These 5-star reviews are all correct. Gilbert explains everything, tells me what my car needs, what it doesn't need, and is even tracking down a part for me that no one has. The best.

I been going here for many years. Gilbert is a honest guy and does great repairs. He won’t rip you off or try to fix stuff that doesn’t need to be. He is very honorable.

Exceptional service! They listened attentively to my concerns and took the time to explain the repairs needed in a way that I could easily understand. From start to finish, their service was top-notch, I highly recommend.Service: Auto battery replacement

Took a look at all the other reviews for Gilbert and I could not agree more. Gilbert is the only person that touches my families cars when repairs are needed.Unfortunately, the mechanic who I trusted and used to keep my car running passed away. As a result, I took to Yelp to seek out someone that could take his place. Based on the reviews for Gilbert, I brought my car into his shop to test it out -- this was years ago when his shop was in Culver City. I have been a loyal customer since then.Gilbert is very knowledgeable, detail oriented and personable which are all wonderful traits for a mechanic to have. He works hard to figure out the issue with your car and then provides you with a detailed explanation of what it will take to repair it. The work he performs is also top notch and at a very fair price.If you are looking for a trustworthy mechanic that provides great service, look no further than Gilbert. He is now in a smaller shop on a corner that you can easily miss if you are not looking carefully. It is so worth it to take the time and find him though!Services: Electrical repair

Although Gilbert's is hard pressed for space, he and his team provide excellent service and work, with rates far below dealership rates. Gilbert is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and he and his team combine for over 75 years of experience. My 15 years with them has been a very good ride!

Gilbert was referred to me from Davis Bros and I am so glad I can trust them both. I am the type of person whose dad always took care of their car and now that I moved away, I am thankful to have found Gilbert + Davis Bros because I was worried about a mechanic taking advantage of my lack of knowledge. I drove past the shop like 3 times, just trust that YES, it IS on the corner, just stop there and poke your head out or park and walk over. People will help you find the shop :)

I was vacationing 6 hours away from home. The day i was returning home i notice all my lights were coming out, ABS, VAS, power steering, brakes, battery. It freaked me out. I was so scared i had to pull off to the gas station and turn off my car. Once i turned it off my car wouldn't start anymore. I had called a tow truck and he referred me to gilbert. Gilbert was so good with us. It was just us girls and we were so scared. Gilbert made us feel so much better. I told him what was going on with my car and without looking at it he knew it was my alternator and he was surely correct. He told us it was going to be a quick and easy fix. He was great at communicating with us and very friendly. He only took a little over an hour to fix. He even check my oil and water and made sure we had a safe trip back home. I can't thank him enough! If i could give him more than 5 stars i would!

Had a brake master cylinder fail on my new(ish) BMW, but wasn't sure what the issue was at first. Found Gilbert's through a referral from another shop and was able to get the issue fixed. Parts took some time to ship from Germany given COVID delays but Gilbert was very responsive and kept me up to date. Would highly recommend... hard to find an honest and reliable professional like Gilbert these days!

Gilbert's Auto Repair was referred to me by my tried and true tire place (Davis Bros in Culver City on Washington Blvd & La Cienega). Davis Bros. has always been honest and does great work so I trusted their referral to Gilbert's and I'm so glad I did. Gilbert himself is smart, articulate, honest and responsive. He not only repaired all my car's issues quickly but he took photos of the undercarriage of my car where I was concerned I had an issue. He could have charged me tons more but his prices were extremely reasonable. Will only take my car here for maintenance and repairs from now on. As the guy at Davis Bros said "Gilbert can fix anything!". Thank you for such honest, fast and extremely reasonable service. Wonderful experience.

went to california for a trip to the beach with my kids. unfortunately i had an issue with a leak in my car relating to my coolant! i was pretty much stranded, but was referred by the tow truck employee. gilbert was wonderful in helping me get my car taken care of, and also helped me with a discount as this was unexpected and im not a local. i would DEFINITELY recommend his services and would go back as a return customer if i was in the area again. 5 stars!!!

Gilbert is going to be my mechanic until he retires! He’s excellent at both identifying issues with your car as well as walking you through what needs to be fixed (and not condescendingly, as I’ve experienced with mechanics elsewhere). Gilbert is kind and reliable, returns calls and has great turnaround times. Plus, his prices are better than most in the area.

Gilbert fixed my car twice already. What an honest mechanic!! I went few places before finding out his shop, I was taken advantage.. I went to Gilbert with the diagnostic of oil pan gasket that was given to me from the other shop; and that shop asked $1800 to fix it. When I went to Gilbert to fix it, he provided me with loaner car and I was supposed to the car the following since the work requires a little bit of time. I got home few hours later, Gilbert called me to tell me that he found that the problem was just the hole where you drain oil that was licking, not the pan gasket. He only did my oil change and quick that problem. He told me to come get the car. He saved me hundreds of dollars. I could not believe. How many mechanic out there will do that or be this honest? His price to do the pan gasket was way better that the previous place that gave me diagnostic. I ended up only for he fixed. His staff are also super super kind and friendly. I highly recommend Gilbert's Auto. AAA+++++ service you'll get. Thank you so much Gilbert!!
