Chris is amazing!! Living in the valley, it gets really hot during summer times, so having a working air conditioner is absolutely essential in my car. My air conditioner in my Honda civic suddenly gave out in the middle of driving, and it was about 97 degrees outside. I had to search for a nearby autobody shop ASAP nearby who can fix it, and Van Nuys Autoworks did just that. They are just in the heart of ven nuys and I needed a auto mechanic fast so I called Chris and he booked me an appointment. Chris was the one who worked on it, and he did an excellent job, because my air conditioner works better than it did before it broke down. I guess my air conditioner was overdue for maintenance, because not only is it cooler, but it blows air stronger, and makes less noise. This place is convenient for me too, because it's located right in the middle of my work in North Hollywood, and my home in Encino.  I would only to this mechanic for all oil changes ,brake repair and alignment needs from now on. read more

Great customer service, very knowledgeable. Also, the prices were very reasonable. Unlike the other places, they did not try to trick me in changing more thing. This is the only mechanic shop that showed good faith in dealing with their customers. Thanks again. read more

The mechanics at Van Nuys Autoworks took real good care of me! The service was quick, honest and truly so helpful. Alex explained to me the procedure for their safety inspection, that btw comes with a purchase of an oil change. what I can recall is that they do tire rotation as well free of charge with an oil change. Thank you for helping a car newb like me! read more

What can I say, Alex and his team are one of the nicest, more straightforward auto mechanics I have ever has the pleasure to work with. Honest, reasonably priced and always with a smile. Thanks guys, my Porsche has a new home read more

Very professional very good price for me number one in the valley thank you Chris Alex

THEY WERE FANTASTIC! They all were very friendly and got my brakes and lights checked out very fast! ARAM , who helped me was very throughly explaining everything and was super friendly, thank you guys for making an annoying errand, easy and painless! 10/10 will go back! read more

Great service, wonderful people, highly recommend this place!!! My car died right in front of their shop on a Sunday afternoon, they were not even open but took my car in anyway, diagnosed, gave me an estimate within a few min, and gave me a ride home as the part needed could not be purchased on a Sunday. The next day Chris called me to say the car was fixed first thing in the morning. I am very impressed and highly recommend his place to anybody. They are good, caring people and their service and expertize are just incredible and the prices are very reasonable. I am a happy new customer and will recommend this place to my friends who live in the area. read more

My car needed some work after it wouldn't start last night. A man in the Christmas spirit gave us a jump start. I did a couple of searches online for a local mechanic, and my experience was reflective of what everyone on yelp has said. Chris assisted us, verified the trouble then let us know what was likely needed. The shop was packed this day after Christmas, despite that a couple of hours later my car was ready and the cost was definitely reasonable. They even took care of some small annoying issues, a inside light and my brake light. I am very relieved to have found such a good shop close to home! read more

I Love this place. The whole team is amazing and Chris especially goes the extra mile for customer service. These guys are honest, helpful and they do great work on my car! I wish I could say more, but the other glowing reviews do a better job and everything they say is true. I'm so happy I found them! :) read more

These guys have won over my business! My steering seemed loose so I took my car into Pep Boys where I've always gone. They quoted me upwards of $1100 to replace both lower control arms for my steering and to get an alignment. I wanted a second opinion so I took my car into Van Nuys Autoworks. They said I didn't need to replace any parts at all and that I just needed an alignment! Wow! I feel cheated by Pep Boys taking advantage of someone that doesn't know much about car repair. I will come back to Van Nuys Autoworks again and again for everything that both of my cars need. read more

What a great bunch of guys. I was referred to them by the smog place next door and was so very happy to find them. They are nice guys and reasonable with their rates. They even bear with you when you want to watch what they're doing. I have a volvo and I'm used to toyotas/hondas so I learned a lot about my beast in just one oil change! I highly recommend these guys if you enjoy that feeling of NOT being ripped off. read more

Aram is a pretty cool guy, came in for my light and break inspection and he got it done in about 15-20 minutes. Prices are pretty good too.

Honestly, this is truly the best autoworks shop in town. I am an owner of a 2004 Cadillac CTS and I have been coming here for over 5 years now. I've never had an issue with the work done on my car which is surprising compared to most of the stories I hear from friends who have dealt with other shops. The prices are more than fair, especially for how experienced and knowledgeable these guys are. Like I said, they've worked on my CTS more times than I can count on 2 hands and I've even sent them referrals, one of which had a JEEP. My buddy with a JEEP is now also a loyal customer. Chris is one of the most well rounded mechanics so don't be afraid to ask questions. Great service, extremely fast turnover, and great prices. They WILL take care of you! read more

Chris and his crew are amazing!!! They do honest and reliable work on my Audi TT and my fiancée's BMW 6 series. We have been going to them for 3 years and have always been seen quickly. read more

A great little gem tucked away in the Valley. The employees were extremely helpful and friendly (I didn't get any names). I dropped the car off and said I'd pick it up later (I live a few miles from there) and they had offered to give me a ride back. Oil change and tire rotation was done in no time and was reasonably priced. Parking/navigating in their lot is a bit like playing Tetris with cars, but the employees are more than accommodating to help you get in and out. Will certainly be returning for all future car needs. read more

Every time I come here they not only get the job done right the first time. But the best thing is you get threaded like family here. First thing they do is let you know was going on because they go over your car regarding if it's oil change or anything at all got to Love that. I always leave knowing my truck was in great hands from my tire air to my oils everything on point. I rather pay for good service then going back for the same problem to several people before it gets fixed right. read more

Aram was very professional, got me in and out in no time with fixing my issue. They have great prices and they work hard.

