Took my 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport here for service and was really happy with how everything went. The staff (John, Ian, and Ivan) were friendly, knowledgeable, and kept me updated throughout the process. They handled everything smoothly and my SUV is driving great. Solid, trustworthy shop if you have a European car or SUV. 5 stars! read more

Got the car running again. I came to see the guys at European Auto Services because of the great online reviews, the great quote, and how easy it was to schedule an appointment over the phone. Eventually tough I arrived early, they accommodated my needs, got the job done right, quick, and were very patient in explaining everything they've done. I found my new mechanics (even if I hope not to have to see the too often). I have a couple annoying dings on the passenger side doors, and since they do body work aswell, it might be time to have those things fixed. Thanks John and Ian! read more

I brought my 2020 Range Rover Evoque in for service here. I was quoted 2800 dollars by the Land Rover dealership for an oil change along with front and rear brake pads and rotors. The price felt excessive, so I contacted European Auto Service and was quoted 1300 dollars using OEM parts, less than half of the dealership estimate. I scheduled an appointment without realizing the shop was located in Reseda, about a 45 minute drive from my home near Hollywood. After arriving, the drive was immediately worth it. The shop is spotless and exceptionally well organized, easily the cleanest automotive shop I have ever seen. In my experience, attention to the workspace reflects attention to the vehicles, and this shop clearly takes pride in both. I worked with Ivan, who made the entire process seamless from drop off to pickup. Everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and without any pressure. I highly recommend making the drive to European Auto Service for top tier work, honest pricing, and a level of service that is hard to find. Highly recommend! read more

John goes above and beyond to ensure the vehicles undergo the correct diagnostics and resolution. This time was coolant issue in my Range Rover. During service, i requested a repaint quote for my hood. I approved the quote and he conducted that while my car was being serviced. Due to some schedule constraints, car exchange was incredibly effortless and efficient above and beyond normal service. Will always take my cars to European Auto read more

I'm a big car guy and European Auto Service is the only place I trust to service all 4 of my vehicles, which all happen to not be European (3 American, 1 Japanese). John and his team have handled many different types of services for me, from simple oil changes, to major repairs, to paint restoration and even car audio. Any challenge I throw their way they handle excellently! I have been a loyal client for over 6 years and I'm so happy I found them. Thank you John and team! I'll be seeing you soon! Haha read more

I can't say enough great things about European Auto Service. As an Audi owner, finding a shop that's both knowledgeable and trustworthy is incredibly important--and they exceed expectations every time. Their service is consistently outstanding. They're thorough, detail-oriented, and take the time to explain what's going on without ever making you feel pressured. What really stands out is their honesty--you can tell they genuinely care about doing what's right for their customers, not just upselling unnecessary work. And the pricing? So much more reasonable than the dealership, without sacrificing quality in the slightest. It's such a relief to know I can get top-tier service without the inflated costs. If you're looking for a reliable, honest, and highly skilled shop for your European car, this is the place. I wouldn't take my Audi anywhere else. read more

John is exactly the kind of person you want working on your car. When I had issues reaching them - he immediately jumped in to help. When you're in a bind - 100% reach out! read more

When my Defender's warranty expired, I was concerned about having it serviced at an independent dealer. I was relieved after my experience at European Auto Service. John and his team did a brilliant job. The service was performed perfectly, quickly and at a price I was very happy with. Their technical knowledge is also impressive and they always have your back. I have found my new service home to keep my Defender in top condition. read more

I can't say enough good things about this shop. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of outstanding! The level of professionalism, craftsmanship, and knowledge here is rare these days. They installed an M10 engine from a 1980 320i in my 1974 BMW 2002. Then they installed a complete custom built standalone engine management system and custom wiring harness into the car, allowing them to use modern electric fuel injection. They also performed a manual transmission conversion using a rare 5 speed transmission from a late E21. A lot of fabrication works were added to make this work in harmony...They tested and tuned the setup to achieve better than factory levels of drivability, and much higher performance! Every detail was handled with care, precision and obvious expertise. It's clear they understand these cars inside and out and take real pride in their work! If you're looking for a restoration shop that treats your car like their own, look no further! I'm beyond happy with the result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend John and his team to anyone! read more

