Referred by a family relative. Drove down from Bay Area to assist daughter with finding a local garage to get her Toyota Prius serviced. Meet w/Greg explained this was my daughters car while going to school in LA Area, while I live in SF Bay Area. Explained I needed to get this done and completed within a few days. Greg understood and took car under his wing. Found that Hybrid battery needed to be replaced, he showed me pics of existing battery and suggested Hybrid Battery replacement. He explained batteries from his vendor don't come back for repair. Greg let me choose and so I decided to follow his suggested repair. Gladly to have meet and appreciated the feel of a honest business man. Thanks again and gladly recommend him. read more

One of the most honest , fair priced & knowledgeable mechanics in Los Angeles ! Greg really cares about his customers and his own reputation as a great mechanic & a human being. I've been his costumer for over 30 years and I recommend him VERY Highly. read more

I have been going to G & Y for years. Service is always great and dependable. They take the time to explain things and answer any questions. They fairly price things which can be hard to find in a mechanic shop. 100% would recommend!!! read more

Been coming for years. Highly recommend this place. They really take care of my car and have the best rates. Great quality and friendly staff. read more

G and Y Auto repair is the best mechanic shop to go! Best prices, fast work, and good work, and great owner/mechanic. Greg deserves this 5-star review and he has earned every single star that you see on his yelp page. If you think the reviews are fake then give him a call and give him a chance and you will quickly understand why he is the best of the best. I will come back for any and all repairs and I will recommend him to all my friends and family! Thank you Greg! Thank you G & Y for the service you provided me. read more

This is the best auto repair shop I have ever been to. The employees are friendly and don't bs you on what needs to be done and the cost. This is my forever auto shop. read more

Very professional, very quick, reasonable prices. They do professional mechanic work and can refer out to an amazing body shop. One of the best mechanics in the area and very clean. Love this place definitely coming back for all my mechanical and body work needs. Thank you. read more

I am very happy I found the best mechanic shop in all of LA! The customer service is immaculate. Greg the mechanic is amazing he is the only mechanic I trust. Talin helped me through the whole process and understanding of my questions. Two thumbs up! I will definitely recommend!!! Honest and reliable! Thanks guys :) read more

I needed my catalytic converter replaced and this place was the best price and service I could find. Everyone was respectable and Talin was amazing and took care of me, I appreciated another woman being there. Would highly recommend this place for your car needs. read more

I've been coming to Greg for years, and for good reason. He is literally the last honest mechanic. Whenever I have an issue, he tells me to bring the car in and takes care of it right away. Very personable, honest, and never need to worry that the repair wasn't done right the first time. Staff is polite and always with a smile. Recommend to all! read more

Greg is amazing. I've been going to him for nearly 10 years and he and his team have always been honest, kind, and hard-working. Can't recommend them enough. read more

I had an amazing experience with this shop! I broke my passenger side mirror, and they were the closest shop to where I was staying. The entire team was incredibly helpful, especially Talin. As someone who has a very basic understanding of cars, this was one of the first times I truly understood what was happening with my service, thanks to their excellent communication. Even though it isn't the closest shop to my apartment, I will definitely be returning! read more

Best mechanic I have ever been to, in any state that I've lived in. He saved me at least a thousand dollars, and weeks of my time after my truck sat at another shop for 2 weeks without being looked at. Greg was honest, and kind, and didn't treat me like an idiot, which as a female car owner...happens more frequently than I would like. Can't recommend this shop enough. read more

Greg and G&Y Auto Repair are great! I was having trouble with starting my 2014 Prius and G&Y diagnosed an issue with the small battery right away. Prices and services were fair and everything was turned around in one day (and likely would have been same day if I had dropped by earlier that day). Highly recommend! read more

Came here on a recommendation from a coworker. A flying heavy object hit my driver side mirror and knocked the glass out and pretty much did physical damaged. I needed one quickly and I wanted to check the nearest auto repair that could do the job quickly. Right after work on that same day, I met Talin, who is a complete doll and lifesaver. She gave me a few options and quoted the price for each of them. The very next day, they replaced the part and it only took within 30 mins to do it. I also got the chance to meet Greg, the owner, who was very personable and friendly. I have to agree with the rest of the reviewers. G & Y Auto Repair is like no other. I'm happy that I was able to get the service done in the time it took them. read more

I've been living out here for over three years, going to several different shops whenever my car needed work. No more: G&Y is heads above the competition and has my business for life. They're fast, efficient, and the most honest and friendly folks in the biz. I cannot recommend them enough read more

