I already went to Tony for repairs and other maintenance, but I usually get my tires rotated at Costco because they do it for free. This week Costco was booked up so I called Tony. He took care of me same day, and even gave me a deal for being a loyal customer. Tony is a super considerate, communicative and friendly mechanic who charges a fair price for good quick work. If you're in Frogtown, Atwater or Silver Lake, hit him up.

I took my Ford Focus to two different Ford dealerships for maintenance where they recommended I get my front lower control arm bushings replaced. They both quoted me about $1.7k for the work/parts. I reached out to Tony for a quote and he was able to do it for way less than the dealerships. He was super quick with his responses and as well as the work done to the car. Will definitely come back when my car needs repair work.

My wife goes to take her car to his garage and it is always a wonderful visit for the car. His work is professional and he's easy to communicate with. A truly great neighborhood car repair shop.

Had some car trouble during our road-trip. Stopped in and Tony was able to assess the problem, order the parts, and fixed it within 3 hrs. He's our hero and saved our trip! Low cost, efficient, effective. Make Tony your guy for auto needs.

Came here because of the good reviews and luckily they matched the service I received! Service and response time were both very quick. I went in after another shop told me of repairs I needed. It ended up I didn't need one of the repairs so I was saved a lot of money! I really appreciate the honesty and highly recommend. Will return for future services

I've had the pleasure of taking my cars to Tony for over 30 years. I always know he'll fix the problem the right way and charge me the right price. It's hard to find honest businesses. He's the best.

Excellent place! Have been coming here for a few years now. Sako has always been very helpful. They have given me very good prices and are always very honest about things the car does *not* need, meaning they are fair and don't try to oversell me. I don't even bother going for second opinions because I know that other places will try to charge for extra things. A1 Auto is great. They even got my car cleaned inside for free last time!

I never write reviews but Tony totally deserves all the praise for his work and patience. I had a BMW that was not passing the smog and had state covering most of the repairs. Car has a lot of miles and it was hard to determine what was the exact issue with it. After inspecting the car Tony was able to identify few things that need to be fixed. He went out of this way to find specifics of codes that were not showing on his computer (due to BMW) and after talking with IT support he was able to identify exact problem and fix it. He showed me each pat that had to be replaced and explained why that was the case. My car passed the smog and it is running better than before. Thank you Tony! Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for honest and knowledgeable mechanic.Services: Smog certification

I got my smog check. He asked to call ahead to make sure I don't have to wait long. It was easy in and out! A bit tricky to find as signage is not that clear.

I needed to get my Mini Cooper's first smog check. Guess that officially makes my car old. I needed to use a Star smog station. So ok. Checked around and found A1 nearby. Good reviews here so I called and made my appointment for the next day. Tony was very patient when his smog system was having issues connecting to its database. I wasn't in a hurry so all good. Passed with flying colors so now I have a go place for smog checks and maybe if needed, repairs. Don't want to jinx myself with that.

Always have had a great experience here. Small business mentality with excellent customer service, good/thorough explanations, and seems like they can solve any problem I’ve brought them! Thank you for your help!

I went back in last week after not being theere for 4 months, and each of them, when they came in, said, "Hello Philippa - where are your chihuahuas?' They did wonderful work - a service plus a new tire for $199 (including tire rotation).
