My first time here and won't be last. Needed new tires on an old VW and Raymond took care of it promptly for a very fair price. Got the tires there in a few hours and had them on the car in 90 mins. Very straightforward, helpful, professional service. Other reviews say the same thing. read more

Very inviting and helpful, I was showed what was wrong with my car in detail, he worked with me on options, went back twice and overall great service, I also compared him to other places and his were better with quality! read more

Great price and good friendly service! Guys did an Oil and filter change in around 20 minutes, check the wheels and car overall!

I should have seen Raymond sooner as I destroyed my front axle. Raymond put my car back together in no time, He is honest & does great work. read more

I've been here a few times now, and it's become clear that this is the best mechanic I've used in the LA area. By far. The quality of service is excellent, but they're also a little better priced than competitors (by around 15-20% I'd say). Right there is basically a 5 star review. Quality + affordable. But each time I've gone they have always listened to every question I ask and actually given me honest and full answers. Today when I brought my car in for new filters they even double checked a noise the engine was making (that I was worried about) to be sure it was okay. Most places will NOT do that. Cannot stress that enough. They actually listen to their customers. I've had very mixed luck with Just Tires (one good location, one bad location) and mixed luck with a few other local businesses over the years, but I've always had quality service here and will likely make this my main mechanic going forward. Thank you! read more

My dad is a mechanic that owns his own shop in Georgia, which means I have a teeny bit more knowledge about how a shop should run than most. This shop is the real deal. My daughter's truck had a dead battery. They recommended we buy our own battery at Costco and let him install it. He took the time to educate my daughter on how to read the sticker under the hood of her car so she could effectively speak to Costco. In my opinion, this is the mark of a person that wants the best job for you as opposed to making money off you by selling you their in-house battery, not to mention taking the time to teach someone how to better understand their car. We were in and out BEFORE they projected and the price was right! Besides that, the shop and waiting room were spotless. I will not go anywhere else. Highly recommend this shop. read more

raymond does not miss. straight forward reliable and his prices are fair. he understands the need of your car and gets the job done that same day possibly if he can. read more

Want to thank Raymond for helping my get my truck right again. An elder lady hit my mirror with her truck and completely broke mine. Not only did I get a better price but I was in and out in 15mins the day he called me to come in for install. The dealership was saying it took more then an hour. Would recommend this place to anyone. They treat you like a valued customer and not just a dollar sign. Thanks again read more

Elias Brake and Tire - A Job well done! - Tires Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Thank you for the inexpensive tire fix a few months ago. Although I have tire insurance, the dealer was not helpful. I found Elias Brake on Tire on yelp, and 15 minutes later my tire was repaired. We haven't had any issues 2 months later. Thank you! read more

If you are looking for a genuinely honest mechanic, look no further. I brought in my 10 year old car because of an oil leak, fully expecting/dreading a costly repair. Turns out it was a simple fix, just a loose plug. It was repaired in minutes at a fraction of the cost I was anticipating. read more

Found this place on my way to work. My tire had a flat from before and had a patch. Raymond here salvaged my tire and patched it perfectly! Saved me so much money not having to get a new tire! He did such an amazing work. Come here and you won't regret it! read more

Love this shop! Always reasonably priced and everything they've done for me has been done quickly and done well. I've had times where their inspection showed no repairs needed. read more

I thought my car needed brakes, the place place I took it to said I needed both front and back brakes. So I found Elias brakes and took my car in for a second option. God bless the owner Raymond!! He told me I didn't need brakes and that my current ones were up to par and good. He did not charge me for finding the problem. He is an honest man and I appreciate him not trying to take advantage of me because I am a woman. In the future he will be mechanic. Thanks Raymond. read more

Fantastic service- thanks, Raymond. Seriously glad I found this shop. I have brought four cars here now for service.

I have been coming here for a few years now. Service is IMPECCABLE. Raymond is literally one of the best humans I know. He is highly skilled and so friendly and so kind. And prices are fair as f*ck. I don't care where I live in the county of Los Angeles, I will only come here for this guy. read more

I always get the best service and rates with Elias. My family and I have been getting our cars serviced here for years and appreciate his professionalism and expertise! read more

Great Service, quick responses, very helpful and informative, doesn't overprice his job and very close to my home! Definitely I recommend Elias. Thank you! read more

Fast and friendly service the manager was so nice and helped fix my brakes it was done in 5-10mins literally so wonderful

Nice guys and quick service. They got me in literally within 15 minutes and patched my tire.

My husband brought his car to Elias to check the brakes. Note that the earlier brake repair was still under warranty with Pep Boys in Reseda. But Pep Boys insist the car needed additional major repairs. Me thinks they knew they won't make any money given the warranty so they tried to bring up other "concerns" that would cost me an additional $2,000, give or take. I found Elias in Yelp and read the glowing reviews. Took a chance and went to Elias even without an appointment. Raymond serviced my car. He was very thorough and proved Pep Boys wrong! So I didn't mind entire day waiting to get serviced. Raymond and his partner were true professionals and explained to me the issues with my car. I am set to see them again tomorrow as I will be bringing my wife's car for servicing. Great shop and wonderful employee. read more

I purchased new tires for my mom and they gave us a great deal. The warranty is as good as Costco. They even threw in some extras! Very friendly local service center! I like to support local business and this one is worth supporting. read more

Elias is a prince amongst thieves. I look forward to my next visit with him and I am dedicated to his business from here on out for my entire family's cars! read more

Brought in the wifeys car for new front and back rotors and pads. He called me saying that the previous shop that did my tires stripped and seized 2 of the lug nuts to the wheel studs and needed new ones. I quickly went to pep boys to get the parts and brought it to him and he said to come back within 45 min. These guys really took care of my car and really care about the job they do! They really hustle but also do the job right. Thanks Raymond and the team you guys kick ass. It was my first time there and it won't be the last. I will be taking my other car there as well!! read more

