This place saved me money & my car!! So what happened was my car was stuck in reverse while I had it on drive. Tried switching it to all the other gears, but it was still stuck in reverse. So I shut off the car to 'reset' it thinking that'll work. Nope! Now it didn't want to start. My car was dead. I'm thinking, there goes my transmission..I would have to cough up a lot money to get this fixed! We towed my car near Chalard's shop last night, which was less than 10mins away & they were already closed. (That tow cost me $100!!!) The next morning, my boyfriend went to the shop briefly told him about the situation and Mr. Chalard just told him to give him the keys, asked where my car was parked, and that he will call him when my car was ready. Mind you, Mr. Chalard was on the phone while my boyfriend was explaining to him where my car was parked and also said that he was busy that day and will try to fit my car in his schedule. Anyway, my boyfriend got a call from the shop about a couple hours later and told him that my car would be ready in an hour and would only cost my $50 for the repair. Yes, only $50!! I was so happy when I heard the news. We picked up my car after I got off from work and it was running smooth. I would highly recommend him to anyone! He is straight to the point! But if you're the type that wants to talk about your day with him... then perhaps you should go somewhere else. Mr. Chalard's seriously saved me TIME & MONEY! read more

Chalard truly is the bomb! I can't say enough good things about him so I'm letting the stars speak for this review. I just wish he wasn't in Burbank (or at least I wish I had a friend that could pick me up and drop me off when my car would be serviced there). read more

I went there with my friend and the guy was so nice he told us exactly what we needed to do to fix his car. This saved my friend a couple of hundred dollars and the repair took 5 minutes. It's rare to see a mechanic so cool and helpful. read more

I took my Audi to the Future service department instead of taking it to the Audi service department and was much more pleased with the service Future provided. Rafo made sure his team repaired my car as soon as possible and had me driving it out the same day I brought it in.  They give you the best deals and are very straight up when it comes to discussing costs and the car problems. It was a pleasure working with Rafo and I will definitely return and recommend Future service to all my friends and family. 5+ stars read more

Chalard is the most stand up auto repair guy I've ever had the pleasure of personally taking my automobiles to. This man is always be upfront and honest. If there isn't a problem, he won't "pretend" fix your car and charge you. If he can't fix it, he won't charge you. Trust is a five letter word. Trust should be this man's middle name. I just bought another new 'used' car recently. Its time to introduce Chalard to my new family member, the Acura TL. read more

My car had been overheating this past weekend and with a set business trip down to San Diego, I had to quickly find a shop! I decided to bring it to the nearest and highest rated place in my area, so when I showed up to Chalard's, I literally thought I could not be at the same location that so many of our fellow yelpers had been so optimistic and praiseworthy about. The shop seemed disorganized, unkempt, and shady. I met Chalard, left my car, and prayed that I would not come back to a $5000 bill, both in regards to my wariness of the shop as well as my actual engine issues. less than two hours later, I get a call from Chalard telling me that the problems were extremely minor and told me that everything had been fixed. Once I arrived, Chalard pointed out to me the replacements he made and the condition of my car. When I asked him how my car was doing overall, if he had suspected anything else that could be improved or fixed, he replied with, "it runs very well, I would never let anyone leave here if their car was not in the right condition to drive. Chalard won't meet greet you with a smile and ask you how your family is, he won't show up to work in a suit, and most certainly: he won't lie to you. He is a man of few words but he is an honest and extremely direct man, a characteristic that is extremely rare to find these days, ESPECIALLY in the auto mechanic industry. Chalard - if you are reading this, thank you for your honesty and integrity. I won't be going anywhere else! read more

Yay Chalard's! I dropped my baby for what I thought was a starter problem and I was quickly diagnosed with a low charged battery!!! So they charged me up, and I got an oil change (I had gone past my regular scheduled maintenance) and brake rotor change and scrubbing too, which I had also needed really bad!!! Great work and reasonably priced!!! read more

Good service and good costumer service I recommend 100% nice location responsabilidad

These guys got me right in, gave me a cold water, and gave a great deal on an AC recharge. I don't live in Burbank but will definitely be back. read more

Such a great experience all the way around. Very professional and went out of their way to help me. Truly reputable guys and very trustworthy!! read more

