Ac and heating repair service near Van Nuys, CA

I am new to the area so I relied on Yelp and Google ratings to help me find Hank's Tire. It's an "old school" place - been in business since the 50's and it is second generation family owned - a gem of a find. They educated me, didn't pressure me and made me and my car much happier. Thank you guys!

General auto repair.

I thank my lucky stars for this place!! For as long as I've been taking my car to the team here, which is about 6 years now (this was previously a Nappa, with the same team), I have always been listened to genuinely and given considered, expert recommendations for my old car. It's thanks to them that it keeps on going!! Managers Albert, Mitch and the mechanics are top notch, friendly and so helpful! They take the time to listen and explain. At first, having just moved to LA, I used to cross-check their recommendations with a friend who owns a repair shop back where I used to live. Every time, he agreed with the basis for their assessment, plan of action, and price. As an example of their honesty, there was one type of repair that, for the type of car I have, is apparently best done by the dealership, and they told me that up front, rather than just doing the repair themselves without telling me and leaving me with the chance that the car may not work as it should. They have never been pushy and they help me prioritize what needs to be done and what can wait. They have sometimes gone out of their way to help me. The friendliness and reliability with which I'm treated here makes this Napa shop a valuable part of my sense of community here in Hollywood. I'm so grateful to have them and couldn't recommend them more highly! Janet Caper

Great service! I was given a detailed understanding of the issue my vehicle was experiencing. With my small budget incapable of undergoing all needed repairs, they made it work. Even better - under what I could spend :) This is a quick, clean, professional, and understanding location of which I highly recommend. Chris Curtis

We went through 3 different mechanics including the Mercedes Service Department before going to Gold Star. Mike diagnosed the problem with no charge, and his findings were very accurate. We had spend close to $2000 fixing what wasn't even the issue, even Mercedes charging us 280 for diagnosis still couldn't fix the issue. I am so happy and grateful to Mike, he was so generous, professional, experienced, and courteous, we've finally found an honest and extremely experienced mechanic. I will recommend Gold Star to all my friends and family. I rate Gold Star a 10!!!!!!!

We recently discovered Mike Bradley's Automotive thru their new owner, Tim Bohle. Our daughter’s car broke down and Tim was accommodating and assisted us with all our needs even thru our busy schedule. They were upfront with all the costs and even let us know what needed to be done now and what could wait. It’s hard to find a mechanic that is trustworthy and reliable and we feel like Mike Bradley’s has reached that expectation.

Got auto a/c issues? Don't mess around and see Morgan at Advanced Auto Air & Electric. It's now June 2011 and I have been suffering in the heat since November 2010 when my a/c went out in my 2002 Chevy Astro Van. Why did it take me so long to get it repaired? Two top-rated & popular autoshops that I have been frequenting both quoted me around $900 to do the job. After saving the money I was finally ready to get it done. I happened to be getting new tires at Tires By Mark and asked the new guy if he knew of a good a/c mechanic. He recommended Morgan. My story has a happy ending. Morgan discovered it just needed some more refrigerant, some oil in the system and he also replaced a broken plastic bracket that would have eventually worn a hole in my back system's a/c line. He did all this for $126.86 out the door. The other guys talked about replacing the entire system and having to keep my van overnight. Advanced Auto Air & Electric's office is located inside the AirMec Building on the west side of Canoga, just south of Devonshire. It's sort of hidden. Morgan's crew also does repairs on alternators, computer diagnostic, complete wiring, batteries, power windows, ignition, power door locks, lighting and starters. He said they don't have a website so the least I can do for him is write him a glowing review. I am firing my other mechanics by the way.