They are amazing. So honest and the best prices. I had my car towed to a "AAA approved mechanic" when my Ac starting smoking and this other mechanic said it had basically Blown up like a grenade and would be about $1200. Tons of people at my husband's work recommended G&y auto so we took it there, and when we told him what the other mechanic said, he laughed and told us it would probably be between 180 and $300 at the most. It was about $200. if we ever ask if this or that needs to be fixed, he always give us an honest answer. Often saying something like, you could, but it doesn't really need it right now. Best mechanic!! Been going to them for years now read more

Greg is like a dad. He will work within your budget, prioritize the repairs you need and keep you updated throughout the repair process. I don't go anywhere else. Also, I'm pretty sure he's the only 5 star rating for a MECHANIC in the whole world . PS: I'm a girl and he didn't take advantage considering I know nothing about cars.... read more

I've worked nearby for 8 yrs and have gone to this mechanic once or twice for very minor things. Today I went expecting to have bit of a bill for brakes/new rotors/oil change etc... I cannot stress how grateful I am for the honesty and quality of service. I ended up not needing all the things I expected, rotors just needed a polish and brakes were still good just needed a proper balance. I feel anywhere else would have just replaced the braked/rotors simply because I asked and didn't know better. But not this place, they kindly explained what the issue was and work needed. It was a fair price and not to mention exceptional service. I would recommend this business to everyone. It's hard to find a good and honest mechanic, I cannot see myself going elsewhere for future needs. read more

Greg (owner) and his daughter Tali were super honest and responsive. I went in to get my tire looked at. While some of the other shops recommended that I completely replace my tire, I was not convinced. So I went to Greg and he saw that the tire stem was the only thing that needed to be swapped out. He swapped it out in seconds and didn't even charge me. So very honest. He saved me serval hundred dollars for a new tire + install. I will definitely be back for any body work, oil changes, or repairs to be done to my car. read more

I use to come here before but had to stop since they are not a star certified smog check. So annoying of the DMV to do this. I just got a new car and needed a smog check so I came back because the owner is so nice and helpful. It's close to my house so it's also convenient but I would recommend coming here. read more

Lucky to have this shop nearby. Greg is the best.

I went to Jiffy Lube recently and regretted it. The owner of this garage is honest and fair. I will continue to come here for the great service they provide. read more

Looked for a long time to find a mechanic who can be trustworthy. Greg and his team gave me the truth, no BS, and no up selling. Very thorough in his work, not only did he fix the problem but he triple checked it before releasing the car back to me. This is going to be where I take my cars from now on. Highly recommend. read more

Highly recommend this shop and Greg. He gets right to it, gets the work done and always trying to be available early or late to take care of your car. These are the types of people and businesses to support. read more

I took my totally burned out car to them seriously hoping anything was worth saving. He gave me a quote of $2500 because my car had over heated and so much had to be fixed. But that was the absolute max of what I could afford because I'm already working two jobs. When I showed up two weeks later, he told me the car was so much worse that he had thought. My heart sunk because I thought he was going to raise the quote. He told me all the other things, radiator had holes, one engine fan stopped working, tubes had completely broken, plastic parts had melted, oil was burned and my right tire arm needed to be fixed. He still fixed everything for $2500. I was so grateful! I have an old car so if anything else goes bad, definitely coming back here. read more

Dear Craig, I wanted to take a moment to write a "Thank-you" for all the times your company has demonstrated it's willingness to do things the "right way", and in a manner that keeps the consideration of the customer in mind. Specifically, I took our 14 Ford Escape Turbo in, late in the day on a Thursday (a day before Christmas), with a mysterious issue regarding failing circulation of coolant through the engine. You diagnosed the issue, and repaired the car within 24 hours. This, frankly, is a high level of service that I have seen you perform time after time. However, you went a step further by Checking all elements to pass your drive test. Thank you for your HONESTY on impression and thinking instead of me how to fix the best with lowest of cost,I love your HONESTY, the EXTRA TIME that you spend to test everything works appropriate ,AVOID unbeknownst damages or costs that happens before on my previous experience by other mechanic shops, until the present Engine,water pump,timing belt and thermostat worked correctly at NO EXTRA CHARGE. "Thank you" as well to everyone we work with which I want to mention Talin specifically also as a hard working woman there which I noticed she do her job from her heart by honesty at your facility. It is a pleasure to do business when you feel as though the people you are conducting business are looking out for your vehicle and your best interest. read more

