    Consistent, reliable service

    By Verified Customer in Northridge, CA

    AI continues to provide consistent and reliable service for maintenance as well as any additional repairs required for both of my vehicles. Very trustworthy as they are honest about what service is required and do not try to find additional items which would inflate the charges incurred. When additional service may be required outside of the normal maintenance items the explanation is clear and emphasizes potential safety concerns which need to be addressed. The level of competence in completing all of the work required is consistently at the highest standard.

    Automotive instincts review, they are the best

    By JOYCE R. in Van Nuys, CA

    I have been a customer of Automotive Instincts for more than 25+ years. They are the best. Unlike dealerships, they do not “push work”. For about the last 6+ months, they have been monitoring a potential $500 repair, and they keep telling me, it’s fine, we’ll check on it next time you come in, unlike dealerships who say “it can go out anytime”. In 25+ years, every repair was done right the first time. Gary

    I always get excellent service!

    By BARBARA O. in Northridge, CA

    When ever I go to Automotive Instincts I am sure that my car will receive a thorough check-up. If there is any item that needs service I am told when I need to replace/repair the part. Sometimes they watch an item and let me know when the time has arrived to repair. They have been my mechanics for 25 years.

    46 years of quality car care

    By BILL M. in Simi Valley, CA

    Our family has been going to Automotive Instincts since our first new Honda was purchased in 1980. That's 46 years of being a happy customer because our cars are always serviced properly and I wouldn't be doing that if anything had been done incorrectly. Our 3rd generation family member is not driving and that car will also be serviced at AI. Thanks for what you people do with a smile.

    By DOREEN W. in Sylmar, CA

    I have always trusted the mechanics & Steve to maintain my vehicles & provide me with recommendations as to what to focus on next. Their patient explanations & advice are so appreciated because I don’t know much. about cars. I can’t remember exactly when we started with Steve but it might have been in the 1980’s …or earlier. Thanks to Steve & his staff.

    By SALLY R. in Northridge, CA

    AI originally said that they couldn't address replacing the starter on our 2002 Honda Accord until Tuesday, but then were able to fix it on Monday. They always do a great job trying their best for their customers!
