Referred by a friend of a friend, both of whom live in my neighborhood, when I needed an oil change and my regular shop was unable to take me. From the first phone call to check availability, I was met with professionalism and kindness by Julie. She got me in the books and 90 minutes later I was pulling in for my appointment. Julie set right to work with questions about my vehicle. What type of oil had I been using? Ummm...the brown one??? LOL No worries she would look it up and they would use manufacturer recommended. Additionally, she would have the tech run a check for any code alerts in the car. Now that everything is connected to on board electronics, this type of a check is standard, but I didn't know that and I should be aware if the manufacturer is flagging anything this way. In the end, no flags detected! This is a family run operation that's been in business for over 33 years. Julie was so great at getting my intake paperwork completed and into the queue. Hubs came with and we sat down in their comfortable waiting area. Another person was waiting, a young lady, pleasantly engaging with Julie btwn incoming phone calls. The young lady and her family have been coming to 60 Minute Tune for years and only trust them with their vehicles. In addition to that endorsement, we looked at pictures everywhere of - cue REM & Kate Pierson - happy, shiny people: customers (and their pets!) that are such an important part of 60 Minute Tune, they honor them on the walls of their business. While we waited, Julie made a point of getting to know us while fielding calls in a pleasant and familiar voice to customers calling for appointments or status of cars being worked on. Nosey Gladys Kravits that I am, I listened and appreciated how easily she spoke of what was being worked on, describing things like alternators and how they work, but not saying more than a mechanic had finalized on a particular job, so as to not misinform them. The oil change took less than and hour and was in line with the cost of previous oil changes. By the time the paperwork was completed, we had a plan of staying on top of the oil consumption of my Hyundai, which is known to have a habit of burning oil quickly, in order to get that situation rectified. I left feeling a weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I had a new auto shop to rely on. Thanks, Julie! You're a gem and a great representative of 60 Minute Tune. Cheers! "CC" read more

See all

Just amazing. Can't say enough about 60 minute tune. If you want a very rare and honest assessment of your vehicle, just bring it here. ! It's comforting to bring your vehicles to a business and never questioning the estimate. Refereed my mom here and the service from Julie to the garage is top notch. Thankful for 60 minute tune!! read more

Great team. They took me in without anapointment and were super friendly and helpful. My new go to for mechanical repair. Thanks guys.

I've taken my car here as a recommendation from my former mechanic, Bob, at the 76 Station. They have always been kind and have taken me home when my vehicle needed to stay there. Yesterday was the cherry on top! My car sounded funny when starting it. I called right away and Julie told me to bring it in even though they were busy. They checked it and I needed a new battery. Within a half hour, I was able to get my groceries and be home. I'm so appreciative of the service and hospitality that everyone at 60 Minute Tune shows! The price was reasonable as well! read more

After getting a routine oil change at the Acura dealer where I bought my 2018 MDX, they did a diagnostic on the vehicle and determined that I needed quite a few items replaced because of routine wear & tear or scheduled maintenance. The items ranged from replacing stabilizer and control arm bars to replacing my timing belt, replacing the transmission fluid and replacing spark plugs. The estimate was ridiculous! For a car that only had 51K, which is only driven approx. 1800 miles a year and was in great excellent condition I thought I should get another opinion. I took it to David at 60 Minute Tune in Granada Hills, CA who initially mentioned over the phone that some items would be covered with my extended warranty with Acura (something Acura didn't acknowledge) and after doing a diagnostic at his shop he said that I didn't need anything done for at least another year. Not only was his initial estimate considerably cheaper than Acura, but he had an enormous amount of intergrity in advising that we didn't need anything done (yet). It was extremely refreshing to see a business who put the customer before themself and who operates with such honesty! I would definitely recommend getting your car serviced by them and will take the car back in a year for a fresh maintenance evaluation. read more

What I saw was friendly service, knowledgeable, reasonable charge for the service I received. I only went in for an oil change, but they gave me a diagnostic of other things I'll need in the future. And that I need to be aware of. First time customer, I will be going back to 60 minute tune. And the woman in the office (I'm sorry I didn't get her name) was awesome!! read more

Trustworthy and reliable mechanics are extremely hard to find. But Dave and his crew always deliver. I have an older Ford Ranger and was unable to find a replacement rubber elbow that is part of the emissions system. With a looming star smog test, I was nervous it wouldn't pass. But Dave worked tirelessly and was eventually able to find the part...and at a great price to boot! Highly recommend 60-minute tune. read more

