Went there for smog test and car registration. Very knowledgeable and fast! Got everything done in 15 min and was given clear instructions for next steps. I love a place where they break down pricing and help me understand process; they made everything seamless and straightforward! I highly recommend them. Courteous and fast and good pricing! read more

Of course like all shops good mechanics go other places or get hurt missed that Eddie Miguel Are no longer with them. read more

I took my new car to Auto Clinic for a check-up. They charged me $100, which was totally worth it. The gentleman was very helpful and prepared the car so it could be lifted for a thorough inspection. Everything turned out perfectly, and I felt very well taken care of. Excellent service and very reliable! read more

It took me 4 months to cool off enough to write this. Grand View is wildly incompetent and has no business touching anyone's car. TLDR: they tried to charge me $200 to replace an engine air filter to fix a misfire. I did it myself for $7 in 5 minutes in an autozone parking lot. Obviously, it fixed nothing. I originally came in for a mild slipping clutch. They told me the clutch wasn't the issue and sold me a $400 slave cylinder. The very next day, I broke down at LAX and had to tow it back. Then suddenly they "forgot" to also replace the master cylinder, another $200. I leave town, come back, and the clutch has gotten even worse. Now a different mechanic says it's undrivable and quotes $2000 to replace the clutch. Don gives off incredibly sketchy vibes, rambling about what a "great deal" I'm getting as if I should be grateful for being overcharged for them to fix the issues they caused. It's very uncomfortable. I am out of options at this point and need a working car, so fine, I pay. Next day: misfire code. Of course. Instead of diagnosing it, they try to upsell me a $200 engine air filter. When I say no, they told me I'd still owe $100 just for them "looking at it." I pushed back, the mechanic said he needed to talk to Don, walked outside, came back a minute later (clearly without talking to anyone), and suddenly I was "free to go." That pretty much tells you everything you need to know. I replaced the filter myself for $7. No change, obviously. A competent shop later correctly diagnosed a bad injector and fixed everything for far less. This place is either clueless or dishonest, neither is acceptable. There's a reason Grand View isn't AAA certified. Stay far away if you value your time, money, or car. read more

Everything! This place is trustworthy and they know what they are doing. It is my mechanic shop! Love them so so so much! Thank you team. Bernice my car appreciates you!!!!!!!! Best service. Go Eric, you rock!!!!! read more

We love this place. They are fast and smart. They won't rip you off and if you are a woman they will not treat you like a moron. I hate that. It is a small place, but they do everything. I use them to get my car smog checked every other year. They are also good at figuring out weird stuff, like my car making odd noises and why--so bothering. They have coupons for smog checks a lot so ask for one. I posted one in photos. Just put the 3 photos together and there you go. They are super nice and you will be happy. read more

Dropped my car off as I was hearing the warning squeak when I came to a stop, I spoke to Ralph, the business owner about what was experiencing, he did a visual inspection of the disc brakes and then we went a short test drive with Ralph behind the wheel so he could experience what I was reporting, which I thought was outstanding. He booked a appointment for Monday, Feb. 10th at 9am, I dropped off my vehicle, at 10:10am, after doing a full inspection he called me with results, explained what I needed to replace and gave me a cost estimate, I authorized the work and by 3pm it was completed to my full satisfaction. I highly recommend Grand View Auto Clinic for all your car repair needs. read more

Quick and reliable service. Don is honest and respectful, they know what they're doing.

Dono and his crew are amazing here! I am a single woman, who needs a reliable & honest mechanic with my older model vehicle..a Toyota so it's basically built like a tank! However, we all need mechanical care once in awhile, so that is why I recommend Grandview Auto Clinic!! :) My og mechanic in Santa Monica is always packed, so I was so happy to reconnect with Grandview after a view years of my moving to the West Side. Thank You so much, Dono, and I really appreciate You and your honest and great hard work for my lil ride! :) read more

I've been using these guys for16 years - they are the best! Professional, friendly, economical - what more can you ask. We've had them work on our Prius, Matrix and Scion. read more

Great service, I just brought my Jeep in and thought I would need an oil pan replaced and new spark plugs, but got a call later that I didn't need that and so his (Don) original estimate was cut in half. When does that ever happen. Never. Honest, reliable and fast. read more

They were amazing!!! My car was making a terrible noise and I was so lucky to be close by- they took it right in, fixed it and checked brakes and tire pressure. They were so quick, thorough and kind. I'm coming here from now on! Supporting local businesses is important. Feeling like you can trust your auto mechanic is rare. Now I can do both! Denny is awesome. read more

Don is one of the most professional, Honest mechanics I've ever met. His team at the shop are a real family who work together whilst having fun as well. Thank you so Much for your help during this super difficult time (covid) and your speedy promptness In fixing my car today. read more

Dishonest, unprofessional, poor mechanics. I brought my car in because it was showing diagnostic codes related to cylinder misfires. After they ran diagnostics, they called to tell me my alternator needed to be replaced. I explained that this didn't seem to be the issue I was having when driving, but told them that so long as they are confident this was the issue, to go ahead and replace. Got a call the next day after they replaced my alternator to tell me that now they are showing cylinder misfires (which is the reason I brought the car in for in the first place). I went to the shop before they did any more work to explain the issue - that it seems they replaced my alternator when it wasn't needed. Instead of helping me, the owner just said they wouldn't work on the car anymore and to put my old alternator back in. Unsurprisingly, when they put my old alternator back in, there were no visible alternator/power issues. I left without paying them a dollar but still felt compelled to write this because of how absurd, dishonest, and unprofessional the shop and owner was. To top it off, I took my car to another mechanic who would help with my original issue. Not only did they confirm that my alternator was completely fine (and resolved the original issue), Grandview's guys forgot to replace my coolant hose so coolant was leaking everywhere. Genuine idiots. I can't say whether the shop was intentionally trying to scam me $800 for a new alternator or that they are just lazy + bad mechanics. What I can say is they installed a new alternator when I didn't need one and when I pressed them on it (which I'm guessing many customers don't), they replaced my old working one and refused to work on my car further. Something wasn't right. One thing I'll say is that there is an employee, Eric, who was very professional and helpful. He was the one relaying info to me from the mechanics and owner (who for some reason, felt too important to talk to me). He was caught in the middle but was always straightforward with me - I just feel bad he has to work for such an arrogant owner. read more

Fast , reliable and goes over the top. Did a registration on a Sunday for me! Amazing people !

