Signal Hill Foreign Auto Service

I originally took my Audi S3 to this shop during a really stressful moment because I needed the car fixed fast for an urgent situation, and I trusted them to actually look into what was going on. Instead, they hit me with a huge bill and gave me the laziest “diagnosis” I’ve ever seen. They didn’t check anything properly, didn’t give me photos, didn’t give me compression numbers, didn’t do a real bore scope, nothing. They just jumped straight to “replace everything” like that was the only option instead of actually finding the root of the problem. I was even told I was missing a valve??? When I had it inspected by a much more capable shop, I clearly saw all my valves in my motor. They also wanted to replace both cams, yet when only ONE was replaced by their neighbor, my car runs perfectly fine. They really tried to upsell me into a full rebuild without proving anything was wrong. Then I took the same car to Euro Car Clinic, and the difference was insane. Euro Clinic actually tore the engine down, checked timing, checked compression, did a real bore scope, found the stretched chain, found the fuel pump leaking into the oil, replaced the right parts, and showed me every step with pho

Work was great, a little on the costly side…but good. Would’ve been 5 stars but they left my battery terminal completely loose…luckily they didn’t disconnect when I was in the middle of driving…got in my car about 2 hours after getting home to run an errand, and they battery wasn’t being picked up at all, which then led to me figuring out it was because both the positive and negative connectors on the battery terminal weren’t tightened at all… Glad it wasn’t hazardous. Quality customer service.

Took my car to this shop because it wasn’t idling properly, they took it on a 20 mile “test drive” for some reason to see if it would die “on idle”. All it seemed to be was a small electrical connection but still there was no need for a test drive to be that long or even at all if it’s an at idle problem. Charged me 40 for gas when a full tank is 50-60$ got it back at less than half a tank. Like really they think customers are dumb Got my car back with a burnt ass clutch, my CDs sifted through, things in my car changed places that could have stayed put. They clearly don’t care about the idea of just working on the vehicle they are going to touch your stuff too. Love driving on a soft clutch now til I can afford a service on it. I’m a full time student with two jobs just to afford cost of living, now you throw a burnt clutch in my face, bravo blond bearded mechanic whoever u are. This shop looks like a mess I should have came when the tow dropped my car off, I would have driven it back home. So disorganized, your car won’t even make it close to a real lift there’s too many broken cars and parts in the way 😭 they fix your car on the driveway. A joke of a shop. Go a street over to

Amazing place to take your Volvo! Everyone is not only super friendly but also extremely knowledgeable. All the work is done at a very reasonable rate, the best product and price are always sought ought, and they will save you from making a big purchase mistake by always making time to look over a potential new car for all common and not so common issues with that particular model and year - they know what to look for no matter what you bring them! I recently had to say goodbye to my 2000 Volvo S80 T6 - I could have fixed it but it was time for something new as I had already thrown too much into repairs. However, when I discovered Leo's place, he set me straight with what repair was truly needed and at what cost - about 600 bucks versus over 4 grand at my disowned shop. While searching for my new car, they saved me twice from making an offer on a junk car, even the second car I brought them to be inspected they spotted major issues when I thought I had a definite winner. Leo and crew are the best, I will never be going anywhere different while I live in LA and own a Volvo.
