Adm Advanced Diagnostics, LLC

This is by far the best auto repair shop in Los Angeles. Albert, the chief mechanic, has been taking care of my cars for the last twelve years. He is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, dependable, friendly and reasonable. He has the ability to work on any vehicle, including domestics, high end imports and 4wd trucks. He has performed every type of service for me from basic maintenance to engine rebuilds and 4wd overhauls. What sets him apart from other shops is the pride he takes in keeping your automobile running at the highest performance possible without overcharging or recommending unnecessary repairs. He takes the time to explain exactly what the problem is with your vehicle and what he suggests to remedy that problem in the most cost effective and efficient fashion. He can also take care of the necessary smog certifications to keep your vehicle registered with the state. He is easy going and has a great sense of humor which makes paying for your repairs a little less painful. Once you use this shop you will never go anywhere else again.

I have been struggling for so long with getting my car to pass the smog test. I was told over and over the monitors aren’t ready so keep driving it (by multiple smog checkers and auto repair men). My car is high mileage so it pained me to drive as much as I was, but it still wouldn’t pass. I was running out of time and really needed California plates. I spoke with Albert Toros at ADM. He told me a fuse was blown so he replaced it. My monitors were ready all along. I am so happy I stopped by.

I went today because I started to have problems with the radiator hose, which had a hole.
He helped me by replacing my radiator’s main hose. I will mostly go back even though that will mean that my car is giving me problems.
I definitely recommend Albert.

Albert was a God send. I needed my car to pass its smog check, and after 4 trips to my regular mechanic where I would wait for at least an hour for him to check if it would pass, and 2 trips to the actual smog testing place where it failed both times, I thought I was just going to give up and just deal with the fact that my car won’t pass. I checked out Unilocal for places closer to me in West LA to get a smog diagnostics done and I found ADM. I drove up and immediately Albert checked my car computer and told me EXACTLY how to get my car to pass. When I did what he said (drive 55 mph on the freeway, cruising speed for about 50 miles without breaking) I brought my car back, he checked it again, and told me it was ready and sure enough it passed! I was so grateful and happy, and he didn’t even charge me anything. Such a nice guy who really knows what he’s talking about, because no one else had offered me that specific of advice before.
Thank you ADM!

There is nothing more frightening that your older car breaking down in a different town. My car broke down in Santa Monica and I was lucky enough to find this place less than a couple of blocks from the freeway exit. My engine was overheating and I barely made it there.
I was comforted by the owner, Albert, who told me I needed to wait about 25 – 30 minutes, before he could look at it. He was very courteous and nice, and super fast. As I was waiting there, he took care of 3 clients and ran a smog check as well.
He could have easily made a lot of money off of me for this and that, but he identified the cooling fan as the problem and I was on my way in less than 1.5 hours. I could not be more appreciative and happy about the experience.
I told all my friends in Santa Monica about Al and the prompt service. I would highly recommend this place.

Albert knows exactly what he’s doing. Overall, great business & I definitely will come back.

Brought my car in for a smog check and oil change. Good value. Very efficient. Very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent and generous service!!! Albert works quickly and is very considerate to customers. He took my «walk-​in» appointment right away and got the work done over the weekend. He is personable and wants to please the customer. I found the work done on my car to be incredibly satisfactorily especially his expedience of service. Highly recommend!

Best Service I could ask for!
I was on a road trip to LA (which I do that quit often) and I had some crazy noise from my new car. Guys at ADM fixed my car in a heart beat and I was on the road 30 minutes later. Price was the best and service… Well everything was THE BEST about this place …
