Wonderful all around! They are good, fair and easy to deal with. I'd recommend my friends and family to go to them. Just bought a old hot rod for my son, and I'll be taking it here for an alignment and check over! read more

I first contacted them over yelp to get some pricing quotes on some repairs I needed and they responded very fast. Making an appointment was quick and easy too. I had just moved to Burbank and I really wanted to find a local auto mechanic shop close by that I could use for all my car maintenance and repairs that I could trust. Their pricing is fair, communication is quick and easy, and great work. Support local family-owned businesses that do quality work! read more

i have been going here for my truck repairs since they opened at this location..top notch service and very friendly...highly recommended...they will have you in and out and great price read more

So I got an alignment with the owners brother last week at United Alignment & Tire Center and this week my brakes went out on me while driving and to say the lease it was a very scary experience but I was able to get service with Garage 88 and they took good care of my car! The owner was super nice, genuine, and gave me a reasonable price. With the amazing service that I received I will be returning and I'll be bringing in my family to have their vehicles being serviced here! As a women it's never an easy task of taking my car to a mechanic. I've gone to multiple shops and some how they're always trying to charge me an arm and a leg for simple things like a patch on a tire or a oil change. But this place is AMAZING! Look no further and bring your vehicle to get serviced here! You will not be disappointed. Its funny how small of a world it is because I stumbled on Garage 88 not knowing that I had got an alignment with his brother who works at United Alignment & Tire Center. What a small world! Both brothers did an amazing job with taking care of my vehicle. read more

This repair shop is the second car repair shop for this owner because he has so much work. He now has two shops and continues to grow because of the fabulous work that they do. They know how to treat their customers right and standby all the work that they do. I have trusted them to do things from oil changes to engine work and they work hard to make sure I am satisfied with the repairs. They always look out for me and take a look at the car and other things no matter what I am having done to make sure that the car is safe. I highly recommend Garage 88 because they are great mechanics and treat me right as a customer. read more

the greatest place for friendly, reasonable, expert service is Garage 88. have been going there for several years now and they always explain everything they are going to do. I would not take my car any place else. thank you Nova and Tim. read more

The only reason myself and daughter took our cars to this location. Because my uncle's best friend works there. They gave me a Quote of $5,200 for my car. They charge my daughter $1,200 her check engine light came back on 2 days later. She took it back They charged her another $450, days later her check engine light came back on. Without her knowledge or consent replaced another part and charging her another $1000. I got a Second option on my car it's only going to be a tune up & oil change value of $250 vs. $5200. read more

I bought the Maxcare plan from Carmax and this shop came up as a provider. When I called they were very friendly and helpful. I made an appointment and was able to drop my car off in less than three minutes. They called me with the diagnosis very quickly and got my car back to me before 3pm the same day. I spoke to three different people and everyone was very outgoing and eager to help. I will definitely bring my vehicle back for further service and recommend them to others. read more

This vehicle repair facility is truly the "dealer alternative". Way less than dealer and the honesty is always apparent. May times I am told I do not need certain repairs or services and they are always right. Took me 43 years to find them but find them I did!!! Thank you Garage 88, Nova, Tim....your honesty and dedication to your careers is obvious, respected and admired by this consumer who was abused by many auto repair facilities prior to finding Garage 88. read more

Found Garage 88 on yelp and so happy! I asked for a quote on yelp and immediately got a response. Nova was extremely nice and helpful and accommodating. I just got good vibes. I needed a new battery and reprogramming in my BMW and they picked it up and it was done within a couple hours. Entire staff was a pleasure to talk with and will definitely be referring my friends and family to Garage 88. Thanks again Nova! read more

I have taken my car here three times now and all three times I've had a great experience. The first two were for regular maintenance so no big deal but this last time was for repairs. I came away feeling not taken advantage of and was not being sold services that I didn't need. The problem was diagnosed and fixed in 24 hours and my car is running better than ever. Thanks Nova and crew! Hopefully next visit is for an oil change but if not it's comforting knowing my car is in good hands. read more

