Default Shop recommendation for maintenance near DTLA

Like the title states,
looking for a reputable shop near DTLA to do regular maintenance (oil / fluid change).

I don't have time to drive out too far so anywhere within 15~20 min. driving distance would work. Any suggestions?


Tony Fuchs did the engine job for me but his shop is too far for me to make quick trip and back.

Used to take it to Evasive but they're not the same Evasive I used to know
Chewerks I've been hearing good things about them but little too far


Any input will be greatly be appreciated.

Surprised to hear you were ok with taking it to evasive and not chewerks. If anything, chewerks should be closer.

I like taking my car to Rob at Chewerks. One good thing about Chewerks I've noticed is he passes on the savings to you on parts. If he gets parts for a discount, he won't double dip you on parts on labor. I haven't gone to many shops that run that way. I'm actually going tomorrow to swap out some rear wheel bearings. Its about 22 miles from dtla. funny enough, i work in dtla. the daily commute sucks!

Chewerks wasn't around when I was taking my car to Evasive. It's been a while actually......

Thanks for the input.

It seems like Chewerks is the place to go to..... wish they were a bit closer though....

I haven't been to evasive in 8 years. so i cant speak for their work. Ive been taking my car to my friend loi (loispecgarge) for all my services and work.

I live in ktown, and work in Rowland. (do not daily the S) So i know how much the commute sucks.
