I spoke with Ramzi about doing the timing belt for my Toyota Sequoia. He quoted me a very good/fair price and knew exactly what I needed done. They replaced some other seals and thermostat as precautionary while they had it all taken apart so that I wouldn't have to pay for the labor to do it all again in the future if those went bad. Initially he told me that they would need the car for a day and a half and I said no problem so I dropped it off in the morning but they actually finished the job the same day and I was able to drive it home that evening! Amazing customer service, turnaround time and all around experience. I am definitely going to go back here for all my future service needs. read more

Ramzi at De Soto Auto Repair was quick and efficient! I definitely recommend coming here, they're respectful and don't try to up charge you.

Had such a smooth and stress free experience here! I brought in my own car battery and they had no issue helping me install it. The team was quick & professional. They explained everything clearly and made sure I was good to go. It's rare to find a shop that's both honest and efficient. Appreciate the great service! read more

I've been going here since 2004 for my vehicle needs. Ramsi is always honest, quick and efficient with your vehicle needs and questions. He's # 1 !! read more

Easy in and out for wiper replacements. Thank you and we will be back! I didn't know my size but they were able to ID quickly

Absolutely amazing experience today! I found De Soto Auto Repair through Yelp, tried them because of all the positive reviews and now I understand why. They are great. We had a fuel leak, initially was just going to go in for a quick assessment. Turned out to be a bad fuel pump. Serious gas smell and leaking everywhere. Major issue that we would need to get resolved very soon. It was late in the day (and we wouldn't be able to return for a week or so) and they were working on other vehicles, but Ramzi was concerned about us driving the vehicle with this dangerous issue so he literally stopped what they were doing to get our car fixed today so that it would be safe to drive! Two hours later, and just as they were closing, they had it all completed! I've never been to a service shop before that would do something like that, to make us a priority the same day! Normally shops would just say "sorry, you'll have to come back some other time" and leave you on your own to deal with it. Very grateful and appreciative to Ramzi and his team! On top of that they were extremely nice and professional! I highly, highly recommend De Soto Auto Repair! read more

I have been exclusively taking my car to De Soto now over a decade. Store manager Raami did not disappoint yet again today when I needed alternator change right away. He immediately made the part available and I was able to go to work today because of him without a hitch. I highly recommend De Soto auto repair for their immediate attentive service with straightforward reasonable pricing. read more

Straight forward. He didn't try to upsell other services. Transparent communication. Will come back for auto repairs.

Brought my Ram 1500 in right when they opened for a much needed brake service. Ramzi fit me right in. His crew checked out my brakes, got me a fantastic quote with no run arounds for extra services that were not needed. This was the second time I had my vehicles worked on and I have to say it was as as much of a pleasure as the first. De Soto Auto Repair has my trust and business for all the work I can't get done in a time crunch. Thanks again Ramzi and his crew! read more

Talk about fast, efficient, and a great price! The gentlemen named Luis changed my brake light for only $10 in less than 5 minutes. They are clean, use antibacterial, and masks. Seriously come check them out. The cashier is sweet. read more

Every grownup needs a "guy" (or girl)... An appliance guy, a Plummer guy... And I am happy to say that Ramzi is my "car guy." Ramzi is by far the most honest and reliable auto repair person I've ever come across. And he's much more reasonably priced than those corporate lube places. If you want someone to trust with your car, cl Ramzi!! read more

Stopped by needing coolant as it was dangerously low for a car that was serviced elsewhere two months ago. Ramzi commented that there may be a leak and if I notice it going down in the next couple days to bring it in. He was right, so I brought it in, they checked it out and quickly figured out where it was leaking from. They were very quick and effient in fixing the issue and the price was very reasonable. Great team and amazing service, everyone was really nice and helpful. Definitely recommend this place. read more

