Truck overheated.Ended up here when I was towed from the Grapvine. I spent a lot of money, and time only to have their repairs fail because they were installed wrong with no quality control. The whole operation felt extremely shady already. I was already uncomfortable leaving my vehicle there. But I was traveling and Lebec was nearest. It "felt" like they were the only repair shop in town. They did the repair and replaced parts. But got lazy and lost fasteners,bolts, didn't tighten. All their damage was discovered by other mechanics later. If you have an emergency in the grapevine avoid coming here at all cost. read more

We got a rental from the Bay Area to travel down to universal studios for a family vacation. Bad tires on the vehicle from the get, 6 years old, dry rot, shoulder wear. I knew better. But I had vacation eyes! So obviously, I had a problem with one of the tires on the trip lol it started losing air pretty rapidly coming out of the Grapevine. so we found this place right off the freeway when we were getting gas across the street. We were greeted by Curtis out front. He told us to go inside where we met Jade. Both of them super friendly and professional. Turns out the spare was 10 years old and completely unusable lol but the good news is they had a tire in my size. Which was shocking because it's a 22 inch wheel. She worked me up a good price and Curtis made it happen. Jade was fun to chop it up with, she was really friendly and we found we had a ton of stuff in common! Felt like your good old fashioned neighborhood garage. We were back in business and on the road in an hour. Super appreciate Jade and Curtis! Great customer service and they helped turn around the ugly energy I had from the tire drama! Def recommend ! read more

I think this garage and their employe Ernesto may be ripping me off. He was supposed to send me a small amount of money for a car that they said was not repairable. never got the money though I've spoken to him two times about it. Hopefully it's just confusion but be aware. read more

Incredible service! We had a flat tire on the way to a hike and Magz saved the day - incredibly quick service for such a great price! Super kind and diligent. Recommend to everyone!! read more

Gentlemen helped me out on broke down side of I-5. Not bad timing too. Nice guys to help you out

These men here are a godsend. Last minute close to closing they helped me replace my tire quickly so I can get back on the road to LA. I don't know what I would have done had they not been there the exact moment my tire blew up. Thank you again for your courtesy and kindness. ​​ read more

Great customer service fast and reliable. Upon arrival Ernesto was very friendly fast and found a solution to my truck. Thank you will be coming back soon. read more

Experienced some car trouble that ended up being my rear bearings while on the grapevine, Ernesto and the front staff were incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic and diagnosed the issue quickly and had parts coming! As a girl travelling on her own, I was certainly at the mercy of whatever any mechanic told me at any shop- and I consider myself so incredibly blessed to have stopped at Magz auto. Ernesto my mechanic went over everything with me and showed me how he diagnosed the issue, he test drove it after and then had me test drive it with him there! I watched them work hard getting people back on the road and the experience left with hugs and a very fair price, I cannot recommend this shop more if you're experiencing car troubles! Very knowledgeable and very kind staff here:) Special shout out to Jade in the front hope you're doing well and thank you so much for your kindness! read more

Greatly appreciate to excellent treatment provided by Jade after our vehicle was towed following an accident with fire.

Hands down the worst shop I've had to deal with. Edmond's 24/7 towing they're attach to isn't 24/7. Spent 3 hours pushing my car to this place. Left a note in the night drop box. I called the next day around noon just to make sure they had my info. Got called 2 hours later saying my car will be done today. I asked for a quote first. They called back another 2 hours later again saying my car will be done today. Ask for a quote again. They called me back right before closing and ask me what I thought the problem was. Next day I called them about 1pm. They quoted a possible engine replacement @$1700 for engine and @ $2000 for labor. At their labor price that's over 2 days work. So either they're ripping me off or they're terrible at they're job. When I question it they of course replied let me get exact pricing. 2 more days later didn't hear from them. I called back and got all attitude with " I can't find a engine for you". I showed up to get my car. Had to wait 45 mins for them to find the key. Then got a we'll we won't charge you storage fees. Lol. Stay away from this place if you can avoid it. read more

I had just come from a memorial service and was in a panicky situation while traveling alone. The owner of Magz, Sam, had terrific communication skills and responded quickly with texts and phonecalls. Sam was honest and put me at ease. He even made me laugh out loud at least four times while sitting in the customer's lounge. This company was extremely helpful in a stressful situation. They got me in and out in no time and back on the freeway. Highly recommend Magz for quick and reliable service. read more