I took my car to another shop to have more repairs and maintenance done on my car. In the process I explained to them the ordeal I went through with trying to get my AC repaired at this shop. I figured they could maybe take a look at it and give me a discount considering I was having more work done. With no hesitation they went in and discovered that again my car was out of Freon. They also did a thorough inspection and found no leaks, and no evidence of faulty or broken parts associated with the AC. They refilled the coolant and for two days had my car at the shop with the air on to ensure it was fixed. They did this FOR FREE! I asked them what the issue could have been and they were fairly certain that the coolant was never topped off the second time I brought it to Garage 88 for repairs. Otherwise there's no rational explanation as to why my air wasn't working. Been driving the car for over a week now and the air works perfectly and just as it did before. To the business owner - If you really cared about fixing this and making things right you could have and should have reached out to me directly. Considering I spent $600 for no results, you'd think the business would have immediately contacted me after discovering my first review. But no! Instead I receive some half assed rebuttal of my review, which does not take any responsibility for the lost time and money I've spent. Furthermore, it's extremely horrendous customer service to then ask a disgruntled customer to call them to sort it out! All the while you never said or implied I wouldn't get a free repair unless you found your business to be at fault. I'm sorry, but if I paid you TWICE to do repairs that weren't done, how confident and comfortable do you think I'd really feel calling you a THIRD time to potentially shell out more money for the same repair?! This is customer service 101 so consider this a free lesson! If a customer is upset with a similar situation it's up to YOU (the business manager or owner) to reach out to the client directly. By not doing this, you've proven you care more about Yelp reviews and how the general public perceives you, rather than providing quality customer service. If you get food poisoning from the same restaurant twice in a row and the business owner reaches out to you publicly to try and convince you to eat there again would you?! The answer is no! It's your job and duty as an owner to ensure everyone at your company is doing all they can to not only perfect their craft, but make customers happy. No business is perfect! There will be bumps in the road, and issues that arise and that's apparent with anything in life (especially business). It's how you handle those issues that make companies more worth while than others. Even if I was given a partial or full refund (which you should consider) I would still never go back to this shop or reconsider this review. Future customers beware! I prefaced my first review on the notions of I completely understand people have had great experiences here. I'm not here to slander or discredit a good business from continuing to excel at what they do. This was just my personal experience here and due to what I've gone through I cannot recommend or endorse this place to anyone. read more

MY PEOPLE!! THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING! My car needed to get serviced, and I'm relatively new to the area, they got back to my questions & quote request very promptly. After bringing my car in, they were very professional, knowledgeable and all around great people! I've now brought my car back 2 more times for other things! I also feel safe and confident that they aren't playing any funny games and trying to over charge or tag extra things on (the way every shop should be). Just honest reliable business! Thanks Garage 88! read more

I searched 6 other shops before finding Nick at Garage 88. He was responsive by text and I felt comfortable enough to drive from Korea Town to here to have lift springs installed onto my rav4. He also gave me the best price by far! The car looks great and I am super satisfied with the work! Would definitely come back here. If you're looking for shop that is affordable, honest and provides excellent customer service, I highly recommend Garage 88. read more

Garage 88 - 2020 Rav4 with Eibach Lift Springs - Auto Repair Near Me - Burbank, California

See all

I don't normally leave reviews and I have no desire to leave a bad one. But I feel the need to express my experience. I called in to get a quote for lowering my car. The gentlemen's name which I don't remember told me it would be AROUND $400. So I took in my car and spoke to George. He told me they're currently fully booked, but to bring it in the following Tuesday and they can get it done. He took down my # and name, and told me he would call within a day to confirm my appointment and pricing. This was Thursday. I NEVER got a call back so I called the following Monday to see if my appointment for Tuesday was still good to go. George answered the phone and told me sorry he didn't call back, he forgot and lost my info. I said no problem. He took down my number again and told me he would call me within the hour to get me a quote. Never heard back from him again. I called just now (2 weeks later), spoke to George and he quoted me $850 without alignment. Really wanted to like this place but I would never support a business that ignores their customers. Especially after I had reached out to them multiple times. Also, their original quote doesn't align with what they eventually told me it would cost. It was more than double! Something is not right here, and I get a weird feeling about this place. Take my word for it or don't, but that is my experience. And I would NOT recommend this place. read more

I was referred to Garage 88 through carmax's website and am very happy with the work done by the mechanics. They replaced my rear axles and shocks and my trucks performance has been noticeably better. I would definitely recommend and will bring my car back in the future. read more

Garage 88 headed by Nova offers very reasonable prices, and provides sound advice. He is reliable and has the desire to build loyalty from his clientele. I had him replace all tires and all shocks on my old BMW 328i after comparing prices. read more

Took my car in for a major service and I am very satisfied with the work and the professionalism of the crew. All the work done was first explained to me and ok'd by me before moving forward.

Went in for a 2" leveling kit install and alignment. Worked with Tim the whole time and he was honest, reliable, and kept his word about pricing and work (hard to find now a days). The shop had the best prices in town and they also have deals on rims and tires if anyone Is interested. They warranty their labor and parts as well and honor it. Would recommend to anyone looking to get work done! read more

Friendly and helpful, thanks! Good pricing and family owned is a plus.

