“I went to Boulevard Auto thinking my car issue was going to be a major (and expensive) fix, but Fahad and his team diagnosed it quickly and took care of it for a really fair price. They were super transparent, efficient, and easy to work with. It’s rare to find an auto shop that’s both honest and friendly — highly recommend!”
“Service was great, fast as can be with a 40 year old car. As always the estimates are very detailed and provide a lot of information. They provide options on how to proceed. Always courteous as well. I will continue to go back to them for service and advice.”
“Auto Doctor has always been very good at diagnosing and fixing any problems I had with my vehicle, they were much better than midas down the street, fixing things much faster, more efficiently, and for better price.
Any problems with previous repairs, they would cover it under warranty without any problems.”
“Purchased a vintage car from out of state, and brought it straight to Walt’s. I couldn’t be more happy! Wally and team are world class professionals … humble, honest, and so knowledgeable! An excellent experience!”
“Made appointment for synthetic oil change, while I waited in waiting room. Good value, even inspected the front end as I had recently rolled over a curb. Included a tire rotation.”
“Had an amazing experience here! I took my car somewhere else for a tune up and they suggested a ton of different fixes that would have amounted to a total of 7k! I brought it to Cat's for a second opinion and got a much better deal, plus a better understanding of what my car needs and doesn't need (since I only expect to use it for another couple years). Plus my car finally sounds normal now after years of loud exhaust sounds. Thanks Cat's!”
“Honest evaluation with no unexpected surprise costs. Finished within the estimated timeframe. Polite and professional. They cover all types of repairs besides mufflers. I highly recommend their service.”
“Great people, great service. These guys know their stuff. They make a thorough inspection, analyze what they see and provide a complete list of things you should do, along with how much they think the service is needed. I like having the knowledge of what's possible, the cost, then deciding when to take it on.
I highly recommend this shop!”
“I own Golden electrical services and have a fleet of trucks. The service and maintenance all of my vans. They do a phenomenal work. I had them replaced an engine on one of my vans. I would highly recommend them.”
“This marked my first visit to Mark's Transmission, now formally known as MTS Transmission, and I must admit, I've never had a better experience dealing with mechanics. Initially, I took my Jeep Wrangler to the dealership, where they proposed replacing the entire rear differential at a steep price. However, upon a recommendation, I visited MTS Transmission, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Mark was exceptionally pleasant and patient. He took the time to inspect my Jeep thoroughly and provided a detailed explanation of the issue. Contrary to the dealership's recommendation, it was determined that my Jeep didn't require a full rear differential replacement, but rather just the rear differential carrier, along with the installation of new side bearings and rear axle bearings, which resulted in a much more reasonable overall cost. I will certainly return in the future. Many thanks to Mark and his team for their assistance and efforts in getting my Jeep back on the road.”
“My van broke down on the freeway. On Saturdays there are only a few transmission shops open. Lucky for me these guys were open. Not only did they take the job on a Saturday, they finished the job in four days. The bonus, it came out cheaper than my estimate. It's only day one but with my warranty I feel great about the repair. They even help helped me find a tow truck to get it there.”
“Really solid guys (son and dad). I had tranmission issues with my land cruiser, and 3rd gear was skipping. So I needed a rebuilt. I shop around 4 different shops told me the same thing.
Reason why I pick ZATC. they can start working on my tranmission the next day. Other shops had 1 to 2 weeks waiting.
Plus I was talking to the dad of the shop he is a big land cruiser fan aswell, show me pics of his one. That make me feel better letting them work on my Toyota.
5days later got a call form them saying the LC was done. The tranmission works well and shifting was alot better. Super happy with this company. Thank you guys. If you have tranmission problem bring it to them. I'm happy I found a solid tranmission shop now.”
“Although I no longer live in the Bay Area, I want to highlight my experience with Kevin & Conner's shop. If I had to choose one word to describe working with Kevin, it would be HONEST. He never tries to upsell unnecessary services. For example, when my previous vehicle (an Audi with just over 100k miles and high maintenance costs) started giving me trouble, I asked Kevin for his advice. He gave me a straightforward, neutral perspective without pushing me in either direction.
If you're looking for a mechanic who lures you in with a low estimate only to surprise you later with unexpected charges, this is not that place. Kevin is upfront, reliable, and trustworthy.
Over the years, he serviced multiple vehicles for me and even helped me purchase a new car. If I still lived in the area, I would not hesitate to go back.
The only con is that they are busy which is a byproduct of several years of goodwill.”
