Benny is a wonderful guy. Honest, sincere and knowledgeable. Very reasonable too. He knows Alfa and I trust him fully.

After attempting to perform my own restoration of my 74 GTV, I did as much as I could myself but at a certain point I was just over my head in terms of time and skill set. I had already done the chassis, body and trim, but I need someone to install the drivetrain and electrics to get the car running and driving. So I brought the whole project to Benny.Well thank god for Benny, because he dove in and had my car up and running within a week! Would have been quicker but I was missing a few parts that I had to find/order. Most other Alfa specialists would have taken MONTHS to do this! I was shocked when he called me to pick up my car! Had a HUGE smile on my face when I drove it home for the first time in 6 years!On top of that, everything was great down to the last details. All hoses and wires were neat and tidy, he used new bolts when needed and/or other parts that I didnt supply.Also, he didn't charge me $80 million like most other "restoration" shops would charge these days!It has been a year since its been completed and the car is still running PERFECTLY, with zero issues at all. Thanks again Benny! I couldn't have done this without you!

I’ve taken my 1969 Duetto to John a few times. From finding a loose vacuum hose, to replacing the old mechanical ignition unit (points) to an electronic ignition unit. John’s Alfa knowledge is encyclopedic, and his rates are very reasonable.Services: Brakes

What can I say. John's Alfa Romance has been maintaining our 1993 Alfa since it was new. I won't go elsewhere.

The best. Period. Been going to Benny from the very first day I bought my Alfa and he is like an uncle at this point. If you own an Alfa don’t go anywhere else. Immense trust for the man.

The best Alfa Romeo mechanic in LA. Reasonably priced, informative, trustworthy!

The greatest treatment I have ever received from a shop. Benny is simply the best and knows Alfas better than anyone I've encountered. Great prices and always happy to help diagnose my car's problems. Make an appointment rather than show up and this will be your long lasting mechanic forever!

The shop owner, Benny, is atypical in auto repair. He is about the most decent fella you'll ever meet. He apprenticed in the shop and took over when John retired, so he's been a solid resource for a very long time. He exclusively works on Alfa Romeo cars and knows them backwards and forwards. Benny has kept my only ride, an older Alfa roadster, on the road for about six years now, completing work quickly, efficiently, expertly, and now here's a shocker, priced reasonably. More than once there's been some small something I didn't bring the car in for that he'll tweak to make it right, just because. He's a great guy with a loyal following. Many of the regulars travel a good distance to have Benny work on their cars . You'll want to call for an appointment. He doesn't have a lot of room for cars to sit around awaiting service and this also works for him to have yours ready when promised. Here's something to consider. As a courtesy to avoid banks charging him fees if I were to use a card, I generally try to have cash ready. It seems to be appreciated, and I appreciate the way he takes care of my old car.

This guy knows his stuff. I've come to him a few times worried that I was going to walk away with an extravagant bill. All three times he's done his best to keep the prices down and have my car fixed the same day. I wouldn't trust my classic with anyone else.

My husband has been bringing his '74 Alfa Romeo GTV to Benny since the mid 80's. We can't say enough about Benny. He's honest, reliable, dependable, and oh-so-sweet. Since we left LA four years ago, Benny is the first my husband calls!

Benny has been nothing more than a life saver to us. Our car was stored in garage for 20 years collecting dust and housing rats. Within two weeks and a proper evaluation, Benny indentified the work that needed repair and maintenance. And fairly prices his work. I recommend his business and customer service highly.

I recently picked up an '87 Spider Graduate that I'm working on restoring. I took the car to Benny's shop (from Palm Springs) and I'm beyond happy I did. So far I've had them do the brakes, water pump replacement, radiator work. Benny took care of little extras that I wasn't expecting and that was terrific. He knows Alfa's like no on else. He is honest and up front. I will take my car to no one else, and that's not just because where I am no one knows what an Alfa is. Thanks Benny, see you again soon!

I have a 74 GTV 2000 that I had no idea where to take. I read some reviews online and noticed Alfa Romance and the type of cars they fix. I've taken my car to Benny now a couple times and could not say more positive things about the entire experience. Benny is extremely honest and super knowledgeable of all the older Alfa's. His experience working on these cars is incomparable and there is nothing that Benny hasn't seen. I highly recommend this small one man shop and plan to bring my GTV here for many years to come. A+

I brought my 1980 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce 5 speed to Benny on a referral from my long time mechanic who retired and I am glad I did. What a great guy, honest and hard working. Call ahead to make an appointment because he only has two bays but he will take care of you and do what needs to be done, not what makes him more money!
