He does not over-price and is honest with how to he maintains your vehicle. Great value for your money! read more

I took my car to Hart Motors for smog check. I inquired, if they do smog check. Lady working there who was really nice and pleasant, informed that they do. I was greeted by Ara(owner), he did the paper work and start the tests. It took about 45 minutes to 1 hour to do the test. There were some issues with the system. I was out of the place in an hour and luckily my car passed. During the test, Ara kept giving me updates on the car and how was the process going. Honestly, he provided a better quote than most of the stores in valley gave me. I am very glad that I found this location. I will go back to Hart Motors for other car issues. read more

I made the regrettable decision to bring my car here. I paid a substantial amount of money and all I got was shoddy repairs and an extremely low level of customer service. My best advice if you're looking for an honest repair shop: if you want an expert mechanic with advanced diagnostic skills-DONT GO HERE If you want quality repairs you can depend on-DONT GO HERE If you want genuine customer service and want to avoid a mechanic that will try to upsell you to pricey, unnecessary repairs- DONT GO HERE!!! read more

I've been a customer of Hart Motors for years. Service, quality and value. Hart is TRUSTWORTHY! I'm so happy I found him. I strongly recommend him. read more

Thank you to Ara and his team for providing such wonderful service for my NEMT van. I brought my Non-Emergency Medical Transportation van to Hart Motors for a routine service and inspection, and I'm very happy with the experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and clearly experienced with commercial vehicles. They understood how important it is to keep an NEMT vehicle in top condition and made sure everything was thoroughly checked and up to standard. The service was completed on time, communication was clear, and I appreciated their honesty--no upselling or unnecessary repairs, just solid, trustworthy work. The pricing was fair, and the whole process was smooth from drop-off to pick-up. If you're looking for a reliable place to service ANY vehicle, I definitely recommend Hart Motors. They'll treat your vehicle (and your time) with respect. read more

I needed a last minute Smog Check for my S550- I was recommended to go to Hart Motors. Upon arriving I met with Ara, (Owner) he had my car on the smog rack and it took all but 15 minutes, While having a conversation in reference to another vehicle of mine, he answered all questions and was really super nice. Car passed smog quickly and I spent another 15 minutes with Ara and another client having Shop-Talk about engines. Really nice atmosphere, good pricing. I would highly recommend, as I am bringing another car for an engine rebuild. read more

I went to Hart Motors for help passing my smog test . Ara told me exactly what to do I order to pass . I came back a hour later and bingo it passed . Very knowledgeable and I will be back when I need my car serviced read more

I have been going to Hart Motors for a little over five years now. Ara has been servicing my car and been doing a fantastic job. I love that he has kept my car in good shape over these years and would not bring my car to anywhere else. He is always the first person I go to when I have car issues. Hart Motors always goes above and beyond and has built trust along the way. I feel like there's no BS when it comes to talking to me about car issues and upkeep to keep my car working at its fullest potential. As I write this review, I just sent my car back in to get it diagnosed. You will not be disappointed coming to Hart Motors. Thank you all for your effort!!! read more

The owner is both knowledgeable and fair in his pricing. Glad to find a business close to home that is honest and experienced. Highly recommended! read more

My car alignment was messed up and my grandpa referred me to his buddy Ara, the staff was super friendly, did a wonderful job fixing my alignment. Ara was also friendly and made sure my car was in good hands, I also went back for my oil change. I definitely recommend this business! read more

Charge me over $1000 to do the rear brakes. The dealership only charges $125 and that includes resurfacing. They did replace one rotor, but that doesn't cost $900. read more

For the last few years I've been solving all problems, big or small, with my car in Hart Motors. Best service that anyone would ask for- friendly, caring and highly professional. read more

Greatly recommend this place for car services you need even for high end cars. Great work and honest people.

Ara came through AGAIN with two more of my vehicles! Can't express how elated I am to have found Hart Motors. One more vehicle to go with multiple issues to address. There's no perfection anywhere folks. However, if you're seeking a 95%+, HART MOTORS is the raters choice. Also, expect to pay a fair price for peace of mind. Thanks again ARA! read more

I was forced to start a small claims matter against Ara Hartoonian c/o Hart Motors for charging me with fraudulent fees. I won the lawsuit because the judge saw overwhelmingly that I deserved my money back. I won the lawsuit + legal fees. Maybe Hart Motors have been legit to some but not to all, including myself, which should give pause to anyone who would consider using them to repair their automobile because you might be one of the ones whom they are not trustworthy with. Please be careful. Ara Hartoonian and Hart Motors are horrible, maybe to anyone who is NOT his family or friends. Beware read more

Recently I found that my 1996 mustang had not only a leaking intake manifold but it had a pretty bad gouge mark in the head where it had been wearing away due to the seal being bad. I took it down to Ara who did an excellent job having the heads replaced, and rebuilding the motor. He gave me a really reasonable price and turned it around fairly quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to take any of my vehicles to be worked on here. read more

