Burbank Auto Repair

Had my car all day and still couldn't give me any info about cost or when it would be fixed. Dropped my car off at 8:30 am and was told I would be called in a couple hours, never heard anything and had to call at 4 pm...waste of time and now I still have to find someone who can actually do the job

I want to add my recommendation of Chalard to the list below. Yes it's true that he is not very talkative, but he gets the job done. Went in for problems with my starter, and spent less than $200, which is a win in my book. I've been looking for a mechanic for my aging car, and I think I've finally found one. By the way there is a Thrifty Car Rental across the street, and Enterprise is a short walk away.

Honest and skilled mechanic. The only difficulty is we need to be very clear about the problem. He will fix it clean and complete. We wont get that much help in preventive check and general service. Best mechanic in Burbank but remember be clear with your problems to fix. Thanks.

Great place; highly recommended. No fuss, no frills, just good solid work from a good guy who knows his business. Had my radiator, water pump, and hoses replaced. Solid work; solid guys. 2016 Edit: This review is for the old Chalard's. I have never tried the new FAS.

After all these years, and all these times I never did, today I made a darn YELP account just so I could rate Chalard's Auto Repair as high as possible. I was told at multiple car repair shops that to find out why my 'check engine' light was on they would have to charge me $65 for a diagnostic, and I would have to leave the car for hours. Being a workin' lady in LA its hard for one to find the time if most places close at 6pm, not to mention getting one's self around this city without a car. Thank goodness for Chalard!! I went in on my lunch break and was told he would need the car for an hour. Only one hour? I was incredulous! But lo and behold, after an hour he had done a diagnostic, repaired the problem for me AND only charged me 20 bucks for the whole thing!! In a hot city full of thousands of unknown and ominous ghostly auto-body shops, I am so grateful for you help Chalard, I am already recommending you to all my pals. If you see a guy with a real big gap between his front teeth come into the shop soon, then thats because I sent him !

I went there with my friend and the guy was so nice he told us exactly what we needed to do to fix his car. This saved my friend a couple of hundred dollars and the repair took 5 minutes. It's rare to see a mechanic so cool and helpful.

Love this place! Tried it for the first time over the weekend. I trusted this guy immediately, and he gave me a clear invoice that indicated a much lower price than expected. This is officially my go-to shop for my little truck, Marge. :)

I've been going to Chalard's for couple of years now, and every time I just have to say this business is the most honest, fair, and reasonably priced auto repair place I've ever known. The last two times it was even 'no charge' He may be a man of few words but he knows his auto repair. I took my car from another local place where I was told the repair would be 1200.00 plus for a catalytic converter, Chalard's found it to be a $16.00 hose, Kid you not. From that point on he has been the only place I will go for repair. Very highly recommend this business.

My AC starting going, I took it to a place called Firestone Auto Repair, in San Fernando, They diagnosed it and said my condenser, compressor and valves all had to be replaced, to a tune of $1,800.00 !!!!! (why did I take it to Firestone they're 1 block from my work) Took it to Chalard, I was expecting a lesser amount BUT to tell me that it was just a leaky valve!!! I spent less than 100 bucks!! Best Honest mechanic I've ever come across. THANK YOU CHALARD!!!

Yay Chalard's! I dropped my baby for what I thought was a starter problem and I was quickly diagnosed with a low charged battery!!! So they charged me up, and I got an oil change (I had gone past my regular scheduled maintenance) and brake rotor change and scrubbing too, which I had also needed really bad!!! Great work and reasonably priced!!!
