Arin is just incredible! He is amazing at customer service and his level of care has exceeded any body shop I've been to. He's helped me with questions and service referrals even outside of paid work he's done for me, can't recommend this place enough especially as a female where it's a bit harder to trust this line of work being limited in my knowledge on some aspects! read more

I came to Arin with a complex transmission issue on a car make/model he was unfamiliar with at the time. Instead of turning me away, he met the moment by learning all about my car and coming up with a solution. He truly cares about doing the best job and is passionate about his work. And did I mention he's the most honest mechanic I've ever had the pleasure of working with? As a woman who happens to be an engineer, I'm not so easy to fool when it comes to mechanical issues (though many have tried). With Arin, there was zero funny business from the start .... he's the real deal. read more

Absolutely amazing. Been taking my vehicles to this shop for 2 years, and never a return for a repeat issue.

Top tier service would highly recommend Arin as he is a master at his craft. Don't think twice give them a call

It is such a comfort to find an honest, caring, knowledgeable auto mechanic. Arin is the best there is! He will invite you to watch him work on your car and answer any questions throughout the process! He makes sure to go over every detail of the repair, including showing you all the parts used and the old ones he replaced. Arin is not only a master when it comes to all things cars, his prices are like getting a family and friends discount! read more

Different cars, same great service. Coming in for regular maintenance or big jobs, Rabi's work is always timely & honest. As a woman, I enjoy having the comfort of knowing I can trust my mechanic to provide a seamless experience without the bs. Today I dropped off my Subaru Outback for an oil change after a long road/camping trip & the car was promptly ready for me after lunch a local Mexican restaurant. Upon my return, I had suggestions for brake replacements by the end of the year & notified of a nail in my tire that needs repair/replacing. I'm so thankful to know because I now have plans to save up for it. Thanks WF for your helpfulness in making sure I'm always safe on the road! I appreciate their honesty & efficiency. I'll be returning before the year ends for the recommended service. read more

I had a small issue with my transmission. My truck is over 20 years old so it's got lots of issues !! lol ARIN rebuilt it last year. As soon as I contacted him he told me not to worry I was 100% covered. Dropped it off this morning, and it was ready after work as promised. He truly does stand behind his work. I couldn't be more pleased. Arin is a Gem, and damn good Mechanic. I feel fortunate to have him available to keep me on the road. read more

Our old 1990 Chevy S10 had been sitting in our yard for over 3 years until we decided to get it fixed. In all honesty, I am surprised that they even took the time to look at it!! We called AAA to have it sent to WF Auto & Transmission because we heard that they were good. We were NOT disappointed. Jonathan took the time to communicate with us. His communication/text skill was impeccable. We asked questions and they delivered. Their mechanic, Ravi, did such a good job! Our truck is running and made it up the mountains and down. That's all we can hope for with this old baby blue. William, the owner, even took the time to take it to get smogged before we picked it up . The service they provided to us deserved a 5 star!!! Thank you so much!!! read more

See all

Brought my daughters car in for diagnostics as it was running a little rough. Appeared to be a transmission issue as I took it to my local shop and I've came up with a couple of transmission error codes, which he didn't want to deal with, referred me to a transmission specialty shop, who then suggested I take it to the dealer who told me I needed a new transmission. Fortunately, I found WF Transmission after Arin and his crew went through the car they found a laundry list of issues but not a transmission issue. We bit the bullet had him take care of the major issues, and the car runs like new. Reasonable rates for all the work done. Definitely my go-to guy for any car repairs. Communication throughout the repair was thorough, always kept abridged of cost and time line. read more

Hands down the BEST mechanic. Thorough, explanatory, reasonable and HONEST! Our entire family brings all of our vehicles here, and we have yet to be disappointed. Arin has been taking care of our families vehicles for years. Not many mechanics you can trust. Thank you Arin & Bobby for keeping us safe on the road!! WE appreciate you guys, keep up the awesome work!! read more

Our family was about to drive hundreds of miles back home from a roadtrip, and were afraid the car wouldn't be able to make it without incident. Morning of our drive I called in and described the issue to Eric. Although he was booked for the whole day, due to the urgency and nature of the issue he told us to drop by to see if he could help us. We arrived, he was able to squeeze us in, got us in working order and sent us on our way! Super honest and ethical, if we're even in town again we know who to go to, and would recommend his services again in a second. read more

