We've been going to Mark's for years with a succession of cars. Always fast, always right the first time and Mark, Mark, and team are qualified and comfortable working on cars of all vintages. Doing the work is only part of the gig. Diagnosing and assessing what work to do - THAT's where the talent comes in! I'll take that over a big waiting room with a big television any day! read more

Mark jr and mark sr are honest great mechanics. fixed my Toyota Tacoma, were willing to explain everything to me adequately. I like to work on my vehicles my self, they took their time to answer my questions and fix the faulty parts on my rig.. didn't gouge me and did the work in a very timely manner.. I do not like people working on my vehicle in so cal but going forward they will be my mechanics for anything I can't tackle myself.. read more

Brought my 2018 Tahoe in for a failed water pump. Had it towed to the shop, and Mark Jr. was accommodating throughout the whole process. Left it at 9AM, they called me at 10:30 AM with a diagnosis and recommendation. By 2:30 PM, the repair was finished and I was able to pick it up by 3 the same day! I can't thank Mark and his team for providing fast, honest, and professional service. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Hands down best mechanic in Los Angeles. Fantastic customer service, integrity, and a "no job too big or small" attitude. These guys are a pillar of the community and it's a blessing hardworking honest folks still exist. TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO MARKS!!!!!! BEST PRICE IN TOWN. read more

Charged AC. Working great!!! Fast and courteous service!!! I would recommend this mechanic. Been seeing him for years.

Been going to Marks for a long time and have always been treated fairly. Very trustworthy and always do good work. They are honest people

I took my car into a Tire Shop for a brake job and came out with a multitude of problems. After repeated visits back to the Tire Shop, the problem remained unresolved. The vehicle lost power and the brakes would overheat even on a really short trip. I realized I had to find an independent local mechanic to diagnose the issue, and this is where Mark comes in. On the way to work, I dropped it off with Mark, told him what was wrong and asked him to look at it. I came back to pick it up and he told me it was a bad Master Cylinder, that this car needed a factory part. He charged me half the hourly rate to diagnose, which was very much appreciated. I then took it back to the Tire Shop, told them to replace the after market Cylinder they installed with a Genuine Factory Part, and they agreed to do so. Problem solved. Car runs great, no issue. Thank you so much Mark! Your honesty, straightforwardness, and quality service is very much appreciated! read more

I had a leaking issue with my 1999 Beetle and took it to Marks because of their great reviews. They did not disappoint! Their mechanics were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They explained my engine oil leak to me and did not try to upsell me on things my car didn't need. Mark and the other mechanics had my car ready for me that day and for a very reasonable price! They also informed me that one of my wipers was not installed correctly by Valvoline, and fixed it for no charge. I do not know much about cars and as a woman, I find it difficult to find honest shops that don't try to take advantage of you. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back! read more

I brought my car in yesterday because of a sudden loud scraping noise in my tire. Naturally I thought I needed brakes. After my car was put up on the lift it turned out I had a very small rock lodged in my wheel. This was my first time going to Mark's auto repair and it certainly will not be my last. Not only could Mark have told me I needed brakes but he didn't even charge me for the time and the effort it took to put my car on the lift, remove my wheel and discover and remove the rock. Thank You Mark for your honesty and the great service. I will definitely recommend and be back. read more

Came in earlier today to get the fog lights and it's components on car replaced. This was my first time coming to a mechanic by myself and (being a woman) was pretty intimidated by the type of atmosphere it would be. I was greeted by Mark, the owner, and a couple of his staff. They were very kind and got my car in quick. One hour later I come back and I see they did a magnificent job putting the lights in, considering they were after market ones. I was also able to have a nice conversation with a couple of the workers there and not once did I feel uncomfortable or out of place. Im very happy to have found a mechanic that I feel I could trust and come to in the future if I am to ever have auto issues! Thanks Mark + staff! read more

Mark's Auto Repair - *slaps roof of car* you can fit a lot of fog lights in this bad boy - Auto Repair Near Me - Canoga Park, California

I've taken cars there a few times. They are knowledgable, experts , v. reasonable - the best around imo.

