If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and reliable mechanic, I highly recommend Vic! He has worked on my husbands and my car and every experience has been excellent. He's incredibly skilled, takes the time to diagnose the problem correctly, and always gets the job done right. What I appreciate most is his honesty and fair pricing. It's hard to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but Vic has consistently been transparent, reasonable, and never tries to upsell unnecessary repairs. His prices are more than fair, especially considering the quality of his work. It's such a relief knowing I have a mechanic I can count on. If you need someone dependable who genuinely cares about his customers, Vic is the person to call. I recommend him without hesitation! read more

I came without an appointment on a Sunday knowing that most auto shops are super busy. My skid plate had gotten loose and fell out of place and I needed it to be recast red. The owner was super helpful. He was in between two cars and said he'd take me in for the very quick and simple job. Definitely will come back. And hopefully with a more formal appointment and less emergency situation. Thank you! read more

Honest, affordable & trustworthy. I took my car in to replace two hoses that I bought from the dealership. Venil took a look at my car & realized that I didn't need to replace the hoses & advised that I replace the transmission housing instead. He fixed my car in under an hour and gave me a great deal. He even showed me the parts he was replacing & educated me on my car. As a young female, it's hard to find a mechanic that is honest & fair. HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming here for all your car needs. Thanks again Venil!! read more

Brought my Ford F-250 to Venil's Auto Repair to hopefully diagnose why the truck would not start. Venil told me that the engine had seized & would need to be replaced, which cost around $10k. I decided to have it towed home instead. My mechanically inclined brother took a look at it today and found that the A/C compressor had gone out, a $200 repair. Venil seemed very respectful but may not be the best option for your auto repair needs. read more

My GO-TO and favorite Mechanic! If you are unfamiliar with cars, it might be difficult to find a reputable mechanic. Venil explains every each detail and makes sure you comprehend what he is doing. In order to avoid future severe damage, I now know how to properly care for my car. If you have a busy schedule like I do, you will appreciate how promptly he responded. Vic is amazing and also feels trustworthy and safe. Absolutely RECOMMEND read more

My car window fell of the track and was stuck in the door. I didn't want to have my window wide open overnight so I wanted to find an auto repair that could get it fixed quickly. Vic at Venil's was great! I called and told him my issue. He had me come in right away. I dropped my car off at noon and it was finished by 1:30. He was very friendly and helpful. Excellent service, thanks Vic! read more

My favorite mechanic in the valley. Very friendly and trustworthy person. Vic is very honest and will tell you the real about your car and will not try and upsell you useless services. I've been coming to this shop for over 5yrs and never had a problem or complaint about Vic's work. He is fast and reliable the only thing is he only accepts cash so be sure to bring it when you pick up your car. His prices are very reasonable considering the over priced shops in the valley, this shop is home. And make sure if you go tell Vic Donavan sent you!!! He will hook you up!!! read more

Great service by Mr. Vic! Had a broken headlight and not only did be provide fast service at a great price, he also helped me save money on the new headlight system. 10/10 experience, will be back here for any car issues! read more

My boyfriend and I have been going to Vic for a few years now, and we are always very happy with the services that we received. Vic is a honest and reliable mechanic, and he gets the job done in a timely manner. I have gone to many mechanics before, but nobody could get the job done as quickly (but still of quality) as Vic does. I used to be very reluctant to take my car to the mechanics for services because of the waiting. With Vic, it is no longer an issue! And prices are fair, too! I don't usually write good reviews for anyone, but Vic definitely earned my trust and my business, and thus my five stars. Vic knows what he's doing and he always makes sure to keep us updated on the situation. I really appreciate his transparency and integrity. read more

Vic deserves more than 5 stars. His service is absolutely the best I have ever received at a mechanic shop. I'm definitely coming back here. Thank you Vic read more

I normally don't write reviews but people need to know how amazing this place is! This is by far the best mechanic in the valley and the only mechanic I truly trust because the prices are unbeatable, he's caring and very knowledgeable on reparing vehicles! If you need a trusting mechanic, this is where you need to be. read more

I wish I could give him more than 5 stars. Vic is an amazing guy who runs a great business. I came in for a diagnosis because a light came on briefly. He gave me a quick run down and didn't charge me for the diagnosis because there was NO issue. Most places around here will charge you $90+ JUST for an inspection. Vic is so sweet, humble, respectful, and will give it to you straight. Many mechanics would take advance of customers who don't know much about cars but Vic was very honest about everything. I highly highly recommend. He's def. worth your time. He's amazing. Thank you for your help again, Vic. read more

Vic is single handedly the most honest and knowledgeable mechanic. He'll fix anything from transmission issues to suspension issues for the best price!! Im so lucky I found him! read more