So let me start by saying I have not yet repaired my transmission. So why am I leaving a review? Well, I spoke to 4 transmission shops and prices ranged from $3000-7500 for a rebuilt transmission. This shop was on the low end, and they spent almost 1/2 hour on the phone giving me information, different options, and suggestions. I was so thankful that someone actually seemed to care and treated me like a person and not just another sale. If we decide to fix the transmission, we definitely will come here. But even if we scrap the car, I will recommend this shop based on their integrity and the way they treat people. So hard to find these days. Thanks! read more

The five star Yelp reviews don't lie, this was the best auto mechanic experience I ever had. Fast, reliable, fair price, and also told me some jokes along the way. Made suggestions that saved me a lot of money, waited late for me to get there to pick up the car, and just straight out took care of me. I can honestly say that I've been searching for a great mechanic for years, and now I got a mechanic for life. read more

Arin provides an honest and highly competent service operation with reasonable prices. I am particularly impressed with his preventative maintenance approach to auto service, in order to reduce the chances of an unexpected breakdown in an inconvenient place. Finally, but most importantly, Arin has excellent communication skills and patiently explains whether or not a particular service is required. read more

I needed some work done on a brand new truck and was recommendedto WF. I called up and spoke to Arin and he actually made room for same day work but I informed him the coming Thursday would be better and boom schedule. Dropped off in am and he send a e quote. His billing system is awesome it's all text and e based with e sign and email ending paper work, top notch. I showed up a bit early and he was fine tuning the alignment I was like what no one does that they get close numbers and throw it OTD. He pulled the truck out parked looked at me and said you need to test drive it, but then jumped in with me again what who does that. We drove back parked and he did a 1 last tq check on all my lugs again who, he called it good. Arin is above and beyond a good mechanic he is the true meaning of a good mechanic. He is EV certified, he works on Diesel, his shop it state of the art with tools. I'm a mechanic and mechanical engineer I've been around the dirt and race world my entire life and I honestly can say I've never been around a mechanic like this, his honesty goes above and beyond. I will be back and recommend to his shop from here out! Thank you very much Arin! read more

It pains me to lower my rating of this repair shop dramatically. New management has caused me to do something I usually loathe to do. Make a bad review. Recently, I dropped $830 in labor alone in getting work done. A couple of weeks later, I took my first highway drive and discovered the brakes violently shook at 60+ MPH. When I called the shop they refused to even look at the brakes. I took the car to another shop and with one look they responded, 'these brakes weren't installed properly'. Good news is, I found a new repair shop, read more

Arin helped us out. What an honest nice man. Best car shop experience ever. Never going to anyone else but this guy.

Great service. Best in Valley my far Aron the owner will take good care of your car.

Absolute GEM, honest, thorough, covers all aspects of the issue. Arin is absolutely the best! My mechanic of thirty years is no longer able, Arin will be my mechanic for the next thirty years. Outstanding service, communication and knowledge. His trust rating is 10+, skill rating 10+. Plus he works on Saturdays. Recommend above all others! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Arin and his crew at WF Auto. They have always given us the best service no matter what the problem. They're knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy, and I'd highly recommend them for any auto repairs no matter what car you have. Give them a call and see for yourself. read more

Great honest mechanic very knowledgeable I recommend Arin to anyone who has service or transmission needs.

I brought a used car here to get an pre-purchase inspection done. I checked on Yelp for a mechanic that was nearby, open on a weekend, and highly rated. Despite it being a weekend and already starting to get pretty busy, Arin was able to help me right away and took a lot of time to show me things and explain things to me. He talked me out of buying that car. Not only did he point out problems that it had, and potential issues it could have later, but he asked me questions about what my priorities were in a vehicle and why I was buying a car and what I was looking at and such. He talked to me about the kinds of cars to look for and avoid when shopping for a used car, the types of maintenance and repair issues I could have with different options. When I told them one of those cars he recommended was next on my list to check out, he asked to see my list and pointed out those he really recommended based on east of maintenance and the priority questions he asked me earlier. The inspection service was very well-priced. Even though he kept mirthfully saying things like "that's what you're paying me for", Arin was doing a lot more than a simple inspection service. He talked me out of making a mistake I might have really regretted and steered me toward the car I finally ended up purchasing. Despite doing quite a bit of internet research beforehand, I had a lot of misconceptions about cars (and especially about buying used cars) and Arin helped correct a lot of that. After one visit, I now regard him as a friend. Definitely go here. I wish I lived somewhere near the Chatsworth area so he could be my regular mechanic. read more