Every time I have come here I received wonderful service. They are quick, friendly, and answer all of my questions. Very well priced, too.

I came in all frantic because my car started making a scary noise, although I did not get work done there, they saw me right away, immediately started assessing the problem, figured it out in 15 min. and were willing to to give me a great price and come in on their day off. Wonderful mechanic. I would have gave them my business if my mother didn't want me to go to our family friend. Honest and good hearted people. read more

great place, great service, quick and easy! came here for oil changes and they don't let you leave until they check all other oils in your car and make sure you tire pressure is A-OK! Will keep coming back. read more

Not good. They're always rushing, they barely fit you in. I had to come in twice to then finally be taken in for an oil change. Worst part is they left the nozel for and oil change in the hood of my car so it was making my car make all these bad noises and scratching up the parts in it. Who knows what could have happened but it's good I caught it in time. Don't recommend. read more

These guys are the best. They do amazing work and they try and keep the cost down. They also get the job done quick. No other place I'd go but here. read more

Been coming here for a while for my old school Scion xB. Quick and painless every time!

UNBELIEVABLE service. I have never gotten such fast, and GOOD Service from a repair shop in my life. They even drove me to a local Starbucks so i can get my work done while they repaired my car. Works great now and so glad my friend referred me here ! Thanks much and will definately use you guys again! read more

Their service is excellent and the rates are very reasonable compared to other places I have taken my car to in the past. I live close by and they have even offered to take me home! I love these guys! read more

Chris is great...I brought my car here to check the front-end.....service was prompt, friendly and professional and I'll be back if I have another issue! read more

Alex and Chris are amazing! We took our Ford Escape here for brakes and an oil change. They are honest with what they tell you and that's hard to find in a mechanic. I'm glad to say that we have found our mechanic that we will be using from now on. read more

Still the best auto repair shop I've ever been too! Alex and Chris are an amazing team, and their staff is top notch. I've been here with multiple cars over the last year and referred every single one of my family and friends to this place. They all sing their praises as well. Don't hesitate to come here with any car needs. read more

affordable prices & great customer service. Honest mechanics. And most important, quality work. I'll be going back for all my auto needs.

Easy to work with. Cool staff and scheduled my porsche very fast for both oil change and tire rotation. Glad I found them as I have gone to other service shops and they were over charging me and wanted to do extra work. Will be back read more

Amazing service Amazing prices Amazing people! Called 2 other places before I called this place, and the other places had over an hour wait for a simple oil change. Gave them a call and they told me to come right in! Treated me like family from the moment I walked in, and it only took them 15 mins to do! THANK YOU ALEX!!! He was FANTASTIC, along with Chris, the guy at the counter. SUCH great people who work as efficiently as they are friendly, not to mention affordable ^_^ I love when quality service and quality people go hand in hand and you leave feeling completely satisfied. It's nice to have a place you can go to and trust, finally. They DEFINITELY made a lifetime customer out of me! read more

i highly recommend these guys. their a great one stop auto shop, they do it all, I've been specifically looking for an honest and friendly shop i can come too, and Chris was more then helpful, their fast friendly service definitely made me a return customer, thanks again guys. read more

Very nice, honest and helpful! I will bring my car in for any future mechanic work I need! Friendly as well, thank you for your service!

I selected this place for my oil change because of the great yelp reviews I saw & it definitely lived up to the 5 star rating. I was in and out quickly, the employees were kind and efficient, and my oil change was extremely reasonably priced. I'll definitely be going back here. read more

Took my car to Chris for a smog check, great service, super fast & affordable ~ thanks mate

Really friendly and super fast Smog service. I wouldn't have normally thought to come here, but based on a referral from another shop in the area came and was in and out in minutes. Will totally return. read more

Fast service, good deal on synthetic oil change. Will come back again

Just found Van Nuys Autoworks and Chris is great. I feel like I found an honest mechanic who does a great job with reasonable rates and I couldn't be happier! read more

Got an oil change here, great service, easy in and out. Would recommend!

Great spot, so glad I found it. The squeezed me in for an alignment fix + oil change within 15 minutes of my call, plus the prices were REALLLY reasonable. Ended up needing new tires too (I knew this going in - and had planned to order them online so they were cheaper at a later day) - this spot had the same pricing I'd seen online from tirebuyer.com and could get them on site and on my car within 24 hours. Done deal. Will definitely be back. read more
