As you can probably tell...Im very happy with the service and I can confidently say that I have found my new mechanics read more

We were referred to the Valley to get our engine looked at, but looked in Maps for engine shops near by saw all the great reviews and gave them a shot. They were incredibly honest with our situation and gave us their recommendations. Thank you for a great experience! read more

We have been going to Brian's Engine Dynamics for years. They have worked on our 2002 Sequioa, 2002 Corolla and now our 2017 Kia and 2018 Acadia. We stopped going to dealership maintenance service for years due to price gouging. Brian and his team is very honest and transparent with your car needs repairs. Our transmission was slipping on my daughter's VW and I asked Brian what his honest opinion is on fixing the car. He told me it was not worth fixing. He would of made 3k or more and I would of listened to his advise. He saved us a future money pit and I am thankful for it. He is super honest and the maintenance work is always superb! We will continue to be long time customers of Engine Dynamics. read more

I came in during pouring rain for a smog check. Everyone was super friendly and their service was very efficient. I was in and out in less than 30 min. I definitely recommend thud place. read more

Brian Clark is the shit. I needed to change my transmission fluid and called a bunch of places as I was passing through on my commute from norcal to socal. The weather was super gross and rainy and it was the end of a Friday but Brian was still willing to wait for me. I got caught in some Friday night traffic and came a half hour late, so I ended up just changing my oil. He also gave me a heads up to change my brake pads, which I really appreciate :) Prices are so reasonable too! His shop is tucked away, right next to the roundabout. read more

Brian is a superstar. Helped me out in a Pinch. I definitely recommend these guys.

Great people, service and value!!! I would recommend them to anyone needing car repairs!

Engine Dynamics customer service and experience was beyond great. I recently took my 2017 Grand Cherokee to their shop and Jim took care of it for me. I had an issue with the air conditioning unit that many mechanic shops I took to could never figure out what was causing it not to cool. Engine Dynamics was able to figure it out and fix the issue same day with a reasonable charge. I would highly recommend them to my family, friends and anyone who would ask. They just won a customer for life!! read more

Brian at Engine Dynamics did such a great job, and even repaired a problem that I didn't know about but made a huge difference so no charge! As long as I live near, I will never go anywhere else! Thank you Brian and team! read more

Brian and everyone at Engine Dynamics are wonderful. You won't get a better deal, or find a more honest, genuine person than Brian. Yesterday, I took my 2017 Toyota Corolla into a name brand auto repair shop, for a new tire, oil change, and to have my brakes looked at as well. I expected to spend between $500-700 with everything, but to my surprise, the grand total would have been around $1,200. I also brought my car in about an hour after they opened, and they told me it would be ready in a couple hours. About 6 hours later, I called to see when my car would be ready, and they hadn't even started!! I decided to ask around and see if anyone else thought the price they were charging me for front and back brakes were reasonable, as they seemed really high to me. Turns out, a lot of other people agreed that it was overpriced. 3 people highly recommend Engine Dynamics, and said that Brian was honest, kind and knowledgeable. They were right. I was put at ease right away when I walked in and heard Brian talking on the phone, and telling the person on the other end that how it would be cheaper to do something else. He wasn't begging for this person's business; he was looking out for them and getting them the best price. I showed him the estimate the other auto shop gave to me. At this point, the original shop had lowered the price, so it was closer to $965 for everything. Brian told me flat out that the front brake price that they gave me, was better than any price he could do. But when he looked at the price they gave me for the back breaks, he told me they were overcharging me. He explained why they were overcharging me, and gave me an exact price, which was hundreds less than the original price, and a few hundred less than the revised price. He also told me it would be ready before they closed, which was great news since it was already 2:30 by the time I brought it in. Less than 3 hours later, it was ready to go!! The mechanics did a phenomenal job, and my car is driving like a dream. I'm more than happy with the wonderful service I got, and Engine Dynamics has my business for life! read more

Hands down the best place in Santa Clarita!!! I can't say enough good things about the service and the owner Brian. I compare a mechanic to your own doctor. You want the best there is and you have to trust them. If you are looking for a place with honest, knowledgeable and reliable people with great customer service, Engine Dynamics is it! Brian and his team are truly amazing!! I would give this place a double 5 star review! THANK YOU!! read more

Service was fast. But there was another fee billed to me that was not stated when I called. Nevertheless it's ok experience. It's the cheapest in Valencia as per my husband. read more

