    Went down there and met Carl to sort out an OBD2 issue and walked in before I knew they were open but he had the door open and happened to be there. He let me bang around his shop and check out cool cars/stuff while he immediately started looking over my car. He solved my electrical dilemma same day and was a very cool guy. He charged me a fair price and I tipped my man for sorting me “same day”.


    It was also cool he let my wife and daughter walk around and check out priceless F cars.

    Carl is the absolute best, he had my car there for it's major when the entire COVID thing started. Got it back in 3 weeks and it's running like new!!! He's been around working and I highly recommend him as always!

    Is this the same Carl, the big black guy whose brother was a big cat guy in Nevada? I thought he was there years ago and left. Is he back?

    Definitely no. Different dude. He actually left my key in the ignition, had to jump me when I picked it up. It died in the street and I ended up having to call a flatbed.

    At least he fixed what I needed fixed. I even gave home some extra scratch (before I knew I would be calling a tow 5 miles from his shop).

    Carl knocked out an oil change while I went next door for A coffee. I didn’t even have a chance to finish my drink and the car was done

    I agree, Carl is great but Aaron is a waster of time. I wish Bongo was still there. He was great.

    Tank is back in and now it is throwing a code for “left front shock out of alignment”...damn I cannot wait to get this thing back and install these new boss pipes I just got from Fabio.

    At least it will be fixed !

    Carl did great service on my 355 when he was back in L.A, La Cienega and Robertson locations. Can you share his contact # or address of his new shop?
    Thank you.
