Gardena Auto Repair

Great service from Shige's. John was very knowledgeable. Brought my car for a brake fluid job and check. John looked at it and tested it and told me didn't need to change it. Very honest and no charge. I will be bringing my car back when I need service.

I have to thank da homie Alonzo B for telling me about Shige's and John! He had been telling me for a while until yesterday to try them out, saying they are efficient and honest and have great prices. After the dealer wanted to charge me $1600 for some repairs, Alonzo called John for me before telling me to just take in my car. I'm SO glad I did!John is very chill and real and knows his stuff! He was asking me questions, to which I very much did not know the answers, to determine exactly what needed to be done. He did a quick consultation and told me my car should be ready the next day. He called today and said he saved me $80! My bill was lower than the estimate! I, as a female who knows NOTHING about cars and drives a lot and needed someone to trust hers with, now have my own sho nuff car fixer I can trust! Yay!

I've been taking my car to Shige's for the past couple of years and I have never had better service anywhere else. I live in the Inland Empire but make it a point to take my car to Shige's whenever I need service. John is always so helpful and I never feel like he's trying to make me get stuff done to my car that I don't need to. He explains things very well so I can understand what would be best for my car. It's always nice too that I don't have to wait long or leave my car at the shop, they are very efficient with their time. Always call ahead though for an appointment, they are always busy (guess people know where to go for good service). I've bragged so much about this place that my whole family takes their cars here too. Great shop, great customer service, trustworthy mechanics. John and his mechanics will not disappoint you.

My wife is from Gardena, so it's natural that we'd discover Shige's. We've been going to Shige's and John for 30 years now.Just a few weeks ago I brought in the Sienna van for a tuneup and some trouble shooting. I gave John and Dylan a week and a blank check to fix, brakes, wheels, tires, AC, and the complete engine.You know how much the bill would have been at the dealer? $2,500 - 3,000.How much did John spend? $450.They could have replaced the compressor on the AC, but they didn't. Hey just fixed the faulty relay and saved me a thousand bucks.John Kadowaki is one of the most trustworthy guys you'll ever meet. Shige's is truly one of a kind. Just don't go telling anyone. Oh, wait...Mahalo Shige's

My coworker recommended Shige's since we both drive Toyotas. Dylan is awesome. I took my older Camry in for a clutch replacement and air conditioning service. Very honest and professional guys. Pricing is fair considering they use OEM parts which I try to use anyway. Even better, they got the A/C working in my old Camry at a fraction of what I was originally quoted from another shop. Thanks Dylan!

This place is great and has excellent service. The technicians are very knowledgeable and explain what is wrong in detail. As a woman I sometimes get nervous taking my car to auto repair shops but I trust this place.

Been coming here over 5 years after several people recommended it. Was further from home but I had no choice after my mechanic couldn't fix a repeating problem that caused problems and $ over the years. Had nothing to lose but more $ with no solutions. Jon and crew were amazing. Fast and elite mechanics. Training and education makes a difference. Most were from the dealers. Straight up and reasonable. Even fixed extras at no cost. They fixed the I ongoing problem as electrical and for only the diagnostic fee. Awesome! Sadly it costed me thousands to go to sub par mechanics who never fixed the problem which did more damage over years. Grateful for their expertise and hard work. Never been disappointed since. All our cars and relatives go there now. Highly recommended. They're busy so call ahead.

John, I think the main mechanic is amazing. I came in at the end of the day and he gave me a free diagnostic on my problem and fit me in in 15 minutes which almost no mechanic does. I had to bring it back a different day because the problem was bad. I brought it back and although he wasn't able to fix it (a very rare and bad problem with the A/C) he didn't charge me anything for everything he did that day. He also sent me to a A/C specialist that he recommended. Best and most genuine experience. I will always be bringing my cars here for problems. John is the man. Hope this helps because anyone and everyone should be coming here.

I have been a customer now for more than 10 years now and I can say that I wouldn't take my car anywhere else..... Excellent service and dependable personnel... Highly recommend!!!!!

I don't write many reviews, but I've been going to Shiges for about 20 years now and their service is still top notch. John will go the distance to help his customers find the best prices and offer his sound advice. It's very difficult to find a good mechanic that's honest and sincere. We'll if you decide to go to Shiges you have found one. I always recommend Shiges to my family and friends so here's a free one for all of you who are reading this now. My safety as well as my families depends on the reliability of the vehicles we drive. So if anyone from Shiges is reading this you have a customer for life!!! To all of the helpers out there... Go and give them a try you won't regret it.
