Our story
We're a family-style auto shop in Van Nuys where the diagnosis comes before the sales pitch. Customers come to us specifically because dealership service departments kept trying to upsell them, and we don't operate that way.
Whether it's a flat tire on your way out of town or a radiator that needs replacing the same day, our mechanics, led by Ben, get it fixed fast and explain what's actually wrong with your car. Jasmine keeps the office running just as smoothly.
Most of our customers find us through a referral from someone we've already helped. We'd rather earn your business with a fair price and straight answers than a flashy waiting room.
What customers say
“They're professional and very honest doing most services you need for your car. Excellent service and good price.”
“Balboa Car Care has the most knowledgeable mechanics. They don't upsell and will do everything to fix your car. It's hard to find an honest car mechanic, but here that won't be a problem. They are honest. Thanks to Ben. Jasmine, who works at the office is also very helpful.”
“I came here on a flat tire, staff was very helpful. They didn't have the tire size I needed, but they ordered it and was there within 20 minutes. Service was fast and checkout was easy. Price for the new tire was great, overall excellent service.”
