Worst place ever I don t recommend anyone to come here. I came in yesterday to get a smog test for my car and they left my car hood opened and didn t close it correctly and when I left it opened and broke and creaked my windshield and I came back to let them know didnt want to take responsibility for it. In the camera footage it shows them opening my hood. The owner is rude and yelled and didn t care

Wow, what a waste of time. I run a business myself so I try to never leave reviews unless it s important. Maybe this guy should get a receptionist or even a notebook. He doesn t do appointments and says, just come in, it s first come first serve. Then you say your coming in and he tell you well he might be busy. So i go in first thing the next morning as we discussed and he tells me he can t inspect my car because the tires are too big and he can t take them off. They are 30 inch tires, I m not in a monster truck. Not to mention I told him exactly what type of truck I was bringing. Wasted an hour both ways driving to get told no in less than 30 seconds and zero explanation.I will never come back to this shop ever.

Had a car inspected by Val and could not believe what he found. This is truly a gem of a shop and Val is very easy to work with. Price for the inspection was better than other shops around, and he even ran smog to see if it would pass. Thanks again, Val!

I am a 44 year shop owner from Palm Springs. My Son lives in Glendale so, I needed to find someone I could trust to tell me what is going on and Val s is that shop. Honest, courteous , knowledgeable as well as overly fair pricing. I would highly recommend this shop for all your car s needs. Take it from me. Val is a rare find. Use this shop!!!Service: General repairs & maintenance

I really like these mechanics. They are a duo team. Very attentive. Always check all points of my car for me. When doing oil changes, they check my suspension, fill all the fluids. I appreciate their work. It's how it should be done. I live in LA and drive to Glendale just to have them take care of my car. Thanks guys

The owner is rude, sneaky. and dishonest,and the quality of job is horrible and sometimes they try to rip you off . doing unnecessary things. and charging you more.I changed my car,s oil a few weeks ago and the owner kept pushing to fix the brakes at the front ,but he was lying ,there was nothing wrong with the brakes because,I had it checked a week before at another place and they assured me that the brakes are in a good shape.All in all, I recommend not to use their service if you don,t know anything about cars .

worst mechanic shop ever!!!! Took my 2009 toyota camry there, and I just wanted to replace the front struds (reminder: I already bought the struds from auto zone so all they had to do was to replace them) and they charged me $600 for it. Wow!! Bunch of scamers and liers, and dishonest people. They are rude as well. I will Never come back here.

The Mazda dealership said I needed new brake pads and rotors front and rear. $1100.00 total cost.Val inspected and said the front pads are still 90% and fine, rear just needed pads and grinding. $186.00!Val saved me over $900!!

4.5 stars, came here last year. Val explained to me what my older vehicle needed to pass the smog test. Very helpful, I appreciate your service. I came back with my dailt driver and they got me out in 10 minutes. Best part is thwt Val's is a few vlocks away from AAA, that's where I go to get my registration tags for my vehicles.

I called this place to check their hours of operation. I arrived 1 hour prior to closing. The person behind the counter said they were closing early. I drove from Pasadena and made arrange to leave work early. Only to be denied service! Horrible customer service.

I swear no one works here. Every time I have ever come to get a smog check I have to wait for Val to show up. He takes forever and is super rude. Go anywhere else.
