Fantastic customer service. I highly recommend them and will definitely take my car here confidently.

Brought my 2008 Corolla to change out a leaking oil pan. They were able to get the parts and start working on it sooner than I had expected. That was a plus because I was about to head out of town and wanted to get the car back before I left town and they came through. Always appreciate the prompt service at Sean's. read more

On December 29, 2025, one of my employees was on a plumbing job when our work truck (parked on the street) suddenly had a "pop," followed by steam and water flowing into the street. I instructed my employee not to start or drive it and to have it flat-bedded to Sean's Auto Care. Once the truck arrived, I spoke with the owner and explained this was a work vehicle and urgently needed to be back on the road. I was told they would do an accurate assessment, keep me updated, and treat me fairly. Repairs were completed on December 31, 2025, and I paid by credit card. My employee picked up the truck and started driving it to a job site--then the check engine light came on and the truck began running differently. It wasn't overheating, but something was clearly wrong. I told him to take it straight back to the shop. When he returned, he was told they would "assess" the problem again for an additional $250 fee. They plugged in a scanner and then said there were issues with a camshaft sensor and a misfire. At that point, I had my employee remove the vehicle and take it elsewhere. We brought the truck to another reputable mechanic (a shop with extensive strong reviews). That mechanic told us the work performed never should have been done without first identifying what appeared to be a major underlying issue--specifically, signs consistent with a failing head gasket, including oil leakage and water in the oil. We were told any legitimate diagnostic process should have caught this before installing items like a radiator and thermostat, and that the pricing for the work performed was excessive--to the point that we were told a Ford dealer likely would have been less expensive for the same repairs. The bottom line: if we had been properly advised about the engine condition up front, we likely would have not authorized the work at all and would have instead considered replacing the engine or replacing the truck. Instead, we spent significant money (in assess of more than $4,000) and immediately ended up with a vehicle that still had major issues--then were asked to pay more just to diagnose what should have been caught in the first place. Based on this experience, I can't recommend Sean's Auto Care read more

Sean and crew were amazing! My Promaster Van had some mysterious electrical issues and Sean stuck with it and finally figured it out after five other mechanics weren't able to fix it. Would highly recommend Sean's Auto Care!! read more

I took my car to Sean's Auto Care to have a Power Steering Leak from the Rack and Pinion on my car. I decided to make an appointment online which I did. Once I arrived at the shop and checking in, I was told that I have to pay $225 fee to have this issue looked. From my perspective there was no mention of this fee online when I made my appointment. once I left my car for the diagnosis it di not even take half an hour, after I got a call from Sean's giving me the price to fix my car. The repair cost quote was expensive, and I declined and was charged the $225 fee. when I brought it up via text their response was do think it was free to look at it. It is what it is. Next time I will do my homework on these mechanic shops I find online. read more

No one likes car repairs. Especially high repairs like my mom's car. One tough aspect in dealing with high auto repairs is finding that mechanic. One you can trust and faith in. We're convinced we found one in Sean. Sean was upfront, clear, honest, and transparent. Words you don't often put together in mechanics. But Sean is that. Online reports that are updated regularly. Before and after photos and videos. All you need is the link he gives you. Guarantees his work. Layouts options. Doesn't pressure you into decisions. And cares about your concerns. His shop offers all sorts of options for financing and forms of payments. His shop is also clean and in order. Comfortable office waiting area. He does offers loaner cars should your repairs take longer than expected. He follows up constantly after your repair is completed. Ok price? I won't comment on that because everyone's situation is different. Every repair is different. But if you're looking for peace of mind, quality work, and full transparency, then it's hard to put a price on that. I'll admit, this was a tough five star review to write but one worth writing and one well deserved. I hope others find this review useful. And if they're ever in a major car repair situation or even something small like an oil change, I hope they find their way to Sean. Hats off Sean. And shoutout to my sister Mia for the recommendation. Bookmarked! read more

Had a pre purchase inspection done on a 2008 Lexus LS 600H L, seller told me the car drove great, Spoke with Sean personally after the inspection and he completely saved me from buying a car that wouldn't have even made it home, turns out the car was completely falling apart, Would highly recommend this shop. read more

