Auto Repair in Hollywood, CA

Auto repair for Hollywood drivers

Pinky's Automotive has been fixing cars in Los Angeles since 2006. The Melrose Avenue shop is where the business started — a genuinely independent, family-run garage in a part of town where those are getting harder to find.

We are an independent shop, not a dealership and not a chain. That means dealership-grade diagnostic equipment without dealership pricing, and it means the person explaining the repair to you is one of the owners. Every job gets a written estimate first, and nothing gets replaced without your approval.

What we handle here

The Hollywood shop covers the full service menu — brakes, engine diagnostics, A/C, transmission and drivetrain, cooling, electrical, tires and alignment, exhaust and emissions, and routine maintenance. The four we get asked about most:

• Brake Repair — Squealing, grinding, a soft pedal or a shudder when you stop — bring it in and we'll tell you exactly what's worn and what isn't.
• Check Engine Light — A code tells you which circuit is unhappy.
• A/C Repair — A/C that blows warm is almost always a leak.
• Transmission — Slipping, harsh shifts or a shudder does not automatically mean a rebuild.

See the complete service menu for everything else, or send us a service request and we'll get back to you.
