Boris Auto Repair

What a great service he does. He polite and reasonable prices that he quote you. He know his vehicles and tells you what you need and don’t need. And checks out entirely. He gets it done fast. And pick you up if you need a ride back to your place.

Boris and his team are amazing mechanics. They are reliable, trustworthy and reasonably priced (maintenance and repairs). I have been bringing my cars to them for over 6 years now. What I like about Boris is that he repairs cars for longevity and not simple cheap fixes that can potentially create a much bigger problem. He’s very knowledgeable and honest with assessing the issue and then fixing it accordingly in very acceptable time frames.

This man does his job because he loves it not for the money. He will offer you a ride home. Which he did for me twice. He’s the nices mechanic I have ever met. I literally downloaded Unilocal just to give this place a review.

Boris is reasonable and trustworthy. Two very rare qualities to find now days.
Every Time I’ve had and issue with my car he has helped me and if needed a ride will be provided.
Definitely will continue to be a loyal costumer.

Very satisfied with the work done by Boris Auto Repair. They are very professional. Also very knowledgeable on how to fix your car in the most time and money saving way possible. I would highly recommend!

My family has been coming here for all of our auto repairs for over a decade. We are very particular about taking our cars to certain shops and Boris is amazing at his job. The staff is extremely friendly and precise about the repairs. They go out of their way to completely check the cars and make sure that everything is running smoothly. He is very caring and doesn’t try to rip anyone off.
Great customer service and prices!

The ONLY place I would ever take both of our vehicles. Boris is an expert mechanic who will go above and beyond to give you great service at an honest price. On a side note… you’ll never meet a kinder/​nicer man. Boris gets 5 stars on all fronts from me!

I have been coming here for almost 2 years and I don’t take my car anywhere else. Borris is always very kind, honest and helpful. He always goes above and beyond my expectations of customer service for a very reasonable prices. Another plus is the fact that it is so close I can walk home even though he always offers to drop me off when I need to leave my car. He always shows me the old part of my car that was replaced and it is just great service overall.

I don’t give out five stars easily. I moved to Glendale back in 2002. I tend to keep my cars for 10 years or more, because of this I need regular maintenance (oil, brakes, filters, etc) as well as more intensive work (fuel pump, electrical, motors etc.).
I pulled into Boris’s garage one day, and have been taking my cars and recommending others to do so ever since. Boris is so knowledgeable it’s a rarity that he can’t help you, but if he can’t he will tell you straight away. I like that about him and it makes me trust him more.
In any case I drive a 2002 GMC and a 2006 Honda and both cars receive regular maintenance by Boris. I’ve got a lot of miles on each car, but they hum like babies. I attribute this to the fact that Boris does a point check on every service. He finds things and says, you need to fix this if not this time then next time. I always get it done. My cars are the happiest little cars in town.
Recently, however; one of my cars had been stolen and in a pursuit. I recovered the car and it didn’t seem right. The brakes were not working right, some other things. Insurance sent over an appraiser who agreed to things like changing fluid or brake pads, but Boris could tell there was more. Even when I was happy to cash the check he said don’t cash it yet, something is not right. So he checked it some more, drove it out on the freeway and called me back and said more work needed to be done. He called insurance and got the car approved for a master cylinder replacement. I got a supplemental check. It wasn’t a ton of money or anything shady, it was just him looking out for me. I have to say, he doesn’t gamble with the brakes… he always says, «I’m not sending you out in your car until I’m 100% sure that your brakes are functioning 100% because if something happened to you I would have that on my conscious.»
That is what you need to know about Boris Automotive, he just cares too much to do brakes half-​way, or your repairs half-​ass. He will save you money where he can, but he won’t compromise your safety or the functioning of your car.
Go to Boris, he is the real deal.

I am thoroughly delighted with the services Boris had provided me. My Subaru has 240,000 miles on the odometer, and Boris has extended my car’s life for the last 100,000 with his fair and honest service. He explains the reason for every repair in ways that I can understand. My car is ready when he promises. My car has been in his shop at least half a dozen times, for repairs running from simple to very complicated. I’ve been ripped off again and again by crooked mechanics, it’s such a relief to finally find someone I can trust.

Boris and his team are a gre at bunch. I’ve lived near his shop for a good few years now and they have taken care of our cars all throughout. It’s nice to know we can count on a good mechanic who does fast and honest work for a good price.

This is a family-​owned and family-​run business. Boris is the most honest mechanic I’ve ever met. He is t h e b e s t. Whenever he’s replaced a part he’s shown/​given me the old part as well as the new part’s box, etc., so that I know the work was actually done. He’s saved us so much money over the (dishonest) Glendale dealership/​body shop too. He always gives options in terms of parts and cost. If you’re looking for a an honest guy, Boris Auto Repair is your spot.

I am pretty particular about where I take our cars for repairs and have been known to drive well over 20 miles for a mechanic. This mom and pop shop is within minutes of us so when our car’s drivetrain was acting up, I decided to try Boris for an estimate.
Initially I was told by the tire shop that the car’s shimmy was a bad axle. Went to Boris and he advised us to get a second opinion as he didn’t want to see us spend hundreds of dollars on unnecessary work. So, I went to a transmission shop that kept the car for a few hours of diagnostic. The second shop advised to replace the axles. Got some price estimates and declined.
Took the car back to Boris as he had the integrity to suggest a second opinion instead of taking me for a ride.
When it came time to pick up the car, Boris advised us that he looked deeper into the car and figured out that it was not a bad axle. The differential/​drivetrain was simply in need of a flush and fill. He got the fluids from the dealership, flushed and refilled it, and car was back to original form and function.
He saved us a couple hundred dollars that day when he could have easily taken us for a ride.
This was our first time at the shop and we will be back for more maintenance work.

