I decided to take my 2011 Chevy Equinox to Elite Auto after reading the positive Yelp reviews about Armando's ethics. I do not live nearby and my engine light had come on not too long after I had significant work done by my mechanic at home and so wanted to get it diagnosed sooner than later. I can confirm that Armando's reputation was accurately described (very ethical, knowledgeable and professional) as was his diagnosis (confirmed by my mechanic and my father). I have recommended Elite Auto Masters to my family in the area and would return, if needed.

Armando and his team did a great job. The service was done quickly and Armando was very helpful with the prices. I recommend this auto shop to anyone who likes a good service done to their vehicle. Thank You Armando! will be coming here again!

Full disclosure: Armando is my father, this review is about the man who runs the business and why others have highly reviewed his family run business (we all contribute in some way, but he puts the most by far and is the face of this place)

Armando is fair, honest, and does good work. I'm sorry he moved farther away. I will still go to him to keep my old Toyota running smoothly

Armando was very professional and reasonable with the cost of work done to my car. Unfortunately the service provided didn't hold up to the same standard. I first brought my car here for a simple brake job. I left the shop and within hours I began hearing my brakes grind and make noise. I called Armando and he reassured me that he would fix the problem if I brought my car back, which I did. I left the shop a second time (after another new set of brakes AND new rotors this time). The next day I began hearing the same sound! After a third visit, I was told it was most likely the hardware that keeps the brakes in place; since the rotors and brakes had been replaced twice now. Finally, the noise went away. About a month later I began hearing a strange sound coming from the same side where my brakes were grinding. However, it sounded more like there was some metal-like object scraping (pretty loud & embarrassing). I immediately brought my car to the shop and was told that they would take a look at it. After 8 hours, I was told that there was possibly something wrong with my suspension and it would cost a good chunk of change. However, they weren't quite sure and wanted me to bring my car back for a better look. 8 hours later, and you're still unsure? I took my car to another shop and within 1.5 hours I was told the brake assembly was missing small parts causing the loud noise. Problem was found and fixed within 3 hours. No suspension problem, no guessing or delaying to fix the issue. 4 visits and it was the same thing all along. I am very disappointed that I had to waste so much time over what started as a simple brake job. Not sure whether it's a lack of knowledge or resources but I will not be coming here anymore.

I wanna say great thank you to Armando, he's a really good person with professions on Lexus and Toyota vehicles. My GS350 has a SRS light on, I went to other shops and they quoted me up to 900 dollars to replace the SRS module. Therefore, I came to this place and had Armando checked my car, he charged me only 100 to solve it. Reasonable price and great service, I would recommend friends to solve their problems here.

We have a Lexus with weird noises coming out of the dash area. After reading different reviews, I decided to bring it to Armando of Elite Auto Masters. I described the noise and he was able to tell me the likely scenarios. Left the car over night so he could do further investigation. Sure enough, it was what he had suspected. After the faulty parts were replaced, plus renewing all the fluids, the car felt smooth and quiet.

Armando is a nice guy and serviced my car quickly after I got it towed there. He did a thorough analysis and gave fair prices. My car is working again!

Even though there are other mechanics near my home, I love driving all the way to this place because of Armando, the owner. He is not just a professional, he is also a very nice guy. I have recommended him to others and they all agree with this statement. Thank you Armando.

Everyone needs a "go to guy" for their auto repair needs. I found Armando and his team through a friend years ago in Pasadena and have felt blessed ever since. I've had a couple of Lexus' over the years and he knows his stuff. My trust level with this shop and the people is through the roof. If I ever move from the area I'll probably still figure out a way to bring my cars to Elite. They're THAT good!!

Armando Carlos is our mechanic for several years now. My wife has a Toyota RAV4 and I have a Lexus. We are very happy with his work, expertise and honesty.

This review is long overdue. Armando is the best--he is experienced, honest, consistent, kind, and a very hardworking man. I have never been disappointed with his services. His prices are also very reasonable. Because of his great services, I have followed him to his new Arcadia location. I highly recommend his shop for car maintenance.

Armando really knows his stuff! and such a nice and accommodating mechanic. i try to recommend him as much as i can. he worked on my 1996 toyota tacoma and my Infiniti EX35. we actually had the truck towed over to him and left it with him to fix EVERYTHING on it, and i mean everything. he did a great job and it passed smog! love that Armando is genuinely passionate about the cars and i knew my precious truck was in good hands. will definitely be returning to him!!
