Danny and his son and team of mechanics are terrific! I brought in my Suzuki for oxygen sensor replacement - I usually do all my own car work, but this job proved very difficult access. Danny had his mechanic get on it and had it done the next day, for a very reasonable price. All the work he has done for me has been excellent! I have a new mechanic to go to when I cannot do the work myself. Reseda Engines are the best!! read more

Quality work, excellent service and HONEST. I would recommend them to anyone. I don't take my car anywhere else.

Engine replacement. Great customer service and very reasonably priced compared to several places I talked to.

Very reasonable price. They know what they are doing. Honest people. The only issue I have is they cannot tell you the exact day or time you can get back your car, otherwise I could have given them a 5-star rating. read more

I used to take my 2000 BMW 323i to Reseda Engine anytime I had an issue with the car like misfire cylinder, changing brakes, troubleshooting electrical issues and etc. I was told about this place from a friend that took his cars there and never had an issue. Danny is the owner of the shop and he was really friendly to me and took great care of my car when I took it there. After I got rid of my BMW and got a brand new Honda, I just take my car to the dealership now because it's under warranty. But my dad takes his Toyota Tacoma and Toyota Matrix there when he has issues. Like 2 days ago when he had to replace his starter, Danny give the best quote out of all the places I check and the starter comes with a lifetime warranty so my dad did the service there. It took 2 days to complete because the original starter they got wasn't the right one for the car due to it being a special truck model. But he was able to swap it out and the trunk was able to start again. I believe it's cash only, not sure if he finally accept credit cards so be aware of that. read more

Reseda Engines Auto Repair - The front - Auto Repair Near Me - Northridge, California

Only gave 1 star because i had to rate this company! This is a father/son ran company who is all in to take your money!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE. MY husband took his car here for a transmission repair and some how his driver door ends up with a big dent. My Husband mentions their dirty prints directly over the dent and they reply "oh you have to set up an appointment for us to take a look at this" and proceeds to get loud with my Husband in front of our 8yr old son. Completely DISRESPECTFUL! In addition to the door having a dent, the air vents inside of the car were hanging out as well! Less than 2 weeks ago we took my father in law's car here for engine work and the broke the door lock! All in all look around and make this a very last resort and expect the least! They do more damage than repairs on your cars. read more

I cannot get it over 3000 miles without bringing it back to Danny, yes I have lots of patience. Danny son told me after the fifth rebuilt they got another person working on their engines resurfacing which end up being a lie Danny had me go Drive around the corner to find out how my engine is doing, the same place my engine was before, I end up spending a lot more other things were going wrong I just got my jeep back three weeks ago I had an oil leak I took it back and sure enough the clamp for the oil hose was not tighten when they put my engine back.

Reseda Engines Auto Repair - Simi Valley Jeep and Chrysler Mechanic notes - Auto Repair Near Me - Northridge, California

Very nice people but I didn't have the greatest experience i took my car in to replace the engine which I was told would take about 2 weeks well it ended up taking over 4 weeks because they didn't get the correct engine at first so it cost me 2 extra weeks of paying for a rental then when I finally got home I kept smelling oil and looked in the back seat and saw they left parts in my back seat and it wasn't on plastic so it just stained my car very unprofessional to not put plastic down but I think it shouldn't of been in the back seat in the first place read more

Ridiculous. Just ridiculous. They take advantage and keep your money...AND your car. 3 weeks later & they haven't done what they promised. All they say is, "we are busy..almost" ...but they are just lazy... Engine? What engine? Reporting to BBB now & getting my money back. I'm out. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. read more

Danny, the owner of Reseda Engines doesn't fix your car. He takes your money and gives you back your car in worse shape than it was when you brought it in. He has signs everywhere. He only takes CASH. read more

I have been knowing and dealing with RESEDA ENGINES since their original location on Eddy st. down the street. In business since business since 1987; you have got to be doing something right to be open this long;being a mainstay,and providing stellar service to local area residents.This is one of the 818 area busiest shops. Danny and Yaniv will provide you with good reliable service and affordable pricing. I especially like the quick turnaround time here on engine and transmission replacement. (They are really quick) Repeat and referrall busines is the norm here. They service all of my cars and i have referred many people to them. The crew here (mechanics) Alex,Erwin, Jesus and Angel are the best.. And of course Danny and YANIV also. Thank you RESEDA ENGINES!! You guys are the best shop in 818! PS: Everytime i visit i like to play the piano in the office lobby.. Anyone playing the piano here? It might be out of tune. Thank you Loyal customer and friend.. read more

I came for a oil change and filter cleaning. That were very nice and respectful. I waited for only an hour and the price was vary good.