This review really needs to start five and a half years ago when I moved to Chatsworth. Prior to moving I'd had the same independent mechanic for over 20 years. On to Yelp I went in the hope I'd find someone I could now call "my mechanic." De Soto Auto Repair had good ratings and was close so I gave them a try. As they say, the rest is history. Simply put, when I'm looking for a mechanic or any other service for that matter, I'm looking for specific traits. KNOWLEDGE, HONESTY and VALUE. If there were 10 stars, I'd give them 11 on all three. Over the years I've had a couple of cars that required a lot of repair and knowledge. My first problem child was a 2003 Jaguar XK8. I had a rat get into the engine compartment and cause extensive damage. Unfortunately, because it was a "classic car", and a third car I didn't have comprehensive insurance coverage. De Soto Auto Repair went out of their way to find the necessary parts at reasonable prices and was able to get the car back on the road in a timely manner. We never had an issue with that car till the day we sold it. The next problem child was a '66 Mustang I purchased sight unseen (big mistake) for my wife's 60th birthday, as a surprise. It would take a small novel to explain all the work Ramzi and his guys have done to the car. Not only to make it safe but to make it the way I envisioned it. Let's just say that the only part of this car they haven't either rebuilt or repaired is the lower half of the engine. Another big plus is the network of people Ramzi can call on if there is work to be done they can't do. The guys he called on for the transmission, rear-end, drive shaft and power steering pump rebuild to name a few were all top notch and places I'd also recommend. In the end there is no way I can thank Ramzi and his guys for everything they've done to the Mustang. Over the years there developed a 4th trait that has as much value as the other 3 for me and that's FRIENDSHIP. Ramzi is no longer just "my mechanic" he also a friend. I can not recommend De Soto Auto Repair enough. A++ all the way! read more

Located at the Shell Gas station. Great service, always come here for my oil changes. Had a few light bulbs changed out on my headlight's today. Very helpful! read more

The only place I trust with my vehicle. Honest and trustworthy. No up selling or hidden fees.

My car actually started gushing radiator fluid in Ban Nuys. I pulled into a local auto shop and they quoted me an outrageous price. I waited until the next day and had my car towed to Ramzi at De Soto Auto Repair. Ramzi gave me an estimate based on the other company diagnosis and a quick first look of his own. After getting into the tadiator more, he called and said he had good news. that after further diagnosis the problem wasn't nearly that big. He did the work and saved me over $700 dollars on the process. No auto shop has ever called me back to do something like that. this is a great shop and a really good guy on Ramzi. Dont waste you time going somewhere else Thanks Ramzi Donna H read more

This is a one of a kind mechanic! Honest and to the point. Also worth every dollar you spend. I used to go to Big Brand Tire in Chatsworth for my vehicles, but they will lie to you a rip you off every chance they get. De Soto mechanic does a fantastic job. They are true to their price quotes and just do good work! Thank you guys for always taking great care of us! read more

Ramzi and his team took care of my 06 Dodge Charger like a true pro. Car needed an engine replacement, I was able to order my parts and send it to him and that's it, easy. Engine swap took a few days and my car is running great. Definitely go see Ramzi and his team for all your car needs. My mom will be getting her vehicle serviced at De Soto Auto Repair. read more

I woke up in the morning and I found out that I needed to correct my tire pressure. I needed this to get done ASAP before going to work. I pulled my Mercedes into the shop and the worker assisted me right away! I found out that the cap in one of the tires was missing and they gave me one to replace for free! They also corrected my tire pressure for free! I've been to many automotive shops in the past for things such as flat tire, breaks, even tire pressure and they've all tried to charge me extra for these. This location did it for free and fast too! Highly recommend this place for these kinds of stuff. You might get lost of where this shop is. Just pull up to the Burger King, go straight all the way in the back where the drive thru is and it should be on the right side. Whoever the owner of this shop is, big props to you read more

Thank you Ramzi and crew! Love your work and how you get me in right away. I will always come back. Been taking my cars here since forever. Oil Changes, fixing engines, Bumper reattachment etc. Great job guys! Sincerely, Mike read more

De Soto auto repair has been very good to me over the years. They're honest, fair pricing and quick service. I called 5-6 shops recently for my wife's car to be fixed and they had the best price overall. Ramsey is a very friendly and trustworthy mechanic. Recently my check engine light went on. He fixed the problem within 15 mins. Over the years it's been difficult for me to trust mechanics so it's great to know this shop always has my best interests and doesn't only think about making money off me. I'd definitely recommend this shop to friends and family. read more

Took my car here to get brake pads replaced. Front and rear cost $500 total for parts and labor. Ramzi gave me the estimate up front and they took my car right away to get serviced. Estimated 1-1.5 hr for the job, so I decided to wait at the Burger King next door since there's no area at the shop to wait. It took a bit longer (2 hrs) but not that big of a deal. I did ask to get the tires rotated in the middle of them fixing my car, so it's possible that caused the small delay. He didn't charge me any extra fees for the tire rotation. Overall satisfied and definitely will return! read more