I had an excellent experience getting a pre‑purchase inspection (PPI) done here, and I can't say enough good things about Ian, the Service Manager. From start to finish, Ian was professional, thorough, and incredibly helpful.  He took the time to walk me through the inspection results in detail, clearly explaining what was in great shape, what to keep an eye on, and what--if anything--might need attention down the road. There was no pressure, no upselling, and no ambiguity--just honest, knowledgeable feedback that I could trust. Thanks to the incredible detailed PPI report and Ian's clear communication, I felt completely confident moving forward with the purchase. The inspection directly helped me secure the deal on a used Audi and gave me peace of mind knowing exactly what I was buying as I was buying the car sight unseen, I needed an honest second opinion and they delivered!  If you're considering a PPI or need a shop you can genuinely trust, I highly recommend working with Ian and this team at European Auto Service. Professional, transparent, and customer‑focused--exactly what you want when making a big purchase decision or service done for your car! Kudos to Ivan at Kivano Inc (small dealer) who recommended me to this shop for the PPI on this used Audi S5 he had in stock. He said they were the best in town for PPI, which shows his confidence in the car he sells! read more

I highly recommend this shop. They did an exceptional job on bringing my 1961 Mercedes sl to better than new condition with exceptional bodywork and a full paint job. They also went through the engine and got it running like a Swiss watch. I couldn't be more pleased. All the work was high quality, the communication was very good and I was always kept advised of the status and situation. Pricing was very competitive and overall a great value. I highly recommend John and his team! read more

Highly recommended! I have a highly temperamental car that likes to give out warning lights like candy. They were able to diagnosed the car's issue so much quicker than the dealership!

These guys can fix things the dealer can't and are honest and knowledgeable. However, they forget to reset the warning lights so be sure you make sure they're off before driving away read more

Sometimes when a business has a lot of five-star reviews it's apparent that many of the reviews aren't authentic. If you read European Auto Service's five-star reviews, you can tell that what customers have written is based on experience. I am going to add a five-star review and it is based on my experience. I have a 2006 BMW 330 CI (it's old, but very loved and has low mileage). I love the car (I said that already, but it's true), but I was trying to decide if putting money into it (rather than buying a new vehicle) continued to make sense. I did a financial breakdown and came to the conclusion -- if I could find a place that would fix the things that needed fixing (and that involves knowledge and care, because the car is almost 20 years old)--I would. But this was the tricky part. Because BMW dealerships don't know a lot about (or show much care) when it comes to older models. And paying for what they do know comes at a ridiculous cost (literally). So I searched the internet for a business that would be able to fix both mechanical and body imperfections. And I discovered European Auto Service and read all of the five-star reviews. And then I had a phone conversation with John, the owner. And that was all it took to get me to drive almost an hour both ways to have my car assessed. I could write a book (I am well on my way with this review) about all of the ways that I have been blown away by the customer service, care, knowledge and thoughtfulness that I was shown by John and his team. They are skilled, kind, professional, they know what they are doing --- but their secret sauce (and it's no secret) is that they love what they do. John and Ivan took the time to explain what my 330 CI needed and also what it didn't really need. Not only did I never felt pressured or overcharged--the opposite was true. I felt I was treated honestly and with respect. And in 2025, when people often don't speak kindly to each other and great customer service is a thing of the past, that goes a very long way. They fixed what needed to be fixed and the car runs and looks better than it has in probably a decade. And I felt the price I paid for that was fair. I know (because John told me) that there will be future issues with my old (very, loved) car. But now I feel good about keeping it, because I feel very good about the place I have to take it. And I suspect, if there comes a time when I should replace it, John will let me know. And I will believe him. read more

I was looking for a place to inspect my newly acquired Jaguar XK (I bought it from out-of-state) and to also have some regular maintenance that I thought was overdue based on the previous owner's records (brake fluid flush and 4-wheel alignment). I decided to give European Auto Service a try due to the stellar reviews I had read on Google and Yelp. Let me tell you: I was impressed by the operation and the service provided. John and his team are very professional and I can see why they are in demand. I very much appreciated how thorough and courteous John was when going through the inspection with me. During inspection, it was determined a power steering fluid flush was also needed (the fluid in the reservoir was orange-brown instead of the ruby red color it should be). John also gave me the option of moving forward with or cancelling the alignment that I had originally requested. The alignment was just outside of Jaguar's specifications and he wanted me to be aware so I didn't pay for something that wasn't necessarily needed. I still asked John and his team to continue with the alignment, but it was that kind of gesture that further cemented the good impression I already had of this establishment. I will definitely be bringing my Jaguar for service in the future. Highly recommended. read more

Good service team, Ian is also great and transparent about the work that need to be done to keep your car running thanks you guys

I've been taking my Jetta in to John and team for the past 3 years and I can say it's been an absolute pleasure, and I highly recommend them! John and his team have done both standard maintenance as well as some really involved work, (he diagnosed a vacuum problem that was effecting the AC within 5 minutes of seeing the car), and the entire time, they've done phenomenal work with precision, at a fair price, and faster than I ever could have expected. Though my car is far from top of the line, they've always treated it as though it was a high end Ferrari. I highly recommend ESA, they're fantastic! read more

Shop is extremely experienced. John is a wonderful owner who knows his stuff and is very good at explaining everything in detail.

