Art and his Crew are worth their collective Weight in Gold…read more I reached out to several Transmission Specialists via Yelp when my 2009 Nissan Rogue began Performing Irregularly out of the Blue 2 days ago. Without any Signs whatsoever-- no Odd Sound or Smell, let alone any Warning Lights on the Dash-- I had to press my Accelerator all the way to the Floor just to get it to go 5-10mph in LA Rush Hour Traffic from Midtown to Van Nuys for an Appointment. It ran just fine getting onto the 101... which I absolutely should not have Gambled, but Gonzo is as Gonzo does. It ran just as Smoothly as Normal later in the Evening with Cooler Temperatures and Clear Roads, so I took it to Autozone immediately after my Appointment to get a Reading. It came up with CODE: P0840 "Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/ Switch "A" Circuit," which came as a complete Relief since I've dealt with Transmission Failures before. Art was the first (by several hours) of 4 Mechanics to Respond to my Yelp Inquiry with a far more Thorough Message than the others. Uniq is located in Glendale, so with Gas Prices being what they are during this Absurd War I had really hoped for anything Closer. But after several Yelp Messages and a Phone Call, Art was already proving to be the Most Professional Mechanic ahead of time. He was as Jovial as he was Informative with his Initial Diagnoses... and given that his Inspection would be Free on top of a completely Expected Estimate and just how clearly he made it that Uniq Motors would get the Job Done right no matter whether the Problem was Fluid, Electrical, or Mechanical, I coordinated with him to bring my Vehicle in that Afternoon. Uniq Motors is located within a 20 minute walk to the Glendale Galleria and Americana where I have AMC A-List, so I was quite pleased with being able to take in a Movie in the Ensuing Hours it would take his Transmission Specialist to Elucidate what was going on and how to fix it. The Kicker? Art had his new Intern, Edgar, drive me to the Theater. It meant so much for this Enthusiastic young man to express his Gratitude for being given Purpose at his new job by giving me an Air Conditioned ride to the Venue. That young man's Pride in working with Uniq spoke so many Volumes of what kind of Ship that Art runs. Several Hours later, I returned to Uniq where this "Home Away from Home" for his Mechanics was filled with the smell of Pizza they had just gotten. Art was somewhat Aghast at how many times he'd had to Flush the Transmission Fluid... 4-5 times, with Fluid so Black and Thick that it had most likely Never been Serviced in the 135K miles it had taken on before I purchased it from a Private Seller in January earlier this year. I made myself Comfortable on his Office Couch while waiting for them to Flush the Transmission completely Clean. They'd had to add enough New Fluid to necessitate going slightly over the original Estimate, which was absolutely Understandable. They also found that the Transmission Casing had a small Leak, so he included that on the Receipt Printout for Future Reference on keeping my Chariot Serviced. I could feel the Improvement in my Car's Performance immediately. I had Zero Doubts whatsoever that I would make it back home in Midtown without a Hitch... and now I'm experiencing a *severely* Improved MPG. Thank you so much Art and Uniq Crew, you are absolutely worth the Drive and Invoice!

During that…read moreappointment, Art informed me that my transmission was leaking a lot and there were other issues. I was really worried that I would have to drop a lot of money on the repairs or would have to buy a new car. But Art found some great cost effective options, got me a really good used transmission, and took care of the necessary repairs. Art was in constant communication the whole time and gave me the best advice based on how old my car is and my driving needs. I'm so so grateful that I found this auto shop because he doesn't up sell and throughly explains everything. He even gives you the time to think about it before making the decision. When I picked up my car, it drove so smooth! I haven't had such a great driving experience in a while. Art also had my car washed and cleaned which was such a pleasant surprise! 10/10 experience, amazing guy, great work ethics, and very knowledgeable. He has a customer for life now! Best auto shop experience I have ever had! Thank you Art!

A shop of knowledgeable guys will tell you what's wrong with your car how much it'll cost no bs. I did the searching for you and landed on Vic's.

They told me the battery and alternator both needed to be replaced, and I paid a little over $1,000 for the repair. As soon as I got home, the exact same noise was still there. I decided to get a second opinion from another mechanic, who showed me that only the battery had been replaced. The alternator was still the same one and looked like it had never even been removed. When I called to ask for a refund for the alternator, they told me to bring the car back. By then, my car was already at the other shop being repaired correctly. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this business. I expected an honest diagnosis and to receive the repairs I paid for, but unfortunately that wasn't the case

For drop-off after work, i arrived a few minutes from closing time and Steve patiently walked me through the repairs and waited for me while I returned with the rental car loaner. When i mentioned to Avo that i had also new taillights to replace my original cracked ones, Avo told me to bring it in when i came to pick up. (This was not a part of the repairs they were doing) They finished my repairs within a few days as scheduled and my truck looked great. When i picked up my truck Avo installed my new taillights in just a few minutes for no charge. Overall great work by good people. I would definitely highly recommend Silverlake.

It's one of the best decisions I have made this year. Will was able to come out with a day or so and run a diagnostics check, quickly locating the issue and showing me the results. He explained to me what the issue was, discussed options, gave me a full quote and a price - highly competitive. With me agreeing to what needed to be done, he ordered the part (Saturday) and came back the next day (Sunday) to install it. Incredibly helpful and so polite, he showed me the new part, walked me through what he was going to do and afterward even showed me the part he removed and explained the wear and why it was actually perfect timing. Within hours I was up and running again, good as new. I have NEVER had service like this from a dealership in all my years of being a car owner and driver (and that's several decades). Will also flagged other things that I needed to be aware of (including needing an oil change - which I will be getting him to come and do) but at no point pushed for me to do them there and then - zero pressure, just guidance. He repeatedly asked if I had any questions and was keen for me to understand what was happening and why - superb! He even cleared up the work area after he'd finished. Flawless. Aside from the convenience and Will just being an incredibly nice guy, his attention to detail and service are second to none. Friendly and knowledgable, he works hard to make sure you understand what he's doing, and is professional and polite at every step along the way. Will clearly cares and takes great pride in what he does. He's the only person I will be going to for my automotive service needs from now on. Highly recommended.