I'll be coming here for all my car needs from now on! I needed major repairs and maintenance for my Nissan Versa, and altogether it would have cost over $3000 at the dealership for just the most needed repairs. I brought it in to Grandview and they did the needed repairs, and additional minor repairs that would have been needed soon, AND got me new tires, for just over $1200. My car is driving like new again and I could not be more thankful! Don and Doreen are friendly and will definitely take care of you... I've been looking for a mechanic to trust in Los Angeles, and the search is over! Thank you!! read more

I love this place they are so nice and they are very reasonable and open on Saturday. I highly recommend them to everyone!!!

We've been using Grandview Auto for our smog checks for several years now. We never have to wait very long and they're always professional and provide great customer service. We'll keep returning! read more

I have been to Grandview 2 times in the past few months, first to have a failed window motor replaced and a brake job, and second time a more serious problem The camshaft seal was leaking and had soaked the timing belt. If they had not caught it, the timing belt would have broken and my engine would have been ruined. Both times, the manager Morgan and the mechanic Eddie, took excellent care of me. The service was friendly and done in a timely manner and the prices were reasonable, considering the seriousness of the problem. I will never take my aging 2001 Toyota anywhere else. read more

I had the best experience, they treated me like family and will definitely recommended them to family & friends.. quicker service than other locations like AAA etc... I will definitely be back next time around read more

Grandview Auto provided incredible service with efficiency. I have a very busy schedule and when I went to AAA during my lunch break, they were too busy to help me. A colleague told me about this business and Doreen took care of me. Not only was I able to transfer ownership of an automobile, I was able to get a smog check on location. Doreen was very hospitable and I recommend their business. read more

Great service and great prices! I have been taking my car to Grandview Auto since August 2018 and Ralph has done a great job with repairs and servicing my car. The people are very nice and Ralph is the best! Will not take my car any where else now! read more

I took my 1980 mini motorhome in for for repair and smog. Don quoted a price for both. The next day, as promised, repair and smog were done for price I was quoted. Rig has never started or ran as well. Being a senior gal, I appreciated being treated respectfully and fairly with no baloney. read more

Miguel is great! He's a very honest and quality person and he went out of his way to fix my car. It was affordable and quick as well.

When my smog check was due with the car registration, I realized that putting a piece of black tape over my check engine light for two years wasn't the smartest idea. I knew what the problem was - a gross gas emissions leak or something, blah blah - apparently a problem with my particular year of Miata. I'd always taken my car to Ed Little, but when they sent me away after the fourth time (the older gent there told me he hates Miatas, nice) I was driving down Washington wondering what I was going to do. My car wouldn't pass the smog test that was due in a week. How would I get to work? I decided to go clothes shopping. As I walked out of a second hand store on Washington Blvd I looked across the street and saw a sign that said Foreign car repair and Smog testing. I drove over and they said they'd check out the problem. I brought my car in the next morning and they did a smoke test and found that I needed 3 parts to fix the problem, a valve and two other gizmos. A few days later I checked in with my mechanic, Ralph, who told me that the dealer waited a week to tell him that one of the parts was discontinued. Great. Ralph had spent most of the night looking for the part to no avail, but was waiting to hear from another dealer. I decided to call around but after an hour was getting nowhere until I found sports-imports in North Hollywood. I hooked the owner up with Ralph who was able to not only find my part but find another rare part I could use- I was able to get these 2 parts valued at $550+ for a hundred bucks. Oh yeah! I fetched the parts, brought them to Grandview Auto and not only was my car fixed in an hour, but I passed the smog test no problem! They also found me a great rental car at the shop rate. If not for these guys, I would be taking the bus to work. I hope Ralph liked the banana nut bread I baked for him. This is my new favorite auto shop! Great work, great shop, great people. I can't speak any more highly of these guys. Thank you! read more

Best place to take your car for any repair work don is excellent and so are the employees Doreen the cashier is extremely nice. Smog shop also with registration l. read more

These guys are top notch. They do everything here, including smog checks and registrations. They go above and beyond to help their customers. While I was getting my smog check done my car had a flat and they provided me with a replacement tire at a discounted rate. I can't recommend them highly enough. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The owner is really funny too - he could be a comedian. He and his wife kept me entertained while I waited. This is the place you have to visit if you need maintenance for your car. read more

What a great business. From the professional person (I'm sorry I didn't get her name) who answered the phone through the smog check and licensing process this business rocks. I have referred five friends here for their smog check and license tags because it so easy. They always have really cool cars to look at while you wait and the whole thing took less than 15 minutes! read more

This place was just wonderful!! I went in about two weeks ago because I really needed new brakes, and I gave them a call first thing in the morning to check it out. I told them that I really needed it done by 12:30pm if possible for work, and they said they would check it out and let me know with the estimate. The price was very reasonable and they had the car good to go when I needed it. The breaks have been great since! They were also very friendly and efficient! I would definitely recommend this place to get your car checked out! read more

Professional, on time, reasonable price, they changed my bow battery for half price of dealer
