My mini was a mess , smoking burning oil like crazy , I had gone to a mechanic who should have told me he knows nothing about mini coppers but he didn't do the right thing and still charged me ! Well since the oil leak wasn't fixed it was just getting worse , had family members trying to help nothing was going good , then we were told about a fantastic place called Minitek and a super cool guy named JESSE and I would have to say the first honest mechanic I have ever met ! And all the other guys there were just really super friendly and nice ! And it seems my mini likes Jesse a lot too ! So will go nowhere else for my car ! Trust me Minitek is honest, upfront and truly has good prices ! If u have a mini cooper go there ! They actually do what should be done ! A shout out to Minitek Jesse and his boys ! Thanks !

Minitek Auto Service - And now I'm so happy with my car and so far so good ! Thanks Minitek ! - Auto Repair Near Me - North Hollywood, California

See all

Highly recommended. Friendly service, honest and knowledgeable. Got a battery replacement on a 2012 mini cooper. Finished in less than an hour read more

Super professional services, nice n friendly staff. Thank you very much. Will always be back.

Took my mini to these guys and Jesse was probably the most knowledgeable person I've ever talked to about my mini cooper. After much discussion he said my car will turn into a money pit for me (fixing it would be double what it's worth) and recommended I buy another car. Never in my life have I met a more honest mechanic and when I buy another car, he'll be the only guy I take it to. Honest, integrity and just all around good guy. read more

Jessy is Amazing! Always takes good care of me and he's the only one I trust to take my mini too. He shows he truly cares about his work and has a lot of experience. I know I can always come here and be happy when I leave. read more

This is the best place I have brought my 2012 mini cooper. The service here is extraordinary and Chris goes above and beyond to explain what needs to be fixed. They use original parts and have used parts if you ask. I highly recommend coming to this location instead of a Dealership, simply because it cost less most of the time for the same quality fix. read more

Minitek Auto Service - They have an IG page and they accept different payment forms. - Auto Repair Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I don't really leave reviews for business's, but I've been coming to Minitek for years with all my vehicles so it's only fair to leave this establishment a review. First and foremost their mechanics and front office staff are always warm and welcoming. That's a major part of the charm of this family run business. Jesse is a very trustworthy and honorable mechanic. I love that Minitek has a women's touch as well with Evelyn and her daughters always providing a friendly conversation when your vehicle is ready (which makes it welcoming place for my wife and sister to go to as well). They have a mechanic Fernando there as well that specializes in Hyundais and he goes above and beyond to explain issues and layout possible solutions. Overall lovely staff, who provide honest and reliable work. read more

I want to start by saying I've never written a one-star review before. I've been coming to Minitek for over 5 years, and I experienced the 5-star rating you see. Unfortunately, in the last few years, the quality of their work and customer service has declined tremendously. I can only assume they're under new ownership because it feels like night and day. I got my brake pads changed 4 months ago. Ever since, my breaks sound 'rusty' - like something is clashing with the break. When I brought it back so they could see why, he dismissed me and said that brakes don't make noise. After the test drive, he simply said, I didn't hear anything. So now I have weird-sounding breaks caused by poor mechanical work. Then, my car was leaking oil so they 'fixed' it. After 2 months, my car is still leaking oil. He said the oil that was dripping was 'residue' from the last time he fixed it, but the car sensor says the oil is low again. So he blames the sensor. When I explained that it couldn't be the sensor because it read when the oil was full AND empty - he said: "These cars don't burn oil but maybe your car is." That makes no sense at all. I will never bring my car here again. Their prices are not competitive anymore. I don't trust their work. Good luck trying to get them to actually fix your car. read more

I'm literally never going anywhere else. They're so nice, so helpful, so quick, and don't price gouge you like other shops. Best people, best service. They're absolutely fantastic. read more

This place is amazing! I have been taking my car here after my warranty ended and they have been so great. It's family owned and I love chatting with the sisters- they are so sweet and funny. Jesse and his team are super nice and they are honest and do amazing service! Thank you! read more

I've been a return client for years and these guys have always taken care of my '06 MINI Cooper convertible so well that people hardly ever guess my car is 18 years old. I wanted to share a recent anecdote - I recently had some general maintenance work done but they held off on having me pay for the work (it was a Saturday and the accounting staff weren't working) because Chris realized some of the parts were covered under warranty and didn't want to overcharge me. We settled the payment after they worked it out and saved me hundreds of dollars. This shop is honest, hard-working and has the customer's best interest in mind at all times. GO HERE! You won't regret it. read more

My husband came here for brake services. I called a couple of days in advance just to book a appointment with them and they were Able to squeeze us in for service. They thoroughly explained everything at also advices us what other additional things at need fixing. Service was great and they didn't take long to finish as well. Definitely would recommend this place! read more

One of the sensors in my wife's Mini indicated that the car needed a break service. She took it into Minitek Auto service & they discovered that the sensor had fallen off & there was no service needed. We were surprised & delighted by their honesty. Another mechanic would have performed a "service" & charged us for something we didn't need. We were so impressed I had to leave a review. Highly recommend. read more

