Herbie's Autohaus to the rescue! After leaving my 1974 VW Super Beetle in a garage for 11 years, it desperately needed help. With 4 flat tires and rusted brake rotors the car couldn't be moved, so I needed to find a mobile mechanic that could come to me. After reading all the great Yelp reviews for Herbie's Autohaus, I decided to give them a call. Immediately I was glad I did, as Arman showed up the next day with his van full of tools and his decades of auto mechanic experience. Arman methodically went through every part of my car replacing things that needed replacing (battery, corroded battery cables, leaking fuel pump, leaking brake cylinder) and at same time not replacing things that I was sure needed replacing (such as the 4 flat tires that I feared were dry rotted and the brake pads which had become rusted shut after 11 years of sitting, but Arman assured me they were all okay...and it turns out Arman was right they are completely okay saving me tons of money). I'm stunned that after 11 years of sitting untouched, my beloved Beetle is once again driving all over Los Angeles thanks to Arman and his compassionate car care! So if you're looking for a good, honest, experienced auto mechanic, call Arman at Herbie's Autohaus and let him come to you! And like me, you'll be glad you did! read more

Herbie's Autohaus - My 1974 VW Bus by the lake after a tuneup with Herbie's Autohaus! - Auto Repair Near Me

Anytime I walk into an auto shop, I can immediately feel my sense of womanhood bombed right back to the 1950s. I know the mechanic is going to think I'm an idiot who knows nothing about cars, driving, or voting. Unfortunately, we all have to go to the mechanic now and then so it's impossible to avoid. Arman is not like this at all. He is a wonderful mechanic with a great personality -- friendly, honest, and is never acts annoyed when you ask him to explain something. I actually feel like he WANTS me to want to take better care of my car. He helps me understand the issue, what I should fix right away and what I can put off for a little longer. Each time I leave, I feel like I've learned something. He's respectful of a budget and doesn't compromise the care of my vehicle because of it. I very highly recommend Herbie's Autohaus. You can completely trust Arman with your vehicle and feel good about supporting a local business! read more

I can not believethat I forgot to write a review for this establishment. I have been going to Herbie's Autohaus for almost 5 years. They have worked on my wife's Mercedes Benz (E-350 when she had a fender bender on the freeway and they have worked on my older cars as well from mechanical to body work; they do it all!. It is after this last incident, that I just had to share it with Yelpers. I do live in Burbank and do drive through Eagle Rock to go to work every day. Last week, I had a minor accident when I rear ended the driver in front of me who made a sudden stop in the middle of the intersection. Being so aggravated and stressed out, after the incident I decided to call Herbie's to ask for a tow truck to come and get my car, since I was only few blocks away. My front bumper was barely hanging on. Needless to say, Arman sent a tow truck to the location and we drove to Herbie's. To make a long story short, I ended up at work at around 10:30am. The guys at Herbie's drove me to Hertz (few blocks away) where I rented a vehicle, afterwards Arman told me that he would take care of everything else. I honestly talked to my insurance for 10 min, after which they dealt with Herbie's and 5 days later I was in my car again. The car looked brand new!!!!!!!!!!!! You could not tell there was anything done to it at all. He actually went ahead and fixed a minor glitch in my engine that would make the rpm go up for no reason, and a rear headlight (I know it is something very small, but the attention to detail is what makes me go back to this guys every time) Car was washed inside out, waxed and ready to drive away!!! Thank you guys as always! Customer for life! Who needs AAA when there is Herbies Autohaus! read more

I took my 1970 beetle to Arman, the work was great, he replaced my shocks, he fixed my emergency brake, fixed a electrical short and oil change even put a horn in the beetle, would not go to anyone else five stars thanks Arman P.S. Took my VW back to Arman about 2 weeks later on a separate issue Arman didn't charge me for his 20 mins of work in the heat (I will not forget that) who does that in this day I have gone back to Herbie's about 3 or 4 times Arman is still the best!! Thanks My Friend read more

