Studio City Auto Repair

Searching back on my long and storied past that includes many, many dealerships, auto repair stores, brake shops...you name it, I can't recall a single time I was more pleased with price or service. I'll be back here for sure.

I give Funk Brothers and specifically Jovig a BIG five stars. I had to repair the bumper of my ex-boyfriend's truck and not only did Jovig do a superb job with the repairs, he was incredibly kind, understanding and sensitive about the situation. Funk Brothers went above and beyond all expectations and made what could have been a stressful and financially tough situation very smooth, fair and pleasant experience.

These guys came highly recommended and now I know why. I've been taking my car to them for almost a year. Reasonable prices, honest assesments and great service. They even checked my "check engine" light for free and reset it (turns out gas cap was loose).

I've only been here for oil and filter changes, but the guys have always been more than helpful and never pushy on trying to sell me on stuff I don't need for my car! As a young woman I always feel like car shops are trying to take advantage of me because I don't know what I'm talking about, but unbeknownst to them my grandfather owned an auto repair shop my whole life and I know more about cars then most women! The price, friendliness and honesty keeps me coming back to Funk Brothers! I'd recommend them to any of my friends!

I have been going to Funk Brothers for 7 years now. They have always gone out of their way to save me money. I owned a Porsche that was extremely expensive to maintain and Funk Brothers always manged to repair any problems at a price that always made me smile. Not only that, but they truly show customer loyalty and would always go out of their way to see me as soon as possible and have me back in my car in no time at all. My girl friend was worried that her breaks were bad on her Chrysler and we took it in to have the breaks done. We left the car with Hovig at F.B. and 30 minutes later i received a phone call that there was nothing wrong with the breaks and they still had quite a bit of life in them. Unfortunately I am moving out of state soon and one of the things I am worried about is being able to find a new mechanic that is as honest and fantastic as Funk Brothers has been.

Trusted these guys for 12 years with multiple vehicles; vintage, Euro and Asian. They know the WRX inside and out. Always upfront and reliable. Have referred at least a dozen folks who have been completely satisfied. If you don't want to pay for labor people then do it yourself!

I will never go anywhere else. They've been my mechanics for over a decade since I first move to LA. I could give you anecdote after anecdote about how they took great care of me, but I won't. What I will tell you is that they have tried, every time I've been in, to save me money. I go in, they diagnose the problem. Then we talk about all the options for fixing it. "We can get the dealer part, or I can get an aftermarket for less... or let me see if we can get a part from a junk yard... ok, so here are the options, the junkyard part is X, the dealer part is Y, there are two aftermarket parts that cost Z and A... If it were my money, I'd go with the aftermarket Z because they give a longer warranty than the aftermarket A, and it's basically the same as the dealer part... comes from the same factory. The junkyard part is too risky with this repair..." And it's the phrase "If it were my money," that makes all the difference. They don't want to repair your car in a cheapo way, nor do they want you to always go with the most expensive option. They repair your car like they would repair their own. What more needs to be said?

Funk Bros. is a great place. I took my car there for an oil change and they took care of it right away. I went to the 99 cent store across the street and when I came back my car was waiting for me all ready to go. The prices are great too.

These guys are awesome. I called the morning after Christmas and they got me in right away. I had seen another review that said they charged $18 for the oil change and even though that special was no longer valid, they honored the price. We were in and out in 30 minutes and they were super nice too. I will definitely go back.

Funk Bros has been my go-to local mechanic shop for three years, and I really appreciate their no BS approach to car repair. I work on my own car (oil, tune ups, brakes..thanks, Dad!), but I'm not a certified mechanic, and they walk me through any repairs I can't do myself, even showing me what needs to be repaired. I've brought two of my vehicles here--a Mazda Miata & Audi A4--and they treated them like they were both high line cars. The fact that they're happy to take things apart and check out what's going on "under the hood" without pricey estimates is a huge plus. Hovig (the operations manager) can tell you what's going on in your auto that even the most unmechanical customer can understand. They def deserve 5 stars. If I had to think of a con, I'd say labour is a bit pricey ($100/hr), but, that's relative in central Hollywood. You can spend hours scouring Google for cheaper auto repair shops, or you can visit one that will do quality work and will earn your repeat business. Amenities include: magazines, TV, coffee and doughnuts (I don't eat either of the latter, but still nice to see ;)
