We were on the first day of a roadtrip and our check engine came on. So glad we found this place. They They were very quick, friendly, knowledgeable, and honest. read more

Greg and his team are very knowledgeable and professional. They fixed three of our cars (an Audi, a mini clubman, and a Mazda). They even came to my house to pick up and drop off my car when I couldn't get a ride. Their prices are very reasonable. It's hard to find a reliable and honest mechanic. Greg is a definitely one! Highly recommend! read more

They are very lazy and when I got my bearings and hubs replaced they sent it to a press factory that torqued the hub too tight, which caused my brand new brake assembly to squeak. The rotors had deep scratches on them afterwards. They repaired it for free when I returned but, it took them 2 whole days. Furthermore I got a new mechanic and got my bearings and brakes inspected again because they didnt stop squeeking. Turns out, Flintridge lied to me twice about my bearings. My new mechanic told me that my bearings dont seem new and Flintridge must have pulled a fast one. Dont go here. Go to Speedy Lane Automotive. read more

For over 4 years 5 different vehicles and a location move, I can count on Flintridge automotive to be honest and upfront with any issues. Ed, Greg and his crew work thorough and consice. These mechanics won't try to add services you don't ask for like most others I've been to. I've taken my vehicle in for squeaky brakes and I received a call from Greg telling me I don't need brakes or rotors, My pad wasn't seated correctly, he fixed it and didn't charge me. He said I still have a good 10 to 15k miles on the brakes depending on how I drive, but he can replace them when needed. I highly recommend these guys, just give em a call so they can schedule you in. read more

Trustworthy, knowledgeable and honest. They tell you exactly what you need and what you don't need. I always felt comfortable with their advice and pricing. Wish he stared in LCF. read more

We trust Gerry and team to make appropriate assessments and recommendations. We continue to take our cars to them during their transitional location. Great work, great service! read more

I've taken my car in a few times now, and they've consistently proven to be helpful, trustworthy, and honest. They take the time to explain what actually needs fixing and their pricing is fair, transparent, and always communicated upfront. Highly recommend! read more

I decided to take my car in to check on the notifications popping up (brake pads, turn signal malfunction, etc). I spoke with Greg who was very accommodating and asked to take my car in. He and his team checked on the brake pads and said they were fine and to take it back to the mechanic who worked on it so they could repair the sensor. As for the turn signal, the notification did not pop up when they tested it. It's evident he is the community's fave automotive shop. He communicates with them and accommodates his customers. Will definitely come back for routine maintenance on all our vehicles. read more

First time visiting this shop and I was super happy with the outcome. Greg got my appointment for the same day, took the car in for alignment. Him and his team got started on the car right away, provided perfect copy of the before and after reading. Everything looked great and pricing was very fair. I will be back for any alignment or mechanical issues in the future. Thank you. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for these guys yet. They are everything you always hope to find in a garage but almost never do. They've helped me so many times over the years, sometimes even telling me that I don't need work done, or giving me a less expensive option. They even work with me to find cheaper parts when they can. And it doesn't hurt that they have a super cute dog that hangs out in the office. They also never treat me like an idiot, even though I don't know the first thing about cars. They're great. read more

Flintridge Auto is now offering mobile service at your home! So easy to get your car serviced and not have to wait around!

Greg and his team are the absolute best. They are resolute in their work and they always point out needs for my vehicle. Genuinely good people. read more

I had a last minute alignment I needed to get done. My vehicle does have aftermarket modifications which aren't easy to work with, and gets turned down from 99% of shops. I called in and spoke to Greg, not only did he give it a chance , but his team did an exceptional job on assisting with my alignment needs with what they were able to do. Something to keep in mind, working on modified vehicles is never easy , and can be tricky. Always call in and ask if it's something they can do and are willing to diagnose! The crew was very friendly, helpful, and finished the work asap! Would highly recommend anyone that needs a trusting shop to work and get service on their vehicles. 100% will be taking my other vehicles here when I need work done. read more

Great shop! Have been going there for years. Super trustworthy and will always do the right thing. They also do tire repairs now, as other shops in town refuse to repair and always insist on replacing. Look no further. read more

Greg and his mechanics are top notch. They take great care of my car every time I come here. They are honest and have high integrity. I don't say that lightly. I would give them six stars if I could. read more

Wowowow so impressed with these guys! My car needed a lot of work / specific parts and I had been putting it off. I had AAA tow it over and within ONE DAY everything was done at a reasonable price!!! I was sure I would be waiting a week at least. SO nice and fast and legit. My new go-to spot! read more

