The team at Morris Automotive is amazing! I recently moved out of LA, but for the three years that I lived there I consistently took my car to Morris Automotive and was always satisfied with their treatment of my car and transparency of prices. They worked with me when it came to budgeting and car fixes. They were transparent about what could wait to be fixed and what needed attention ASAP. I wish Morris Automotive couldve moved to my new home state with me! I miss having a dependable mechanic. Its can be tough finding one you can trust and for me Morris Automotive was/is a mechanic shop I know I can trust to deliver amazing service and friendly hellos. Miss you all!

Bruce is top notch and takes special care of all of my classic vehicles. He’s great. This shop is reliable. Most others are not. My Bronco was towed there from another shop where it was poorly repaired. I am happy now Thank you !

Bruce are Rod are great guys and make you feel super welcome. These guys stopped at nothing and got my car fixed in no time at all for much cheaper than I expected. They even went above and beyond in letting me keep my car there when I had to leave on an urgent trip. Bruce even offered to let me come back to get my car checked before I go try to pass smog again. Theyre honest, fair, welcoming, and get the job done. You cant go wrong with bringing your car here.

I have never used them they gave me a diagnosis that was dead on and good prices but I got rid of the car. Have great reputation.

Review №11

Communicating with Rod is easy and direct. Knowing that Morris automotive is a stand up business and keeps you informed through the entire diagnostic process. Dave continues to make it easier to give my money on repairs due to knowing that I have been presented with the truth. I highly recommend Morris Automotive for car repair as I have been coming here since 1998.

Called and spoke with Bruce and he was extremely courteous, helpful and professional. Dropped my car off the next morning to have my brakes checked because it was making a horrible noise. I needed my brakes replaced and Morris Automotive did the job quickly and for a reasonable price. Got my car back same day and am very happy with service I received. I would take my car back to them again and highly recommend them for any type of auto repair and maintenance.

Review №16

I have used Morris automotive for decades and many different types of cars. Dave himself is a Master Diagnostician and when my whole mechanical world is mystified, Dave can figure it out. Morris Automotive did some weird cleaning out of my cars internal system 2 years ago and my 1999 Toyota Celica GT with 247,000+ miles on it sailed through smog test with better numbers than ever. I was doubtful at first but it improved performance for reals, not just a rip off add on. Morris Motors has never recommended things I don’t need. When Dave retires I’m going to stop driving.

These guys do great work and are quick and respect your time. Bruce is super friendly and knowledgeable.l as well. They also were willing to work on my 1999 dodge which is getting old, so I really appreciate that. I highly recommend Morris Automotive and they are my go-to shop in LA whenever I need maintenance or repairs.

I received a written estimate to submit to my company for approval. The parts were ordered per my request ahead of time. The repairs were completed quickly using the dealer parts I requested. The truck interior was completely cleaned and vacuumed when I picked up the vehicle. This shop runs under great ownership with superior management and experienced mechanics. I give it my highest recommendation with complete satisfaction.

Review №35

Dave and his team saved me from having to buy a new car. Literally! My car was diagnosed with an undetectable engine problem/noise by my mechanic of 20 years who said my 2014 Jeep was beyond help and I shouldnt drive it long distances. They recommended I look for a new car. I took my car to Dave for a second opinion and he took the time to find the problem and fix it ... without breaking the bank. Thank you, Dave! You saved me $40,000!

I absolutely recommend Morris Auto for any body work. I wish they could do all my car work! The owner is the most honest, trustworthy and friendly person. As a female, I trust he won’t rip me off and has done excellent work on my car at extremely fair prices. He’s saved me so much money and will always look around for the best prices for car parts. Save yourself time, money and stress by going to Morris!

I cannot say enough about the guys (Bruce & Rod) at Morris Automotive. Been coming here a little over a year now. My friends recommended them. Im so happy with the service Ive received. I have two older cars (1994 Toyota 4Runner & 2002 Toyota Sequoia) and I am the original owner of both. I love my cars. My teenage son drives the 94 & I drive the 02. Since weve been coming here our cars are running smoothly. If youve got an old or new car, I recommend Morris Automotive.

Review №44

For years, I worked with a different mechanic who was direct, honest, concerned about the cost (on my behalf), and reliable. He fixed things right and fixed them fast.When he retired (after keeping my cars on the road for 25 years), I asked him for a recommendation. He had only one: Morris. And theyve been just as dependable, reasonable, and efficient for years now. Plus theyre exceptionally friendly, which always helps.

I went to Morris Automotive today . I Usually do repairs myself to save money because we all know how mechanics can be expensive. But I needed a fast repair because of the job I have.

As well as getting the repairs that i needed done to where in a couple of hours i got my car back working great. I reccomend there Automotive repair greatly.

