I would recommend this place to everyone. Factory trained technicians with the latest and greatest tools and equipment but also the knowledge and know-how to fix older cars. Brought my wife's Audi in with electrical issues or what I thought was electrical issues. Turned out to be a something that if I neglected would have destroyed my car, and they had the know how to fix the problem at a reasonable cost.They also repaired my vehicle since it failed smog and after i got it back, it ran better than i could have imagined.They also do alignment, electrical, drivetrain, and engine repairs.

This guy David is a crook looking to profit off others misfortune. I took my car here after my cat was stolen and this guy sat on my car for weeks every day I would go by and ask if he inspected it and if he sent the report to insurance and nothing for weeks when he finally did send a report without inspecting it he lazily told my insurance that the whole engine was broken even though I had been driving it and drove it up to his shop. After that he tried to bill me 4700$ in storage fees for the 2 weeks car was there obviously didn't tell me about any storage fees when I brought the car in. This dude is a crook and was no help to my situation he sat on the car doing nothing while I was out of work ultimately loosing my job. Hopefully this saves someone else the headache and they choose any other mechanic I can't imagine anyone is worse than this crook

I called the number provided on Yelp to inquire about a smog check. A lady answered and told me they were open. I went in person only to be greeted by closed doors and a jam packed garage full of cars. How are customers supposed to even get in there with their vehicles? Wasted my time and lied to me. F*** this place. Plenty of other smog check places to get your smog done.

Me and my brother drove out to the area to buy a car which we thought was decent. After test driving it and talking we didn't find any major concerns and bought it. Then, as soon as we hopped on the freeway back home, the car started to overheat and we couldn't make it back. I took it to the nearest auto repair shop which was Mads for an inspection and he told me my radiator was broken and needed a new one. Taking a gamble on this place without looking for reviews or anything, they gave me a fair price and fixed it a few hours later. The car was running like a champ!! The owner was a very funny and kind guy along with his wife. I got quality work for a decent price. Drove the car back home (1 hour away) with 0 issues and no overheating problems. Thank you MADS auto repair you guys literally saved my life!

Took my 09 Jag XF because battery would drain overnight. He charged me $150 for diagnostics and, two days later, told me it would cost $4500 to repair. I took the car to another shop to get a second opinion. They showed me that my existing battery had a leak and was not holding the charge. they replaced the battery, charged me $200 for the battery and diagnosis. Car is running perfectly ever since. Called him to ask for money back, he accused the other shop of lying, and refused to return my $150. Warren Steinman

Highly recommend this place! I was in need of a smog shop near by to take care of my car smog certificate, the owner took care of me as soon as I arrived. The owner and his wife are an elder couple and they're working really hard and it made me happy to give them my business! I wouldn't hesitate to comeback next time.

My tires were low and the owner filled them without attitude and I offered to pay and he said no. Point is that is true customer service

MADS took care of my wife's Toyota Camry well into its 14 year. We replaced that car with 2015 Altima which he has also serviced. My car is 2004 350Z and Dave has provided honest and timely service over the lifetime of my beloved Z Last week we were having our house fumigated and when the tenting crew arrived it was time for us to leave, except the Altima wouldn't start. We had our Auto Club jump it and realized the battery had expired almost exactly to its 3 years guarantee. With our Sam's Club now closed, we went to Costco,where we learned they only sell batteries, they don't install them. Its 7.30 am on a Wednesday. We called MADS, took the car over and then had to force them to take some payment for the work,which given the fact that the battery was leaking, was no simple job. Dave has fixed my car when I had deadlines working over the weekend to get it done. Dave and his wife represent what everyone hopes for in car repair. When your car breaks, its always a moment of some anxiety. Having a honest neighborhood auto repair service is pretty rare today. So take your car to MADS, you'll then be a customer forever

David does fantastic work! I have brought my 2000 4Runner to him for brakes, smog checks, and most recently a whole bunch of stuff including digging deep into the engine and fixing up my transmission. Amazing! He took the time to clean up my engine bay, incluing the battery, and he even fixed an irregular electrical problem. Now my rig is ready for another 250,000 miles! Bringing my wife's Corolla in on Monday for a brake job. I'm a Mad's customer for life!

They will replace parts, but don't expect a thorough exam of the vehicle. The owner is an Asian immigrant, and my girlfriend couldn't understand him. He seemed like he was yelling everything. My vehicle broke down 3 days after his repair and we took our truck to Smith Brothers in Sunland.