G & Y was recommended by my co-workers, and I can see why. Greg is truly a stand-up guy. He won't do work that doesn't need to be done and he will try to get you the best deal he can. I will definitely go back to G & Y if I need to and I will be recommending them to everyone I know. read more

I wish I could rate G&Y 5 MORE stars. I just moved to the area and I need a new mechanic. My car had just hit 60k miles, so I figured I should go in for a 'tune-up' and get everything checked out/looked at. Greg was so accommodating and welcoming. I'm a 28 year old (female), I know nothing about cars (for context). Greg explained what I would need done, a simple oil change and checking other fluids. He didn't try to over sell or push me on anything else, he easily could have over charged me for services I didn't need. He even checked my tires for a leak and patched that as well. A few weeks passed and my check engine light came on today, I stopped by and he scanned it to diagnose the problem. It ended up being nothing, it likely came on because I was low on gas. He explained the issue and said it was no big deal. Car problems are so stressful and I dreaded even taking it in to get looked at. If/when anything serious happens with my car, I will feel confident taking it to g&y -- I feel so blessed to have found this shop! read more

Again and again, Greg and the guys at G&Y keep going beyond the call of duty to make sure that everything on my awesome Subaru is running smoothly. Be sure to be kind to your mechanics and I'm sure they'll be kind to you. FYI, the guys at G&Y like brownies and other yummy treats! Feed 'em!!! read more

G&Y (Greg) is the only place (ONLY PLACE) I'll send my wife and daughter in order to get their car fixed. That by itself should tell you enough about how I feel about this shop. In addition, I just bought a brand new Rav4 and they gave me 3 years of free oil change and checkups. This is free. But I rather take my car to Greg than have Toyota take care of it for free. You might ask why??? and here's how I sum up my experience with Greg at G&Y... "I TRUST HIM AND HE HAS NEVER LIED TO ME" if you really want to get your car fixed at reasonable prices by a superb mechanic, then try this shop. You won't regret it. read more

I am not selfish, these guys deserve all the business they can get and so I'm writing this outstanding account of their services. I've gone to many auto mechanics thus far in life, but G & Y hands down gets the best approval of a auto repair shop that my words can put into perspective. I had a few things wrong with my Lincoln Nav, so I brought it to a few repair shops - the outcome was not very pleasant, and I (having limited knowledge of auto repair) still knew that the mechanics who gave me estimates were flat out lying and trying to increase the amount of work I actually needed. So, I did some more research and saw all the amazing reviews on yelp for this wonderful business. Now let me be honest, these guys are swamped with work, and for good reason. I brought my car in to get estimates on repairs I would need done to get my vehicle in tip top shape on a Tuesday, Greg had a full sweep done on my Nav - finding exactly what I needed to know. The couple of thousands of dollars I once thought would be needed to fixing my vehicle turned into VERY simple uncostly repairs. Instead of just saying "Hey I'm going to need to replace this, that and the third" it turned into "Hey, this is whats wrong, we can go about it a couple ways - I'll try to fix it myself if I can and that will save you a lot of money, or if it's necessary, we will replace it." Another great part about this service is that you can feel safe bringing your vehicle here. I accidentally left a $10 bill laying under my seat (no this was not a test for their integrity) and low and behold it was still there. In the past I've had repair shops ROB me of my personal belongings - and I mean not just a couple bucks, but literally hundreds of dollars worth of stuff I've had in my car (partially my fault for leaving them in there, but then again they aren't getting paid to move stuff around in your vehicle, let alone take it). Do not worry yourself at G & Y, they are stand up mechanics. So to sum up this review, you should get three things out of it. 1. This shop does it's best to figure out what truly is wrong with your vehicle. 2. They go OUT OF THEIR WAY to make it affordable and offer a few solutions. 3. Their integrity is BEYOND reproach. So, take my word for it, these guys are much more than "legit", far better, they are trustworthy. I know where I'll be bringing my vehicle as long as I'm living in LA County - and that's saying a lot. Oh - and for the work that Greg doesn't feel comfortable doing, he will suggest another place, or someone that specifically deals with that part at no gain to his own. I absolutely love this place, dealing with Greg was like dealing with a family friend, courteous, respectful and pleasant. I only wish other businesses could emulate the achievements that G & Y Auto Repair displays in their business etiquette. These guys deserve a Business Excellence award. read more

