Our story
A Neighborhood Shop That Earns Your Trust
E & C Auto Repair is run by Eric and Carlos, the two mechanics customers thank by name in review after review. We handle repairs and regular maintenance for daily drivers across Los Angeles: brakes, alternators, steering, and everything in between. We take the time to show you what needs fixing and why before we touch a wrench.
We keep it simple: quick turnarounds, honest diagnoses, and very reasonable prices. Customers have trusted us with the same car for years. One regular has put 75,000 miles on his 320,000-mile Scion with our maintenance behind it. Whether your car needs a few hours of work or a Saturday-evening rescue, we're here seven days a week.
- Run by Eric and Carlos: you deal directly with the mechanics
- Open 7 days a week, including Sunday mornings

- Fast turnarounds: many jobs done the same day
What customers say
“Went in because my brakes were squeaking / were a mess. They communicated well, even going above and beyond. When I mentioned off-hand that my next errand was to get my tires patched and rotated, they took it to their neighbor and did it at no extra cost. Incredible! Can't recommend enough.”
“Thank you Eric & Carlos! they replaced my alternator in about 30 minutes; I brought in my own new part after trying (and failing) to swap it out myself. They were quick, kind, and very reasonably priced.”
“I have been taking my older car to Carlos for the last 6 years to have regular maintenance work done and any repairs that are needed. If you want a reliable mechanic to help you keep your older car maintained then this is your guy. My car is a 2005 Scion XB that has 320,000 miles on it and Carlos has helped me put the last 75,000 on it.”
