ABC Auto Electric - Pantera needs work. - Auto Repair Near Me - La Crescenta, California

I was recommended this place by one stop automotive because our car wouldn't start and wouldn't pass the smog test. We called them and they said that they could fix it but we had to wait two weeks. Next, when we called them to tow the car into the shop today, we were informed cars can't be brought in and towed into our shop. So, thanks for wasting my time for another 2 weeks. Appreciated! Next time communicate effectively. And by the way, your car better run if it should be fixed. Also, One stop automotive sucks tooo. They couldnt fix the car either. What professionals!!! LMAO read more

Great service took care of me last second I couldn't be more happy thank you guys so much

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! They are nice people but have no idea how to properly fix a car. They charged an arm and a leg to fix toyota and kept creating more problems. The same problems they claimed that they had fixed still persist today. Again theyre nice people but incompetent when it comes to fixing cars. read more

Amazing Auto shop. Very honest and compassionate ownership. Have been going here for years and they are very fairly priced.

Vic is the best, he's fair and reasonable. It's very difficult to find an mechanic that specializes in electrical work outside of the dealer. He's saved me hundreds of dollars. He fixed my AC on one occasion and and my display cluster on another for a fraction of what the dealer would've charged. I've recommended him to all my friends and family even my regular mechanic who needs referrals. read more

Vic and his staff they are great in every way. Vic is amazing knowledgeable on everything about cars old and new. Kathryn the receptionist is also very knowledgeable. Very humble and honest people. The gentleman that actually do the mechanical work on our cars I don't know his name he's short and very skinny (healthy skinny)he doesn't speak much English but he doesn't need to he touches my heart every time and I leave him a tip every time. Thank you all for the honest work you do. read more

An absolute class act of a shop. Vic, the owner is amazingly helpful, honest and an overall, kind human being. He definitely knows cars and just talking to him about various makes for a few minutes you can definitely tell he has a great level of expertise. His prices are very reasonable compared to what I have found in the area. I am very pleased with this shop and the team. I will be taking all my cars to him going forward. Definitely recommend giving him a try if you're local or not. read more

My family and I go here for all of our car needs. The best, most affordable, and most honest auto shop around!

Vic is literately a miracle worker!! I gaurantee that you will get the best deal on all your auto part needs! He is such a kind, honest man. The service was impeccable!

I came in here Monday morning with an electrical emergency with my truck and trailer. The thing was, I had to drive to Texas that day, and none of the lights worked on the trailer. Despite having a long waiting list that morning, Vic empathized with my dire situation, and helped me right away. It's really amazing knowing that there are such good people in this world. Thank you so much Vic; You really saved the day! read more

After taking my Volvo XC60 to the dealership for my free checkup they stated that I needed to change both my front and rear brakes right away. I've become skeptical of dealership service departments over the years and proceeded to search around on Yelp for an auto shop to get my brakes done. After speaking with numerous shops I decided to go to ABC Auto Electric in the La Crescenta/Northern Glendale area. The owner Vic was very friendly and quoted a very fair price. He was very friendly and communicative. He said that he would need a couple hours and stuck to his time estimate. He called me to tell me that I still had a lot of good life on the rear brakes and that it was too soon to change them. He is honest and looks out for the customer unlike many dealerships. I learned that his shop can do all types of automotive work. Although they are specialists in AC and electric, they are great with all other services as well. I will definitely go back to Vic's shop for all my automotive work and recommend any friends to do the same. read more

Vic was great. He spent time talking through and trouble shooting some issues with my lighting on my Toyota Sequoia on the phone and figured out the most cost efficient way to fix everything when I came in. I couldn't me happier with the service. read more

I am a newer customer of ABC, Vic was referred to me by another very satisfied long-time customer. It is more difficult to find an honest hard working mechanic than just about any other profession. Vic has done high quality work on our car, done right the first time, promptly and with a fair rate. If you have an older car, like I do, his advice and care is invaluable. Thanks, Vic, for all you do! read more

