Got a smog check here and it was fast, a great price- $50 and nice getting to know Vick. They are a star station so will def keep them in mind if I ever need another smog check. Quick & easy read more

The usual smog check place I've gone to closed down so I found this place through yelp. The guy working there was able to take my car in and do the smog check which passed. The fee they charge includes certificate. I will be recommending this place to my friends. Thank you Yelpers for the recommendation! read more

Sherman Oaks Auto Center - The best in the Valley! - Auto Repair Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I called to inquire about scheduling a tuneup for my vehicle. The gentleman answered the phone. I asked if he had availability for the current day he said "no" and hung up the phone. He didn't ask me any questions. He didn't ask me if I wanted to bring it on another day or offer availability he just basically said no and hung up the phone. read more

Very good and honest mechanic. He went above and beyond to fix my car at a reasonable cost. Even took the time to show me the issues and how he would fix them. My new go to place from now on. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Vick is super cool and will be honest with you. Very reasonably priced and will address your issues within a decent time

After reading all the positive reviews I thought I'd give them a try with something simple--replacing my headlight. I called and they said just to bring it in, no appointment necessary. So I brought it in around noon and they jumped right on it. Knew the right way to get to the headlight, had the highest quality part, replaced the bulb--all in about 15 minutes! Their fee was remarkably reasonable and they got me out and on my way so quickly, efficiently, and accurately that I will be back when I need more work! read more

Told me on the phone they could do something and then towed my car here and told me to take it to dealer. Honest anyway... read more

The mechanic working here did not charge me for a diagnostic when the shop across the street wanted a minimum $150 fee just to take a look. I trust their quotes and they fixed my car super quickly! read more

Got our car smog check done here. The owner is very shy but kind. I ended up waiting because it was done so quickly. He's smog certified so it was super easy to log into the dmv website afterwards and finish that paperwork and fee. Highly recommend this place. The only downside is the guy who runs the convenience store attached. He is maskless and CONSTANTLY smoking and hocking loogies outside. It's gross. The auto center man doesn't wear a mask either but he works outdoors so I get it. Not great to do that, but I get it. read more

Been taking my car here the past two years for routine maintenance and the mechanic always takes care of me. Great place and super reliable :) read more

Gonna give you 4 stars because you were open late at night when we really needed a restroom and didn't hassle us. Great location right off the freeway. read more

Was back recently and service just as great! Helped me out last minute with a new battery so I could get rolling. Always like coming here.

Apparently I was taken advantage by the classic unethical used car sales person. The car John sold me had over $3000 worth of repairs. I guess that's why he was pressuring me with "other people that were ready to pay cash already." He promised a new headlight after purchase- didn't happen. His fake smile also disappeared after I purchased the car. Very interesting how he made me feel like I wasn't even in the room. Beware of unethical snake oil salesmen and cheap businesses like this one. This is the reason why I only buy and service my cars at reputable and official brand dealers ever since. read more

Great shop, friendly people, quick service, price was unbeatable. I checked out a few other shops and left because the other shops were deceptive about their prices. These guys were honest and straightforward. Go here you get your smog test done!!! read more

I really appreciate from Vic, Sherman Oakd Auto Center. They did a great job. Clean, honest and professional. Check out their web site Shermanoaksauto.com read more

This is my 2nd time coming here to get my smog check. Both times the service was fast and the cost for the certificate was $38. The test took about 5-10 minutes total and that includes the transmission to the DMV indicating that my vehicle had passed the test. I didn't have to make any appointments, just drove my car up and they worked on it right away. read more

The only auto shop I go to, for many years now. If you want an honest mechanic, great service for the best price without sacrificing quality, Vic and his guys are the best. He's saved me so much money and I can always rely on him. He will go above and beyond. Highly recommend them. read more

Go to place to get my car serviced. Good work ethic, clean, polite and most importantly, reasonable. read more