I found Vic on Yelp and decided to give him a call, since there were issues with my car. Last time I got an oil change from Valvoline, they said I have to replace my oil pan gasket, due to a leakage. I called Vic, who is super friendly and helpful, gave me a quote on the phone. I took my car to his shop on Saturday morning (very convenient as well) he explained AND SHOWED me what was actually going on with my car. Oil pan gasket was fine, there was just minor leakages in two areas. About half an hour later, my car was good to go! My experience was super easy going thanks to Vic. He has very reasonable prices. Looking forward to having my oil changes (and other car probs) done by Vic :) Definitely recommend! read more

Vic is the best! Hard to find and honest auto mechanic that wont rip a woman off! After he finished my car he offered to pick me up from home as a courtesy, WHO DOES THAT!!!! Such a nice guy thanks Vic. I surely will be back for other work that needs to be done to my car. read more

Great prices, I always bring my vehicles here whenever I need anything. Vic is a very honest mechanic. Great service & professional.

I've been taking my cars for years to Venil's Auto Body! Vic is the owner and he is very fair and competitive with his pricing. The best thing is he shows you the parts he has taken out and explains to you what the issue was. He is very honest and that is why I continue to bring my vehicles to him. Last week he did the oil change on my 2014 Toyota Camry and today he replaced the tensioner for my 1994 Chevy Truck. A++ Mechanic read more

I went into Vic's shop with nothing but my recently-bought Nissan XTerra, a few vague complaints about the engine and radiator, and a worry that I'd just bought a lemon. My case was the perfect kind of setup for a dishonest mechanic to spin a story about a blown head gasket and swindle me for thousands of dollars, but Vic did an in-depth inspection of my car that felt less like a visit to the mechanic and more like "Car Maintenance 101." He inspected the car's internals from hood to front, pointing out various issues and generally fixing them on his own (some previous fender damage repaired with a little hammering, screws on the engine that were a little loose tightened down) and explaining what he was looking for and the minor repairs he was making. He offered me a list of various problems, (two burned-out bulbs, old spark plugs, a worn battery terminal) and delivered everything he promised for exactly the agreed-on price, along with advice on which tires I needed to replace and which ones were worth saving. It's too bad I live in Pasadena, because I'd get everyone I know to visit Vic when they need their cars looked at. Tl;dr best visit to the mechanic I've ever had, bar none. read more

Reliable, friendly, honest and great work. It's located in the strip of mechanic shops off reseda in one of the smaller middle garages. 1st time I took my car here he quickly let me know the issue and didn't try to up-sell. Broken shock was estimated double the price at other shops. He even offered to give us a lift home so we wouldn't have to wait around and closed his shop just to do so!! 2nd time I needed new back brakes, called him up and he ordered the parts right away and within an hour job was done. Referred him to my dad who had an undiagnosed noise, what Honda stated they "thought" it was ran hundreds of $$. Brought it here and after an inspection he found the problem (completely different) and fixed it, no more noise!This guy knows what he's doing. Became my new go to shop for all car needs read more

The customer service here is amazing. Vic promised me he would fix my engine problems in no time & he did! I have a very busy schedule so it's difficult for me to make time to go & I need my car at all times so I was very glad to have found this place. Vic fixed the problem in no time and returned my car as soon as it was finished. I've been to shops where they keep my car for weeks even though they have finished the job, but they call to let me know days after or even hours after. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know. Thank you so much for the quick repair and for taking my busy schedule into consideration. read more

Vic is a GREAT and helpful guy! It's my first time to a repair store and Venil's auto repair is definitely the best and it's gonna be my favorite repair store! I came to change a flat tire and rear break. GREAT service with GOOD deal! If you need any services for your car, I HIGHLY recommend you to come here! read more

Vic is seriously the most reliable and honest mechanic I have ever come across. He always pinpoints the exact problems and doesn't give me the run around or use sell tactics like other mechanics do on how my car will "break down" if I don't fix it. I would 10000% recommend Vic to anyone looking for an HONEST mechanic. P.S He fixes your car very fast! Love that read more

I've been a customer here for years. I was referred by my sister and I'm so glad I took her advice. Not only is his mechanical work second to none , but his prices are extremely reasonable. I've never felt cheated! If you're looking for a great mechanic this is the place to direct yourself to. True and honest mechanic. read more

Vic is the best. He is the most honest trustworthy man ever. I had some issues with my car, I was referred to vic by a good friend of mine, he was able to find the right diagnostic and was able to repair it at a very reasonable price. He also has 35 years of mechanic experience. My car is doing great and I am so grateful for being referred to him. You will not regret it. Vic you are the best!! Thank you read more
