shops I called around Northridge quoted me higher than those estimates, however Mr. Kim quoted me at or less than those prices. He is very straightforward and honest and you can pick those vibes up from him right off the back.

Honest mechanic who does great work. His prices are fair too. I highly recommend him!

I was looking for a trustworthy technician to work on my vehicle and I can honestly say Kim is the guy.
I have problems trusting people to work on my car and I myself work on cars as well but with a 2 year old, it gets tough so I went to have a part replaced on my car and he did a phenomenal job! Thank you Kim :)

This is a real hidden mechanic treasure, My one and only mechanic!!! Kim and his staff (I think it’s just one other guy) have been so honest and really show care in their work! I never feel like their just trying to rip me off for money.
U tell him what u need or think is wrong with your car he tells u to bring it in, at ur appt. time of course. then he doesn’t even charge for diagnosis, he tells u what needs to be done and explains everything and answers whatever questions u have about it and tells u how much it would cost for the repairs/​maintenance and how long it will take. SIMPLE AS THAT! He takes his time with u and u won’t feel rushed or pressured but he does let u know if its an urgent repair.
Just make sure u either have someone to pick u up if u don’t want to wait around; he does not have a waiting room (I wish he had at least a little waiting room) or there’s a Starbucks and few other stores a few blocks away that are in walking distance.
*Expect $$ to be way less than any dealership or chain maintenance place out there *
and if it cost more he has a good reason and will explain it to u!
Kim really is the best mechanic I’ve ever had so far and I hope he never changes and keeps the reasonable prices!

Car whisperer, mechanical ninja, vehicular genius — honest, fair, inexpensive, cannot say enough about Mr. Kim!
First time I stopped by was about 4 years ago. Spent 60 minutes driving and looking over my aging Lexus and gave me his honest opinion without charging me a cent for his time.
When my cars’ warranties end I always take them to him. And my mother, who never likes any mechanics loves and trusts him.

Thank you again Mr. Kim for fixing my water pump and thermostat for a fair price. Mr. Kim always fixed my BMW e46 in the past and now he has fixed my BMW e90. Always honest and no BS. He explains in detail what went wrong and even shows you the broken part. If you have a BMW he can fix it. He also owns a BMW. Go here if you have passed your BMW warranty and want a quality mechanic at a more than fair price.
I also had a side view mirror that was loose and for some reason it’s tight a drum now. It’s like my car went in to the fairy pool in Zelda and all is healed =)

My 80+ yr old mom lives in the valley, but always drives to San Gabriel to see a mechanic. In an effort to minimize her time on the road, I rearched online and found Z Technics had awesome reviews and she paid him a visit today. Her check engine light was on, and she can’t pass the smog check with the check engine light. She went to see Mr Kim at 9am, and even though he had 5 cars, he took a quick look and helped her clear the check engine light for the next 100 miles so she could get a smog check. Mr Kim didn’t even charge her, and was super kind, sincere and amazing! My mom called him a beautiful kind man! Everyone should send their moms here!

Kim is a very good guy. He’s friendly, sincere and highly capable as a mechanic.
If you are in the valley area and your car needs tending to, you can rest assured that both you and your car will be treated right by Kim.

I went once for a oil change. The guy is really honest and lives up to the Unilocal reviews. He didn’t try to overcharge me just cause I’m a girl.
He explained everything he did to my Prius and told me when I should come back for a basic check-​up and even gave me the price.
I think I found my new mechanic!

Mr. Kim is absolutely wonderful.
He’s straightforward, very quick, and very kind.
He doesn’t try to make you pay for more than really the material cost. I thought we’d lost honest people who love their work, but Mr. Kim is fair proof that there is a sincere man who wants to give you the best left in the world. ^^ 5-​stars for Z Technics!
I will be back (and coming from out-​of-​the-​way) just to have my car (s) serviced by him!
