I never write reviews, but I had to write one for Joe. He is the most fair and honest mechanic I have ever conducted business with. He went above and beyond what I have come to expect from most mechanics. I could tell he truly cares about his customers and wants them to have the best possible service.

JOE AND HIS TEAM are amazing. Job well done, thank you!!!!! I’ve had my car since 2007 all previous services were done by the dealership, Casa De Cadillac, were I bought my XLR. They had my car literally months and could not resolve the issue, but kept telling me they did, giving me the car back but within days, sometimes hours, It would have the same problem. This happened about 6 times and Casa de Cadillac never fixed it! Joe on the other hand, found and resolved the problem. I can’t express the appreciation I have for him and I would suggest anybody who wants an honest, hard-working, nice, troubleshooting mechanic head to automotive M&M on Van Nuys Blvd. in Sherman Oaks. Trust worthy with reasonable prices!

I was referred to this place by a coworker. Very happy with this experience and service. Joe, the owner, is very knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I called on a thursday and they set me up an appointment on Monday. I had 35K Mile maintenance done on my 2016 Accord and was very pleased with how i was treated and the quality of the work. I will be returning in the future.

Joe and the crew are awesome. My air conditioner stopped working and two other shops said I needed to replace the compressor, Joe was so honest and told us he found the lose wire! No new compressor needed at all. He has earned our business and he will earn your's too!

I could sincerely write a novel at how incredible this place is and how amazing their staff is. I have very limited knowledge on cars and maintenance and without fail they answered every silly or dumb question I had with grace and made sure my car was in top condition. I went here numerous times over the last year for minor and major maintenance work. They drove to pickup parts for me to ensure a quick turn around and continually went above and beyond to make sure my car was safe to drive and all fixed up. I cannot recommend this place enough.

I've had Joe taking care of all our cars since the early 2000s. I live far away now and still commute over for him to service our cars. Honesty, Integrity and super skilled at his job. He has always made me feel safe driving my cars and has always done repairs in such away to make it affordable. I highly recommend Automotive M&M.

Cannot recommend Joe & team highly enough! Automotive M & M is truly honest and fair with their pricing. The whole team has been extremely transparent and respectful and are able to tackle any challenge you throw at them. I seldom write reviews but time after time I've been so impressed that I had to share!

Joe is reliable and honest. I've been exclusively using his service for many years and I've never returned a car with the same problem twice. He's also very fair on pricing and always willing to work with me

Joe has been our business mechanic for 10 years now. Fair prices, excellent service. i Trust Automotive M&M 100%. You can expect honest appraisals of work required with no up-sell. And no fear of work being under performed and failing . Thanks to Joe our 2007 F-150 has made it to 225,000 miles and still going strong.

This is my review of any product or service. I had to do it for M&M. Our family has used Joe for 20+ years. He is honest, and goes great work. By honest, he will tell you what you need and what the realistic outcomes will be. He lets you know make good decisions, because he provides you great information (data.) It is pretty obvious how popular his work is. The lot is always full because his work is trustworthy. I would, and have recommended, to anyone who needs a honest non-nonsense mechanic.

Joe and the M&M Automotive team are amazing. Joe is friendly and honest. Prices are exceptionally fair and make you realize how much dealerships are overcharging for materials and labor. I dropped of my car for about change (full synthetic) and a full point by point inspection. Totally time about 5 hours from drop off to phone call saying it was ready to be picked up. Total cost $88.

I had a complete flat when I pulled in and I was told he was really busy and might not be able to get to my tire that day. I had a large TV in the back seat and so I said could he recommend a place for me to get my tire fixed. Joe was stressed because honestly his shop was extremely busy and I think he had deadlines, but I couldn't leave my car with the TV in it. And he didn't want me to drive with a complete flat, and he got one of his mechanics to fix it really quick. The man who fixed my tire made sure the other ones were good also. They are busy because they're good. I've always had really good service at this shop.

Excellent mechanic shop, i can't recommend this place highly enough. I've been taking my cars to them for years, and they've always done a fantastic job on both major & minor repairs. Their work is top notch, cars are ready on time, estimates are accurate, and communication is clear & timely. No frills. No BS. No surprises. Above all, honest. This is a great shop with great mechanics, and the pride they take in their work really shows. Thanks guys.

I highly recommend! He even provides a list of recommended work to be done either immediately or over time! My car decided to completely stop working on me while I was driving down Sepulveda from the valley to LA, and Joe and his team eventually found out what was wrong with it. When I initially called Joe, I was very frazzled from my car situation, he slowly, clearly, and calmly explained to me what they would do to find out the problem and how the total will be calculated. Joe is very personable and receives a thorough explanation of what led to the problem. I strongly appreciate that they took the time to do diagnostics before jumping to conclusions like I had assumed I needed a new battery. Boy, am I glad that wasn't the case! Joe also does his best to find the best and most affordable solution. I know it can be hard to find a mechanic team you can trust: you can trust this one! I think the only downside is that they're not open on weekends to provide their lovely services, but everyone needs their rest days! I hope I can find a reliable trustworthy mechanic like Joe to go to if I ever encounter car trouble over the weekend.

I cannot recommend this mechanic enough! You’re not going to get a better deal for work this good. Joe has been my mechanic for 7+ years. He is very, very good at what he does - I can’t trust anybody else with my car! He will tell you the truth, so listen to his advice. His prices are very fair, while other mechanics in LA price-gouge, lie, or worse. I knew I could trust him when I made the mistake of buying a lemon. He was genuinely and righteously angry at the dealership who had sold me the car and refused to charge me for the inspection he did. He insisted that I bring every car to him *before* buying it for an inspection from then on. I was very young at the time and this made me feel safe. This was so important to me as a young woman. He has taken great care of my car, and thanks to him it has lasted way longer than I thought was possible. Even though I no longer live in the valley, I still visit Joe because I can’t find another mechanic who is more trustworthy, consistent, reliable, and affordable. The trek to the valley is worth it, both financially and for the peace of mind. Thank you for everything, Joe!

I've been bringing my cars to Joe for years. He has worked on my Honda Odyssey and my Acura TLX and most recently my husband's Alfa Romeo Giulia. I've used him for oil changes, major services, brake flushes, and tire changes. He is so trustworthy, he does great work, and never tries to push anything that I don't need. Steven is the other guy who manages the front desk and he is also great. I recommend Joe and M&M 1,000%!!

I've known Joe for over 40 years. He and I worked together in a shop in Canoga Park and we have both been in the auto business since then. When I retired, I needed a shop I could trust, and I knew exactly where to go. It's over an hour drive for me to get my car to his shop, but I won't go anywhere else. He's always been the most honest and trusted mechanic I've known. He will tell you the truth, won't sell unneeded work, and only hires people with his same work ethic. You can't go wrong.