I came in with a smog problem. I dropped my car off before they opened. Brian saw me leaving my car and asked if I needed help. I planned on coming back when they opened, but he got me set up instead of eating his breakfast. He called me mid morning with an estimate of what it would cost and have me my options. He got the problem fixed and I feel he sincerely tried to keep the cost down for me. There was an extra part that was broken, but I expect things like that. I think these people complaining about the way they're treated are some typical Santa Clarita folks that just can't be pleased. I felt I was treated professionally by all employees here. By the way, this is not a fake post. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you go here. read more

Responds quickly and is very trustworthy. Works on all cars and has a solution to every problem. I highly recommend engine dynamics. Great timing on oil changes and larger repairs. read more

I have been taking my car and all the cars in my family to Brian. If I could give them 10 stars I would too. Brian, Jim and the Rest of the staff are extremely knowledgeable, efficient and no BS about what's wrong with your car and how to get fixed so you can move on and forward. Their prices are reasonable. Brian and Jim have helped me with my car and my family's car even under unforeseen situations, they make a plan to get the car back on track. They don't rip you off Instead Brian saves you money. read more

I went to this place because of all the reviews saying how honest and reasonable this business is. I had to get an interior light assembly replaced on my car. Brian said the plastic was cracked and the light wouldn't turn off. I gave him plenty of time, dropped it off Saturday and he said it would be ready Wednesday. He charged me $242 for the part and $120 for labor to put the fixture in place. I was surprised at the cost and looked up the exact part number of the fixture that was listed on my bill for $242. You can get this exact part for $70-$123, depending on where you shop around. And $120 for installation? Not honest, not reasonable. read more

These guys are really great! They were prompt & professional in every way. Best of all their prices really are affordable for the services they provide & you don't feel like you are going to go broke utilizing their services. The gentlemen in the front were really friendly & made me feel welcome, not like a customer they are looking for money from. The service I got done today was quick & they did an amazing job. These guys truly are great & it doesn't have that big franchise chain concept. These guys do pretty much everything. Highly recommend! read more

Want the Best service in town then go to Engine Dynamics for your car service and repairs. There is no better. Brian Clark is the best. He is so knowledgeable about cars. I trust him with anything he says. He knows what he's doing. His prices are not gauging. He's fair. He is nice, honest and has high integrity. His work is high quality. He is an honorable man. You won't regret it. Excellent! Rose Rockel read more

Called ahead of time to see if they were still doing smog checks. Brian told me to come right in. Drove up, Brian himself walked out, hooked up the computer to my rig and probably was done within 20 minutes. Comparable prices to every other place for a smog check but these guys have a full-on legit auto repair operation in addition. I'd much rather take my vehicle to a place that does it all. Nice guys, professional and quick. My new car place. read more

I been coming here for years, Brian seemed honest and affordable, but times have changed at this place. He recently quoted me $630 for a water pump and belt. That sounded very expensive. I shopped repairpal.com online and got the service done at another shop for $346 total. Not sure what happened here but it seems once they knew I trust them they started overcharging me for prices. I know longer trust the prices at this shop and would not recommend them read more

Brian is great he's helping me out with my Dodge Charger he's very empathetic and understanding of my car issues I am grateful to have him working on my car read more

After some recent car troubles, no mechanics could figure out what was wrong with my car. So, I figured I'd try out Brian at Engine Dynamics and am so glad i did...my car is running better than ever, and it's a big relief to find a mechanic you can trust. Thanks Brian!! read more

Last two times I went there, the owner was rude to me. I look for a good and reliable customer service when I go to a mechanic and this place shift by the mood of the manager. He also kept getting annoyed by my accent or something because I felt that he didn't want me there. I also went after a leaking that started after I changed my cooling system and no further explanations were given. The mechanics are good but I personally can't deal with someone that looks at me with a weird intencional hate. When I picked my car the job wasn't even completely finished and they got angry at me as if it was my fault. read more

I've been coming to Brian at Engine Dynamics for the last 15 years, and my dad has been bringing cars here even longer. It's really hard to find a trustworthy mechanic when you are a woman--and mechanics who treat you like a dummy when you are a woman seem to be the norm. Not here. I grew up around cars, I watched my uncles build cars from the ground up, and I learned a few things from them and my dad. I know enough to know when a mechanic is trying to pull a fast one! These guys have never given me a bum steer. They are honest, respectful and totally trustworthy. read more

Honest, reliable, and very reasonable prices. I had to drive my brother's van 1200+ miles in an emergency situation, and the thing hadn't been driven in months. I brought the vehicle to Brian on a Saturday, and he spent the entire day checking everything out and making sure it was road worthy for me. They knew I was a single woman from out of town, and had to get the work done that day. They didn't take advantage of my vulnerable situation. Instead, they gave me a loaner car, kept in contact with me regarding all issues before proceeding with fixing them, and worked with me to find affordable solutions to make sure I got to my destination. These guys did a great job and were over the top on their customer service. My only regret is that I don't live close enough to use them in the future! I highly recommend Engine Dynamics for any and all of your auto maintenance and repair needs!! Thanks guys, for getting us home safe!!!! :) read more

Got in and out for a smog check in less than 20 minutes. Super friendly. Great price. Thank you!

