Unimpressed. Chose to use other shops that inspired more confidence. They gave me the lowest quote, but the quote was not itemized and he did not do any research into parts, paint, etc. Middle of the day and no work was being done.

Extremely rude people. Please do not use them. Very unwelcoming in the front as well.

Wow, I called at 1:20 to see when I might be able to bring my car in to get looked at, I was there by 1:40, and out again by 2:45. Yes, the problem was a quick fix, but I'm so impressed with the fast service.

Went in for a used car inspection Pro: Mechanic was friendly and probably good for simple stuff like oil change and replacing easy parts. Con 1: Did not use a damn car scanner, this is super basic and fundamental in diagnosis Con 2: He knows there is a bad axle and a bad motor mount and kept telling the seller it's only a small problem it doesn't have to be replaced for another 6 months. If they are broken they need to be replaced eventually. The seller then told me "see mechanic said it's not broken" Con 3: he inspected for less than 20 min! Worse $100 spent. Con 4: He did not catch the broken coolant cap, low coolant, and black engine oil.

Ask for Armen! He was more than accommodating and fair with his time and cost of labor / repair. So glad to have found a trustworthy and honest neighborhood auto body business! Do not hesitate to call or stop by for assistance.Service: Welding

It is weird how all the bad reviews are replied by the owner with "I do not know this person" (there's a reason why people write reviews)TRUST THOSE BAD REVIEWS!!Would not recommend this auto shop. Even the surrounding auto shops know the kind of cheap quality work that is done at this shop. I would not recommend this place at all! Pico Blvd is filled with much better options!This auto shop was supposed to fix my engine. My car ended up breaking down in the middle of the road. I had to tow my car to another repair shop. The management did nothing to help me out and I was stranded on the road. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!Services: Check engine light diagnostic

I dare say that ever since Henry Ford and Karl Benz revolutionized modern transport with their inventions, few minds have been occupied with the question, “What would make the ideal auto repair shop?” Yet this was just the question that occurred to me earlier this year when, my brake pads having failed, I set about a tedious search for a garage where I could have my Prius serviced.To my mind, the ideal auto repair shop is one that combines honest prices, expert mechanics, short turnarounds, and a location convenient to my workplace or home. Yet knowing as I do that life is one long exercise in settling for what’s available, not holding out for what’s imaginable, I had no illusions that a search even graced by the Lord himself would lead me to the door of a garage that boasted, at most, half of the above.Imagine my delight, then, when I found Nova Auto Center, an auto repair shop so exceptional as to remove any distinction between the real and the ideal. My discovery of Nova was all the more fortunate considering I’d gone there somewhat blindly, with no referral or recommendation. Before I'd gone, I’d paged through Nova’s reviews on Yelp and Google, which, though very favorable, were relatively few. (I later learned this was because Nova hasn’t been open very long.) In the end, it was Nova’s nearness to my home, which is within walking distance, that made the most persuasive appeal, so I decided to take a chance. Little did I expect that this was to prove a wager worthy of a jackpot-winning gambler.My first exposure to Nova, in the person of its owner. Armen, made an excellent impression. Arriving there on a late weekday afternoon, I found Armen busy with a repair; yet as soon as he saw me, a new customer, he disengaged himself from his work and hurried over to introduce himself. Greeting me warmly, Armen, a fellow of 30 or so with a friendly air and an easy manner, spoke without the least impatience or pushiness. Indeed, he seemed to have no other care than to help me.If Armen’s manner told me that Nova was in good hands, there followed three things that positively convinced me it was. First, before I could mention the reason for my visit, Armen guessed it--and with nothing more to go on than the sounds announcing my car’s arrival when I'd pulled into his lot. Second, after a quick inspection, Armen quoted a price for the repair that was a good bit lower than what a friend (an ex-mechanic) had told me, before I came, would be reasonable. And, finally, just when I might have concluded that there was nothing further Armen could do to endear himself to me, he came out with it: my car would be ready for pickup the following day. He proved a man of his word: to the turnover time and cost of the repair, no days or dollars were added.Since this first visit, I’ve been a regular and ever-satisfied Nova customer, having been back, if I mistake not, three times (once for a problem with my alternator and twice for oil changes). The same honesty, exemplary service, low prices, and expertise that so much impressed me initially have been constants subsequently. Nor have I kept Nova’s excellence a secret. I recommend Nova to every driver of my acquaintance who stands in need of a mechanic.Even for those like me who don’t tingle with excitement at the prospect of a trip to the mechanic, going to Armen's garage, thanks to his captaincy of this first-class ship, the USS Nova, isn't just painless but pleasant. An auto repair shop that approaches more closely to my--or to anyone else’s--ideal is not to be found.

Great find! Diagnosed my problem immediately, got my car back to me in a day, and most importantly, VERY HONEST! Best experience I've had at an auto shop in LA.

I brought in my BMW for estimate on cosmetic body damage and I met with Armen. Very polite and informative guy. He gave me couple options to choose from with different prices. Very honest person returned the car to me within couple of hours better than before. I finally found the guy I was looking for, for a long time.P.S. during this Pandemic, he follows all the Protocols and ensures the safety of his clients.

I want to thank Armen for the help. I got into a car accident and he was very helpful and professional in process getting my Jeep fixed. He got it my car fixed quickly and for a great price. I am going to refer all my family and friends to Armen. Thank you Nova Auto Center!!

Last week without warning, the locking mechanism on my trunk failed. I called the dealer and the soonest appointment was 2 weeks out. My neighbor told me about Nova so I took my car in. Armen right away was able to order the part and got it fixed for me once the part came in a couple days later. Driving around with a broken trunk lock is no fun during the holidays, so I appreciate Armen for the really quick turnaround, and for being affordable! I'm sure the dealer would have charged my triple what I paid. THANK YOU!!!