I have a fully restored 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible which was experiencing issues with the fuel system. I was referred to Mark's Auto Repair so I decided to give Mark a call prior to scheduling an appointment to bring the car in for a diagnosis. Mark answered the telephone and asked me numerous questions pertaining to the problem the car was experiencing. During the conversation I thought to myself WOW this guy definitely knows about classic automobiles. I proceeded to schedule the appointment and take the Mustang to Mark. Upon arrival Mark asked me a series of questions relating to the fuel problem. Later in the afternoon Mark called me to explain his findings during the diagnostic process. To my surprise Mark repaired some items not related to the initial problem since they could have caused problems in the future. The total repair cost was lower than I expected! I will definitely recommend Mark's Auto Repair to my family, friends and colleagues. read more

No BS, no fluff, just a straightforward and honest mechanic. I've been coming here for a few years with both of our family cars, Mark has always been responsive and timely with the routine stuff, and he's always taken the time to explain the complicated repairs as well as clearly laying out my options. I wouldn't take my cars to anyone else. read more

Honest and they've been around for a long time. They're always busy which can be frustrating but call ahead and try to book an appointment. I highly recommend this mechanic. read more

Super honest with good prices. Mark and his son are both so nice. I'm so glad I found them.

Update: I recently took my Mazda in to Glendale. About two weeks before, the vehicle was serviced for a scheduled maintenance so we were surprised to see the check engine light come on. The tech didn't have time to fully check the vehicle but said he thought it likely was caused by rodents chewing up a wire-something not covered by the warranty. He said it was difficult to easily check on this and that he would need more time; leave the vehicle overnight, job will get done, and just to look would cost $450. I sensed a scam and took the vehicle to Mark's. They actually found the REAL cause of the issue and fixed it in less than 2 hours for FAR less money. GO TO MARK'S AUTO! Great guys there, fair! read more

Mark fixed my brakes before lunch time. Super fast and super reasonable prices. Thank you Mark

I've been coming to Mark's for nearly 30 years. The family has gone through many, many cars since then, and we've always trusted Mark for his advice and honesty. From the routine maintenance like brakes, batteries and oil changes, to major engine work, transmission, fuel and electrical issues. Unlike other mechanics, I don't bother questioning Mark's prices - he always lays out in advance and always comes VERY close if not under his estimates. If he thinks he can't compete on a price, he'll recommend you to a local shop who can. If he thinks you don't need something done, he won't recommend or do it! Parking can be a little difficult sometimes because he's on a very active street. I'd recommend calling in advance as he sometimes gets real busy. He can set up an appointment and get you out in no time at all. I would never consider bringing any of my vehicles anywhere else! read more

Mark's Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Canoga Park, California

Mark's auto repair is the only shop I will take my cars to. I have been coming here for years to service my family's cars. They are always so fast and trust worthy. I have a 2012 Toyota Prius with almost 200,000 miles that runs like new because of Mark! Thank you and I will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for a good reliable auto repair in the valley! read more

I have been going to Mark's auto repair for a few years after a referral from a close friend. They have worked on a number of my vehicles and always had everything done on or before the scheduled due date. The owner, Mark, is extremely knowledgeable about all types of cars. There are a few reasons why this is a great shop. Firstly (and most importantly imho) they always have multiple opinions on a particular problem - no matter what. I had an issue with my GMC Sierra producing an engine knock and had no less than three separate mechanics investigate and diagnose the issue. The issue was solved quickly and affordably. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone I know to Mark's Auto Repair. read more

See all

I'll try and keep this short. I went to Pep Boys to get my air compressor evaluated and they charge me $50 to do the test and then told me that I needed to get my air conditioning compressor replaced for $2500. My CRV is only worth about $3500 so obviously that's not a good decision. I went over to Mark's Auto Repair And within one hour he fix my air-conditioning system with a $15 part and then only charged me an hour and a half for labor. Less than $200 later my air conditioning works amazing. He is honest and does a very good job. You can trust him with your car! read more

Thank you to Mark Sr. and Junior for getting my car fixed in just 3 days! They were super busy and got to it fixed quickly. My car hasn't been running this well in a while. Thanks again. I fully recommend them to everyone I know. Affordable and quick service. read more

I was recommended by a colleague and boy am I grateful! Old school mechanic that is willing to find the problem and fix it! No guess work but true knowledge of mechanics. Very reasonably priced and great attitude. read more

I can't recommend this place enough. I was having engine issues with my car, I purchased at Car Max, and because the warranty was expired, I was in desperate need of a reliable and honest mechanic. I looked on yelp and this was the only spot with 5 star reviews across the board near my area. I took my car there and Mark (the actual owner) took the time to accurately diagnose and fix the problem himself. Mark was friendly, honest, and did not try to rip me off/up-sell my in anyway. I highly recommend this place to any friend or colleague, and would take my car back there again. read more

The best place in chatsworth especially for classic, antique or muscle cars. Marks auto repair is on top of its game! Honest and very knowledgeable. This shop was recommended to me by a friend that has his camaro tuned there, I took my dodge challenger 1970 to mark and that car has never ran better.... the bill was even less than than the original estimate and the second time I went back with an issue he took the time to check me my car when he was very busy. Thanks mark read more

