Established in 1992. This business is a family owned and operated auto repair shop. In 1991 Alfonso Gonzalez left his regular day job as an auto mechanic to work on cars at home. Just having a couple of customers a day helped him pay the bills and his recently purchased home. In 1992 his amount of customers grew and was able to open his official licensed auto repair facility in the city of Hawthorne CA, for the next 5 years the businesses boomed from one bay to a 3 bay, 1500 square foot facility, not having enough room he was forced to move to a 2500 square shop in Inglewood, CA. Ten years later he moved to 1129 S. La Brea. Inglewood CA. with 10,000 square foot lot and 4 employees Universal Auto Service still offers great prices and an awesome customer service.

I am new to the area so I relied on Yelp and Google ratings to help me find Hank's Tire. It's an "old school" place - been in business since the 50's and it is second generation family owned - a gem of a find. They educated me, didn't pressure me and made me and my car much happier. Thank you guys!

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE. Back in July I purchased a 1958 Chevy Apache pickup truck from Larry. I found the ad for the truck on Craigslist, and was excited to come see it as it was exactly what I was looking for. The ad stated that the engine was a 350 "Bowtie". After getting the truck home I noticed that it had a HUGE oil leak so I took it to my mechanic to have him track it down and fix it. It was my mechanic that noticed that not only was the engine not a bowtie, but it wasn't a 350 at all! It was a 283! After this discovery I had many phone conversations with the dealership trying to get them to renegotiate the purchase price based on the fact that I bought the truck thinking it had a 350 in it. They just gave me the runaround before finally telling me to sue them. Overall this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience. Please do not buy a car from Woodland Hills Quality Motors.