I learned about Jesse's auto shop after chatting up with him at the drive-thru I worked at. I've been going to him for all my oil changes (I have a toyota) And he refers me to other specialists if he can't get the job done like the time i needed a new windshield glass. His crew always explains everything to me. I don't feel intimidated as a woman to go into his shop. His wife and children are amazing at their jobs as well. They deserve all the positive reviews and business as a family owned shop. read more

After MINI of Universal City wouldn't even look at my car for 3 to 4 days despite having an appointment, I called Minitek to help me with my driver side window, which was out of adjustment. During these rains it was particularly important, as I had water seep in. Chris picked up the phone and told me to come a few hours later. I was 15 minutes early, he immediately came out, looked at the car, got his tools out and started working. After 15 minutes he was done, the window was adjusted and sealed again, and he didn't even charge me for it! Even though the general consensus was that the regulator will need replacement sometime down the road (a $700 repair) he didn't recommend it until the window would make trouble again. I had a wonderful experience, and will only take my Mini to them from here on now. read more

THE BEST!!! Great service, honest, and affordable! I took my car to Mini of Universal, and the estimate was so exorbitant I almost cried. Jesse charged 25% of what Mini of Universal estimated, and the repair work was excellent! I'll never take my car anywhere else! read more

Car battery died - called Minitek and they were able to get me in same day and charged 2/3 the price of other shops/dealerships in the area. The head technician and I discussed all of the dealerships recommendations and he called BS on a few items. Customer service was A++++. I will exclusively be servicing my Mini at Minitek from here on out. read more

I have a 2008 Mini Cooper S and there is NO ONE else I would trust with my car other than Minitek so that means I can never move! I was rear ended and due to a loophole I was forced to cover the damage and Minitek took such great care of me! We now bring both our Minis here with total confidencein Jessy and his amazing team!!! We love you guys!! read more

Minitek Auto Service - My Mini n Me - Auto Repair Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Was referred this place through a friend who said that this was an honest and well priced mechanic and I am happy to say that from my experience they truly are. My car (Hyundai) was having an issue and I had brought it to two other shops before this and they made it seem like there was nothing they could do since I wasn't able to replicate issue while I was there but this shop suggested I leave it for a couple days since I was still unable to replicate the issue while I was there and they really took time to figure it out and through test driving it and more time with the car they were able to diagnose and fix the problem for me. Once they diagnosed it they were able to do the repair fast and the price was very reasonable! Definitely will be using them again in the future. read more

I have been coming here for years for my Mini Cooper issues. I have tried all different Mini Cooper mechanics all over LA but I always have the most confidence taking my Mini here.

All my future cars will be mini and I will always come here to get it serviced. They are also very transparent with pricing and reasonable. Highly recommend this place!!!! read more

WOW!! There aren't enough words to express our gratitude to the owner of Minitek. He's made our Christmas one to remember. Their service is amazing.

We are so thankful to them and we will continue getting our MINI serviced with them moving forward. read more

Minitek Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Since our warranties expired we had troubles looking for a trust worthy mechanic. My dad's engine blew out so our friends recommended Jessy who previously worked at a Mini dealer and just happened to open his own place. Needless to say that the previous mechanics who "THOUGHT" they knew how to fix Mini's obviously didn't because when we brought both our Mini's to Jessy he found a broken spark plug in mine that I just paid to get replaced somewhere else. My car is now working like new. Runs great and never taking it anywhere else. They're honest, show and explain every little detail about the service you just received. Trust worthy and very humble team they have here. Worth the drive. read more

This is the best place to repair MiNis, They are very helpful. They will answer your questions read more

Hands down one of the best auto repair shops I've been to. Jessy is honest, trustworthy and knows his stuff. If you have a Mini then I highly recommend taking your car here. It's a family business and they make you feel like you are part of the family. His wife works the main office and is so sweet, it helps make the time pass by quickly while waiting for the repairs to be done. Speaking of time, they finished my car an hour earlier then what we thought. Jessy and his team also fixed the bumper guard on my car just because and without charging me. Like I said they are the best! I will be forgoing the dealership and taking my car here from now on. read more

Okay let me start by saying I know there's a lot of auto shops but believe me when I tell you this one is the one to go to I had to get my tires done and they took care of it and the entire experience was fantastic they let me know what options I have they didn't hassle me to get the most expensive things like most places do, and there prices are affordable! they were so professional, if I could give there customer service more than 5 stars I would I can now drive my baby around care free because I know they did a great job. Highly recommend going here. read more

Expert Mini mechanic, reasonable prices, expert advice, they went out of their way to take my car to the dealer to replace a recalled item.

If you have a Mini you should be taking your car here for repairs and maintenance. Period. Jessy and his staff are phenomenal. I bought my 2010 Mini used 'as is' from the Mini dealership. After a bit of a rocky start, I finally found Minitek. My car and I are now "death rattle" survivors. Jessy caught the issue (by ear) just before my motor would have been destroyed. Now, my car is driving better than when I first bought it. They are both trustworthy and transparent; eager to explain everything regarding repairs and clear about the severity of issues. I've never left a mechanic with such a feeling of happiness, gratitude, and relief. Odd words to describe yourself after major car repairs, but certainly the most appropriate. read more