An actual honest mechanic!!! Armand is amazing, although I was a tad disappointed his name wasn't Herbie. When my passenger side fender got smashed into, he handled all the insurance BS, all I did was give him my agent's #, he did the rest. Came out to diagnose the Jeep, and once he took it to shop, it was done 3 days before originally planned and she looked fabulous! Amazing job. After, I noticed a fuse had blew and the interior lights weren't coming on. Once I told Armand, he asked me where I was, which was at a doctor appointment in Burbank. This dude drove to Burbank, came up to my docs office to get my keys and went down and replaced the fuse while I was upstairs. He's amazing! He goes above and beyond. Now I'm meeting him tomorrow so he can fix the urgent gas leak I have, which he warned me about earlier, and I of course put it off. I'm hoping the cost is reasonable because it's first time I'm using him without insurance claim. From what he's shown me so far, I'm not concerned. This guy is a diamond in the rough! Amazing! U won't regret calling him. Oh, and he comes to you to diagnose the car! read more

Con man. I don't understand how this guy lives with himself, knowing that he scammed a student??? I don't trust this shop whatsoever. He forgot to connect my headlights so I had to drive back home after work AT NIGHT without them. He told my father he would take 3 days to replace my radiator, he said it was a lot of work. He called back the next day and said my car was ready. Too good to be true. He assured me he fixed the check engine light issue but to my surprise it turned back on the next day. Once he got his share of money he decided to tell me that my car is basically worthless, wow thank you for letting me know this AFTER i gave you money to fix it. Not honest. read more

Having used several Mercedes Dealerships in 25 years of driving, I have never been more impressed with a mechanic. Ladies as you know, when you are a single female with limited resources, a mechanic visit could be very nerve wracking. Your anxiety increases before, during, and after the visit. But since I found Herbie's Autohaus, I have never had that problem again. I will not take my Mercedes 430E anywhere else except Herbie's and you shouldn't either. Even if you live far away, it is worth the drive and for those nearby, Herbie's is definitely the place to go. They provide efficient repairs; they're the best. They are very professional, thorough, fast, and with fair prizing, an unbeatable combination. In addition to Mercedes, they have other car specialties. It is the best place you can take your car in LA. Arman, the owner, is honest, kind, fair and forthcoming about repairs. He is very knowledgeable and takes time to provide detailed explanations of his analysis regarding any repair before and after, and even demonstrates & shows examples when necessary. It's amazing! Must see to believe; still surprises me that I got lucky & found them. Bottom line, I'm so pleased to have a mechanic whom I trust, which is not easy coming from me. read more

I came here to get an oil change in my 2011 Hyundai Elantra. I asked for Synthetic oil and I couldn't be happier with their service. I did t feel like I was overcharged. I actually need to have an alignment done on my car, so I'll definitely be calling them to see what they can do. read more

I have known the owner for 20 years. He has been repairing my cars since I was in college. He is the best. I would trust Arman with my kids and not just my cars. Jeffrey Vallens www.4criminaldefense.com read more

I'm so impressed with Arman. I take two different cars to him for basic maintenance but recently bought a vintage VW van and took it to him for some advice. He looked it over top to bottom, told me what was necessary and what could wait. When I recently broke down a few miles from his shop I called him and he not only came over to take a look at the car, but helped me procure a tow when we realized it was something bigger than a dead battery, and then drove me and my two children home! He really saved me that day. He then worked on our van and got it all fixed up just in time for us to go on a camping trip we had been planning for 6 months. I highly recommend Herbie's. read more

After taking several times my BMW X3 to the local dealer and wasting so much time and money, I was introduced to Arman. Previously, I had never been able to solve the problems my vehicle was having. Now, it's been several years that I've been going to Herbie's Autohaus and it is my favorite place to take my car. Arman and his staff are great to work with. Best customer service with care I've ever had. No matter what problem my vehicle has, small to major, from oil change to accident repair, it gets done with time considered and many accommodations to solve the issues with the highest standards. You can sense Arman's confidence and knowledge of the field just by talking to him. He not only makes the effort to complete his job with quality and on time, but also dedicates himself to educate his clients by explaining everything so they are aware and informed. He even goes above and beyond routine work to ensure that your car is returned in pristine condition. Arman and his friendly staff are reliable, honest, trustworthy, and experienced with what they do. I have referred all my friends to them, and they are all just as satisfied as I am. read more

I am gonna keep this short. I went to Herbies a while back to replace a leaky hose. They did a great job and charged me a fair price. I would definitely recommend checking them out. read more

