Join the Larsen Automotive Family - See What Our Clients Are Saying

Larsen is the only mechanic that I will ever use while I live in Los Angeles. The team is first and foremost, honest in their coast and assessment. They have probably saved me thousands by keeping my car running smooth and adding years of life to the car. They are the best!

My mechanic retired and I had to find a new shop. Nick and Don are both great ! They only fix what needs fixing. No BS . I take 3 cars to them. They get my highest recommendation

We have a 2018 Toyota Corolla that only has 56K miles on it, and unlike most families in LA, we are a 1-car family. That means that our car is vital, especially since we have an active 10-year-old who has a lot of activities to get to. Our Check Engine light has been going on and off, so our usual mechanics (Dennis and Bob at Ed Little) told us to take it to Don at Larsen because our mechanic doesn’t have the diagnostic tools that Don does. Admittedly, I was nervous. My wife and I have been burned before with shady mechanics. Plus, my dad passed away last year, and I would call him for advice on car-related matters, so to not have him to call for something other than routine maintenance made me anxious. Dennis and Bob at Ed Little on Sepulveda were the first mechanics we’ve grown to trust implicitly, so when they said to go to Don at Larsen, I knew that’s where I had to go. But from the moment I pulled into the Larsen lot, I felt completely at ease. Everyone who works there looks happy to be there, and they were joking around with each other. I had spoken to Don on the phone before bringing my car in, and he told me to ask for him when I dropped the car off. I really appreciated that personal touch. Don walked me through exactly what he suspected was happening and what he was going to do. I also had a hard out in which I needed the car (remember, we are a one-car family), and he assured me he’d have it back to me before that. I won’t get into what was needed, but I will tell you that it was a 2-day process. Don even asked me when I picked up the car after the first day when I would need it back the next day, remembering that we have only one car and I have a kid who needed to picked up, etc. Don outlined everything that was going on with my car, and when I told him things were a little tight financially, he didn’t make me feel guilty or bad about it. He walked me through my options and gave me the advice I needed to fit my current financial situation. Plus, during both days, the car wound up being ready earlier than anticipated. I love that they text when the car is done. Also, I have to thank the mechanic who worked on my car. I know they were especially efficient and went above and beyond in many ways, and I am so grateful. Honestly, when I picked up my car after it was all done, I could’ve hugged Don. It was the first time I had gone through something automotive-wise that I couldn’t call my dad about. And so I know this sounds weird, but I really felt safe and looked after. It’s unnerving when you don’t understand something that costs a lot of money to maintain. It takes a lot of trust because there are too many people out there who take advantage of this. So if you need anything diagnostic done, I really couldn’t recommend Larsen Automotive more.

Very honest mechanics I feel they do a very good job and feel comfortable with their assessments. I will continue to use there services

I had an excellent experience with Larsen Automotive. My vehicle has a fairly complex system that required a shop with the right experience and attention to detail. After multiple other shops were unable to take on the work, I was referred to Larsen Automotive because of their reputation for quality and dedicated service. They handled everything professionally from start to finish, completed the work within a reasonable timeframe, and charged a fair price for the work involved. Most importantly, they were honest and transparent about what needed to be done and the work they performed. It can be difficult to find a shop you feel comfortable trusting with more complicated repairs, and I genuinely appreciated the level of care and professionalism I received here. I would absolutely recommend Larsen Automotive to anyone looking for knowledgeable, honest, and reliable automotive service.

Came in without an appointment when the shop opened for a smog check. While there was a line of cars waiting for service when I arrived, the line moved quick and I was immediately attended to by staff. The estimate on when the service would be completed was accurate and I was quickly on my way to work. Customer service was excellent and the price reasonable. As a first time customer, I'll definitely return. Thanks!

I had a slow leak in one tire. I brought my car in without an appointment, and even though the shop was quite crowded and busy, they promptly found the puncture, removed the nail, and patched the tire. I was on my way sooner than I expected.

Nick and Lily are great at helping, even with unusual vehicles… I had a very old van that they helped me to keep running. They have a great team and are honest about the work that needs to be done!

My maintenance work was very well completed. Thank you.
