“Castle Automotive is the the most honest, consistent, thorough and patient shop I've ever found, and I have been using them now for years.”

“I appreciate how quick and attentive they were. If you’re a female this place will make you feel safe. I was driving around Van Nuys with a flat tire trying to find a shop that provides genuine good services, I finally pulled up to Castle Automotive after trying other spots that were ignoring or dismissing me when I pulled up. Castle Automotive automatically saw and directed me in. Castle Automotive is welcoming to all.”

“Thankfully I was not that far from them when I needed a battery replacement. They were able to squeeze me in. In and out in under 1/2 hr. Amazing. But they are generally very busy. Been going here for 10yrs. They're professional, honest and offer fair prices. Make an appointment if you can.

“I had called multiple places that quoted me astronomical prices (for things I did not need) before finding Castle Automotive. They were honest, they explained to me what was wrong with the car and treated me with respect! As a young female, I cannot recommend that shop enough!!! Thank you.”

“Phenomenal service at Castle Automotive! I brought in a used car I was interested in for a pre-purchase inspection. Within 15 minutes, Castle Automotive contacted me and showed me dangerous amounts of rust on the bottom of the vehicle. Castle Automotive saved me thousands and didn't even charge me the full amount for the pre-purchase inspection. I'd highly recommend Castle Automotive for their diligent service and professionalism.

“I bought 4 tires here and immediately I drive home and there’s a problem with the tire sensor. I call immediately and bring my car back in the very next day and it costs another 120 bucks to fix that. A couple of months later the sensor light comes on again. These guys worked on my car and i have more problems with it now than before. Don’t go here”