I've been bringing my cars to Ramzi for over 20 years. Very honest guy & reasonable prices. When he says it needs a part to be replace it does, and it's actually changed, not just clean to make it look new. I highly recommend them. read more

Everyone's biggest anxiety when it comes to their vehicle- trusting a new shop for the first time. This place was awesome. Ramzi is the man, and he did a great job. He gave me the breakdown upfront, no surprises, was fair and took his time to fix the issue(s). Issues included - New tires, new tire rods, new brakes and tightened my belts (and not necessarily in a financial way, I was happy to pay what I did for the quality work). My car doesn't make a death screech anymore, rides smoother and most importantly way more safe. Ramzi you've earned a new loyal customer. Thank you for being thorough and kind. See you soon with another screechy car. Just kidding, but very seriously. read more

Great business with a good man named Ramsey (spelling might be wrong) running the operation. Their prices are real low, work is decent. Only knock off one star because they have a limited setup that only performs certain simple maintenance. I've been referred out by them multiple times for larger fixes (like transmission rebuild). I guess that's not their fault but something to take into consideration. read more

Ramzi rocks. Always so nice and helpful. I really appreciate being able to get affordable pricing on car repairs

Amazing experience! Ramsey took my truck in right away, diagnosed, communicated, and repaired within a day. This gentleman knows what he's doing. I highly recommend taking any vehicle to this shop and although i do my own oil changes their oil change rates look very reasonable. I won't go anywhere else now. Thank you read more

They don't make 'em like Ramzi anymore. Good luck finding anyone else half as talented or honest. You wont. You can't. Hopefully he has time to fit you in :) read more

Ramzi is definitely knowledgeable in what he does. I had my rack and pinion/tierod replaced and alignment done. He and the crew did a great job and had everything done before closing.. read more

Ramsey is amazing! I was desperate to find an auto repair shop I could trust and he came highly recommended through a friend. I'm so very pleased with his work and efficiency. In less than 24 hours of being recommended, I had my car back and working perfectly -and it needed a LOT of love. Fair, honest, and hardworking. Thank you so much Ramsey! read more

I called DSAR near the end of their working day. My car had a burning plastic smell coming from my vents. Their team allowed me to drop my car off without any issues about the time. They also immediately identified the problem. The parts were priced similarly to what I found on the open market. The total cost was very reasonable. My car was fixed within 24 hours. They called as soon as it was done. I couldn't ask for a better experience. read more

Ramzi and his team are incredible. I bought a new European car 8 years ago, so it is out of warranty and too expensive to take to the dealership for repairs. In addition to routine maintenance, De Soto Auto Repair has replaced my shocks, my rear tail light, my entire driver side seatbelt system (has sensors connected to the airbag), my trunk light and my center console. The price is always right and everything is ALWAYS perfect within a very reasonable turnaround time. I am so grateful (and lucky) to have come across these guys. By far one of the best shops in LA! - Joe read more

Great Service, honest and competitive prices. Thank you and will refer family and friends. read more

This review is a few months over due. I had purchased a used vehicle and on my way to work, the brake light came on. I was worried about driving it home with out having it checked for safety. I work in Chatsworth but my mechanic is in North Hollywood. I Yelped local shops for one with good reviews to have the car looked at before driving home. I arrived at De Soto Auto Repair and waited for assistance. One of the mechanics just looked at me and didn't acknowledge my need for service. He just stared and continued to work on the part he was fixing. I finally said I was there to have my brakes checked. He said I had to wait for the owner to get back because he wasn't authorized to drive the vehicle. When the owner arrived, he popped the hood and looked around and said probably the master cylinder needed replacement. At no time did he actually look at the brakes. I asked how much and he quoted something in the 300s. He said to bring the car back and he could have it fixed. He confirmed it was safe to drive. I took the car to my mechanic who actually took the wheels off and inspected the brakes. He said it was the sensor and the master cylinder was fine. I recommend getting a second opinion when it comes to this shop. I gave 2 stars since he did look at the car and didn't charge me. read more

Ramzi and his guys are the best mechanics I've ever used. In my 34 years of driving, I've lived in 7 cities and have driven some terrible cars...I predictably have had to deal with many mechanics and these guys have been the most honest and consistent garage I've dealt with. They've helped revive my 99 Suburban so many times that it's funny. I initially picked them because they were close to my home but now, even though I'm on the other side of the city, I still use them for everything mechanically related. read more

Ramzi has always been very helpful when it comes to my repairs. I've been coming here since I was a teen and still do as they are extreme helpful and friendly. read more
