KS Complete Auto

This is truly a five-​star place and now my go-​to spot for tune-​ups and oil changes. About a year ago I needed a tune-​up while in the area and Unilocal directed me here. Hovik took care of me and I got a complete tune-​up/​oil change plus some miscellaneous work that needed to be done. Hovik called me to get approval before doing the other items. They did a lot and at a very good price. I appreciated this so much that the next time I needed an oil change and tune-​up I went out of my way to go there again. Again, quality, fast service at very reasonable prices. Yesterday I brought my car in again because I had thought their removal of a nail in a tire had caused my tire pressure to go down in one tire, and my engine warning light to go on. Again Hovik took care of me on the spot. Filled all the tires and handled the check engine light. Even though their prior tune-​up/​nail removal was not the cause of anything that needed to be done, Hovik did it all free of charge. Very friendly and thanked me for my business even though he didn’t charge me for anything! Their shop is a block away from the Americana, so it’s nice to take the car in and go to the Americana for a while while the car is serviced. Although Glendale is not near where I live or work, I’ll come out of my way for their great service.

This review is long overdue, about a year and a half actually lol. As a female working college student it was hard for me to find a place where they would be HONEST with me, not AGGRESSIVE with pushing other services, and reasonably priced. KS was honest, prompt, respectful, and never pushed me into paying for things I didn’t need. I will be definitely coming back.

If you want your car to be inspected and fixed with professional mechanics this is place to be. Any time you come here you get help right away and most importantly no games no cheating. Definitely the place to bring your car if you have any problems.

Seriously Hovik is the man. I just bought a Porsche Cayenne GTS and he helped do a look over of the vehicle prior to me purchasing it. He did it for free! Who does that? Then he was able to fix it up for me as well. Five stars for him and his crew. Really nice and realllllllly thorough.

I came here after buying a used car to get some help with my breaks. Harout was very honest and helpful. He was prompt with his help and gave me his opinion on my car without exaggeration, (something that is hard to find at any auto shop). I am very glad I came here before I committed to any other auto service. They are honest and genuine. I would recommend anyone to give them a chance, and I will be back myself!

I went to KS after reading all the great reviews on Unilocal. All of them were correct. They are outstanding, friendly and knowledgeable. They did a great job on my car and were straightforward and reasonably priced.

After purchasing a pre-​owned Bentley GT, I did my research to find an independent mechanic that could do the same if not better job than a dealership, at fraction of the cost. Hovik at KS Complete Auto Service was kind enough to welcome me for a free consultation and we went over what I’d already assumed. After fair prices on parts and labor, I just picked up my car and it’s truly elite work. Quick turnaround for the parts and service was exceptional. I’m glad to have found a reliable independent mechanic, thank you Hovik and Harout. Happy Holidays to you both, until next time.

Very good honest repair shop. I really like the owner Hovik. He seems very genuine, direct and honest about work and prices for their services. Additionally, I like that they work on nice higher end cars so it makes an owner feel more comfortable that they know what they are doing.

This is an updated review based on service I received in Jan 2016. I brought my car in to fix the side view mirrors since I noticed they weren’t adjusting at all. After getting it examined we also noticed the drivers side seat controls inoperable. Initially we thought it just needed a new control module underneath the drivers side seat but upon further examination we uncovered an electrical short due to water damage. You can imagine my concern and fear that this was going to get very expensive to repair. Hovik, the owner of the shop informed me water damage was not my fault and suggested I use insurance since that is what I pay for. What a sigh of relief since ultimately much of the floor board, sunroof panel, and side trim needed to be replaced along with some plugged hoses and outside of my deductible my insurance paid for it. Along the process Hovik kept me informed and reassured me that my vehicle would be fixed properly and correctly. And he was right! Although it took a month due to replacements parts and working out figures with my insurance company I am relieved and happy to have my vehicle back and operational. Hovik is a honorable business man with integrity who really cares about his customers and communicates very effectively and openly. Lastly, I had a key fob that was falling apart and he was kind enough to replace it at no cost. I would highly recommend this shop to any of my friends.

KS Complete is my go to place to get an oil change. I drive a Porsche Cayenne and so any fix is pricey, however, KS ALWAYS gives me the BEST prices! I went in for an oil change today, and it turned out that I also needed to change my filters and brake pads. I was expecting a high bill, but Hovik & Horout were able to charge me half of what competitors would have charged. As if that wasn’t great enough, they even replaced my brake light free of charge!
If you want to leave your car in excellent hands, with quality professionals in a very generous and friendly atmosphere, I definitely RECOMMEND KS Complete Auto!

