5 /5 doorstampyellow: I highly recommend Vinces Auto Services. I have been a satisfied customer since 2006. I have owned about 40 cars. I am a home hobbyist, mechanic and do, perhaps, 90% of all repairs myself.
Vinces team has repaired that last 10% on my Mercedes and Jaguar, with AC services, help to pass Smog, change injectors, Intake Manifold Gaskets, Engine Mounts, Differential and transmission services. We have really good communication and I understand all the steps involved in a repair.
In the 13 years, Ive had Vince work on my older 80s cars, every single repair was correctly done and charged appropriately. The turnaround time for service was always reasonable.
I have even driven 60 miles to his Pasadena garage to bring in my Jaguar XJS V12 to review and pass for smog, even though there were closer specialists, available to me.
If you want quality work and be treated with great respect, go see Vince. If you have a budget limit, tell him. He will tell you what has to be fixed and what can wait.
