Glenn's has been my trusted go-to auto repair shop for a few years now, and the team has never been anything other than amazing. Led by Lorenzo, the friendly and honest mechanics always listen carefully to my description of the issue at hand, use up-to-date diagnostic tools, and figure things out pretty quickly. They charge reasonable rates, never looking for an unnecessary upsell, and they get the work done fast. I've even had them diagnose things and send me away, saying it's a warranty issue that should be free at the dealer. My visit this week was for something silly: a noise being made by a broken "belly panel" underneath the car. A simple fix with no real mechanical components (a good thing), but Lorenzo felt bad because it was a dealer-only part that was pricier than it should have been. Not his fault, and I know they'll take care of me on another fix down the road when they have more control. That said, once the part was in, the car was fixed in about an hour. Good service. Good people. Don't hesitate to bring them your car when that inevitable time comes around. They'll take good care of you. read more

I was selling my dads car that had not been driven much in 10 years. The buyer chose Glenn's ton have it looked at. He had advised the buyer that it probably would need tires, all fluids, hoses and belts due to its age. When he saw the car he was so honest and said it needed very little due to its condition. They are now my mechanic. Honest, fair and reasonable prices for their work. read more

Great shop! Lorenzo and Kevin are honest and reliable. I've brought several cars to them for various fixes and services and have always been highly satisfied. Great service, fair prices and good guys to deal with. Wouldn't hesitate going to them for any and all needs. A+ read more

Everything was great they were fast and did a great job!! Also they were very responsive and helpful

Shout out to Lorenzo, Pepe and Kevin at Glenn's Auto Center in Tarzana. My wife and I were smelling burning and beginning to see some smoke from under the hood while literally in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 101. Visiting family in SoCal, having driven from Arkansas. Lucky for us, the next exit was Reseda Blvd in Tarzana. Limped into Glenn's where Lorenzo immediately put us in a bay and started the diagnostics process. Had a locked brake caliper and boiling brake fluid damaging the brake lines. If this had happened the next day, we truly could have been on a mountain switchback in Sequoia. We had to wait a bit for a part, but Lorenzo and crew took great care of us, tested everything out, stayed late on a Friday to get us back on the road, and all at a reasonable price. They were truly our angels in Los Angeles. read more

Great mechanics, took our 97 Toyota in for them to look at and was told all it needed was a radiator and water pump... another place tried to tell me it was a head gasket and would cost 2400 to fix, Car is running great price was fair and done quickly. My new mechanic!! read more

Great customer service, fair prices. I really appreciate their honesty and integrity. Each time I buy a new vehicle I am constantly bringing it to the dealer for issues and that experience has taught me how valuable a great mechanic is. The dealer experience is I bring it in with 1 complaint and let them do the required service, pay 2-4x what I think the service is worth for the "convenience" of doing everything all at once, leave with my vehicle and have to bring it back to have them fix the 3 things that are newly wrong with my vehicle to have them say "none of that is related to what we did". I have never had any new issues after bringing my vehicle to Glenn's, they do what is supposed to be done, right and if there is anything else that is required/recommended I feel they respectfully suggest it with the appropriate urgency so I feel in control of my decision, never any buyers remorse here. I highly recommend this shop and if you want your vehicle to take care of you, let them take care of you and your vehicle. read more

I had a tail light out. My regular mechanic was closed on the day after Thanksgiving. I found Glenn's Auto by chance and Lorenzo was so friendly and efficient! I was out of there in 7 min. I have found my new favorite mechanics! read more

Lorenzo looked at our vehicle before we purchased it off Craigslist. I'm so glad we went to him. He found some issues with the car, and we were able to negotiate a lower buying cost so we can fix the issues. He was very honest and thorough. A true pleasure to work with . I don't like auto shops, but Lorenzo made the experience very smooth. read more

DIANE LOPEZ ! I took my car to fix and service I had a great experience thank you Lorenzo love it price is also responsible!