Very professional and knowledgeable!. They keep a clean environment. They always make the visit as quick as possible. The waiting room is comfy and offers free coffee. read more

Do you like waiting a week for a diagnostics test?? This is your spot. Do you want to call incessantly at any time of day for updates just to get a response text saying Sean's not feeling well, or Sean is having a family matter? This is your place! Apparently the entire crew of employees is not inept enough to answer the phone or perform any labor while Sean has crisis after crisis. I would not advice going here unless you like to be ripped off by coddled babies who think they can run a business on whether they have a cough today or not. Don't waste your money Sorry update, it must be a money laundering operation, the three times I stopped by today not a single person was working, just two "mechanics" walking around, not capable of answering the phone. Sean must have quite the tummy ache and couldn't even pretend to run a business. read more

My overall experience at Sean's Auto Care was a remarkable one. Very professional, knowledgeable and honest. He is a Mechanic you can trust and confident in knowing that your vehicle is in the best of hands. I definitely would refer him to anyone looking for a Honest, Trustworthy and Reliable Mechanic. Keep up the good works Sean. read more

Well..........I took my car to Sean's auto car because my heater wouldn't get warm. He offered me a loaner vehicle, which I declined. Huge mistake on my part, I should have taken it because it took 3 weeks to get my car back. Once the repairs were complete ($4600), I was told they broke my dipstick tube. Ian told me they fixed the damage and consider it as a free oil change. Not exactly free when I had to pay for the oil and filter, which was replaced a week prior. I also got a call that my rear passenger window dropped (was not an issue when I took it to the shop) and would no longer go up or down. Ian told me they would fix it for another $500. To make matters worse, my DPF light illuminated on my dash. When I got home, I noticed greasy fingerprints on interior of the car, and they also tore a hole on the drivers seat and did a poor job repairing it. Needless to say, I took my car to the dealer to fix the window, and dfp issue that arose while my car was at Sean's. The dealer repaired my car properly. I would never take my car or recommend this mechanic. The cost of repairs is comparable to VW dealerships. The diagnosis, punctuality, and repair was far superior at the dealership, thus my car will be going there from this point forward. Update.....I now have a coolant leak as a result of the job performed by Sean's. I took my car to the dealership to get it properly repaired. I'm aware the repair is covered by some sort of "warranty" provided by Sean's, but I still felt that taking it the dealership,and having it properly repaired will give me peace of mind. read more

Been taking both my cars to Sean's. You can tell that they really want your car to run as best as possible all the time. They are super honest and have gone out of their way to make the experience great. They use quality parts, at a very reasonable price. Thank you! read more

Always amazing work from here I've taken about 3 different cars to be diagnosed and fixed Sean makes sure I'm taken care of and also has great pricing compared to other auto shops. Sean always gives me a detailed explanations on issues with my vehicle and has helped me save up to 10k worth of damages for identifying the problem before it becomes an issue that needs to be addressed. I fully recommend you to bring your vehicles here ! read more

On the whole, Sean was patronizing and dismissive. The reason I'm writing the review is because he doesn't know what a nitrogen pressure test is for an AC and gaslit me about it being a thing. I'm not a mechanic but look it up, it's standard. I wouldn't take my car AC to this guy. I'm sure overall he's fine for other stuff though. Just one bad interaction. read more

