Nelson and his team provide quality work, professionalism, and go above and beyond the services requested to deliver exceptional repair work and services. He communicates about all the details ranging from time frame and estimates and responds to all questions and calls in a timely manner. His services are reasonably priced and his kindness and knowledge of the business is a bonus. Thank you for taking care of my mom's car. We will definitely return for all car and service needs. read more

I worked with Nelson to get a pre-purchase inspection on a used 2016 Jetta which had been sitting on a somewhat sleazy used car lot for a while. He and his crew paid close attention to all of my specific asks about the car, gave me a detailed call and report, and even followed up to answer questions after I had paid and the inspection was long over. Net result is I got a great car and was able to use his work to negotiate a price drop of more than 2x the inspection cost. I HIGHLY recommend this shop. read more

Nelson and his team at the shop are outstanding. From the moment I walked in, Nelson was professional, honest, and clearly knowledgeable about what needed to be done. He took the time to explain the repairs in simple terms, provided a fair and transparent estimate, and delivered exactly as promised--on time and without any surprises. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service. read more

Boulevard Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

After being a consistent customer for brakes, tires and oil changes for a few years, they told me they don't really work on Mazdas and had only done the work because business was slow but now that businesses was better they wouldn't work on my car anymore. So much for feeling like a valued loyal customer! read more

Excellent service. Fair quote from Nelson. Fixed the fuel pump on our 2010 Mercedes Benz e350 coupe quickly. Explained the situation and handled it as promised. read more

My 2nd time seeing these guys. Nelson and his son and crew are awesome. I had a cracked catalytic converter and they saved me so much money and took care of my issue so fast. These guys are 100% best shop I've been to for car repairs. Look no further this shop is my go to shop for German engines read more

I'm finally getting around to a long-overdue review that I promised myself I'd do a while ago! Here's why I give Boulevard five stars. I've been a customer for over 2 1/2 years and consistently had a positive experience. Nelson and his team have handled the maintenance and repairs for my previous car, a 2014 Audi A6, and my current 2017 Audi A6. What I appreciate most is the professionalism and competence of the staff. Nelson takes the time to explain the work needed, which makes me feel informed about my vehicle's care. I also value their honesty; I've never felt pressured into unnecessary services, and their pricing is fair for the quality of work provided. Overall, I trust Nelson and his team to keep my cars in good condition, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable auto repair. read more

Great service and prices. Probably the most honest service people you'll find in the automotive industry

Nelson and his son are amazing, professional and honest. Amazing service. Highly recommend. If you need any auto repair, look no further, my whole family has been going to him for the last three years. The most professional with the highest integrity. read more

Update: August 2023 I recently had a hit and run on the rear end of my car, and I went to 3 auto body shops for a quote, and Nelson was the most straight forward and easy person to work with. He is very supportive and clear on how the insurance process works. What I appreciate so much about Nelson is that he's very transparent on the entire process, and is extremely knowledgable. He's patient to share the information you need to feel confident that you're in good hands. Once the auto body work was complete, Nelson and his team went above and beyond, making sure to use original and new parts, and paint match ensuring that you would never know a collision occurred. At this point, I'm sending all my friends to Nelson at Boulevard Auto. They're also a family run business, 2 generations, and no one is more honest, caring of quality work and hardworking than Nelson and his crew. Did I mention that at the end of the service, they provide a detailed car wash? Grateful for all your care! Sanaz read more

Got a PPI done for a car I am looking to buy. A painless experience. I was provided with an in-depth report that is worth every penny. They proved to be very knowledgeable and honest. read more

Boulevard auto is a great place to take your car. They are thorough and knowledgeable. They are so good, I just don't take my car to the dealer anymore. Boulevard Auto does a better job at a much more fair price and they've always made sure that I get my car back in a reasonable amount of time. Say goodbye to the dealership and bring your car to Boulevard Auto Repair. read more

He's always there to take great care of his customers and make sure that your car needs are well met above and beyond. I highly recommend boulevard Auto for any type of car. Mercedes Benz BMWs Japanese Swiss you name it Nelson's cruel will fix it read more

Working with Boulevard Auto Repair is always a great experience. All work is done cleanly and efficiently. Nelson is very responsive and appointment time is prompt and completion timely. The office area has space to wait while work is being done, but I recommend dropping off your car to make it a more comfortable experience. My car is a 5 year old Mercedes and this shop keeps my car running smoothly! read more

