    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.

    Respectable service and really knowledgeable

    By ROSA M. in Canoga Park, CA

    First time coming here, was very hesitant since it’s my first time getting my car fixed alone. I was searching for a repair shop that was respectable and very honest and straight forward. Automotive Instincts appeared as one of the highest rating in reviews. And now I know why, Danny was patient in explaining the problems my car had and always letting me know any updates before getting my approval on the work that my car desperately needed. Definitely coming back for sure!

    Trusted, honest, quality work

    By KATHLEEN R. in Altadena, CA

    My family has been trusting the owner since the 1970’s. We take care of our cars, but are not extravagant and we don’t have “car problems.” That’s because the team helps keep cars “healthy” at a fair price. We highly recommend them!

    Best honda/toyota repair anywhere

    By MARK M. in Northridge, CA

    Automotive Instincts (AI) provides the best service I’ve ever had. Steve and his team are all pros. They service our 2002 Toyota Tundra and 2026 Honda CRV, and have done so for over 5 years. Very high ethics folks. Probably not the cheapest prices, but they are fair and reasonable. We won’t take our cars anywhere else. Interestingly, today I took my Tundra in for an oil change. In the lobby, I met a gentleman who brings his cars from Pasadena because he trusts AI so highly. Money can’t buy high ethical standards. You won’t go wrong with these guys.
