Found this shop thru Yelp and SUPER happy I did!…read more My car was diagnosed by a local mechanic to have a faulty transmission. I took my car in and the owner Joe was extremely helpful, honest and really knows his stuff! He explained to me the different possible scenarios and involved me in every step of his diagnostic. (I even went with him on his test drive! Super smart dude!) My car ended up not having a transmission issue but rather a engine misfire, caused by a faulty gasket. After being misdiagnosed, any dishonest transmission shop could have taken advantage. Not Joe! I saved a ton of money and he gained a life long customer. Also! He sends you videos of the repair process just like the dealer! Super cool!

When you take your car to a shop for repair, the best you could hope for is that the shop you take…read moreit to treats you fairly, does a good job, and they respect you and your situation. The last thing you hope for, is that they only want to get as much money as possible from you and they have little concern for you as a customer. I wouldn't recommend bringing your car here because my experience was bad, and I'll explain why. I'll also recommend the transmission shop that worked out well for me. I usually start any repair by calling a few shops to see if a shop can do the job and what they estimate the cost to be. When I called Transmission Super Shop, I talked to the Owner Joe. And He didn't remember that I had called for a quote about my coolant system months ago, and he had given me a quote on transmission.. The previous quote I got was $5500. And during this call he was quoting upwards of $6000. It was easily a 15-20minute call, because I was driving from Downtown to Santa Monica and I was parking in Santa Monica when we concluded. Most of the discussion was him explaining to me why it was so expensive. I could tell he was upselling me from the previous time we spoke. And it concluded with me saying, "Well I simply don't have a budget for that amount" A few minutes later, He texted me back, saying that he would do the job for $3500. I will include Screenshots. Already, I would consider prices that are based on the amount of money the customer has, a "Yellow Flag" if not a "Red Flag". But after discussing it with him, it sounded more like he was scaling the type of work to fit my needs. He was willing to do a repair, rather than a replacement. And seeing as how they are a transmission shop that specializes in that type of work, it made sense that they would be willing and able to do that. I said, I would think about it and get back to him. At the time, I was considering selling the car, and My lease was up on my place, so I had to consider the added costs of moving. Tough Choice. I did some budgeting, and Messaged him a few days later and he said that the price was only good for that week. Which, okay, that sets off some warning signals. Why would the price change in a week? Sort of seems like a tactic to pressure the customer into doing the job... And it was. But, I thought about it and later that week I asked him if I could bring it in on the following monday because rent was due and it would work better if I waited till another pay check. He didn't remember our conversation. He asked what it was about, and he said he deleted the conversation. I totally get it, customers come and go and you deal with a lot of people, but it wasn't the best customer service. You would hope that if someone gives you a week to decide, that when you call back later that week they would still remember the ultimatum that forced you to consider rearranging your life to meet. But as it turns out, that's not the kind of customer service and consideration that Transmission Super Shop Offers. It was inconvenient to him. He said it was okay to bring the car in on that date. When the date came, I actually texted to ask if I could bring the car in earlier. Once again He didnt remember. And he said it would take 2 weeks. Which was different than what he had said earlier. So I asked why. He no longer wanted to do the job. But you should read the text messages and get a feel for the customer service and get a sense of his thought processes and mine. Decide for yourself what you think of it. But I'll give you my impression and my takeaway, because that's what a yelp review is. An account of my experience of a business. As a means of helping other people with their big decisions when considering that business. My impression of Joe and the Transmission Super shop.... They want your money, they want you in and out. Don't ask questions. Don't be inconvenient. Don't waste their time. Every conversation was actually a negotiation. RECAP: 1. I called for a quote and he didnt remember the previous quote and raised the price. 2. I didnt have the money, so he made me an offer, but said it was only good for that week. 3. I asked if I could bring it in early, he said no, & it would take 2 weeks 4. I ask why, and he says he doesn't want to do the job anymore. But as a customer, I was always acting on the information from our previous exchange. And each time he didnt remember and changed the situation and seemed annoyed by my questions. In his mind, he's giving me a deal and I should just bring it in no questions asked. He wasn't understanding of my situation. For me it was a months rent trying to save the life of my car, for him it was annoying. When your mechanic is annoyed that you have questions, its a problem.

