Burbank Auto Repair

Holy cow, Chalard is AMAZING. I went there with very low expectations about my car--it broke down unexpectedly and the first mechanic I went to quoted me $2800 to fix it, and recommended I just junk the car. I decided to take it to Chalard for a second opinion, and THANK GOD I did. He told me the other guy didn't know what he was talking about and he could do the fix for about $1300. I picked it up the other week, and omg my little car purrs like a kitten. It sounds/drives better than it EVER has. He offered to do a free checkup after 500 miles just to make sure everything is ok. Chalard, you are my automotive savior and a god among men. Other notes: yes, the place looks really terrible from the outside--like a chop shop, actually, but trust your fellow yelpers, things are not as they appear. Also, they took 2 days longer to fix it than they estimated, but not a big deal . . .

ASTOUNDINGLY HONEST AND INEXPENSIVE. After 10 years of calling Chalard my mechanic, I can't say enough great things about him. Each and every friend I've sent to him with car trouble have come back a devoted fan of this fantastic man. In a business full of petty crooks, Chalard is a shining example of honesty, quality, integrity, and skill. Enio

This place is AWESOME! I've been going to him for over 20 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my cars. Chalard is truly the last honest mechanic. Like the other reviewers said, he will not fix something unless you need it and his prices are just right (read - very cheap/reasonable). You'll be sorry if you don't go to him!

BEST mechanic EVER! He knows what he's doing and doesn't give you the run around and help out in more way than you can imagine. He's like FAMILY. I highly recommend you get all your services done here.

Chalard truly is the bomb! I can't say enough good things about him so I'm letting the stars speak for this review. I just wish he wasn't in Burbank (or at least I wish I had a friend that could pick me up and drop me off when my car would be serviced there).

Chalard is so smart he knows exactly what is wrong with you car every single time. I've gone to him after having other places tell me that it's one thing that needs fixed and he always proves them wrong! Why would I go elsewhere you say if he's so good? Time and convenience. I live in Hollywood and he is in Burbank. It's not always easy to get a ride over to him and then he does take a little time to work on your car so you have to be willing to be without your wheels for a couple days-depending on what the issue is. However, it's totally worth it as he has the most competitive pricing, he will never steer you wrong, he only fixes what needs fixed and never overcharges you for unwanted things. He is a rockstar in my book and I LOVE HIM! I really do, I wish he were a dentist or a hairstylest too because I trust him so much! One thing though, he is Asian and kinda hard to understand sometimes so don't freak out if you don't get what he's saying, just trust that he will do the right thing. Also, when you call, a lot of times the phone is not picked up and you have to call back but it's only because he's working his butt off so he can get your wheels back to you so you can make it to those auditions all over the city! If you're tight on cash and even if you're not, he is the best deal around and the most competent!

Great service and great price. He won't overcharge and will not suggest that you fix things that don't need repair or maintenance. I won't go on with details because then his shop will get too busy and then the wait will be too long, but if you are in Burbank and need a remarkably dependable and trustworthy mechanic, he is the one.
