Lakewood & Bellflower Auto Repair

5 Stars all the way, I was having an issue with my car, and even though the are closed on the weekend I emailed them my concerns and received a prompt response. Kevin and Tony are awesome as always.

The owner and employee are really nice and their prices are reasonable.

The service was excellent. I went in with a particularly difficult smog check issue on my Suburban: it wouldn't complete its pre test and, after about two years, I wasn't getting anywhere. Other shops, and even a dealership, couldn't figure out why the tests wouldn't complete. Ray took a look at it and traced the issue back to the truck's computer interacting with the supercharger. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is having the issue finally figured out.

Always a pleasure to have work done at their facility. Trust you can count on.

We've been coming here for years, when it was just a little shop tucked away in a hidden area! This business has saved us thousands of $$$$ over the years. First time was when we brought in a recently purchased '79 Suburban with a lot of deferred maintenance issues. Ray's staff took the time to make us a list of items that needed attention. Over the ensuing months we ticked off the issues, one by one, as we could afford to attend to them. Never had to add to the list, it was a reliable vehicle for us for the time we had it serviced by Ray-A-Motive. Later, we decided to purchase a classic Bronco from a local Cerritos Auto Square dealership. Upon purchase, we drove it directly to Ray's to have it checked-out. Again, Ray's team came through for us! They took it for a test drive, and felt something was amiss. The put the Bronco up on the lift and checked it out. They discovered the frame was cracked! We returned the Bronco to the dealership for a FULL REFUND! We would not hesitate to recommend Ray's to anyone, we've always had good experiences and professional service.

Quality work, at affordable prices. Always back their work. Having older vehicles (20 yrs and 53 yrs old!), Ray is always available to work on them, with the same quality service and quality parts -- as well as advice! Literally not afraid to work on anything! That is a hard mechanic to find, in this day of computer analyzing and newer mechanics not familiar with carburetors, adjusting valves, and such found on my older 1963 Corvette. Great place -- treat customers like family. Recommend them to anyone I know, driving any kind and age vehicle.

let me tell you about this shop!! the best is what i can say, some years back i bought a brand new Toyota Camry and for the life of me i couldn't get the car to drive straight so i took it back to the dealership where i bought it and they re-did the front alignment, in fact over the next three weeks i took it back again to deal with the same issues and they could never solve the problem, new car you think it would drive straight down the road..so i brought my car to Ray-A-Motive and s/w Ray, he took it for a test drive came back to the shop and told me sometimes the alignment can be corrected by resetting the strut,( meaning-loosening the strut bolts and re-positioning the strut, that was back in 2006 so to this day the car still drive just the way it should, Now with this last repair i had, the same results, my 2006 Chrysler pacifica broke down, had a could of people look at it sense it was just sitting at my work and was told it needed a complete engine, sounded pretty correct, well if that was the case i was going to have Ray-A-Motive do the work, towed car there and quickly Ray called me back and told me that i didn't need and engine rather a couple of parts broke on the top end-- saving me about $3000.00 right off the bat, got car back and runs just like when i first purchased it.. thanks Ray-A-Motive you have my car care needs for life..Nice to not have to worry whether the repairs wear done correctly... oh hey Great people!!!

One of a few shops that know what they are doing!
