Very dependable and honest. Good prices, great work. Auto service has always been a stress point for us - you never know whom you can trust, but I read other positive Angie's List reports about Glendale Automotive and decided to give them a try. They were great, not stressful at all!
Description of Work: Repaired exhaust system and installed 4 new tires.

I called around several places and Glendale Automotive had a middle to high price on the work. I told Fred the other prices and he told me the positives and negatives of his and the other quotes. He then took his price down a little bit to be in the middle and I accepted. I took the car in dropped it off and Fred took me to work(about two miles away.) Car was finished on time and as quoted price wise. I would highly recommend Glendale Automotive.
Description of Work: I had a left front wheel bearing replaced on a 93 Saturn.

This trip was quick and convenient, as easy as an oil change should be. They did exactly what I asked and didn't suggest extra work. Very pleasant representative over the phone and in person. They told me they would start on my car right away and 5 minutes later my car was in the garage. I appreciated them treating me like a valued customer even though it was just a simple oil change.
Description of Work: Oil change with synthetic oil and tires rotated.

Fred did an outstanding job on our automobiles and honored the price quotes on both jobs. He's very courteous and knows his stuff when it comes to cars. It took him longer than expected to finish the rear main seal job so he went the extra mile and rented a car for me for 1/2 day. Fred even came to my home to pick me up and take me to the car rental site. I would recommend them to anyone who wants honesty, good work and peace of mind on their auto maintenance and repairs.
Description of Work: 2 jobs - replaced disk pads, cleaned and lubricated brake calipers and slide mechanisms, bled air from system, checked and refilled brake fluid, removed and replaced alternator brake drive on an Acura TL. $197.21 Second job - Replaced rear main seal and front transmission pump seal, removed and replaced crankshaft oil seal on a Toyota Sienna XLE. $541.85

It is very refreshing in this day & age when one can find a mechanic who is honest and sincere. One that doesn't try to cheat & over charge. I will definitely be using this company for all my further vehicle maintenance. I recommend him whole heartedly.
Description of Work: My vehicle would start & run for a whole and when shut off, it wouldn't restart. This happened sporadically. Discovering the cause was very difficult. The vehicle was kept over the weekend & tested repeatedly until the cause was found. Once the cause was found it was promptly repaired. I appreciate the "stick to it ness" & diligence of the mechanics. The starter was replaced.

Fred and all at Glendale are wonderful. Responsive, fair on price and the work quality is high. Great at keeping in communication about price, time and nature of repairs. They are always willing to do whatever to get me back driving as soon as possible and take great care of an old but good car (Nissan Pathfinder). They take care to make sure the car in general is running safely and soundly each time I take it in. I highly recommend them for any and all work and won't let anyone else touch my car. They have many loyal customers so I do recommend making appointments - they are extremely punctual when appointments are made.
Description of Work: Glendale has done several different repairs on my car including transmission clutch replacement, new shocks and struts, new exhaust system and diagnosing and replacing a faulty fan clutch.

I was extremely pleased. The service was friendly and honest, with a personal touch. I will definitely take my car there again.
Description of Work: I took it in for a problem with my blower motor on my heater. Originally it appeared that my blower motor would need to be replaced. A repair costing over $200. Instead, they determined that some computer codes needed to be reset. This minimal repair has my heater working in perfect order. Needless to say I am delighted!

They did a good job. I had them look at some other issues with the car and they suggested not making those repairs at this time, as the issues were very minor. I always have more faith in someone if they tell me NOT to spend more money with them.

Very friendly when scheduling times. Dropped off car the night before. They called early the next morning and had completed much of the work, and had a few more questions. They were going to call back after diagnosing. Call back never happened. I called them the next day. They apologized for the inconvenience and gave me 10% off. That was nice, but really a prompt callback would have been better, and I would have happily paid full price.

Wonderful experience. Very honest and prompt. They honored a coupon even though it was a misprint from the coupon company. They did not try to oversell us on repairs, and they were very straightforward about telling us that we needed to see a Mitsubishi dealer to deal with the transmission light that is coming on.

CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT WE SELECTED GLENDALE AUTOMOTIVE BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN HONORED WITH ANGIE'S LIST TOP SERVICE AWARDS, WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SERVICE WE RECEIVED. OUR CAR WAS TOWED ON A THURSDAY MORNING, AND WE DID NOT GET IT BACK UNTIL THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY. THE REPAIR WAS MINOR. WE REPEATEDLY HAD TO CALL DURING THIS TIME TO FIND OUT THE REPAIR'S STATUS. THEREFORE, WE FELT OUR REPAIR WAS NOT A PRIORITY; AND WE RECEIVED NO APOLOGY FOR HOW WE WERE INCONVENIENCED WHEN WE PICKED UP OUR VEHICLE.
Description of Work: CAR HAD TO BE TOWED IN. IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER HAD TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED.

THE OWNER CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THAT IT APPEARED I HAD JUST RAN OUT OF GAS. I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE CASE, BUT AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER THOUGHT IT WAS RUNNING FUNNY. THE OWNER FROM GLENDALE CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW. HE WAS REALLY NICE ABOUT IT AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME MUCH AT ALL. I REALLY APPRECIATED HIS HELP. I FELT REALLY STUPID, BUT HE TOLD ME THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN IN FACT IT WAS JUST THAT I RAN OUT OF GAS.

FRED WAS FANTASTIC. HE WORKED US INTO HIS SCHEDULE AND COMPLETED THE WORK IN ONE DAY. WE HAD A FUNERAL TO ATTEND OUT OF TOWN AND OUR VEHICLE WAS READY SOONER THAN EXPECTED. HE REMINDED US TO BRING OUR ANGIE'S LIST COUPON AND EVEN PERSONALLY GUARANTEED THE PART FOR AN EXTRA YEAR. GLENDALE AUTOMOTIVE IS NEARLY 40 MINUTES FROM OUR HOME, BUT IS WORTH THE DRIVE ANYTIME. THANK YOU FRED AND STAFF.

I WAS VERY PLEASED AND IMPRESSED THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM. OTHER PLACES I'VE BEEN TO IN THE PAST HAVE JUST CHARGED LOTS OF MONEY AND NOTHING WAS FIXED. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. THEY HAD THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT AND EXPERTISE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND FIXED IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. THEY HAD SOME TROUBLE GETTING THE WORK DONE BY THE TIME I NEEDED MY CAR, BUT THEY MADE EVERY EFFORT TO DO SO AND I WAS STILL ABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR WHICH I NEEDED MY CAR THAT AFTERNOON.
Description of Work: MY CAR WAS STALLING AND ANOTHER SHOP WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. GLENDALE AUTOMOTIVE FOUND THE PROBLEM, FIXED IT, AND MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT SINCE (NOW 2 WEEKS AGO). WORK DONE: ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS, REPLACE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND AIR FILTER, FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM TUNE-UP.
