Eddy at Bert''s Garage saved my car and saved me thousands of $$. I thought I was going to have to junk the car after an erroneous diagnosis I got from the dealership I've been going to. Taking it to Eddy for a second opinion was a last resort but now I'll be getting a few more years of service from this car. In the future, I will never take any car I own any place for repairs except Bert's Garage. read more

Amazing service, really fair prices. They were able to get my entire car serviced quickly at a great price. Highly recommend using them.

I took my 2017 Jaguar in to Bert's for a deep body repair on my door & quarter panel. Not only did Aaron give me the most fair & reasonable pricing out of several shops in the area, he went above & beyond to ensure each cosmetic issue was fixed at a standard of near perfection & that I left at total satisfaction. If there was any misunderstanding, he would take time to explain thoroughly & ensure I was feeling taken care of. I cannot say that is the case as a women for most auto body shops I have taken my vehicles to. Lastly, the team set me up with a complimentary loaner car for nearly a week while they worked on unexpected longer repairs... Bravo to their customer service & follow-through! I will be taking my car here for everything moving forward thank you everyone again XXX read more

I don't usually write Yelp reviews, but my experience at Bert's Garage really stood out and deserves to be shared. A few years ago, I thought I'd try saving money by buying a 12-year-old car in great exterior condition with low mileage, but it's had one persistent issue since: an annoying squeaking noise coming from the rear, especially when driving over rough roads here in LA. Over the years, I've thrown thousands of dollars at the problem--took it to other shops, tried all kinds of DIY fixes after spending way too much time in car forums, replaced parts, lubed joints--you name it. At best, the fixes would last a few days. The squeak always came back, louder and more embarrassing than before. Recently, the noise got unbearable. I took a chance on Bert's based on their reviews, and I could not be happier that I did. I dropped off my car on a Tuesday and spoke with Chris at the front desk. He really took the time to understand everything I had tried, both on my own and with other mechanics. He told me they'd take a look and promised to follow up later that day. Sure enough, a few hours later, Chris called me with a thoughtful explanation of what they found. Not only did they identify the likely cause of the noise, but they also spotted a serious leak in my steering rack that they recommended I take care of--something another shop had mentioned months earlier during an oil change. It wasn't a surprise, and I appreciated the heads-up and the clear explanation. Chris gave me what I felt was a very fair quote for both issues and told me they could get the parts and finish the work within 24 to 48 hours. That sounded impressively quick, given how busy they were. By the end of the next day, I had my car back. The squeak was gone, and I was cautiously optimistic. A few days later, a very faint squeak started coming from the front (not the back like I initially described)--way better than before, but still there. Nervous that history was repeating itself, I brought the car back in. This time, I spoke directly with the mechanics, explained my concerns, and asked if they could give it one more look. They didn't hesitate. They thoroughly checked the front-end connections as well and re-torqued everything to factory specs. They even discovered a large, loose piece of metal that had somehow lodged itself in there It's now been a week, and the car is completely quiet--even over the bumpiest LA roads. More than just the repairs, I'm incredibly grateful for the honesty, clear communication, and fast turnaround. This was by far the least stressful experience I've ever had at a mechanic. I left feeling like these guys truly cared about solving the issue--not just patching it up. I'm happy to say I've found my go-to garage. read more

Chris and Eddie are amazing. After a freak accident, I had my car towed here. They're VERY familiar with it having known the previous owner. Rather than recommending expensive repairs, they said given the cost to repair that it wasn't worth it. Whatever my next car is, I will be taking it here. read more

Bert's Garage took great care of me after my Hyundai Tucson was in a collision. From the start, they made the process with my insurance smooth and hassle-free. The team was super friendly, really thorough with their work, and when I picked up my car, it looked brand new. I really appreciated how personable and professional they were throughout. Definitely my go-to body shop from now on. read more

I have already written a review for this business but have some new info to add. I change my two star rating to five stars because as i said in my first review they did a great job and my truck is running like a new car in spite of the engine light that is on again and because they called me and apologized for sending me away when i returned with other problems with my truck and asked me to return to service my truck which made me happy because it gives me peace of mind and satisfaction to take my car to people i can rely on. Thanks Berts Garage read more

