Gardena Auto Repair

Great repair shop and friendly staff! My car has been coming here for years. Last week I came in thinking my axle was my problem. They did a courtesy inspection that took 4 hours but I truly appreciate it because that told me they took their time checking my car out and was able to tell me about any major and minor problems my car had.... Thanks guys!

I drive all the way from Westwood down to Shige's because they are trustworthy, do quality work and charge fairly.

I had an amazing first experience with Shige's! They dropped me off at work and picked me up when the work was done. Their service was impeccable and I felt like I was being treated like family. Plus you can't be their amazing digital service report complete with links, visuals and videos. A family business that treats you like family - what could be better?

I came here after my mom said her friend had been going there for over 20+ years and great Yelp reviews but this is the best place for Japanese car repairs by far. I have a 2001 Toyota 4Runner and they are great, no hassles, very comprehensive and John is great. I referred my wife, dad, father in law and a close friend and they are all sold on Shige's. I can't recommend them enough.

Honest local shop with great service and nice people that do a good job.

Great service and excellent care! John and his team are fantastic to work with. Highly recommend!!

A significant amount of excellence was shown when I had my vehicle services here. I used to be faithful in having my car serviced at the dealership however because of the decline in customer service, it no longer made sense. Trusting Yelp, I made an appointment and took my car in for an oil change, a tire rotation and a general inspection. I prefer morning appointments and this place was very accommodating. The process was simple upon my arrival, I registered my vehicle and was promised a phone call upon completion. In a matter of a few hours, a service technician called to inform me that I needed a new battery. Because their prices are so awesome, I accepted the service. My car was finished by the early afternoon. When I got home, I noticed that my Homelink System was no longer functioning so I immediately contacted the repair shop. Without hesitation they welcomed me back and replaced a blown fuse without charge.Not only are the guys knowledgeable and efficient but most importantly they are genuinely kind. This shop is busy however they respect and value their customers enough to provide the type of service that leaves a satisfaction that stays with you. I was impressed by the overall operation of this place and pleasantly surprised to have discovered such a treasure. When you invest money in a quality vehicle like a Lexus or Infiniti, you want to be able to trust the hands that take care of it. Unlike the dealerships, this auto repair shop offers authentic quality in all facets of service. They also have great prices!

Honest, reliable, friendly. What more can you ask for, we've been customers since 1981!

Good friend referred me. Dad (previous owner) was working on the day I went in as a ... get this, "temp employee," as he put it. Ha! Waiting customer let me know who he was.Needed simple oil change but also asked abt a sound upon start-up. Father was extraordinarily honest with what my car needed and did no up-sell, even as I asked abt a generic "could-be-anything-and-costly-wild-goose-chase" issue. Walked out, having paid for exactly the estimate which was for the oil change. (Sound had to do w/ oil change.)Positives:-- Customers looked like LA, that is, racially mixed, English and non-English speakers, old/young/in-between, and they all were return customers,. Loved that for many reasons, but it also told me that it's not just the business' own same-race, unreasonably loyal customers.-- Mechanic who delivered car to me explained what was done, presented polite and professional.-- They accurately estimated their required time.Cons:-- Small waiting area was filled. People kindly got up to offer their seats to the elderly and obviously infirm. Others waited outside where there was no seating. This could be an issue on a cold day.Would and already have recommended Shige!

Very honest , reasonable priced, good work. Won't take my car anywhere else. Call in advance to make an appointment if possible
