There are a lot of mechanics out there, and in most cases they will try to sell you work that is not needed just to make a buck. I just happened to be driving in Burbank and stoped to get gas and noticed the mechanic shop next door, and thought for a sec. , let me see what these guys will tell me my problem is on the car. I stoped in and before i could get out, i had one mechanic working on another car ask me if he could help me. That was great first impression of the shop, then i proceeded to tell him about the noise i keep hearing when stopping. I mentioned that i was at another shop earlier and they told me i needed set of brakes and my rotors needed to be changed. That was too costly for me at the time so i decided to wait a bit. Then the owner came out and asked if i wanted to have it checked and to get a second opinion, so i agreed. After checking my car they told me the rotors are in very good shape and that one of the brake pads looked to be warn and if i wanted to change the pads. I asked how much life is there left on them, and he replyed...maybe 6 months maybe longer depending on your driving habit. For being honest with me, i went ahead and had the pads changed for a fraction of what the other guy was charging and from now on i will go back to him and will recommend everyone that i know who needs attention to their car to go to media city auto. These guys are great and if you are in Burbank and looking for a good honest guys, here is where you should go. Thanks Guys! read more

I am not a person who spends time to write a review, but Media City Auto Repair is a complete different story. I have reviewed all the ratings, and let me tell you that anyone that gives this place 4 stars or lower should really evaluate themselves first. Tony provides the best service you can get in the town. First of all this place is equipped with the owner's (Tony) unique knowledge about all kinds of cars. This guy absolutely knows his job. I have recently bought a BMW, unfortunately with some issues. Tony so far has saved me a lot on service cost. He absolutely does not create extra job on any of my cars. I took my car to a tire shop to change the tires and they notified me that the center link and other parts need to be changed. I was quoted a price over $1000.00 dollars to fix those issues. Tony quoted me almost half of the price given by the tire shop. I have been a customer for more than two years and I never felt uncomfortable when I spent money in his shop. I had lots of services done by Tony and I have always been happy with the results. Tony sometimes even does more than what I asked for without any extra charge. Seriously who does that? I would recommend this place big time if you really like your car to be in a safe hand. Tony is the absolute honest mechanic that I have ever seen and deal with. It has been always a great pleasure doing business with him. Take your car there and you will be the next person writing a review for Tony and his crew. read more

I have taken my car several times to his shop and each time got a great service with reasonable charges. I like the fact that he is very honest, and as you know nowadays it is hard to find a place like that anymore. Don't take my word, just go and check it out. I just bought a car with some electrical problems. He really works hard to find the problem. In his vocabulary "giving up" does not exist. He is full of experience and loves his job. Check his shop and you will be the next person writing about your experience. read more

Finding a trustworthy auto repair shop is hard to come by. So when I found one, I had to share! Ask for Tony. He was so helpful when I took my car into the shop. I had a noise coming from the rear of my car, had no context or background to explain where it was coming from, and within a few hours of dropping it off, Tony called me explaining what was making the noise and presenting a variety of options to fix the problem. It's a good feeling knowing your car is in good hands! I highly recommend coming here! read more

I was referred to Media City Auto from Olive Auto. I was in the area looking at used cars and needed a pre-buy inspection that day, so I wouldn't have to drive back down for an inspection. Tony immediately pulled my car into the shop and did a thorough inspection. He gave me a rundown of what was wrong, what needed to be done, and how much it would cost. The best part - he didn't charge me a dime! Thanks Media City! If I lived in the area, I would definitely bring my business back. read more

I've taken my car in twice and both times were first class. The first visit was after taking my car to several mechanics who were unable to diagnose a serious problem.

It's been 10 years since I lived in Los Angeles, but a post asking for LA-based mechanic referrals…read moreon VWVortex reminded me of Stuart and what a fantastic service he provides. For years, I took my 1993 VW Corrado to Ron Wood and his legendary shop VW Specialties in Huntington Beach, CA. When Ron closed down his business, I was worried about finding a good mechanic who could be trusted to understand my Corrado VR6 (which are notoriously finnicky). Stuart did an amazing job diagnosing a few issues with my Corrado, and also with my 2004 Jetta GLI. He's probably the most knowledgeable and ethical mechanic I had in LA, and there isn't another place I'd take my VWs if I still lived there. No idea if he's still in business, but if he is, he should be your go-to guy. He's a one-man shop, so his availability and turnaround times might be an obstacle, but it's worth it to make him your first call.

First service for my 2018 Tiguan in Burbank. Needed oil and brakes checked as they were grinding…read more Stuart made sure he used the right oil and filter to preserve any warranty. First brake inspection seemed fine but after a second drive heard the noise I told him about. Found one front brake pad was crumbling. Stuart searched high and far for good pads, had to settle for dealer pads. Was able to turn rotors because rotors weren't available either!! He felt bad about needing to keep my vehicle an extra day and discounted the service. He didn't have to do that. He is the epitome of a small business man who makes sure to give great service.
