“Got a tune-up here in Cupertino and the car runs smoother now. Service was quick, pricing felt fair, and they explained things clearly without pushing extras. Definately coming back.”
“A wonderful little European auto specialist with a super friendly owner (Brian), a knowledgeable manager (Matt) and a nice young man providing shuttle service. I had diagnosis there at a good price on suspension issues of my Audi and received a fair recommendation. I decided not to do it only because of money saving - rather than full repair of the front control arm and the RF axle, I did a minimum by replacing only the worn components. I still plan to keep Allied Auto in mind for future work.”
“Great group of guys that are professional easy going and very detailed. If you're looking for a great repair shop this is the place. The prices aren't the cheapest but also they are not overly inflated, you get what you pay for.”
“You cannot find a more honest, trustworthy, well priced mechanic. Kevin and Tony are quick at understanding even the most complex issues, figuring out the best price to fix and then their team does a fantastic job. Over the last 20 years, they have worked on many different cars of mine (Subarus, fords, BMW) and with every fix they understand my needs and help to make the best decisions. Cannot recommend higher!! I live far from them now and still take my cars there!! And, most importantly, I trust them completely. They will never oversell you. So honest!!!”
“While I had a relatively small issue, they got me in quickly and taken care of efficiently. Front desk staff (Vince and one other) were friendly and respectful. Easy to recommend”
“The best. Honest to a fault - had multiple instances where I had a check engine light and they traced it to some minor issue (cable loose, ect) with minimal cost- where many shops no doubt would charge up the wazoo. Great to work with. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Changed my sister's civic car battery from here. Car was dead after a few months and he gave a jump start device and also helped by allowing a mechanic to come home with me.
Replaced battery with warranty too, no cost to me.
Amazing guy, brilliant service!”
“My Toyota was making a strange sound that was difficult to describe and could only be heard while riding in the backseat. One of the technicians there was kind enough to sit in the backseat and troubleshoot the problem as I drove. Within a few minutes he quickly diagnosed the cause and was able to fix it. Great service! Thank you guys!”
“I brought a car here for a PPI and I was blown away by the service and friendliness of everyone. Erin, you’re an absolute legend and have an amazing business. Thank you for being so attentive to my needs and resolving any questions I had. It was a pleasant drive back to LA knowing everything was in order when I left your shop. I guess I can only buy vehicles in the Bay Area from now on so I can take them your way!!”
“Bay Area Motors is the only place I let touch my German cars. They kept my 2008 Audi A6 running years after it should have died. I take my replacement Porsche Macan S, bought after William at BAMW, brought the Macan S to my attention when my Audi finally died. BAMW is not cheap but it is very fairly priced, I have had William tell me that I didn't need specific things done and he undoubtedly saved me a great deal of money over the 15 years that I have used his service. He is the one thing that is far too elusive, an honest car repair service.”
“This is the place to go, the guy knows his stuff and is super kind. This is a long over due review but I'm in awe of the quality of work. In January 2018, he did a transmission rebuild on my 2005 Toyota corolla. He knew exactly what light was on and what it meant. He did such a great job that when I went to have the car serviced at Toyota for something else they asked me if I had installed a new engine!! They said the undercarriage was super clean. I’ve since gave the car to my mother and she is still currently driving it in 2024 with no problems ever with the transmission! Thank you do much and I'm sorry it took me so long to write this review.”
“We are beyond grateful for Henry’s superior work ethic! We were traveling through San Jose for a family vacation and our suburban’s transmission went out. Without knowing the area, the owner’s communicate kept us calm and reassured us that we trusted the right business! He is professional, highly skilled and kind! Thank you for getting our family back home safely!”
“Sprinter friends — they service Sprinters!
I first came to Precise Auto Repair over two years ago while on a road trip and had such a great experience. I recently came back to the Bay Area and decided to return, this time with my 2019 Mercedes Sprinter for a transmission fluid and rear differential fluid service. Once again, great service, honest work, and fair pricing. Definitely a shop I trust and recommend!”
“Honest, hardworking shop with great communication. I’m not a truck guy, but they took the time to explain everything and made sure I was in good hands from start to finish. Highly recommend.”
“I never write reviews but Michael was exceptional so I wanted to write about my experience here!Michael was extremely thorough and has a very kind demeanor (something I haven’t encountered much with mechanics). His pre purchase inspection saved me from buying a car with lots of invisible issues that I couldn't tell from test driving it. No pressure to do any services at his shop and very transparent throughout the process. Price was very fair too, half of what others were charging, and no upselling to get work done at his shop specifically. He even looked up an estimate for the specific issue on the car to give me an idea of the cost of the repair all without pressuring me to have the fix done at his shop. Very professional and honest 10/10 service. I'll be back when I'm in the area again.”