I had an issue at Bmw Center which they quoted me $1600 for repair. Nova fixed my issue and saved me over $1000 in repairs. Honesty means a lot to me especially during this scamdemic, oops I mean pandemic. Thank you guys a lot. White BMW 525i read more

They were great, made an appointment and they ran a diagnostic. The explained the issue and remedy clearly and fixed my issue quick and affordable. Very pleased and will be back in the future for sure. read more

Took my SRT here for some much needed fluids. Transmission oil, brake fluid and coolant. Best price in LA! Dropped him off in the morning and it was done by the afternoon. They also told me my rear brakes were at 10% and needed changing (Did it myself of course). All in all honest service by good people. read more

I found 88 Garage through a Yelp and we were very impressed at their professionalism ! They gave me a quote to fix an axel on my daughters car and after we dropped it off it turned out to be a more complicated job . They said they would do the job for the original quote! Great service and integrity ! I would definitely recommend them ! read more

Couple days ago, I hit a big rock on the highway. It broke my rim and popped my tire. I needed to get it fixed asap so I called Victory Auto Body and they referred me to Garage 88 to do the job. My rims were discontinued so I had to get 4 new ones. They were quick and got the job done in one day! I was very pleased with the results. Thank you Garage 88! read more

Nova and his team are awesome. Very friendly, easy to talk to, attentive to my needs, and in a great location. After shopping around for RV/Travel Trailer tires, I feel like I got the best possible price and great service to boot. I will definitely bring my other cars for tires and service and I highly recommend them to everyone. read more

Been bringing multiple cars into Nova and the team and they have always been great. We always talk through the issue and all of the options they have to move forward. They've always been good on price and great on communication! read more

Took my 2010 Camaro SS, needed a sensor and hose replaced also did a complete diagnostic of the car. Very happy, Nova is is very honest and approachable. Best of all they work on classic American muscle cars as well. read more

I brought my 2014 Ford in for a smog, the wait time was minimal with how busy they were. Tim was very kind and greeted everyone in the office with a smile- very professional. A lot of the costumers leaving seemed very happy with there cars. Glad I found an honest and reliable shop to start coming to! read more

Nova and George are great guys. Very kind and knowledgeable. It hard trusting mechanics, because you just don't know what they're doing. But these guys know more than me so I put my car in their hands. The pricing is a bit high. Two fixes this year (it's 2020) and I've paid 6000 bucks total to them. The car is running so I suppose the repairs worked. I would say take your car here, but get your upfront estimate in writing just in case. read more

Called to inquire about oil change man was most pleasant and kind! When I need something else I will call him. BTW this is the lady with the Toyota sienna have a great weekend! read more

So i had that moment that we all fear as motor vehicle drivers...the dreaded BLINKING ENGINE LIGHT!! I reached out to Nova and the team over at Garage 88 and they were able to get me in first thing in the morning. Not only that, they drove me back home while my car was being repaired!! Talk about above and beyond!! The car came back running like a dream and within a very respectable timeframe. I can't say enough good things about Nova and his team over at 88 garage. Exemplary work, Amazing customer service, and very affordable pricing. You've gained a customer for life as long as I'm in North Hollywood. Thank you again! -Wes read more

My BMW X5 went in for a routine inspection. Never before was I treated to such efficient and thorough work on my SUV in addition to being treated very kindly and respectfully. George and Nova and his associates kindly explained all that they did on my SUV and explained to me what to look out for in the future. The whole group there were extremely knowledgeable, honest and respectful. I intent to continue to go there for any issues I may have with my SUV and would highly recommend them to everyone with any kind of car needs. read more

I hate to spoil such a good record, but I'm afraid my experience with Garage 88 was less than halcyon. Late last October I spent $1400 on a dud used ABS module that worked for about six weeks. Shortly after New Years, I brought the car back, since supposedly the part was still under warranty, and whatever Nova did while checking under the hood caused the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light to go on when I left the place to wait for word of a replacement (I'm still waiting, BTW). That was either negligence or a subtle way of saying "Don't come back." I don't think I will. read more

I had to bring my car back 3 times to fix the same issue. In the end it would have been cheaper to just take my car to a real dealership. Not only was it a waste of time and money BUT, the last time I got my car back my subwoofer near where they did I the work was dead. Distorted blown out sound. $700 to fix their incompetence that they took no responsibility for. ALSO, the top of my hatchback area looked like it had been drown in boric acid. The paint is completely ruined. Again, they took no responsibility for it. I can't afford to re paint. Flargrant incompetent criminality. I regret listening to what seems to be fake positive reviews of the place. STAY AWAY!!! They will ruin your car. They will leave you with constant regret every time you go to use your car. As others have said, you have been warned. BBB is pending. But I don't expect any real resolution. They seem really good at covering the incompetence. read more

They installed my front suspension only but didn't adjusted to the right height so I had to reschedule, when I took it at the end of that day they called me saying the couldn't get to it but it was going to get done the next day which was a Saturday. Saturday and Sunday come and don't have my truck (transportation) with me. Total cost for them to Only install front suspension and alignment was $800 flat, what should've taken one day has now been 5 days still not sure if it will take longer or what's going to happen. read more

I have been going there for 14 years and service has always been exactly as promised and fairly priced. I wouldn't take my vehicles anywhere else. read more

Took my 2003 Corvette Z06 to them to have the suspension switched to Coil-overs, everyone there was extremely professional and the work was completed in a very timely manner and done correctly. The coil-over kit I had purchased was missing one little piece to it, and they even offered to get me the part and have one of the mechanics meet me at the shop on a Saturday morning to install it, free of any additional charge. Awesome service, Will definitely be bringing this car back to them for any work I need on this car. read more
