My Husband & I took my car because the Exel broke while I was driving our kids to school.(Scary could have Bern tragic) Long story short Allen spoke to my husband and Insurance Company. He was fast at his job I was thinking I was going to take two weeks rental etc- WRONG-! he was practically finished with my vehicle in about 3 days not only did he order my parts replaced them he got me Two Tires, rotated them alignment & oil changed. Highly recommend this place. He saved me rental money and put that cash to greater use. Invested on the above mentioned. I found my new place to get stuff done for my vehicle. Thank you for your professionalism & fast service. Could not ask for Better Outcome.

Went to Cranks Auto Repair to check my brakes which were making grinding sounds. Alen explained to me that the front brake pads and rotor needed to be replaced. He quoted a fair price and I authorized the work. I got my car back at 4pm and the brakes work great. I feel very safe driving now.Ill be taking my wifes car in next for a tune-up. I plan on using Cranks Auto Repair for all my future repairs to our two cars.

I was on the road trip with a schedule to keep and my family in the car when my car began to show some warning sign that I was not familiar with. I must have gone to 3 other mechanics, and no one would see me. They all wanted me to come back the next day. This auto repair shop was the only one that saw me. I believe it was Alen who checked my car and told me that it was the traction control light and what to do about it(he did not charge me). He was God send. I was able to complete my trip up north with my family and follow his car repair recommendations. This was back in June 2022, and we are in the year 2024, but I still remember his kindness every now and then.

I had a breakdown up the road, and this was the closest mechanic. My car isnt something they typically work on, but out of the kindness of their heart, they let me bring it in. They had a lot full of cars and were literally putting an engine in when I limped in.The time and the care they took to look into my vehicle and get it road ready was nothing short of incredible. I cannot recommend Cranks Auto Repair enough!

Thorough, fair pricing. Trustworthy and great follow-up. They seem to take great pride in their work and it’s obviously important to them that their customers are satisfied.We had a small issue that required follow-up.The owner drove to my home to make everything right.I’m impressed

There arent enough stars to give to Cranks. They are a small but mighty auto shop. They can handle any repair and they really value their customers. They dont try to upsell you and they do not pressure. I travel a greater distance than shops much closer to me because I trust them. They are now my go-to auto repair shop for everything. 5+ stars!

Great, prompt, and absolutely professional services.Alan is the only mechanic around here who is trustworthy and knows exactly what he is talking about. I know that my car is in good hands when I leave it at Cranks Auto Repair.

This place is so great! I was worried when my check engine light came on that it was something serious and expensive to fix. Alen explained everything to me and it ended up being something kind of serious but not so expensive to fix. He’s extremely fair and doesn’t overcharge. I was pleased with what I paid. It was a very different experience than I’ve had before at places. I highly recommend his shop. I’ll be doing my oil changes and maintenance here from now on. Long live my Mini. :D

Great experience overall. Spoke with Alen and he told me to come in the next morning. His quote was around 30% less than what I was quoted for other places, he took the car and within a few hours, he called me to come pick it up. Work was done professionally and at a very fair price. Will definitely return for my future neds.

One of the biggest reasons I hated fixing my car was because of mechanics! They try to screw you over....until I met Alen. He was so nice and honest. I will forever come to his shop. He has a lifetime customer and I will have my family go there as well! I always get nervous going to shops but he made my car brand new again!

Best auto shop in San Fernando valley!! Alan and his partner serg made sure my car was in good care and had the best quality parts. I Can’t thank them enough for removing the stress I had. If you need professionals, you go to them!

Let me just start off by saying that Allen and Serge (Hope I am spelling it right lol) are the most knowledgeable, kind, and helpful humans I have had the pleasure of meeting.Usually, when you take your car to a mechanic, the last thing you expect is compassion and empathy. I have a 2015 Ghibli and not very many shops like to work on Maseratis. I have taken my car to Cranks on multiple occasions for different issues and Allen took my car in with no questions asked.Recently, he replaced my AC compressor and got my AC to blow ice-cold air. He fixed the car within a day and the price he gave me for parts and labor was BEYOND reasonable. He has been so helpful, and always checks in to make sure everything is good with my vehicle.These guys have really taken the anxiety out of me dealing with my car issues. I really thought I would never say this but, I think I finally found my forever shop lol. If youre looking to be pleasantly surprised with the shop experience, make sure to visit this place!

I first found this shop looking for a budget friendly repair on my bumper and then it became my to go to place for advice, annual services, part replacement etc... Fair prices, friendly staff and timely service. I am satisfied with the service I have received. If youre looking for a lifetime body shop to relay on, I would recommend to check out this place!

I brought my car in recently and it needed a lot of work. Alen and his team were very professional and honest. He basically treated my car like his own, fixed everything, told me all the prices before hand. Car runs like new. Very Happy!! Thank you Alen & Team!