“Excellent service and very professional team! I brought my car in for repairs, and they quickly diagnosed the issue and fixed everything perfectly. Honest pricing, great communication, and quality work — it’s hard to find a trustworthy shop like this nowadays. They really care about their customers and make sure the job is done right. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for reliable and skilled mechanics!”
“Amazing fast service experience, knowledgeable owner help me solve all my issue with my old Porsche cayenne. Very first time for auto service I feel every dollar I paid is well spend! Will absolutely come back for future service! Highly recommend!”
“I can't say enough about my experience with B&J Automotive. Mark, the owner, was absolutely awesome. He not only repaired my vehicle by the end of the day as promised but also went the extra mile by pre-ordering parts for a secondary repair, just in case I decided to authorize it. This proactive approach ensured that everything was done by the end of the day, which was a huge relief for me.
The level of service at B&J Automotive is truly exceptional. They are not only efficient and reliable but also incredibly thoughtful and considerate of their customers' needs. I've already recommended this shop to multiple coworkers, and I'll definitely be returning for any future automotive needs. Highly recommended!”
“This is a review for Augie. Augie is absolute the most helpful and honest technician I ever met. He will go above and beyond to help and very honest about the issue and how it can be dealt with. It's such a pleasure to work with him if you ever needed anything done. He is a bright light.”
“I was going through my 'Car Stuff' folder in my computer while searching for something and came across some un-filed stuff on a Cadillac I own and drive every day. I have the canceled check and invoice for the re-built transmission Puzant at Dale's Transmission did for me back in 2012. The transmission is still purring along perfectly over 9 years later and I calculated that comes to 89¢ per day and each day I drive the car, that goes down. Thanks for the good job Puzant. I always recommend you when someone says they have a tranny problem. I'll include a photo. Maybe you'll remember this car.”
“Had a pre-purchase inspection done with Don for a used car I was looking at. He did a very thorough job with the inspection and gave me the confirmation I was hoping for to move forward with the purchase, going through all the details of what he found. I would not hesitate to go back to him for maintenance for my new (old) Porsche!”
“Very good staff and reasonable rates. Ali is very helpful and always honest. Got my pre purchase inspection done on a vehicle I wanted to buy - found out things that needed fixing. I'm a regular customer now”
“My trucks fuel pump died on the freeway, AM Auto was very helpful in getting me back on the road. They also helped me replace a few suspension components that were shot. They were honest in what needed replacement and very fair in pricing the labor to get me back in the road even though they could have upcharged me in a bind. I will definitely be coming back for future work!”
“Great experience, very detailed explanations. Service received is levels above others.
Adding, second service with these guys was just as good. Their process allocates time to explain what you’re paying for. Truck drives super smooth after 120k mile service.”
“Highly recommend them. Professional and knowledgeable. They run an honest business that is so rare this days. One of the best experiences we had with a repair shop.”
“Needed a VSSI done on my car so I came here. Steve is an awesome dude, had a lovely chat about cars and working on them. Glad to know there are still honest and knowledgeable shops out there!”
“My go to place for all services on my ‘20 E-class. Mercedes master mechanic and front office staff are friendly, accommodating and extremely professional when it comes to my vehicle. Fair prices and great overall service. Highly recommend.”
“It is my go to auto repair place. My hubby has been going here for years. Great price and fast service guaranteed.
Minh is hard-working, knowledgable, and humorous. I trust him with our cars. They run an honest business, which I value the most in other shady car repair shops/businesses.”
“Mike is the most honest and straightforward shop representative I've ever spoken to. I called from SoCal regarding my daughters 2003 Toyota Camry. Being a busy student at Cal State San Jose, she needed her car working reliably. She went in by herself and he took a look at the car and offered an easy remedy without drama. This is unheard of these days. The world needs more people like this gentleman! She'll go there as long as she's in the area and refer all her friends. Thanks Mike! You're a good dude and I wish the best for you and your family! Cheers!”
“I took my car in for an oil change and transmission flush - and saw that the front wheel fork was in bad shape when they hoisted the car up.Al gave me a very fair estimate for the car, and a loaner for the duration of the repair.
Then, while putting the parts in, they noticed that two of the bolts were stripped, and they had to order new bolts from Mercedes. This took an additional 2 days, and added only around 80$ to the repair. Al let me keep the loaner car till my repairs were done!
I know from experience that nobody else would keep a car back for 2 days for an extra 80$ in repairs - these are some of the most professional people I have seen. I will definitely be bringing my car here again.”