I would highly recommend them for any service on any European car. read more

John and his crew took incredible care of my precious 1964 Porsche 356c. I was stuck offsite while waiting for inspection and John personally picked me up from another location nearby. I didn't expect the generous offer, but John didn't hesitate to help me. I knew there were engine issues that needed to be addressed and John gave me an honest evaluation with exceptional pricing. While I waited for the work order to be drawn, I met a lovely couple - longtime customers who arrived to give John and his crew homemade banana bread. They raved about EAS and as we talked about our cars, I knew my 356c was in great hands with John and his crew. John kept me posted on the status of the 356c while it was being fixed and when I picked it up, I got a tour of their fantastic operation. I have a BMW 530e and X3 that now have expired dealership warranties, so you can guarantee I'm bringing those two in next. Thank you John and EAS crew! See you soon. - Dave read more

John and his team are 10/10. I brought my 1970 bmw 2002 here for an oil leak after being recommended by a friend. I've had bad experiences with other shops but from the beginning John's team was the definition of professional. They did an assessment of the car and quoted me a reasonable price. They also recommended additional work that I didn't even realize was needed. Throughout the time the car was there I was given timely updates and kept in the loop as to any issues that came up. We discussed recommended additions and what could wait. John is clearly passionate about cars, and BMW's in particular. He knows so much about them and had several reasonable recommendations that I agreed to do. The pricing was fair, the work was excellent and when I got the car back it drove like new. Never thought I could find an actual reliable and honest shop after my experiences. Can't recommend this place enough. I will be coming back soon for more upgrades. read more

I own an Aston Martin and it is tough to find an independent that not only has the knowledge to work on them but also the software. When I needed to get my clutch replaced John was able to give me a more than reasonable quote (half of the quotes I had received from other indies). Once on the schedule, Ian and the team made drop off a breeze and Manny the mechanic, did a great job with the clutch install as well as pointing out a few items to keep an eye on while the car was in the air. Thank you to the entire team. read more

I could not be happier with my experience here. I brought my parents Fiat here because it was lighting up with fix it warning signs on the dash like it was the Fourth of July. The messsages read: -Parking lights out -Break ligh out -License plate light out -Service engine warning -Drive mode unavailable warning -Service required It was a sheer spectacle to see the series of warning lights that would pop up We made an appointment a few days ahead and when I arrived we were seen right away by the owner John. He did a quick physical check of the car by walking around the car and had one of their technicians to do a quick engine diagnosis to get the interior of the engine checked. Within 15-20 minutes John knew what the issues were. But because there were a few people also waiting to be serviced before me I was updated as soon as the moment opened up after them. John was so knowledgable, quick, concise, and effiicient in delivering his message. The wiring in the rear lights that are commonly known to be faulty in this model was causing all the "lights" warning that are somehow all connected to each other. As far as the engine, it was a sort of vacuum issue with the engine that needed to be looked at. All in all, the car was done within 2 days and just in time to be picked up the day before the national 4th of July holiday. Their service is GREAT too! John was the best at his job that also made the experience more personable. This is now my favorite auto body repair because they are quick, efficient, and matters are resolved within days of bringing it in. I'll be back! read more

Having to deal with car issues is headache enough, it's sometimes worse finding a trustworthy, reliable mechanic to fix issues....unless you find your way to European Auto Service. I experienced some car issues in my Alfa Romeo Stelvio, and didn't know what to do. I know taking it to the dealership the prices would be outrageous but I didn't know anyone that works on my car outside of that, so I started doing my research (aka Yelp) and came across European Auto Service and their 5 star reviews Starting with my first phone call to John, he was professional, and pleasant, he knew exactly what my issue was from me explaining my experience, he identified other issues once I had my car towed to his location, he communicated everything to me clearly and with understanding and provided video of his findings. I picked up my car today and couldn't be more pleased. From what I can tell by the way my car drives, they did a great job and come to find out there is a 2 year/24,000 mile warranty on the work they did!!! I'm really happy I found my new mechanic :) John will definitely be my go to and I've already referred a friend! read more

