I love Earls Automotive! Gene is very knowledgeable and has fixed all of our cars on many occasions. He does not overcharge or try to upsell other services. I totally recommend using Earls for all of your car needs. read more

Amazing group of workers here. As a woman I felt completely comfortable and also like the knowledge being shared was honest and trustworthy. They gave recommendations on what my vehicle needed repaired and made a game plan in order of importance and safety. Reasonably priced and just a great group. read more

Great shop! Honest guy with honest prices and fixes my car very fast. Thank you to these guys you work HARD!

I was in the shop and the service was Excellent, they provided me all the information I need and the price was really affordable

Best Automotive Shop in San Fernando !! Found them on YELP !! Gene and his guys are knowledgeable about cars, great mechanics and just really nice guys !! I have never felt over looked or overcharged but I have been offered transportation and when I was running a little late, Gene kept the shop open and waited for me. I commute to work everyday and every time I pass a car with a flat tire or the hood up I quietly thank Gene and the mechanics at Earl's who understand that for a woman who leaves when its dark and comes home when It's dark the one thing I NEVER have to worry about is not making it safely home in my dependable and well serviced 9 year old SUV... Multiple 5-Star Reviews so truthful and well deserved !! read more

Eugene was friendly, easy to communicate with, and seemed very honest. I didn't end up going past the diagnosis phase because the part in question was egregiously expensive and not inherently necessary to the functioning of my vehicle. Eugene was very understanding and didn't charge me. TIPS: -Give him a call if you're considering stopping by. The shop is pretty busy (a good sign) and he will let you know when he will have the time to look at your car. This will save you an unnecessary trip. -If you are waiting for your car to be fixed, U Crave Cafe & Grill (a block away) has excellent WiFi, comfortable seating, and a huge menu. read more

We recently moved here from Las Vegas and needed to find a mechanic out here that we felt we could trust and would take care of us. Eugene and Danny were both totally personable and helpful. I came in with issues regarding my AC after making an appointment over the phone days before. It was going to take a few hours, so my boyfriend and I went across the street to the coffee shop and waited. When it was ready, they called us to let us know what they thought was wrong and what our options were, so we returned to chat more. They were both knew what to do with my car and were very easy to speak with. Eugene was super communicative about what we could do if the first option failed to work out, and I can understand why this place has such great reviews. Great customer service, attention to detail, and experts in their field. I'm happy to say that after our first visit here, they definitely left an impression and we have found our go-to mechanic! PS: ask to see photos of their dogs! They're adorable!! read more

I've taken both cars in and the work has been done well. On our older SUV they weren't trying to get us to do all the work at once- actually suggested doing bits at a time with the tires being done first. They don't do tires. And he wanted those done before having the car brought in for the work. That's honesty. read more

Earl's Automotive has by far been the best shop I've been to. Gene was the best! I went through my warranty company and Gene took care of everything for me. He kept me up to date on what was going on and let me know how long it would take. Great service and great customer service!! read more

A-little pricey but they get shit done fast and right you get what you pay for Real good customer service read more

Dealer wanted an exorbitant amount to fix my ac problem. Called the shop and they fixed it for half the amount. Good to know there is still honest repair shops around. Thank you! read more

Too bad I can't give this guy a zero star. His quote was higher than the dealer. He said 200 to check then 400 then gave me a price then said it would be done with no warranty!!!! Wtf don't go here go to the dealership! read more

Earl's is my new shop. This place rocks. My motorcycle had a problem and I took it to the bike shop a few days ago. They held it hostage for a hundred and forty bucks to replace a fuse. The same problem popped up again and since I knew what it was, I went to the nearest shop' which was Earl's Automotive. I asked the friendly guy behind the counter how much it would be to just sell me the fuse. His price? Not $140...he quoted me "free-ninety-free" and handed me the fuse. Anybody who will do that for someone who stuck, I don't care how cheap the part is, earns my business when it's a big problem. Thanks again, Earl's Automotive! read more

Went in for a quote and was given an unreasonable price compared to my dealers which had warranty as well and they didn't provide that. When asked about price person was rude and unwilling to negotiate or bring the price down to a reasonable one. I would give it 0 stars if I could. read more