Vick-is the guy I dealt with at this station. I would trust him with my girlfriend and ATM card. My experience began by being towed to this station as it is the closest AAA blessed repair station near my house. I was VERY skeptical. I have a favorite mechanic but...he just happens to be 25 miles away. "Sorry previous mechanic but I'm breaking up with you- no don't cry - it's a distance thing." I had a fuel pump issue and it was diagnosed for free. Then I was given options and they were all honest and reasonable. He kept the car an extra day to make sure it started the next morning.....who does that? Vick. That's who. I have found my new neighborhood mechanic. read more

Gas Station and Service are separate, and boy are they ever! The service is a clown show, not willing to help you out in any way! No discussion, no talk, got out of here, was the attitude I was given. I would not bring my car to a service station where the mechanics are not interested in helping someone out. read more

My definite go-to for any auto need. I moved to the Valley (and LA in general) less than a year ago, and after such a drive (from Austin) - of course there were car needs to brush up. I've been here for oil changes, brake replacements - even windshield wiper updates during rainy-night fiascos! And they always take care of me right away - or let me know when to call them to do so. Today was such a day - an oil change - to remind me to write this review! Vick had other cars in front - so instead of waiting, he told me to call him an hour from to check in. I got some record-shopping done at Freakbeat, called him, and he told me to come on by to fit me in between his other clients. I zoomed by (as quickly as traffic and construction could allow me) and he got me in right away. He's really great at explaining what my car needs, without making me feel silly for not knowing much about cars. He also told me my options, and when I considered synthetic oil - which would be more expensive - he told me to not go that route, since it wasn't what would benefit my car. And I very-much appreciate that he delivers the truth over profit. He's always busy, which proves his popularity, yet always efficient and reliable - in that he doesn't waste one's time, whilst always being there for them, and is honest and prompt on top of it all! - to warrant my return service. He explained how I needed coolant and transmission-fun for my next visit - without trying to hustle it for today's trip, and while explaining it in a way I could understand. So yes - I will be back to Vick for those exact things. And, oh yes - the brakes work great, as LA traffic is certain to ascertain soon-after. Very grateful for Vick's work. Stay safe, Y'all, and get fixed up here! read more

If you read my review about Just Tires, then you know the story. After getting the run around from them, I called these guys who gave me a quick quote over the phone. Brought my car in for an oil change, and was out in 25 minutes. Price was 1/2 of what Just Tires and Jiffy Lube wanted to charge. I really like these guys. They're a small shop, not some big box store, so they take care of their customers. They know customer service means more business and referrals. You would think the bigger shops would get this, but they focus on customer acquisition and not retention (yes, I rock at business marketing). read more

When it comes to mechanics, I'm usually a complainer. But this mechanic, John and his team, are amazing! John is friendly, honest, and efficient - all things you want when dealing with your vehicle. I took in my Toyota Celica because the brakes had been squeaking for a little while. John came highly recommended from my dear friends, and since my former mechanic packed up and moved to Hawaii I went to John. I told him the problem, he took it around the block, then brought it in, jacked it up and took the tires off to examine the brakes. He actually let me walk over and look and here's where I know he's honest. He showed me that for safety purposes my back brakes needed immediate repair, but that my front brakes still had some life in them, if only a one or two. This was perfect for me because I couldn't afford to get all four brakes done at the same time. He quoted me a reasonable price and said it would take a few hours. In an hour and a half he had my car done and his son came to give me a lift back to the shop. Also, while I was waiting for John to give me a price quote, one of his team members noticed that my license plate was dented. I had been backed into by an SUV a few years back. Without hesitating, he unscrewed the plate, hammered it out, and then put it back. No charge. HOW SWEET! How often do you hear a mechanic being referred to as "sweet"? I have had no problem with the work and look forward to going back to get my front brakes done. I know I can trust John and that means a lot to me since I spend so much time driving. Take your car here!! read more

This guys are awesome, help me with the perfect tires pressure plus oil changed and just make sure my car was good all around , it feels great to trust this shop Rick and Zareh big plus A++ read more

Very clean shop, they are honest, quick and very professional. They didn't have the part that my truck needed, so they ordered from their parts shop and 20 mins later it arrived and they installed. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Thank you Vahik for fitting me in immediately. I called and said that I was in the area and wanted to get a smog test. He said come by now, I did and was out within 15 minutes! Highly recommend, trustworthy and professional! read more

They are the best! The guys are super nice here and the skillsets along with the customer service is awesome!!

