Glendale Automotive

They were very helpful! My car was like the car from hell, so many problems and they just kept coming! Fred, Jeremy and the guys at Glendale did their thing and helped get my car safe and drivable again. After I brought it in the first time I found new problem after getting it back and they got me back in quick and fixed those problems too! Anytime I called with an issue they were willing to listen and check things out for me, pricing was fair and the work is great! I would definitely recommend Glendale automotive if you're having car issues. I finally have a car I feel confident driving and I don't have to worry about breaking down on me!

Fred and Jeremy did us bigly with our Jeep Liberty transmission problem. You can tell by the many positive reviews posted that Fred runs "the old school" small business type operation that was the standard for many years and still works today. Service and value are what repeat customers are all about. Thanks Fred

This small business, auto repair shop is very honest and upfront about the work they’re doing and the cost. As a young woman, I’m often worried that auto shops are going to rip me off, but I’m not worried about it here. After diagnosing the issues, they give you a chance to ask questions. They were honest with me about what really needed to be done and what could wait, helping me to lower my overall cost. One time they missed something but were very quick to make it right and get it taken care of in a generous and customer-prioritized way.

Fred and his team are amazing! He took on a job with my 2010 Wrangler that many other shops would not take on because it was very labor intensive. He was very upfront with the estimate and even drove me back downtown after I had my jeep towed there-he asked if I had a ride home, I told him I would uber and insisted on driving me back downtown. I absolutely recommend Glendale Automotive to anyone I know in need and I have a life long shop I will go to! He even gave me references for a place that was closer to home! Who does that?

I love Glendale Automotive. They are the kindest people I have ever met. Whenever I have anxiety about a problem my car has, they make me feel like I will make it through. They have definitely saved my life with their help. Their work is also amazing and quality-they are honest, knowledgeable, and take my concerns seriously.

Wonderful mechanic shop. Be kind when going. 🥰

Glendale Automotive has been such a great find. Fred and his team go out of there way to take care of their customers. They are honest, reliable and even educate you about how to better care for your vehicle. They try to give you a heads up on maintenance that could need attention and do not pressure you on things that could wait. Very refreshing. I would recommend Glendale Automotive to anyone looking for the above. I will always go to them for needed maintenance and service.

Absolute gem of a garage in our local neighborhood. Guys there are more than accommodating and super friendly. I’ve taken my Jeep here multiple times and have always been more than satisfied with the service and communication, most of all, reasonable pricing.

Great service, been in times of need with repairs and they did a great job.

They really know their stuff and don't cut corners. Not the cheapest but I don't want cheap, I want quality. That is what they are, from their staff to their service.

I was nervous when getting my car in because I've had many experiences of mechanics trying to up-sell me things I didn't need. Walking away from Glendale, I couldn't be happier with them. They were excellent all around. They didn't try and up-sell me anything, even when I called back to ask questions before I picked up my car. The owner was also in the shop and even offered to stay open a couple minutes so I could get my car since I was running behind. When I got there he didn't rush me to pay or try and get me to leave. He let me ask questions and even took me to the back where they kept the part they had replaced on my car. He showed me how the part worked and what a clean part looked like. When I left I was excited, the proof was in the car, it ran better than when I bought it used a couple years ago. I scheduled for my spouse's car to be taken in the next week. We both had excellent experiences.

I love Glendale and I will continue to bring all my cars to them. They are knowledgeable, honest, professional, and friendly. Thank you, Glendale.

Best place ever. They had plenty of opportunity to rip me off and they were upstanding. Amazing prices, very helpful. Truly honest people. Very fast and professional. They are were also very sweet and respectful.

While traveling into Indianapolis from out of town, my mother's car began losing significant oil. I called them based on online reviews. They stated they were 2 weeks behind, but suggested a towing service and promised to take a look asap. A week later, it was done and diagnosed with a hole in an oil line. They were quick, courteous, and fairly priced throughout. When I picked it up the battery was dead (it was clearly a really old battery.) Jeremy ordered a new battery, stayed through lunch, and had us back on the in just over an hour. If you're in the Indy area, I couldn't recommend them enough!

Fred (owner) and the team have been extremely knowledgeable, fair and timely... They've seen my old clunker quite a handful of times over the past 2 years. First was when my car died after going through standing water during a storm not far from the shop (thanks to our poorly draining Indy streets...). I had the car towed to Glendale auto where they inspected the car, got it running again, and even fixed a dislodged underhood trim panel all by the next morning... did not charge me!

I have brought back numerous times for loud, rattling engine performance which they helped mitigate and extend the life of the car. They even brought me back into the garage to show me a faulty part. Past mechanics have never taken the time to show me the actual problem, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, a brake failure has left my old car smoking, so it's now time to move on and buy a new one. Fred offered to take a look at whatever new car I grab (if I buy used).

BOTTOM LINE- I would recommend this mechanic because they genuinely cared about trust and to be as fair as possible. I never felt like I overpaid even after my myriad of non-maintenance related issues.

I have been taking my 02 Honda Accord to Fred and his team my entire adult life. I owe them a 5-star review at the very least, and will refer anyone who asks to them. They are the best! A few examples of their excellent service: 1) My car's sunroof was draining improperly and causing water to pool on my interior floor. They first came to me with a costly fix involving taking apart the dashboard, but when they could see I'd have a hard time affording that fix, they came up with an ingenious solution involving a WINE CORK! This fixed the problem and with minimal cost to me. Amazing. 2) Last year I was deciding whether to fix an oil leak for $1,000+ or buy a new car. Fred and his team told me they were confident they could get my car to 200k miles at least (we're at 177k now). My level of trust and confidence in them decided it for me: we're going to keep this car going as long as we can with the experience of the guys at Glendale Automotive! Thank you for everything you've done for me, my car, and my family's fleet of cars over the years!!!

In town on business. Car started acting funny. Looked up auto shops near me, and Glendale's was close and had great reviews. I called them up, the owner answered and said he understood my circumstances and said he'd get me right in. He did just that. I was in and out kn no time. Great Price!! I wish I had this shop in my hometown! Fair, honest, good work and quick! What else can you ask for? Don't hesitate...call Glendale Automotive!

I can say with a great deal of confidence that they are officially my go to mechanics and if you go you won't be disappointed!! They were able to diagnose that I needed an AC compressor and fix it in one day, none of that overnight crap, with a great price as well ( compared to the 2 other places I went to). Fred and his partners are friendly and polite I couldn't have wished for a better experience.

This is the best place !
I will recommend to any and everyone!
They fixed my car,after another mechanic told me it was not worth what it would take him to find out what was wrong😁😁😁 They also changed my oil at a fair price! I went from crying to Big smile I get to keep my little green car! She's running great!! They are the best!!!

I have gone to this repair shop (which is just blocks from my house) many times. They have ALWAYS gotten the repairs right. I switched cars with my sister who lives about 50 miles outside of Chicago so that I could bring her car to Glendale Auto because I know they will get to the root of the issue and get it fixed right. I have taken 3 different cars to these folks over the past few years and have never been disappointed. Great to know that some people still believe in an honest days pay ...for an honest days work. :)

My starter went out and I’m from out of town. They got my car looked at, fixed and sent me on my way the very next day. Thank you Fred and to his mechanics for their timely and incredible service. If anybody needs any help, I recommend they come to Glendale. They are fair and extremely helpful. Thank you again guys

This has been our trusted auto mechanic for going on 3 years now. I recommend them often and always have a good experience. Fred runs a great shop with reasonable and fair pricing! Plus they offer one way transportation back to your home or office which is an amazing perk when you're a one car family.