Arman is the best & so is his shop. Wouldn't take our car anywhere else! Arman is trustworthy and extremely reasonable with pricing. Hard to find a good mechanic and body shop like this. Great place! No matter where we live I will drive out of my way to take my vehicles to Herbie's Autohaus. read more

I went in for an oil change for the first time. Arman said that the previous shop I went to for oil changes didn't check my air filter. He showed me how dirty it was! It just goes to show how important it is to go to a place that's trust worthy. He's definitely converted me into a loyal customer based on this one experience. read more

Took my diesel VW in for an oil change. Not only did I experience friendly fast service but he also helped me lock my battery in place at no extra charge. I'll be bringing my business back! read more

My wife wrecked her 2012 Audi Q5 up in Mammoth. We took it to Herbie's and they took care of all the insurance paper work and everything. Both the front and rear bumper assemblies, sensors, lights and more had to been replaced. It is a complex job because these cars have multiple electronic sensors and such installed in the front and back. Once done the car looked like new, and everything worked as new. It has been 3 months since the repair and all is good. These guys really do top level work, I would come here before the dealer without question. read more

Honest and reasonably priced. They did a great job repairing my car after an accident. They turned it over quickly and did an excellent job. I'm very pleased. Thanks! read more

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Check Herbie's Autohaus for a variety of services including oil change, brakes check, dent repair, etc. One of my car doors had a dent and Alex fixed it; it is as if the dent was never there. Also, the cool thing about Herbie's is the fact that this is a mobile car repair service so while you are at home or at work, your car is being fixed. No need to look for or drive to a body shop. read more

This is a great shop the owner really goes out of his way to remedy the problem at hand and dosent try to tack on extra bull + the shop is clean and secure just like a place I would leave my car without a care. read more

Arman and his business were really good to me and my family. He knows exactly what he's doing. You can tell he is an expert in his field and his craft. I will not take my car anywhere else, as I don't trust anyone else to do as great of a job as he does. I'll be referring all my friends and family to him. Great work and great service. read more

About 8 months ago I purchased a 30 year old diesel Mercedes sedan. I loved my old mechanic but he only works on Japanese cars. How lucky did I get to find Arman and Herbie's Auto Haus down the street from my house. It's an old car and I've had a few issues since I bought it. Arman's prices are always fair, he does the work fast and he tells me when I can put things off til I have more cash. Once I broke down a couple miles away. I called Arman to let him know I'd be coming in. A couple hours later when I hadn't showed up, Arman drove down the street to check on me to see what the hold up was. Another time I needed a new battery. Arman had warned me at my previous oil change that this may be coming. When I called him to confirm this is probably what my issue was, he offered to loan me the tools to replace it myself. I've NEVER had a mechanic offer to loan me his tools. I used to rebuild VW engines and know how sacred a mechanic's tools are. I've never had service like this and can't recommend Arman and his staff highly enough! I now live in Long Beach and still take my car to Herbie's Auto Haus...they're just that good. read more

This is my favorite spot to take my car when I have a little trouble or just need an oil change. I came across Herbie's after another shop down the street gave me a heart-stopping quote for new brakes. Arman quoted me at less than half the initial quote from the other shop, followed it up with a job well done and I have been coming back ever since. When I have an issue with my car I often feel like I'm at the mercy of my mechanic because other than calling my Dad I really don't have a point of reference or experience when it comes to auto repair. I always feel like Herbie's is more than fair and has at times gone above and beyond to help me. I've been bugging Arman to put up a yelp page so people can hear about his good work and I'm more than happy to finally be able to give Herbie's the 5 star review they deserve :) read more

No longer an auto shop but a mobile car repair service. Been looking to fix my 99 civic from overheating, other mechanics kept giving me the workaround or kept telling me to come back some other day so I came on yelp to look for a good mechanic. I called them up and told me they will come to my house the next day and look at my car. Next day comes and it takes him not even 10min to figure out the problem with my car. He tells me he will do his best to price check the radiator to make this as economical as possible. He calls me 4hrs later and tells me the price AND that he can fix my car the same day. All in all good, fast, cheap, and reliable service. I'd give more stars if I could. Found myself my new permanent mechanic!! read more

Herbie's Autohaus is a stellar repair shop. Arman is very kind, accommodating and professional. I highly recommend his business!

courteous, honest, offered transportation when repair was going to be overnight.