IF ONLY I COULD I'D GIVE IT Negative Stars. I wouldn't recommend this auto shop to ANY PERSON NEEDING ANYTHING FIXED. Bring a power wheels car, they will tell you it will cost $1k to fix the wheels and change the battery...LABOR COST WOULD BE $900. Real Talk. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GUY: [1] Friday at noon-ish[labord day weekend] INITAL QUOTE FOR INSTALLATION IN A VEHICLE, WAS PROVIDED AT APPROX $600-700 and was told the vehicle would be compleyed on SAME DAY [2] Friday, later afternoon, close to shop closing time. Phone-call received and was told they needed to keep the vehicle because additional items needed to be fixed. [ha- of course] [3] Another phone-call received. Surprise surprise, another item or additional items needed to be fixed. [4] The day after labor day day weekend, vehicle is supposed to be ready. Nope. Of course. [5] Wednesday- picked-up the vehicle...guess how much they charged for LABOR: more than 1k...then additional items that 'needed to be fixed' approx 600 bucks. Ha--with a military discount of $150? Lol what a joke. [6] Thursday- Surprise-- the shift gear happened to be faulty. Took it to the same place. What did they say? Oh its due to wear and tear, needs to be fixed. WHAT A JOKE. NEVER HAD AN ISSUE with shift gear until coming to this place. [7] WARNING TO EVERYONE- MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ACTUAL PRICE QUOTE OF SERVICE YOU WANT DONE AND BE SPECIFIC THAT YOU DONT WANT ANYTHING ADDITIONAL DONE. BETTER YET-- DONT GO TO THIS AUTO SHOP. THEY WILL ADD MORE SERVICES TO BE DONE TO YOUR VEHICLE...OVER THE PHONE. !!!!AKE YOUR VEHICLE SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! ***IVE LIVED IN THE VALLEY SINCE 1992 AND I WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS...TO NOT GO TO THIS SPOT*** read more

My car stopped working early March 2020. It had engine head gasket and more issues internally. I almost lost hope it'd work again but Sean generously offered to fix it in June. Thank you @seansautocare team for going above and beyond blessing me and for being an answer to my prayers. Helped with paint job and chrome H. Incredible timely and communicative service. Amazing team serving with honesty, integrity, and joy. read more

So let me start off by saying if you value your money and time then don't take your car nowhere near this damn place. I took my car here for the first couple of times and thought they were helping me. Turns out they weren't. I had to get an engine coolant sensor replaced and a leak detection pump fixed and he charged me 2000$ to fix. Most of it was just on labor alone. For my starter replacement he charged me 1000$, then for a break vacuum pump replacement he quoted me 2600 through text and said the labor would be 2100. That's when I knew this shop was just plain shady and thieves. They try to act like they're there to help you and look out for you but they're not. On top of that they used my car to call around and get quotes for the repairs because they're "competitive". Never heard of a shop doing that before. Once I told him I'd take my car elsewhere he insisted on keeping me as a customer and he'd lower that repair cost to 1400 total. He went from 2600 to 1400 once he found out I wasn't trying to pay that much money. I even called the Volkswagen dealer yall and got a quote from them!! I told Sean what the quote was and he called me a liar and said there is no way and that Volkswagen was lying to me when I was just on the phone with them. If you take your car here don't just agree to whatever price they say, call around and get different quotes. Because these ppl WILL lie and scam you. I've never written a review before but this place deserves this one for-sure. If you're a Christ believer don't fall for it, they claim they believe in god, but try to charge 2100 in labor for a job that doesn't even cost that much.They don't have any certificated technicians there and Sean just mentioned he is barely returning back to the shop after 4 years, so I'm not even sure if he knows what he's fully doing. With all this being said please avoid this shop at all cost and save your money!!! read more

Sean provided the worse service I ever had. He gave me a quote to replace the ABS brakes then could not get the part so it cost me an extra $600. Then the brake part failed while I was driving and I had no brakes. He replaced the part again but then told me I needed a new master cylinder and one other part for over $1000. I had another mechanic work on it and it was not those two parts that he told me to get that had to be replaced. It was the other half of the ABS system that should've been replaced to begin with.Seans auto care failed. read more

I don't usually write reviews but when I do I mean well. I was very disappointed with this auto shop because the owner seemed to be very honest person. This is not a very honest auto shop, I took my car there several times last year or a year before(spending about 2k a few times I took my car there) and the car ended up stopping in the mountains when I was driving to Palmdale. I Went back again and he quoted me almost the value price of the car to fix the Problem. I ended up selling the car to him for $1500 and my brother saw him driving the car. Now looking back, I think they contributed to my car breaking down because my brother took his car there as well. He needed few parts replaced and Sean promised him that he was going to get brand new parts for his car. After he drove the car for a few days, the car broke down and he decided to have another mechanic check it out. Upon checking the car out , the other mechanic informed him that the parts (this auto shop) used were USED parts NOT brand new parts. I felt really bad because I recommended this auto shop to him and even my auntie took her car there. And on top of that, he spent over 1000 dollars. Now his car gives him issues here and there .Why not just be honest? You charge someone for new parts but you use USED parts? Very deceitful. It breaks my heart because I have a hard-time trusting mechanics... the majority of them lie. Be aware! read more

