Good, responsible mechanic, and they are only a few blocks away from me. I will be back.

Gary, is amazing and very trustworthy. Definitely going back! Doesn't overcharge you and add things that don't need to be added.

Took my old fixer upper here, the service, cleanliness, and attention to detail was top notch! The price was great too! Thank you!!

I will never again have my car serviced by Gary. He's a deceiving man when it comes to human relations. He offered me a couple of shots of scotch whiskey. I knew at the time I was being misled into thinking he was up to something other than my vehicle. Women be weary of him, he's a liar! I guess we're even now, When I called his bluff, he confessed that he was a happily married man. Some men are just stupid. Gary darling! you're a good mechanic, but a lousy person. A man who lives in a garage is never clean. You dirty old man! read more

Been going to Gary for the past 15 years. He has keep my 2005 GMC truck on the road all 15 years. I'm writing this because I just took in my truck for an oil change and my truck now has 300,000 miles on it thanks to Gary keeping it going! I told him I was looking to get a new truck and he told me I was stupid and that my truck will go another 100,000 miles!! Thanks for the great work Gary! read more

I have been going to see Gary at Lance's Auto for over 30 years. I found him to be honest and an expert at diagnosing all sorts of mechanical problems. In all the years I've gone to see Gary I have never had to return because the job wasn't done right the first time. I highly recommend Lance's Auto for all your car's mechanical needs. read more

I love this place. His prices are very fair and the job is well done. His advice and work is honest and genuine. He never tries to get more out of you neither does he force anything. I trust him with my car eyes closed and never had any problems for all the years I been coming here. Strongly recommend!! read more

I took 3 of our cars to Gary at this automotive shop and he fixed all of the cars in a great amount of time, and he shows u the old parts he took out of your car, unlike other shops they don't even bother, this shop fixes alot of cars for kaiser permanente employees too, this place is a trustwworthy place and I have been recommending him to alot of people for a long time and they all agree with me about him being a trustworthy guy. thanks GARY!!! read more

Just bought a car from the auction and took it to Lance. It wasn't running when I got it but after a few hours and a few dollars, Lance got me on the road and bound for home. He is very friendly and reliable. The business is family owned and run. I don't think Lance works there but Gary is the head mechanic. Thanks Gary! read more

Yup don't go here. I told them to fix my car brakes and they fixed a problem that didn't need to be fixed and my brakes are even worse. Thanks for lying and stealing my money. I hope someone finds a way to sue your asses out the map. read more

Was upsold from the get go. Went in with my car having 2 codes . Had some cover work done and they must have not replaced my parts correct because all of the sudden my car had misfire codes after. Literally my car came out with more issues than when I first took it in. No trust. Will not be going back at all. read more

In a matter of minutes, Gary diagnosed my headlights and replaced my left and right headlight bulbs for $30. Great service! Will be back again. read more

I have been going here for the past few years now and every time I go I leave feeling good about fixing whatever problem I had with my older vehicle. Gary is great at explaining what the issue is and showing me the part or evidence of it. I am thankful to have an honest mechanic who I feel really does care about making sure the issues are addressed. Highly recommend. read more

This would absolutely be my only stop for any automotive repair. Gary, the owner, is honest, kind and a brilliant automotive diagnostician. He is one of a kind. read more

I am calling the better business bureau right after I write this. They ripped me off not once but twice. I took my car in to service it for a tune up shortly after I bought it. (March, 2010) I had Gary change the spark plugs on a 2004 Ford Focus and he used GM parts. Bad move because the car gave me headaches yesterday and it was the Spark plugs. When it comes to Ford's you need to use the Ford Motor Craft parts. Not even 20,000 miles later GM spark plugs are giving me problems. Cars are like computers. You cannot use A PC part on a Mac. or vice versa and expect the computer to work!!!!!!!!! The Second time was in June, 2010 I complained of a no cranke on the same Focus and he tried telling me it was the full pump. He changed the fuel pump and was still getting the no cranke sometimes when I tried starting the car. I finally figured out for myself it was a simple fix of the ground cable for the battery. When I told him what the issue was he just laughed. read more

Excellent! They are honest, reliable, friendly mechanics. My family has been going here for years. They've earned a solid reputation as very honest people. I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else. They'll let you know if something needs to be done on your car or if you can wait on it. If they say something needs to be replaced, they'll always show me the old (broken) part to show that it really did need to be replaced. I never even thought of this and totally trusted them, but they go ahead and show me anyway. Awesome mechanic! read more

I have been bringing my car's to Lance's Auto for about 6 years now. I drive all the way from Glendale. Gary is fair and honest and doesn't try to up-sell you on service you don't need. I've recommended Lance's to family and friends all who have had as good an experience as I. read more

I've taken my cars to Gary for the past 12 years, not only a great mechanic but very honest.

