60 Minute Tune

I had an issue starting up our commuter car on Sunday night and, after calling AAA over for a jump start, only to be told that it was an issue with the starter, I was hoping I only needed to work from home a single day and wouldn’t be charged an arm/​leg for the service. I called them first thing Monday morning, described what I knew, and was told to bring it in — there was a good chance it could be fixed that day. Knowing the saying «Desperation is a stinky cologne», I was worried there would be a lot of little things they’d try to fix and give me a fat bill. Instead, they did their assessment and were completely honest with me: it was only the battery, plus a busted radiator cap which needed to be replaced. They charged an extremely reasonable price and had my car ready to go by 5:00 PM.
Honest, thorough, and reasonable — I give them my highest recommendation.

I’ve been going here for years. And my dad has been taking our family cars here all my life. In fact, I’ll never take any of my cars anywhere else. These guys are the absolute best. Both in terms of technical understanding as well as customer service they are amazing. I only go in for service a few times a year and everyone always remembers me and references me by name, asks about my family, etc. I used to live nearby making it easy, but I still now make the trip from the south valley because I won’t go anywhere else. Well worth it.
I never wrote a review before since I just felt this was how a business should be run. However my experience today was extraordinary. Not only was my car taken care of for less than I was quoted, but they also washed my car INSIDE AND OUT. The level of service is absolutely amazing and I simply cannot praise them enough.

I’ve taken many cars to 60 Minute Tune over the years. Great, friendly service. You’ll get a call directly from whichever mechanic is working on your car, to tell you exactly what work is needed. I love being able to get a ride home, and get picked up again when the car is ready. Customer service at its best!

Finding a good mechanic is not easy. I had a guy in Van Nuys I really liked but he’s pretty far away. After asking around I got several referrals to Dave at 60 Minute Tune. One, is nice. Two is better. Three is validation. I must have received a dozen direct recommendations on my
post from people that have been customers for 10−15−20 years.
Now that’s almost unheard of these days.
So I’ve now brought all my vehicles in for service and I couldn’t be more please. Great service, very competent technicians, and extremely fair pricing. And all very conveniently located for me. They even do warranty work and will bill the provider directly which most independent shops can’t or won’t do.
I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re in the area, this is the place to go!

I just referred, yet again, another friend to 60 Minute Tune and realized that I haven’t ever written a review. Shame on me.
I’ve been having my cars serviced at this place for many years. I go there because I know for a fact that they are honest, reasonably price, and the work is done correctly. On one occasion I had to take my car to the dealer. They said I needed a bunch of work. I thanked them and went to 60 Minute Tune where my car was examined. I was told I didn’t need any of the work cited by the dealer.
Dave, the owner, is almost always there and oversees the repairs. Trini, the desk person, is an absolute doll and has worked there forever.
The only reason I will take my cars anywhere is when I have a warranty with the dealer. Even then I cringe because I really only trust 60 Minute Tune.
I don’t really trust auto mechanics… except the ones that work here. 60 Minute is the best!

At a time when customer service is almost a thing of the past it still lives and flourishes at an auto-​mechanics garage. In Granada Hills, California there is a garage by the name of 60 Minute Tune. Even though, in general, mechanics have less than a stellar reputation, 60 Minute Tune is unquestionably a positive exception. Putting aside the fact they are honest, friendly, considerate, exhibit superb workmanship, and price their jobs fairly, they do the little things that are consistently overlooked by a majority of today’s companies.
My wife decided it was time to bang into another car and knock her side mirror off. She hasn’t damaged her car in a couple of months, so it was time. She took the car into 60 Minute Tune and they told her they would call her when the mirror they ordered for her comes in.
Three days later 60 Minute Tune called my wife to say the parts hadn’t arrived yet, but they are on order and they didn’t want her to be concerned.
It’s not a monumental gesture, but it is the height of customer service. 60 Minute Tune hadn’t promised the parts would arrive in three days. Calling my wife was a courtesy motivated by kindness and consideration of their customer. To me that is the finest example of customer service.
If there was ever a time we needed a customer service role model it’s today, and aren’t we fortunate. .. we now have one in Granada Hills.

A friend referred me to 60 Minute Tune almost twenty years ago. Haven’t been anywhere else since. Dave, Tony, Bud, Trini, and the entire crew have always treated me with the upmost courtesy. They are respectful, honest, and extremely reasonable. ANYONE who posts they had an issue with 60 Minute Tune, is expecting something unreasonable, or impossible.

I recommend this place to everyone I know. Dave, Julie the whole crew are disgustingly honest great people. Thank you mr. lee for referring me to them. You guys do great affordable work and I’ll never go anywhere else. Thank you. Hi dave! ;) lol
They do get busy so call Julie for appointments. Kk bye-​bye

My mom went into this location only for its convenience one afternoon when her car overheated and left as loyal customer. The people here are so friendly, the mechanic was honest and told her want did/​did not need to be replaced, and they offered a shuttle for her to get to and from work with no issue. We will continue to recommend them to ANYONE asking for a reliable, trustworthy, and friendly mechanic. Thanks Dave, Tony, and Julie. You guys are the BEST!