I'm updating this review because the business response is misleading…read more I have a voicemail from Steve clearly stating that they did not want to get involved with my vehicle because another shop had already worked on it and he did not want me to possibly "get upset at them too." That was the exact reasoning given. This was not about warranty. It was not about saving me money. I was fully prepared to pay for an inspection or any necessary correction. I was simply asking for a professional second opinion. If a shop refuses work because they're concerned a customer might "get upset," that raises serious questions about confidence in their own work. A reputable shop stands behind its skills and diagnoses issues regardless of who previously touched the vehicle. Changing the explanation publicly after the fact does not reflect well. I stand by what I said. I had a very disappointing experience at Automotive Instincts in Northridge. I called and spoke with Steve about looking at my car after another shop had worked on it, and he basically told me they didn't want to touch it because another shop already did the work. His reasoning was that he didn't want me to "get upset at them too." That makes absolutely no sense. As a customer, I'm simply looking for a professional second opinion or proper correction if something wasn't done right. Refusing to even inspect the vehicle just because another shop previously worked on it feels unprofessional and dismissive. Cars get worked on by multiple shops all the time -- that's normal. Turning someone away out of fear of a bad review instead of standing behind your own skills says a lot. Very disappointing customer service. I expected more professionalism and confidence from a shop with such high ratings.

Referred by a friend of a friend, both of whom live in my neighborhood, when I needed an oil change…read moreand my regular shop was unable to take me. From the first phone call to check availability, I was met with professionalism and kindness by Julie. She got me in the books and 90 minutes later I was pulling in for my appointment. Julie set right to work with questions about my vehicle. What type of oil had I been using? Ummm...the brown one??? LOL No worries she would look it up and they would use manufacturer recommended. Additionally, she would have the tech run a check for any code alerts in the car. Now that everything is connected to on board electronics, this type of a check is standard, but I didn't know that and I should be aware if the manufacturer is flagging anything this way. In the end, no flags detected! This is a family run operation that's been in business for over 33 years. Julie was so great at getting my intake paperwork completed and into the queue. Hubs came with and we sat down in their comfortable waiting area. Another person was waiting, a young lady, pleasantly engaging with Julie btwn incoming phone calls. The young lady and her family have been coming to 60 Minute Tune for years and only trust them with their vehicles. In addition to that endorsement, we looked at pictures everywhere of - cue REM & Kate Pierson - happy, shiny people: customers (and their pets!) that are such an important part of 60 Minute Tune, they honor them on the walls of their business. While we waited, Julie made a point of getting to know us while fielding calls in a pleasant and familiar voice to customers calling for appointments or status of cars being worked on. Nosey Gladys Kravits that I am, I listened and appreciated how easily she spoke of what was being worked on, describing things like alternators and how they work, but not saying more than a mechanic had finalized on a particular job, so as to not misinform them. The oil change took less than and hour and was in line with the cost of previous oil changes. By the time the paperwork was completed, we had a plan of staying on top of the oil consumption of my Hyundai, which is known to have a habit of burning oil quickly, in order to get that situation rectified. I left feeling a weight had been lifted from my shoulders and I had a new auto shop to rely on. Thanks, Julie! You're a gem and a great representative of 60 Minute Tune. Cheers! "CC"

After getting a routine oil change at the Acura dealer where I bought my 2018 MDX, they did a…read morediagnostic on the vehicle and determined that I needed quite a few items replaced because of routine wear & tear or scheduled maintenance. The items ranged from replacing stabilizer and control arm bars to replacing my timing belt, replacing the transmission fluid and replacing spark plugs. The estimate was ridiculous! For a car that only had 51K, which is only driven approx. 1800 miles a year and was in great excellent condition I thought I should get another opinion. I took it to David at 60 Minute Tune in Granada Hills, CA who initially mentioned over the phone that some items would be covered with my extended warranty with Acura (something Acura didn't acknowledge) and after doing a diagnostic at his shop he said that I didn't need anything done for at least another year. Not only was his initial estimate considerably cheaper than Acura, but he had an enormous amount of intergrity in advising that we didn't need anything done (yet). It was extremely refreshing to see a business who put the customer before themself and who operates with such honesty! I would definitely recommend getting your car serviced by them and will take the car back in a year for a fresh maintenance evaluation.
