We've been taking our cars to Wards since we moved to Southern California in 1991. We are VERY happy with how we are treated. When the old Audi kept breaking down, they recommend which repairs were needed right away and which were unnecessary. When I bought my new car, they helped me narrow down the search to something solid and reliable. I know I will never pay for something I don't need. 
Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!! -Anna H.

I've been letting Ward Service Auto Repair handle all my vehicles for past 15 years and will not take any of my cars to another repair shop for any reason. Ward's is a shop where you can leave your car and have confidence knowing it will be fixed at a fair price! - Robert S.

I bought a Honda in September 2009.  When it was time for its first service, I checked online and saw some really good comments about Ward Service Auto Repair in Monrovia.  I have never been disappointed and continue to take my Honda there.  Once the low tire pressure signal came on and would not go off.  A quick call the next morning, a drive to their shop is all it took.  I guess sometimes those warning lights on the dash don't reset without a little help.  I am always grateful for the ride home too. The team at Ward's is always extremely helpful, courteous, knowledgeable and fair! Ward's gets an A+ from me. -Louise G.

Based on a perpetual 5 star rating by AAA, I began taking my BMW to Ward Service over 10 years ago.  AAA was absolutely correct in their praise of Ward Service Auto Repair.  The BMW is long gone, but Ward handles my MINI Cooper with the same great care and concern.  Their e-mail service reminders are a huge plus.  The shop service is exceptional on all levels. What really keeps me coming back is the fact that they have never oversold me and have always been realistic about the timing of any repairs; recommending which repairs need to be fixed immediately and which repairs can wait. I am a customer for life! -Christine C.

I have been going to Ward Service since 2006 when we moved to Monrovia from West L.A.  I had a great mechanic in West L.A. and was very nervous about finding another honest one.  At the time, my wife's vehicle was very old and we wanted to keep it running without sinking a lot of money into it. We asked a friend who has lived in Monrovia his entire life where he takes his cars for service repair.  He highly recommended Ward Service Auto Repair and that he has been a happy customer with them forever.  We went to Ward and Jim was completely straight with us, he didn't try to convince us we needed to spend hundreds of dollars on our vehicle. About $100 later our car kept going for more than a year later.

That was just our first experience with Ward; we have gone back every time.  Now my car is the old one and true to their form, they always treat me straight.  How do I know even though I don't understand a lot about cars? When I talk an old friend who does his own work about the symptoms and he will tell me the possible problems: usually a cheap fix and an expensive one.  I then go to Ward and they, sometimes even mentioning my fear of the expensive fix, and they call back saying it only needs the cheap fix.

I could not be more confident in Ward's integrity or more satisfied with their service.  I always refer my friends to Ward Service Auto Repair.  -B.J. D.

My brother Marc used to work for Ward's when it was in the towing business.  I was recommended to Ward's Service when I needed a mechanic from a co-worker.  In fact other co-workers have been going to Ward Service Auto Repair for years and they all praise their service.  They team is honest, reliable and do great work.  It's great to know you can get transportation to work with their available shuttle service.  They are reasonable in the cost of repairs and labor.  Thanks for everything! -Yolanda L.

My whole family has gone to Ward Service Auto Repair for many years.  We have all been quite happy with the service Ward's has given us. I have moved out of the area, but I bring my truck to Ward's whenever I can!  Good group of guys! -Stephen L.

We have taken our cars to Ward's for many years, following a high recommendation from AAA. We are always pleased with the service and with Jim and his friendly staff. There are not many places any more where one can be greeted by name when coming through the door.  One time, and it was only one time of the dozens we have been there, something went wrong with the job; this was when Ward Service Auto Repair as a whole really showed their class.  There was nothing they wouldn't do to make things right. They even went as far to send a tow truck, cover the cost of a rental car, quickly repaired our car, and followed up to make sure we were pleased with the final result. What more can you ask for? -Howard S.

Ward Service Auto Repair is a family owned business since 1923.  Jim Ward and his team strive to please and are very attentive to details.  I've taken our cars there for years, partially due to their friendliness, but mainly because I like the high value of honesty and don't make up reasons to repair my car.  It is affordable compared to many dealerships. I've always felt the cost has been reasonable and justified for genuine repair needs done correctly and carefully. I believe Ward's is one of the best auto repair services in the San Gabriel Valley. -Larry K.

