The honest estimate a dealership won't give you
Our story
Tap's Auto Repair Center has been fixing cars in Long Beach for more than 20 years, and the same reasons customers found us back then are why they keep coming back today: a straight answer about what's actually wrong, and a price that doesn't try to take advantage of you.
We're a small, hands-on shop. When you bring your car in, you're talking directly with Tap or Huang, not a service counter. That's how a customer needing a new radiator got a quote nearly $700 less than a competing shop down the street, with the same honest explanation of what the job required.
Whole families have trusted us with every vehicle they've owned for two decades, and more than one customer has told us they trust our word over a dealership's. That's the kind of relationship we work to earn with every car that comes through the door.
What customers say
“Tap runs one of the few honest repair shops around. We have been taking our cars here for over 20 years. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a fair estimate.”
“I needed a new radiator and Huang over at Tap's was direct and honest about what needed to be done. They quoted me an extremely fair price and I felt taken care of... I cannot recommend them enough and there's a reason they have been in business for so long.”
“I have been going here for nearly 20 years. Never have had any issues with any of my vehicles that I have brought there for service. Quick, prompt service at affordable prices.”