These guys are so great. I got an emergency on the Highway 5,the tire pressure is lighting, my whole family include my little daughter were in the car, I am so nervous . I check the google map and Yelp,and drive my car to Engine Dynamics. Brian assign Rafael to handle it. After tire pressure checking, Rafael think it is no problem except low tire pressure because of cool weather. So easy, So quick, and Brian resist no charge, this is totally out of my expectations. You save my day, thank you so much. read more

Beware!!They wanted to charge me around $1200 for what I got done for $250. at another mechanic. I was referred by a friend. He was telling me that he had the same thing needed for his car. We have the same car. They only charged him $100. So I thought okay, I was skeptical because he also would tell me how he spent $1300 for a radiator fix. Something else where he spent a lot of money, I thought wow, that is a lot. So now I am thinking my friend has been getting jipped for years. These guys are not honest. The only nice thing was they left me with a loaner car. It had less than 1/2 a tank of gas. Before returning it, I put a little OVER 1/2 a tank back in. I told them I refilled it back up to where it was. I got a call the next day. They left a message saying, I thought I heard you say you filled the car up with gas. It was empty. We also don't like smoking in our cars. I really felt like calling them. I was already upset because they already charged me $60.00 for something AAMCO does for free. If they would have checked the car before they gave me the keys, they would have known it only had less than 1/2 a tank, they would have seen that someone left a cigar cutter and a vape in the car. It wasn't mine. From these reviews it looks like they pick and choose who they want to be honest with. My mechanic said there was only one code found. Engine Dynamics said there was 5. They typed 5. IT wasn't even printed out. I found a great honest mechanic in the Valley. read more

Brian and his crew have worked on all three of my vehicles (Ford, Chevy, and Dodge). I always receive great customer service. The work has always been done right, the first time. And the rates are fair to good -- priceless if you figure in getting it done right the first time! This may be one of the last, honest, independent, shops around. I recommend Engine Dynamics to anyone! read more

I have had 2 different cars serviced at Engine Dynamics - a Ford and a VW. I know I can trust Brian Clark and his team to only fix what needs to be fixed and charge a fair price. I highly recommend Engine Dynamics to anyone. read more

was referred here years ago by my neighbor. Brian will work his tail off not overcharge you, and give you the best options for your car, even if it means cutting into his profit. all the work they have done has been top notch, never no issues. read more

I initially spoke with Brian by phone on a Wednesday, and he informed me that he couldn't see my vehicle until Monday. This was fine except for the fact that he was very gruff, hurried me off the phone, and acted as if he couldn't care less. Monday comes around and he is exactly the same in person. I decide to let it go since it's a warranty issue with Napa and this is who they recommended. After holding on to my vehicle the whole day for a simple diagnosis, he tells me over the phone it's something else not related to the original repairs. I have somewhat of a mechanical background and I disagree since the leak is coming from the same exact part that was removed, repaired, sealed, and put back into place. Hmm, interesting huh? Did I mention that he always acted like he didn't want to deal with me and my warranty repair? In any event, I'm told I could get a second opinion. I say something to the effect of sure thing and leave it at that. When I arrive to pick up my vehicle, it's still up on the lift even thought I was told it was ready to go. At this point does Brian take any time to discuss or show me what he thinks the issue is? Nope, instead I'm subjected to 10 to 15 minutes of watching him bumble around as if he doesn't know how the lift works. Finally, he gets another guy and the two of them put my vehicle down. Keep in mind this was the end of the day and nothing else was going on. The last wonderful thing this guy does is slam my Jeep Wrangler hood down very hard. This was extremely unprofessional, and of course my hood prop no longer lines up properly. Has this joker ever worked on a JK, or does he just not care about customer property? Enough said... read more

Thank you Brian, for helping a girl out! When I felt as if I had no one to trust, you came highly recommended. I'm so glad I brought my car in to you and your guys. I was not mislead....! read more

Brian and his guys do a great job. Fair prices and he will not rip you off. However, they're always busy! So call beforehand and Brian will tell you the best time to come in! read more
