Default -- Need a repair shop in socal/close to torrance,ca--

long story short......took my car to dynamic automotive in midcity and didn't trust sonny.....he said i'd need to either replace or rebuild the idle control unit without looking at the car while he was working on something else...the shop was completely empty so i'm not sure if he just wanted to make money or what but from what i read all you have to do is clean it and it'll be good.. Also tried to check out TM engineering in carson and saw 2 fixed up lexus's outside but no one answered the door...don't know if there in business still. Anyhow i need a shop i can trust and need to get my car fixed along with other things. thanks

Here are a couple of shops that I recommend to my family and friends:

The Toy Shop
1617 Sepulveda Blvd Ste 11
Torrance, CA 90501
(310) 534-8428

Hiro Auto Repair
20441 Hawthorne Blvd
Torrance, CA 90503
(310) 371-9174

Both are in Torrance, honest, and have good rates. Also, see their Yelp reviews. Good luck!