Flintridge Automotive did an excellent, efficient job servicing our old Lexus. They were available promptly on a Monday, diagnosed the problem (a broken gas cap) reviewed other problems in our car's diagnostics, did the repair, and returned it all in less than a day. It's rare when an auto shop works so transparently and there isn't a fear they will fabricate a problem to upsell you on a service or replacement. Trust us everything with mechanics, and Flintridge did not disappoint. This shop is worth driving out of your way for - check it out! read more

Greg did an ultimate job with water pump, thermostat and communication; quickly with fair price. Evan Richards San Francisco and Coachella Valley Chauffeur and Tour Guide read more

This review is long overdue! We've been going to Flintridge Automotive for over 5 years now. Greg, Armando, and their whole team always take great care of our cars. These guys are the trustworthy, local mechanics everyone hopes to find. They will tell you straight what needs to be fixed NOW versus what repairs to expect in the coming months or year. They take great care of our cars from preventative maintenance through all levels of upgrades and repairs. No request is too small, they even spent a whole day this week trying to find a rattle that's been driving me crazy. Whether you have an older car that you want to last 400,000 miles or a new car that needs to be kept in pristine condition, these are the mechanics you've been looking for. read more

I went to get my ac compressor done here and they did the job at a more than reasonable rate... I highly recommend flintridge auto for your car repairs. Thank you to everyone at this establishment especially Greg for installing my compressor! read more

Really great experience at my local auto repair shop, Flintridge Automotive here on Foothill in La Canada. I have no good reason for not trying this place sooner. I'm very happy and impressed with the service and quality. I have a 23 year old truck/SUV that I was struggling to find good service for. Repairs were made elsewhere in the past that were clearly not solving the problems. I stopped by earlier this week and chatted with the good folks. They offered to drive me home, and then kept in communication during the week including with detailed quote / estimate, timing updates, and pictures of what they were replacing. I got the car back and it honestly feels like a new car. They definitely know what they are doing and worked on the car and fixed it as if it were their own. Very happy. Will be back. Highly recommend. read more

I have had a scan code that needed to be cleared on my Chevy volt for 8 months. I had already fixed the issue but every mechanic I called said they need to charge a diagnostic fee of minimum $250. Even though I had already paid for and fixed the issue myself. I called Flintridge Automotive and they said I could come over whenever- no appointment or payment needed and cleared my code within MINUTES. They were kind, efficient and trusted that I had addressed the issue correctly not needing additional services. 10/10 recommend. I am definitely coming back here! read more

The best shop in the area. Greg and the team are so nice, knowledgeable and too fair. I've taken my car in for trivial things in to be checked out and often didn't charge me for for the small things. Which is very kind compared to other shops which would ask for a fee to even diagnose your car. This shop also is incredibly fair on any service they do for you, almost to a fault. Honestly la Cañada and my family is incredibly lucky to have found such a great mechanic team!! read more

Highly recommend this place for any of your automotive needs. They were kind enough to complementary check an Audi A5 that I almost bought. They saved me a ton of time and hassle by doing this for me. I didn't end up purchasing the vehicle due to suspension and oil issues. The owner of the vehicle refused to go down in price or fix the issues, and was super rattled that I had the issues were discovered. Thank you guys I really appreciate everything!! read more

My car decided to stop moving one day on the way to work. Within a day of dropping my car off to this place, Greg was able to diagnose the problem! He was quick to respond when I called! I appreciated his thorough explanation and transparency on how to resolve the issue. I got my car back and running within 2 days! Glad to do business here. Thank you, Greg + team! read more

I had a great experience. Very friendly and helpful. I took my car in with a slow leak in one tire. They had the tire off right away and found a small nail in the tread, fortunately in a spot that was easy to repair. Another ten minutes and the tire was fixed, back on the car and I was ready to go. On top of that they didn't charge me anything. Great place. Where's that sixth star? read more

Everyone at Flintridge automotive is friendly and helpful. They always do a great job on repairs at a fair price.

