Karen has been there for me and my family all the way. As a young guy who doesnt know that much about cars (though my friends do) my family has been going to her since THEY were younger. My dad still uses her service to this day, and that is how i met her. She doesnt overcharge, is always friendly, and without pressure tells you exactly what needs to be fixed, and what can wait for another day. Plus if you ever have a question on what something even IS or MEANS, she will explain it in simple english and with pictures (I lOVE... read more

Saved me $800 – Karen is an honest business owner. When 6 different mechanics were telling me to change my catalytic converter and they wanted 600-800 for it, or I would not pass the smog test, she took her sweet time to explain how that was misdiagnosed, and helped me get my car going and pass the smog test. There was nothing wrong with the catalytic converter, but one part needed to be adjusted. I drive an old Chevy trucker and everyone wanted to take advantage of me. I will not go anywhere else.

An Honest Mechanic! – Karen has not only written a book on auto repair, but she also does monthly classes for women on auto repair as well. She's thorough and honest. Her prices are always fair and I will be a loyal customer for life, as will all of my friends that go to her.

Honest Work, Honest Prices – Ive been going to Karen for all my auto needs for over 15 years. Most of my friends go to her too because she is honest, has good prices and really cares about you and your car. One of the best things about going to Karen is she offers loaner cars for $15/day- shes totally got you covered. She also delivers workshops to teach you about your car so you KNOW how to take care of it to prevent needless repairs. If you are short on cash, she gives you the real deal on what you need done to your car no... read more

Did terrible work on my car and did not honor the lifetime warranty on the radiator that was replaced. – I had my radiator replaced at North Hollywood Discount Muffler after a friend recommended them to me. At first I thought I'd found a mechanic I could feel comfortable with. However, in the end this was one of the worst car repair experiences I've ever had. After North Hollywood Discount Muffler's replaced my radiator - with a lifetime warrantied radiator - I had non-stop problems. Over the course of 4-5 months after the r... read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE! – I took my car to Karen at North Hollywood Discount Mufflers and Brakes for an inspecion for purchase. Though the car had a lot of miles on it she told me that it was in fantastic condition and was a bargain. The vehicle blew a head gasket 3 weeks later and now needs to have either an engine rebuild or a replacement motor. I sent the car back to Karen who after telling me that a break in the radiator had caused the engine damage, recommended an engine rebuild, new radiator etc, etc, etc. She then ... read more

Honest Service for an Honest Price – Not only have I taken my car here many times, but now all my friends do as well (and none of us live in the valley). I once thought my brakes were bad because they were squeking super loud, but they did a inspection and said nothing was wrong and they didn't charge me. They also feature rental cars for when your car is in their shop for as low as $15 a day! PLUS a woman mechanic runs the shop and teaches mechanic classes at LACC!!!
