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 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.

it went well! i had brakes done and the owner was honest and saying only back brakes needed to be fixed. he was the second mechanic to say my battery needed to be changed so i did that too.... he also gave me more info on things that need to be maintained which i cannot afford right now.

Omega never disappoints! Carlos, Guille and their team are reliable, honest and really know their cars. I never feel like I'm being cheated or over charged. I am always shown the used parts and told why they were removed and how it affected the car. My car is 13 years old and runs like a dream because of the Omega team.

As I stated above his work and that of his mechanics is impecable.
Description of Work
The amount above could have been a bit more don't remember. I have used Omega for several years for both my car and my husband's car. I know that Carlos will be honest with me. He'll tell me what needs to be fixed, and if it needs to be fixed now or if it can wait. How many auto mechanics do that? That last time I went in was for an oil and air filter change. Carlos' mechanic noted that one of my engine mounting was becoming loose. Carlos made a note that the next time I bring my car in for service, they'll recheck it. Since I've been using Carlos I have not had one roadside problem with my car. He catches everything beforehand.

Everything went well, but I never had a doubt that it wouldn't. I brought the car in that morning and within a few hours it was completed. Carlos is one of the most honest people I've ever met. He lets me know if I can wait to have something fixed, gives me an estimate of the cost and always tries to save me money on parts.
Description of Work
Carlos has been my mechanic for several years. I brought my 2001 Camry in for an oil change some weeks before and Carlos noted that some of the hoses were nearing the point of failure. It's because of his diligence that my car which is nearing 12 years old has remained reliable on the road.

Brought my car in. Transmission rebuilt, etc., as above. Took car home. I didn't like the way the car handled. Drove it a week or so to get a "feel" for it. Brought it back. Carlos tweaked and adjusted tranny at no charge. I then proceeded to put 4,000 miles on my car in 6 weeks (normal is about 500 miles a month). She ran beautifully. 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.
Description of Work
rebuilt transmission, replaced four tires, 3000 mile service (oil change, filter, tune up, lube, etc), changed belts, checked hoses, checked brakes, discussed scheduling a/c repair costs and other optional repairs.
