Had a great experience here with Will, gave me a great deal for my 2022 C43 AMG brake pad replacement and kept me up to date. Staff was very friendly and kept me up to date with everything. Will definitely be back!

I went to do service for my truck on December 2022 and i was there 10 Minutes before they open lol and i was second on line and I requested oil change an transmission oil change Francisco the manager suggested the service the one they change all the oil for transmission and gaskets so i was there from 7:50 am and waiting and waiting around 11 am he tells me the transmission oil they don't have any and they will deliver any time so i went to have coffee came back 45 minutes after and waiting till 1 pm he tells me my truck is ready and he give me a 40 discount for waiting so was so angry and after that discount i was a little better and I left the place I noticed my truck on all stops make a weird noise and i was thinking maybe for the new oils so did pay any attention that was every day and on Monday January 27 i was going to work and waiting for the lights and the lights turn green so I press the gas and my truck did move and i move 5 miles per hour i have to move to right side of the street and try to avoid blocking traffic and for 30 minutes till i get a place to park and wait for 30 minutes after that it work normal and get to work next day i took my truck to Toyota dealer on mission hills and explained my situation and they checked everything and did find anything and they find out the truck have new transmission gaskets looks new and i tell them i have a service to transmission weeks ago and they check the oil and noticed the oil was really low they add 2-1/2 quarter low and missing bolts that was the reason my truck did move was low on oil and try to contact the owner because they tell me this location is a franchise and is taking for ever this guy was so angry that day and I don't think that's my problem and i have to deal whit this i will be on accident or my truck will be damaged thanks to him i star going to this location since 1999 24 years and I recommend this to my friends and family members now i just want they to be responsible I will never go back to this location on Sherman way and balboa on Van Nuys Ca

Joe is honest, does quality work, communicates well, and saved me so much money. I was having…read moreproblems with my 2006 Lexus GS300 and long story short...simply amazing service! 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.

It's nice to find a Honest Auto Repair shop and these guys are. They listen to my complaints and…read moregave me a honest estimate to diagnose the issue and kept me informed on how the repairs on the car were going. They were able to repair my car in a timely manner and have been happy with the repairs. Their shop is really clean and they took care of my car and gave it back to me cleaner than I brought it to them. Their prices are very competitive and a good value.

I'm updating this review because the business response is misleading…read more I have a voicemail from Steve clearly stating that they did not want to get involved with my vehicle because another shop had already worked on it and he did not want me to possibly "get upset at them too." That was the exact reasoning given. This was not about warranty. It was not about saving me money. I was fully prepared to pay for an inspection or any necessary correction. I was simply asking for a professional second opinion. If a shop refuses work because they're concerned a customer might "get upset," that raises serious questions about confidence in their own work. A reputable shop stands behind its skills and diagnoses issues regardless of who previously touched the vehicle. Changing the explanation publicly after the fact does not reflect well. I stand by what I said. I had a very disappointing experience at Automotive Instincts in Northridge. I called and spoke with Steve about looking at my car after another shop had worked on it, and he basically told me they didn't want to touch it because another shop already did the work. His reasoning was that he didn't want me to "get upset at them too." That makes absolutely no sense. As a customer, I'm simply looking for a professional second opinion or proper correction if something wasn't done right. Refusing to even inspect the vehicle just because another shop previously worked on it feels unprofessional and dismissive. Cars get worked on by multiple shops all the time -- that's normal. Turning someone away out of fear of a bad review instead of standing behind your own skills says a lot. Very disappointing customer service. I expected more professionalism and confidence from a shop with such high ratings.