Honest! Trustworthy! I took my car there for a issue that Galpin Service center told me was over 4K to repair and Earls found that they unplugged a sensor and wanted to overcharge me for no reason. Earls charged my Freon and I was on my way. I will take my vehicles there for repairs so should you. read more

Hi, Yelpers! First off if your not going to see Gene your already making a huge mistake. I'm a business owner that has used yelp for 15 plus years, so I understand the value of a quality repair and excellent service. I have had 10 plus customers vehicle run through here for several needs, and yes even my own truck. Gene, has always gone above and beyond for me on every aspect of the repairs brought to him. I have even referred family and good friends to him. Everything is always the same, solid 95% perfect, I'm picky in the auto business and know how hard it is to find someone honest. Well look no further, Earl's automotive is a great place to have a repair done. Don't let the looks of the shop fool you, he is an icon in the area and the local P.D. Uses him too. Gene, I can say enough here about your business other then, if you don't know your missing out. Thanks Rick read more

Gene was very nice and he keep me up to date with what was going on with my car. He fixed my air conditioning in my Mercedes and it's working good. I highly recommend this shop. read more

I went to this shop after I saw its good reviews on Yelp. I spoke with Gene. He was very honest about how much work my car would need. He charges $125 for the diagnostic part but he DID NOT CHARGE me at all saying that it didn't take him long to diagnose the problem. I didn't even have him fix my car just because of the amount of work my car would need and he was very understanding about it. This shop is not after the money. Highly recommended! read more

Nobody can get the ac figured out in my work van. Being in the emergency service and repair field, leaving my van for days in and not get it figured out is not ideal This place figured it out and got it fixed. 4 or 5 other places never mentioned what he did. Not even the Ford dealer. My ac works and I'm fully satisfied with the work and service. I'm perfectly fine with a shop not knowing. But just say you can't figure out and don't waste my time. Earl's was the right decision. He is a 20 min drive from me. I have a lot of mechanics on foothill where I live. However, I rather take the drive for the quality and not the convenience. read more

Omg the best service in automotive and ac, the price are reasonable, and exceptional costumer service, thanks!!

This place is top notch. It's a white boy mechanic working in San Fernando. Need I say more? He does solid work and you can trust him. In life you get what you pay for. If you want a cheap mechanic you can haggle prices with, head over to Pacoima and hit up just about any shop you find there. Those places are a dime a dozen. If you want a knowledgable, honest and fair mechanic, head over to Earl's Automotive!!! read more

Excellent performance they did to my Yaris G35. I got into a accident that ravaged my rear bumper.However they enhanced it to look like nothing happened.The price was way better then local competition. I saved about $1,000.For marvelous job, excellent labor, and superb service.Thanks again guys for making the best out of my situation. read more

My 2010 camaro a/c wasn't working and other shops were telling me it's the compressor it's the blend door and another mechanic said he did add Freon so they say. Looked up earls on yelp saw the 5 stars and decided to take it here instead. Best decision ever! It was just low on Freon, apparently other mechanic just lied about putting some in there. Thank you Eugene! read more

My trucked died right in front of their business and when I asked for some help, the two gentlemen that were on shift came to my rescue. My battery had died and they were kind to give me a jump wish me a good day. I was very appreciative of that kindness and know when I need any future help with my automobile, I'll go out of my way to stop at Earl's read more

Earl's Automotive - The service here is great and the staff are amazingly helpful. - Auto Repair Near Me - San Fernando, California

I highly recommend Earl's Auto & Air Conditioning repair Shop! Eugene has great service skills, and he stands by his Labor & parts warranty! I called him a day prior to taking my car for an AC compressor. He gave me a ballpark quote and the next day completed the repairs by the end of the day! I was pleased with the overall work. The expense was worth the overalls professional service! Cesar / Sylmar CA read more

Expert and knowledgeable staff not to mention super friendly. Reasonable and honest pricing on work done as well!!