I’ve never bothered to review an auto shop, but this place is so great I feel like I have to!
Last year I bought a used Mini when an old car broke down on a road trip and I had to replace it on the spot. I didn’t have time to do any research on the car I was buying, and after driving it for a few months a bunch of vague problems started cropping up with it. Other mechanics (who didn’t specialize in European cars) were unable to identify the source and simply gave me back the car saying they couldn’t figure it out.
These guys completely pulled the car apart and successfully identified a handful of issues, which, again, the other mechanic didn’t catch. They worked quickly, and after addressing the issues the car runs amazingly well! It used to sputter and misfire out of nowhere, but since they worked in it the problem is completely gone — it runs like new! I’ve driven it for over 2,000 miles since then (even on a long road trip) and it’s still running just as well as when they gave it back to me.
I’ve never noticed such a dramatic and clear-​cut improvement in auto performance after repairs before. Usually a mechanic will tell me they’ve «fixed» something and I honestly can’t tell the difference. These guys clearly fixed the issue, and the difference is like night and day.
I also appreciated that the guy I dealt with really takes pride in the job, explaining that he feels like a doctor who has to «listen to the symptoms» to identify problems. That may sound silly, but I think it’s an accurate comparison, and that kind of genuine passion makes a difference in the quality of service.
Again, can’t recommend them highly enough, especially if you have a European car!

Awesome experience! Called a few other places and they were not qualified to conduct the service that I wanted done on my vehicle or would tell me one thing on the phone & something completely different when I got there. I called KS and they said to come in and they could help me right away. I drove right over and was in and out in half of the time that I expected. Prompt service and they kindly gave me an estimate on some other work I may have done in the future. Make sure to ask for Hovik! Thanks guys.

Hands down the best shop in the big LA area. I had my Bentley serviced. They are not only experienced, but also extremely helpful.

This review has been long overdue. I have had my car repaired a couple of times at KS Complete Auto Service. Both Harout and Hovik are very knowledgeable about German cars and are extremely friendly. They have far better service and prices as compared to dealerships. My car requires another repair soon and I know I will be back at their shop very soon. Thanks Harout and Hovit for a great customer experience.

My reliable old Chevy suddenly had a problem and I needed help quick! I’m fairly new to the area and went to Unilocal to find a repair shop close by, with the maximum stars. Lucky for me, I found KS Complete Auto Service.
The gentlemen at KS were so kind to me. They diagnosed the problem quickly, and rather than have me sit around the shop all day, I was given a ride home and then a ride back when the work was complete. Hovik showed me the parts that were replaced. And although I hadn’t planned to spend money on car repairs (who does?), the price was fair and the work was done the same day. I didn’t feel that they were taking advantage because I don’t know anything about cars. Hovik was honest about everything. I really appreciate that.
It’s great to find such a good place to take my car. Thank you, Hovik and Harout for taking one big worry away. Now I know where to take my car anytime it needs care. I’ll be back for my next oil change!

These guys are excellent. Honest, open most days, efficient, timely and at reasonable cost. They seem to take care of a variety of cars from Japanese to American to German cars … Excellent!!!

This place is awesome. Friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place for your car. I was looking for an antenna for my MBZ. I got the right one with a good price. Normally dealer charge a lot. But im happy I found this place. I will definitely bring my car in for other services!
Cheers!

Not a bad service but I’ve been here twice and they seem like they tell u the worst case scenario first even if it is a simple problem.

I found KS Complete auto through Unilocal when I needed a pre purchase inspection for a car I was about to buy. The staff was incredibly professional and within 10 minutes, he let me know the car was a lemon. He pulled a list of ⁷⁄₈ things that were wrong with the car that the current owner didn’t mention, and strongly suggested I didn’t buy the car. Saved me a ton of money.
Thanks again and would definitely come back.

I have to say Harout and Hovik are the best shop owners I met, honest, friendly, strive to help and always with the best price.
This is one garage I could recommend and where I have my Porsche Cayenne S serviced, with 100% satisfaction. All their help understand European Cars and are eager to repair in short period of time, or even help with a loaner for bigger tasks.
Thank you Hovik.

I did a car inspection and they are really professional and they know what they are doing.
They have great customer service. And I will do car inspection here anytime I want to buy a car.
