Looking for Glendale/Burbank CA Mechanic

I'm looking for a good diagnostic mechanic - I was recently burned by an independent mechanic who was only good at suggesting needed and un-needed parts replacement, but not at diagnosing problems. The dealer is so expensive, so a good independent mechanic would be great. Thanks!

If you can describe what's going on or if you have a check engine light you could probably troubleshoot the issue here with some of these guys.

I've lived long enough in OC to know that there aren't too many places around here for auto service. If you're willing to drive, ProTrux in San Marcos is an awesome place.

Come by the "meet and greet" this Sunday at Dave and Buster's at Santa Anita. More details on the Offroad trip area.

I'm bringing my buddy who is a mechanic and he has his own shop in Chatsworth. Whether he'll be cheaper I can't tell you but honest and dependable he will be.

Try out his shop if you get a chance; it's called Orsportz.

Can't help you with a mechanic out there, but I am sure if you wanted to diagnose anything yourself or get a good idea of what is going on before you take it to any mechanic, there are alot of good minds on YT that can walk you through it.

Thank you

Thanks for the referrals! I think I'll check out Main Street Automotive for my next service since it's a bit closer to my place. I don't have anything going on with my truck right now...thankfully. Sorry I missed the meet and greet last weekend, I was up in Seattle for turkey day.
