Ghassems Service Center - Long Beach (CA)

5 /5 Rudy Huezo: Ghassem’s Service Center in the LBC provides amazing service for a fair price! I was referred to them by a neighbor and I’m glad I called and took my Prius in for service. The catalytic converter was stolen and I priced out a few service shops including Toyota (you can only buy the part from Toyota!) I stopped by Ghassem’s and their price for parts a labor was a lot less than the others. They were very courteous and knowledgeable and kept their word - which is very important to me. They also installed a metal shield that I purchased from CAT to hopefully thwart any future attempts to steal the catalytic converter.

5 /5 Ashleigh Cole: Ive been bringing my cars here for something like 15 years. They always treat me fairly and do great work. Theyre very good about explaining what the problem is and to let me know what should be prioritized vs what can wait (and how long it can wait for), have even done a few things for no charge when it was something small that didnt require a lot of time or parts, and their prices are very reasonable. We recently had to replace our transmission, the dealership wanted $11K. Our guy here went above and beyond, tracking down a refurbished transmission that was hard to find and they were able to do it for half what the dealership wanted.

5 /5 Sal H.: I recently took my car to Ghassems Auto Repair in Long Beach for a brake service and oil change, and I couldnt be more satisfied! The staff was friendly, professional, and took the time to explain everything in detail. They completed the brake repair and oil change quickly and efficiently, and the price was very reasonable. I felt confident in their work, and my car is running smoother than ever. The shop has a welcoming vibe, and I appreciate their honesty and excellent customer service. Highly recommend Ghassems Auto Repair for anyone in need of quality car maintenance!

1 /5 Mits Fam: I brought my vehicle in for a clutch job. Gave the owner of the shop who said he was in business 48years my license plate number. He searches my car using the plate and somehow “ordered the wrong clutch kit”. Called me to notify me it appeared I have a aftermarket performance clutch installed and he didn’t know what he was looking at. He then notifies me that I could purchase the parts on my own or he could take it apart and replace the part casing my issue. “Most likely a return fork or release bearing”. I notified him I would be more comfortable having him order the clutch kit compatible for my car and if a stock flywheel needs to be ordered it is available through Mitsubishi. He continued to say but he doesn’t know what he’s looking at and he would need to take everything apart to look at it. I told the owner I would much rather you do the complete job wanting nothing other than 1 clutch kit, and a flywheel if mine couldn’t be resurfaced. All he kept telling me was I could get my own parts or have him order them. But he was not willing to order all the parts to complete the necessary tasks. Only wanting to replace the components causing the issue, basically telling me he would leave a burned clutch in my car and just replace a fork or bearing. I began getting frustrated after repeating the same thing to Eachother 4-5 times and enunciated more clearly that I would like him to order the 2.4l clutch kit and if needed flywheel, he claimed I was yelling at him which was false and told me to just come get my car. I am giving this man a one star for his business ethic. He ended up telling me he didn’t want to work on it because he didn’t know what he was looking at and wasn’t willing to go any further. He put his pride above his own customer and definitely lost any future business with me or my friends and relatives. If anyone reads this. Please do not take these words lightly, ANY MECHANIC WILLING TO REPLACE JUST THE CLUTCH FORK OR RELEASE BEARING AND NOT DO THE WHOLE JOB DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE WORKING. IT IS A SYSTEM OF MUTKIPLE COMPONENTS ONE EACH SERIOUSLY COMPLICATING THE OTHER IF FAILURE OCCURS. I would have paid 1200$ just for my clutch to burn out or go out within a few months and be out another thousand or more. He is untrustworthy

5 /5 Tusi Suafai: Ghassem is the shop you want to call when your car isnt running right. Abi and his son were so nice and very knowledgeable in getting my car diagnosed and back on the road. If youre close to Long Beach, give them a call. You wont be disappointed