Because Nelson is gifted, and honest, I unhesitatingly accepted every suggestion he made to update and repair parts and paint on my over 20 year old car. Driving it from his shop today it looks better, and drives better than on the day I first sat in it. Nelson is not only a gifted mechanic, but also an artist. I could not be more pleased. read more

Been taking my Audi here since i moved to the LA area. Getting a new mechanic you trust is hard but im happy i found this place. Nelson is always transparent and reasonable. the prices are fair and the work is always done fairly quickly. Highly recommend read more

This review is long overdue. I bought a 2015 Audi A4 a few years ago and was worried about the maintenance and repair costs during upkeep. I'd met someone who said he fixed audi's and that'd he'd take care of me when I needed, but I lost his information, so when the time came to get my first major maintenance service, I was worried I wouldn't find someone I could trust. I found BOulevard auto online and decided to bring it in. Nelson was great from the start. All of the issues I had with the car, he fully explained, sent pictures with costs of repair for each, as well as how much time I could probably go without the service. It was a very transparent and helpful run through, and now after 3 more trips to his shop, it's never changed. He's always given me a printout of things needed to be done, and when I've had the time and money to bring back, I simply bring it in for that service. In fact, I took my Audi there to get all 4 tires replaced, and within a month or 2, i ran over a nail, and one kept deflating. I brought it in and he fixed it at no cost. Nelson and his staff are top notch, extremely humble and they care about service. I would recommend them to anyone and especially to anyone with a foreign car where many places may overcharge. Trust is number 1 for me when it comes to car repair, and I've found that at Boulevard Auto. Thanks again Nelson (and my man who always works on my car, blanking on his name now- but both great men!) read more

Nelson is a real friend and mechanic. I needed so much work done he agreed to work with me. This is why I keep coming back to him!

This specialized auto repair service , for Mercedes and Smart cars , is a no BS operation, the mechanics clean professional and knowledgeable, price's competitive but fair . read more

I hit my fence post pulling out and completely destroyed my passenger side mirror. Nelson is so considerate He did the work in two pieces so I wouldn't need to leave my car for a day. He gave me a comfortable office chair while I waited for the new mirror to be replaced as I have a serious back problem. The work was perfect. They even set the mirror position as I had it When I brought it in And this is why I have been going to going to Boulevard Auto Repair for over 40 years, and my Dad before me. read more

A+++++, a gem for all Mercedes' owners! Boulevard Auto is Top Notch, the owner Nelson is friendly, extremely knowledgeable and very professional.

The best place to go. They did a quick and very precise job on my car. Highly reccomend !

Professional and Honest service, great value, and highest quality of service. Nelson is great and easy to work with

I found out about Boulevard Auto Repair from a customer of over 20 years and now I'm going on my 10th year. They are always great.

I brought my Toyota Camry after an accident they have fixed my car quickly and they have been very responsive and reliable.

Huge fan of these guys. The owner Nelson is warm and patient. He'll take his time to explain things. I feel confident in the quality of the work his team does here. They communicate well and have an easy online system for accepting quoted costs. This is the kind of place that inspires loyalty. I may have to come back even after I move from the valley. read more

The team here at Boulevard Auto is amazing! Nelson and crew are very kind, professional, and amazing at what they do. After hearing a little cry coming from the hood of my car, I called to see if they could help me and without hesitation they told me to bring the vehicle in. So to prevent hurting whatever was stuck in there, I had my car towed to them. They searched and found a cute little kitten tucked away in the bumper of my car very frightened. These guys are life savers. Literally! Thank you Boulevard Auto for not only being amazing with cars, but for also rescuing this beautiful little kitten! This mechanic shop is a new home for my household and our cars read more

I saw them on yelp and they had great reviews. I called Nelson up made an appointment and he took care of me right away. He went right to my problem with my car. They are very direct and very nice. I highly recommend this place. read more