The service is great. Everyone at Sean's is kind. They do a great job on keeping you updated with your car and what's recommended going on. I can't complain. I appreciate you guys! I would recommend you come here for your vehicle service. read more

Best work done on my truck by Sean and the crew. Had the best overall experience with them from day 1. If you want quality work get it done here. Can't thank y'all enough would recommend this shop to anyone. read more

Sean's Auto Care - Ford Excursion V10 - Auto Repair Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Customer # 1219 Jan. 05, 2024 : I DROVE my car to Sean's Auto Care. They told me it was misfire. They initially quoted me $ 450. However, they kept adding costs. Jan 12. 2024 : Their customer representative called me that the serpentine belt and idler pulley should be replaced. After I talked to him, I asked my husband about them. My husband told me that they were taken care and did not need to be replaced. ( Later, when my car was towed, my husband asked the owner about them, he told my husband that the serpentine belt and pulley were fine.) MISDIAGNOSIS and tried to overcharge. They did many things. However, I don't think they were related to the main issues because I had to tow my car within 2 weeks after I picked up the car from them on Jan. 25, 2024. I paid $ 4540.05 on Jan. 12, 2024 and another $ 600 on Jan. 25, 2024. The total was $ 5140.05. Feb. 11, 2024 : My car stopped and would not start in the middle of nowhere ( 80 miles away from my home). Feb. 12, 2024 : The car was TOWED to Sean's Auto Care again. Their customer representative told my husband " I told you. You should have replaced the serpentine belt and the pulley. Because of it, your car stopped " He didn't even open my hood. Feb. 13, 2024 : They told me they diagnosed but could not find anything wrong. Then, they wanted me to give them the authority to test gas. They blamed a bad gas that I filled up on Feb. 11, 2024. However, it was not gas problem. They MISDIAGNOSED again. They changed the ignition coils that they installed on my car again but nothing happened. Another misdiagnosis again. Even though they could not find anything while diagnosing, they wanted to charge me for diagnosis and test ( gas + what-so-called premium ignition coils). I complained about them. They dropped the charge. After I complained about their work and charges, they stopped communicating with me after Feb. 16, 2024. Feb. 23, 2024 I visited them to see what was going on. The owner told me that they had been busy and my car was not their top priority. I asked him "Can you fix it? Otherwise I want a refund". He said "Yes, I can fix it". I gave him another chance because he himself promised me that he would have his mechanic work on my car the next week ( Monday . Feb. 26, 2024). Nothing happened. No text, No phone call for update. March 01,2024 : I wrote the Google review, hoping that they take this issue seriously. March 04, 2024 : Their customer representative called me. I was told that they will not repair my car or refund because of my Google review. They also want me to pick up my car from their shop. I texted them " I am not picking up my car until you fix or refund. They insisted there were two separate issues in my car. So they will not refund. They insisted that they charged me right. They said they can not work without charge because the latter issue is totally different from the former one. However, they could not tell me what they were when I asked what was the second issue. ( I assume that they are not able to figure out or don't want to work without additional charge) Even if there were two seperate issues on my car, they should have figured them out in the first place when I drove my car on Jan. 05, 2024. They should have given me the total quote and asked me to make a decision in the very first place because nobody wants to spend over $5000 on the 16 year old car: They would purchase the new one if they received the over $ 5000 estimate before repair. Feb 11, 2024 My car was towed from Sean's auto care to Honda Van Nuys for diagnosis and repair. The result is what I didn't expect at all. Sean's Auto Care installed the aftermarket ignition coils and spike plugs and charged the 4 times more than OEM. ( The most ridiculous thing is that Sean accused my husband that my husband installed the aftermarket parts in my car and those caused the problems.) Shame on you, Sean! I reported this terrible incident to BAR, however, they cannot do anything for overcharge. San Fernando residents, 1. ask them for the written estimate before starting to say "yes". They will keep calling you , asking for your verbal authorization and adding more charge. 2. ask them to return your old parts to you. Those are your rights. (see BAR website) Don't contact and ask me to take my review off as you did before. I would not because I wrote the facts. If you have something to say, please respond here with the receipts of the parts that you installed in my car. I thank you for letting me know there are full of dishonest people in this world. read more

