Lakewood & Bellflower Auto Repair

My family and I are from SC. Last summer we took a trip across country in our motor home. Everything was great until we started overheating and broke down in LA. We were referred to Ray-A-Motive by another gentleman that worked on our generator. I can’t tell you the helpless feeling that one has when you are that far away from home, broken down with three kids and your wife. I felt confident from the moment I called and talked to Oliver. This awesome group of people went above and beyond the call of duty to not only get us back on the road, but make us feel so comfortable that we felt like we were part of their family! They had to replace several parts on the motor and put in a new serpentine belt that Ray himself personally went out on a Saturday, when closed, to retrieve from another town just so that we could be back on the road ASAP. While the motor home was being fixed, our tow car broke down too! They helped us get a rental car to continue our vacation and they were able to fix that car and get it back on the road too. This man and his employees are what it means to have integrity and honor in all that you do. I cannot say enough about the experience that me and my family had with them. I wish we could bring our vehicles here all the time. Amazing service with honest and dependable people! Thank you!

Once again brought my Tahoe in for a smog test and all went well. They recently helped my son out with a Transmission replacement and oil leak repair. He is very pleased and happy to have a trustworthy shop to come to locally.

Service you can trust with a smile is the norm. If you can't wait for your repair they will arrange for a local ride home for you. I've been using them since before they came to this location. As long as I'm in this area I will only use them for my automotive needs.

I had a coupon, so I took my truck to the dealership for an oil change. They found that the engine oil cooler lines were leaking, and the left motor mount had failed. I was given an estimate, whereupon I called Ray A Motive immediately after exiting the dealership. After a brief discussion with Oliver, I was given an estimate over the phone, same parts as the dealership would have used, the estimate was $150.00 less than the dealer. Oliver ordered the parts and I had the repairs made on the following business day. I have had my son and daughter's vehicles repaired at Ray A Motive over the years, and we never driven away feeling as if the service and the quality of work was in question. Ray has developed a reputation for delivering quality work, done right the first time, while offering competitive prices and he has the cleanest shop on the planet. Additionally, over the many years Ray A Motive has performed work on my, my son or daughter's vehicles, never once have we ever had to take our vehicles back due to an issue with the work or a failed part. Quality work, done right, the first time!

I've had many years of service and it's always pleasant, professional, and with Quality workmanship.

Very honest and quality work.

Great people, great service, great price. Sharp folks quickly figured out an intermittent ignition problem and fixed it. I'll go back to Ray A Motive from now on.

Kevin was great, as was the rest of the staff. They were friendly and responsive in addressing any concerns I had with my vehicles.

The owner and employee are really nice and their prices are reasonable.

The service was excellent. I went in with a particularly difficult smog check issue on my Suburban: it wouldn't complete its pre test and, after about two years, I wasn't getting anywhere. Other shops, and even a dealership, couldn't figure out why the tests wouldn't complete. Ray took a look at it and traced the issue back to the truck's computer interacting with the supercharger. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is having the issue finally figured out.
