Welcome to Our Auto Repair Shop

Our mechanic shop has been in business for 20 years. We are a small auto repair shop that is family owned. The reason our customers are loyal to us is because we have a passion for serving our community, and we show that in our work ethic. Although Los Angeles has one of the biggest metro areas, we provide that small-town friendliness that is hard to find at a mechanic shop in crowded cities. With a tech-savvy and bilingual auto repair staff, you can rest assured that we will understand your needs and do our best to meet them. We are known for being able to find and fix complex auto repair issues. Your safety and satisfaction are top priorities to our mechanic shop. Hector's Auto Repair strives to be a reliable business that you can trust now and for years to come.

Meet Hector, Owner and Skilled Auto Repair Mechanic

In 1990, Hector Linares immigrated to Los Angeles from El Salvador. He was only 20 years old at the time. He always had a passion for auto repair, and he pursued his goal of becoming a mechanic when he arrived here. During the day, he worked hard. At night, he attended mechanic school. His training continued over the span of 15 years, and he developed many skills during that time. Today, he has more than three decades of relevant mechanic experience and has worked for Toyota auto repair, an all-European auto repair shop and his own mechanic shop. He holds multiple prestigious certifications, including ASE Master Certified and Hybrid Certified.

Before opening his own shop, he was the head tech at a Toyota dealership for eight years, and he worked for four years at an all-European auto repair center. Hector is ASE Master certified and hybrid certified.

Uriel is one of the youngest techs at Hector’s auto repair, but he’s already been here for six years and he’s certified for European vehicles and imports. He’s also responsible, never missing a day and never failing to hold down his workload—most days, he’s the first guy in the door and the last one out at night. Uriel is also friendly, helpful, and great to talk to.