I service every car my family owns at Lances. Great, fast and honest work. I took my wife's car to get her breaks changed at 60,000 miles. Gary checked all the brake pads and told me I still had 50% on the pads and that changing the brakes at this time wasn't necessary. Any other place would had gladly taken my money. I drive from the Santa Clarita Valley to have my car worked on. I will remain loyal to Lances for a very long time. read more

My family and I have been bringing our cars to Gary for (at the very least) over 10 years and will continue to do so. He has proven time and time again to be a pro at what he does. What separates him from other similar businesses and the reason I will continue to be a loyal patron of Gary's is because he has integrity. And just like every other person that gave Gary a 5 star review as well: He's trustworthy, reasonable, honest, knowledgeable and experienced. He's a good guy and excellent mechanic. read more

Ive been taking my cars to Gary at Lance's Automotive for about 4 or 5 years now. He's always done a great job for me and my family. I would highly recommend Lances' to anyone who wants a quality job and a fair price. Thank you so much Gary. read more

I've been bringing my car here for 134 years now and the service is awesome. Gary is a very honest man and doesn't over charge on any job. I would recommend him to anyone. Tell him that billy bob sent you! read more

I wish more shops were as professional as Lance's. They charge reasonable rates and treat you with respect.

My car is still making noises after going here and they tried to fix more things that didn't need to be fixed. You deserve less than a 1 star rating btw. read more

I took my car to Gary at Lance's Automotive after the pulley for the fan belt blew and he was really great. I had found them on Yelp because I'm rather new to the area and didn't know where to go. He was able to see me right away first thing in the morning (I had to work later that day) and he was very honest and let me know what else was going on with my car and if I wanted those things done before he did it. He showed me the part that had broken and explained exactly what happened. Very informative, reliable and reasonably priced. A+ read more

This is what good service looks like. Gary explained the process of diagnosing the trouble and then repairs required very well. He delivered as promised both on time and cost. He showed me my old part too. I am happy to have found someone I can trust. I highly recommend the shop. read more

The best Auto repair on the planet! But, please don't keep Gary so busy that he doesn't have time to fix my car. Why is Gary so Great? I can only ponder that it is because he is an honest man with a big heart. He will not overcharge you, he will find out what the problem is even if you've already had 10 other places try and he will fix it properly and fast! But, if you really need it to take a week he's willing to do that too as long as we don't overcrowd him. Gary open a bigger place! read more

here is a copy of the letter I sent to Lance's automotive: I am writing this letter to thank you not only for your repair service on my car, but, also to commend you and your mechanics about the care and concern that you showed to me in my emergency situation. I had just been released from nearby Kaiser Hospital after having a very serious outpatient surgery. The moment we left the hospital, our car began to act up mechanically. I knew we could not drive it in this condition to my home 50 miles away. I did not personally know of any mechanic in the area. My granddaughter used her phone to find the nearest auto repair shop and found yours just a few blocks from our location. It was easy to find. When we arrived at your shop, my wife asked you to check out our car and informed you of my condition. I sat in the car as I watched you and another mechanic go into immediate action. Within minutes, you found the problem, put a rush order on the needed part and installed it in lightning speed. We were gratefully on our way back home and we collectively thanked God for leading us to your shop. I am, of course, very pleased with our experience with Lance's Automotive. The professional and courteous attitude, expert knowledge, and personal concern in handling our specific "crisis" certainly add up to our complete customer satisfaction. bobby romo read more

My family has taken our cars to Lances Automotive for over 20 years, they are always honest and reliable. I have never written a review before but everyone needs to have and trustworthy mechanic and Lance's Automotive it is. I moved out of town and went to a local mechanic whom tried to sell me services that I did not immediately need. Now i drive 30 miles to get my car serviced by Gary. read more

This place is the only place I trust my cars too!!! If your going to spend money on car repairs, spend it on a place you can trust. I have been a customer here since 2006 and have never looked back, even my new car maintenance service is done at Lances not the rip you off dealer mechanic.. Gary is straight up, no BS and has been in business for a long time. Do your self a favor and stop in if your looking for quality service that you can trust. read more

Gary is a honest hard working mechanic who wont screw you at all. His attitude is awesome. I've known Gary for at least 25 years and I moved away, now I came back and I had to go back to use Gary as my mechanic. I will always go back. Great man. Thanks Gary read more

I took my car the other day to get my brakes fixed. He gave me multiple options regarding repair. He also showed me each car part he was going to replace and explained why. It was definitely a positive experience. read more