WARNING!!! BE CAREFUL OF THESE PEOPLE!!! After they checked my car, Edi and Chris told me on the phone that my Beetle's water pump was broken and the cost to repair it was going to be between $2,000 and $2,500!! I decided not to do the repair, so Edi in an angry and menacing manner said "So you want me to put all the stuff back in place". If a customer declines a service, which expected in the auto repair business, the owner shouldn't react in an angry manner. I did not move forward with the repair. When I arrived to pick up my car, Chris told me that the cost of checking the vehicle was $180 bucks! I complaint about it but he refused to reduce the cost. Since this experience had a fishy smell, I asked for a second and third opinion. Guess what? I was told that the water pump was in good condition. Simply put, at this place they wanted to overcharge me for an inexistent issue. On more thing, at this place, it appears they play the good / bad cop script. Edi is the ill-educated cop whereas Chris pretends to be the nice guy that wants to help you. So watch out! read more

These guys did a great job servicing the brakes on my LR4. Fast, thorough and friendly. Will be back for sure!

This is the only place I will bring my vehicle. Someone cut me off and severely damaged my Mercedes. Bert's Garage handled everything and it made my life so much easier. My car is literally perfect now. They even provided me with a rental replacement car from their shop. They got me sorted and back on track. Aaron let me know they also do maintenance. This is now my shop for everything. read more

I needed some work done for my battery. Chris helped me out so much, they were efficient, and got it fixed in a timely manner. Highly recommend! read more

Great place to have your car serviced, specially if it's slightly premium. They do great service and are very honest on what services you actually need plus they sell tires too. Plus if you need to stay around you can walk across the street to Salt de Cahuenga read more

My Toyota Corolla's brakes started making a terrible sound and my car was jolting after I had ignored a bad sound for a while and continued my ~2 hours of daily commute. Oops.. I had to be towed here by AAA and they were ready for us when we got there around 5:30. Chris is amazing and was very communicative throughout the whole process, despite them being busy. I am not someone who takes care of my car, so there ended up being a lot of immediate issues. They took care of my brakes, brake fluid, belt, and rotated my tires. They were able to get all of this done by the NEXT DAY!!!!!!! Chris was so patient with me even though I called repeatedly and was probably a pretty annoying customer, so I am incredibly grateful for these guys. It was pricy, but I'm only saying this because these were emergency repairs that I was not financially prepared for. If you know you need something done, these guys are worth it. read more

I really love my friends at Bert's Garage! I always come in for a tune up before big road trips, and even though my car needed a lot of repair work today, Chris worked with me in advance to help lower the costs. For example, I brought in some parts I found on Ebay, and the folks at Bert's were happy to use them. Plus, Chris knocked off anything that was not necessary. By the end of the day, my bill was lower - not higher - than we'd initially agreed. Additionally, Chris and Christine work with jokes and smiles. Even in a stressful moment, I feel so taken care of by the team, who are friendly and go above and beyond with their service and care for us customers. This is rare in today's world, and a reflection of a positive work culture that spreads good vibes to customers. And --- I did do a price comp with other mechanics before coming back in for this big service, and all local prices were comparable! 10/10 recommend. read more

Chris and the team were outstanding in their transparency, quality of work, and communication. Grateful to find trusted service and value for my Toyota 4Runner. Extra Thank You to Chris for his professionalism, kindness, and support. Chris created a welcomed space during drop off and when returning to pick up. Much appreciated! read more

I had a car that broke down on Cahuenga Blvd. and was towed to Bert's Garage at the recommendation of my AAA driver. The car was kept overnight inside a locked gated area. That made me feel a lot better. The car wheel on my old 2008 Hyundai had broken off and had practically fallen off the vehicle. To be honest, I felt the car might be totaled. It's an old workhorse that's seen better days. I was expecting to be quoted a bill higher than the car's worth. I spoke with the receptionist Nancy, and the mechanic Chris. I explained I was unemployed and my funds were limited. The two help keep my bill to a minimum. They applied a triple AAA discount. A bolt had busted off from the tire arm. Chris drilled out the broken screw to keep my repair costs to a minimum. He had the car up and running again in a few hours. The bill was very reasonable. I was extremely pleased with the professionalism at this location. read more

Bert's Garage - Yikes! I was expecting a huge bill but this place came to the rescue. Good job! - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They charged me $1300 to fix my brakes. That's insane. 1 year later they need to be replaced again.

The nicest mechanics I've ever used. Completely honest and transparent. I trust them 100% with my Lexus. Thanks for doing such a great job (Jan 2024). read more

Thankful for Bert's garage! They took such good care of me. Honest, reliable, and went above and beyond! Thanks Aaron!

