“Still spending my money at Costa Auto Care! They were able to fix my alternator and give me a game plan in terms of cost for my catalytic converters. They're great!”
“Very good service. Doug the owner gave me options for replacing some damaged tires and other folks were very customer-centered. I had trouble with tire pressure sensors on my Prius after installation and they had me come in for a second visit to check it out. An under inflated tire (not one of the ones they installed) seemed to be the cause, but the tech also let me know the sensors were all getting old. I felt they were up front and very knowledgeable.”
“Owners provided good communication and support. They gave me a ride to BART and worked with me on having my son pick up car. They gave full explanation of work performed and final status of car. Price for work appeared reasonable.”
“Caliber collisions was so easy to work with. They gave me peace of mind while dealing with having my stolen/recovered vehicle repaired. Ylan was very communicative throughout the entire process and went above and beyond, getting my car detailed so that I could feel comfortable riding in it again. Would highly recommend!”
“Thank you Quincy for helping me get a car! Your customer service was amazing, you were very mindful of my thoughts & decisions and price range. Again, thank you for everything:)”
“This must’ve been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with car services! Super nice people, and I mean just great all-around energy, with efficient, well-done, and well-priced service. Highly recommend!”

The object on thw fwy actually caused mechanical problems and body damage under my car . They gave me a sample of the color they used to match the paint
This place is the Nordstoms of Body Shops
Thank you again”
“A Google search, two honest men, and I have never looked back. Prem and Roberto have been taking care of my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek for a few months now - fixing my brakes, replacing my right axle and checking my tires - and will continue to do so. Fair pricing, good conversations, and everything you need from a mom and pop auto shop. 100/10 would recommend!”
“This place deserves 10 stars. My q60 was stolen and wrecked. Insurance company tried quoting me for used or aftermarket parts to paint and repair. Took it to this place and the guy Adam went to bat behind me against the insurance company and got us all new oem parts. As well pulling some string and getting the oem parts fast. Plus threw in a bunch of extra touch ups for no additional charge. Can honestly say my car was returned looking and feeling better then before it was stolen. Never once asked for anything in return. Genuinely satisfied ! 10⭐️s for sure.”
“The staff were very kind, helpful and efficient. I thought I would need a new tire but they were able to remove the nail and patch it up, and it's been fine! I will definitely return when I do need new tires =)”
“Best auto body shop in town! They replaced my back bumper and did a fantastic job -- only took a day. Everyone who works here is extremely helpful and friendly. Will be back should I ever need them again!”
“Amazing shop to take your cars to, Mario is honest and knowledgeable, he tries his best to help you and goes out of his way to make it pleasant when you have car trouble. Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get their cars fixed.”
“Very professional, honest and straight forward about your car needs. It's like taking your car to the car doctor, they give diagnosis and keep charted information on future needs/repairs of the car. Im very impressed and will definitely return.”
“I've been a client at International Tires and Brakes for about 15 years now, and I've always been impressed with their service. Whether you need a tire patched or replaced, this is the place to go. The service is friendly and reliable. Highly recommend them for anyone in need of tire services.”
“Had a small leak in my tire. Called them and drove over there, fixed it under 30 minutes and they also checked every tire, as well as the TPMS sensors. Was able to be serviced same day and only 40 Dollars for the flat repair. Needless to say would recommend this place. Way faster than Costco.”
“I have been treated well every time I go, the work they do is very professional. They have Noe who speaks Spanish and I can communicate effectively. I recommend them 100%”
“I want to share the honesty and professionalism I experienced at this place. My car is a 2016 Toyota Camry with about 120,000 miles on it. A few months ago, I started hearing a knocking sound coming from under the engine, and it gradually got louder. Someone I know, who knows a bit about cars, told me it was coming from the transmission. After hearing that, I avoided long-distance driving and only drove locally, planning to fix it when the time came.
Unfortunately, things got worse when I was laid off from work, and money became very tight. Each day, the sound seemed louder, and I worried the car might stop while driving. I was desperately thinking of the cheapest way to fix the transmission, and eventually decided to take it to a local transmission shop. Among the options, AMCO in Oakland had good reviews, and I was able to easily book an appointment online on the Monday Nov 24.
