When I lived in the Glendale area, I took my cars in for repairs, smog checks to Image Auto where Hamlet & his father, Nick, did an excellent job analyzing the problem & fixing it at a reasonable price. I felt I could trust them to be honest, reputable, & dependable giving you alternatives on fixing the car & finding the least expensive solution. They will take you back or pick you up if you're within the nearby community. Callto see their area of service. Unfortunately, I am no longer in the area. I highly recommend Image Auto for those living especially in the Sunland-Tujunga, Shadow Hills, La Crescenta, La Cañada, North Glendale region. PS Many times Hamlet has a small limited number of well maintained used cars that he fixed up for resale. Again call for more info. read more

He is the best in the business! My family and I have been going to Image Auto Repair for nearly 30 years! Hamlet and his family have been so professional and honest with our family. He has worked and is an expert on everything from Mercedes Benz, BMW, Corolla, and Civics. International or domestic, he can work on it all! Hamlet is hard working, prompt, and extremely professional. His prices are extremely competitive, and I still drive the 40+ miles to have my car serviced and worked on only by him! He is the only one in the business my family and I truly trust. Thank you for taking care of us! From a true professional to a family friend, we miss you! read more

Honest, friendly, and reliable. I have come to Hamlet for multiple repairs and he always does a fantastic job. Recently the oil light turned on in my 2003 BMW 325i and I gave Hamlet a call to see what needed to be done. He told me to come in during the afternoon so he could check my car out. He checked my oil levels and told me that was not the issue. After further diagnosis, he told me that the switch that controls that light was malfunctioning and a new one had to be ordered. He told me it was not a severe issue and that I could continue driving my car for a few days until the part came. Did the repair quickly and efficiently, and for a reasonable price. Hamlet will always greet you with a warm "Hello" and a smile on his face! Always offers water and coffee to you. Oh, and the shop is spotless! How is it possible for an auto shop to be so clean? Highly recommend this place. read more

Worthy of the other five stars. A good clean honest shop! He does a really solid oil change and it's about the same prices anywhere else except for the lack of how shall I say "salesmanship with upgrades"...he just takes care of it that's all. read more

To buy a new car or fix your car up ? I took my car to Helmet at Image Auto Repair and asked him that question. He looked at my car one afternoon, and let me know what all needs to be done to make the car have good and updated things in it - new brakes, new shocks, 60,000 servicing, new rubber seals, etc. Comparing the price of a new car with financing versus a big repair on my old car, i choose the big repair. Helmet at Elite did a good job on this. I drove to Northern California and back after the servicing, and the car ran really well. read more

I wish I had found image many years sooner. They are the best at what they do, honest and fast. I had a smog check and a few little fixes done and it was easy. This was my second visit and I will be back. read more

Have used Image auto repair for years. wonderful honest people Thank you. read more

I was recommended to Image auto by a friend, and boy am I glad I decided to take their word! I spoke with Hamlet and couldn't be more happy with his service and more importantly, his honesty! Not once did I feel that he was trying to take advantage, in fact you can tell he's been in business for a while and is totally concerned about his clients. I brought in my car once because it was hesitating when I would punch it after a complete stop. Hamlet pinpointed the problem within minutes and offered a temporary fix until I can pay for the actual part that needed to be replaced, which isn't much, just didn't have the funds at the moment. Today I brought my car in because my radiator burst (completely my negligence). He is repairing it at an amazingly reasonable price. He even dropped me off at Enterprise so I can rent a car. Honesty, knowledgable, reasonably priced and quality work!! What else can you ask for in a mechanic?!?!? I would highly recommend Image auto and Hamlet to any friend or family member! read more

I needed a STAR certified Smog place, and this was the place. I went in on a Saturday morning and was quickly greeted and taken care of. The smog results went directly to DMV. I was in and out in a quick 15 minutes! Thanks! read more

In the middle of the 7-11 and world gym. I went here a while back and gave my car for a smog check. He was nice and the guy was very trustworthy. He said that if it was the wrong type of smog then he would get it to the right shop. I was a little wary about that at first, but I agreed. Fair price and knows what he's doing. That's all I ask for in my car guy. Would definitely return. read more

