"Mike totally saved the day. My car broke down and was stuck in neutral in West Covina, which is an unfamiliar area to me. I called AAA and needed to get my car towed to a shop within 5 miles. I was lucky to find Mao's Garage open at 6pm on a Saturday. I called ahead and Mike told me, even though he specializes in foreign vehicles, he'd take a look at my Saturn, with a potentially ruined Transmission. I leave the car over the weekend, worried that the repair will cost more than the car is worth, but the next business day Mike sends me a text detailing how he saved my car! Rather than a broken transmission, it was the shift linkage that had a piece break off, and instead of having to order a part, Mike created a custom bracket that was the perfect fit to get my car shifting into gear again. He even adjusted my handbrake and re attached a door panel for me before I took the car. Mike seems like a super nice and honest guy that goes above and beyond for his customers! Would recommend this shop to anyone seeking detailed care for their vehicle"

"I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Legend 7!! Joey is one of the most helpful and kind shop owners I've ever met, and all the staff and mechanics are all extremely skilled and hospitable. They helped me choose the perfect color for my new car and it’s absolutely stunning and even better than I could've ever imagined. The attention to detail is unreal, every single edge and curve was wrapped absolutely flawlessly. I love how my car looks so much that I find excuses to drive it every chance I get. The whole process was smooth, professional, and a pleasure from start to finish. Come here if you want spectacular service at a phenomenal price!!"

Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches.