Had a scary moment in the Grapevine where I ran over a large chunk of something and suddenly the underside of my car started dripping fluids. Within an hour, this auto shop was able to take a look at my car, provide a diagnosis, and get me sent on my way. Jade was incredibly helpful and had great communication; her professional demeanor helped me feel at ease and calm after that stressful encounter. She was also very honest, and didn't overcharge me for what ended up being something very simple. I appreciate this place so much! read more

It was a hot Sunday afternoon with my wife and four year old son on our way to Disneyland. After making it up to the top of the Grapevine grade, my car suddenly overheated. I literally saw the temperature needle move extremely fast into the red zone and then the check engine came on. After pulling over, I hooked up my OBD2 diagnostic car scanner and it showed two trouble codes. Due to the way the temperature needle gauge moved so quickly, I suspected the thermostat had malfunctioned. I googled about a dozen auto repair shops and, of course, they were all closed on Sunday...except for Magz Auto Repair. Luckily for us, we were only one short exit away and we were able to get our car there without a tow. The shop hours posted at the front door indicate they are closed on Saturday & Sundays so I'm not sure when they began to open on Sundays. Donna, the front office manager, was very nice. She explained everything to us upfront, such as wait time, diagnostic fee, etc. The diagnostic fee is $120.00 if the repair work is not done by their shop. If the shop does the repair, the diagnostic fee is applied to the job. The thermostat, as I suspected, was the problem. The work repair cost that I was quoted was very reasonable. I expected it to cost substantially more, not only because it was a Sunday, but also because the thermostat on my vehicle is not easy to access and requires much more labor. Unfortunately for us, their auto parts supplier is closed on Sunday and so I had to leave my car there until the Monday. There is a Carquest Auto Parts store on the same block but they were also closed. FYI, at this exit #205 (Frazier Mountain Park Road) off I-5, there are four gas stations (Flying J Travel Center, Chevron, Arco, Speedway), a Motel 6 & a Holiday Inn Express, and at least 3 restaurants ( Jack in the Box, Los Pinos Mexican Restaurant, China Red House). Thank you Donna and the mechanics at Magz Auto Repair. read more

I had an engine misfire on my way back to LA. I called them and they said they are about to close,and I asked if they could just wait five minutes and they refused. They told me to come back Sunday morning. I come on the morning and the same lady tells me that they sent the mechanics home because there is no business. It's a Sunday and now I have to spend another day here with a broken car. I am sick of shops in this area taking advantage of desperate people. THEY SHOULD ALSO REMOVE THEIR 24/7 sign. It's ridiculous! read more

Had a blow out on our way home from Palm a Springs to the Bay Area. Triple A came through and towed us here. Staff was friendly and quick. We were in out in less than an hour. Thank you very much! read more

WARNING! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Unfortunately broke down on a road trip with radiator problem. They replaced the radiator in a day and I was grateful and happy since I didn't live in the area, they allowed me to get back on the road. However, shortly after my radiator failed. When I took it to the car dealer they told me that the radiator was replaced with a very old and corroded radiator. Magz sold me this radiator for a new radiator price, but used some piece of crap they just found somewhere. I will be filling a complaint with the BBB. read more

As a girl, naturally hate when something goes wrong with my car & I don't have someone by me. To my surprise, MAGZ auto repair was so honest with me. They fixed the issue super quick & I was back on the road in no time. Thanks Sam for being awesome & making me feel comfortable coming to a mechanic shop as a girl & walking out not feeling like I just got to get ripped off. All of their staff were pretty friendly too. read more

Owner told me to f@@@ off and tell whoever I want, so here I am. I openly heard the drivers talking with the owner about transporting "something" and how the police were investigating them and had already drawn their guns. I had to pay and get out of there. They replaced my battery and alternator even though I told them it was the wiring. It was obviously the wiring. I called the owner from the safety of a new honest mechanic in a different town, who found the rogue wire in under 30 minutes. Owner fo Magz told me to f@@@ off. He also owns both this and Edmond's Towing, which are both in the same mechanic shop. He must keep them separate to make it more difficult to investigate him. Owner's name is Sam but that's clearly a fake name. I also heard him go by Alibaba. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this auto repair shop !!! Communicative, efficient, fair, beyond kind and friendly. As a woman it can be intimidating to go into auto shops and talk to the mechanics but both my friend and I felt safe and treated with fairness and respect. Maria, the amazing woman in the office went so so so far above and beyond to help my friend and I while we we're driving from northern california to southern california when our car overheated. She's truly an angel. 1000000/10 recommend (plus a super adorable and friendly dog) read more

