I want to thank the guys at Bubba's Performance for always taking care of my vehicle in a timely manner, great customer service and knowledge of my older model vehicle.

I’ve been here a couple of times now and have firmly decided this is my go-to for my car. Every time I come here, the crew takes good care of me and my car and I’m never left feeling like I have unanswered questions. I definitely recommend Bubbas for honest, trustworthy, and high quality service!

UPDATE 11/9/24 8am Saturday morning, I went to turn on my 4Runner and got 3 clicks—nothing. Battery was brand new from last week. AAA came out, tested it, and confirmed: bad alternator. Towed my truck to Bubba's Performance at 9am. BOOM—new alternator installed by 11:15am! While I was there, I asked Robert to check why my AC was blowing warm air. Turned out to be some faulty wiring. Fixed that too, and I was out the door by 11:30am. Robert and the team are amazing—kind, honest, and extremely personable. They turned what could've been a nightmare weekend into a quick fix. Highly recommend! Let me first start off by saying finding an authentic mechanic who believes in fairness and transparency is literally like winning an Oscar in LA! I received a referral to Bubba’s and from the moment I stepped into the office I knew Dave and his crew were my new mechanics! Dave out of the gate was real and transparent! Dave did exactly what he said he would do and that's follow through! Happy to report that my rig runs great thanks largely to Dave’s care! Anytime a mechanic is willing to sit with you and explain and SHOW you what's happening underneath the hood is GOLD in my book! When my car hits 200k Bubba’s is my place for a tune-up! Stay curious and thank you, Bubba and crew!

excellent service. honest. knowledgeable. they do the research & have the skills. I'm SO grateful for the recommendation from my local Valvoline. lovely team to hang with, including cute pup (Oso!) 🐶, during your visit :)

This is the only auto repair shop that I have ever trusted completely. I feel extremely fortunate and grateful that Bubba’s team of mechanics was mentioned to me in my neighborhood (Marina Del Rey). I took a risk and drove my car here about 4 years ago for a transmission issue, and never strayed to another shop since that day. If your vehicle is in need of any repair or maintenance, you won’t find a team as honest, fair, ethical & trustworthy elsewhere! David has accommodated me in times of dire need and I have never left Bubba’s shop with any doubts or unanswered questions. They treat everyone with care and I believe their reputation is built through their transparency and attention to detail. 100 stars!

10/10 Could not have asked for a better experience. Super friendly and professional. These guys were quick with a quote and even quicker to service my car. Would absolutely recommend!

A mechanic that is honest, affordable(!!), reliable, communicative and timely. FINALLY! Where has this place been all my time in LA. Happy to finally have a spot I feel like I can trust with the work needed. Look no further. Just trust me. I’ve been to so many different places around LA and this finally feels like the end of that search for a reliable and affordable mechanic.

Bubba's is great-- David is super knowledgeable and communicative. After wading through the horrors of other repair shops in LA, it was refreshing to discover Bubba's where it becomes abundantly clear that the team genuinely cares about what they do as soon as you walk in the door. I've been going for over a year now, recommend this place to all my friends in the area, and can't imagine going anywhere else.

I have become a regular here because not only are they honest and trustworthy, David always goes above and beyond to make sure I have a good experience. The first time I came here he took his time to explain to me what I needed and why after neglecting my car a bit. In the past, I've been thrown information I didn't quite understand and felt taken advantage of because of my lack of knowledge of cars, so it was very important to me to find a shop that would break it down for me and be honest about what was necessary to get done. My tire pressure light wouldn't turn off so I asked them to check what was going on. He had his guy look at it right away, and when it was clear I needed some work done on my tire, he called a different business for me down the street to make sure they could see me and even negotiated the price of the repair down for me. He also stressed that I could come back if the other place didn't recalibrate the tire pressure light for me. It's great service like this, even when they're not making any money off me, that has turned me into a loyal customer. I will definitely continue to give them my business and recommend them to others.

