Auto Repair in Newark, CA

“My husband and I were shopping around for quotes on a brake change for our Toyota Highlander, and we feel so lucky to have found Giant Bull Auto Shop! They offered the most reasonable price, got us in the same day, and had everything done within 3 hours! When I picked up my car, I was pleasantly surprised—they went above and beyond by washing it, leaving it sparkling clean, even though that wasn’t part of the service! The owner was incredibly kind and even offered me free refreshments, which was such a thoughtful touch. After this wonderful experience, we've decided to make Giant Bull our go-to auto shop. We won’t be looking anywhere else! Highly recommend!”

“Elie is the best, i’ve been going to him for 8 years now and highly recommend taking your car there! Honest, trustworthy, knowledgable, and reliable. Great pricing, he genuinely tries to help save money. Communicative about the service and how long it will take. I can always count on him to take good care of my car and be real with me. Thanks to Elie and the team, my first gen subarus are running great!”

“I had a accident where my EV ford mustang mach e was hit and run at the signal of mowry and fremont Blvd. It completely damaged my back fender and also 2 sensors. After much research on the web, found BJP Auto Body & Repair and took my car for the estimate. The estimate I got was $2,042 which was much lower compared to other auto shops. And since it was hit and run my insurancce did not cover any cost and I had to pay entirely. The owner Fazila was very helpful, handled it super professionally by communicating me at very stage of the repair, did great work on the car and also provided excellent service by dropping my car back to my house.
I would highly recommend this BJP auto body shop for anybody who wants to have quality work and fair price and timely delivery.”

“I had an issue with my 2015 Nissan Altima and need to replace both my Rear Brake rotor and pads. Brian was clear and gave a fair range when giving a quote. When I brought my car he checked the gauge and said front brakes are ok and dont need to be changed.
He and his team quickly worked on my car and finished the work before the estimated time.
If I ever have an issue with my car, I call Brian as he is very knowledgeable and he is fair and I value his input.. I strongly recommend Brian and Automotove Service & Repair for any car repair needs.”

“Very friendly, prices were reasonable, and I was in and out quick. Couldn’t ask for more when getting your car smogged. Great company, and I will continue going here for my vehicles.”

“Went there for a battery replacement (was recommended by Newark Costco)…he was very courteous and took only 15mins to compete the work, and his prices are very very fair. Will be taking my cars for service here”

“I have been taking our cars to Mario at DPS for over 8 years for various types of issues. He is always courteous, prices are fair and service is quick. He has helped me with major repair work as well as fixing lights, doors, battery replacement on both domestic and foreign brands.”

“Just purchased a car for my daughter. Was absolutely the smoothest transaction I have ever had with Jeep Ram. I would like to give a shout out to Trarik Mayar for providing excellent customer service and a very satisfied customer that will definitely be back!”

“I want to take a moment to thank Gary for helping me through the entire process of getting my new vehicle. From start to finish, he took care of everything and made the experience easy and stress-free. I was referred by Josh next door at Kia, and I’m so grateful I was sent to the right place.
I was honestly amazed by how well I was guided and how clearly everything was explained. They had the vehicle I wanted, and we were able to negotiate in a respectful and straightforward way. I shared my budget and how I hoped to move forward, and I genuinely felt heard, understood, and considered. Gary went above and beyond for me, and I truly appreciate that.
Both my husband and I feel this was one of the easiest vehicle-purchasing experiences we’ve ever had. With my birthday this weekend, this made the perfect start to it. Everything went exactly as Gary said, smooth and quick. We were in and out, and the entire process didn’t even take an hour. I think I was there around 25 minutes since a few things were done electronically beforehand, and his team handled everything with care.
Gary also went the extra mile by recommending me to one of his friends for vehicle tinting. Not only was I offered a great price, but now I’ll be taking two vehicles to him for tinting! It’s rare to find someone who truly cares about helping you with every step of the process, and I’m so grateful to Gary for looking out for me in this way.
I also want to give a special shout-out to Nate and Montes (I hope I’m spelling that correctly!). Montes even came in on his day off to help finalize the paperwork, and he was incredibly kind and understanding. His attentiveness felt completely genuine.
Overall, the whole team truly took care of me. I already have a few friends looking for vehicles, and I will absolutely be sending them your way. I wish you all the best and continued success.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! ???”