“So it’s been exactly 1 week since I got my car back from the shop ?I had an electrical issue. (Wires)When I would press the start button to turn off my car, the engine wouldn’t shut off right away. It would take a few minutes. It would shake until it would force itself off… then my headlight would turn itself ON. (Yes, the lights were OFF) So b/c there was no other way for me to turn off, a button that was already off.. it would kill my battery… which would make me jump my car every other day when it wouldn’t turn off properly.Anyway… I had already made an appointment at a Ford dealership in San Leandro for an oil change.. then I included the issue above. I had my car there for a lil over a week, I spoke with him the weekend after drop off (monday), and the day of pick up (the next Monday). I couldn’t get a hold of him throughout the time my car was getting looked at.I called & spoke w/a few other ppl then I eventually spoke w/manager who told me he would get the guy assigned to me to reach out, which he never did. When I picked up the car, they said they couldn’t find anything.A day after, the car started doing the same thing, I dropped my car off after hours (b/c of work)Spoke to someone new, asked for someone different for the lack of communication, the new guy didn’t like that so much, so I took my car to the Ford dealership in Fremont,They ran another diagnostic (2), they too said they could not find anything, but that my oil was over filled & that I needed another one (drain out and put new), something about a lid under the hood needed fixing which would cost $1800, and I have bad tires in the front. They too had issues with communication, but it was kinda better then San Leandro..+ it was there a lil over a week b/c I had to wait 3 days for someone to run a diagnostic ?I honestly felt discouraged, and I didn’t know who to trust.Then I went ahead and took it to Managal Motors, because I remember having a good experience with my rotors getting replaced a few years ago.I called in, I dropped my car off the day of. I was told that they were going to run another diagnostic (3) and that it would take some time to find out the issue of the car. They called for questions about it before working on it, plus called in again to let me know what they were doing, and what he thought the issue might be, and then I got a text of a receipt & a call it was ready. I dropped it off before their shopped closed on a Tuesday, and got the car back on Monday (they had it fixed less then a week!)I haven’t had any issues with the engine turning off, or no spooky lights turning on by itself since ☺️☺️☺️☺️ & I was also told about my bad ties in front. (Which I did know about, I had my back tires changed, and I was working towards the front… anyway) I felt like they actually took the time out to find out what was wrong w/ my car, & kept in communication, and my car wasn’t even with them for a whole week.I’m not sorry for the long review, I’ve been really frustrated with the lost of money,time and lack of communication and trust. I’m so thankful that my car is back up n running.? THANK YOU MANGALE MOTORS!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Ps. I had some burnt wires (from a car accident) that needed to be replaced, and the total cost was $537.69Which includes a diagnostic, parts, & labor.”
“one of Hayward's top auto repair shops. I was recommended to this store by my brother. Always give me sound advice instead than just generating money and keeping their word. I've been going here for three years. Genuine auto components and very affordable labour are also available. I advise everyone who lives in the Hayward area to visit this store for the best service. Last but not least, I would like to thank Mr. Goldy, the shop's owner, for his excellent service and high-quality products.”
“I strongly recommend D & S Body Shop! Echoing another reviewer: I would give them more than 5 stars if possible.
Took my car here to sort out some problems following a minor collision. Michelle is super communicative and honest, and the technicians are all knowledgeable and fantastic. It really feels like they are there to help you!”
“This is the best transmission shop I have ever been to. Fast , reliable, and good prices. Thanks for the excellent transmission swap on my 2016 Cadillac CT6. Ty quoted me on Friday Said bring the car on Monday morning had it back to me Tuesday afternoon running like a champ thank you very much!!”
“I had the best experience with Nayarit Transmission shop! Marcos was extremely helpful and explained in detail what I needed and what he was going to do to fix my car. He completed the work in 1 day! He was very nice and professional. I highly recommend using them especially for women because he is trustworthy and charged fair price ? !”
“Very honest and upfront about everything. Gil very knowledgeable about his work and cars. I would have him as my everyday mechanic anytime. We talked about everything while I was there not just about cars but just what was going on around the area of Oakland. He gives back to the community and is part of the community in so many ways.”
“I love this service! Jasbir And his daughter are beautiful people. They don't gouge you and they have quality service fixed my 1994 Pathfinder also my Civic was totaled. It was a difficult tow for the original tow truck driver but Jasbir arrived on saying and got the truck on the flatbed in no time”
“I been bringing personal and work vehicles to Sam for years now. from simple oil changes and breaks to transmission swaps.
He will personally view and work on each vehicle and will communicate with you along the way if its complicated repair.
He's honest and fast. I believe he's expanding now and offering tire services.
You won't go wrong with SMC.”
“No nonsense very professional great price and extremely informative! As a woman I've experienced mechanics who try to swindle me or don't take the time to explain what exactly is going on with my car. He educates you about how each piece works and why it broke in the first place and what preventive measures that need to be implemented.”
“This place was great. The staff was both knowledgeable and helpful. Me being a woman, I always expect to be in upsold. They didn't do that. They even told me what to look out for with my car and how to keep it riding smooth. I left only paying for the oil change that I went in for. They were fast and I would definitely go back. And they're located close to my lash lady so that's a plus.”
“Take all my cars here for regular maintenance and more serious problems. They always get to the root of the problem and what is the best fix. Best part of every transaction has been the honesty and we all know how hard it is to find an honest mechanic. Would recommend to my mother! Great shop!”
“This has been my car repair place for several years now. Joe and his team does a great job and definitely does not try to sell you anything your car doesn't need or overcharge. Great place if you want quality work, friendly team and fair prices. I highly recommend it!”
“George and his staff are total experts in their field . They repaired my transmission in 2015 and it’s been going strong ever since. I’d had it switched out by 4 other garages in the 10 years prior to that and cost me a fortune. George and his crew do it right the first time.
3 years ago my other vehicle was diagnosed with a faulty transmission by another mechanic. I took my truck to Bryant Transmission Center . They did all the tests on it over a couple of days and let me know there was nothing with it and didn’t charge me a penny. George and his crew gave me the correct diagnosis at zero charge .
It was an axel problem .
These guys are great , honest and hard workers.
Thanks . I refer all my mates to them .
Steve”
“They did my motor mounts brakes and rotors for my ford focus. I’m no mechanic but I am a car enthusiast;a broke one but they were very detailed and polite.Rad dudes.I don’t see why you wouldn’t give them 5 stars.”
“Great place, fixed a seal in my transmission (that I removed and brought it) in about 5 min. Definitely the place to go if you need repairs. I would highly recommend coming here.”
“I had an oil change and tire rotation done, while I waited in the lounge area. Clean shop. Professional in communication and work ethic. Jesse the mechanic was very thorough. I will return for future work on my vehicles.”