Bubba’s performance is the real deal. David always takes great care of me—honest, kind, and professional. Their work is top notch, and they’re quick with turnaround and always on time. They recently tuned up my AC for free, which was an unexpected but much-appreciated gesture. Solid guys all around. Highly recommend.
May 13, 2025 -
Great and communicative guys. As a woman, I didn't feel uncomfortable, nor did I feel I was being taken advantage of. The guys did a great job explaining what was going on with my car. Compared to other shops in LA, Bubba's prices were very reasonable. Would 100% come back!
May 11, 2025 -
I never give reviews but the customer service at Bubbas was so top notch that I just had to find a way to leave one. Guillermo and Dave make you feel right at home and are very honest and trustworthy. 5 stars.
Jan 17, 2025 -
My car and I are so happy we found Bubba's! Great service, transparency and no extra crazy charges. I highly recommend them!
Jan 07, 2025 -
I went here on a recommendation and was super impressed. The folks at Bubba’s were incredibly kind, super communicative and offered very reasonable prices for my fixes. 10/10 would recommend and will def return!
Jan 06, 2025 -
Bubba's took care of me and my Subaru on short notice, with exceptional attention to detail, fair pricing and incredible customer service from first diagnostic phone call to when I picked up the keys. Guillermo, Robert and David all provided excellent service along the way. I've been looking for an east side mechanic and relieved to have finally found one!! Believe the hype!

Had a terrible experience with this shop. I only brought my car here because this shop was on the approved list from my warranty company. I had a small oil leak. The first time, they said it was a cracked oil cap. Easy fix. Cost me my $100 deposit. They must have not made sure this fixed the problem because my car had the same small oil leak. I bring it back to them and they said it was several things costing a total of more than 4k, still ok because my part was $100. They call me to pick up my so I asked them if they tested the car to see if the leak was gone now for sure. They assured me they did. I get there and my windshield is cracked. They offered to fix it because it was not like that when I dropped it off, so I left and came back the next day to get it. I barely drive this car but when I did, I again realize my car is still leaking a little oil. The problem now is that my car is out of the warranty period. So now I'm fighting with them to get the job done right by a shop that knows what they are doing. This shop it not fit to ever get my business again. Response to the owner - It wasn't "another" leak. Your shop didn't fix the job right the first time or the second time you had it. You didn't do a check to make sure the job was done properly or you would have seen the same leak was still happening. Those are FACTS! And I am so happy you stepped up to fix my windshield that you damaged. Amazing decision. There were miles on my car when I got it back that was more than just driving it to test which you did none of anyway or you would have saw it was still leaking.

David and the rest of the guys here are the most straightforward, honest mechanics you’ll find in town. Got an estimate from Pepboys for $2300 with a bunch of unnecessary part replacements. David quoted me at $500 at most out of pocket. Ended up getting the whole thing covered by warranty. Point is, you won’t find a mechanic this good for this price anywhere else.
Jul 13, 2024 -
10/10. Found these guys on Reddit then read the reviews on Google. The reviews here are true- an honest shop with quality work. They took real good care of us which was especially impressive as it was a day before a major holiday. We were in and out on the same day. If you’re a Jeep owner, they use genuine Mopar parts. A real family atmosphere, clean, plus there’s a cute dog by the name of Oso. I recommend calling ahead.
Jul 09, 2024 -
The nicest and honest shop I have found in over 20 years here in Los Feliz ~ David was polite and genuinely knows his cars and motors. Most helpful with a 1963 Valiant and also helped out with the everyday driving Prius. A gem of a auto shop! Highly recommend.
Jun 25, 2024 -
This place deserves every good review it gets. I cannot recommend these guys enough. They make everything as clear and transparent as possible and will suggest ways to work within a budget, even if they have the opportunity to make more money. David keeps us updated every step of the way, provides advice and treats us like old friends. Best mechanics in LA.

David and Guillermo were recommended by my trusted friends and I’m so glad to have a reliable place for our cars here in Silverlake. They’ve given us xlnt information that saved money and time, plus dependable maintenance as needed. Feels like right place to be! Really nice guys, good team!
Feb 29, 2024 -
After a number of unfortunate and scammy mechanic experiences in LA, I was soo happy to have Bubba's recommended to me!! They are trustworthy, kind, affordable, and super good at their jobs. I do not know much about cars and they do not take advantage of that.

Exactly what you were looking for: A shop with serious people doing honest work. Prices are moderate, it won’t be the cheapest or the most expensive, but you get what you pay for. They accept SilverRock insurance, which is a huge plus because the only other providers are pepboys and Firestone, both of which I’ve had spotty experiences with. David was straightforward and wasted no time, which I appreciate. The overall turn around time was about standard, on a busy Monday - which I imagine would be quite busy for auto shops. Overall great experience, I’ll be coming back even if my insurance doesn’t apply. Finally found an honest shop!

