Our story
Lim Auto Tech is Peter Lim's shop — a place where every car gets the same meticulous inspection, whether it's a coolant top-off or a full radiator replacement. We check first, explain what we find, and only do the work that's actually needed. That approach has earned us a following. One family has trusted Peter for over 27 years. Customers tell us they've been overcharged elsewhere and finally found a shop that's straight with them — quoting fair prices, skipping unnecessary work like wheel rotations that aren't needed yet, and even doing free assessments when that's all a car requires. We work on everything from routine maintenance to hybrid vehicle cooling systems, and we back it up with a 5-star reputation built one honest repair at a time.
What customers say
“Brought my hybrid camry in for a coolant exchange. Peter was very conscientious and took the time to fill both the inverter and radiator chambers. Very pleased with his service.”
“My family has trusted and respected Peter for over 27 years, I have been ripped off before at other shops but Peter has always been open and honest with his work. He is quick and the parts he fixes really last. I highly recommend him to anybody and everybody, there are few people like him anymore.”
“Peter's flexibility and respect for customer preferences make him one of the most trustworthy mechanics in the city, and I would definitely return for his services.”
