They do good work but OVER CHARGE. I car recently failed smog test due to an error code and high hydrocarbons. They charged me $160 to diagnosis that I needed a new vapor recovery Canister and offered to replace it for an additional $540. I called Toyota and they said they would charge 510 to replace the part. Before bringing the car to Hull, I searched the error code and found the canister needed replacing with... view moreout popping the hood or spending $160.

Honest, trustworthy, skilled! Over sixty years in business
I`ve been in LA since 1986, and have not found a better place to have major (and minor) automotive work done!
They have rebuilt one engine for me when someone I loaned my car to blew the head gasket. They were honest and told me that it would cost a lot, but when I weighed the price they gave me to the cost of a new-used car, it was very, very affordable, and they did the project right! Now, they are in the mi... view moreddle of restoring my 1970 Buick Riviera. They are very communicative with me, even e-mailing me when they find items on Ebay that I might need! What auto shop does THAT? Amazing! I also know that they build and race dragsters and I am sure that my rebuilt 455 V8 will run circles around the rest! Alan is a second generation mechanic and he and his father have had this business for over 60 years, heck it might even be near 70 years now! I love these guys. If they were closer, I`d get all my auto repairs done there. Since they are a bit far from me, I just take them the major work I don`t trust other people with.