Came in for a timing belt change on my Fiat after bringing it to a different shop who accepted the task, but called me a day later saying they couldn't even diagnose the vehicle due to lack of equipment. Gave Bubbas a call and was greeted by David who was very informative and thorough. The car was repaired fairly quickly so I was glad for that, but after the timing belt change, a leak appeared just under the vacuum pump. While they did take it back an and inspected the part again at no additional cost, I was assured that there was no leak and it was residual oil from the install. Unfortunately, it was in fact a leak stemming from the vacuum pump, I'm assuming the old gasket was reused as installing a new one completely solved the problem. The unfortunate problem is that the leak only typically only appeared after 15-20 mile highway drives at a constant 3.5-4k RPM, or when you're really getting on the throttle for a bit, and not under any other circumstances so I can understand how it can be missed as any other driving/idling conditions it doesn't pop up. Still, I'd definitely come back again for repairs/installs as the customer service was great, the team was very informative, and the job was quick.

We went to Bubbas performance and more auto shop in Silverlake. We had problems with our 2015 Honda civic for months. Every time we were driving our car, if we turned the engine off for an even a few minutes - we had a hard time restarting the car. You could turn the key, all the lights on the dash would light up, but it wouldn’t start. Every week we would get stuck in a parking lot for 20 minutes or anyplace while running errands. We took it to the Honda dealership twice and they tested it and could never find anything wrong. We took it to Bubbas after the technician at Valvoline recommended them. Guillermo and the team were warm and welcoming, very professional and were able to use one of their machines to identify that we needed a new starter. They ordered it immediately from a distributor nearby and we hung out in their waiting room enjoying the A/C while they worked on it. We also enjoyed playing with the dog, Oso! We were done in about an hour! Fair price, good service, and they identified and fixed a problem that the Honda dealership didn’t have the patience to find. Thank you so much to everyone at Bubbas shop- I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

This is a very long overdue review, but David and Guillermo are the best! Came in for the second time a few months ago without a call, and David took me in immediately. I was going out of town and wanted to make sure that I was up to date on my maintenance, especially since I don’t drive much. David was super nice and attentive to suggest a few other minor items that might need replacement for my car and I was more than happy to take his suggestion since I trust him. This is a very honest and friendly shop that doesn’t take advantage of you and your money. Unfortunately I now moved to San Diego and probably will need to find a local mechanic in my area, but will happily stop by Bubba’s if I’m ever in the area again.

Love David ❤️ and Guillermo. I have been a customer since they were located on Washington. I followed them to their new location. I will not ever take my car anywhere else. They know my whole family. Quality care and quality service is unmatched by far. The best, fair,and honest mechanics I know
Jul 22, 2023 -
I found a new mechanic! Super happy. My old Mazda 3 was assessed and repaired with ease. Bubba's is knowledgeable, personable, clean (garage and office), great at communication, efficient, and trustworthy. Thank you David!

David and Guillermo have changed the game for car repairs. Aside from being the nicest guys around, they also provide the BEST service I’ve ever encountered for all of your automotive needs. I’ve brought my car to them three times now for different (and unrelated) things, and they are always straight forward and honest while also telling you what’s necessary and not. They’ve fixed things large (engine trouble) and small (a gas cap) with equal enthusiasm and expertise. They even discovered a fraudulent brake job that had used mismatched parts which I laid top dollar for and never would’ve known. Their price to fix the fraudulent (and now dangerous) job was beyond fair and included things that I thought I’d previously received for twice the price. They are beyond thorough because they care about you, your safety, and your business which now feels like a friendship. My whole family now goes to Bubba’s for our tune-ups, oil changes, and for anything else car related. If you want the job done with the most honest (and lovable) guys in East LA, come here. You won’t regret it for a second. Peace of mind while driving is priceless and these guys deliver that and then some.

A few months ago, I decided to get new brakes, and had a pleasant experience at Bubba's, so I felt good returning to them when Valvoline found that my valve cover gasket was leaking during an oil change. Bubba’s got me in quickly, confirmed the issue, and had the work done in a couple hours. Dave helped me to understand the work they were doing, didn't try to upsell me, and reassured me I could bring my car back in if any related issues persisted. I completely agree with another review that emphasized his kindness. Note: This is the first time I've ever felt strongly enough to write an online review for a business. I couldn't recommend them more!