Blown Away by the Service! I honestly can't say enough good things about 60 Minute Tune! From the moment I booked the appointment, everything was smooth, professional, and way above expectations. They showed up right on time (which is rare these days), explained everything clearly, and got straight to work. What really impressed me was how fast and efficient the whole process was. My car is running better than ever, and I could immediately feel the difference in performance and smoothness. It's like I'm driving a brand-new vehicle! The technician was incredibly knowledgeable and courteous -- no upselling, no pressure, just honest, quality service at a great price. I've dealt with a lot of auto shops over the years, but this was hands down the best experience I've ever had. If you're on the fence, just do it. 60 Minute Tune is the real deal. I'll definitely be recommending them to all my friends and family -- and they've got a loyal customer for life in me! read more

Took my Honda Civic for an oil change, came out driving better than ever! Price is fair for the work. They filled up my tires and diagnosed some other issues I have for next time, I didn't even ask! Incredibly professional shop, you will not find better. read more

Scheduling an appointment was easy. Office staff were pleasant and had refreshments for waiting customers. During the service, the mechanic located another item needing repair, plus he installed a part that I had brought with me. I'll definitely be returning for the service, and coffee. read more

60 Minute Tune is a great business for anyone who needs reliable and efficient service, especially for BMW owners like me. They understand how important time is, and they truly live up to their name by providing quick yet thorough repairs without cutting corners. When I took my BMW in, they diagnosed the problem fast and explained everything clearly so I knew exactly what was being fixed. Their professionalism, fair pricing, and attention to detail gave me confidence that my car was in the right hands. It's rare to find a shop that combines speed with quality, but 60 Minute Tune makes it happen every time. read more

"Service Engine" light on twice. Stopped in without an appointment and both Dave Jackson and his sister, Julie, came right out and re-set our computer in five minutes AT NO COST!!!! Above and beyond service each time we stop in there. EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!!! read more

We have been taking my family's cars to Dave and his staff for over 30 years. He's honest and reliable. I appreciate that they never try to push extra work that isn't needed, and will give good advice for repairs when they are needed. I'd highly recommend them! read more

The Best Repair shop In the Valley, probably in the entire city!! Friendly , they do a great job, good price point. I have been coming here for 30 years and highly recommend. You dont mind giving them your money. Its Well Spent!! read more

My family and I have been coming to 60 Minute Auto Tune for as long as I can remember. Dave, Julie and the rest of the great people that work there are always so kind, thoughtful and helpful. 60 Minute Auto Tune does the best work in town and it's not even close. They Also have amazingly fair prices, considering that they do top-of-the-line work on all cars and vehicles . I will never go to a different mechanic. Thank you, 60 Minute Auto Tune! read more

I brought my daughter's vehicle in and it was one of the most pleasant experience I've encountered for automotive repairs. I met Dave, Trini and Julie which all showed personality and professionalism. Work and pricing was so good I am now a customer with my vehicle. Again my experience seemed to be even better than before. I am definitely going to become a long time client. It's refreshing to find an honest place that truly takes good care of there customers. read more

Best shop I have been too! Took in my new car in and they had great service. The people at the front office are great customer service.

THE go-to place for anything you need done. My family has been coming here for years. Always up front with what they can and can't do, friendly, and honest prices. Can't speak of them highly enough! read more

I can't say I recommend this shop, as my experience was not a completely honest or enjoyable one. Maybe my experience was just an anomaly, but it shouldn't have happened like this and after this amount of time. There's only so much Yelp allows you to write in a review, so I've included the remaining 2nd part of my review in attached photos. PART 1 I was born and raised here in Granada Hills. I've seen the valley go through lots of changes, good and bad. One thing that's remained the same is that, despite so many of the hurdles life has thrown at people here - from earthquakes to covid - there is still a sense of family and community here. Unfortunately, that seems to be dissipating more and more. Family run, trustworthy businesses are becoming far and few between here. Recently my jeep had overheated right before a business trip. I jumped on Yelp tying to find a reliable mechanic I could tow it to and found the highly rated 60 Minute Tune. I skimmed through and read over the reviews and felt a sense of relief finding what seemed to be like a safe bet for taking my vehicle to. Not only did they have positive reviews, but there were many who boasted about how they were family run and had a sense of being one of those mom and pop shops you could rely on. I called them and let them know it was being dropped off and explained what had happened. I told them I wouldn't be back for a while because of work, and asked if that would be ok. They were very kind I honestly felt hopeful. It's hard to find a good mechanic these days. Weeks later, I received a call and their mechanic Tony said he had run multiple tests and driven it for quite some time without it overheating again. He said the hoses needed to be replaced, but other than that it seemed to be running fine. In my past, I've had experience with vehicles that have had head gaskets and engines that needed repair or replacement. I asked him if he could run the tests again and drive it a little more, just in case. I couldn't afford to get back from my business trip and not have a reliable vehicle for work. Another couple weeks went by and I called back. It was interesting, because each time I would call, there seemed to be a lapse in understanding with where they were at with my vehicle. This time, they said they would call me back once they had a chance to look at it because Tony was out on vacation. Later that evening, I get a call from Dave, the owner. Straight off the bat, he tells me I need a new engine. This was solely based on the tests they run. The quote he gave me was extremely high and without much detail as to what it would entail. A rebuilt? Used? Nothing. Basically gave me a rough quote without any details. I explained that I had already received quotes within my motor pool groups, that's specific to my vehicle, with what the worst case scenario cost would be, and that he was quoting me double that. He said he would look into engine options more and let me know. Another couple weeks go by, which was fine because I was on another job, and it would give them more time to figure things out. I called them back and spoke with David. Again, there seemed to be a lapse with what was going on with my vehicle. He said again that I need a new engine and he would call me back with options. Gave me a call later that day and gave me 2 options. Used: $7900... Rebuilt: $8200 I asked about repairing/replacing the head gaskets and he said they wouldn't do that because it wouldn't be worth it considering the mileage on my engine. I appreciated that honesty, but again, the quotes for the engine options were almost double what it should actually be. I told him I would need a day to figure out what I was going to do. I called back the next day (last week on Thursday) and spoke with Tony. I told him I couldn't do the engine at this time and asked what else the vehicle needed. Also asked him what tests they had run to determine me needing a new engine. He said they ran a block test and another test at the smog shop, and that it was showing there was hydro carbon in the cooling system. He said they had put some sealer tablets in there and that it's no guarantee it won't overheat again, but that the needle hadn't moved from center on the gauge when driving it. I asked him if it would be safe to drive at least for the next few weeks from the valley to Culver City, and he said he honestly couldn't guarantee anything.