“Had a nail in the tire and took my car to Newark Tire & Auto Service for repair. The person at the front desk (rude of me to not ask for his name) helped us check the tire. Turns out the nail was only attached to the tire superficially and not a real puncture. All in all it only took 5 minutes and I was good to go. Didn't charge us for inspection and he even explained why certain puncture is repairable while others are not. Very friendly and good customer service.”

“Bryko is the best European auto shop in the Bay Area. Imagine a place that won’t rip you off, keeps you involved in the process and also is incredibly knowledgeable. All under one roof? You won’t believe me until you give them a try. 11/10 would recommend having this shop bless your car.”

“A very big thank you to Christian for making my visit such a breeze. Needed all new tires, break and alignment repair. He took care of the details with my husband over the phone and treated me and my kids wonderfully in person during our appointment. I appreciate the kindness and respect. Definitely coming back when the time calls. Thanks team ??”

“Omar, was wonderful, he did such a great job with updating me on every step of my vehicle repair. Him and his staff are absolutely amazing and friendly. This is definitely an upscale autobody shop, and feels like they are always honest the entire process. After the repairs, they also did a great job washing the exterior and interior of my vehicle, it honestly feels like I’m taking a new car off the lot.”

“Bakhter Auto is the place to go for all your body work needs. I’ve been here many times and they always take good care of me. I had a front end collision, and they did amazing work to fix it. If you need any work done on your car, then check them out!”

“Came here because of a recall on my Ford vehicle. Booking my appointment was easy and the team was very communicative about how long it would take and when I could come in. Patrick did a great job of explaining the recall reason to me, what work was done on the vehicle, and was quick to notify me when it was done. He also informed me of some maintenance items that needed my attention and provided me with a quote from the dealership, which was helpful and not pushy. I would definitely come back for any future problems with my vehicle. Five stars”

“Great service great communication really good work my cars. This is the third time using Ariana body shop for my cars. Very satisfied Customer.. Love the staff great communication and follow up. I would definitely recommend ARIANA AUTO BODY shop if you're looking for professional work.”

“My R35 GTR was having overheating issue & leaking coolant. They troubleshoot & fix the problem. Good communication & explain everything that was wrong. Kept me on the loop the whole time. Also got a OBD2 port cover, to help protect the car from getting stolen.”

“"A fantastic shopping experience! The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, the selection was vast, and the quality of the products was top-notch. I found exactly what I was looking for and will definitely be returning soon.
Best price!”

“Their mechanics make good and honest diagnostics. They walk you through their reasoning. They explain the cost itemization. I find them trustworthy of your business.”

“Where can I start? My sister in law brought her car to this shop as her engine check light was on. (The dealership told her it costs $300 to do all the labor.) She ended up paying less than $100 and had her car fixed immediately. Therefore, I took my car to this shop today since the check engine light was on. The owner took his time to check my car, and the price was super reasonable. (Unlike dealership that costs at least more than 500 every time.) The owner was super responsive, detail oriented, and he took his time to explain how everything works. In addition, I had to wait at least 4-5 hours every time at dealership to fix my car. It only took 2-3 hours for this guy and he's by himself. I will definitely come back here, and he definitely deserves more businesses as we all should support more local business owners.”

“If you’re looking for a good honest mechanic Naval’s the guy. I used to call around to compare rates but now I don’t bother. Been doing business with him for a couple of years now, and he always saves me money. Also, if you live in town like I do, he usually offers to give me a ride home and picks me when the vehicles ready.”