I highly recommend this shop. I do all my own routine maintenance but when it came time to rebuild my transmission, they quoted two separate prices: a minimum cost and maximum cost. The final cost came just in between the two and I couldn't be happier with the final result. Jonathan took the time to explain everything that needed to be done. Really kind and helpful, no pushy sales stuff. He also pointed out a couple issues that may needed to be fixed in the future which I already had an idea about but didn't try and push me on it like so many other shops would do. Just honest good people. My second visit was to get an alignment fixed. I didn't have the time to come here first (wish I would've waited) so I took it to a well known franchise tire shop to get the alignment done. Long story short, they messed up my alignment so bad and wouldn't budge on fixing it. So I finally got time to take it over to WF to get it looked at and once again Jonathan and Ravi (I think that's his name? Sorry if I messed it up) had me sit in the shop while they put it on the rack and brought my alignment back in to spec. They were shocked how bad the other guys threw my alignment out of spec lol. Again, they took the time to answer my questions and explain to me the before and after specs. I love learning about mechanics and doing my own work and these guys are great at showing how things are done. These guys deserve all the business. We need more mechanics like this. Honest, patient, and skilled. Thanks so much for helping me out and I can't wait to be back for another alignment check when I put my new lift struts and shocks in! read more

I came in here with the fear that my 2013 Ford Focus was going to need a new transmission. I can't remember the name of the young Hispanic man who helped me over the phone, then once again when I arrived to the shop. Instead of making up some false car issues, two gentlemen at the shop, drove my car, performed online research to determine if there known issues with my models, looked for resolutions pertaining to the reported issues. After all that, one of the gentlemen, adjusted a battery cable and I was back on the road. The problem message was car was generating was due to a loose battery cable(or something like that) and, wouldn't you know, I drove home that night with me car, without any new parts, labor, the gentlemen were nice enough to fix that cable without charging me a dime. The only way I can repay their kindness is by taking my car there for oil changes. It's this kind of human service that makes companies stand the test of time. I hope this place is always in business. For an honest and trustworthy auto-shop, do yourself a favor, and stop by at this place. read more

We've been going here for a few years now and they've been great! Ravi, Arin, and Jonathan (who I think is no longer there ) are the 3 people I've encountered on a regular basis and they are incredibly polite, respectful, and personable. They do great, fast, HONEST work on all our vehicles. They've also given great recommendations for other services to other people/shops for other services such as windshield repair. One time, they squeezed us into their schedule for a quick oil change even though they were clearly SWAMPED with cars. They are awesome! read more

My husband brought our car in and Arin diagnosed several small problems that needing fixing and a couple of major problems. He gave him a quote for each problem separately and recommended the ones that should be done first. He even sent pictures. Arin is very profession and respectful. All work was done on time and the car runs great. The work was done at the price quoted and was reasonable. Thank you Arin for the great service. We won't go anywhere else for our cars. read more

Honest mechanic who doesn't upsell you. Made an appointment, and upon my arrival, they got right to work without any delays. Very affordable, fast, and overall a pleasant experience. My new mechanic for the area, and someone who I will refer everyone to. Keep up the good work guys. read more

Had been to the same mechanic for several years, decided to make a change due to lack of customer service from previous shop. Called WF Auto, Arin is straight up honest and knowledgeable. I will be recommending friends and family. Due yourself a favor and call him up. read more

The whole team was very accommodating to my needs, and the kindest mech shop I've ever been too. I came in not knowing why my car was making strange sounds. They went out of their way to diagnose the problem. During this process, Jonathan would educate me/provide me detailed info about why my brakes and rotors were making a grinding sound. Along with exact reasons why they needed to be replaced. This reassured me that I was receiving a good deal. He would give me updates about where they were in the process. Would schedule me for next day/morning appointments. He even stayed after hours when my bus was late coming back to the shop, so I could pick up my car and finish my transaction. Brought in my car a second day because the new brakes were still making a strange grinding sound. They put on ones that were found to be more compatible with the car, with no extra charge to me, since it was from the same manufacturer. Still the strange sound occurred, they got second opinions about what the problem could be from the other mechanics. So funny, that whole mech shop area where they're located is like a family of friends. When the owner, William, said they needed to look at the car for longer, he gave me a ride home since I didn't live far. And picked me up in my vehicle when the work was done and showed me the brakes no longer made the sound. They also put my battery in no charge They genuinely care for people and cars. Great customer service and very knowledgeable about what they're doing. I give this shop 5 stars for this reason. It's a gem in a sea of auto-shops. read more

Came in for oil change, inspection and tire rotation. I was met with amazing customer service from Jonathan and the owner Arin. They gave me a quote and time frame to get all my work done. They provide paperwork and a digital inspection for my records which I love. I have a new mechanic shop! read more

