About the shop
Family-run since 2009. Same crew, same corner of Magnolia Park, same way of doing things.
Danny Reyes opened Magnolia Park Auto Repair in 2009 with one bay and a twelve-year habit from the dealership: write it down before you touch it. He'd spent those years as a Honda and Toyota technician watching customers get a number over the phone that had nothing to do with the car in front of him. The shop was built to do the opposite.
Today there are three bays, four technicians and Danny's sister Lupe at the front desk. Most of our customers have been coming here since the first bay opened, and a lot of them send their kids when the kids start driving. That is the business plan.
We're a STAR-certified smog check station and an ASE Blue Seal of Excellence shop, which means a high share of our technicians hold ASE certifications in the work they do. We're AAA Approved. We speak English, Spanish and Armenian, because this is Burbank.
What you can expect: we look, we tell you what it needs and what can wait, you get a written estimate, and we call before anything changes. A check engine light isn't a diagnosis; the code tells us where to start looking, not what to replace. Drop it before 9 and we'll usually have an answer for you by lunch.
How we work
Written estimate first
If it changes, we call before we touch anything. No exceptions, including for regulars.
Now, soon, or later
Every inspection tells you what needs doing now, what to plan for, and what to ignore.
Show, don't tell
Old parts next to new ones, brake measurements on paper, the scan report in your hand.
We don't guess
We don't quote repairs by phone and we don't guarantee a smog result. We tell you what we find.
