About us
The independent automotive shop was established in 2001 by Carlos and Guille Menjivar and won the Super Service Award in 2013. Our company, Omega Automotive (formerly Omega Transmission), is in Northridge, CA. We offer honest and transparent car repair services to residents and businesses in the greater Los Angeles County area, blocks away from California State University at Northridge (CSUN), the Northridge Fashion Center, and just minutes from the 101, 118 and 405 Freeways. The Omega automotive family expanded in 2010 to include Northridge Body Shop, an auto body repair and collision facility. This affords Omega the opportunity to provide complete mechanical and body shop services for all passenger vehicles including cars, small trucks and vans with the capacity for up to 15 passengers. Today, the Omega family consists of seven employees including Carlos and Guille, two service writers and three technicians. The bi-lingual staff provides customers with personalized and friendly service. Most services can be done the same day and repairs are backed with a 24 month or 24,000-mile warranty. The Menjivars are ardent supporters of community events. Carlos donates his time to the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) and the Greater Van Nuys Rotary. Both are active in their church. Carlos is also a member of the North Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce, Valley Business Professionals and Inside Track, while Guille is affiliated with the Woodland Hills Chamber Women’s Circle and the Women’s Professional Forum.

Your feedback is very valuable--thank you. we at Omega Automotive look forward to assisting you with all your car needs. from basic maintenance to larger repair as well as auto body and paint."
My car is 28 years old, and parts are sometimes (sometimes?) a challenge to find. Repairs routinely take longer than Carlos expects simply because tracking down some parts takes longer than he expects. However, Carlos will call me *immediately* when he finds there are delays, to keep me updated. We both learned to add a fudge factor of 25% on to any estimated time for repairs.
Carlos will answer all questions, is honest, forthright, and a delight and joy to work with. When things don't go as he expected, he says so, explaining in detail if I request. Not everybody wants to know details. I grew up in a house full of mechanics, so I not only want to know, I understand. I've changed mechanics at times not because they weren't good mechanics, but because they wouldn't explain repairs, or glitches, or "why this and not that" questions. Carlos explained, even on those rare occasions when the explanation might make his shop look stupid.
I just moved to Albany, NY, from Northridge, CA, and I *miss* Carlos very much. I'm going to have to train a new mechanic, and I'm not looking forward to it. Finding a mechanic who is not only competent and honest, but has no problem talking "mechanic" to a woman can be challenging. More so it seems than finding parts for my car.