It's hard to find a reliable mechanic and I am happy to say that I have... and in my neighborhood! I am very wary of mechanics (like doctors) and ended up at Bert's 7 years ago because of the reviews here on Yelp. Both times I've taken my car in, the service was quick, and seemed fair and reasonable. Fast forward to an unfortunate car accident last month, and Bert's to the rescue! Chris helped me get my car towed to their shop even though I pulled in as they were preparing to leave for the night. My car was pretty badly damaged but when I picked it up 3 weeks later, I was so pleased with the results! My car looked brand new, and was even cleaned inside and out by their staff. Working with Aaron and Chris to finalize the insurance and payment and then take my car home was a breeze and they did everything they could to make sure I felt great about the process. They even left a sweet surprise on my passenger seat! Bert's Garage is a class act and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great repair shop. read more

Our neighborhood gem. Bert's Garage is the best shop. I have been coming to them for about a year now. Very professional, friendly and straightforward shop. They handle everything from maintenance to collision work on all my cars. Chris has been great to work with. He truly cares to give you a personal and warm experience. He explains things very well to me and looks out for my best interest. I appreciate everything you guys have done for me. Thank you! read more

Unfortunately the tow company that brought me here didn't know they were full, so they couldn't fix my car. BUT the people at Bert's were absolutely amazing, so nice and so helpful. They got my contact information from AAA and called me before I could be charged a holding fee! Then they convinced the tow company to stay until I could get there to sort things out. Thank you Berts! The only highlight in my crappy car situation lol! read more

Finding a garage sometimes can be difficult. Are they trust worthy? Are they efficient? Do they do their best to save you money as well as do good work? At Bert's, they are yes to all of the above. Art , Eddie and their crew are very helpful and kind. Along with supporting family owned businesses, I also appreciate that they do their best to get me in and out. I'm grateful to know Bert's Garage exists and I will continue to bring my car here for all my car needs. Thank you Bert's Garage! You all do great work! read more

Everyone at Bert's garage were awesome during a recent accident I had. It was tough to diagnose what exactly had happened, but they did a phenomenal job of doing so. Not only that, they worked with my insurance company and took care of a lot of those negotiations, which lifted a huge burden off of me. My car has never run better, even when brand new. I'm very grateful for their help, assistance, and empathy during such a trying time. It's also important to note that their facilities are super clean and professional. I always feel if a business has that attention to detail on their front end, chances are good it carries over everywhere. I'm very grateful and Bert's gets my highest recommendation. read more

I have had Bert's garage as my mechanic for over 30 years. Eddie (and team) is/are honest, professional, and give excellent service! Highly recommend it! read more

I've been taking my cars to Bert's Garage for almost 15 years. Eddie is the most trustworthy, knowledgeable, integral, & accommodating man in the business. As a single woman without much automotive knowledge, he treats me with respect, tells me the truth, takes time with me, and never tries to sell me on something I don't need, or oversell me on what I do need. Every job & service is done superbly; always on time or early. Each step of the way, he communicates thoroughly. There are no surprises. I highly recommend Bert's Garage. read more

I've been taking my cars to Bert's Garage for 13 years and I cannot say enough about how fair, courteous and skilled they are. They've kept my cars running and in good shape and I never feel conned or taken advantage of. These are good trustworthy people and that's not always easy to find in car repair business. I only recently realized they did body work, and I brought my wife's car to have the bumper repaired and they did a beautiful job, ahead of schedule and for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend! read more

By far the best experience I have had with any mechanic in Los Angeles. I arrived at Berts at 11am and by 3pm my car was fixed and ready to drive. Eddie was professional and warm, and his staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. He gave me clear options and was upfront about pricing, no upselling or runarounds. I highly recommend this place. Tell your friends, great businesses are rare and places like Bert's Garage deserve all the support they can get. read more

Outstanding! I really like the place and people working there. They're always kind and friendly. Service is great and quick. The staff is always in touch with you. If something happens with your car I would highly recommend to go Bert's Garage. They will take care of you. 105% worth it. Thanks guys for dealing with my KIA. read more

I am so happy I have found this shop! I have been having a hard time finding a repair shop that is trustworthy. Bert's Garage has made my car feel brand new. At the end of my service they made me feel like family. I am glad I have discovered this shop and will be referring all of my family and friends as well. read more

