Well..........I took my car to Sean's auto car because my heater wouldn't get warm. He offered me a loaner vehicle, which I declined. Huge mistake on my part, I should have taken it because it took 3 weeks to get my car back. Once the repairs were complete ($4600), I was told they broke my dipstick tube. Ian told me they fixed the damage and consider it as a free oil change. Not exactly free when I had to pay for the oil and filter, which was replaced a week prior. I also got a call that my rear passenger window dropped (was not an issue when I took it to the shop) and would no longer go up or down. Ian told me they would fix it for another $500. To make matters worse, my DPF light illuminated on my dash. When I got home, I noticed greasy fingerprints on interior of the car, and they also tore a hole on the drivers seat and did a poor job repairing it. Needless to say, I took my car to the dealer to fix the window, and dfp issue that arose while my car was at Sean's. The dealer repaired my car properly. I would never take my car or recommend this mechanic. The cost of repairs is comparable to VW dealerships. The diagnosis, punctuality, and repair was far superior at the dealership, thus my car will be going there from this point forward. Update.....I now have a coolant leak as a result of the job performed by Sean's. I took my car to the dealership to get it properly repaired. I'm aware the repair is covered by some sort of "warranty" provided by Sean's, but I still felt that taking it the dealership,and having it properly repaired will give me peace of mind.

My car stopped working early March 2020. It had engine head gasket and more issues internally. I almost lost hope it'd work again but Sean generously offered to fix it in June. Thank you @seansautocare team for going above and beyond blessing me and for being an answer to my prayers. Helped with paint job and chrome H. Incredible timely and communicative service. Amazing team serving with honesty, integrity, and joy.

So let me start off by saying if you value your money and time then don't take your car nowhere near this damn place. I took my car here for the first couple of times and thought they were helping me. Turns out they weren't. I had to get an engine coolant sensor replaced and a leak detection pump fixed and he charged me 2000$ to fix. Most of it was just on labor alone. For my starter replacement he charged me 1000$, then for a break vacuum pump replacement he quoted me 2600 through text and said the labor would be 2100. That's when I knew this shop was just plain shady and thieves. They try to act like they're there to help you and look out for you but they're not. On top of that they used my car to call around and get quotes for the repairs because they're "competitive". Never heard of a shop doing that before. Once I told him I'd take my car elsewhere he insisted on keeping me as a customer and he'd lower that repair cost to 1400 total. He went from 2600 to 1400 once he found out I wasn't trying to pay that much money. I even called the Volkswagen dealer yall and got a quote from them!! I told Sean what the quote was and he called me a liar and said there is no way and that Volkswagen was lying to me when I was just on the phone with them. If you take your car here don't just agree to whatever price they say, call around and get different quotes. Because these ppl WILL lie and scam you. I've never written a review before but this place deserves this one for-sure. If you're a Christ believer don't fall for it, they claim they believe in god, but try to charge 2100 in labor for a job that doesn't even cost that much.They don't have any certificated technicians there and Sean just mentioned he is barely returning back to the shop after 4 years, so I'm not even sure if he knows what he's fully doing. With all this being said please avoid this shop at all cost and save your money!!!

He is SO thorough and SO knowledgeable that I felt absolutely secure in my purchase after he inspected it. He is professional, friendly, fast, and explains every step so you understand what you're getting and what to expect. He made the whole experience wonderful and I would recommend his service to anyone who needs a mobile car inspection! A+! * my son wanted me to add: Would totally Recommend! I value how Kind He was!!

From the beginning, Adam has been incredibly responsive and communicative. He follows up, explains everything thoroughly, provides amazing detailed photos, and most importantly, gives his honest and genuine opinion. As a parent looking for a safe and reliable vehicle for our child, that means everything. I truly felt like Adam was evaluating the car as carefully as he would if he were buying it for his own child. With 30 years of experience, Adam is also an incredible resource for anyone shopping for a used car in the San Fernando Valley. His knowledge goes far beyond simply inspecting the vehicle. He knows the local dealerships, understands the industry and the people in it, and can provide valuable perspective on CARFAX reports--including what they tell you and, just as importantly, what they may not tell you. Having Adam involved gave us an extra level of confidence and protection during what can be a stressful car-buying process. His experience, integrity, attention to detail, and willingness to explain everything are invaluable. I would absolutely recommend Adam to anyone considering a used vehicle, especially parents purchasing a car for a new driver. We will certainly be using him again for any future vehicle purchases. He is truly a fantastic resource for the San Fernando Valley!

I am very disappointed with my inspection today. First of all, I asked on the phone and again when…read morePeter was at the car...if he would inspect under the car. He said he would, but he did not. His version of an under the car inspection was sticking his cell phone under the edges of the car and taking a photo. He certainly didn't crawl under and take a look. He made more of an effort to connect with the seller, than me, the buyer and person who hired him. He completed the inspection in 20 minutes and it certainly wasn't worth $200. It was anything but thorough. He said he was mostly inspecting cosmetics and basic function, which I said I could do. I asked him to share with me what he was inspecting as he went along, and he declined to do that. Honestly, he seemed to be in a hurry. Lastly, although I was told I would be getting all the photos the inspector took, absolutely none none of them are in the report. I do not recommend him and would never use him again!

I placed an order on their website for a pre-purchase inspection and they were able to come out to meet the seller of the vehicle the next day. After the inspection, the inspector gave me a call with his findings and overall impression of the vehicle . The day after the inspection, a written report and a numerous inspection photos were available on the order page of their website. The written report specifically covered the following areas: Road Test, Engine & Mechanical, Suspension & Undercarriage, Tires & Brakes, Exterior & Body Condition. The level of detail in the report and the number of photos provided was satisfactory. Overall, it was a good overall experience and I'm happy with the service provided and with the vehicle I purchased. Why did I not give a full five stars? First, I believe a whining transmission noise they noted in their report was misdiagnosed. It seems to have been caused by the car's AC compressor that progressively whined louder before eventually failing during the fifth drive after purchase. Second, the report indicated that the transmission was leak free but I've found the slightest pooling of transmission fluid in my garage since the first day I purchased the car. Lastly, minor details seemed to be missed like missing roof weather strips/mouldings, a detached fog lamp, and sanding/repair work done on the rear bumper and rear fenders. If they had the means to diagnose the whining noise further and offered that as an add-on package, I probably would have availed and subsequently provided a higher rating.

Over the past 10 years, I've bought and sold many vehicles and worked with over 20 inspectors. Their job is to meticulously examine the car and deliver a detailed report to the buyer. Unfortunately, my experience with Steve was far from satisfactory. He arrived 20 minutes late and took over three hours to inspect the car. After checking my security footage, I saw he spent much of the time doing little, sitting in the car with the AC on, and repeatedly revving the engine. He also left fingerprints all over the vehicle during his inspection. I've worked with numerous inspectors and respect their expertise, but Steve's conduct was unprofessional. He even interrupted my wife, who was working from home, to have her come out and activate the turn signals to verify they worked--an absurd request for a supposed professional. Rather than providing a thorough inspection, Steve seemed more focused on driving the car and offering subjective opinions, like stating the car was "uncomfortable" and not ideal for long drives. A quick look at his past reviews reveals similar complaints. While his rates may be lower than those of a qualified mechanic or inspector, you get what you pay for. He left a mess on the passenger seat and called me with basic questions, such as why a red light indicated an open door, which any competent inspector should know. I'm writing this to spare others the frustration. For a reliable inspection, invest in a professional--it's worth the extra cost. I will not permit Steve to inspect any of my vehicles in the future.