Vic and Katheryn have been taking care of my Chevy Sonic for a while now. I have had a check engine light on for several months. Katheryn spent the time to look up my car and found that I have a warranty for the ignition the system, which is what the check engine light is connected to. This is way beyond what is is expected. Vic is easy to work with and very honest. I would definitely recommend ABC. read more

OK, this is all you need to know Vic is not cheap but don't go anywhere else. He will fix your car and he won't lie to you, cheat you, or charge you for unnecessary work. I know this sounds impossible but it's true. He is an honest mechanic. You won't be disappointed. I've had a lot of work done here and I'm not lying either. read more

Have used Vic and his staff for years, very honest and great quality work. They do a great job with all of my auto service, but they have proven to be great at diagnosing difficult vehicle problems, especially if they are electrical in nature. I would not think of taking my cars anywhere else. Thanks again Vic! read more

What a great mechanic shop. What a great experienced people and friendly environment with fair prices. No way I go anywhere else from now on. Thank you guys. read more

Window switches were not working so I took it to another mechanic and he said the wiring had some issues. So they fixed it. Not too long after that same thing happened. When I took it to ABC Auto Electric, they immediately diagnosed it and fixed it right on the spot and permanently! You were awesome, thank you. read more

I have been going to Vic for many years now. I have always been happy with the service and the charges are always sooooo reasonable. I never left his shop unsatisfied. My car is happy, my pocketbook is happier. Thank you, Vic, for always being there for us. You even fixed our truck's wipers for free. read more

Excellent service, great prices, and auto technicians are as honest as can be..highly recommend for anything auto related as they're not only limited to electrical issues. read more

This auto repair facility was a recommendation from the pastor of my church.Vic the owner is very honest and not someone who will up sell you like a lot of other automobile repair shops.I needed front and back brakes replaced on my truck and also my horn didn't work.Vic went over all the options and both were replaced for $600!!!! read more

Brought my car their to get an estimate on some work and they looked at me like i was the IRS. Is this place legit?

Love this place there very honest and Vick knows what he's doing. It's very rare to find a honest mechanic he won't replace anything that doesn't absolutely need it. I take all my wiring and mechanical needs to him. Just had him wire up a auxiliary fuse box And off road lights. Thanks Vic. read more

Vic fixed my ac right away after an 8 month runaround with the dealer and another independent mechanic.

Vick is probably the most honest mechanic I know. I've been bringing him my 3 cars for a couple of years now whenever I have any problems with them. Honest pricing, honest business. He is a man of his word and doesn't try to add on any additional costs that are not needed. The receptionist is also very friendly and pretty knowledgeable about cars too. read more

We've been going to Vic for years for our older cars and newer cars. He's always spot on with his estimates and if he finds additional work is needed will call right away and explain the options. We would not take out cars anywhere else. read more

