Great guy, great place, I cannot imagine smog checks going any faster or smoother. Thanks Albert!

I called around 4pm asking if they could fit me in, and the awesome worker on duty (so sorry to forget your name!), said, "Come by at 4:30 as I'm working on someone else's car."

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.

Wait. He wasn't lying either. Two cars in front of me and they got them finished in 15 min. They called me to pull my van up and Maria was so kind and said they'd get everything done in 15 min. I couldn't believe how fast they were. So professional and kind. I was even able to bring my own oil and filter and they just did the work. The charge was way less than I'm used to. So I will definitely be back and I will tell everyone to come here to get their oil changed.

I have a vintage (*very old, 1985*) Toyota camper, and while it's a good, solid Toyota, not every mechanic is willing to work on vehicles of this age and size. Sam happily accepted me as a new client this Spring, and competently got my rig in ship-shape with a new catalytic converter and oxygen sensor. She easily passed a smog test , and, phew, no more worrisome "check engine" light anymore either! Sam asked me to contact him with my smog test results and then had me send over the readout, so he could admire the numbers - said it was performing like a new engine now! How cute is that, a mechanic who not only cares that your vehicle passes a smog test, he's eager to know that his talent and skills got everything so right? Thrilled! I can recommend Sam's Auto Clinic far and wide!

They've won me over and I'll definitely come back again in a few months for the next service date.

Took my Subaru Forester in that has nearly 200k miles to Best Muffler near my house. Called ahead of time to get a quote for a new catalytic converter and he called me back with a reasonable price for an aftermarket one. I like to support local small businesses, especially when they have people that care about their customers and neighbors. Eli was really straight forward, provided great service, and it was an overall a great experience. Over a month later, the car is running great, passed the smog test, and the check engine light is no longer on. Thanks Eli, I'll be coming back if I ever need your services! read more

Great service! I spoke to him on the phone and my wife brought the car in. Eli repaired our car very quickly. He even noted a few other things that we should look at doing in the future. But he did not pressure us at all. He was very nice and he explained things so that even my wife could understand. It is refreshing to find mechanics that are straight forward, respectful, non-pressuring, no up-selling, and does great work. I definitely recommend Best Muffler read more
