    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.

    Very happy with the professional technical support and friendly service recently experienced at Automotive Instincts. They have done it ‘consistently right’ since I first started using them for service on my Honda vehicles in 1986.

    Honesty and kindness still exist

    By Verified Customer in Burbank, CA

    I went to have a noise coming from my 2024 Kia Sportage looked at. Although I did not have any work done (just an oil change), Kevin and Scott were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They did not let me waste time and money on something that was covered under my warranty. They could have easily "fixed" the problem and still sent me to the dealership. But they saw my frustration, and educated me on the world of warranties and dealerships. I will keep them on speed dial if I need any work done.

    Repairs and inspections

    By Mary P. in Sylmar, CA

    I started using Automotive Instincts about 30 years ago.as my children became teens I only bought a car after it was inspected at Automotive Instints.They have saved me from buying at least 3 lemons.The money I paid for inspections has saved cash and heartache. I moved from Northridge 8 years ago but I still depend on Automotive Instincts to keep my car running at a fair price.

    Repairs and inspections

    By MARY P. in Northridge, CA

    I started using Automotive Instincts about 30 years ago.As my children became teens I only bought a car after it was inspected at Automotive Instincts. Because they inspected the cars so thoroughly I avoid buying 3 lemons. The money spent for the inspection saved cash and heartache. I moved from Northridge but so depend on their honest and affordable rates I willing drive the 30 minutes to have my service.

    Xlnt service

    By DAVID M. in Northridge, CA

    Very professional. Went in for 3 service items to do, as was told by the dealer. They checked the items I told them, as told by the dealer to me. They checked carfax and I was told that 2 of the 3 items was previously done and not needed now. I was thankful to them for being honest and now they have a customer for life.
