honest shop for repairs

by boowhotoo

I finally found a mechanic that I can recommend knowing that you and your car are in good hands..

Honest and reliable, Super Automotive in North Hollhywood is the shop! it is family owned and that is exactly how I was treated....like family.

Robby and his father along with a staff of great mechanics renewed my faith.

Sure there are other shops closer to my house but the peace of mind make the drive worth it.

Thank you Robby and Super Automotive!!!

Gratefully,

Joy

• Pros: integrity, fair prices

Honest, Fair, Fast Service

by jackybowman

Ive been taking my car to super automotive for years, shaun has always been fair with me and is alot cheaper then other places. He always shows me my old parts and takes time to explain what the problem was. He is not only a great mechanic but also a great person! If your looking for a new mechanic this is the place to take your car.

• Pros: Same day service
• Cons: sometimes busy

A Real Honest Auto Mechanic. Really

by icecreammn

These guys have taken care of me over the years. I started brining my '86 Camry to them 5 years ago, and though I sold it, I've been bringing my '82 BMW and Jeep Liberty to them exclusively. Sean's son Robbie has since become involved in the day to day operations, but he takes after his dad's honesty and no-bullsh*ting. As solid a business, and a work ethic, as you're likely to find anywhere.

• Pros: Great service, knowledgable, and HONEST for god's sake
• Cons: not much parking out front, but who cares right?

5 stars?? maybe out of 100!!

by taipeileviathan

I don't understand how people can give these guys a 5 star rating. I might be wrong, their experiences might really have been great, but my suspicion is that it's because the folks who are happy with Super Automotive really are just used to being ripped off at dealers and are thus happy with their prices but aren't all that discerning with the quality of work done. I mean, they are much cheaper than shops you'd find in Hollywood or on the West Side, but if you're willing to drive just a bit further into the valley there are FAR better shops that do better work for lower prices.

These guys are probably the absolute worst body shop guys I've ever met. I'm not saying that you always get what you pay for, cuz you can find great deals around town sometimes, but don't be tempted by their low-ish quotes cuz the job they end up doing is just horrible. Shaun is the slimiest scumbag when it comes to negotiating prices, they take far longer than the amount of time they quote to get stuff done, and in the end their paint jobs are the most amateurish efforts I've ever seen. My girlfriend and I happened to both take our cars here without knowing that the other had until a few weeks ago when I was looking at her lame paint job and regretting my own. Not only are both our paints poorly matched (when we took delivery of our cars they'd told both of us to not wash the car for a week and now in direct sunlight the colors are obviously and exceedingly off) but the level of sheen is far duller than the original paint and there is this sorta micro-bumpy texture, like its been subtly sand-blasted, as if all they did was spray paint our cars and then called it a day. I don't think I'd have been satisfied with this paint job even if I was color-blind cuz the dullness is really obvious as is the difference in brightness of color. I don't think I'd have been satisfied even if I was blind, because that sand-blasted texture is something you can feel clearly with your fingers.

If there's one review I've posted that I'd recommend you take into serious consideration, it'd be this one, because paint jobs are far too valuable to take a risk on. If you want my recommendation for a great body shop, see my profile on yelp...

• Pros: they make you think they're trustworthy.
• Cons: they're really actually very untrustworthy.

Great Service, Great People

by MrJim

I decided to take my 1999 Solara to this shop after doing some research online. Shaun and Ravi were very kind and left me feeling like I was encountering a rare find...Honest Mechanics! I originally took my car in to have my shocks done. I was about $20 short in the cash I had on me at the moment but they offered to do the job anyway, I think his exact words were "we're not gonna hold you hostage for 20 bucks". I have returned since for oil changes, a tune up, and more. This is a wonderful shop and I will be stopping by to drop off a case of Corona as a thank you for their wonderful service!

• Pros: Prices, Service, Quality
• Cons: none that I can think of

Helpful, Affordable, Honest

by mtrdavis

I took my Toyota Camry to the dealer and they told me I needed about $1500 in repairs. I called Super European Automotive and told them what repairs the dealer suggested and they were not only able to get me in on the same day, they were less than a third of the price (even including some additional work that had been recommended to me at an earlier visit to the dealer). I won't go back to the dealer but I will go to Super European Automotive. I highly recommend them! Shaun the manager is very friendly and helpful.

Shaun gets it done

by Gillios

I've been taking my car to Shaun for a couple of years now for regular minor maintenance. Recently, I was rear-ended and had some more significant work for him to do. His reputation for exceptional customer service is well-deserved. The repairs got done quickly, and the car looks brand new. He even went to the trouble of having the interior detailed. My car has never looked better. I'm completely happy with the work that was done and will continue to recommend this shop to all my friends.

• Pros: service, price, honesty
• Cons: none

Good, honest, personal service

by originalgoat

Shaun has given me great service on three occasions. He always shows me the old parts, and explains what the problem was. His prices are good, and his personable approach is very refreshing. He respects his customers, and earns their respect (and repeat business!). 5 stars!

Quick and friendly service

by aaronthompson

I had a radiator leak and they fixed it really quick. The price was fair, but their attention to detail was awesome. It saved me about another 300.00 dollars compared to going to BMW dealership.

Thanks and keep up the great job!

• Pros: easy to find, quck turn around time
• Cons: no snacks to eat at shop as I waited for the car to get fixed

Great Work, Fantastic Price

by StudioCityResident

I have always had my work done at the BMW dealer on my 2001 X5. Every time I left the dealer's service department, I was ticked off at the price. Never trusting what they were actually telling me. A friend of mine told me about Shaun at Super Automotive. Prior to taking the car into Shaun, I was ready to trade it in for a new car. Now that I have had all the work I needed to be done, it actually feels like I am driving a new car. I can't believe it. I actually saved approximately $3000 over the quote from the BMW dealer's service department. Shaun let me come in before the work was done and showed me what the problems were and explained why some things were mandatory repairs and other items did not need to be repaired. Shaun is very trustworthy (when is the last time you heard that about a car repair shop), does great work, and the price is unbeatable. All I can say is thanks for a great job Shaun.

• Pros: all
• Cons: none