I called to get brakes and they said come in. I waited 30 min and brakes were back to normal. They were nice, explained everything and had me feeling confident. Cute little family business. Would def recommend them! read more

Thank guy for your professional and efficient job. Quickly, accurately and very neatly read more

Elias Brake and Tire - Time for new tires - Tires Near Me - Van Nuys, California

My husband called to see if they would take my car to get the brakes done and they said I could bring it in and leave it over night. I brought it in right after they opened and it was ready the same day. Quick service and reasonable prices! read more

We have been going to Raymond, the owner for 5 years. He is knowledgeable, HONEST, depressed and really cares about you. I recommend him to everyone read more

Went in to get my brake pad changed, Raymond checked and said my rotor was done. Took time to run through the process and show me the worn parts as he fixed them. Great guy. In and out with an hour and very cheap for the service provided. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

Honest reliable fast service good prices The best place for tires in the area highly recommend it.. They used to be good but the owner is change so I change their review. read more

My car broke down in front of his shop and it turned out to be the water pump. He charged me $309 to replace it. 6 months later my car was leaking again... sure enough it was the water pump. My new mechanic told me to take it to Elia's because it should be under warranty since it was less than a year that it had been replaced. I took my car back to Elia's and he claimed he didn't remember me and to bring him a receipt. I found the receipt and he replaced the water pump. Within 2 months water pump #2 is leaking again. This time when I take my car to Elia's he says he cannot replace it because it's not under warranty. He refused to replace it. I had to go to my mechanic and pay for a new water pump. He only charged me $205 and told me that he was pretty sure Elias just put silicone on the water pump when he fixed it the 2nd time. I'm just sharing so it doesn't happen to you. read more

Keeping it real. When they do the work, they do it right. They tell you the options, prices and pros and cons. They treated my 20 year old truck like the loved family it is read more

Life is hard, Raymond called me multiple times, sincerely apologized, explained some unexpected distractions and offered me sizable discount. I returned and he provided excellent service! Can't stay mad at a business man who makes things right and honest about mistakes! (plz consider coming to Elias, he makes things right:) Previous post: just to be transparent. I experienced the poorest customer service and professionalism ever! The manager says come in 2 hours and $165 for front brake pads. When I arrive you takes my tires off and takes off. I don't see him for two hrs?!?!?! I tell the worker, plz reattach my tires and inform the assistant manager, this is unbelievable! I will never return! The worst business I have encountered... AVOID!!!! read more

Simon is the most honest person. It's hard to find an honest place for car repair . I took my Rànge Rover to change the back breaks dealer gave me triple the price ! He got me original RR breaks (they delayed to ship it to him he went himself pick them up ) I needed my car by thxgiving and got them and he change them . No squishing sounds all work perfect . Definetly recommend this place and him . Thx read more

I have to say I have used a lot of mechanics over the past few years and this is one of the great ones. I called this morning and asked to bring in the truck and they had a great attitude. Fixed it quick and were 100% honest about the repair. They did not try to charge an absurd amount or make any crazy unrelated suggestions. My new mechanic for sure. read more

Still the best auto repair shop around. They service both my nissan altima and bmw with care. Price is always fair and the service is great. I've been taking my cars here for a couple of years now. read more

I brought my van to Elias Brake and tires as I need to have my suspension check and he took a look at it and was very knowledgeable and recommended me to replace my Rack and pinion. His very responsible, fast worker and most important very honest definitely looking to doing all my major mechanic issues at his shop thanks bro god bless read more

These guys are great! Raymond especially! I'm used to having to check my car in for parts to be ordered in on account of how old my vehicle is (2002 GMC Envoy) but without knowing what day I would make it in Ray and crew had new tires at a great price same day and did an awesome job repairing my front suspension. Immediate difference noticed :-) Labor costs very fair good deal. Will be back for some spark plugs and eventually brakes but they said breaks still have plenty of life. Was told to come back after 4000 miles for complimentary tire rotation and alignment. Very thorough over at Elias Update : These guys are still miracle workers! Now I bring both mine and my wife's car here... will be sad I can't take these guys with me when I move later this month. May have to make a day trip for any major repairs to Elias because it really is hard to find a trustworthy mechanic these days. read more

Ray is a reliable, honest guy and you can trust that your ride is in good hands here. He doesn't push you into unnecessary service or replacement parts unless your car is falling apart and is a detriment to you and others on the road. Cash or check only. read more

Raymond & the team here are great! They are friendly & courteous. I can in yesterday after haven run over a vehicle valve. Raymond got to me right away. Instead of trying to talk me into purchasing new tires he repaired the tire. After my last oil change (3 months ago) I had my tires rotated but neglected to have the front tires balanced.When I contacted the other company about balancing the tires they told me they only rotate. So after meeting Raymond & his team, I thought I come back to have my tires balanced. I am happy I did & now this is my new place for automotive work. read more

Elias Brake and Tire embody a rare thing in this world: honest mechanics. First I called them on a Sunday (when they're closed), and I got a call first thing Monday morning. The call included an apology for not getting back to me on Sunday. That's quick, and polite. Next I asked if they would use my own newly purchased brake pads from the Internet ($14 for ceramics). They said sure, no problem at all. Next I asked how quick they could get me in - as soon as I arrived, right away, it would take 30-45 minutes. So I went there. Sure enough, they fit me in right away, got the pads on very quickly, and only charged me $65. WOW. I've paid $250-$300 for a brake job before. That's cheap! And the job was done well (I know there was a caliper bolt frozen on, and they didn't even mention it and took care of it). I highly recommend Elias. Inexpensive, honest, and good service. read more