Nelson and the entire team did such an amazing job on my '85 Mercedes 280SE. I had no idea what was wrong with my car. I was able to book an appointment to get the car diagnosed. I got a text alert with a comprehensive list of what repairs were recommended and the price. Everything was transparent. The cost of the labor was broken out from cost of the parts and justification for the repairs was specific. I was able to authorize the repairs via DocuSign from my phone. When the repairs were complete, the total matched the quote down to the penny. The car drives great now! Acceleration improved exponentially. This is the only repair shop I will ever bring my car to in the future. It's clear Nelson takes a tremendous amount of pride in his work and genuinely cares about the quality of service his clients receive. When I picked up my car they had washed it, scrubbed the rims and cleaned the inside as well. read more

Boulevard Auto Repair - The car looks and runs great! - Auto Repair Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Just had the best experience at this Body Shop! Came in at the last minute needing a tow package installed on my Audi after Pep Boys said they couldn't do it. Audi being closed right now, due to covid, I didn't know where to go. Thankfully this business is near my home so I went there. Nelson was not only polite and informative, but gave me a very fair price install the hitch and even buffed the scratches on my bumper and cleaned my car in and out. I highly recommend this business for their speedy service and kind employees read more

Boulevard Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Wow all these good reviews really did fool me. This place overcharged me and did not perform what was needed to fix the car. I paid a lot of money for service and changed the throttle body 3 times thinking it was defective, but apparently they did not install it correctly. I paid so much fees, including overnight shipping, and after i brought brand new parts for them from Mercedes dealership that was sealed they refused to warranty the work. Because they want you to order with them and pay more with their mark up, it would be fine if the parts were readily available but for a rare car it's not. That is why i ordered the parts and many parts i ordered through Nelson as well and was charged 20% extra. Duh As well as Nelson will be nice to you when you come in initially but then he's got you by the balls after the car is apart. Everything you tell him after you do your own research he tells you something new. I would avoid this place. I'm considering filing a small claims court documents. As well as filing a complaint with the B.A.R. read more

The Very Best Auto Mechanics! Since taking my cars to Boulevard Auto Repair my opinion of auto mechanics has completely changed. They're prompt, reliable and reasonable. I really appreciate their estimate and billing system. It's very clear and thorough. I have a VW for every day use and a vintage BMW. He has resolved issues on the vintage car where other supposedly reputable mechanics have failed. Thanks Nelson! Having the cars serviced is no longer a hassle. You've got my continued business! read more

Nelson and his Crew of experienced workers did a very thorough inspection of my Mercedes with a fair price they got the job done in a timely manner read more

Above and beyond work. This is my go to place to for any work done on my car moving forward. Nelson explained and justifed every step and cost of the process to get my car back on the road. They got the work done before the estimated time. The area that was damaged looked better than it did before the accident. Much appreciated. Thank you read more

I called this shop and spoke to a Nelson, I found him to be very curt, I told him I had the part already, I needed it to be put on, He told me his labor rate is $175.00 an hour. Encino of Mercedes is $225.00 an hour. He explained to me that he likes to get the parts, because there is profit in it, along with the labor. He told me the book calls for 4 hours. You get this talk from the dealer the book, Is this the holy book??? I have found the time actually it takes to do the repair is far less than what the books calls for always! Again car dealarship service department talk! When I called another mercedes repair factory trained tech. certified, his quote was more than 50% less. That was my experience, what was yours?? JR. read more

The owner is very knowledgeable. I bought a used Mercedes 250 SLK and have never used any of the shop but this one. I've had nothing but great experiences and would trust the owner Nelson with any service advice. I did some research on this shop before I brought my car down to them I have never been anywhere else since. read more

These guys truly rock. Nelson and his crew are serious professionals. A co worker recommended them and after reading the solid YELP reviews I took my slightly used Smart Car I had purchased from Car Max into here for the 32-point "YELP check in special." Nelson went above on beyond the deal and caught a few key items that I needed to remedy. They can even send you the report via text and you have it there in PDF format. I've found my new Smart car mechanic. True professionals through and through. read more

These guys are great! My 2008 Smart Car had a check engine light and my car started bucking like a wild bull. I googled *Smart Car Service* and Boulevard Auto came up in the search so I called. Nelson is the guy I talked to- he is SO nice! He told me to bring it on in, and wow, these guys REALLY KNOW SMART CARS! They have all the Smart diagnostic instruments and they were able to get me up and running in perfect condition in less than a day! I will definitely return to Boulevard Automotive for my regular maintenance on my 2008 Smart ForTwo Passion Coupe! Great service, honest people, excellent service ... the best! read more