After carefully try to stear away from the big rock on the road I basically aimed right toward it and hit it. After about 5 min...flat tire. Since I have a Volt it doesn't come with a spare tire but a repair kit. It did inflate but only for 3 miles. So down the hill we went trying to get to a tire repair place. We had to stop every 4-5 miles to blow the tire up again which took about 2 hrs. Needless we were tired and a but frustrated when we arrived here. They gave us prompt attention and I was glad to pay for a new tire ($150). People have to realize this isn't a charity business but a business that has overhead and employees to pay and you may have to wait in this "instant now" world we live in. I was thrilled to be back on the road in under a hour. read more

Don't go on a weekend or holiday, or at all if you can avoid this business! Hours are 9-6 Mon-Sun but charged me holiday fee and weekend fee when they are open! Claims they stayed open for us when we did not ask him to. Job took 5 minutes to complete and a $10 hose clamp (used that he admitted taking off another vehicle) and charged me $150.00! Talk about price gauging! Plenty of other places in the area who will be fare. Also, when asked for a receipt, the receipt was for $100.00 less then what I paid. Not an honest or fare company I'd want working on my vehicles! read more

Great repair shop! Started having problems with my vehicle while headed up the grapevine, pulled off the road and discovered this shop. Sam took care of me right away and got me back on the road. This is the only auto repair shop along the grapevine so be prepared to pay, while the service is not cheap they do take great care of you. read more

The best MECHANIC shop out there! The mechanic was so honest. They inspected my car and even though it was a very complicated issue, they had it ready in no time.. I will definitely go there again! read more

In and out in 45 minutes on a holiday weekend with alternator replaced. Super nice people.

These people sent me out to my death on the I-5 up to Sacremento. I'm a 19 year old college student and they took advantage of my naivety. My car broke down and AAA towed me to their shop. They claimed that my radiator was the issue and charged me $400 to fix it. They also claimed that everything else was fine and sent me on my way. Took it later to my neighborhood mechanic and it turns out they gave me some old radiator when they charged me for a new one. Overheated again and went back to their shop. They claimed that my radiator cap was the issue, said they checked everything else. About 100 miles later, car overheated, went to a local mechanic and turns out there was no thermostat in my car. Did they steal my thermostat? They said everything was fine. I asked if they stole it and they hung up on me. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT GO HERE, THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DESPERATE. read more

Super easy staff to deal with. I got a nail in my tire while driving up to my cousins house & these guys fixed it in no time.

Had to write this review after my perfect auto mechanic experience with Magz. Sam was a true professional. These people are HONEST, which is the most important thing to me. They told me what was wrong with the car. Fixed it and double checked it the same day (within hours, to be exact). Said it was a simple issue, didn't even charge me for it (not even a diagnostic fee). They could have easily charged me at least a $100 diag fee plus labor cost, etc. Magz, you were a lifesaver when I need a good mechanic the most. Thank you a million times. P.S.: I, like most of the people who posted reviews here, was passing through the area from LA. I was far far away from home. Don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found this place. read more

Our car overheated while driving through the grapevine. Everything was closing, and we came to Magz and even though they were extremely backed up and busy they serviced us right away and tried their best to help us out. Had to end up getting a rental car, and they called the rental car place for us and we got picked up at the shop. They were extremely helpful in a very stressful situation. Thanks Magz! read more

I was towed by Triple A to this shop when my car was smoking on the grapevine going southbound July 2017. I am a senior woman and was traveling alone. I was told after a $89 "inspection" that my transmission was shot and I needed a new one, and the employee informed me that a rebuild or repair were not recommended. He assured me that my Subaru with less than 80,000 miles was known for these sorts of failures. In fact transmission failures were common nowadays. I got a hotel room and reviewed the situation. I called my daughter who knows cars, and she contacted Triple A and other car knowledgeable friends, and it was decided that the diagnosis was questionable in the extreme and so subsequently my subaru was towed to nearby Valencia where a Triple A recommended shop repaired the small leak in the transmission and changed the transmission fluid, and my oil, and I was out in hours with a charge of under $500. My car is currently performing perfectly. My advice to fellow motorists stalling anywhere near Lebec California near Interstate 5: do NOT stop at or trust in anyway the Magz Auto Repair folks. read more

