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.

Horrible experience! I dropped my car off at E&C to get my transmission replaced in my car. They said it would take a day or two to do the work. I came back 2 weeks later and the car wasn’t worked on at all and they said they didn’t have a lift that worked so they couldn’t work on it and they’d have the shop next to them do the work. I picked up the car and now the fuel pump is not working too! I’m writing this as I am stranded waiting for a tow.

Amazing service! Carlos was great and fast. I had an issue with my car after taking it to Pep boys, never again will i take it to another pepboys. Carlos fixed the issue, the water pump was leaking coolant after pep boys said it was fine.
I had another issue pop up on my car, its an old car, brought it to him today 4/23/25 and he said get the part and hell take care of it.....20 min later issue was fixed.
E & C is the go to spot from now on.

I am a senior resident. I am very grateful to Carlos and Eric to help me with patient. My car was vandalized several times. My car windshield was broken by criminals. My driver door lock, tire and mirror were damaged by criminals. My air conditioner compressor and radiators vandalized by criminals. These criminals took advantage of an elderly resident's suffering, in order to scam a patient's money. All criminals escaped from law punishment. But I am a victim of these crimes, an elderly victim is punished, stressed and depressed. I had to and have to carry heavy financial burden to have my car to be fixed. Carlos performed excellent professional skills to fix my car. Carols is a decent manager. He paid his human sympathy and support to an elderly patient. Thanks to Carlos and Eric, I appreciate your great help.

Most honest, kind, & reliable mechanic I've ever gone to. My car broke down in a parking garage and needed to be towed on a Saturday evening. Carlos stayed way past close to wait for my car. This was the kindest gesture because at this time he did not know me, it was my first time going there. Since then, I will never take my car to anyone else. He charges very very reasonably & is always so honest. He takes the time to show me what he's going to fix & why it's important. Truly an LA local gem! 😭 I send every friend and family member to them.