My girlfriend came in for a high pressure hose replacement on her power steering on a 95 Camry. Not only did they charge her 200$ which is way over priced for the job they broke her door handle and didn't want to fix it. Then yells at her for her getting mad that they broke her car. Bad business. Would never recommend. read more

I bought a new car and needed it to be checked out because i had noticed a few things so i took it to Reseda Engines and they said that the skid plate was missing and it had a leaking valve cover. I took the car back to the dealership and put in a skid plate and fixed the leaky valve. If it were not for the people over at Reseda Engines i would have never known, great service! read more

Be careful with these guys take your car some other place trust me they don't know what they are doing.They used used parts form other engine that they had in there shop. Took it to them ask to put in a engine they did such a bed job its crazy. My car was in there back in forth for about six mouths.THEY SUPPOSEDLY REBUILD MY HEADS BEACUSE THEY GIVE ME A BAD ENGINE AFTER ABOUT 2500 THOUSAND MILES OVER HEATED STOP RUNNINNG. when I looked at the spark plug 2 different brands like are you jk used parts not even going to talk about motor mounts and and bolt missing they did the brakes and forgot to resurface the disks tried to brake hard one time almost crashed. took it back and he asked one the guys that work there if they did it and he said we change the pads again are you jking you see that need to be resurfaced and you don't do it wow. there is so much more took it to other place he showed me what they done to the car I was so mad going to take them to small claims. read more

Danny is a liar. Over the phone he'd give me a final price and when I show up to pay after my car was worked on, all of a sudden it's 100-200 more expensive. Blew my mind how disrespectful and childish Danny became in a split second. They replaced my antena and Effed everything else up at the same time. I'm Sitting here waiting for my car to be fixed from damage caused by them, Then I'm going to pay for it!!! Deceiving. Cheap parts. Liar. Go somewhere else. read more

This guy Danny is wrong! Didn't know what is need to change!! Don't lose your time, no no no unprofessional.....

Know what you want done before you go there, diagnosis is not something they're great with. I also recommend that you bring your own parts because the people they deal with for part are overpriced. read more

The owner is nice BUT, The shop is good for ONLY Engine Swaps and Transmission Swaps, which is an elementary job for most cars They don't torque down any of the bolts, and thats bad news. Not using a torque wrench when replacing cart parts is a NO NO. If you get the most basic service from his shop, which are brakes and rotors, be prepared for a brake pad swap and thats it...they are not going to check to see what else might be going on with the brakes. If you just want an Engine swap or Transmission swap, then just know thats pretty much what you are going to get...Prices are OK for a reason You get what you pay for. The guys working for him are Not Certified, so trouble shooting is not their game. They are not skilled to diagnose. Basically, if you know whats wrong with your car and you tell him to replace that specific part, he will do it for a fair price. read more

It seems that people either hate, or love Danny. I'm of the latter crowd. I've been going to Reseda Engines for over 20 years. There isn't a more reasonable, honest or nicer guy. Understand what their main business is: Remove and replace engines and transmissions. They will try to help in other areas, but they can do what they do best in record time. The replacements are usually low mileage (35k miles) used Japanese parts. Don't blame them if there is a problem with the replacement, just bring it back within the warranty, and they will make it right. read more

It's not everyday you find an honest auto shop willing to go far beyond expectation. Danny (owner) is the nicest and easiest person to deal with. I definitely recommend this place! If you want friendly, knowledgeable mechanics to deal with this is the spot. read more

My family and I have been coming to Danny for at least 10 years now. I have taken my car here several times when I had an old car. Danny, his son and staff has always kept me satisfied with the prices and more importantly, the work. He is honest and anytime I have questions, Danny and his staff always explain everything clearly. I have nothing but positive things to say about this place! Continue doing what you do! read more

I've been going to reseda engines since 1987,& the honesty and great work that the owner Danny does for each customer is great,& he's very attentive ,& just an all around nice person,& not to mention, the prices are probably the lowest around.I HIGHLY recommend Reseda Engines!! read more

Great guy REALLY nice however brought THREE cars to him to get fixed.... all three had different problems..... got all three cars back NOT working. WTH. I do not plan on going back. It sucks because he seems like a real cool guy.... I don't know if he is just a liar or if he just doesn't understand what he is doing? SOOOO frustrated read more

Danny and his team took good care of my '91 Honda Accord for oil changes and alternator. Recommended by a friend for being honest and reasonably priced. read more

Buyer Beware. Does not replace parts that he says he will replace. Danny is a sweet guy who will rip you off. Does not know how to diagnose car problems. It's a straight forward engine swap operation. Do not take in for brakes, suspension, timing belt or clutch work...They do not know the details on fine tuning... YOU WERE WARNED read more

To bad yelp doesnt have a zero STAR!! Used all cheap shity parts which after 6 months they all cracked and started making noises. The engine was replaced, 6 months later after waranty started leaking, there goes $2800. WTF??? Does anyone take anything friking serious??? read more

Danny's shop is great. He is efficient, affordable and above all honest. As for parts, he always offers one the option of what grade, (new, rebuilt etc.), that you wish to install. Never a bad experience, with any of my vehicles from GMC's to Cadillacs. read more

They are honest, reasonable in pricing, reliable. If they can't finish the job as promised, they will give u a rental car. The downside is there are a lot of customers, it takes too long to have your car repaired u have to leave your car with them. They are the best read more