Highly recommend Lorenzo at Glenn's Auto. Always up front and recommends what must be done and what should be done. Has many long time repeat customers and I now consider myself one. read more

I've been coming here for over 13 years now and I can't imagine going anywhere else Lorenzo and his crew are so amazing and such great service. It honestly feels like family . read more

I've been going to Glenn's auto center for many years and I wholeheartedly recommend his shop for any and all auto repair needs. Lorenzo is the greatest. He is very professional and knowledgeable. read more

100/100. Cannot recommend enough! Lorenzo is kind, funny, honest, and knows what he is doing. At a separate mechanic, I was quoted $3500 yesterday to replace the rack and pinion on my car. This felt really high and I wanted a second opinion, so I called Lorenzo who in 30 seconds on the phone was diagnosing my car (he was right) and had me come in, as the previous mechanic's explanation didn't sit right with him either. Dropped off at 8:30am, got it back good as new at 5:00pm. Total price? $600. A staggering $2900 less than the first mechanic's price. Turns out I didn't need the whole rack and pinion assembly replaced, just the tie rod ends. Lorenzo figured this out immediately and got the necessary parts. So refreshing to have an honest and high quality mechanic with a great attitude. I will absolutely be coming here for any future car needs. Seriously, you don't have to look anywhere else. Just call Lorenzo and let him do his craft. You will not be disappointed. read more

Lorenzo and the crew were great!!! Drove in for an oil change. They were ready to do it on the spot,It took maybe 25 minutes. They very friendly and professional and the price was great. I compared a lot of shops before coming here and Glenn's auto Center is definitely the spot. Would definitely take my car to Lorenzo again. read more

Nowadays it is so difficult to find an honest mechanic that doesn't rip you off or perform "Mickey mouse" jobs on your vehicle. I started coming here a few years ago and noticed that these mechanics actually care about their customers, but above all the work they perform on the vehicles is professional and great quality. Lorenzo is the manager here and he is honest and straightforward with you. He doesn't do things that aren't necessary to make the extra buck. He is honest and very knowledgeable when it comes to automotive repair. His assistant Pepe is extremely knowledgeable as well and great to work with. Together they're hands on and super friendly. I recommend you guys try it out for yourself. Bring your vehicles and see the quality work. They're opened Monday thru Saturday's and closed Sundays. Call in advance 1-818-343-8667 to make sure they're not busy because they have a big clientele and it can get very busy. read more

Lorenzo always finds the most cost-effective solution to my car problems. If I ever move, I wish I could take him with me.

Lorenzo and his team are the best! I've been going here for years and they are honest and get the job done.

Been going to them for years. Honest, professional, fair. Excellent mechanics and service.

I was referred to Glens automotive from a friend. Lorenzo is the best! The guys at Glens are professional and do clean work. I know because I was a mechanic many years ago. Lorenzo is very fair on his labor, and they always take good care of me and my company vehicles. Thanks guys! Todd read more

Im so dissatisfied and very hurt to be honest. I trust Glen auto to work on my truck and it has not run right since I've got it home. I had them work on my 86 wagoner. They replaced some gas lines and I got a little suspension work which was fine. Then it came to the carburetor 1st he had my truck there for 3 days before telling me they couldn't work on the carburetor. Then they told me to get a new carburetor and they can install it. Apparently they did not know to properly do that either and the truck is a misfiring and won't even start in the mornings.. I took it back several times and he claimed to be working on it but it was just sitting in the same spot each time. I went back today to let him know I desperately need him to take care of the truck for me he informed me that he has a guy that works on carburetors and I can get it done at my cost. He told me that they don't do carburetors so they can't fix the issue, but why would they work on my carburetor if he new he couldn't do the job is my question. Now my truck is sitting getting tickets and windows being busted out because I can't move it. Glenn gladly took my money during the pandemic when I wasn't working he knew that's all I had to work on my truck to try to get it running and this is how he left me. read more

Had to bring my car here after my cat. convertor was stolen and my alternator died. GREAT work by Lorenzo and his team! Back up and running fast and at a great price! Highly recommend anyone to take their car here. It's really hard to find an honest mechanic and shop these days but this place is straight! Go give them a try! You won't regret it. read more

I purchased a salvage, that actually went really well and I got a great deal, amazing. However... My car was a mess after ANOTHER (not Glenn's guys) mechanic spent three months on it and took a body repair to a whole other level of messed up and disrepair. I took it into Glenn's and they are doing a great job, almost damn magical, of repairing a very botched passenger-side dent that spans almost the entire body. This would have been an easy repair except for the other mechanic and the guys here are taking a messed up situation that started great, into a great situation again, thanks. read more

Amazing is the only word the can be used Price integrity and amazing costumer service!! Thank you Lorenzo read more

Hard to find an honest repair shop these days. This shop is top notch and really looks out for their clients. Instead of remove and replace they will look to see if they can replace the items that really need to be fixed. Great service great Value. If you are looking for trusted mechanics , this is the place. read more

