Marlo’s Frame & Alignment

First off, whoever writes a bad review on this shop based on prices must not know anything about cars. From experience, this type of car work takes a lot of time and effort to get things right. Some times things go as planned and some times they don’t, and when things don’t go well, you have to pay a little bit more. It is understandable with older vehicles that things could add up, but this happens to all car shops. I had a lot of suspension and brake work done at Marlo’s, which turned out to be more work than expected. However, Marlon kept to his pricing and the car turned out better than I had ever expected! The $ 900 worth of work would have been $ 1500 or more anywhere else! The customer service was also some of the best I had ever had. Most shops are reluctant to talk to customers multiple times when they have questions, unless they have cash in hand. Marlon answered every question I had via text and phone call, and this is important to us car guys when trying to learn the dynamics of our cars. Would recommend Marlo’s to every one of my friends and family. Thanks again Marlon!

I couldn’t be happier and pleased with Marlo’s, by word of mouth, my friend Brett found him, told me he was honest and fair prices. I went to his place, but he had already left early, when I called the # outside he picked up and told me, he has an emergency and had to leave early, I did not have an appointment with him however. so I went right across from his garage, a few feet away, well I got a quote for $ 440.00 Wow!!! just for breaks? really? so I told the guy I would probably come back on Saturday, and I did, but to Marlo’s garage, because I called him back and asked if he had time on Saturday, and he said he had some people coming to his home to fix something, But! if I could be there at 8am and brng the supplies lol… (new breaks and 5 quarts of oil and fiter, he could do it… So this morning I was at the auto shop at 7:30 am picked the stuff and went right over, he was already waiting for me… Such a nice guy, my friend was right! he is honest and I paid less than half including EVERYTHING! even what I bought, and I bought, the expensive oil, brakes and all that, less than half of what I got quoted yesterday, and that did not include the oil change at the other place either. they wanted $ 440.00 just for breaks. they guy told me I need it, rotors for the breaks, NOT TRUE! That’s why I gave Marlo a $ 20.00 tip for being so awesome!!! he gave me nice hot coffee, turned on the heater and I was watching t.v. hahaha I will tell you this, give him a try, because you will not! be disappointed at all. he is very nice and I took a bunch of his business card to give to my friends and family, because this guy, will be my new mechanic, and I highly recommend him… Trust me I never recommend any one who will try to take advantage of any one… Now I have new brakes that work excellent, new oil in my car, I’m very happy :) and I know you will too. Sorry I made this so long, but really, this guy is awesome!!!

Brought in my BMW for an alignment and did an excellent job! Fast service and gave me a great price. He went the extra mile and made sure it was perfect. Highly recommend!

Took my ’99 Customized Dodge Grand Caravan to Marlo’s last month. It had been struck while parked overnight. His diagnosis was spot on and super honest. Helped me buy my own parts for cheaper. Once they arrived he got it done that day, in a few hours I had my car running tip top. While I was there I saw he also worked a lot of classic cars-​knows his stuff.

First rate shop! Marlo is a nice guy who knows his stuff. Fixed
my way out of alignment car in a short time. Car now drives great.

This is a great place to get your car aligned brakes done ect. The owner Marlo is very nice and does an excellent job and has a lot of experience and is very professional. I am very happy with his service

Ive had good experiences here at Marlos.
They can fix what Chatsworth Tire either can’t, won’t. Or half asses!

Marlon, frame and alignment did not do the job that I took my car in for. I took my car to have my disk brakes installed and the kit that I bought from a vendor he works with all the time, came with the wrong pushrod for master cylinder.
Instead of stopping, and calling me about it. He installed it and now the pedal is 5 inches too high. He said that that’s the kit I ordered from his vendor. He took no responsibility. He wanted me to pay him again to do the job, another $ 350 dollars. The steering after that was never good, when I took it back.
The next thing was a real alignment, camber, caster and toe. He lied about doing the camber on the alignment. He told me he shimmed the upper arms, but there was no evidence of the threads being adjusted at all. They were just as rusted as they were when I took it there. He measured the camber in front of me, and purposely did the wrong measurement so that I thought it was withn specs. I didn’t say anything at the time. I’m just taking my car elsewhere. The job had to be re done. I’m disputing my credit card charge. This place is sheister heaven. Do not go there. You will be disappointed. I now realized why this place is always empty. This place has no intention of doing a great job, just collecting and assuming there will be no repeat business. Relying on new customers only. Not a good business model.

Service sucks. Equipment outdated. Stay away. I made an appointment here. Once I arrived, Marlon was talking to a customer. His son just minding his own business without greeting the customer and when Marlon was done with the customer, he just hopped in my car and took it for a drive without even greeting. Came back, did a couple adjustments and that was it. Now my car makes a noise every so often on my driver side like two metals rubbing together. He had said to bring it back so he can check it out, but I think not. I rather pay 60 somewhere else than going back to him to check it for free. STAY AWAY !!!

Appreciate Marlo and his good attitude. Say hey to the helpers Marlo!

Awesome place. I’ve taken both my cars to Marlo and been extremely pleased with the results both times. Easily one of the best bargains in alignments in the valley. His prices are really good and he gets the work done right. Definitely plan on going to Marlo again and again.

I wouldn’t let this guy put air in my tires, but if he did I have no doubt he would charge me $ 20. I brought my 1967 Mustang in for new suspension front and rear and also do some frame rail repair. I paid half the quote with credit card… I should have ran when he asked I also sent him a check for additional cash so he could pay his son (apparently it takes time to get the money from VISA into his personal account). He kept calling and upping the price by hundreds of dollars at a time over the next few weeks. I finally said STOP! I am coming to pick it up as is. When I did the work (specifically welding) was shoddy and the car was still a danger to drive. I have since taken the car and had complete floor pans and frame rails replaced (not repaired as he was jacking around with) for half the money I paid him. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU ARE HOPING TO GET RIPPED OFF! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Excellent service. Very professional.10 stars

No one does brakes & alignment like Marlon! (Except his dad — Marlo.) People spend a lot of money on things that make their cars look fast and go fast. Fortunately, guys like Marlon don’t make stopping fast an expensive luxury.
I brought in my ’65 Mustang Convertible in 1999 at the unanimous advice of members of a local Mustang club, after another mechanic (now out of business) told me I needed to replace the steering gear. Marlon took it for a short drive, filled the steering gear with fluid, took another drive, and then sent me on my way — FREE OF CHARGE!
Since then, he’s done all my brake work, alignment, and suspension. He even installed some modern safety & performance enhancements, but camouflaged them so well that you’d never know they didn’t come out of the 1965 Ford parts bin.
If you care about stopping, and you care about your car — go see Marlon.