Have been coming here for many years. If you want a super honest, reliable, knowledgeable mechanic, Mark's Auto Repair is the place to go. In this day and age, it can be difficult to find a trustworthy mechanic, but Mark is definitely the exception! He knows what he's doing and never, ever tells you that you need something you don't need. There have been times when Mark could have easily charged me 100s of dollars for something I thought might be a huge problem. Nope, he tells you exactly what he finds the problem to be, no embellishments or stories to separate you from your money, which a lot of mechanics do, especially with women. I highly recommend Mark's Auto Repair. read more

These guys are very awesome! Had a major coolant leak, broken hose etc. they fixed it up super cheap and super fast, was able to go to work the next day. Definitely recommend, Definitely will be back if anything else happens to my old ass car. Thanks a bunch guys! read more

Mark has been taking care of my family's cars for years. I've probably saved thousands of dollars going to Mark. He is completely honest so if it doesn't make sense to spend the money to fix something, he will tell you, where other shops will just do the work to make the money. How many times have I told a friend or family member "Just take it to Mark". Never a complaint and ladies, Mark will never take advantage of you. Don't think twice or look any further. Just take it to Mark and rest assured it will be done right by a local businessman who does quality work for reasonable prices and will stand behind everything he does. read more

Found Mark through Yelp and being new to the area called based on the good reviews I read. I was very impressed with Mark and the work done on my H3. He put new rotors and brakes on and price was very competitive. Would definitely recommend Mark and I will be going back for anything else needed in the future. read more

If you're in need of a mechanic, this is the place to go. My family and I have been bringing our cars to him for years. He is 100% honest with you a out what is going on with your car, never tries to rip you off, and always does an incredible job. I always recommend Mark's Auto for all automotive needs! Fair pricing, great service, honesty, dependability, they have it all!!! read more

Mark was informative and complete the job in a timely fashion. I would recommend this auto shop if you need work done on your vehicle.

I took my car here after taking it to a different shop that just changed a bunch of parts for no reason and didn't do anything to help my car. My car was in bad shape. The whole engine was shuttering and I had no accelerating power. I told Mark what the other shop had done and he instantly told me that it was a bigger problem than that. Mark got his mechanics started on the car right away. He called me with updates along the way the whole time. There were no surprises. He uses all genuine parts. His mechanics are highly knowledgeable. I wish I had just taken my car here in the first place because they actually know what they're doing. Highly recommended. read more

Mark is not only the best mechanic in Los Angeles he is also HONEST and SINCERE. It is rare to find people in any business today that possess the integrity that Mark provided last week to me. He will be my ONLY go to for auto repairs in the future and will be referred to anyone who asks for a referral. read more

Mark is truly the best mechanic in Los Angeles. In over 30 years of dealing with mechanics I have never encountered such an honest, kind, respectful, knowledgeable mechanic. Last week he worked on my mother's car. She is 82 years old and was complaining that her car was making strange noises and didn't feel right. She had taken her car to at least three other mechanics who are near her and they essentially ripped her off. Long story short, when my mom explained the different noises and issues she was having, Mark immediately had some ideas that proved to be right. He did a thorough diagnostic on her car and found other major issues. One of which was a tire that was two to three months from a potential blowout. None of the other mechanics had identified this major issue! Scares me to think what could have happened to my mom. If you care about your loved ones and your own wellbeing, don't waste your time with other mechanics. Mark is THE BEST! read more

Great mechanics and fair pricing. I've come here a couple times and they are knowledgeable and honest! I highly recommend this shop!

Fast, simple, and well priced. Took my girlfriend's 2002 Volkswagen Golf in for a water pump and timing belt replacement. They got it completed that afternoon and were very friendly and knowledgable on the vehicle. Even tossed in some fluids. read more

Marks auto repair is an institution to the Valley! I recently was having some issues with my previous mechanic, so I decided to give Marks a chance! Glad I did! I was having problems with my steering, and Mark Jr was able to diagnose that my steering coupler was destroyed. I also needed some light maintenance done such as an oil change, and an alignment on my wheels. Mark was able to beat the prices I was quoted from another mechanic, and my entire car was ready the day after I took it in. Thanks for everything guys! read more

I took my Ford wagon in to Mark for a brake inspection. The brakes were making an intermittent squeaking sound and seemed less responsive. Mark checked them out and found that they were in good shape, AND DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE INSPECTION $0.00!!! I was paranoid about my brakes going out and they could have so easily taken advantage of this. MARK'S IS AN HONEST MECHANIC! Thank you, Guys! read more