Boris is truly an exceptional mechanic. My water hose broke this morning. I drove there and he fixed it on the spot. God bless you Boris.

Boris and his brother are awesome people!!! They’re super honest, so you can take that feedback to the hater down below.
I have taken my car in a number of times and they called Enterprise to get me a discount on my rental car the very first time I came in.
My sun roof was leaking and needed to be re-​adjusted, my gas tank wouldn’t open because the hinge broke, my window wouldn’t roll up so they fixed the motor, my steering wheel was squeaking and they fixed it without me even asking! They are so awesome and sweet, every time I drop off my car I know they will take good care of it.
Also, I recently had my car re-​painted here and they did an amazing job, it looks like new! They are super careful, honest and up-​front about what exactly they are going to do and strive for perfection. Also, they are inexpensive on top of it all! They said I could come back any time if I wasn’t satisfied and they will re-​touch! Love this place

Boris is a pleasure to work with. He is the most honest mechanic I have ever met. He fixed my Miata that had an engine problem. He will give you a fair price for his work. I would highly recommend him.

I have been taking my cars to Boris for years. Boris takes really good care of my cars and I trust him completely. He has fixed many a difficult problem for me. He is knowledgeable, quick and reliable. He communicates with me and always explains what needs to be done before doing it. Great customer service. I recommend him to all my friends and family.

Boris’s shop is really customer friendly. They get the job done and their prices are very reasonable. I have recommended all my friends to go there.
Booya

ok i’ve been to this little garage twice. the first time the guy turned me away because he said he didn’t work on carbureted engines. the second time i came in with distributor in hand with a rotor that wouldn’t come off the shaft and he said he didn’t have the tools to remove it and referred me to pep boys.
so either this guy is extremely honest in his limitations with what he can’t do, doesn’t want to do any work for me, or is really a lame mechanic.
giving him the benefit of the doubt but not impressed.

I trust Boris. He has taken care of my family’s cars for years. They are honest and they do a great job. 5 stars. I prefer Boris than the car shops. His price is reasonable. His shop is by Chevy Chase and he has been the preferred go to local mechanic here in our neighborhood. Thanks Boris. Keep up the good work.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOP!!! I have had body work done on two vehicles at this location in the last year. From the moment that I had my first contact with Boris I began to have the feeling that I had found the auto body repair shop that I could always depend on to give me the service and the quality workmanship that I am always looking for whenever I am choosing someone to do work on my vehicles. He has beat ALL quotes from previous shops by more than 20%-35%!!!
He carefully listens to all questions and responds with confidence and courtesy, not because he has to but because he clearly wants to give the customer the best service experience possible. He doesn’t take your business for granted and clearly understands that it’s a quality experience that will bring you back and that you will tell your friends and family about as I have.
If he misses a phone call it’s usually just a few minutes before he calls you back, always giving you the information you’re requesting. I’ve never been put off by Boris or felt that anything was more important than me when I was dealing with him. I’ve NEVER been disappointed at this facility. The facility is impeccably clean, comfortable and functional.
Upon entering you very quickly get the impression that the excellent customer experience starts the moment you enter and doesn’t stop until you’re satisfied, completely satisfied. I know that I can trust Boris to do the work right the first time and that I will leave the facility not only satisfied but impressed.
Thanks Boris for having one of the best business models I have encountered in my 20 years and for hiring the kind of people who can put that model into action. And, Thank You for being my go to guy for my auto body repair needs. Keep those standards high!!!

Boris has been servicing our Camry for years. He’s very knowledgable and honest. He uses quality parts and explains, in detail, his repairs. I never worry when dropping off our car. Thank you Boris!

I have used Boris for about 10 years. We come from Pasadena for his services because of his shop’s honesty and quality. To illustrate his honesty, for a while, I was driving a car on it’s last leg. He only recommended what was necessary to keep the car running and safe. He could’ve told me that I needed this and that and got more money out of me, but instead of taking more of my hard earned money, he only recommended the necessary.
He also takes great pride in his work, explaining what he did. Boris is my first and only choice for automotive repair and he should be yours.

I just recommended Boris to my sister-​in-​law after she got a repair estimate from another shop that seemed a bit high. Boris was able to make the repair AND service her car for about 20% less than the other mechanic.
This is one of the reasons that Boris has been my auto mechanic for over 20 years. He is honest to a fault and takes extra care to make sure your car is repaired properly, with quality parts and materials.
I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Boris auto repair is one of very few honest mechanic shops that I have ever known, they have done a lot of repairs for me both on domestic and foreign cars, they also have done work on my classic cars, and I have been very satisfied with their work every single time. Will highly recommend them to work on your cars.

Boris is our neighborhood automotive guy. His shop is at the entrance to Chevy Chase Estates which makes him a little hard to stumble upon, but his location just off the 2 freeway makes him convenient to get to once you know that he’s here.
He is very honest and his prices are competitive. Often time’s his quotes are far less then other shops that I’ve contacted.