Horrible service made me wait for a while when I got to the shop Didn't even say good morning to me I noticed the shop was very dirty I tried to ask him about putting original parts on my car he wasn't too happy with that because they wanna make money off after market parts which I did not want to put aftermarket so decided to go to another shop where they will give me great customer service on like this shop I definitely recommend other mechanic shops on like this one don't be disappointed like I was read more

As I write this I'm waiting for my car because the brakes have been making a grinding noise - I know I'm in good hands. Highly recommend this business. read more

I have been coming here for about 10 years. Lorenzo is a great mechanic! He goes above and beyond to help his customers. He is very honest which is important when getting work done on your car. LADIES: you can go by yourself and won't get scammed! I have sent many customers his way and they have become permanent clients. Glen is also amazing but he works at the other location. I definitely recommend this mechanic. Call before going to make an appointment because sometimes it's packed. read more

My alternator was dead! My friend recommended this shop as he and his family had been working with Lorenzo for years. I towed my car in and Lorenzo went right to work and got it running great. I will be bringing my car back to him for future maintenance and repair. Very honest with competitive pricing. read more

I wouldn't go out of my way to write a review unless it was completely worth it. Do yourself a favor and bring your car here. Glenn makes money by being loyal to his customers customers, NOT by ripping them off like the rest of the mechanics. This is an honest, hard working family man who deserves your business! read more

I know that many people have wrote this before but in all honesty this is a great mechanic at a fair price and never tries to upsell you on things that you don't need. He is very honest and gives you great pricing. It's so hard to find honest people nowadays and this spot does not have that issue. Highly recommended. read more

I have had the worst experience with a previous auto shop on a smog. They charged me parts, labor, smog and it still didn't pass. They said they will fix it. I had it smoged again and it still failed. I went back and demanded I get a refund on everything but the parts (Since they were in my vehicle). I got a full refund on everything reluctantly by the owner and I never looked back. The a different smog shop that I went to to try to get the smog to pass, recommended Glenn's because they were open still and they could look at it. So I did. He said leave it here for a few hours and well work on it. So I left and came back. Sure enough, it was a small hose that connects to the gas cap was cut. That's all that was wrong!! He said "I fixed it, and I got it smoged for you in the shop next door, no charge and it passed." OMG! He paid for my smog!! I didn't know what to say. On a different occasion: I purchased a new car and went to get a routine oil change at my local oil place. They discovered oil in the radiator and water in the engine block. They said it could be a small leak in the oil cooler or a head gasket change. I was like "Holy S$^t!" A head gasket change could cost up to $1000 bucks to tear into the engine, only to replace a $10 gasket. I was freakin out. I didn't have that kind of money to drop. I went to Glenn's and asked him what he would charge. He said, lets look at it first. He looked and said yeah, it could be one of those two things. He looked up my car to see if it had an oil cooler and it does. He said, "Put some head gasket sealer in the radiator and drive it around nice and good. It's not that bad." I was still not convince. Then he showed me a car that had the same problem and it... was.... really... BAD!! So I did as he suggested and the problem went away!! He could have told me it was the head gasket and try to get me to get the repair but he didn't. He gave me a free examination of the issue, free advise, fixed my issue, and made no money from me! I don't care what you say, I trustworthy mechanic is rare and hard to come by. I won't go anywhere else. read more

Mr. Lorenzo is the best!!! He does a great job, he is honest and thoughtful. How many mechanics can u say are those qualities? So many mechanics have tried to rip me off , just because they see a blonde girl, they assume i am a complete idiot who knows nothing about cars. But i never get ripped out,because I never fall for it without doing my research. So thank you Mr. Lorenzo! read more

Don't go here. Went to get my window fixed. The manager seemed like a nice guy, told me that the part I need was on back order, and that it would take 10 days. Since it wasn't urgent, I decided to wait. Well, the next day the manager calls me up and says, "Hey! We got your part!" so I make an appointment to bring my car in there, and, since it would take half a day to fix the issue, I took the day off of work. Well.... I show up to Glenn's Auto Center at 8AM and the manager tells me, "The parts still on back order..." Then why did you say you had it two days ago? Why did you not call me last night, when I could still call in to work and say I would be in the next day? He didn't have answers for these questions and was entirely way too cavalier with his wasting of my time for me to ever want to do business at that place again. Do not go here. They will waste your time. read more

Great service! Good alternative to overpriced dealer service. I found Lorenzo by chance when my BMW needed emergency repair. He's a great guy, very friendly and polite, and speaks good English. He will not over0charge you like most other places do. I highly recommend coming here. read more
