What we do
From a check engine light to a full respray.
Most shops do one thing. Sako's handles the whole car, so you're not shuttled between a mechanic, a body shop and a smog station.
02
Engine & Mechanical
Tune-ups to full engine replacements and rebuilds. Brakes, suspension, cooling, tires. European, Japanese and domestic.
Smog Check
California smog inspections done on site, plus the repairs if your car needs help passing.
Electrical Diagnosis
Warning lights, no-starts, parasitic drains and wiring gremlins traced to the actual cause.
Towing
Car won't move? We can arrange a tow straight to the bay. Just call.
Upholstery & Detail Work
Interior repairs and the small fixes that make an older car feel new again.
Why Northridge keeps coming back
The kind of shop people drive across town for.
Regulars bring in every car in the family, and some have been coming for over 25 years. One customer drives in from Hollywood. Another trusts Sako with three Jaguars, including a full XKR restoration.
- Straight answers. You hear what it needs and what it costs before work starts. No surprise charges.
- Dealer-grade work. Dealer parts on European cars like Mercedes, Jaguar and Alfa Romeo, without dealer pricing.
- Little extras. Customers report minor unrelated touch-ups handled at no charge, and loaner cars on bigger jobs when available.
- One relationship. Mechanical, body, paint and smog with the same people who know your car.

Reviews
4.8 stars from the neighborhood.

★★★★★"No hidden fees or surprise charges. What stood out most was their honesty and integrity."
★★★★★"Mechanical complicated repairs, body and paint work, smog, towing. It's a one stop shop with the best service."