I had such a great experience at Morris Automotive! My car idled and turned off twice on PCH. After a safe Google search, I called them and they told me to head straight there. They were friendly, offered me coffee and assessed my car. They kept open communication with updates regarding costs, part explanations and timeline. My car was ready the same day and was even vacuumed. I ended up leaving with a great story from Bruce and a perfectly running car (it was the camshaft!). Ill definitely go back to Morris Automotive and highly recommend them. Thank you!

They were wonderful. Very kind, everyone greeted me as they passed. I never felt like I was being talked down to and all processes were explained prior to taking any action. I was especially appreciative that they didnt try to upsell me on anything, but offered to take care of anything I may need in the future, even top off of fluids. They also graciously offered to pick me up from home so I didnt have to wait for a ride over to pick up my car. I would absolutely give them my business again.

Took an older (1962) vehicle to them for a mix of things to get done/diagnosed. Great communication, didnt speak down to me, and did the work promptly. Went above and beyond suggesting other things I could/should be doing to help it run better. Maybe not the cheapest hourly rate youll find but Id argue its worth it… all friendly guys too :)

I got in a small accident not long before the shelter in place order went into effect. I had taken my vehicle to another garage right after the accident, and it ended up sitting there for just over two weeks. During this time that garage did not open up my vehicle to check out the damage and spent a long time looking for parts before finally telling me that they couldn’t get the parts to fix my 2007 Saturn in all of California.I called up Morris Automotive for a second opinion, and Bruce told me right away that he could get the parts. I had my vehicle towed over to Morris the next day, Bruce had the parts by the end of that day, and I got my vehicle back the very next day. The price I paid was even cheaper than I had expected. Morris Automotive had my back when I thought I had completely lost my car in the middle of a pandemic. I highly recommend this garage.

Morris Automotove and Dave Morris the owner are so exceptional in EVERY way!!!! I’ve been coming to them for over 20 years!!! He is the BEST!! He is kind and leaves no stone unturned when fixing and/diagnosing any of my vehicles!! He also always tries to give you the BEST price he possibly can! The work they do is always phenomenal!! I have a story I like to tell everyone I recommend him to : 20 years ago, I had a ‘66 Mustang and something sounded really bad, so I brought it to a mechanic who told me it was my axle and it was going to cost me $500.00. I wanted a second opinion and went to Dave Morris who was highly recommended to me...He looks at my car and says : “It’s the rim- $12 dollars.” Wow! That was it for me! Amd I’ve been an extremely grateful, very happy and satisfied customer ever since!!!

Morris Automotive is awesome - wish I had discovered them sooner! They fixed my car and charged me HALF of what was quoted to me by Santa Monica Lexus dealership service center for the exact same work (leaking cv boot). Plus, the guys at Morris Automotive are all genuinely nice, knowledgeable, and most importantly, TRUSTWORTHY!! Bruce was great to deal with. So glad I found them; they will help take good care of my car for a long time.

Review №88

I have a 4 Runner with an absurd number of miles. It had, after 20 years, started to run rough in stop-and-go traffic and had briefly stalled on three occasions. My previous mechanic could find nothing wrong and suggested I bring it back when the problem was worse. Instead, I took it to this place, which had been recommended by a friend who also owned a 20 year-old Toyota. My truck now runs like new or, at least, how it ran a couple hundred thousand miles ago.

Review №89

They seemed to do a great and thorough job on my front brakes. But maybe because I have an older car the engine job still has some problems. I feel they should just tell me what else needs to be done or its just too old to repair. It has oil leaks. Overall I think Dave the owner tries to be fair and make every job good. Theyre still offering to help if they can. I feel they are honest and willing to make every job they do good.

Review №92

Auto repair shops aren’t generally known for giving discounts and incredible service...until now. I called around to five shops and Bruce made me feel like the Prius would be as good as new for a fair and reasonable price. Sure enough, they did just that and I am grateful. As if that wasn’t enough, Jesus (a diamond in the rough who also happens to be a Mexican healer with mad skills) drove my toddler and me home in the Prius (so I didn’t have to uninstall the car seat) and picked us up the next day. I can’t possibly sing the praises of Morris Automotive enough. Thank you for fixing the Prius after it was broken into, for not charging me an arm and a leg, and for doing it all with smiles, courteous service, and much compassion. If only all businesses could follow this model, what a world this would be...

I cannot praise this business enough. I was in town for the afternoon using a borrowed car. They squeezed me in and diagnosed/documented the issue and applied a temporary fix so that I could return home that evening.

Bruce was really great on the phone and in person. Made me feel like they were in total control and not going to try to take advantage of my pocket! Left my car there, I had to go to work. Received a phone call from Bruce and letting me know what the issue was with my car and how much it would be. Very next day I got another phone call saying my car was ready. He even made sure to give me my AAA discount. Will totally take my car back for anything that needs to be fixed. So painless.
