    Doesn't hurt a bit.
    Robbie B.

    Time for a smog test? Look no further than this Burbank institution off the 5 freeway at Alameda. Sam has been testing my 1990 Land Cruiser for years -- he's awesome! Sam's not bad either. One of the lowest prices around (no extra 'certificate' fee) and Sam really goes the extra mile for you. When registration demands 'smog,' you are going to thank me. A hit!

    Fast service. Free recheck if you do not pass Smog test and fabulous price. Yay! Stopped by chance and so happy I found them.

    Brought my lifted Duramax into Glendale Lube Center for an oil change and fuel filter replacement…read moreand immediately realized my truck was probably the smallest ego in the parking lot. Most shops see this thing pull up and suddenly everybody disappears to 'lunch,' but not here. Maria and Cesar handled it like absolute veterans. Maria was at the front desk looking so good I almost forgot why I came in there in the first place. Customer service was flawless she had the whole place running smoother than my truck after the service. Meanwhile Cesar looked like the final boss of diesel mechanics. Dude walked up to the truck like he'd wrestled lifted suspensions in hand-to-hand combat before breakfast. I'm pretty sure at one point they needed FAA clearance to work underneath my truck, but somehow they got the oil change and fuel filter done fast, clean, and without launching a socket into orbit. Truck came back running perfect, no leaks, no problems, and no 'check engine light surprise package' two miles later. Honestly Glendale Lube Center feels less like a lube shop and more like a Fast & Furious side quest. Great people, great vibes, and solid work. Maria and Cesar definitely made the experience legendary.

My truck is on a 12-inch lift with 42-inch tires, which basically means it's less of a truck and more of a mobile observation tower. Small children look at it the way people look at monster trucks at a county fair. Most oil change places take one look at it and suddenly say things like "our lift is down" or "we don't service... aircraft carriers." Not these guys. They walked out, looked up at the truck like they were inspecting a skyscraper, nodded, and got to work like it was a completely normal Tuesday. One of the techs climbed up there like a Navy SEAL scaling a building. Next thing I know, oil change done, no drama, no weird upsells, and nobody needed a ladder from Home Depot. Truck runs great, still sits high enough to change the weather pattern in Glendale, and I'll definitely be coming back. 10/10. If your truck is ridiculously tall and slightly irresponsible like mine, these are your people.

My wife has been coming here regularly since she first started driving, so it's safe to say we've been customers for over 12 years. One of the panels on the back of my Tesla came undone after driving through a deep puddle and started scraping the ground. I still had to make it from Burbank back to Lake Balboa, so I took a chance. I walked into Dave's, explained the situation, and asked if I could pull in just to get some help popping the panel back into place. Not only did they let me pull right in, they went above and beyond. They didn't just snap it back in -- they took their time, inspected it, replaced some bolts, and even zip-tied it to make sure it was properly secured. Honestly, I wasn't expecting that at all. It was a really pleasant surprise, and I wanted to leave this review to show my appreciation. They didn't charge me anything, even though they easily could have. I was fully ready to pay -- even said I'd pay for an oil change -- but they didn't ask for a thing. I told them lunch was on me and tipped the crew a blue face to say thank you. We get our oil changes here regularly, and they're always kind, efficient, and honest. There's nothing better than supporting a family-owned business that genuinely looks out for people. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy spot, Dave's is it. If you made it this far, come check me out at Rose Garden Barbershop here in Lake Balboa. Bless.

    Do not go here. I repeat: do not go here. The owner was…read moreextremely rude and unprofessional during my visit. I simply requested to watch while my oil change was being performed, and instead of responding respectfully, he became hostile and refused to service my vehicle. Based on my personal experience, I felt I was treated unfairly and left with the impression that I was discriminated against. I would not recommend this business to anyone looking for respectful customer service. THEY ALSO BROKE PARTS ON MY VEHICLE