Work that is honest, accurate, and dependable. You have no need to worry because the repair will be done right. The support staff is well mannered and attentive. Great communication from his team kept me in the loop as the car was being repaired. read more

These guys saved my ass. I had an emergency drum brake issue on my RV. I started the job at home and ran into a problem. Since it's the brakes, you don't want to mess around. I called the first mobile repair shop I saw, Caseys. I read the reviews, called him and got him on the phone. We talked it out, set an appointment for the next day between 12-1pm. Perfect! We were scheduled to leave on a very long road trip and needed this done ASAP. Well, his guy never showed up. Yup, totally bailed on me. A total waste of my day (took the day off work to be there). Now, I had only one day to find someone else, schedule it, do the job and hopefully, it worked out. I was stressed, to say the least. I got Sean on the line, told him my dilemma and he scheduled Joe to come out the next morning at 8:30 am. I had to work so I couldn't be there, but my girlfriend was there. I was concerned that they would try to scam her (too many bad stories about that). But at 8:30 Joe showed up and went right to work. Was completely professional, explained things to her, walked her through it and did the job right. I got home just as he was finishing up. Done. The right way. I can't express my gratitude for Joe, Sean, and this shop. They have a client for as long as they are in business. Thank you Joe. True professionalism read more

I was in a desperate need of a mobile service as my car alarm broke and the car wouldn't start. And I didn't have money for towing it. I found this shop online and when I called, Sean took 20 min to explain how he can help and what my options are. After he set an appointment to send a mechanic to my home, he texted me everything we talked about to confirm I understand it correctly, i.e their rates, total price, etc... 10 min before my appointment, Sean texted me that the mechanic is on his way. The mechanic worked fast and did a great job. Highly recommend this shop. read more

Best thing about Sean is that you will have piece of mind that he is not trying to get one over you when it comes to your auto repair. He will tell it like it is, and charge you for what his talents in fixing cars are worth. Will give you options and all of that. 7 Years up and running as a business and still expanding his client base. Other than that, all the other stuff that comes with car mechanics is checked.

Sean's pre-purchase inspection was great. Easy to make an appointment. Thorough inspection with print out and estimated cost to replace or repair. Nice guy as well. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a used car and wants to know the true condition of the car. Life saver! read more

I really appreciate how fast Brenna and Sean answered messages in regards to my questions on my auto repairs I was having done. They did an inspection of my whole vehicle and gave me recommendations on things that are urgent and things that could wait. It's hard to go to a new mechanic shop and be able to trust them from the start. But they both are great! I will definitely be back for more of my auto needs. I even asked for an estimate shortly after getting home for some of the other recommendations they suggested and I had a response within about 30 minutes or so. Again I would recommend to friends and family. read more

I left a five star review here before - Sean's is great if you have no major problems. I recently had some engine work done and three bolts holding the c.v. shaft together on the right side (two outer and one inner) were left off the car! I could have died or killed someone. Thank goodness I didn't take the advice to "drive" the car on the freeway. Luckily, I took the car to a dealership for an independent review and they spotted the danger and bought/replaced the three bolts. Leave the big stuff to the big boys. read more

I've lived in LA for 6years and finally found a great mechanic that goes above and beyond for his client & is trustworthy! It's not often you find someone like that. As much as I'd love to keep this hidden gem to myself, it's only right other people know about this shop too. Sean and Joe are amazing, honest and dedicated to doing a good job and guaranteeing their work! I've had a lot work done to my car and I'll continue to use them as things arise. Even the simple oil change I won't go anywhere else. So if youre looking for a great, trustworthy mechanic you found it! The drive to them is worth it if you're not close too. read more