So I had scheduled an appointment early in the morning and I woke up late and missed it. I did showed up hoping I could wait for next available time but they turned me away and gave me a 10am appointment instead. I don't really live very closed to it so I wasn't happy at first, but then I went and did my workout to make time. I came back at 10 and boy did they overdo themselves. I mean my car went in, they did the oil change, did a small inspection on the car and then I was done and happy. I got happier when I saw the cost! I mean it will not break your wallet and it is very fair. My car is running smooth and it feels great. They also had complimentary calendars and Agendas for 2020. On the waiting area there is coffee, candy, magazines and bathroom available. I did not have to wait long at all and to be honest if I live close by this would be the only place I would trust my car with (I usually go to the dealer because of work warranty). I recommend them 100% (and don't be late to your appointment lol) read more

We have been taking our cars here for years! It's sometimes a difficult task finding an auto mechanic shop that is trustworthy, knowledgeable and always a pleasure to work with but I assure you this place always far exceeds my expectations. I am always greeted with a smile and truly appreciate how well my cars are taken care of. read more

I cannot say enough great things about 60 minute tune. They have always treated me like family and are so reasonable on prices. The entire staff is amazing. Julie is always so sweet and helpful and makes you want to stay all day. Always great to be treated incredible by the owner David. Definitely recommend this place. You have a customer for life. read more

60 minute tune is truly the best place to get your car serviced. They are busy, but it is because they do right by their customers. You know you can trust them to tell you what your car actually needs vs. what is nice to have. I had a fuel smell coming from my car. I brought it in to have it checked out. They found that the fuel pump was leaking. It required them to remove the car seats (which are ridiculously challenging) and then remove the back seat to get to and determine it was the fuel pump. Even after all of that they told me "I think that is covered by your warranty." These are such solid wonderful people that I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Fantastic service! Master Mechanic and owner Dave really listens to you and with his team, discovers and fixes the problem. So grateful to have found this stellar group of mechanics. read more

I have had my vehicles serviced here for over a decade. The owner Dave goes above and beyond to ensure your vehicle is roadworthy without having to break the piggy bank. Dealerships are notorious for overcharging and taking their time. 60 minute tune offers rides to their customers within a reasonable range. Two fresh pots of coffee are brewed every morning, compliments of Vince (mechanic of 30 plus years). Julie and Trini offer the best customer service, which I find to be rare nowadays. But most importantly... I trust them. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderfull very when my Catalytic blew up had me back on the road for 2 days at a very fair price. A

My parents have been coming here since I was a baby and there's a reason why this place is still around. They do good work at a reasonable price. I've brought all of my cars to them over the years for a variety of repairs and maintenance. They're always quick to repair whatever is wrong on my car and let me know if something is covered under a warranty so I can bring it to the dealer for repair and save some money. Their prices seem to be reasonable and are a lot cheaper than what you would pay at a dealer. The only downside to the place is they're only open two Saturdays a month, so it can sometimes be tough finding a time that works for me to bring my car in given that I work full time during the week. read more

If you're looking for a mechanic, don't look and further...this is the place. Great work and honest. They get the job done quick.

