Jay is the best!! I can’t recommend this place enough. After 4 years of living in LA, I am so grateful to have found this place. Jay is so good at what he does, and always so helpful and attentive when I come in. The prices are more than fair! Best auto shop in LA!!!

An incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and honest working man. He runs his business alone so allowing him time to work on a car is your best bet. With that you can count on a superior well job done. He's made a reputation out here in LA through his work ethic, for every time I come he has at least 2 regulars awaiting. I've even become pals with two other regular clients, one of which has been coming here for 15 years. I've found it to be beneficial having patience with him when he speaks to you about your car, and also by asking him questions to better clarify, if needed, afterall the guy gives great tips on and about cars, especially after working on yours specifically.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting an auto garage in Los Angeles, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly and efficiently assessed my vehicle's needs. Their expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the service, and the final result exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this auto garage to anyone in need of reliable and professional car maintenance or repair services.

I came here last minute, the owner was able to check what's wrong with my car. The price estimation was a lot better than other places I checked. Very thorough and honest owner, I highly recommend this place for any fix other than wheel alignment service.

It is a small place so I was at first skeptical but, now I am a regular. Best services. Fair price. Great customer service. He accepts walk in’s and it’s never too busy. Changed my Prius tires and converter here before.

Very good service, fast and cheap. Very trustworthy! 1/4 the cost of the dealership for the same quality of repairs. I stopped going anywhere else for any maintenance, the head mechanic here just knows his stuff he's incredibly honest and faid about pricing

This mechanic is the best I've ever been to in LA. If your car needs one, take it to Jay at Melrose Auto Repair, and you'll never go to anyone else if you can help it. I was referred to Jay after a few years of skeezy and lackluster mechanics, and was so relieved to find someone as trustworthy, highly skilled, and reasonably priced as him. Honestly, I should've written this review years ago. This is the umpteenth time he's fixed my car in short order and at a very reasonable price. His honesty deserves 6/5 stars, and he's damn good at what he does! I've been recommending him to people ever since he first fixed my car.

​Best place ever! Honest, great price, fast check up. I recently took my car to an auto shop for a routine oil change. After oil changed, they insisted my brake pads needed immediate replacement, claiming my driving habits were to blame for their rapid wear (despite having replaced them less than a year ago). They pressured me by saying that failing to replace them immediately would lead to a more expensive job involving the brake discs. ​Seeking a second opinion, I visited Melrose Auto Shop today. ​The owner was super professional. He performed a thorough visual inspection, using a camera to clearly show me the condition of all my brakes. He confirmed that the brake pads were not yet close to needing replacement and would be good for several more months. ​I am incredibly thankful for his honesty! He saved me from an unnecessary expense, and he did not charge for the inspection. ​I will definitely be returning to Melrose Auto Shop for future car maintenance. Their prices, including for an oil change, also seem to be more competitive than other places I've called. It is a relief to find such a trustworthy mechanic!
