“Chubby’s Automotive in Sylmar brought my car back from two years of frustration and disappointment.

Our ’41 (Sweet November) had bounced between a couple of shops, with promises that never panned out and issues that were never truly fixed. It wasn’t until we took the ‘41 to Chubby’s that things changed. He found the real problems, fixed them correctly, and did it without trying to nickel-and-dime us.

Lately there’s been a rise in social media posts about shops keeping cars for months or years, or constantly asking for more money in pieces. That was NOT the case here. Chubby represents the heart of the Bomb community: honest work, fair pricing, and a real focus on getting your ride back on the boulevard.

When my wife and I picked up Sweet November, we were nervous to drive after everything we’d been through. A few blocks in, we could feel the difference. The car finally rode the way it was meant to.

Huge thanks to Chubby and his son for their expertise, honesty, and care. They did what others couldn’t.

Btw, I know this review is focused on a classic, but in this industry it’s easy to get taken advantage of when you have to rely on someone else’s expertise. A true master mechanic (like Chubby) can bring ANY ride back to where it belongs.”

“I stopped by United early in the morning to pick up some parts and had a great experience. Ralph was extremely helpful from start to finish and made the entire process quick and hassle-free. They had everything I needed and I was in and out in no time.
If you're looking for truck parts I highly recommend
United.”

“To say Roxanne and her team were amazing is an absolute understatement! Following my car accident—a deeply stressful and vulnerable time—they stepped in with unparalleled professionalism, flawless communication, and top-tier customer service. They made an incredibly difficult process feel completely seamless. What truly sets them apart is their genuine compassion; they made me feel cared for as a person, not just a client. I honestly don't think I could have gotten through this without them. They deserve the highest recognition for their expertise, dedication, and integrity. Thank you all for your honest, life-changing work! ❤‍🩹”

“Best experience with a diesel repair shop I've ever had. Was traveling from Arizona with my Ford F250 Super Duty towing my camper to Six Flags Magic Mountain area when my truck started to run rough with power issues. After reading reviews, I called Top Notch Diesel Repair and happy I did. Jay was very responsive and accommodating to schedule a time to meet for a diagnosis. Diagnosis was thorough and codes were explained in detail. Was fuel injector #4. Jay worked with Car Shield to get the repair approved right there and even drove me to Enterprise so I could pick up a rental. My truck was dropped off Wednesday morning and finished by Friday morning. Extremely happy with my experience with Top Notch Diesel and would definitely recommend!”

“I went to get my bumper repaired today, to get the left side bracket removed & put on a new one. Hector didn't event want to charge me for the job, stating it wasn't difficult. Now, honestly, how many mechanics do you know who would do that? Of course I insisted on paying him something for his time & work & he graciously accepted. People, if ur looking for an honest mechanic who knows what they're doing, is courtesy & not going to rip u off, go straight to J&A Auto Repair & u will be happy u did.”

“These guys are awesome! I pulled in with my truck shortly before closing while towing a trailer on vacation with my wife and 8-year-old. One of the bolts on my rear brakes had fallen out, and without their help, we likely would have been stuck on the side of the road all night waiting for a shop to open and the necessary parts to arrive.

They called several places, tracked down the exact bolt I needed, and got me safely back on the road. While I was there, I also asked them to change the oil. Instead of simply taking my money, they checked it and honestly told me I was nowhere near needing an oil change yet.

That kind of honesty and customer service is hard to find these days. Thank you all for your hard work and for going above and beyond to help my family!”

“The serpentine belt blew out as we were leaving Southern California, causing a domino effect of issues in the car while on Interstate 5. Luckily this all happened right by the freeway exit and I was able to wrestle the car to the repair shop where the associates did an amazing repair. They were able to rush the parts we needed within an hour and get us on our way again. Great service and reasonable pricing.”

“I came here because of the great reviews, and they were absolutely right! Cesar is honest, fair, and truly knows what he’s doing. Him and his team did an amazing job on my 2014 Toyota Camry with over 200k miles. After the transmission rebuild, my car runs like a charm. I’m beyond grateful for the quality of work and transparency. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy service!”

“I've been a customer at Auto Mechanic of Sylmar since 2000. Long enough for owner J.R. to call me family. That aside, it's been 26 years of excellent service. I moved out of the Sylmar area, but I still bring my cars to J.R. for everything from oil changes to major repairs. You won't find a better shop on the block.”

“Josh is truly a wizard when it comes to Jeeps—especially XJs. I’m pretty mechanically inclined myself, but there are certain things I prefer to leave to the pros, and I’m glad I found Josh at Mazzotti Auto. After installing a long arm kit on my XJ, Josh got everything dialed in perfectly with a full front-end alignment and properly setting the axle.

My XJ now drives straight as an arrow. He also gave me a few solid suggestions I’m working on correcting now. Timely service, fair pricing, and even better workmanship.

Thank you, Mazzotti Auto!”

“I would recommend this place to everyone. Factory trained technicians with the latest and greatest tools and equipment but also the knowledge and know-how to fix older cars. Brought my wife's Audi in with electrical issues or what I thought was electrical issues. Turned out to be a something that if I neglected would have destroyed my car, and they had the know how to fix the problem at a reasonable cost.

They also repaired my vehicle since it failed smog and after i got it back, it ran better than i could have imagined.

They also do alignment, electrical, drivetrain, and engine repairs.”

“The guys at Kandy Shop customs are the real deal. They help with it all. Above and beyond service. Make sure they are your #1 after an accident or other body repair needs. Johnny is the nicest person I've met in this industry.”

“Brian and his team were amazing. I am very impressed with the work done on my car and with the great customer service I received. It was a quick and easy process so if you need a body shop come get car work done at Magic Auto Body and ask for Brian.”

“Great service, variety of tires and prices and excellent attitude. We bought four tires for my son’s car and they balance them out super fast and installed the tires in less than one hour. They are very friendly and their office is very clean. Highly recommended.”

“I found my new auto repair and oil change place. Took my car already 3 times for different stuff and I am so happy with the quality of the work. I have a Scion TC changed my shocks, struts, brakes and oil change. Professional , knowledgeable, and honest. I will definitely recomend this place to my friends and family.”