My AC starting going, I took it to a place called Firestone Auto Repair, in San Fernando, They diagnosed it and said my condenser, compressor and valves all had to be replaced, to a tune of $1,800.00 !!!!! (why did I take it to Firestone they're 1 block from my work) Took it to Chalard, I was expecting a lesser amount BUT to tell me that it was just a leaky valve!!! I spent less than 100 bucks!! Best Honest mechanic I've ever come across. THANK YOU CHALARD!!! read more

I forgot to write this review back when I got my car serviced earlier this year. They did a top notch job. These guys do great, fair priced business and will take good care of your vehicle. I will definitely come back in the future(pun intended) for service when I need it. Drop your car off here and really be worry free. If you're looking for a reliable professional auto service, this is the place. read more

I use their services every time,they work fast and with high quality,it's really PROFESSIONAL GUYS there..your cars can be trusted with them, and you can rest assured,your cars will be in safe hands read more

Came here to fix my girlfriends brakes which were pretty much shot. Although he didn't take walk-ins, he was kind enough to fit us in as we did not live in the area, despite having a full schedule. Fixed the rotors, put on new brake pads and gave us a very reasonable price for what was done. So glad to have my girlfriend safe and worry-free that her brakes will fail at any moment! read more

They do an amazing job and have outstanding customer service. They always fix my auto problems at the best rate and always on time. Keep up the good work! read more

Sadly the owner sold right after he worked on my car. I will severely miss him. Updating so people don't look for him. However I found another great shop it took me a long time. See Arts. read more

I had a great experience here the mechanics took care of my car and replaced the battery. I will definitely be coming back here! The experience here was stress free especially during this whole COVID pandemic. Thank you! read more

Very attentive and friendly staff, professionals in their field, flexible solutions to keep customers satisfied. in the future I will only use this service and will not be ashamed to recommend it to my friends. read more

Bought my last 3 cars from Future Auto Sales and send it in for service at their shop, Future Auto Service, every few months. Love the shop! Never had a problem with the service or the employees. They are very friendly and professional. Car troubles are always a headache, but when finding the right service, look no more!! Future Auto Service has my complete trust and I will forever be a loyal customer. read more

Took my BMW in expecting a big repair bill. They found it was a minor fix. Saved me money and treated me with respect. Will be back for future service. Thanks so much Future! read more

I love the staff here! They are super nice and efficient. They won't intentionally charge you something you don't need, they only tell you truth. read more

A wonderful expert Rafeal is great Peter get the job done whenever I need them they are their with fair prices. A wonderful repair shop for cars of all type!! read more

I have been coming to this place for several years. It recently had a make over and the whole place is now immaculate. I had an oil change and cabin filter change. They were able to take me in same day and got the job done quickly. I trust these guys. I learned of them through word of mouth. They were highly recommended and my friends did not steer me wrong. I am so glad I found them and have myself recommended them to others. read more

This place is the best!! I looked it up because it was down the street from my home. I called ahead and they were very courteous and told me exactly what was going to happen with the service I asked for. The shop is very clean and the waiting area was nice and cool. I Will definitely be coming back here! read more

My guys came through . Even replaced the battery on my maserati FOR free . I love the location and the ambience in the waiting areas.

I can't say enough about the team at Future Auto. I drive a 2012 Mercedes CLS that I have traditionally taken to the dealer for regular maintenance and repairs. Last year the check engine light came on and Mercedes quoted me several thousand dollars to replace the turbo. I took it to Future Auto and they did the repair for less than half of the dealers price and spent time to insure they addressed the cause of the turbo failure, not just the result. This year when the check engine light came on again I took it straight to Future Auto. They diagnosed the issue, ordered the part and repaired the car quickly, again at a very reasonable price. I will be taking my car, as well as my husband's car,to them for all our maintenance needs moving forward. read more

Crew was clear and helpful in explaining what was being done to my car. Great job was done

I hate going to mechanics because I always feel like they are all trying to steal my money. Not these guys! They are honest, fast, and friendly. I've even taken my car in thinking it will be hundreds of dollars and it turns out to be a $5 part and they didn't even charge me labor. Do yourself a favor and take your car here! read more

Aps sensor behind my wheel was broken off which threw multiple lights on the dash but the guys at future auto service quickly diagnosed the issue and got the part on order and it was done by the next morning. Also great price on oil changes/regular maintenance vs a dealership. If your car doesn't still have free service from its dealership save yourself the hassle and go to future. Might as well get a good experience and honest service if you're gonna pay for it right? (dealerships suck). Definitely will be back in the "future" read more

