What clients say about A's Garage in Monterey Park (CA)
Honest and dependable BMW experts that are equally passion-driven about the various platforms they serve as their customers.
That's how I would describe Alvin, Aaron (father & son), and their lead tech Zsolt at A's Garage.
I've had a few major jobs done on my 1998 323 now: suspension, oil pan gasket, radiator, and window regulator, among other miscellany.
Each job was done with prompt, quality work, never requiring any follow-up.
They don't just work on these cars, they drive them and are enthusiastic about quality and performance.
If you're looking for a shop to work on your car do not hesitate to pay them a visit.
We started bringing our 330i for scheduled maintenance after warranty was over ... dealership service prices were getting outrageous. We found this place and were drawn to their professionalism and honest approach to our cars needs... and it helps that the owners are experienced drivers. Aaron and his dad Alvin are your go to guys ! Extremely satisfied with A's garage!! Our go to guys!!
Alvin & his team are the best. I’ve had them put a new engine in my car, and simpler things like exhaust swaps or reinstalling stock air intakes. They are pros!
Great experience, I'd rather support are local businesses and Mechanics then take my car to a dealer.. I took my 5 series BMW for some engine problems and was given a price that was affordable and got my car back quick Alvin and his Technician are very knowledgeable and upfront about the work that needed to be done. Definitely recommend and i will take back my Bmw's back when they need service. Thanks again Alvin keep up the great work.
He helped me by using his computer to find what was wrong my Mini and did not charge for it. He was nice and knew what he was talking about. Thank you for helping me out!
Alvin is the man! I had just bought a 99' Z3 and didn't know what to expect hearing the rumors about old BMWs. He fixed an oil/ transmission fluid leak and treated my car like his own. He even suggested 18" wheels which I originally didn't want, but happy I went with those as the car looks amazing. Alvin is the nicest mechanic you'll meet; his team goes above and beyond for you and your car.
When it comes to BMW’s this guy knows his stuff. Dealership quality without the dealership pricing. I usually do my own maintenance and repairs but when it comes to the difficult jobs I can’t do myself I always take my e46 here. 10/10 work keep it up.
Hands down best mechanic and business owner ever. Have you ever accidentally left your house key on your car ring, on a Friday night, with your spouse out of town and have your mechanic offer to drive a half hour one way to bring it back to you at 6pm in LA traffic because you otherwise have no way to get into your apartment? We’ll, I did and Al was the mechanic who did that for me in 2012. I’ve recommended him to everyone since; I’m fact was just asked about it tonight which made me think to post this story.. He is worth it and more. Can’t say I’ve ever had similar service from a dealership.
Came in for a check engine light Saturday. Got an estimate Tuesday and the work was done Wednesday. Also tightened up my shifter knob, reset my inspection alert and filled my fluids for free. Highly recommend!
Alvin is an expert bmw and mini mechanic ⭐️ diagnosed my leaking thermostat in minutes and got my car back to me sooner than expected ? super knowledgable on cars old and new and will keep an eye out for maintenance coming up for you
I'm an M3 owner.. The car I purchased had nothing but 5.0 ratings when I ran the CarFax coming our of A's Garage. Turns out Alvin the owner did all the major repairs on it before it bought it.. recommend this place for all BMW owners..
If you are lookin for professional bmw service or repair with reasonable price, this is it. Alvin and his team worked overtime to repair my X3 so i could pick up my car earlier than i thought. Strongly recommend!
Great service and highly trusted. Just took my 528i, which was smoking on ignition. He knew exactly how to troubleshoot the issue, getting my car back up to perfect running condition.
I can’t give enough stars to this company! Alvin is a true master at fixing Mini Coopers. On top of that, incredible customer service. He goes way above and beyond what any mechanic does for their customer. Anyone who drives a Mini Cooper should stop going to the dealer and go to A’s Garage. You won’t regret it!!
Great car mechanic, this is dealership quality without the dealership price. Alvin defiantly knows what he’s doing, while I was getting my car fixed he even took me out to eat!! Second to none quality if you drive a German don’t hesitate to take your car here, you won’t regret it.
Needed a clutch replacement for my 2008 mini cooperS clubman. The service was great! Alvin and Paolo were both helpful and easy going. Highly recommend "A's Garage." The price was fair compare to other places. Thanks again!
A’s garage is a great alternative to the dealer. Giving you great service original parts and reasonably priced. I get my 09 Bmw and my 09 clubman serviced here and still drive like the day I bought them.
In addition, to his prices being completely fair - or even better than fair, but he took the time to explain each thing that was wrong so I understood, explained how long I had to get the things I didn't get fixed right away, and kept me abreast of all the things he was doing as he fixed them.
I have a 2004 530i, I love my BMW, however, I don't like mechanics that charge too much and don't know how to repair beamers. Thank God I was referred to Alvin's shop. He knows everything BMW and doesn't charge ridiculous rates. Al and his crew will go above and beyond for you and your car. They'll treat your car like it's their own and they understand; just because you drive a BMW doesn't mean you're made of money. These guys are awesome and I hope I never have to take my car anywhere else! The money A's Garage saves me makes the drive from the O.C well worth it!
