L.a.'s Best Auto Mechanic

By: Rick London

Muscle cars, though still popular, are not what they were when I was a teen in the early 1970's. That is when I first began racing them. I was only 15 and was behind the wheel of a monster Ford Torino four speed 8 cylinder with Headman headers and dual exhaust. Gas was cheaper than candy. I was hell on wheels, so I thought.

Sunday was race day, and every weekday and Saturdays, those of us who raced spent most of the time tweaking our engines, when we weren't playing a lousy version of "House Of The Rising Sun" in our garage with our very bad bands. I would head outside my hometown of Hattiesburg, Ms and race that Torino down the quarter-mile track at Hub City Raceway. I'll never forget their radio ads with the announcer yelling "Sunday, Sunday, Sundayyyyyyyyyyyy!", with each Sunday getting louder and louder.

The question always arose among fellow racers, "Who was the best mechanic in town". Since that time, I sold or wrecked and/or rebuilt about seven other race cars, probably my fastest being white Pontiac Tras-Am with a 454 cubic inch engine in it. It was the second year they came out and Pontiac only made them in that color. My shelf was aligned with trophies, thanks to the Pontiac/Chrysler Motor Company and my quick reflexes at reading rpm's and shifting.

Many years have passed since my days of youth, yet I still seek out the best mechanic. I now live in Los Angeles, and I accidentally stumbled across him, merely by accident. Not only was he the best but the most honest.

It was on my newly bought used Saturn that was perfect in every other way (sans the clutch). I had even driven it across the country with no problems.

AAA towed it to a recommended man of whom I'd never heard, named Vladimir Morsach, a Russian Immigrant now in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. He knew exactly what the problem was and quoted me several hundred dollars lessthan the mechanic on the other side of town, in Woodland Hills where the car sat on the curb until the AAA friendly driver picked it up within minutes and took it away.

The phone rang about noon the next day. It was Vlad. He simply said, "A few hours...come on by and get your car. It will be running fine."

So off to Vlad's I went with a friend. I still had my out of state checks as I'd just moved from Arkansas, and since there had been some unauthorized charges on my Mastercard, I had canceled it and could not use it. He had to take my word that the check was good. Vlad was trusting and compassionate. He took my check. I was astounded. This was not the usual modus operandi of Business L.A.

By far, based on my experience, the best mechanic, at least my choice, in America, is not even a native-born American. But don't let that fool you. He fixed it as professionally and courteously as anyone with which you could hope to deal.

In addition, he said, if there was anything else wrong with the car, he would let me know before fixing it. I thought "Uh oh...what is coming next", based on my experience with so many mechanics with which I'd worked in the past. He called me again to let me know it was only the clutch. Now that is honesty, and certainly worth driving a few miles (or in my case having it towed, to get it fixed better, cheaper, and from a very nice person, Vladimir Morsach). Welcome to America, Vlad! We are very glad you are here!

Vladimir's garage is at 18440 Vanowen Ave, Reseda, Ca in the Valley. His phone is 818-719-8610. He's great to talk to also. Sounds like I'm his p.r. agent, I'm not. I simply am a very happy customer and glad to know he is so nearby. Since that time I've talked to others who have had similar experiences with this engine-magician. I have a feeling you will too. Keep in mind, I am picky about my engine. I raced cars. I want someone who knows his stuff, and I can smell one who doesn't. Vlad knows it better than anyone, regardless of the make.

In the process of writing this piece, some news came to me about Vlad that I found interesting so decided to add it as a footnote. he is a mechanical engineer, went to the one of the best University's in Russia and had many years of experience working with cars from every continent. Vlad is not in good terms with languages, so he feels, but I understood him very well. But he believes he can't learn English and states that he'd better do what he knows best and it is repairing cars, remodeling, and more... For him, it is NOT just about cars, it is about his passion, but mostly: his honesty and integrity. He guarantees his work for one year and if your car is NOT working properly and has same problem he will repair it for free.