They tried to tell us the starter for the battery was not working even though the guy who towed my car was able to jump start the battery. He also tried nickeling and dimeing us for cleaning. Had my fiance not consulted with her father, who knows a ton about cars, he would have charged us $900-$1000 for a repair that in the end was only just under $500. He then suddenly retested the battery and told us there was nothing wrong with the starter after all. Lol he had to retest it to figure out what we knew all along-which was that only the battery was busted. I will give them two stars because they seem to have done a good job fixing my battery and brakes problems, and because the mechanic's wife was kind enough to give us a ride home. But if you can find any place better don't go to these guys. The mechanic who gave us the estimate seems unscrupulous. read more

I am coming to Hart Motors in the last 20 years! The owner Ara is a meticulous mechanic and he dedicated to high quality job! I recommend Hart Motors to anyone looking for friendly service and high quality repair! read more

Have been going to this shop for the last ten years. Really good w troubleshooting problem. Thanks

We have been going to Hart Motors for years. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Ara is our car doctor. He goes above and beyond to make sure that our cars will be in good condition again. Ara is very honest and will not charge you more than what is needed. Ara and his staff are very nice and pleasant to talk to. They work so clean with your cars. We will never go to any place for our cars. read more

My car wouldn't start last weekend and after one AAA repairman confirmed that it wasn't because of my relatively new battery, another AAA tow truck driver (named Will, who was very lovely) brought my car and I to Hart Motors. I think my husband got his battery changed there a while ago, but I wasn't super familiar with them. Long story, but I also had my husband's car keys on me, so he wasn't able to pick me up from the shop. Ara drove my to my husband's car and saved my the money I would have had to spend on a Lyft! Very sweet! Ara and his crew changed the starter on my car, flushed the power steering fluid, and recharged my A/C quickly and for a reasonable price. I can hear and feel the difference in my car. He also told my about a couple of not-as-urgent things (new spark plugs) that I'll definitely be back in to fix. No complaints! I'll definitely be back! read more

Way over priced for my Honda ac service..ridiculous numbers for doing this & that added up to a grand..wtf..! I'll be contesting it with my credit card company..stay away from this shop..smooth talking operator..hell no!! read more

Another Hart Motors experience. I had my oil changed there recently. My engine cover under the front axle has always been tricky to put on due to poor engineering and design by VW. I mean, that thing has been hanging on for dear life for a few yrs now. About a week after the oil change, this cover falls off while I'm cruising on the 405 and gets ripped to shreds. It looked like a gigantic slab of beef jerky. I took my car back to Hart, and the new cover was ordered and placed the same day. When I came to pick up my beloved wagon, Ara told me that he didn't want to charge me for the job since he felt that the cover was not installed properly after the oil change. Needless to say, I insisted on paying for the part ($200) anyway. What a nice guy though. Ara, you are the best! read more

I went in because my parking brake was not functioning properly. The staff fairly quickly diagnosed the problem (I needed a replacement parking brake due to normal wear and tear or someone setting the brake too firmly), ordered a replacement parking brake, installed the brake and had me out of there in no time. The replacement brake works great. read more

Spoke on the phone with a man that was apparently not in a good mood for being AAA certified they definitely did not hold up to AAAs standard of customer service read more

I went in to get a battery replaced and the owner calls me like 2 hours later to tell me I need to replace the starter which costs 677$. I said I'd tow my car to another place for service and he calls back in three minutes and says he "tested it again" and it might be the battery. I did get service in replacing the battery after bargaining a price. He was initially charging me370$ just to replace front brake pads and rotors. I would not trust this place ever again. They scam you if they think you don't know anything about cars. Luckily all the men in my family know about cars. Also he tried to get me to sign a paper charging more than the agreed price. His wife was very nice though. read more

I brought my VW New Beetle in with massive electrical issues. There was a lot of work and we were on the verge of a holiday weekend. The car was repaired completely and quickly and is in AMAZING working order for the first time in years. I am 57 years old, and I can't remember when I was more satisfied with a car repair. Jorge and Ara had my car in good hands..and they kept me informed every step of the way!! You have earned my business FOR LIFE!! Thank you!! read more

I brought my wife's SUV in for service. Outside of routine oil changes and air filter changes, the car has not undergone a complete mileage service. After a thorough diagnostic check up, there were many service needs that were addressed and fixed. We also avoided a potential disaster with the transmission. Many thanks to Ara and his mechanics. read more

Very good mechanic! I like when professionals can identify a problem, it was very fast and affordable service!

This place is great. I had a broken belt and was towed to them. Ari and company got on the job right away. They made sure that everything was running fine with my car. Thank you guys You are the BEST read more
