Bothwell is a place that actually cares about its customers. They will bend over backwards to see youre satisfied and always do amazing work. If tone tired of taking your car to a dealership that doesnt care about your beyond how much money your can pay so have your vehicle fixed, try these guys.

Im glad I took my car here for an oil change. Gil let me know of some concerns he had and was not pushy about it. I did have him go ahead and check and fix what he was concerned about. I am so glad I did. My car is driving 100% better and no longer making noises I was avoiding. Friendly and helpful.

Good Service and great mechanics. Im very happy with their service.

This is where you go when another repair shop has ruined your car!Soooooo thorough it is unbelievable!

They always do a great job on our cars. Gil, Steve & Todd are awesome.

Love their work, simple straight to the point, if I needed something explained they took the time to explain it, and gave me diffrent options. Been coming here since high school never been disappointed gil is the man to go to

My experience here has always been positive. The guys are great. Wil always recommend this shop.

Great service. Best mechanics. I wouldnt take my Jeep anyplace else!!!

Brought my car in with the check engine light and drive ability problems they repaired it no problem great service really good job and nice people I highly recommend this place Excellent service thank you

Service is great and prices are reasonable.

Dont normally write reviews on Google but these guys are the best and are one of the few companies I consider worth letting everyone else know how great they are. Been going to them since I moved to the South Bay from Norcal on the recommendation of a friend whos been going to them for years. Best way to describe Bothwell Automotive is fair priced, do great work, and most importantly TRUSTWORTHY. Love these guys and Id give them a better rating but 5 stars is the max.

Lovely customer service and consistent updates on the status of my vehicle. They made things clear and answered any questions I had.

Always helpful and fair.

Fair price, repaired right the first time - and theyre polite & willing to explain if needed

Best mechanic shop Ive ever been to and Im 59 years old my car just seems to run better every time I take it out of there even if its theyre changing the oil it just its a great mechanic shop trustworthy honest fair what more can you ask for

I dont trust anyone but these guys. They are so honest and really care about helping people.

Great work and fair prices

I was traveling with my children 700 miles from home. Several sensors along with an engine light went off in my car telling me there was a system failure. I knew I would be at the mercy of what ever the mechanic told me the problem was, and possibly more. I didn’t know a soul in town, so I scoured several online reviews hoping to find an honest place. Luckily there were several places in the area of our hotel and most had pretty good reviews. I am a runner so I set out on foot. Bothwell was the 4th place I went to and after speaking with Gil I felt best about taking my car to him.Gil at Bothwell spent time diagnosing the problem and got us back on the road. He personally followed up with a phone call the next day to see how the car behaved and gave suggestions to give our mechanic when we got home just incase anything happened again. I waited to write the review after I drove the 700 miles safely back home so that I could attest to both his experienced suggestions and ethics in his field. I was in a bad position and could have been out hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Thanks for being the good people in the world Bothwell!

Knowledgeable good people .. keep my 16 yr old Taurus running

Best Mechanic Shop In The South Bay Area.

True they can be a little pricey. But the hourly is average and they only use quality oem parts. Gil is awesome and never sells me things I dont need, and talks me or of things I dont need [yet].I will always and only bring my car here.

Id like to keep this place a secret since its becoming so popular that I cant get in the same day. Theyre beyond nice and reasonable, and their love of racing makes them passionate for cars running right, not just getting fixed.

Drop off my car for new brakes and Im happy it got done on time! It rain the next day and I feel safe.

Im a car enthusiast and have used Bothwell for years for several of our cars, from a 1967 Pontiac to a 2015 Chevy Tahoe. They are 100% honest, exceptionally good, and incredibly reasonable in their pricing. Hands down the best repair shop Ive found in Los Angeles over the past 30 years.

Best mechanics ever! Quality, integrity, and friendly service. They always go above and beyond.

Have been bringing all our familys cars here for decades. They really take care of my now 84-year-old mother, who knows nothing about cars.

Great service. Great technicians. Very inexpensive for quality work. Gilbert and Todd treat you and your car with respect.

Bothwell is the only auto shop with mechanics I trust. Always gives you the straight answers you need to make an informed decision and keep you updated on whatever they do. Kudos!

Honesty, trustworthiness, upfront, excellent workmanship, more than fair prices. Have known them since the 1980s. All my kids went there as well as my mother. Even some of the new car dealers have told me they send work there.

Great work, great communication and honest.