Lets start off with WOW this guys really know what they are doing. Amazing staff and honest they fix my A/C for my van in a few hours. Thank God it was a minor fix, and they were honest about it. Anywhere else would of been taking advantage off. Do not hesitate to take your vehicle here. read more

I always do my homework before doing business with car repair facilities, and this place definitely checked out. I spoke with Gene about doing some work on my van after it was damaged by something which fell off a semi at the Arizona/California border. Gene asked all the right questions, had the vehicle done the same day, and got me a ride back home as well. I was quite pleased with the work and his people. I will definitely be returning and giving referrals as necessary. Thanks again! read more

If I could give more stars to this guys I would, Earls Automotive and the Techs are awesome.

Best mechanics in town reasonable pricing and excellent customer service don't go anywhere else!

Gene and his crew are the best. Highly recommended. Feel like I have my own pit crew every time. Honest, great communication, and super knowledgeable! read more

Gene and his team are fantastic. I have been using his garage for the last 6-8 years. I have a 1997 van that he has kept alive for me. He gets it right the first time. For example: I had a problem with my transmission not shifting; I thought for sure it needed replacement. Gene told me it was an electrical problem. I didn't really believe him, but then I thought, who knows more about cars, me or Gene? Turns out Gene was right... He fixed the electrical issue and I haven't had a problem with the transmission ever since. He has also replaced my a/c condenser and recharged the a/c. Of course he has done a multitude of other repairs for me (the van has over 250,000 miles on it and it's 23 years old). I have never been unsatisfied with the service or workmanship. P.S. Earl is the name of the guy he bought the business from years ago. read more

The brakes were grinding on my truck so I just popped I the see Gene. Had me in and out in a couple hours. Put whatever they were working on hold to finish my truck. Gene is alright over there. Only place I know you can get your vehicle serviced very fast and get a decent game of dominos in. Ol Genes the truth with them bones and a true car "Genie"! Keep up the good work bro! read more

I have been a customer of Earl's Automotive for 15+ years! That should say it all. I live about 25 miles away from the shop and I still take all of my cars there. From basic maintenance to full blown modifications Earl's Automotive is my 1st choice. Over the years Earl and Gene have worked on the countless toys I have had. They are always so busy with work which should tell you something too but they will make time for you. Gene squeezed me in for a full suspension and brake upgrade on my 2002 Camaro SS just in time for me to make to Willow Springs Race track that weekend. The suspension was so dialed in and I had a great day at the track. Thanks Gene! I have also taken my 2009 Cadillac CTS V to Earl's Automotive and just a few weeks ago an old Bronco that I am fixing up. I have even taken the cheap beater truck that I have to run around in and they treat it the same as my $80K Cadillac. Gene is never too busy to advise me as well when I am thinking about upgrades to any of my cars/trucks. They know which parts work and which ones don't which comes from their extensive experience. Over the years I have referred so many people to Earl's Automotive. You should see some of the customer cars that come through there. I am talking about 1,000+ HP cars that they built for their customers. I can honestly say there is not a job too small or too big for these guys. You really get what you pay for at Earl's Automotive. They are not the cheapest but they are worth every penny! Trust me, this is the shop of all of shops! read more

What can I say about this place? Just pure awesomeness. Brought my 2010 Shelby in for a transmission slave cylinder replace which I thought was the problem (It wasn't). Gene was the man that helped me throughout the whole process he called me to give me updates on where he was at and provided guidence throughout the whole repair job. At the end it was something with the transmission so I had to go to another repair shop who specializes in them. The price to drop the tranny and change out the slave came out to $525 which was far better then other places that wanted to charge over $700 to just drop it. Legit guy and he won't scam you at all. This will be the only person that touches my baby from now on. read more

I needed the brakes repaired on my vintage bug and I ended up at Earl's from a recommendation. They not only made my brakes better than new, but they tracked down new parts and finished the job in a timely manner. The price was much cheaper than at the dealers too. read more

After Weaver Bros. shut down I have been looking for a new mechanic and ran across some real imbeciles. My search is over. Gene at Earl's Automotive is very knowledgeable, highly skilled, and a really nice guy. You get treated like a valued customer and you will leave knowing you were treated fairly. read more

Took my truck in to get a/c fixed! They were quick and super friendly! Nice neighborhood shop. Definitely recommend.

Great Service Ever Time Fair Prices Super Fast Friendly Service Great Value For My Money Gene Had His Techs Jump Right On It And Get Me Out The Door read more