After going to a well-known chain auto repair shop and being given an astronomical repair estimate, I was referred to Chalard's. I decided some of the positive reviews on Yelp had to be true, so I took a chance and dropped my car off for repair. I was amazed when the phone rang 3 hours later and the repair work was finished. Chalard replaced my 2 front axles for less than he quoted me, adjusted my clutch for free and told me I didn't need new brakes yet. That well-known chair repair shop told me I needed to replace 2 sets of brake pads, something I doubted at the time and Chalard proved was unnecessary. This man is as honest as they come and I trust him with all the repair work on my car. By being honest and fair, he all but assures the public will be knocking on his door and he will always be busy. It's hard to find honest people in the auto repair industry. When you do, you want to tell everyone you know. My brother will be taking his SUV in for work next week. Chalard's is as good as it gets. read more

Friendly, quick and helpful service. Carlos scheduled me in right away. They addressed the issues with my Explorer quickly on a Saturday. Took the time to explain the problems with my warning lights in depth. He demonstrated a fix how to prevent one issue giving me the choice if I wanted to spend the money now for the repair. One downside was they were not able to address the problem with the faulty tire sensor since they don't have the machine required (less 1 star) but they checked the tires and gave me a recommendation where I could take it. Very helpful giving me estimated costs so I know what to expect with them or elsewhere. With diagnosis and checks the cost was very reasonable! read more

Don't waste time searching for the best shop, you got it right here at Future Auto Service , Carlos and Rafo we're great. My car's rear tire was damaged, they placed an order by next morning it arrived, prices are the best, very, reasonable, they did a great job swapping it, it was done in perfect timing , very professional great customer service, would highly recommend! read more

He's a real old school small town mechanic who won't dick you over. He cares about the cars and less about scamming you.

This isn't the same shop that has all of these reviews. It used to be Chalard's auto repair run by a nice smart honest man. He sold the business and now there is new management. They are not Chalard's price, quality and honesty. Any reviews before April 2016 are for a completely different shop. Good luck finding a good mechanic. Yelp should reset the reviews since "Future Auto Repair" is not "Chalard's Auto Repair" I hope that helps! read more

Wow! How rude. I tried calling to see how much it would cost to get my freon filled. And, he was super dodgey. "I don't know," he kept repeating. "I don't know what's wrong with your car." I asked, can you at least give me a price for a diagnosis or freon per pound. *click* The man just hung up on me. read more

So here I go, Chalards auto repair is ok. Cheap yes, fix right the first time "sometimes". This is a good place to go if you are broke. The mechanics here are more like "Shady tree mechanics" replace parts until it works. I use to take all my cars to him but its really hard when you have to take it back 2-3 times to get it right. read more

I am so disappointed with the new ownership. I miss Chalard. Took my car in on Friday before I went out of town for the weekend. They called me to let me the cost of repairs and I approved it. Come to find out my car was still not ready when I got back to town on Tuesday. Had to re-approve repairs (miscommunication?) and waited all day for them to finish before I could pick up. Almost $300 later my check engine light came on the very next day, car was still running poorly, sounds like it's going to break down any minute and now has the most horrible exhaust smell/smoke that I never experienced before having these guys work on my Durango. If anything they've made the problems worse! I never even called to complain because I would never let them touch my car again. Sorry guys, but you really dropped the ball with my car :/ read more

I'm reluctant to write this review because Chalard is the best kept secret in auto repair - and I don't want all of you crowding his lot! He's fast, cheap and honest - that's right, HONEST. Hands-down the best mechanic in LA. read more

My initial encounter with the new ownership was sketchy to say the least. We noticed the place had been cleaned up spotless and the "Chalard's" signage was removed. I swing back around and the new guy who I am assuming was the new owner told me that Chalard was on vacation and "he might be back next week, maybe the week after; but he still works here." Long story short, I was finally able to pry the truth out of him that Chalard had sold the business. He said we can still bring our cars there and that he would take care of us. Maybe it's an honest repair shop, but all I know is he tried to mislead me from the start. The new business will be called "Future Auto Service." He initially said "Future Auto Sales", but took it back. As I was driving a way, I noticed a car on the lot with a dealer ad license plate which said Future Auto. Probably runs two businesses. read more

Not very outgoing guy, but a great mechanic at a fair price. Knows what he's doing.