This is by far the best experiences Ive had with any mechanic since moving to California. The two gentlemen who run the shop are incredibly approachable and help you understand what it is thats wrong with your car and what needs to be done. They dont try to flee see you and they make sure that you understand all the options for what they have suggested and their recommendations. As a female taking her car to a mechanic alone, Ive never felt more comfortable speaking to a mechanic one-on-one especially since I dont understand most things mechanical when it comes to my car to begin with. I cant speak highly enough about this group and I hope everyone gives them a chance. I will be back for sure! Thank you so much!

VERY HONEST PEOPLE LITTLE ON THE. $$$$$ BUT WORTH IT.

Very sharp mechanics and honest, they also never over-sell. Was referred to them by a friend, now its the only place I go unless its a covered service by the dealer. Recently brought in my 15yr old SUV which was running rough & even stalling - told them someone else said it was fairly major, ignition module, etc. They found it to be real simple vacuum leak. If I took it anywhere else it would have been several hundred dollars. THX

Great work, fantastic and reliable

Always honest,.. great mechanics and technicians there👍👍

Came here because of all the positive yelp reviews and so glad i did! Everyone was very nice, helpful, and honest. They fixed up my Prius and it was reasonably priced for all the great work they did. Thank you :)

Best mechanics in the South Bay..or anywhere really!! One of the only places my family has ever gone! Gill and Todd are the best!!!

The entire staff provides over the top service every time. I got a surprise the last time that I dropped off the car for service, I didn’t tell them that I needed windshield wipers, but I new I did. When I picked up the car they had put on new wipers including the hard to find rear wind. So now along with taking care of the normal stuff, they have even become psychic changing the wipers. All kidding aside, bothwell is the same type of center that you would find.in a small town that could do it all. They are the electrical experts.If you are looking for a mechanic that runs an honest ethical business, Bothwell is the place.

Grate guys here gill and Steve are awsome

They take very good care of the company I work for anytime we need something. They make us feel like were there only customer. If we have a problem and we call them for help. They give us information over the phone or they send somebody to look at whatever we need and they fix The problem. They work on all her company vehicles. Im very please with them in their service. Gil is one fantastic guy.

Great people that I will see with all our cars and trucks. Gill and staff are the best.Thanks

Finally - a mechanic who can actually be trusted! These guys really know their stuff, AND... they wont ever try and upsell you on something you dont need. Keep up the great (honest!) work, gents!

Honest service, great work and fair prices.

Very nice people that work here

Ive been taking my and my familys vehicles to Bothwell Automotive for many, many years starting with my 84 Corvette. Originally a domestic auto electric shop, they now work with great skill on almost any problem of any make and model. Gil, Steve and Todd really know their stuff. Steve collaborated with GM to develop the 2.0 liter turbocharged engine thats in my 2010 Chevy HHR-SS. Their work is fairly priced, and they are always trustworthy and honest. I started taking my Vette there after another shop would damage something every time I brought the car in for work. No collateral damage to my vehicles has ever happened at Bothwell Automotive. Excellent shop both for routine maintenance and for repairs. They even were able to replace my goddaughters CR-Vs stolen catalytic converter with all Honda factory parts; before that her CR-Vs starter (the repair requires R&R of the intake manifold to access the starter, so I wasnt going to attempt that procedure myself).Fast forward to January 2021---The check engine light came on in my HHR-SS. Steve Bothwell investigated the codes and traced the problem to a stuck purge solenoid in the vaper recovery/purge system. In and out in 1 day---all fixed at a reasonable cost. As always, thanks Bothwell Automotive!

Very honest & genuine guys. Great with everything they have ever done for us!

Honest, friendly people, and great service!

Knowledgeable and honest

Hi. My wife and I have been taking our cars to Bothwell for years, primarily Toyotas including my Prius and GMs. We have never had an issue with a repair. Every time I have compared their price with a dealers, they are significantly cheaper. They have also told us when we asked having work done and told us that the work wasnt needed.Finally, the cars have always been ready when they told us they would be ready except in one case, where they called us about a half day in advance and said they were having an issue getting a part from Toyota (it was not available locally and needed to come from the Toyota warehouse).

I love this place I always take my cars here they have great staff and they do a great job.

TODD WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY VAN (BLOWN SPARK PLUG) WHEN HE HEARD ME PULLING IN. THEY HAVE CUSTOMER RESTROOMS. HE CALLS BACK.

Been going here for decades. Always good honest service at decent prices.

Simply went there and paid $500 to fix something that wasnt the problem. Plus they gave an attitude for complaining.

My family and I have been coming to this place for decades. They are the best mechanic shop in Torrance by far - fair, good, reasonably priced.
