I love Hrant. This place is honest, respects your time, very reasonable prices for basic car stuff and he has great recommendations for other places that do the stuff he doesn’t. All around great. I found it through a family member. You will not be disappointed.

Needed a 100,000 mile check in, they scheduled me in really quick and the price was super reasonable. Great service! they also wrote down some things they would like to keep an eye on in a pamphlet to put in my glove compartment. Really appreciated that

High quality, honest people. Were patient when i had questions. They had little details, such as offering to toss out a banana peel I was holding. Really liked them. They were good people.

Hrant has consistently come through time and time again for 4 of our vehicles over the years. Quality and communication are top notch, theres never an upsell, and prices are fair and honest. I cant recommend Hrant enough.

Its been 18 years since I lived in Pasadena and Hrant was my go-to for my truck and car for my 5+ years there. He handled a blown head gasket on my Ford truck and serviced my Acura consistently with care. Whenever I referred friends they thanked me. He sought to do well by people and showed himself trustworthy. I wish he were in the Bay Area where I am living now. Thanks Hrant, I could not pass up this opportunity to write an endorsement for all youve done for me an others.

Hrant is always fantastic. I went in with a nail in my tire without an appointment. I left with a patched tire and recommendations for reliable places to get some other work done on my car in 15 minutes, all for $10.

Hrant continues to provide hands down the best automotive service you will find. Their attention to detail and customer service is unrivaled. Always with an explanation provided with a smile, youll never get that feeling that youre getting the short end of the stick here as is the case with a lot of other places unfortunately. Myself and my family will continue to come here as long as we own cars!

This play was a gem of a find! We needed to replace the supports for our trunk on a Subaru outback. We got the parts directly from Subaru and Hrant had them on the car and me out the door within 15 minutes of arriving. Price was extremely reasonable and we are very happy with their service. We will definitely be bringing our cars here for future repairs.

This is only my second time coming here, but the staff here is kind, professional, and excellent at communicating price and time estimates so theres no surprises! They seem honest, and I never feel taken advantage of here. Will be my go-to for car repairs.

Hrant is the only mechanic I go to! He’s honest and trust worthy. Prices are always the best and he takes pride in his work to make sure my car is safe! If I ever have a problem he can’t fix, he’ll refer me to someone else who he knows!

So sorry. Did not know I had one star for Hrant Auto service. My deepest apologies. I was learning how to use this rating system 6 months ago.This a five star well deserve place. Always great service, very honest and will go the extra miles to help your needs. Thanks so much.

Both my wife and I (having taken our car separately to Hrant) have always appreciated the quality work and the honesty that Hrant and his crew have exemplified every time.

Review №38

Tune up was fairly expensive on my Scion tc which consisted of new spark plugs, air & cabin filter. Charged nearly $100 for labor & $70 for parts(took about 15min)What irks me the most is that they broke the clips on the wiring harness of the ignition coils when replacing the spark plugs. All 4 of them! And they fixed it by permanently epoxying the two together!They also used platinum spark plugs instead of iridium which it originally had.Overall, I appreciate the effort but the quality of the service seemed lacking.

Hrant is a true professional. I could go on and on about the positive experience. This is my second time at this shop, and he exceeded my expectations both times. What a relief to have found an honest, fair and skilled mechanic. Save yourself the time and stress of searching for an auto repair shop and go see Hrant. You will never look back. Thanks again guys.

I have been going to Hrants for service 6 years now. Always great, honest work for more than fair prices. My car has not had a single issue through these years thanks to Hrants care. I have sent multiple friends here and they all have been very grateful :) I cannot recommend him highly enough.

One of my headlights was out. I found Hrant on Yelp and decided to give him a try because of all the great reviews. He didnt disappoint. $25, and I was out the door in 5 minutes. Amazingly quick and courteous service! Ill definitely be back when I need my car worked on again.

I have been going to Hrant for about 6 to 7 years and he is great. He always gives a consistent level of service and his prices are always fair and right. He remembers your name and the kind of car you drive even if you only visit him once a year. Highly recommended.

I’d highly recommend Hrant Auto. Their customer service is superb! Even when I’ve gotten there late, they are friendly and helpful and make sure I get taken care of. Their prices are also very reasonable considering how quickly they have always serviced my car.

Review №50

Called about an issue with my car (ignition replacement) which he personally did not do, but referred me to someone who could. He was kind enough to call me back shortly after to let me know that if I wanted to just swing by he could confirm that this was the issue. Extremely kind and wonderful service!

I rarely take the time to rate businesses, but Hrant and team are so wonderful that I just had to. They are honest, do quality work, and have reasonable prices. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Great service and quick. So appreciative that the $650 repair that the dealership said I needed actually was just a minor adjustment thanks to Hrant. Im having all my maintenance done at this shop from now on.