“Maybe some nice and cool refreshments, revamped the waiting area, looks dead and boring. Not lively and not welcoming. The ambience doesn't match the energy of your employees”

“My wife and I spent an afternoon with the salespeople at Winn Kia and had an excellent experience with the entire team. The team was pleasant to work with, and accommodating to our specific needs. We had a sense they were honest, fair, and concerned for our well being. I felt a bit guilty because my wife pushed a hard bargain. We had been to four other dealerships before coming to this one and felt completely satisfied buying a car here.

It was easy to schedule an appointment. When we arrived, Thomas took an inventory of our interests: compact hybrid suv, leaning new, but open to used, depending on the value; needed safety features, such as blind spot and cross traffic warnings; and would be nice to have parking sensors but expect the highest trim to be out of our range; preferably white. We wondered whether white was worth the $400 premium, and he let us see several new blue Sportage vehicles. He explained KIA used different shades of colors for each model of car they sold. He narrowed down our search to a new 2025 Sportage EX and a certified pre-owned 2022 Sportage EX with under 15,000 miles. He patiently walked us through the car menus and buttons and he showed us the features and differences of each car. He gave us ample time to ask questions, in particular showing us the nuances of the back seats, rear view camera, and power tailgate. We were a bit nervous to drive the new cars, so he let us be passengers on a test drive.

I asked whether all KIA used cars sold by dealerships were certified and he said it was something new this dealership started the past few months. I thought that it was a great service, because having the balance of a 10 year/100,000 mile drive train warranty certainly brought me peace of mind shopping for a used car. I asked why the miles were so low and he explained the car was coming off a lease, and the previous owner worked from home during the pandemic, and traded in for a new car.

After we were shown the customary wrap around service and maintenance contracts, my wife asked the salesman, "what would you recommend for your wife"? He said the two contracts worked well together, but he admitted he might pass on the costly service contract. He did explain what kind of discount packages he could work out for us and what might be harder. With the certified preowned drive train warranty covering the most expensive repairs, we initially opted out of the service contract.

Tony helped us to finalize the details of the sale. First, he arranged the paperwork so my wife could quickly sign and leave to pick up our son from school. He helped to clarify details such as exact purchase dates and warranty expiration dates. Seeing how soon our 5 year service warranty would expire, he helped us to arrange a wrap around service contract that made sense. He was patient as we called the bank to arrange payment and he eventually gave me a drive to the bank to make a cashier's check. He then introduced me to the service team and invited me to call with any questions I had. So overall great service and caring to ensure our needs were met.

Compare to Dealer B, who insists "the 2025 Sportage is the best selling car in our inventory, it is nearly impossible to find, and we are asking $6000 more than MSRP, and we will not bother to show you features or let you test drive, and we don't want to let you to leave until we have a deal." As if customers have no internet and are helpless in the "capitol of silicon valley"

Edit: driving around, I noticed the miles per gallon efficiency was lower than I expected for a hybrid. It dawned on me that we bought a 2022 Sportage, while the hybrid version was released in 2023. So we got a gas car, when we thought we bought a hybrid. Instead of getting a great deal, I would say we got a fair deal. I will attribute this mistake to my inexperience (should have asked for the original Monroney window sticker) and my shopping fatigue. I would ”

“I went to get my Mercedes E320 fixe. The mechanic there was friendly and professional, he is very knowledgeable about all things Mercedes. He had me back on the road within 24 hour. I will definitely go back if I need repairs again.”

“Really appreciate how helpful and empathetic Ace, Alex and the team were. From the time I called to ask if they could help in our situation, he had his tow company out to our site within a half hour. He took us back to his shop, and took the time to help us understand the choices we had and worked promptly with our insurance. Highly recommend!”

“I went there and had my front bumper scraped up. Carlos polished it and fixed my bumper for waaaayyy cheaper than I expected. HE DID IT FOR FREE. This shop is the most honest place you will ever do business in.”

“Mr Moe is great, but got different answers from his staff, when took the car there. Pricing too high for repair work. Place usually busy, so a full day thing, personal rental car would be needed”
