Studio City Auto Repair

I'm happy I came here today! They were very honest and showed me what needed to be fixed on my car. They did a great job for a very reasonable price! Definitely recommend it ;)

These guys were wonderful. I came in for a smog check and a brake light replacement. My car was past the age limit for his testing machine so he gave me a couple of other options down the street. However, he did offer to replace the brake light right then and there so I wouldn't have to wait any longer. When I went to pay for the labor, he said, "You're good to go. It's our pleasure." No money out of my pocket. He didn't have to do this. He could have just sent me on my way to get my smog check. I have a lot of respect for businesses that go above and beyond to make the customer happy. I'll definitely be coming back and sending my friends.

I've been taking my car here since I moved to the area about 3 years ago, and I've kept meaning to write a review but haven't until now! These guys are great - they are honest and reliable, which I definitely look for in a mechanic. Being a girl, I know in the past that some mechanics have tried to take advantage of my limited car knowledge. The guys here take the time to show me what is wrong and what they are doing (though I may not 100% understand it). They are willing to work with me on prices (parts wise) and will tell me if some part that I will eventually need can maybe wait a month or two, which I appreciate. I've never felt like they are trying to oversell me on anything. In fact, a few times I've brought my car in because it was making a noise, or the check engine light popped on quickly, and they've taken a look (and even kept it overnight), and sometimes all it came down to was tightening a screw to fix the problem, which they did at no charge. I do agree with a few other reviewers who say they are a little pricey, which I've found to be true. However, their customer service and honesty to me is totally worth it.

This, from my husband: "I've looked long and hard for a reputable mechanic: I've owned BMWs and recently, having had electrical problems with my 2000 Eldorado ETC, I felt less than optimistic about finding a mechanic who could both do the work needed for a price that would not 'break the bank'. My wife, who combs Angie's List for exceptional values regularly, found Funk Brothers in Hollywood. I read very positive reviews and went to them, directly. Not only was I surprised by their openness, I was even more than relieved to hear their operations manager, Hovig, who provided me with 'minimum' requirements and/or more extensive repair options. NO ONE has ever been more open and so candid with me, ever, regarding the extent and detail of ANY car repairs I've had in over four decades of dealing with automotive maintenance. ~To be succinct, Funk Brothers will be the ONLY mechanic I will ever deal with here in Los Angeles.... No one even comes close! Price, service and complete disclosure, both before, during and after service is/was completely transparent: Needless to say, such 'old school' values are beyond hard to come by! No hidden charges.... No surprises, just kind and most competent people who care, respectfully, about YOU, the customer. Never once have I encountered any sour or 'bad attitude' from these folks, just very complete customer service at prices that rival ANYONE else... Drive by their lot on La Brea.... They are always PACKED with cars of all makes and models... That alone speaks volumes about both their service and the excellent results that they provide. Bar none, Funk Brothers is the best value for virtually any kind of car, body, electrical and mechanical."

These guys rock! Came in for a smog check and if you ever need one this should be your #1 top choice. Super quick fast promt professional and super chill to top it off. I'm sure the owner was the one who helped me and big shot out to Hovic. Funny story so a cordless was left in my car. I didn't notice it till a fews hours driving around. I was like WTH? Where the heck did that come from? I thought is was this restaurant that left it with the food in the togo bag. So right after I drove back to the restaurant And totally got looked at weird for saying they left their phone in my food lol I get a funny message of the smog shop and bingo that's where the mystery phone belongs to.

Excellent service. Easiest smog check I've ever gone through. Friendly and to the point.

My window was stuck & it started pouring rain .... It's about 5:30 I just got out of the office and everyone is closing up. I pass by around 5:49 and these guys are getting ready to close up shop , I tell them what was going on & bada bing bada boom they fix it for free ( WHAT ). I called several places prior asking for estimates and I got $45. Really $45 just to help me lift my window up for the night ? Anyways , this place just made an awesome first impression & i appreciate it ! I will def be back :) thanks guys !

We aren't from this area, and have a wonderful mechanic back home, so we were very skeptical to bring our van to a new shop when our brakes went completely out. We checked out the Yelp reviews and checked out their website, everything seemed legit. When we arrived they were super busy. We were told they would call us later that day when they determined the problem. We got a call about an hour later--it turned out to be our master cylinder. They ordered a new one and said our van was supposed to be ready the next morning. We got notice later that same afternoon that our van was ready to go! The price was reasonable and the timing was amazing! We are very happy with Funk Brothers!!

5th or 6th visit here in a decade - they do it right, every single time. Just cannot say enough great things about Hovig and his crew!

I'm originally a New Yorker - so inherently don't trust anyone. These guys are for real and top notch. Over the last 3 months I've had my brake rotors replaced, alternator replaced, some hoses, oil changed and today my oxygen sensors. (I have a '97 Toyota 4Runner) Each time I've secretly called Pep Boys other shops to see prices - and they are always either lower or comparable. (Maybe $10-15 more - but usually because they are using original parts where they can) They have great workmanship and beyond that they set the right expectations to the customer. They give you options and possible outcomes. They say when the car will be ready and it WILL be ready. Under promise, over deliver. If they were an internet startup I would invest. I really can't more about these guys - really nice but beyond that they get the job done, on time and within budget. I will not go anywhere else.