By far the best Auto Repair I have been at. I was driving down from Bakersfield when all of a sudden my left tire popped and I was stuck on the road. Shortly after a tow truck approached my car on the freeway and took me to the nearest shop, which happened to be Magz Auto Repair. I was very satisfied with the workers and was out of there in about an hour. I recommend this shop to anyone living close by or even not. read more

The mechanic was friendly and upfront with every step they were taking to take care of my car. It cost less than expected. It's also great that they are open on weekends until 6. read more

Had a breakdown on i5. My battery was shot and calling triple A they directed me to this shop. Honestly i have to say that these guys saved me. They towed me back to their shop and helped me out with the car, and i was back on the road in no time. Particularly the management was extremely helpful with their knowledgable expertise, as well as their pricing . I would highly recommend this place. Well done!! read more

Had the misfortune of being towed there today as they are the only local tire shop. I had a flat on the way home and no spare. Sadly it's the day before the 4th of July and I needed my truck on the road. I was charged $180.00 for one tire that would probably cost $60.00 any place else. Had they put on a new valve steam, it would have been another $30.00. As I drove up the hill, towards home,the front end bounces like crazy. They didn't balance the new tire. Needless to say, I'll be driving an hour past this place to get my new tires read more

These men helped me put. I was pushing up the grape vine and was able to limp in there shop topped me up with coolant and had me idle for 20 minutes to make sure the was the problem and low and behold that's all it took!!! Got me up and running and gave me great advise about not running my ac going up the hill especially when it's 115 degrees out thanks again for the help!!!! read more

Avoid this place like the plague! Our Audi with 27K miles would not start while passing thru Frazier Park. We were towed to Magz Auto repair. They immediately put it on the hoist (did not check to see if the battery was good or bad) and started checking things under the car. After 20 minutes the guy comes out and says we need a new starter to the tune of $435.00 plus $100.00 labor. Says it will take 3 hours to get one from a parts store. Stuck in the middle of nowhere's vile, I tell him to go ahead. After the starter is installed, and I go to get in the car they have jumper cables on the battery and tell me the battery is bad, and I need a new battery. I told them that I'll drive it to the dealer in Bakersfield, Ca 48 miles away to get a battery. The guy makes me initial the work order acknowledging that the battery is shot. I tell him I want the original starter, which he gives me. When I reached the Audi dealer in Bakersfield, I shut the ignition off and tried to re-start it. It would not start with their $435.00 starter. Guess what, after the new battery was installed, the car started fine. When I got home to Washington I took the starter to an auto electric shop. They load tested the starter and gave me written report stating the starter was good. It's pretty obvious that Magz Auto Repair ripped me off for $500. Too bad they can not make a living off of treating people right and being honest. read more

My son and i broke down in the hwy it was late and windy. Car was towed to Magz Auto which was within 7 miles of our location. It was a fearful situation and we were comforted with phone calls to make sure we were ok and smiling faces. They offered us a warm place to wait for our ride and chocolate candy. The car was inspected with no issues found but suggestions offered as to why it may have not started. Magz did not take advantage of our situation and we drove home back to Los Angeles with no issues. I am very appreciative of their availability and concern in our time of need. God Bless Magz Auto and the Tow company. read more

WARNING!! Not a trustworthy business. My car was towed to Magz after overheating. They diagnosed a blown head gasket. Tried to sell me on replacing the engine to the tune of $3800. I passed on their offer. Had the car towed to my home ($500) paid their storage and diagnostic fee ($350) Rented a car ($100). I was out $950 with a dead car. Silver lining: I replaced the radiator cap for $10 and have been driving the car for 2 months now. read more

Took my car here for repair... excellent service! They were super helpful, honest, and quick!

my son & his family broke down on the side of the road while driving my car. I felt bad because they had kids with them. We called around & there was only one place open late on Saturday afternoon. Magz Auto was able to tow the vehicle, replace the radiator hoses and they were back on the road. These people went out of their way to help & were totally honest. We saw 5 or 6 people that had broken down & needed help & they stayed open late to help everyone that was towed there. Hopefully we never have to use them again, but we will sure let everyone know if they need help Call Magz Auto and Edmonds Towing... they are the best! read more

Sam worked with me all day to get my tire fixed on my new Tesla. Much harder than Michelin or Tesla worked on it. He was patient, kind, and courteous with a very good price. I'm a local so I'm coming back to him with my other cars for service. I'll let you know how that goes, too. read more
