It is rare to find a mechanic who is extremely good at his work but exceptionally honest. Alfred is that mechanic. He thinks of how he can perform the best for the customer without incurring unnecessary expense. I took my Audi to him and he did an amazing job at the repairs. What he could not fix he guided me on what my options are. For me, he will be my number 1 go to expert whenever I need any automotive assistance and for anyone who wants peace of mind, reasonable charges and expert repairs, they should think the same and go to him. Compliments Alfred for impressing an attorney with your hard and honest work. Keep it up. read more

My car spontaneously started beeping and lighting up, and the gentlemen who worked here helped me out right away. Quick, reliable and affordable is pretty much the very best I couldn't ask for, and I found it here. read more

Will definitely return for future car probs!!! I popped in for a quick oil change and also mentioned a noise my Jeep had been making and they said they'd take a look no prob... I forget the name of who was helping me, but he was so nice and found 3 small things which ended up fixing the problem even the dealership didn't find, and possibly one that they also caused. Everything was done and ready to go the same day at a very fair price. I highly recommend!!! read more

Beat all the prices of other mechanics, fast and took care of me. Highly recommended!

This is the small, local, and honest shop that you hope to find when it comes to a mechanic. I use to go to a small shop in Pasadena that has since grown to a new location and thus don't get the same level of service any more. Their quote to me was so outrageous I had to get another opinion. Enter Alfred who gave it to me straight - where the other company was right and where they were wrong, ultimately saving me literally thousands. read more

Patrick's Auto Repair is my go to place for an oil change. I drive all the from Burbank to have my oil replaced here. Friendly and professional and great service. read more

Transmission acted up. As new residents, we jumped on Yelp and Patricks stood out. We called and Alfred said, "Come on over." Even though they were less than a mile away, we didn't make it another 50 yards. AAA brought us the rest of the way. They quickly diagnosed the problem and we had the van back by mid-day the next day. Great service with a smile, and an effort to save the customer money. Can't beat that. read more

I am very satisfied with the service provided to my car. It took them a few days to fix the problem. Very friendly staff, they explained everything very clearly. I would recommend this shop. read more

Took my car for an oil change and was in and out within 20 minutes. Easy, quick, great price. Thank you!

My car's engine seized on a freeway due to broken water pump. I had it taken to a mechanic in my neighborhood that I had used for over 10 years but got an estimate that seemed outrageously expensive. I wanted to get a second estimate. My colleague recommended Patrick's auto repair. I called Alfred to get a quote over the phone. He looked for a used engine, got back to me quickly and his estimate to replace the engine was $3,500 compared to over $10,000 (from the first mechanic). Some of the price difference could have been due to used engine vs new engine but still I could tell that Alfred would do a honest and good job. He got the job done in the time frame that he gave me and replaced few other parts WITHOUT charging extra labor. I will definitely be going back to Alfred and will recommend his shop wholeheartedly. read more

Was able to get my breaks fixed and everyone was very helpful. I wasn't over charged and there was no upselling. Easily recommended a battery replacement without forcing it on me. I'm super happy with their service and will return again. read more

My car's alternator blew out on a sunday evening in a public parking lot and i could start the car, i immediately did a yelp search and came across Patricks shop and messaged him in yelp and he immediately replied to tow in the car on Monday. They fixed my car within hours at a great price, showed me the old part, the new original part packaging. Great team, reliable, and extremely trustable! read more

I don't have that many mechanical problems with my cars that I can't take care of myself, but when I do I bring my cars to Patrick's. The owner has always been honest and prompt in diagnosing problems, and his prices are fair and reasonable. read more

Replaced my headlights, front underfender, and oil change at fair prices where others would ask for absurd amounts. They did a good job, overall friendly and flexible. Best mechanics in Glendale/La crescenta area. read more

The most honest mechanic around...I've sent many friends there and everyone has been happy, Hard to find good and honest people, especially in a mechanic..you'll have NO DOUBT about Harry, I guarentee you. read more

These guys provide honest service with and a sharp eye/ear for car troubles. They were able to point out most of the major issues I needed repaired within 10 minutes (that I knew of previously) but pointed out that it wasn't needed immediately. I'll be back for sure! read more

A really good guy, honest and reliable. We bought a bit of a lemon for my my girlfriend and got it fixed up nice. Runs like a top.

I've come to Patrick's Auto Repair several times and I am always happy with the service Harry gives me. He is always honest and doesn't try to sell me extras just to make an extra buck. Some mechanics would rather rip you off and i guess they are okay with a customer that won't come back. I have never had that happen with Harry. It is very hard to find someone you feel comfortable with and for that reason he has a return customer in me. :) read more

This is my go to place for any of my car needs. It's hard to find a honest mechanic these days, but Harry is terrific! He has always been fair in pricing and does great work . I recommend this place to all my family and friends. read more

I have been coming here for years and am very comfortable with Patrick's recommendations and very satisfied with his work. I find him to be honest and ethical and responsive to all of my questions. read more

I work nearby and have been taking my car to Harry for a few years. He is very straightforward and honest and does great work. I highly recommend him. read more

I love Patrick's Auto Repair! My car started acting weird when I was driving in the neighborhood and I just looked up mechanics around me. Thinking about it now, that was the best car issue I had because it led me to this place! Patrick (it's not the owner's name but I forgot what his name is... Henry?) was very patient and explained in simple language what I needed. He also quoted me reasonably. I've since been back every time I had car issues even though I don't live in the neighborhood simply because I trust this place! read more

