Oxtail Auto Repair

I called up to find out how much it would cost for an oil change and to have a trailer hitch installed on my car. The guy quotes me like 50-60 for the oil change. When I asked about the trailer hitch he said like 30. When i get there, I showed him the trailer hitch and he claims it would cost $150 to install the trailer hitch. He says there was a miscommunication and says the 30 was for the oil change if I brought my own supplies for the job. It is a matter of screwing on some bolts in. The job requires 3 sockets and I do not have 2 of them. It is not a hard task to get done, you just need the right tools. The fact that he would try and charge $150 shows the type of business man he is.

Sold me a car that they fixed and was in good condition, but I had to take it to another mechanic where I dropped another 3k on it. Be careful with their service or purchasing a car from them.

Babak helped me with my leaking radiator on my golf GTI. He was very friendly and diagnosed my car quickly and had it fixed by the next day. He charged me fairly and went the extra mile helping me with my oil as well. I'll definitely be back if I ever have any other issues, and I'll recommend oxtail to all my friends and family!

Oxtail is still the only mechanic in the Valley that I trust. Babak is honest and won't try to rip you off. His shop is clean and has state of the art equipment. I always refer him to anyone I know that has car issues and know they are in good hands when they get there.

New!!! There is a saying in Spanish that . second times around are never good, however my second experience with Oxtail Auto Repair Shop was even better than the first. Basicly my car was torn apart in an attempt to steal it. In this case, Mr. Babak had the opportunity to show off his knowledge, mechanical skills, as well as his art of diplomacy in dealing with the insurance company as the repairs were well over $11,000. As soon as the funding arrived from the insurance company, Mr. Babak, went quickly to work essentially rebuilding my car from the ground up. Now my little 2020 Hyundai Tucson is back on the road and incredibly so- as good as new. Once again, I cannot sing enough and most well earned and deserved praises to Mr. Babak, as an extremely knowledgeable mechanic, and very hard working and honest man in his profession, in Oxtail Auto Repair Shop on Topham Street in Tarzana. Mr. Babak is a very fine gentleman, as well as an excellent, knowledgeable. and so importantly honest car mechanic. I arrived at his garage as a widow, alone, and nursing a broken hip, and instead of being preyed upon, as a solitary women, in a galaxy of automobile repair, which so often occurs. I was given, gratefully, a chair to sit upon, and then, even with more appreciation a ride, by Mr.Babak himself, to the door of my own home. The turn-around of the repairs on my car were done in less than 24 hours, and were performed both seamlessly and effortlessly. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Babaks mechanical car service to anyone seeking a new car repair shop experience, as I too was a first time customer of his. Also the All American private towing, service, which Mr. Babak offers is in line with Mr. Babaks own expertise. That is to say it is efficient, reliable and affordable. Services: Electrical, Battery