2016 Range Rover HSE - 111,000 Miles and Still Running Like New Thanks to John I own a 2016 Range Rover HSE with 111,000 miles on it, and it still runs like a brand-new car--thanks entirely to John. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found him through Yelp a few years ago. Before John, I was taking my car to a mechanic who turned out to be completely incompetent. He used low-quality parts from China while charging me for OEM components. The difference since switching to John has been night and day. John earned my trust immediately. He's extremely knowledgeable, honest, and clearly takes pride in his work. His employees are professional, detail-oriented, and treat every vehicle with care. Let's be honest--owning a used Range Rover out of warranty can be intimidating. But with John taking care of it, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. He's the only reason I still enjoy driving this car every day with peace of mind. Highly recommend! read more

John is incredibly knowledgeable about all types of cars and issues and always has an initial thought as to what the problem may be. Majority of the time, he is correct and I appreciate how he always takes time to educate and help you understand what's at issue and also what options you have to address any problems. John is absolutely no bullshit and will tell you what he recommends as necessary repairs vs what may be something that can be addressed down the road. For major repairs in the past, I've requested quotes from competitors but John is consistently more transparent with pricing and parts used and in many cases the most reasonable priced. I've taken my Audi Q5, my wife's Volvo XC60 and now my BMW X3 here and would not trust my car with any other mechanic. Even though I no longer live in the Chatsworth area, I still take my car here when service is needed because John has consistently provided the most trusted service and saved me thousands of dollars over the years. I would highly recommend taking your car here, particularly if you're looking for a mechanic that provides excellent service and honest pricing. read more

My wife's 10-year old Mercedes SUV needed significant repairs. We took it to the Mercedes dealer and got a price that exceeded the value of the car if it were repaired. A friend suggested we try European Auto Service. John and his team checked the car out, concluded that the Mercedes dealer was correct about the necessary repairs, and quoted us a price that was less than 1/2 of what the Mercedes dealer would have charged. The repairs were done well and in a timely manner. John and his team were a pleasure to deal with. European Auto Service is well out of our way, and we will be going there for everything significant from now on. read more

I interviewed a few shops in order to have major service done on my Ferrari. It hadn't run in 10 years. When I spoke to John, he spoke as if he knew everything about the car. Small things that only someone w/intimate knowledge would have. He also knew off the top of his head what the estimate would be. All these things the other shops failed to do on the phone with me. I went to his shop and dropped off the car. Got it back and everything was perfectly done, but it is more than that. When you speak to him, you realize that he has an acumen for and a command of mechanics. He also knows everything going on with his business and the cars being serviced under his roof. His shop does literally EVERYTHING. Minor service, major service, engine rebuilds, electrical diagnostics and repairs, body & paint and more. When I toured his place, I saw paint that exactly matched the other factory painted pieces. I saw Ferraris, Lamborghinis, RR; McClaren; Bentley but also a couple of more commonly seen vehicles.And he is reasonably priced. Whether you have maintenance needs or something more extreme, do yourself a favor and call him and prepare to be impressed. read more

My husband and I are big fans and EAS is now our go to mechanic. I recently purchased my lease return (thanks to John's assessment) and my husband has a vehicle that is hitting the 10 year mark so between the two of us, we've been to EAS a few times now. He actually found EAS because they work on his 10 year old brand of vehicle which is not the most common car make. And my husband wanted to try out someone else after taking his car in to the dealer for the 10 year tune up and then having a hose blow a week later... Said hose was going to cost over $2500 at the dealership and John replaced it for a fraction. When my car came due for the lease return, he told me to bring it to John for an assessment before committing to purchase so i did just that. Last week I had my brakes done and an oil change - I had previously had this service performed at the dealership and it was 2x more costly at the dealership than at EAS. I will soon enough also be getting a dent repaired on my car. someone dinged my car while parked and did not leave a note. I'll post before/afters once I complete that service with EAS since I know i can count on them to perform a good, quality job. read more

EAS's ad says "Call For Quote" . When I called the person who answered the phone said he had "people waiting", didn't want to service my M-Benz make and model, and couldn't take time to answer my questions. Totally rude, impertinent and unprofessional . Judge B. read more

Still going to EAS for any and all my vehicle needs. John is always so kind and helpful in spite of the intense daily schedule and the administrating of all the moving parts (pun intended) to uphold the EAS standard of excellence. Not many mechanics or businesses for that matter understand the significance of relational customer care. The repair shop continues to get busier and busier with clients every time I visit, which is a testimony to the exceptional service that you'll receive at EAS. Wishing you the best John and your support staff at EAS!!! read more