This mechanic shop pretty much does every car brand. Hands-down Greg and his team our customer oriented and they know what they are doing. It is good to have competent mechanics working on our cars. Every time I have an issue I drive all the way from Santa Clarita to Greg shop just because I know he will take care of it the right way. One stop shop. This guy knows what he's doing. read more

Awesome customer service. Owner helped me out with a small issue on a Saturday morning. Called in and he was able to do it on the same day. Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend! read more

Doesn't look like much from the street but they are really top notch. Flexible on timing, do a good job at a fair price (not the cheapest and it's not a complaint) and the guys are nice. Never remember the boss name but he is always there and does a good job at informing you on repairs progress by calling. Should have used them earlier but glad I finally did for the last 2-3 years read more

Greg, at Flintridge Automotive (F.A.), performed a miracle for me today! If I could grant 10 stars for the unbelievable service I received today, I'd award them instantly. As a first timer, I selected F.A. because of its top-notch, 4.9 yelp reviews. I called and was welcomed by Greg to come in fora new battery. Pulling in, I receive an instant hello. I recapped my phone message to Tech Armando who greeted me. Armando gave me the full 411! "I can have new battery in about an hour for $284.00 out the door." Bingo! Tech Armando kindly removed my car key from my key chain, and said he'd call once my car was ready. In the time frame given, my ride was ready. As I paid for my service, Greg was prompted to check the warranty on my old battery that had been replaced. He found that the warranty for it had just expired. Even so, (here's the altruistic act) he decided to go ahead and honor the warranty anyway!!!! He boldly voided the sale!!! I paid absolutely $0 for my new Interstate battery. I had tried 4 other places earlier in the day before F.A. I was convinced I'd have to be on lockdown the entire weekend without my wheels because no one was making time for my cold-call job. But not Greg!!!! Integrity, fairness, benevolence, and knowledge are the names of his game! Unforgettable!!! I have already told 5 friends about today's victory. The experience will be told over and over and over!!! Greg, Armando, and team, I will be throwing High-5s and special prayers for your continued, lucrative business explosion every time I drive pass 743 Foothill Blvd! Phenomenal! Barbara read more

Super convenient and nice to have a local guy to go to. I only used them for an oil change, but I saw all types of mechanic work going on while I was there. I love being able to drop off the car and walk home! I did have a few questions/calls prior to my visit and they were very responsive and easy to work with. read more

Greg the owner is a very honest and knowledgeable. He has taken care of our vehicles for many years. I can always count on him. Thank you for your honesty and character Greg. You are very much appreciated. read more

There's been a nail in my tire and I went to the nearest repair shop. Turns out this place is amazing. People were enthusiastic and passionate. The price is very reasonable, they were also very efficient with the work. Over all 100% recommends this place. Also, very cute dog they have. read more

Had brakes/rotors and axel replaced. They did an awesome job and were very reasonably priced (much cheaper than the dealership!). Friendly and knowledgeable mechanics. Very happy with the work that was done. Fast service and easy to schedule. Definitely recommend! read more

I think it took me this long to finally get around to reviewing them because I wanted to keep them for the hidden gem that they are. But honestly, anybody that knows anybody knows this is the place to go when you need work done on your car. Going through the reviews for Flintridge Automotive you'll notice a pattern which is that Greg and his crew are good people. The simple reason you keep reading that is because it's true. My family and I have been patrons for many years and have not once been disappointed. These days I live in Sherman Oaks and I STILL make a point to drive my GTI out here for maintenance. Some may consider that unnecessary, but when you find a crew like Greg's, you realize it's reasonable. My only advice is to call ahead (or come early in the morning) because they can get quite busy! read more

I was referred to this place by a friend and I'm so glad I was. I have brought my car here twice and both times I had an excellent experience. Communication was prompt and professional. Both visits I called and they took my car in and had the issues resolved and ready to pick up by end of day the same day. My first visit was for brake pads and new rotors and the second was for an alternator replacement. Both visits were very reasonably priced and most importantly I wasn't talked into anything extra at the moment (even though my 300k mile Toyota Camry would say otherwise). I feel super confident about referring them to anyone and everyone I know. read more

I noticed this morning that my splash shield was dragging under my car. I called this location to ask if they could reattach it. They answered right away, took me as soon as I came in, fixed the flap in under 30 min, and then refused to charge me for the service. All of the gentlemen I interacted with were kind and accommodating. I highly recommend this business and would use them again myself. read more

Greg is such a nice guy，My tesla tire got a nailed. After the repair was completed，He actually said he didn't need to charge money.When I diove and found out he also refilled my glass cleaner read more

I'd give Greg the owner and his team a zillion stars if I could; they are a diamond in the rough! I know it sounds bizarre, strange, and even counterintuitive that a mechanic and his team could actually be fair and honest (go figure!), but those are the best descriptive words for Greg. Not only is he is one of the kindest people my hubby and I have ever met, he is always spot on with his assessment and diagnostic acumen. He keeps our cars running like the finest tuned machines of perfection that they are, and we trust him implicitly! Greg and his team are truly the best mechanics out there!! read more