I was recommended to Vic by the then pastor of my church. He held Vic in very high esteem. So, I thought, what could go wrong. As it turns out, plenty...to the tune of approximately $13,000.00. I had the ultimate trust for Vic through the majority of our relationship. Somewhere along the line, my 2002 Nissan pickup developed an oil leak. The oil would leak onto the floor of my garage. I lived with this for quite some time. I used to go by Vic's and he would give me free oil. Vic advised me that the oil leak undoubtedly meant I would need a new engine. Since I had implicit trust for Vic, I did not doubt his word. At one point, I decided I would have Vic put a new engine in my Nissan truck. Trying to keep the cost down as much as I possibly could, Vic and I decided that, if I fronted him cash, I would not pay tax on the total. The estimate was $8000.00. I went to the credit union and withdrew the $8000.00. Being completely lazy and naive when it comes to cars, I did not get a second estimate or opinion on my truck. I simply trusted Vic. I turned the truck over to Vic and rented a car, adding another $750.00 to my total outlay. Vic was also going to do a lot of other work on the truck to upgrade. For example, put in a new clutch. As I remember, the job took about 10 days to 2 weeks. All excited, I picked up my truck. The excitement vanished quickly as I had to pay $2,000.00 more on top of the estimate. I drove the truck out onto Foothill Blvd. A mile or so into my inaugural trip with my 'new' engine, the smell of leaking coolant permeated the cab. I stopped at, what is now, O'Reilly Auto Parts at Foothill and Rosemont in La Crescenta. I opened the hood and coolant was leaking everywhere. Knowing nothing about cars, I called a fix it friend of mine who came and helped me figure out what was wrong. A pipe that runs between the dashboard and engine had broken. This pipe, or 'coil' as I found out later, is the heating/air coil. In the process of 'installing' my 'new engine,' the mechanic had broken the pipe. The pipe was jimmied back in place using some caulking type jell that was supposed to keep the pipe in place. As soon as I drove the truck, the pipe broke. I took the truck back to Vic who denied that his mechanic had broken the pipe though he would gladly fix it free of charge. Problem...when fixing the pipe/coil, they didn't do the job correctly, they just jimmied the coil back together with the same jell. Fast forward a few years later, the pipe finally broke again. I had pretty much decided never to go back to Vic, so I bit the bullet and went to Glendale Nissan. The service guy fingered the problem right away, explaining how Vic's place had jimmied the pipe. He said the problem with the job, to do the job right, would cost $1500.00. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I thought, why didn't I go to a dealership long ago. Whatever work they did on the heating/air coil was finished beautifully. When I was settling up with the service guy at GN, I asked if there was any evidence that a new engine had been put in my truck. The tech was questioned, and he said no. I was not upset enough. I emailed Vic, confronting him with the broken heating/air coil and the info that no new engine had been put in my car. I should have kept the emails, but I did not. Vic denied everything, and, since it had been a few years, I could see this was going to go nowhere. I felt Vic should give me half of my money back to make things right. Well, the Vic thing doesn't die. Recently, very unfortunately, I had to spend $3500.00 at Glendale Nissan to keep my truck running well. After I had paid for the job, I asked the service guy if he would take me out to the garage so I could ask the tech a question. The service guy walked me out. I asked the tech, "is there any evidence that I have a new, or even rebuilt engine in my truck?" He said, "no." I was talking to a work colleague who said I should take Vic to small claims court even though a lot of time has passed. As I remember, I asked Vic for the invoices for the work done on my truck. I asked specifically for the 'new' engine invoice. He sent some number, but not the actual invoice itself. Even at my last oil change at Nissan of Van Nuys, I asked a service manager if I could find the invoice for the 'new' engine. He said that the Nissan dealership should have a record of a new engine being purchased. Perhaps, the new engine mystery will be solved in my life after this latest query. I see Vic has many positive reviews. I challenge him to make things right with me. It all started with the broken heating/air coil. How could the only person who had the truck deny that they broke the coil? Then, offer to fix it free of charge? Ludicrous. Did they think no one would see the caulking/jell they used to jimmy the part back together? I'm praying I find a mechanic who can keep my truck running well who is honest. read more

I had my go back to my regular mechanic 5 times for the same problem of the car not starting when hot. The process was to keep replacing parts hoping to solve the problem, so after rewiring under the hood, replacing alternator, starter, battery and various relays, switches, fuses and ignition switch and still not solving the problem so my mechanic says to go find a professional wiring guy. I took it to A.B.C. and they figured out the real problem and had me on the road in a few hours. I wish I had found this company before wasting over $1,000 on unneeded repairs at my regular guys place. read more

Brought a 6 volt generator here for rebuilding/new brushes. I urged it was 6v. Picked it up a day or 2 later and installed it and it was sparking like crazy. They clearly didn't listen and I had to take it back out and take it to another place. read more