I dealt with Erin (the owner) regarding my truck; he diagnosed the issue and thoroughly explained what needed to be repaired. He was very flexible with my schedule and went above and beyond to make it work. When my truck was being worked on, he was clearly communicating with me on updates/progress and stayed late when I had to pick up my truck. Overall I highly recommend this shop and the owner is honest. I am very impressed with the work done on my truck and the reasonable price it took to repair. read more

Unlike most auto places that try to take your money regardless if the work can be done or not. Well these wonderful guys, realized that I couldn't do the alignment and even tho they started got all the equipment hooked up, they called to explain they couldn't do it and refunded all my money back and explained and gave me info on the reaSon why they couldn't align my car. I would recommend and come back!! Great prices read more

Really impressed. Arin was great to work with and his pricing is fair. Will be a return customer.

This is a nice and clean business. They have such nice workers there. I appreciate that they are honest. I took my car in and they fixed it without lying about price or what needed to be done. Even found something that really needed to be fixed and I had no clue about. I am glad that Jonathan showed me what needed to be fixed and why it needed to be fixed. I will continue to give them my business. When you find honest mechanics, keep going there because there are a lot of snakes in the layer. read more

This shop is by far one of the BEST in the Chatsworth area. Not only do they specialize in repairs such as maintenance and transmissions, but they also do alignments. If you need any work done to your car, this is the shop you want to bring your car! Edgar and his staff have worked on my car, as well as all my friends cars. Also, Alex and Rabi are very knowledgeable, friendly and do excellent work. I would recommend to call ahead and make an appointment to get an idea when is the best time for them to have your vehicle inspected and if there is work needed to be done. Just like any automotive shop it can get busy. The staff is courteous, polite and very professional. They will take care you! This is the only shop I recommend to people in the LA area, as I came all the way from the South Bay! read more

WF Auto & Transmission Services - Auto Repair Near Me - Chatsworth, California

I was referred to WF by my trusted mechanic Bruce Barthel, who runs Barthel Motoren Werke right down the street. Jonathan and Rabi made my visit great. I brought the car in for an alignment, and before starting the job, they both gave the car a brief overlook on tires and anything steering/suspension related. They brought various things to my attention, including some odd tire wear and some play in my steering column swivel joint. The alignment took a small amount of time, and it came out really well. You're provided a spec sheet on what was done as well. Jonathan exhibited great customer service, while Rabi did a great job on the car. Both of these guys are very friendly. I'll definitely be returning whenever my car is in need of an alignment. read more

WF Auto & Transmission Services - In for an alignment - Auto Repair Near Me - Chatsworth, California

I am a little late in posting this review but better late than never. After the dealer wanted to charge me $1800 to fix an engine issue I took my mini to WF Auto and they fixed it for the cost of about half of the dealer quote. They also advised me that I have a few items that were still under warranty that mini dealer should fix without charging me and they were right. This was about a year ago and I've been taking my car to WF Auto ever since for all my car needs, oil change, breaks, even nails in my tires. I have a 3 hours daily la commute, my baby runs into a lot of issues. The WF guys are always nice and helpful, the shop is also clean and spacious. I love that they're honest about what your car needs and won't find bs things to fix so they could charge you more. Which auto shop would tell you to bring your car to the dealer because some things are still under dealer warranty?!? I recently had my Mom bring her car to WF for a transmission service as well as an AC issue. Ravi was really nice in explaining what needs to be done. They had to order a specialty part and got her car done within a week. Also, they were nice enough to send pictures so I could show my mom the work required and progress. Seeing the pictures put her at ease since she has always worried about taking her Benz to a non-dealer mechanic. read more

WF Auto & Transmission Services - Pictures my mom received while her car was being worked on. Her whole dashboard apart just to fix one tiny issue from the AC. - Auto Repair Near Me - Chatsworth, California

These guys are great! Customer service is top notch. They are very informative and thorough in trouble shooting and explaining the issues. They go out of their way to find alternatives for replacement parts and save me $$$ whereas the dealership will charge 3x the price. I've been here twice for my maintenance/repairs needs and intend on doing so going forward. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I came in with a starter issue, but it was Arin's personable and kind personality that had me come back. He got the job done efficiently & quickly. I definitely recommend this place! read more

This place is great. I Initially thought that there was an issue with my alignment so I brought my car to these guys and it turned out that there was something else wrong with the car so they did not feel comfortable performing the service on my car until they knew for sure what the issue was. They didn't try to cheat me and perform the service anyway which could have worsened my issue. Jonathan at the front, was super helpful and honest with information. Definitely coming back for future services! read more
