A2Z Autoworks

Pulled in yesterday around 1pm, going 5mph with my hazard lights on since my rear brakes seized. Talked to 3 shops before walking up to A2Z and finally felt comfortable handing over my car. I’m used to people taking advantage of those who are in a tight spot with their transportation, and I was worried I was going to be stranded 45 minutes away from home. James and Miguel made it RAIN! They took a look at it and told me no charge, or they would just add a half hour to the cost of the installation.
Doesn’t stop there though! They politely dealt with my questions and frustration, and replaced front + back rotors and drum hardware for under $ 360. They had stayed after hours till 8pm and had to run and pick up parts after their normal supplier had closed. The owner told me he wanted to make sure I got home safely, and I actually believed him! This was a day I really didn’t want to get stranded or screwed over at the mechanics, and it made my day a whole lot better.
Honest, generous, and hard working. Bring your car here!

$ 48.70 for an oil change is a bit steep — $ 25 for oil, $ 5 for a filter, and $ 16 for labor. I declined and went up the street to Firestone on Colima and got a synthetic blend oil change for $ 22 (with Unilocal check-​in). Owner was very nice but we have an older car and don’t find the need to overpay for good car service.

A good honest mechanic is so hard to fine these days. This shop was honest, up front, great prices & service. Really happy I found this place.

Visited A2Z on 5.21.15 for a routine inspection. James the owner and miguel the technician helped me ID a problem with my cars Tie Rods and Wheel Balance that was causing alot of shaking on my 2003 M45. I bought the M45 from one of their other owners Andy in 2008 and it’d been running strong till now with 140k miles.
The shops changed somewhat since i last reviewed them and they added a new lift and new diagnostic hardware. They have some new Japanese OEM tools and of course a typical Snapon Solus + their specialty tools for BMW and Mercedes benz as mentioned before.
They’ve also added a Tint and Vinyl Wrapping service thats excellent and geared toward high end cars.
They can Flash the BMW ECU as well as reprogram Mercedes benz ECU and Transmissions. And they also have a DynoJet 248 Dyno for custom tuning.
Staff:
James is knowledgeable as always he was the first guy to wire up a SR20DET into a 240sx in 1993, and has been my wiring guy since 2001, as he wired up my 1995 240sx to have a 1996 Sr20det from a S14 Silvia. While he’s the boss man now, he still inspects every car and no job gets out of there with out his approval.
Miguel, used to work at rotary secret and has been with James for 10 years. He’s an excellent technician and does a great job taking care of your car.
Overall its a great place to take your car to if you live in the area or want someone to work on your JDM or EURO car.

Solid place.

These guys are the best. They worked on my BMW 645ci and fixed the problems, at a great price! All OEM parts and explained what was done. Highly recommended!

Had a great experience! Needed a dyno pull last minute called and with no appointment was able to dyno my car the same day. Guys at a2z gave me a great deal with an oil change and gave me good informative advices. Saul is very knowledgeable and knows what he’s going. Would recommend friends and will come back for more pulls.

This shop is great. James and his crew really takes care of your car and you as a customer. He doesn’t up sale you for things you don’t need. They are honest and trustworthy. Prices are good and they use high quality parts. They are specialists with Nissan rb/​ka/​sr motors. This is my go to shop for all my cars.

Was recommended to this shop for custom tuning for my Nissan 370z. James, the shop owner, worked diligently to make sure it was done right and even worked on my car past closing time. Ever since then I have come back to him for all my parts. What I like about James is that he will recommend the best option for you and not just the most expensive. Also he will work with you personally to figure out what would best suit your driving style. In addition, his staff is very friendly and they make you feel welcomed all the time. Lastly, the price he charges is more than fair.

Best shop around and the only shop I would trust working on my r32 gtr.
It’s my baby that I’m keeping forever and passing it down to my son.
When you are looking for a shop to work on your car you want the 4 things.
1. Experience owner and crew, not some kids learning how to oil change with your car.
2. Knowledge about all kinda of make and model will help find the problem and fix it without giving you the run around.
3. Honest people, I’ve seen so many shop hassle people with crap they don’t need. This place not only tell you straight up they will tell you how to save money as well.
4. Pricing if you are expecting low price take your car to Pomona where you can find cheap labor but it’s your car and soon you’ll learn you get what you paid for. This place is nor cheap or expensive like stealer/​dealer it’s a good competitive price.
I know all this because I was a store manager at al & eds autosound and
Also an ex shop owner.
Always go to 2 or 3 place to get quotes and you’ll see what I mean by the above statement.

Got a oil change and he check over the whole car and told me what other services was needed

James is really good at diagnostics, brought in a 240 with stuttering problems for 2 years, brought it everywhere and no one can figure it out. James fixed it and tidy up the engine bay too. He also takes pictures of all the problems and sends it to you so you’re up to date. The price of the service was also very competitive. Wish I would have found this place first 2 years ago, would have saved me so much money on random parts I didn’t need to replace trying to figure out the problem

Owner James is super good at finding out the problem with cars, he not only repair the car but also offered me some options to upgrade my 2013 328i. No doubt he is the guy which is honest and skillful!
