Our story
The Shop That Earned Its Name
We're Legit Automotive, an auto repair and maintenance shop on Gower Street in Los Angeles. The name isn't a gimmick — it's the standard we hold ourselves to on every car that rolls through the door. Customers regularly tell us the same thing: we give it to them straight, and when a repair isn't necessary, we say so.
From full engine replacements to everyday maintenance, we do the job well, explain what we're doing, and stand behind the work with easy follow-up. If your car breaks down, we'll even help you get it towed to the shop. That's why drivers who found us in a pinch keep coming back for a decade or more.
- We tell you when a repair isn't needed
- Same-day turnaround on many repairs
- Help arranging a tow to the shop
- Open six days a week, including Saturday mornings
What customers say
“I chose to replace the engine in my 2007 Honda Civic. Legit Automotive offered to do the job at a fair price. They were direct, friendly, no-nonsense, honest, and aboveboard. They did the job well - car runs great - and gave me little discounts where they could. No negative surprises.”
“The name Legit Auto speaks for itself. I don't take my cars anywhere else but this place. I have been a customer of theirs for over 10+ years. On so many occasions they would tell me I don't need to fix it, as it's not necessary. I really like their honesty, and caring for their customers.”
“My daughter's car broke down in Long Beach and she was pretty flustered. Called up and Greg answered and he really made me feel comfortable. We had AAA tow her car directly to the shop and Greg took care of it. He got her car fixed the same day.”
