The shop

Run by Ali, who would rather tell you the truth than sell you a repair.

General Auto Service & Repair has been keeping Bellflower on the road for years. Owner Heriberto "Ali" Gomez built the shop on a simple idea: diagnose the real problem, quote it fairly, and fix it so it stays fixed.

Customers come here after other shops hand them an outrageous estimate for something that was never the issue. We take the time to look properly, and we do the big jobs, from diagnostics to full engine work, in-house.

What we do

One shop for everything under the hood.

From an oil change to an engine out on the stand, it gets handled here, by the same people every time.

01

General Repair & Maintenance

Oil changes, fluids, belts, filters and the routine care that keeps your car reliable. We tell you what needs doing now and what can wait.

02

Computer Diagnostics

Check-engine light on? We plug in, read the codes and use a borescope to see inside, so you get a real diagnosis instead of a guess.

03

Engine & Major Repair

From leaks and timing to full engine work, we handle the jobs other shops send away. You saw the photos, we do it in-house.

04

Brakes & Suspension

Pads, rotors, struts and the parts that keep you stopping straight and riding smooth. Safety work we never cut corners on.

05

Tires & Wheels

New and used tires, mounting, balancing and rotations. We keep tires on-site so you are not stuck waiting on an order.

06

Towing & Recovery

Stuck on the side of the road? We have driven out to recover a stranded customer in under 45 minutes. Call and we will come get you.

Excelente service, affordable and very knowledgeable. I fully recommend this shop, they were the ones that were able to fix my car after going to 4 others that have an outrageous quote for something that wasn't even the problem. Ali got it fixed fast and perfect.
