Gearheads Transmission And Complete Auto Repair, Van Nuys CA

I highly recommend Gearheads! I was stranded on the 405 after my car started to overheat and AAA brought me to this location. After a really stressful few hours, I was grateful for Israel and the rest of Gearheads staff for taking care of my car. Israel (owner) was able to assist me quickly and he was able to explain everything to me in great detail in a professional and clear manner. I also liked that they provided me a text message with a report of the full diagnostic. I appreciate how Israel was clear about pricing and checking in with me before he did anything to my car to ensure I was okay with it. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends and family.

Update 1/27/23. Still the best mechanic I have ever been to. They are honest, fair, and great at what they do.

I highly recommend using gearheads. They rebuilt my transmission and did a great job. I worked with Israel and he was very kind, easy to work with, and offered me solutions for my financial hardships. Everyone I spoke with her was very nice. This was overall a very positive experience.

Gearheads saved my a&$!
Israel is a true professional. When my car died on the 101 on a Sunday night, his shop was one of the very few accepting after hours drop offs. Not only did he then fix the issue in about 24 hours, he matched a lower price AND fixed another glitch he found FOR FREE. He saved me when I was in a tough spot and def gained a new customer.

My motor was blown. They were kind enough to remind me I may have a warranty on my engine. I do. They saved me 8200. I will bring my card here from now on. Honest, caring people.

Go to place to service my nissan and jeep.
Israel and his crew do a wonderful job everytime.

I have a vehicle I was having a hard time smogging, and I took it to Isreal and let him do his thing, instead of telling him what was wrong! Finally passed smog.he is honest and easy to talk to I highly recommend this establishment, he has been my choice for 3-4 years now

Needed a new transmission, and GearHeads did an amazing job! Car runs like new! Will definitely be back if I need any other services! Thanks again so much!:)

I just realized I never gave a review of my repairs done back in September 2021. I may need more service and that's when I realized I didn't review they are excellent and worth going to. When you find a good mechanic you gotta stick to one and that's why I'm going back to get some engine work done. I'm expecting the same satisfaction.

I have had a very bad experience at gearheads with Tyler. Carlos is the certified mechanic but hes not available at the shop most of the time if I were you I would investigate their credibility

I received a quote for replacing the valve cover gasket on my car. I made an appointment and brought my car in. The work was done professionally and timely. I will use them again when my car needs servicing.

The guys here are amazing. Super helpful and give great advice. They turned my car around super quickly and did w everything I asked for and more at a reasonable rate. Would 10/10 recommend them

As usual, Tyler was fantastic! The entire team at Gearheads is (and always has been) top-notch!

You want honest mechanic
Go here.
We all have to check out places ourselves, so, got check 'em out
You'll b happy you did

It’s so refreshing to be able to bring your vehicle somewhere and not feel like a total burden! The team was super attentive and worked directly with our extended warranty provider to get us back on the road as quickly as possible. Great communication and super thorough work! I’ve starred Gearheads for future use! (Not that I hope to NEED work done on my car) highly recommend!

I had a 2018 brand new Honda Civic with a clutch problem and I called several places but I couldn't find honest and professional auto shop or dealership. I was looking for a mechanic who cares about cars and had a passion for his work. And I found a genuine mechanic and professional auto shop on Victory Blvd.in Van Nuys and the shop is Gearheads. Mr. Israel Villavicencio is the owner of Gearheads. It's always hard to find a truthful and humble auto shop owner in my experience. Israel was concerned about my car and treated me with equality and respect. I felt that he was very honest and knowledgeable about the issues of my car.   He was willing to work with me and find a solution within my budget. Expertise without honesty is faulty.   How to be professional and humble with pride, it's not too hard and you will see when you visit Gearheads.

They were willing to take me in same day and provide me with detailed information about repair on my van. Great attitude and willing to work and help! I was very satisfied with their customer service! Two thumbs up!