I first went to Patrick's Auto years ago after the dealer told me the repair would be almost 1,000 dollars. Harry, the owner, looked at the car and fixed it for a fraction of the dealer estimate. Dealers are a ripoff. Since then I take all my cars to Harry including my Mercedes cars I've had over the years. He can fix them all. And always trustworthy. Honesty. Value. read more

I actually came here by accident. It is a "hole in the wall" kind of a mechanic garage that is awesome, honest and provides quality service. There are two shops side by side, make sure it states "Patrick's Auto Repair," don't confuse it for the others. Bottom line, my engine was making weird noises so I pulled in just to be on the safe side. Harry took quite some time to diagnose (1.5 hours) and said it could be fixed for about $875. It was my first time here so I decided to take it to the dealership as my car was only 3 year old (52,000 miles), the dealership took a whole day and said that it would cost me $4,900 to repair as I was no longer covered by the warranty (they also charged me substantially for the diagnostic). Huge gap right?!!! So, I took it to another mechanic highly recommended by friends and family, that guy said he could do it for $2,200. The $895 just sounded so good, so I went back to Harry and showed him the other 2 invoices for $4,900 and $2,200 and asked how the heck in the world he could fix it for $895. Harry popped the hood and explained where the problem was coming from. He shared how many hours of work it takes and the cost of the parts. He also said that despite the time he took to diagnose the problem (which I had gladly paid), he would understand if I chose to go with someone else. Well, his explanation made sense, the other guys kept their explanation short and would avoid answering questions - treating me like a village idiot. I also asked Harry to give me the bad parts once it was done, he had already saved it for me just in case I would want to see it. I asked if he always keeps the parts even if the customers don't request it? He responded that by law they must be prepared to show the part and allow the customer to take it if they wish to do so, although some parts have a "core" cost. My previous mechanics always gave me a hard time about this - it was like pooling tooth? If the part came out of my car and is broken/malfunctioning as they say it is, doesn't it belong to me? Well, Harry is the only guy that thinks I am sane for asking for it, he gladly placed it in a box and and in my trunk. He even showed me where the fault was on the part. Awesome guy, just don't be upset if he doesn't stand around to chat, he can't eat if he doesn't work. So he gets to work so that he could put bread on his table - truly an honest earner! It has been 11 months since Harry has fixed the car, friends and family that recommended me to the guy that quoted me $2,200 now go to Harry. I can't stop talking about him, I am a father myself, but I feel like he is a father figure - my auto pop (lol) P.S. Harry will tell you when it makes sense to replace broken parts with dealership (original), aftermarket, used or refurbished (rebuilt). Some parts just makes no sense to replace with original which can end up costing you 2-4 times the the aftermarket or used. A good mechanic will tell you what makes sense depending on the car, make and year as well as the particular part. read more

I was told I need a "complete break service" at national brand auto care center. I came here based on a friend's recommendation and the owner, Harry, said that all I need is front brake pads and resurfacing. Saved me a ton of money! Definetly the most honest mechanic I have ever met!!! read more

Was running an errand in Glendale when I punctured my tire on a stray nail in the road. Pulled in here, had the problem fixed within twenty minutes! Excellent service, only charged $20 for the tire repair. Great guys. read more

Awesome service @ Patricks auto repair. Honest and helpful mechanics which are very hard to find. They're very knowledgable and will always steer you in the right direction. Quick turn around on the repairs and reasonable prices as well. Worth checking it out! read more

Patrick is honest, trustworthy, and does a great job. I'm so glad that I found him while going to college down here. I went to him after reading awful reviews of the other Toyota Service places here. He has all 5 stars for reason! He tells you exactly what he's doing and doesn't add outrageous hidden fees. If you have any car trouble, you should visit him! read more

No such thing as an honest mechanic? If you still believe this, it's because you haven't met Harry yet! I've been going to Harry for years and let me start by saying that I moved to Redlands about 2 year ago ( which is about 70 miles away from Harry's shop) but I would never go anywhere else and I drive that 70 miles to bring my car to Harry's shop! Why? Because as a single female in my 30's this is the only mechanic shop I have walked into by myself and felt completely comfortable and absolutely sure I wasn't being taken advantage of because I'm a woman. Harry, the owner and head mechanic is extremely professional! He answers all of my (annoying) questions and show's me exactly what he's doing. Yes, I'm one of those people that wants to see what part was replaced and why. Harry always takes the time to talk me through the repair. Harry is also very conscious about saving me money where he can, I know unbelievable right?! If the part is available in both, he always gives me both the dealership price and the aftermarket price and lets me choose. I recently had some transmission problems. So I called Harry and told him what the problem was, after looking at it he wanted me to make sure it wasn't covered under my car's warranty so he didn't touch it until I went to my dealer and made sure that the repair was not covered under the warranty. I'm sure most mechanics would not have advised me to do so first, instead they would've just taken my money and done the work themselves. Of course, when I went to the dealership they gave me some song and dance about how this problem wasn't covered under my warranty (Damn VW dealership!). Anyways, Harry took care of it and even advised me to use the dealership parts instead of the aftermarket since the difference between the two wasn't very big. I have referred all of my friends and family to Harry, and would highly recommend him to anyone! The shop can be a bit hard to find since it's behind another building in a big lot, but once you find him you won't go anywhere else. read more