I have nothing but GREAT things to say about this mechanic shop. I initially found this shop through AAA who identified them as a well recommended shop. I was looking for a new mechanic who was local to me. They're near my place so I figured to give them a try. They are truly incredible. They are reliable, friendly, and their work is reliable. I have done routine maintenance on my car here. But more so- when I was involved in a car accident, they took care of everything! They worked directly with the insurance adjuster and made it all such a smooth process. No added headaches. These guys are great, always friendly and trustworthy. I've never felt they are trying to be sneaky with added work that might not be needed like other mechanics are known to do. I have nothing negative to say. Check them out! read more

My check engine light came on and prior to going to Berts I went to my car models auto-shop. Not only did they up charge for a basic service, they also treated me so poorly. I'm so so glad I went to Berts! They made my little old car sound brand new and fixed all the major problems within a few days - and were transparent about costs.They're super communicative and genuine about fixings your car problems. read more

This was our first time at Bert's Garage and we definitely lucked out. We came to this place by chance since we had popped our tire. After meeting the mechanics, they gave us their suggestion, but provided multiple other solutions and were never pushy. They knew that we were on a road trip, so they made sure to start working on our car right away. Overall, all staff members(mechanics and front desk personnel) were inviting and friendly. read more

I would give higher stars if I could! I have been coming here for years and the entire team here is trustworthy, hardworking, and goes above and beyond to do an amazing job and get the work done!! I can't praise them enough. My old car was not passing the smog test and they patiently worked on it, found good deals, took time out of their day to test things and finally got it to pass!! I was so relieved and grateful! Thanks to Eddie and Chris especially! read more

I came here initially when my Mercedes got rear ended. They handled my claim from beginning to end and made everything very easy for me. My car looks brand new! They also handle maintenance and service too so I get that done with them as well. Thank you Aaron and Chris for everything! read more

I really liked Bert's Garage. I have a Volkswagen and took it to a place that didn't know much about German cars and got all kinds of warning lights... Brought it in to Bert's garage, had great service for a very reasonable price, and my car has been driving great ever since. I live in the valley, and this mechanic is definitely worth the drive!! read more

BEST OF THE BEST. Cream of the crop. The way a business should be run. I have no idea where this place has been all my life but I've found my go-to for the rest of my time in LA (so um, forever?) which started with the dumbest thing. My door on my driver's side couldn't open from the inside. Took it in and they immediately assisted me- removed the door and diagnosed the problem within minutes: a frayed cable from overuse apparently...something that would only happen to me, I said to myself, as I always joke I have the worst luck sometimes. Well that occurrence actually turned into absolute luck as, had it not been for all that happening I would never have discovered Eddie...or his son Vatche, or his colleague Art. I still can't believe how chill, friendly, and attentive they are. On top of that, they and their establishment are absolutely professional. Communicative with calls/follow-ups, clean/welcoming interior (I honestly would have had no problem staying in the waiting area had I not had errands to run), and clearly satisfied customers coming through/happy crew working there was like a breath of fresh air. I've felt like a nobody when I've done walk-ins at other service joints, just a pure number, but here I feel they were genuinely glad I've become a customer. Bert's was recommended by a good friend who has been going to them for over a decade. For the same reasons why he does, I immediately felt the same, from my first interaction with Eddie: just an overall good vibe and a natural assurance you will never get ripped off here. I've been back twice already, for an oil change and a verification I really don't need my rear shocks replaced just yet (which my dealership had told me was critical for my next service). Also, I'm having them give a quote on some cosmetic damage on my car because I've finally found someone I can trust to give a quote and do the work. To the entire team: THANK YOU. read more

I have been using this garage for all of the cars in my rental business for five years, and I rarely need to go anywhere else. Anything you need from bodywork to basic jobs to complex engine swaps, they can handle, and they're honest about what they can't do, which is very little! read more

This review is quite overdue. I've been coming to this shop for all my car needs for years now. From mechanical to body work they have me covered. They do great quality work without crazy dealer prices. The staff has always been very friendly and they really make sure that you are comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. Their shop is super clean and organized. I feel good and safe about leaving my car with them. Vik is usually who I deal with. However, Eddie, Jonathan and the rest of the crew are great. My car looked amazing after they finished and they had it washed and looking beautiful for me. It's seriously hard to find repair facilities like Bert's Garage nowadays. Thank you guys! read more