It was that time again and since I recently moved to the area, I hit up yelp to find a smog station. These guys are great! I rolled in without an appointment and they helped me right away! Their prices ($38 total for smog certification and filing) were reasonable and true to what previous yelpers said. I know my car needs servicing for a couple of things coming up, and I plan to go back and have them check it out. read more

Great deal on a smog test from check in on Yelp. Owner was really nice and the service was quick and easy! I would go back again. Thank you!

Fast service and great price for a smog check. I was out of there in under 10 minutes!

Vahik and his team are great. I took me and my bf's car here initially for an oil change last year and I got great service at a decent price. Both cars were done in about an hour. When my A/C stopped working on my car this month, the 1st place I thought of was to bring it to Vahik since he gives complimentary diagnoses. I decided to proceed with him fixing the expensive problem b/c I just can't go without A/C in this hot LA weather. He did a great job with the part replacement and repair and I was on my way. BUT, weeks later, the A/C started blowing hot air again, so I went back to Vahik to look into the problem because I thought it was fixed. He hooked up my car to the diagnosis machine and assessed the engine with his colleague and found another problem with some loose wiring/circuit . He told me to leave my car for a few hours and repaired it free of charge. Now that's what I'm talking about! :-) Sucks that I had to take the car back since the problem wasn't fixed the first time, but I really loved the customer service i received and the time they spent on my vehicle without asking for more money. Hopefully I don't have to go back anytime soon, but if I do, at least I know I can trust Vahik. He's a very honest man. *On a side note. if you plan to use the Yelp Deal, please let them know before they complete the invoicing. read more

10 minutes! Now that is service- very friendly and efficient. I called in at 10 am on a Monday, drove right in and 10 minutes later the test was completed and I was back on the road. read more

These guys are the BEST. I first came to them because of the good reviews on Yelp. They provided great service and it was done about when they said it would be done. No BS. I have since been back a couple of times and every time I leave there I am grateful that I found them. My car has a few years and miles on it so it requires semi regular attention. More than once they have given me options that were less expensive and considerate of my limited budget when they could very easily have stuck it to me. I am completely sold on this shop and I trust them completely. I don't know about you, but that is worth a hellava lot to me when it comes to mechanics. read more

Brought my car in for required Star smog check. Service was quick, and he even identified another problem with my air compressor, said he could fix it but actually discouraged me from bothering until it fully died to save me money. I appreciated the integrity when he could easily have pressured me to pay to fix it right then. read more

Five stars for personal service that goes WAY beyond what's expected!! When I take my car to John, I get honest answers and service I can feel! I let John take care of my car when the previous place lost my trust. He has made me feel so comfortable over the last 4 years (read: saved me so much money) that I at least owe him this review - and I'm happy to pay him back!! Thanks for a wonderful experience!! I will definitely continue to get my car fixed here, even though I live across town :) Great job!!!! read more

Took my car in for an oil change & a tire checkup, and left very satisfied! Only took about 40 minutes, and there's a close enough Starbucks to wait at. read more

I got a complete smog check at this location for $38. I called around and it was the best deal around. They were able to start on my car right away and they completed the job pretty quickly. I am very happy with their service and the mechanics are very nice and helpful. I would definitely come back to this business for service or smog check for my car. read more

John is the best mechanic I've ever done business with. Period. He's worked on my car and my girlfriend's car numerous times and has always been honest, fair with pricing, and thorough. Moreover, his customer service is world-class. I can't recommend him enough. When we move out of the valley I will continue to bring my cars to him - the drive will be worth it!! read more
