Burbank Auto Repair

The owner does not talk much.....but he is very nice and straight forward. I had my car checked in for an issue with the AC condenser and they wanted to charge me almost 900 dollars. I found this pace thanks to Yelp and I really feel grateful because my car was fixed in 4 hours for less than half of the cost my dealer was going to charge me. Definitely bringing the car back here again whenever something goes wrong with it.

I've been coming here for over 10 years and chalards can't be beat. He's straight forward with no BS. You can totally trust this place.

The BEST mechanic you could ever hope to find ANYWHERE!! He is very knowledgeable, HONEST, FAIR, and does PHENOMENAL WORK ... what a gem!!! So Grateful for him!!

I thought I need to replace my car battery so I ask AAA to tow my car to Chalard's place. He doesn't chit chat with you but he is the most HONEST mechanic I have ever seen!!!!! He find out the reason why my battery was out all the time ( some weird stuff happen with my fog light:/) and switched my terminal, now my car runs like a new one !! SUPER AWESOME!

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.
