    (Serviced 09/12/18 WE @ 1:00pm): I guess "A" & "R" stood for "Auto Repair"; uncreative name aside, the service certainly spoke for itself! Thanks to a recently pleasant experience a friend of mine had when she took her car in based on a friend of her's high recommendations, I had to give A & R Auto Repair a shot. My driver side front window had been acting wonky the entire year and knew it was only a matter of time befor something wicked this way came...and it did at one of the most inopportune times in my life. With a window stuck down in the continued searing heat, no safe place to leave it, and really needed my Brave Little Toaster for work and such, I was at the mercy of this local mom & pop auto mechanic garage. Would this be a success story with a happy ending!? PURCHASE Replacement OE Complete Window Regulator W/Motor U.C. ($124.76): Honestly, the price sounded like a good deal; and truly..what were my options at this dire point in time!? Labor ($140.00): Wherever you went and whatever you did, labor was always way more than the parts needed. The fact that this was close in price to the cost of the part, I was pleasantly surprised. SERVICE From my initial phone call, follow-up phone call, dropped-off process, updated phone call that my baby was ready, to the picked-up process (4 hours later!), Harry was on top of everything and couldn't have been more courteous, informative, professional, and understanding. Plus, the overall bill seemed very reasonable on such short notice. He and his business was another perfect example how Yelp can help the small businesses through real reviews and positive word-of-mouth. Harry was every bit a magician for me on this day and would definitely return with my car! PARKING (FREE) There was plenty of timed and non-timed street parking along the main drag of Glenoaks Blvd. as well as all residential side streets. In my particular case, I dropped off the Mango Mobile and had a friend pick me up to do errands. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A simple brick storefront painted in white with Mediterranean Blue lettering https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mb8DyG_Z_IOS2_6DolcAKg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, this garage had only three small work bays https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=NETiJTp6ioURJ9x7PsfBFQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and not much room for anything else except for a vehicle, tools and parts. Plenty of natural lighting came through the ceiling and opened garage doors while several rows of soul-sucking fluorescent lights filled in the rest. There was one turned off TV in a snug waiting area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Gc7RQHO85Tz242BVe5bADw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw fashioned with a couple chairs, a loveseat, and magazines while music played in the background. Lastly, a funny human body chart that proved to be very informative for me https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=EIlDuc4BEjL8RQejv89sSQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was more than happy with my first experience at A & R Auto Repair and planned to return for any future repairs. Even though I no longer worked in the area, I currently took my car to the Honda dealership in Santa Clarita because of the wonderful service I've received over the years and the trust I built with them. One of the hardest things to find was a car mechanic you felt comfortable with and trusted, and those two attributes were what I felt with Harry and his business. The prices seemed comparable if not slightly less than any car dealership, and it appeared they were a full mechanic garage. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $277.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, although I paid with a MasterCard so he wouldn't get hit with a high merchant fee, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=EUUlSdNSxVTyiavNUNn7YQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! 5.0 STARS

    Harry is easily the most trust worthy mechanic in LA. I won't take my car anywhere else. He is always quick and always honest.

    Glendale Lube Center

    Brought my lifted Duramax into Glendale Lube Center for an oil change and fuel filter replacement…read moreand immediately realized my truck was probably the smallest ego in the parking lot. Most shops see this thing pull up and suddenly everybody disappears to 'lunch,' but not here. Maria and Cesar handled it like absolute veterans. Maria was at the front desk looking so good I almost forgot why I came in there in the first place. Customer service was flawless she had the whole place running smoother than my truck after the service. Meanwhile Cesar looked like the final boss of diesel mechanics. Dude walked up to the truck like he'd wrestled lifted suspensions in hand-to-hand combat before breakfast. I'm pretty sure at one point they needed FAA clearance to work underneath my truck, but somehow they got the oil change and fuel filter done fast, clean, and without launching a socket into orbit. Truck came back running perfect, no leaks, no problems, and no 'check engine light surprise package' two miles later. Honestly Glendale Lube Center feels less like a lube shop and more like a Fast & Furious side quest. Great people, great vibes, and solid work. Maria and Cesar definitely made the experience legendary.

    I brought my 2018 Chevy Silverado Duramax to Glendale Lube Center for an oil change, and I'll be…read morehonest... I expected them to call the fire department just to reach the hood. My truck is on a 12-inch lift with 42-inch tires, which basically means it's less of a truck and more of a mobile observation tower. Small children look at it the way people look at monster trucks at a county fair. Most oil change places take one look at it and suddenly say things like "our lift is down" or "we don't service... aircraft carriers." Not these guys. They walked out, looked up at the truck like they were inspecting a skyscraper, nodded, and got to work like it was a completely normal Tuesday. One of the techs climbed up there like a Navy SEAL scaling a building. Next thing I know, oil change done, no drama, no weird upsells, and nobody needed a ladder from Home Depot. Truck runs great, still sits high enough to change the weather pattern in Glendale, and I'll definitely be coming back. 10/10. If your truck is ridiculously tall and slightly irresponsible like mine, these are your people.