This place is great! They are so friendly, communicative and honest. I totally trust them and will be going back.

Been coming here for years with my dad. The best mechanics around. They won’t lie to make a buck like a lot of shops. Definitely come here !

Okay. Where do I start?!? I’ve been here three times and today would have been the fourth. My car broke down and i towed it to a street horizontal to their shop. I knew it would be okay to park here because i’v done it before and they’ve jumped my car and drove it to their shop.
It also happened to be Friday after 6 and they don’t work on most weekends so i had to leave my car for the weekend. Today was different and here’s why. I knew I had either an alternator or a fuel injection/​pump issue and told them that the last time when they replaced my alternator, the replaced alternator wasn’t working properly. I know these things have a 1 year warranty and they said that they’ve placed it and will send me the receipt in the mail but handed me a receipt of a battery change that they did on the spot. When i mentioned this to the lady in the front she got defensive and said that they would never do a thing like that and that she is the only person that works the front office which obviously isn’t true. The guy came out to the front and straight up refused to even check out if the car had a battery issue or a fuel injection issue. He just said that since the vehicle isn’t on the property that they couldn’t touch it although that did exactly that 2 years ago. I think he had a different agenda. He wanted me to get my car towed and bring it to the shop which was 50 yards from where i parked. I couldn’t believe they would treat a repeat customer like that. So, based on principal i left and got my towed to another mechanic. These guys pretend to be the all American mechanic shop and truly cares about the customers but they’re full of shit. Go else where.

I can always depend on 60 Minute Tune to tell me honestly what is wrong with my car and to fix it correctly. Dave and Trini always try to go the extra mile to make sure my car is ready when promised, and Bud is always there to give me a ride to and from when I leave it for servicing. They are usually quite busy, and with good reason… their service can’t be beat, so appointments are often necessary. My family has three cars we presently service there, and I won’t let any other mechanics touch them. They’re not the cheapest, but they’re the best, and they can be absolutely trusted to tell you what is wrong with your car, or, what is not wrong. They won’t make up things just to pad the bill. Most of my visits there are just for oil changes and check ups, and most of my bills are minimal oil change charges. I get the same friendly service either way.

Friendliest auto repair in the area and convenient location! I struggled to find a place that I felt comfortable with when I moved here from Iowa, fortunately I found this gem right up the street! Service has always been excellent. Bud gives you a ride home if you aren’t able to stay and wait for your car! Make an appointment though, they are a busy shop!

I am new to Unilocal,but I had such an amazing experience at 60 Minute Tune that I had to write a review!!! Not only did they repair my SUV, but they did it with a friendly and professional manner! Being a woman, it is important to feel confident that you can trust your repair shop! Dave and his staff not only make you feel comfortable, but actually make you look forward to your next service! I highly recommend this facility if you live in Granada Hills or not! It is worth my drive from Santa Clarita!!! Definitely a 5 star!!!

This place is awesome, great work, the coolest people, they’ll take you home or drop you off somewhere while your vehicle’s being worked on, Bud the owner took me to pick up my two dogs at the groomers and the dogs just hung out with me in the office for a couple hours until my brakes were done, will never go anywhere else.

Sixty Minutes Tune is where I have my cars fixed.
Excellent workmanship, fast and always done correctly.
Very friendly, hospitable staff, like family.
It is 20 miles from my home but worth the drive.
Fair prices as well. Why go anywhere else?

I know this is a little late, but I took my Jeep here a couple months ago for new brakes and fluid change. All of the staff were wonderful and had awesome personalities that you can feel comfortable with and jive well. I was worried because I was told at another place that I needed all new rotors (What am I rich all the sudden?) and Mike calls me up totally honest and say’s, «Nope, just the front brakes and fluid change». (PHEW WW so much cheaper!) I am so happy that I chose 60 Minute tune! They are wonderful! And a shout out to Mikes DAD! He was amazing giving me a ride home! Thank you!

This is the best and ONLY shop I will take my car to. I currently live near by but I used to drive up from Long Beach just to get my oil changes done here.
First of all, the receptionist is amazing! Not only does she get me taken care of every time, and fast, I don’t think I’ve had to tell her my name or remind her what car I drive in years! She just knows as soon as I walk in — that’s customer service on a whole other level!
Second, they are honest and up front about everything. I’ve never felt pushed into anything and both Dave and Mike always explain everything to me before asking me to make a decision.
You can’t do better for your car then taking it here!

Thanks to Dave, Mike, Trini and everyone at 60 minute tune for their outstanding work.
My ’02 jeep wrangler needed a complete engine replacement. From the word ‘go’ it only took those guys three days to put in a completely new engine, including the day it took for delivery. They did a truly amazing job, my jeep runs like a new car, plus Dave made certain to keep the cost at exactly what he quoted me, even throwing in extras to make certain the job was done right! My jeep even had a full cleaning when I picked her up. Those guys will go above and beyond to do the job right, it’s a rare thing to find a place take such pride in their work and this is the place. I highly recommend bringing your car here, you can’t go wrong and you’ll be impressed by the quality service!