Great place highly recommend! Very Honest and reasonable.I needed an emergency weekend mechanic to fix my brakes and rotors for my road trip on Monday they were the only place opened on Saturday that would see me last minute. Alen, the Manager there was great! Gave me different performance option based on my budget and and an over estimate upfront Took my car in and within a couple hours I was good as new. I even paid a little less than I expected. Ill definitely be coming back to get my other brakes replaced.

This is a great auto repair shop. They don’t try to upsell you and their pricing is fair. Friendly customer service and on time. I have been to a lot of different mechanics and this one by far is the best.

I came in because my car was overheating, Alen took a look under the hood and knew right away what the problem was. After replacing my leaking water pump, within 24 hours I was good to go. Alen was excellent to work with and I look forward to coming here again for all of my car’s needs. A+ business highly recommend!

I have been going to Crank’s since they first opened. They are the absolute best! Their prices are fair and reasonable. Whether it be for a minor oil change or a major repair (they have done both for me), they will take excellent care if you and your family. I recently had them replace my transmission and they did an excellent job. Alen will take great care of you and make you feel like family. I give them my highest recommendation!

Cranks auto repair is amazing! They take really great care of their customers and I would be more than happy to go to them again. Alan checked in with me every step of the way and listened to my concerns and answered all my questions promptly - I would not hesitate to use them again :) cannot recommend them enough!

After reading many positive reviews on Yelp about the great service at Crank’s Auto Repair, I decided to go talk to them about having work done that had been recommended by another shop. After test-driving and diagnosing my 2004 Camry’s condition, Alen recommended instead that I have him replace my car’s head gasket. He also did a complete check-up of my car and topped off all the fluids. His final charge was only $220, which was $50 less than the $270 estimate he quoted! If you’re looking for a great mechanic you can really trust, Alen will save you a lot of money and hassle. Now I know firsthand why Crank’s Auto Repair gets such great reviews! They do great work!

Mohammad is exactly the honest hard-working man archetype! He fixed my brothers struts and did an excellent job and also in timely manner. The prices are also very reasonable and more than anything, you can tell Mohammad is proud of his work and hes trying to do a good job. Overall, great place to get your car serviced or repaired. I highly recommend this place!

Excellent service and very professional experienced technicians. I brought my car in for 100k mile service and Alan did the service for hundreds of dollars less than the dealership and without having to be without my car for the entire day. These guys were fast and completed the service in under an hour. I definitely will be back again.

So look no further once you go you will never take your car anywhere else.

I got my nephews car fixed here and they did an excellent job. The car engine kept cutting off, so we were worried that it was a transmission issue. However, Mohammad was able to troubleshoot the problem and we didnt have to spend a lot of money on replacing the transmission! Hes a very honest guy and does a great job!

Cranks Auto Repair has made a customer for life. Quality, professionalism, value, and INTEGRITY. I can’t imagine bringing my cars anywhere else, ever. I have been bringing my BMW’s to Cranks for the past few years. They have always been honest, thorough, timely, and with all that, the best VALUE. Stop reading reviews and take your car to these guys!

I would NOT recommend. I only came in for an oil change but the mechanic performed other services I didn’t even ask for. Then when I came to pick it up he had already charged me for the extra service upon arrival without consulting me first, AND lied to me about the price for a simple oil change that he had originally told me on the phone. I tried to express my discomfort with this. But he only offered to undue the extra service that was already too late to do so with, and claimed that he was trying to be a gentleman by doing extra for me. I’m pretty sure he just pulled a price out of the air, then knocked off $20 just to try to convince me I was getting a good deal, because when I asked to see a more official outline or proof of more solidly set prices and the breakdown, he didn’t have one. I chose just to bite the bullet since it was already too late to have a turnover, as mentioned, but I think I definitely got scammed.

Great place, great crew. I called in because I blew a fuse and was not trying to run all the way across town to buy something so minimal when my time was limited. I called these fine folks, and they kindly offered to find me one. I drove over, they took my blown fuse, found me a new one and sent me on my merry way without even charging anything. Next time I need anything done to my mercedes, I will definitely be taking it here.

I get gas the shell station and noticed they have a shop and have a sign that say free scan for check engine lights. I needed breaks and they change $80 plus the cost of parts. After they were done I needed o2 Sensor to pass smog. Allen said he would do it for $80. I bought the o2 sensor from auto zone. Dont do that cause the after market ones sometimes dont work. That $80 job turned into &220 cause it took him so long. Paid him drove 60miles the light came back on. He said now its my fan $ 120 and he said my o2 sensor is working but its the fan now...Drove 60 miles light comes back on. Came back him and his friend that works there said its my catalytic converter and said that would be $1000 so I drive for Uber and the took all week to make that money. I decided to take the car to the dealership they said it was my o2 sensor bank one up stream, the original problem. They fixed everything in one hour for $140. I passed smog later that same day.