I previously had taken our families' two cars to a shop in Glendora where we live, but they did not offer shuttle service and were a bit pricey. I have since started taking our cars to Ward Service Auto Repair in Monrovia where I work. The service is outstanding! I like to get to work early, and Jim has met me at the shop (on more than one occasion) before they open to get started on my car. The real treat, though, is getting a ride from Larry! Everyone at Ward Service is helpful, polite, and knowledgeable. My husband and I won't take our cars anywhere else. Thanks for all you do, Ward Service! -Jamie P. Yelp Review

The crew at Ward Service Auto Repair were quick efficient and understanding during a stressful situation.  I would highly recommend them to anyone.  Gary and Jim were great and very honest. -Nora M.

I have taken my sons car and mine to Jim for years. The team at Ward's is honest and hard working with great customer service. I am taking my car back tomorrow for some more repairs that are needed on it. I appreciate their courtesy call before they do any work on my vehicle to let me know what kind of repairs I can expect at my next visit. -Peter B.

I took my car to Ward's for a major repair and was very pleased with the job done.
From the day I drove the car off the lot, it never ran quite right.  Despite numerous trips to the dealership, it was never truly corrected and I learned to live with it.  When registration time approached, I took the car to a repair shop in Pasadena who told me the engine was junk without even looking at it.  A friend recommended Ward's, and I took it there, figuring what is there to lose.  It turned out that the fuel pressure regulator was the root cause of the problem, and nobody prior to Ward's had the tenacity to dig and find the real problem.  Ironically, the car runs much better today than it ever did when it was new. The mechanics at Ward Service Auto Repair are very good at what they do with years of qualified experience. -Mark D.

I took my truck to Ward Service Auto Repair after it had been giving me some trouble recently.  It took Ward's team only one hour to find and fix the issue, I strongly recommend Ward's for automobile service repairs. -Russell V.

We have been taking our cars to Ward Service Auto Repair since 1981, and have referred countless of our friends to them over the years. We have all been treated with respect and professionalism, and have never felt like we were being taken advantage of.  In fact, Jim Ward and his crew have gone out of their way to save us money and trouble whenever possible. I give them my very highest recommendation. -Matthew L.

I manage a service department in South El Monte and Ward Service Auto Repair has been taking care of our fleet of trucks for almost a year. Each time we have a problem with a vehicle, Jim and his crew take care of it very quickly and at a fair price. Ward goes out of his way to help his customers. I am also taking my personal cars to his facility based on my experience using them for work. -Mike D.

Ward's Service is a great place to take your car. They always check-in with me before doing any work, which I value highly. They make it easy to bring my car in because they shuttle me to anywhere I need to be and pick me up when my car is ready. Most of all they work with me and around my schedule. I don't take my car any where else! -Nigel R.

I travel from Sierra Madre and I have always had a great experience each time I've had my vehicle serviced at Ward Service Auto Repair in Monrovia. They demonstrate great, friendly service, accurate diagnosis, and effective results. I've met several others who have been using Ward's auto service for many, many years -- including some where families have been using them for generations! I've always felt I was getting personal, attentive service and I have been well satisfied with the performance of my vehicles under their care. -Joe H.

My wife and I have taken our cars to Ward Service Auto Repair for 28 years - first in Pasadena, and now in Monrovia. We have always been treated courteously and fairly. I can't imagine taking my car elsewhere for check-ups, oil changes and repairs. -Anthony S.

Like many folks, we have taken our vehicles to various establishments for repair in the past. We've had some OK experiences, some not so OK experiences, and some that were downright horrible. Then one day while complaining to a little old lady friend in Glendale, she recommended I try Ward Service Auto Repair in Monrovia.  I took her advise and still, to this day (she is now in her 90's), I often thank her for her advise from many years ago.

The shop is spotlessly clean, and very efficiently run.  The personnel are very friendly, and very knowledgeable.  They have never let me down.  The crew always keeps me informed on both my vehicles when service is due.  I have been going there for years, and have never had anything but a pleasurable experience.  They always find the problem, repair it promptly, and bill me a fair price.  Isn't that what we want? Their facility is also pet friendly, our dog; Bruin loves to tag along with us to the automobile shop too. -Bill C.
