i took my car here because my engine was overheating and it was close by. i don’t know anything about cars. after dropping it off, i got the call from radis and was offered two options: one option for $1200 or another option for $1600. they said i could do the cheaper option, but if it didn’t work, then i would have to pay for both. i was confused as to what the issue was and what i was paying for. it made me uneasy, and i decided that i’d feel better towing my car to a place across town that had been recommended to me by friends. Radis charged me $310 for the diagnostic fee, but they said if i let them do the repair, they would credit the amount. i still decided to take my car to the other place where i was quoted $900. the new place clearly explained what needed to be fixed and outlined the cost of parts and labor. after the experience at the new place, i will not be returning to or recommending radis.

Honest and fair people. My car broke down while traveling thru LA. Obviously afraid of being taken advantage of. Prayed I'd pick an honest mechanic, and was blessed with Radi.Service: Auto maintenance

Raymond quoted me prices to fix my two cars over the phone and when I went to deliver the cars, he tripled the price and couldnt remember the previous phone call. Raymond is a shyster and if you have at least a three digit IQ you should STAY AWAY from this place or he will rob your pocketbook. Also, I got this anti-semetic vibe from Raymond because my wife and I are visibly Jewish. Raymond is Eqyptian and I have never felt this visceral hatered for me from another person like this ever since I've lived for 68 years in Los Angeles. Bad Mojo indeed!

Radi took care of my electrical problem in under an hour. Now my Sprinter has all brake lights working properly. I think I have a new mechanic ?

Let's start out with THEY WONT DO WHAT YOU ASK FOR! Went to Radi's and was greeted by the blonde frantic lady that works there and asked for a simple oil change and break light fix. They quoted me a few hours and about $300.I get a call that there are other issues with the car and that they will have to hold my car for a day. I was confused because I didn't ASK them to check anything else. The next day I call, no answer. I call again, the frantic lady answers and starts rambling about my car how it has leaks and etc. but it did not have any leaks or nothing. She would not be explain what was wrong with the car and was rude and told me "you won't understand".They ended up holding my car for 3 days WITHOUT telling me an updated estimate of what the "problems" that they found were going to cost until I got there to pick up my car. She was rude and wouldn't explain what was "done" to my car. She only explained that she gave me a 10% discount on my $2000 bill.At that point nothing I asked for in my initial $300 estimate was done. I went to another mechanic to verify if they actually did any of the work they said they did when I picked up the car, AND THE NEW MECHANIC SAID NO NOTHING WAS DONE!!!!!N O T H I N G !These people are scammers charging for whatever they want and acting nice in the beginning and f***ing you over in the end.I should have trusted the previous bad reviews. Don't fall for her frantic kindness.Go to a mechanic that you can trust. Avoid the frantic blonde lady at all costs. Literally.Service: General repairs & maintenance

In an industry that has an unfortunate reputation, Radi's is a shining example of what a neighborhood mechanic should be. I've kept coming back to Radi's for years, thru several family cars, because they're consistently honest, fast, and kind. That's everything from an oil change to suspension repair. Maybe I'm setting the bar too low for auto mechanics. But I'm not saying Radi's simply clears that bar. Recently, I took in my car for a brake job. When I picked it up, Eileen the office manager pointed out I also had a "click" in my rack and pinion. Uh oh. But before Eileen gave me a quote, she called Subaru and found out the issue was still under warranty. That's not something I expect a mechanic to do. To me, that's a sign that Radi's really cares about being a positive part of my neighborhood. So I'm always ride or die Radi's.

TLDR: They will do extensive work without explaining to you what they are going to do or how much it is going to cost. I suspect that this is something they do to young women because they figure we will pay whatever amount needed to get our cars back and to be honest, they're right. That also seem to have a very poor understanding of European cars. Don't make the same mistake I did!! Go somewhere else. For those who want details, here's the scoop: I originally intended not to write a review about this experience because it's already taken up enough of my time and patience. However, because a frustrated friend wrote a review about my recent experience here, got some things wrong, and Radi's felt the need to mention me BY NAME in their response stating that I (who did not write said review) am making false claims, so here I am. Not only was this whole experience horrible, but Radi's also showed a flagrant disregarded for my privacy in their response to the review referenced above. This business is at best, unprofessional slow and incapable of effective communication, and at worst they're predatory and calculating. I can't make up my mind... I came here for an oil change, brake light replacement and to see if there were any new codes on my computer. My check engine had been on for some time but had been cleared by another mechanic who confirmed it was not a pressing issue. Right off the bat, the woman told me they would need the car overnight and quoted me $340. I should have seen this as the red flag it was, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they're just busy... although it seemed odd, as I had made an appointment 3 days prior. I reached out to the shop repeatedly over the next three days. At one point they finally had an update for me. The front desk woman quickly told me that "there were some codes" and there were "some leaks" and that I might need a new computer. I was having trouble understanding her and asked her to please explain exactly what it was they would be doing to my car. She just repeated the same vague information and then told me that "she didn't know how to make me understand" as if I was stupid. She never gave me a quote for the new work except to mention that if I did indeed need a new computer it would be $1400. I asked that they reach out to me if that work needed to be done. I planned to get a second opinion before dropping that kind of money on something blindly. Finally 4 days later, I call again to find that my car is finally ready and that the new computer wouldn't be needed after all. (What a relief!) The man on the phone would not give me the cost of the total repairs which I found odd, but shrugged off at the time. When I arrived, I waited around for the front desk woman for around 10 minutes before she presented me with a bill for over $1900. I was shocked. I was expecting to pay somewhere around the estimate I was originally given ($340) I tried to look at the receipt and ask what all the charges were for but the woman kept moving the receipt so that I couldn't read it and insisting that they were giving me a discount and that they were "cutting into their profits". I needed my car because I was leaving town that day, so I paid and left. Upon leaving I noticed that the messages on my dash regarding the need for maintenance and the brake light that was out were still showing. I found this odd. Once I got home I realized the brake light hadn't even been replaced. This made me suspicious, so I reviewed the (illegible) receipt and couldn't make sense of the calculations. I was also suspicious that the extensive work I was charged for may not have all been done. If they can't take 2 minutes to replace a light bulb, what were they doing with my car for 4 days?? It seemed as though I had been had. After a week or so, my car wouldn't start, then would start for a moment before sputtering to a stall. I went to another mechanic who said that Radi's had likely done
