Signal Hill Foreign Auto Service

Took my car to this shop because it wasn’t idling properly, they took it on a 20 mile “test drive” for some reason to see if it would die “on idle”. All it seemed to be was a small electrical connection but still there was no need for a test drive to be that long or even at all if it’s an at idle problem. Charged me 40 for gas when a full tank is 50-60$ got it back at less than half a tank. Like really they think customers are dumb Got my car back with a burnt ass clutch, my CDs sifted through, things in my car changed places that could have stayed put. They clearly don’t care about the idea of just working on the vehicle they are going to touch your stuff too. Love driving on a soft clutch now til I can afford a service on it. I’m a full time student with two jobs just to afford cost of living, now you throw a burnt clutch in my face, bravo blond bearded mechanic whoever u are. This shop looks like a mess I should have came when the tow dropped my car off, I would have driven it back home. So disorganized, your car won’t even make it close to a real lift there’s too many broken cars and parts in the way 😭 they fix your car on the driveway. A joke of a shop. Go a street over to Euro Car Clinic for good contrast

John came off as a very nice mechanic. I towed my BMW 2004 car there two days ago. My car was running with no noise in the engine. I was told it was an electrical problem. These people are horrible. When I returned to pick up my car it was worse than when I towed it there. Please don't bring your car to these criminals. They broke my the top of my car into pieces with a hammer or some. Kind of heavy instrument. Told me I need a new engine for *6,000 and they would finance it. Very racist crew. They should be sued for vandalism to my car. They are very very Racist. Do not take your car to them......Do not go to these hypocrites. They drained all my oil out of my car. Messed up the crankcase and pistons. Now I'm searching for a new car. Now I'm stuck with $6,000 plus repairs.

I have been looking for an honest and affordable place for all our vehicles and this is the place. Very happy with the service. Turnaround time worked out perfect for my schedule. I highly recommend John and the rest of the crew. Happy customer

A find. Honest, efficient and reasonably priced. You need your Volvo "brick" 140-series, 240-series or 740-series worked on, these guys know what they're doing.

STAY AWAY! JOHN is a liar and a crook. We took our BMW there 2004 for a check up. My car was cutting off. It wasn't making any noise when I dropped it there. When we returned in two days they said we needed a new engine, and that they would finance it for $6,000. When John turned the car on we heard a loud noise in the cylinder (top of engine) and it rattled and turned off. There was no noise or "knocking" noise in my car. The problem was electrical. We believe that these monsters took a crow bar/sledgehammer or some type of heavy instrument and vandalized the cylinder heads of our vehicle. These people are criminals and should be sued.
