Transmission Repair in Northridge, CA

“I found Automotive Instincts through reviews online and was very satisfied with the service. I needed to replace some spark plugs and do a valve adjustment on my 2009 Honda Fit. I spoke to Danny who was very helpful and got me an appointment the next day. He was thorough in the initial discovery and explained all of the work that was done after. The place seemed pretty busy, but was really well run. I will be coming back for any future work.”

“I purchased a remanufactured transmission from Sun Valley in 2024 for my 1998 W163 ML 320, which is my personal daily driver. The transmission started failing before the warranty expired and I notified Marc about the issue via email. Marc immediately replied without question or hesitation that he would be happy to send me a replacement. It was about as trouble, free and painless of a process as it could be. I am retired from the automotive repair business for dealerships, (not MB), and understand that man made things break, so definitely understanding of this failure. I was more worried about how it would be handled. Again, it could not have been handled any better by Sun Valley and Marc. The replacement transmission arrived at my repair shop with no issues. I really want to commend Marc and his business on how I was treated as a customer, I was definitely treated right. I highly recommend that if you have an older Mercedes-Benz vehicle and it needs a remanufactured transmission, to purchase it from Sun Valley Mercedes Transmissions.”

“I highly recommend this guys. Definitely the best mechanics I've come across. They are now my go to in the event of assistance. After having my starter replaced on a 2006 Armada I definitely give Ivan props. This is a very tough engine since he had to literally take the whole thing apart to get to the starter. And best of all I did not need to get it towed it definitely another plus. Ivan also explained everything in detail.”

“What a great shop. I was visiting my son who lives in the area. His 1954 Chevy truck had a front brake issue and needed immediate attention. Me being from Oregon I had no idea where would be the best place to take it. I found Ben's shop on line and all the reviews were positive so I brought it to Ben. He diagnosed the issue quickly and let me know what it needed. The truck was finished fast and efficiently. I told my son if he needs any work on any of his cars Ben is the guy and shop to come to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ben and his brake master shop to anyone needing quality workmanship at a decent price.
I can't thank you enough Ben for taking the truck in and getting it back on the road”

“Al and his team do an amazing job, my father has been bringing our family cars to Al for some time now, after Al fixes them they run like they're brand new. Had him replace my struts and shocks and the work was done in amazingly quick timing. I Highly recommend Chatsworth Transmission”

“Russ' Transmission is the best. The manager, Mike, is friendly and honest, showing the cost for everything and taking the time to explain exactly what was done. My car is running better than ever. I highly recommend Russ' for anyone serious about getting their vehicle repaired.”

“If you're looking for good honest mechanics, look no further! Experienced, knowledgeable, and honest. Gene took his time listening to my issue, and was thorough in what it's potential fixes could be. He's the service manager, and David, the mechanic, exceeded my expectations in taking his time diagnosing the issue, and coming up with the solution that was WAAAY cheaper than I ever could have expected. They definitely earned 100% of my future business! I will not be taking my Cadillac anywhere else!”
