This place rocks!! Customer service is king, patience with my questions and these guys know what they're doing. Nice to go to a new place for service and to have complete confidence in them..

Absolutely the nicest, friendliest, fairest and easiest auto repair shop I have ever dealt with. Fred and his guys are awesome 😎. Would give them 10 stars if I could.

We had a great experience at Glendale Automotive! Jeremy was extremely transparent about the problem we were having, worked hard on a great solution that wasn’t going to cost as as much, and kept us in the loop as they were working on our car. Would recommend for anyone new to the area looking for an honest and trustworthy place to go for car troubles!

Take everything you think you know about “auto mechanics” and throw it out the window. This business is one of the few gems left in the industry where customer service, confidence, experience, creativity, and most importantly integrity are required of eavery employee. We have been customers for over 20 years, and Fred runs a tight ship where he personally stands behind the estimates and work they do and is truly a partner you need if you have a car.

Always appreciate doing business here!

Brought my car in for wheel bearing replacements. They found that one of the rear axles also needed work. Instead of combining the labor cost of the wheel bearing and axle they charged me full labor for the axle even though they already had done most of the labor while they were replacing the wheel bearing. This cost me about $600 extra. I would recommend getting quotes at multiple shops before committing to this one because they will overcharge by any means.

Honest repair shop. They do exist!!

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

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!

First impression of Glendale Automotive was good. Pleased with first few service visits; but then, when we became an established regular customer, we were given a brake job quote of nearly $700 on a Ford Focus. Based on my experience and a little research, I knew that price was extremely high. We ended up having another small, long-established garage do the work with premium ceramic brake pads and two new front discs for around $300.

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.

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.

Best auto shop! Great work, reasonable prices, trustworthy, integrity


Dec 07, 2023

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.


Dec 07, 2023

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

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?


Dec 07, 2023

Great service, fair prices. Use these guys!


Dec 07, 2023

Had my brakes replaced, these guys are the best!!!


Dec 07, 2023

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. 🥰


Dec 07, 2023

They gave me a good deal on what i needed fixed and were very nice and communicative. I’ll most likely be going back for future repairs.


Dec 07, 2023

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.


Dec 07, 2023

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.

If anybody needs any help, I recommend they come to Glendale. They are fair and extremely helpful. Thank you again guys

Dec 07, 2022

THIS SHOP AS A WHOLE TREATED ME LIKE A HUMAN BEING, KNOWLEDGBLE, RESPECTFUL, FRIENDLY, AND FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE ASSIGNMENT GIVEN. FRED WAS AMAZING AND A TRUE MAN OF HIS WORD FIRST AND FORMOST. I'M A WOMEN THAT DOESN'T HAVE ALOT OF SUPPORT WHEN IT COMES TO MY VEHICLE. I APPRECIATE FRED GOING UP AND BEYOND TO MAKE SURE I WAS SATISFIED AND EDUCATED. THERE WERE SOME MISCOMMUNICATIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF MY INITIAL SERVICE BUT THROUGH IT ALL HE MADE SURE I WAS TAKEN CARE OF. SO FRED A BIG SHOUT OUT ****GOD SEES YOUR EFFORTS SO I KNOW YOU WILL BE FOREVER BLESSED AS YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO HELP AND WAIVE FEES FOR SOMEONE YOU DIDN’T KNOW, ALSO YOU HEARD ME, YOU LISTEN THIS SPEAKS VOLUMES AS THIS CONFIRMS HOW YOU HANDLE BUSINESS. THANK YOU AND YOU WILL SEE ME AGAIN.


Dec 07, 2022

They were professional, honest and client centered. Their service reminded me of the service centers that I visited in my youth with my parents. It was not about them make a dollar, but the client's well-being.


Dec 07, 2022

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!

The staff where very helpful and informative, extremely nice and sportive. I will most definitely go back to them. Thank you. May God bless you all. Martha Jones
