Awesome Advisors
The advisors are very knowledgeable. Very satisfied with the results of the jobs. Most especially, the location is just a couple of blocks away from home.

A.I. Is definitely essential!
We take both of our cars to AI. That’s why we’ve been able to keep our cars so long. Both have over 200,000 miles on them with many more miles to go. They always go above and beyond while keeping the price within reason and our last visit was no exception. We’ve known Steve since 1979 and will continue using his services as long as we have a car.

Easy to make an appointment, fair and reasonable, knowledge of my specific model and readiness to explain all that is to be done.
I have been driving out to Northridge from mid town Los Angeles to have my car serviced at Automotive Instincts for years. I simply trust them with my car.

Why I love these guys
Full service with a smile and honest mechanics. What more could a lady want? And they're now offering car pick-up and delivery, so I can wait in the comfort and safety of my own home, which is important right now. Sent the car in for an oil change and asked them for a battery check as well, since the car is almost 5 years old, and I knew the battery was wonky. Steve got my car turned around promptly, and even took the time to explain to DH how to keep car batteries alive when the cars are only driven sporadically. And the total bill was substantially less than I would have paid my dealer, who doesn't pick up and deliver, or offer shuttle service to my neighborhood...

Confidence brought on by Professionalism
Auto Instincts was very professional from the time I walked in the door. I was impressed with the staff and how attentive they were (Edwin) to insure I was comfortable with the service to be performed and letting me know the cost upfront.

Always the RIGHT amount of great service
Automotive Instincts (AI) has serviced three of our cars for several years now. The quality of work performed is always superb and the AI team tells it like it is regarding work that should be done (now) versus work that can wait until a future date. No up-selling and fear tactics like we sometimes have experienced at the dealership or other 3rd party automotive service companies. The AI team knows how to keep your car safe, on the road and performing the way you like it to perform. Thanks for many years of great service at fair prices.