I went to several other places to replace my tires and 60 minute tires charged me half of what the other shops were charging! They gave top knotch service in all ways and I am happy to come back to this family owned business when in need of help read more

Came here for the first time and I felt like I was part of the family already! Spoke with Tony on the phone first and inquire about the services they have. I had problem with the car shaking when I pressed the brake. Came in for them to check it out and find out what the problem is. I was greeted by the lovely lady in the front desk. They have a nice couch to sit in if you want to wait for the service. Dave, the owner is friendly as well. I thought there was a pet store around due to the photos of the dogs and cats all over the wall... Will definitely recommend my family and friends to come here. Also the services are not ridiculously expensive. They are honest and they know what they're doing. Thank you! read more

This will be my go to place for any service needs my vehicle might have in the future . Customer service on point .

Went in early last Monday morning to have my check engine light inspected and told them I needed it repaired to pass SMOG. The lady and gentleman that greeted me were friendly and very helpful. I dropped it off early and by noon they called me back with a diagnosis and a price and a day's turnaround time. The repair was very affordable, done quickly and efficiently and my check engine light was off and I passed SMOG. I highly recommend. read more

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!!! Auto repair service! Everyone at 60 min tune is super nice, friendly & very helpful and it's pet friendly. I went with my dog Wolfy and everyone also greeted him. I'm always very busy but I can always leave my car there and they are very generous to give me a ride home as well as picking me up to get my car unless they know is going to be a quick service. They're always very detailed on telling me what my car needs to get serviced & the best part prices are reasonable. I totally recommend this place. There's no greater feeling than going to a place that you can "trust". read more

The best auto repair service in the valley! Choosing 60 minute Tune have been one of the best choices in my life because I spend lots of hours on the road, so it is crucial that I keep my car sharp and that I have an auto repair shop I can trust. After being over charged by OTHER shops I'm glad I found 60 minute tune. The service is outstanding , reasonable price , and trustworthy they inspect everything. Effective communication through out the entire time the car is in the shop. My car has always being ready on time as they promised. I have gone there for my breaks, change of tires, oil change, you named it! One time someone stole my car keys at the gym and in not time they re-set my car with a different key. The owner Dave is knowledgeable and very attentive, Trini is very nice, and the whole place has good vibes. The team of mechanics are professionals and experienced in their field. After taken my car there, it feels like new. I don't write reviews very often, but I felt compelled to do it because I usually read reviews of other people before making my mind about a service or buying a product. This shop is one of the best kept secret in the Valley and everyone should know about it. I always recommend it to family and friends. Of course I have become a loyal customer. If you need a shop to repair your car, definitely this is the place you should go. Luz read more

Heard great things about this shop, but I'm honestly very dissappointed for the way I was attended here. My car spent about 3 months here and at the end of the day they didn't do anything and left my car in pieces. It was always so difficult to communicate with Dave and he always took weeks to get back to me. I drove my car there and they couldn't even give me the car back in running condition. Dave took off the serpentine belt and said it'd be placed back in the car before it got towed back to me, but he couldn't even do that. Not only that, but a handful of plastics that belonged in the engine bay were left inside my car. read more

Thank you again for amazing service. I needed an oil change, break fluid change and new wiper replacement. I will never take my car anywhere else. Family owned, honest and superior workmanship. I have been using them for many years. I drive in from Lancaster. Thank you!! read more

60 Minute tune is an honest, well priced, professional place for car repair. They fix all types of cars. And they have helped keep my very old car running well for years. The people running the reception desk are pleasant and fun to talk to. They become your friends! The mechanics are also ready to talk and discus repair needs/options. They also have a no interest payment option for those larger repair costs. And with a 14 year old car, I know that has been a great help. read more

Always there for us when we need help with our cars. Reliable mechanics, fair prices, and a family atmosphere. 100% recommend them.

Highly Recommend! We recently started bringing our cars here after Bob closed down the shop at the 76 station down the street. I was worried about starting fresh with a new auto repair shop but 60 Minute Tune has been amazing! They are everything you would want in a mechanic. The staff is very friendly, the pricing is fair, work completed in a timely manner and Tony was very transparent and explained the findings to me so I completely understood what was happening. My family and I will continue to use them. read more

Absolutely the best service. I rolled in with an overheating truck and antifreeze spewing everywhere. Total emergency. Though clearly busy, Tony and his team took me in and eventually determined it was a blown thermostat. They sent for the part, replaced it and I was on the road again and ready to travel back to Colorado, where I came from. The 60 Minute crew - from the front desk to the garage - were awesome, friendly and sympathetic. Tony expertly explained the multiple scenarios of what could be wrong, from a hose leak to a dire head gasket rupture before testing and locating the thermostat issue. These guys are trusted pros! Couldn't recommend them more highly. Thanks guys! read more
