    Back on the road with a swapped out engine
    Johnny M.

    My Prius has been with since 2013 since we drove out of the lot together. Lots of great memories of us driving across the country. Unfortunately at over 230k miles, old Betsy could go no more. I didn't want to give up on her, so I called the guys at Active Auto Motors in North Hollywood.. They gave me a great deal and did an excellent job installing a newer engine. Old Betsy and I are back to being stuck in LA Traffic like old times I recommend these guys for your automotive needs. They are courteous as they explain all the options available to make the best decision for me.

    Super impressed with Active Auto Motors! Took my 02 GMC Sierra 2500 4x4 in for a bottom to top engine rebuild... was obviously super nervous about such a big job but Mifeal made a dude feel pretty good about where his truck was. He kept me up to date along the way and sent me pics to let me know where they were at on the job. Even better, it's now been two weeks and I'll be taking my baby back in to get fresh oil after the build and get anything else checked up on. Mifeal was awesome even after the job was complete and followed up to check on his project even during the holidays. Made me feel like he define you cares. I highly recommend Active Auto Motors to anyone looking for a trusted mechanic!

My wife has been coming here regularly since she first started driving, so it's safe to say we've been customers for over 12 years. One of the panels on the back of my Tesla came undone after driving through a deep puddle and started scraping the ground. I still had to make it from Burbank back to Lake Balboa, so I took a chance. I walked into Dave's, explained the situation, and asked if I could pull in just to get some help popping the panel back into place. Not only did they let me pull right in, they went above and beyond. They didn't just snap it back in -- they took their time, inspected it, replaced some bolts, and even zip-tied it to make sure it was properly secured. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that at all. It was a really pleasant surprise, and I wanted to leave this review to show my appreciation. They didn't charge me anything, even though they easily could have. I was fully ready to pay -- even said I'd pay for an oil change -- but they didn't ask for a thing. I told them lunch was on me and tipped the crew a blue face to say thank you. We get our oil changes here regularly, and they're always kind, efficient, and honest. There's nothing better than supporting a family-owned business that genuinely looks out for people. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy spot, Dave's is it. If you made it this far, come check me out at Rose Garden Barbershop here in Lake Balboa. Bless.

I requested a brake inspection, which was really quick, turned out I had to get my rear brakes changed. They offered to do it the same day for a very reasonable price and less than 3 hours later, my car was ready. Joe has worked on my car for small items like brakes and oil changes all the way up to getting some check engine light issues fixed. Pricing is always great. Brought my car here for a diagnostic thinking the issue was one thing only to find out "no, you don't need that," and saved me a bunch of money I would have likely spent elsewhere. He didn't push me to fix anything that didn't need fixing and pointed out a few things that were old that I might want replaced so I just took all his suggestions because it's a very old car and it needed some extra care. All the five star reviews are well deserved!! Highly recommended.

    I am disappointed with this shop. I went after seeing good reviews.Although, I like the customer…read moreservice from owner and the technician. I went in for transmission fluid change earlier in February in my Toyota Camry 2018. I bought OEM Toyota transmission fluid and asked Joe to help do drain and fill.The drain and fill was completed. After that there was a rough driving issues started. I went back to show my car to joe and he drove the car he told me he don't see any issues. I wanted him to check transmission fluid port on if there is low transmission fluid he didn't agree and told me I might be overthinking. I went to different mechanic in April and he checked. I paid $100 to reopen the port for transmission fluid and what we saw was no fluid came out from the primary port. He added 0.5 quarters left. The issues I have had for rough idle and need to have higher RPM on slope went away completely.According to him you have to keep the car running when you drain the fluid and you need to have it at the right temperature he said the drain and fill wasn't done correctly that's why there was still room for fluid. The viscosity of the fluid makes a difference in how much you can fill and drain. He double checked for leakage and there were no leaks either. When I went to joe and asked about don't you have to keep car warm to see if temperature is right? He said you only do it when there is a leak. I don't think Joe knew enough about mechanics of New car. I wasn't overthinking when I went to ask Joe for help and asked to recheck the transmission fluid. I paid $260 for labor only( $160 to Joe and $100 to another mechanic) for same job. It's really absurd. Overall this could have damaged my transmission. I think for future the customer advise should be taken seriously. I know my car well so I know when it's not acting good. I have been driving it from 10 years.

I arrived and waited about five minutes before being moved to another line, and then moved again to a third line. Even though I was there first, three cars that arrived after me were serviced and left before I did. Peter grinned, smiled, and made it clear he didn't care about the situation. It was obvious he prioritized his friend and gave them special treatment, which was incredibly frustrating. I ended up stuck for over an hour and a half, unable to leave because I was boxed in between cars. On the positive side, the woman who took care of us was amazing very kind and genuinely apologetic. Unfortunately, because of Peter, I will not be returning to this location. You lost my service and will not be recommending this spot. Have a great day with your friends "Bat Mobile" Peter.
