Alabama Brake & Alignment

We have been going to George for brakes, alignments, and suspension repairs for over 30 years. He has worked on dozens of our family’s cars in that time, including a 1938 Plymouth and a 1950 Ford, and a 1956 Ford, rebuilding brake systems on them. He is honest and very fair on his prices; much less than a dealer. He always stands behind his work. It is a blessing to have him to go to for brake and suspension issues. He is a great friend as well

For brake jobs George’s shop is the best. His quote over the phone is his word. he is wonderful to deal with.

This place is great. I called George and told him that I was in the area and that I needed a wheel alignment. He said to come by, luckily because he just got a cancellation. I came by and they took my car in almost immediately. His crew are very pleasant and professional. The job took about 20 minutes. Loved it. I highly recommend this place. George is an extremely nice and kind man.

Just got new tires and went here for the alignment, $ 60, which I do all the time when I get new tires or need alignment. George and his mechanics schedule a time for you to minimize the wait time. They have corrected some nasty alignment issues after hitting curb, etc.
I did brakes too and they showed me the remaining thickness of the shoes, rotated the rotors, put new ceramic shoes on for total of about $ 165 including tax. ($ 100 was labor). This is a fair price.
George and his staff are friendly, work efficiently, and my brakes are great.

thiefssss !!! i came in today for an allignemt that was supposed to be 60 $. they called me saying i need a new control arm blah blah blah they then said 1,200 $$$!!! i said wth. came to another place and they checked and said they were completly fine. then they alled me with the audacity to lower the price … thiefffssss!!! 100 percent !!! do not go here warning

Amazing service and the price is right. The owner George is a good guy and friendly. You won’t have to worry about being taken advantage of or mislead when bringing your vehicle here. Definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Still the best place in the west valley to get your bakes done. I was in and out within an hour. Super reasonable price. In fact, I paid the same price today as I did 4 years ago for brakes. George is perhaps the most honest auto mechanic I have ever met!!!

Great experience. George test drove the car numerous times to make sure the alignment is fine. Never seen anyone did this before. Will come back.

This place is awesome. I got an alignment for 60 bucks and some great advice about my tires. Unfortunately my alignment was so off that it had damaged my front tires. After talking to George I went and got two new back tires, came back and he swapped them and put them on the front to save me the money of getting all 4 replaced. He test drives the car himself to make sure it’s in top form. On top of the great service George is very sweet and professional. Thanks for all the help!

George is very nice ! Him and his mechanics Do great quality work at a reasonable price ! Honest mechanics ! I will be bringing my cars here for now on ! Carlos the mechanic is also very nice great customer service !

George and his shop are awesome. Took my Volvo S60 there for an alignment as I was recommended to go there from Nilsson’s Volvo Repair. He was unable to complete the alignment as some parts were worn out that needed to be replaced. He did not charge me anything for the alignment he was able to do. He gave me a written repair order to show the Volvo mechanic at Nilsson’s so they could fix it and then bring it back for the alignment. Gave me pizza that day as well. Brought my other car a Chrysler 200 for an alignment about a month later and he did a great job. I came back a few days later to get the steering wheel straightened out (no charge) and I got ice cream from him. Just a wonderful place and a wonderful person to deal with. Highly recommended.

Quality brake and alignment at a reasonable price. George is a very customer service oriented individual and my family has been coming here for years. I just had a 4 wheel alignment after my new tires for $ 60.

Honest mechanic who loves his job and treats his customer like they are family. Not to mention his staff are always happy to answer your questions.

Who said mechanics are not honest?
They haven’t meet George
Absolutely the best mechanic you can meet…
I have a 2004 Nissan Maxima that was damaged and was not holding the alignment I had to make six trips to George’s shop in order to get this fixed.
He could’ve charged more nut the topic never came up… you can’t go wrong with Alabama Alignment
Don’t look any where els

Best place to go for alignment. I only go here whenever i need an alignment job. They are always honest and polite, and get the job done right.

I came by here because my tire shop (tires buy mark) recommended this place. As a woman I don’t really know much about cars and cost but they had mentioned to me that George would be very honest with me if my car needed work and that he wouldn’t rip me off. I must say that when I arrived I was very skeptical about this place. One, it looks very run down and kind of messy. But I figured I’d give it a shot. George was super kind and explained everything to me and what needed to be replaced. The other mechanics were very nice as well. Because they explained everything to me that made me feel comfortable and they definitely earned my trust. I had my front right and left front quick strut assembly replaced that included a four wheel alignment for under $ 700. I’m not sure how much the parts cost or anything but I’m very happy with their service, my car runs amazing now and I totally appreciate the reference to this place and I would recommend people to come here. I’m sure I will be coming here again for other things.

I’ve been working with Alabama brakes and alignment for over 12 years they do all our alignments and the guys here are great very knowledgeable and ver we’ll informed very friendly and will try their best to deliver perfection I will recommend this to every one

Two words; friendly and professional.
George drove my car around 3 times until he felt my alignment was perfect. No problem for me George, I can wait for perfection. Thank you to Angel too, these guys couldn’t be nicer and more professional. Top notch, would give 6 stars if I could. One more thing, only 60.00 $. Something to consider when shopping around for alignment shops.
One more story, sorry for the rambling. An older gentlemen came in an had a huge smile on his face, like he was with friends. This guy talked to for the most part about how amazing George is, that he had been using George since the 80’s, seriously. He said that I had found the best alignment place there is, kudos to me, but really, kudos to George and his guys busting their balls in that garage and doing perfect work.

I’ve been going to George for about 15 years now. He’s replaced struts, springs, rack and pinion, power steering pumps, brakes, rotors, done alignments, rotations, balances… for both of the cars I’ve owned in that time. I’ve never had a problem with his work.
Unlike some places, he is happy to let you bring your own parts (that saves YOU money).
Yes, the shop is cramped and dirty. That’s why I plan ahead and DROP OFF the car and then pick it up when it’s ready. And if you can’t find a ride, there is an Orange Line bus stop station less than a block away. You know, the big orange buses that run along a dedicated pathway and run from Chatsworth to the North Hollywood Red Line subway station? Anyway…
His prices are very fair and he is a real character (and I mean that in a good way).
How much do I like this shop? I live 15 miles away, my work is 21 miles away and I STILL go there.

I have been George’s Customer for over 20 years. There are not enough positive comments I can make about his character, trust and the service they provide. The most important part is the honesty! He will tell you what you need and wont recommend something extra just to put a few extra bucks in his pocket. His prices are fair and the work they do is GREAT!
When you have a business that has stayed in business for this long, and customers that keep coming back… it all speaks for itself.
