Years ago I took my car to Larsen's because it is just down the street from me. Fast forward, I’ve come to whole heartedly refer Don and Lilly to family and friends. If that’s not enough, Google the top customer reviewed auto repair shops in Culver City. Yup, Larsen’s among 5 of the best in Competence in workmanship, Fairness in pricing and Courtesy staff. I’d also add that they’re great in communicative skills. They’ve always kept me up to date on work progress and managing my expectations. Finally, they’ve always given me a no-none essence professional opinion that has saved me $$$ over the years. Thanks again to Doing and Lily. You guys and the Larsen’s team are the best!

I’m so glad to find Larsen Automotive! They are a great car repair shop close to home with knowledgeable mechanics and friendly customer service and fair pricing too! I know my old car had a lot of issues and they listed all of them through their inspection and discussed with me what needs repair now and what could be monitored for future repair. I needed it to pass a smog check and they took care of the check engine light issue and did the smog test that passed! Saved me an extra trip to get it smogged. Best to make an appointment with them, they are a busy shop. I’m very pleased and we’ll definitely use them for all of our car maintenance and repairs. They also respond in a timely manner which is great!

I've had great experiences with the team at Larsen Automotive. The staff is very nice, the work is done correctly and on time — often even early — and always at a fair price. Even when I showed up with a nail in my tire just as they were closing, they didn't hesitate to help and took care of me straight away. Highly recommend!

Larsen is the best shop in LA frankly. They're honest, quick, affordable, knowledgeable, and friendly. I've had plenty of issues in the past with mechanics/shops upcharing or upselling me on services and parts I didn't actually need so comparatively Larsen is like some magical haven. 10/10 work. Definitely recommend taking your car here if you want peace of mind!

My experience at Larsen Automotive (my previous mechanic’s recommendation) was Excellent! Don, was my point person. I came in for an oil change, tuneup, and general inspection. I expected there to be additional services per the inspection, and to leave the car (2008 Jeep Commander) overnight. I was Not expecting the level of care and attention I received. Don kept me posted overall. The following morning I received a text with a Full and Thorough report (for Printout) on all the systems, what needed to be done And the level of necessity, i.e. what needed attention -repair/replaced asap, what would be needed ‘down the road,’ and what was fine. Happily most systems are Fine. ‘Call to discuss the specifics and the costs.’ Don took me through the entire 10 (!) pages, quoted the costs, and gave further advice.
Having previously owned nine cars over the (Many:) years, I’ve Never experienced this level of attention and detail!! I authorized the needed work, it was all done to my satisfaction, and the cost overall was quite reasonable. Thanks to all those who did the work . I now have a new go-to mechanic and I’m delighted!
-Satisfied to the point of writing this lengthly review.
Thanks Don, Miles,and Larsen Auto!
