Chubby’s Automotive

I’ve been going to Chubby for years and he’s a great guy. But the work lately has been shoddy and Chubby has been unable to get things working in a timely manner. Repair times on some problems have stretched into months and months. The latest one — he rebuilt an engine for me — a four month process ending in September. The day after I got it back, it started smoking really badly. Now, over 2 months later, he just opened it up last week and hasn’t ordered the parts he needs to repair it. Update: He put it back together but it still doesn’t run right. Not willing to offer a refund. I’m just out $ 2k.

Chubby is awesome. Doesn’t rip you off very honest. I took my 64 nova and he got it up and ruining in a few days and at a good price. He knows his cars. His staff is fast, knowledgeable, and professional. I’m definitely a happy costumer.

This is by far the best automotive shop I’ve ever been to.. i have a 1971 chevy c10 with a built 5.7 sbc that started running relly bad. soo i stopped by its down the street from my house they drove and inspected my truck chubby the owner did who personally inspects all the vehicles he drove it tunned my carb down told me to take it home remove the spark plugs 1 or all and bring them to him if not he gave me a spark plug of what the ones i have should look like shurely enough i had installed expensive 100 dollar spark plugs when i needed regular ones that were like 25 but then he ordered them from his shop and i piked them up at the store for $ 15 he did not charge me anything for looking at my truck this shop went way above and beyond and were supper friendly all of them verry family oriented bussines and you feel it as soon as you talk to who ever the first person you see is!

Whatever you do don’t get scummed by «Scummys». This guy is the epitome of a shady automotive shop, they ruined my car and now my driveway is full of oil, the new parts that were replaced and charged me for were used parts from different make model vehicles told to me by ford, and bolted together with bolts from a Japanese car, which shredded into my motor. They claimed to fix it when I took it back, but they made it worse!!! Unlawful untrustworthy

Went in because my check engine light was on in my Infiniti g35 coupe they plugged in the code reader found out what was the problem explained in detail what was the problem and what need to be done 2 hrs later check engine light off car running back to normal Chubby and his son have excellent customer service honest about the work and price over all I’m very satisfied with this shop. I’m definitely coming back for regular service thanks. Update 2÷5÷16 took in my wife’s Lexus IS 350 for a oil change I had the oil and filter he charged me 10 bucks for the work I gave him 20 very satisfied with the service I get here highly recommend.

Buyer Beware… The automotive repair facility claims to purchase new parts — and actually puts used parts on your car. Reviewed by the Bureau of Automotive, Consumer Affairs, CA. Definitely not satisfied with the work done on vehicle… He is NOT honest and has failed to reimburse.

Great people to work with. Very friendly and family based qualities. I have taken my Olds there, and every time the work has been very good. I live just around the corner and I would say one of the best places in Sylmar.

FANTASTIC mechanic! Great work, inexpensive, and very personable. I take my car to Chubby’s for everything and can highly recommend him. Most importantly, he’s honest.

Very shady work. I had my axle replaced at Chubbys Automotive last summer and it turned out that it was not meant for my car because it wasnt sealing. It was leaking transmission fluid which played a huge factor that messed up my transmission. I do not recommend.

I am not satisfied with the work done in my car by Chubby. Definitely, I am not recommending this auto body shop to anybody.
