Walk-ins and drop-offs welcome

Super impressed with their customer service and transparency. I really hate finding auto shops and I am really glad I found this place. Always feels good to leave an appointment feeling confident and not frustrated or ripped off. I will definitely be going back for any upcoming car repairs and maintenance.

Great honest mechanics. I came in to fix a tail light. They did it right away and at a great price. Super nice guys.

Awesome prices. Friendly staff. They almost make you wish your car would break down a little more often.

I just had a smog check done recently at Funk Brothers Auto. Hovig was very friendly and the service was done even quicker than I expected. Two thumbs up :)

I just can't say enough good thinks about these folks. I don't think I could drive without them.

I've been using Funk Bros. for over 20 years, from when they were on Ivar and run by Peter to now on La Brea and run by Peter's son Hovig. They are great at what they do and tell it like it is. If I need work done, they'll explain it in as much detail as I want but also let me know about stuff that I may need done eventually but not now. I'm often told I could wait until the next oil change, and even then it's time to monitor it, not necessarily do it. Excellent, guys, and thanks!

Unfortunately, it is clear that Funk Brothers has made some poor recommendations and is not willing to try to learn the facts. I feel it is my obligation to post this review so at least one customer proceeds with caution and chooses an alternative to protect their vehicle and wallet. I am really concerned for your customers. With the number of big issues people entrust you with, as an expert and engineer in lubrication for cars, I would advise all your customers to proceed with caution in everything with Funk Brothers. I asked to put an oil in my car that improves fuel economy called Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy (saves me money and the environment). As a new California resident, it disappoints me that Funk Brothers is preventing people from helping the environment without simply contacting Volvo to confirm that the oil meets the manufacturers specifications. They could have responded apologized and there would have been no issue. Instead, they have doubled down on a position thay only benefits them. To my fellow customers reading this, there are so many other options for car repair so I would advise you go elsewhere. ------------- In reply to the Funk Brothers comment, below, this is directly pasted (starting with the engine oil heading) from the Volvo website for my model of car which is a 2004.5. It can be found by a simple search and you will see it verbatim. Recommended and required mean two different things. They also recommend and brand that clearly isnt required. Mobil 1 Ow-30 meets and significantly exceeds both the specification and the recommendation on all emperical tests. See copied details below of Volvo requirements and recommeendations. Feel free to contact Volvo. new.volvocars.com/owners… Look at chapter 12 and you will see the following text... Engine oil Oil specifications Engine oil must meet the minimum ILSAC specification GF-2, including ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF and SJ/Energy Conserving. Your Volvo has been certified to standards using ILSAC oil specification GF-2 5W-30. Volvo recommends use of oil with a quality rating equal to or higher than ILSAC GF-2. Equivalent and better oils include ACEA A1, API SJ, SJ/CF, and SJ/Energy conserving. Lower quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance, or engine protection. Volvo Cars recommends Castrol. Depending on your driving habits, premium or synthetic oils may provide superior fuel economy and engine protection. Consult your Volvo retailer for recommendations on premium or synthetic oils. Oil additives must not be used. NOTE: Synthetic oil is not used when the oil is changed at the normal service intervals. This oil is only used at customer request, at additional charge. Please consult your Volvo retailer. Oil viscosity (stable ambient temperatures) Operation in hot climates When temperatures exceed 86° F (30° C) in your area, Volvo recommends, for the protection of your engine, that you use a heavier weight oil, such as SAE 10W-30. See the viscosity chart. Operation in temperate climates Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life. Under normal use when temperatures do not exceed 86° F (30° C), SAE 5W-30 will provide good fuel economy and engine protection. See the viscosity chart. American Petroleum Institute (API) symbol Extreme engine operation Synthetic oils meeting SAE 10W-30 and complying with oil quality requirements are recommended for driving in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, and for prolonged driving in mountainous areas. American Petroleum Institute (API) symbol The API Service Symbol "donut" is divided into three parts: The upper section describes the oil's performance level. The center identifies the oil's viscosity. The lower section indicates whether the oil has demonstrated energy-conserving properties in a standard test in comparison to a reference oil.

I've brought our 07 Chevy Chevy Tahoe in a few times. First times it was an electrical issue, then tires.. My wife stopped in for a broken rear brake bulb and they replaced it quickly and sent her on her way without charging her.. Headed in for brakes this week and a Check Engine warning light issue... Hovig, and the mechanics at FUNK BROTHERS AUTO are honest, fair, knowledgeable, and get the job done quickly. The are the best in the area, such a refreshing change from all the crooks that take advantage. I recommend them highly.

We are very thankful to have been down the street from Funk Bros when our car had issues. There was no power circulating throughout the car because of the corroded bolts. They consistently checked with us to let us know what they were doing and what worked and what didn't work and the steps they were taking. The owner was very nice and concerned. I would highly recommend this place.

My college-aged daughter was in L.A. for a summer internship. We had purchased a used car for her right before she left for CA and didn't have much time to check out the vehicle for any issues. Unfortunately a couple problems came up during her stay, and both times she had to quickly find a reliable mechanic. We searched online, saw all of the positive reviews, and made the call. I can't say enough good things about Funk Bros and how helpful they have been in taking care of the problems, promptly and for a very reasonable cost. We feel so fortunate to have had a reputable, trust-worthy resource during a time when she was 3000 miles from home. Thank you for making a big city feel like a very friendly small town!