I rarely rate businesses but I felt compelled to rate this wonderful little gem of an auto repair shop. At 1pm on Friday afternoon, the started in my 2011 Hyundai Sonata essentially melted, leaving me stranded in Tujunga (about an hour from where I live). AAA referred me to Image Auto Repair (as they are AAA approved) and so I called them and spoke with Hamlet. He told me that it was likely that they would be able to fix my car that day as long as they had the parts. I arrived at Image Auto Body around 2:30pm. Being a smaller Auto Repair shop, I had a bad feeling that they would not be able to get me back on the road and I already started thinking about how I was going to get home on a Friday afternoon, how I would be without a car for a few days, and how I was going to get a ride back to Tujunga to pick up my car. Hamlet was incredibly friendly and honest right off the bat. Much to my relief, he informed me that they were able to get the starter for my car and that it would be done by 5pm. He also was completely up front with me regarding the cost of parts and what the total cost would be. There were no surprises. While waiting, he was very friendly, patient, and informative (which is unusual for someone as busy as he is on a Friday afternoon). Sure enough, my car was finished at exactly 5:01pm and now runs perfectly once again. I was home by 6 and I am happy to say that I am mobile and not without a car, thanks to Hamlet and his guys. It was a happy accident that I stumbled upon this little shop and I am incredible grateful that I did. Although I live nearly an hour away, I will absolutely be back at Image Auto Repair to have Hamlet complete any future work that needs to be done on my car. read more

Absolutely the best service I have ever received. Most honest shop I have ever encountered. I was told by others I needed $1000 worth of repairs and when I got here they said it simply wasn't true and got all the work needed done for $400. I finally found a reliable honest place! read more

Excellent establishment. I was recommended Hamlet's services by a friend. I needed a smog check. I pulled in and 10 minutes later pulled out with a certificate headed to the DMV. No problem. Thank you guys. read more

I've come here more than once for a smog check and little things on my car. Always very friendly and would definitely recommend this place.

The driving shaft of my BMW 135i was broken and was causing noises while accelerating the gas. I took it to Hamlet, the amazing owner of Image Auto Repair and he fixed it in a day with a reasonable price tag. Best mechanic around, highly recommend their work :)! read more

I was searching Yelp for a shop to get a smog check and found Image. Once I got there I said what I needed and the mechanic immediately took care of it. I was back on the road within 15ish minutes. Very pleased with their service! Remember to mention Yelp as they give a discount for checking in. read more

Met Hamlet first time last week. He took care of my 93 dodge van. I have dealt with hundreds of mechanics out there in the past. I'm in the automotive industry for 20 years so I know what Im talking about when it comes to finding a good mechanic. Many of them are either dishonest or they don't know what they are doing. Believe me, finding good mechanics are almost impossible to find but I do know few. Hemlet is one of few out there. If you want to take care your car, don't waste your time and money on other places. Oh, I live almost one hour from his shop. read more

Quick and great service! I went in today for a smog check and was done in 15 minutes. I even got a discount which always makes me happy :)

I was looking for a place to do a last minute emissions test. When I couldn't get into the mechanic I went to previously, image was recommended to me. They brought my car in right away(it was lunch time) and they had me out of there within 20 minutes at a reasonable price. read more

I highly recommend taking your car to Image Auto Repair. I went there for a smog check and I left feeling very confident that they performed their job effectively. They are extremely efficient and honest. Their prices are reasonable and they treat their customers very well. They are also AAA approved, which portrays their ability to do a great job on your car. I will definitely be going back! read more

I called Image Auto up for an issue with my throttle body. After asking if they do work on that, and being told yes, I then explained my situation to the man I spoke to. I told him that my car stopped accelerating while I was on the road, and that the other shop I took it to determined it was the throttle body, but they were unable to replace it for me. When he asked about the engine light, I mentioned that that it had been on ever since I had my engine replaced last year, as the place that put it in didn't reset the computer. He then told me, and I quote, "Sorry, but I don't really want to work on the. I don't want to spend the time to fix something if somebody did it wrong." Excuse me? Isn't your job to... I don't know... FIX things? In any case, I was unimpressed with the laziness and attitude of this employee (I did not catch his name, unfortunately, but it was whoever answered the phone today around 8:30 AM. I will certainly not be taking any future business here, since someone didn't feel like doing their job. read more