I have been looking for a reputable auto repair shop in Glendale and G&Y Auto Repair has met those expectations. The owner, whose name is Greg, is quite friendly and will take time to tell you what is wrong and how he plans to fix it. He does not try to upsell you; he will tell you if you have other issues that need to be fixed and the priority of those issues. I dropped my vehicle off early in the morning...he was busy, but he called later that morning as promised and gave me the diagnosis and an estimate. He finished the work that day and I picked up my vehicle later that day. G&Y Auto Repair takes all forms of payment - cash, charge, or check. The price was fair and reasonable for the parts and labor. He showed me the parts that were broken. The only minor issue is that parking is difficult. There is a small amount of parking in the shop so be prepared to park on the street. I highly recommend G&Y Auto Repair. read more

My car needed relatively minor work underneath it and needed to be lifted. I bought the parts myself and I went to this place after seeing good reviews of it on Yelp, but still with an my default mistrust of auto repair shops (built up by years of bad experience with auto-repair places). Came out in less than 15 mins with the repairs done and for an extremely reasonable price. Naturally, I will be going to this place again in the future! read more

Greg and his staff are AMAZING! I first had their shop recommended to me while I was working at one of the studios down the street. The quality of work and pricing can't be beat! I've tried getting various work "quotes" from different places around town and Greg's is always the lowest AND he works the fastest! Usually, if you bring your car in in the morning, he'll have it done by closing time. I don't let anyone else touch my car! I know, with G & Y, to always expect, fast, friendly "neighborhood" service, at the lowest price. I never have to worry about Greg trying to rip me off or charge me for a service that I don't really need. I can't say it enough, if you need a great mechanic---go see Greg (it's actually best to call first to make sure they're not already full for the day---but usually he can at least get you in by the following day---same day if it's an emergency!). Just found out on my last visit that they are opened alternating Saturdays, so if you need an appointment on Saturday, call ahead. read more

Went to visit Greg based off the reviews here at Yelp, and it was great. He explained things to me, showed me what he was talking about on the car and on the computer (I'm a car girl, and often do my own maintenance, so this is very important to me), did the work while I waited, and came in UNDER his own over-the-phone estimate. It was a minor repair, but I will be going back. FYI, I failed my smog check due to my timing being off, and G&Y fixed it, and explained that the car's computer was making up for it to a certain extent, which is why I didn't feel it while driving. On a very frustrating day, when I was spending money and time I didn't have, Greg made me feel like I wasn't wasting either. read more

Wonderful customer service! This place is soo trustworthy!! This place is soo fast also! And wonderfully affordable! I highly recommend it to everyone! My family and friends have already switched their mechanics to come here! I will continue to bring my car here if anything needs fixing done! Thanks G&Y!!! read more

G & Y Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Glendale, California

The best!!!!! Greg has been our mechanic for the past 28 years! Great service, reasonable price, very dependable!

This is one of the mechnics you can really trust! Greg is the owner of the garage and has three brilliant mechanics, but still keeps an eye on everything, what is done in his shop. What i like: a) he takes the time to figure out your problem, describe it HONESTLY to you and tell you would your options are b) he takes also a look besides your "main" problem (which can rescue your car's life) c) he stays with the price he mentions d) their turn around time is really good That was general. For interested Yelpers I shortly describe my last "event": During a reparation (changing gaskets) he saw that my timing belt was almost about to die. So he called me, informed me about what he would recommened and gave me the option to come and check it myself. I trusted him (saw the timing belt later - totally done). But, changing the timing belt a bracket, which was cracked, broke. Since it is an 80s car, it was difficult to get. So he figuered out where to get it, got it, changed it and didnt even charge me the "overtime" he did with this job. Just the material. I think this is more than fair. I will not change to another garage. Thanks Greg & Co ! read more

Greg and the team @ G & Y are AWESOME!!! I had a friend that was in a bind, driving from SF to cross the border. She had a problem with her wheel. I called Greg, he tells her to bring the car in and that they would get it checked out ASAP. I had my friend tow it over there, and got a call from Greg about an hour later, notifying me that a few of the wheel studs were broken and lug nuts missing. The actual repair came out to waaaaay less than I thought it would. My friends are female, don't know much at all about cars; so they were at G & Y's mercy. To know they COULD have charged/sold more unnecessary work and DIDN'T......WOW!!! On top of all of this, it is the day before Christmas eve. Auto repair shops are normally swamped and can't take ANY business. These guys under-promised and over-delivered. SOLID BUSINESS MODEL. THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!! read more