Review №53

Best mechanic Ive found in years. Very trustworthy, nice as can be and their prices are great. I called around to other mechanics to compare the quote they gave me and Hrant prices were the best deal by far. They will be my forever mechanic.

Review №54

They are exactly what u wish every mechanic would be, u can trust their knowledge and not worry that u have to research their advise on ur own, theyre 100% honest and so polite and considerate. I went there bc my sister said theyre great, had a leak in my power steering fluid. They diagnosed it and when I said I didnt have time to stay for them to repair bc I live out of town and had to drive home that same day, they told me what to do once I got home and then comped the diagnostic, plus filled my fluids- all no charge! Once I move back to LA, theyll be my mechanic. Do urself a favor and go to them!

Review №55

I brought my car in this morning for a routine oil change and a check up before I drive several thousand miles across the country. I had some concerns about the brakes and an unusual noise. Within 20 minutes, Hrant and his crew had diagnosed the issues and recommended some repairs. A short one hour later, I had two new tires, new rear brake pads, a fresh batch of oil, and recommendations for future (non-critical) work that I should have done, all for $400.These folks are honest, fast, polite, and have very reasonable prices. I could not be happier with the service I received. If youre in the area, I would recommend this shop over any other!

Best honest mechanic in town!When in my mid 20s my dad brought his car to Hrant, its a family tradition because I also bring my car to Hrant and the staff is friendly (Alex and older gentleman), and of course Hrant himself is trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional and affordable! THANK YOU for Excellent and Timely Service =)

Review №66

Unfortunately I had to edit my original review of 5 stars. While they were very friendly and fast, I believe they made a mistake. I had to get a warped tire replaced. I assumed that they would use the same tire make/model as the rest, and they were pretty new already so I figured Id only need the one replaced. However, they ended up replacing the tire with a different brand. Additionally, said tire was a racing tire. As the shaking in my steering column came back, I brought it to a different auto service, who explained the error and I had to buy two new tires. I shouldve made sure the tire was the same, but I dont know much about cars and figured they would make the right call.

Review №68

I stopped by about a year ago after getting an oil change done at the Honda dealer on foothill. I drive a 2014 Honda Accord, the Honda dealer told me I needed to change the transmission fluid. Long story short, I took my car to Hrant, after checking the mileage on it (roughly 20k miles) he said Osker, your car is brand new, I would feel bad if I changed the transmission fluid, your car doesnt need it. You can only respect and admire this kind of honesty. Well guess what? My car is close to 30k now and Ill definitely be stopping by to get this service done with him. See you soon Hrant!

Review №69

This was my first time coming to Hrant based on the reviews I found online. You can tell that the owner and his employees base their business on some high standards professionally. When I came into the shop, I realized the man who I spoke to on the phone was the owner and he remembered exactly what I needed. I waited for less than the time he said I would and I paid exactly what I was quoted. Being a woman, walking into a car repair store can be intimidating, but I was treated with respect and I got the feeling like the owner would only do the work if it was necessary. Thank you for being a light in a business that unfortunately doesnt always have a good reputation. I would refer anyone to you guys.

Review №86

Im at a loss ....All these positive reviews. The reason I took my car there a few times.1st time to replace my starter2nd time to fix my right front axle & power steering pump3rd time to replace front brake pads & rotors ***4th and last time for an oil changeHe is friendly but quick. He doesnt have time for small talk.When I drove off after getting my brakes & rotor replaced, my car did not feel right. There was a grinding feel every time I stopped. When I called Hrant back to check them again he said they are fineHes the machanic everyone glorifies, so I figured he was right.I noticed the brakes would now leave a dark dust on my hub cabs. I checked with a friend of mine who used to specialize in repairing Hondas and he said Hrant must have used cheap pads :/Less then a year later my car suddenly makes that god awful noise when the brakes have gone bad! I couldnt believe my car was going to need new brakes again.So I took it to another shop and the guy was surprised the brakes did not go out on me and have me end up in a bad accident. THE NEW ROTOR WAS TERRIBLY WORN OUT! AND THE BRAKE PAD WAS HANGING BY A STRING!!He assured me a new rotor would not have worn out in such a short time/miles. And that the pads used were the cheapest in the market.So why out of all these great reviews did I end up with such bad service?!I certainly had luck on my side that I did not end up in an accident.Should I have called Hrant back? Would I have felt safe even after I took my car back and he said the brakes are fine??? NO!I was so upset and let down that I forgot to take pictures of the damn rotor and pads to show you all.Makes me question some of these reviews.Are they made from family members, friends, employees? ? ?