I explained the noise, and they told me it would cost $200 to diagnose the issue. I was mentally prepared to fix it if the estimate came out to under $2,000, and they also said the $200 would be applied to the repair cost if I chose to proceed. Since I couldn’t see the problem myself, the whole situation felt overwhelming and I had no choice but to trust the shop. If they had quoted a repair cost, I would have had to pay it or put it on a credit card, even if it meant going into debt.
About an hour and a half later, I went back to talk to them. When they told me that fixing the transmission would normally cost four to five thousand dollars, I thought, “This is it… the moment I was afraid of.” But then the manager smiled and said, “You are a lucky guy.” He explained that the knocking sound wasn’t coming from the transmission at all—it was simply the tire cover making noise. They removed all the loose covers from my car and recommended to replace all four covers.
I was relieved beyond words. I regretted trusting someone who only “knew a bit” about cars, but I was extremely grateful that I went for a second opinion. I thanked God for leading me to honest people and for allowing everything to work out safely. Looking back, I realized how easy it could have been for someone to scam me and make quick money. But these people were completely honest, handled everything professionally, and treated me with integrity.
I want to leave this review, even though it’s only a short one, to express my appreciation for their work. I hope I won’t have to go back for transmission issues, but if I ever do, this is the place I’ll return to—and I truly recommend them to others.”
“i’ve been going here for years since failing a smog and needing a repair, then it became my go-to shop. the owner, Brian, is great. always keeps it real and is very helpful. when my car had an oil leak and was totally dry, he even came to check it out and put more oil in before i brought it back to the shop”
“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.”
“I just want to take a moment to thank Eric and his team for always doing such a great job with my car. I truly appreciate his honesty, attention to detail, and the care he put into his work. It’s assuring to know my vehicle is always in good hands . I would absolutely recommend his work to my family and friends. Thank you again. I really appreciate you!!!!”
“Mark and his team were great! I came in with a small issue on my Lexus LX570 — a ceiling vent that had come loose. His tech fixed it right away, and they didn’t even charge me. Super honest, professional, and helpful people. I’ll definitely be coming back here for future service.”
“I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible service I received at this auto shop. Prad and Jeet were not only honest, but they truly went above and beyond to address what my vehicle needed. Their pricing is fair, and they saved me thousands of dollars, which made a huge difference for me. Jeet took the time to walk me through everything, showing me the before and after, as well as the old parts that were removed. It made me feel cared for and reassured about the work being done. Thank you so much for your kindness and dedication!”
“Great job!
Super friendly guy. Very helpful and did an absolutely stellar job putting dual exhaust on my truck. He had it done in a day (it’s an older pickup so not as much stuff to go around). Still, did great work, helped me decide what would achieve the result I was looking for and then absolutely nailed it for a great price. Highly recommend!!”
“Brooks Motors is the best! I have been using Brooks for years and they never disappoint. I just picked up my car and the service and workmanship from drop off to pick up was excellent.The employees are professional, helpful and kind and my car looks great ! They made the experience easy .
Highly recommend. Five stars !”
“I come here because the location is convenient and the prices are reasonable. For my 210 Kia forte, a regular synthetic oil change cost $55. If I wanted full synthetic it would have cost me $80. They are fast with my oil change and they show me the clean oil on the dipstick at the end. They check the other fluid levels and refill my windshield washing fluid as well as vacuuming my air filter. I have been coming here for years and enjoy the service and experience. They also take card”
“Bruce is just amazing. I’ve never worked with a more thoughtful, thorough, and considerate auto mechanic. My poor Jeep was a lot more sick than I had realized at first, but Bruce did a very thorough inspection, investigated the underlying issues thoroughly, and gave me a very good price.”
“If you're looking for an honest, dependable local mechanic, Jose is the one to trust. I recently went in for a brake job, expecting to replace both front and rear brakes. After checking everything thoroughly, Jose told me the front brakes still had about 50% life left and didn’t need service yet. He simply recommended checking them again in about four months—no upselling, no pressure, just honesty.
He also closes his shop for lunch, which is rare in this industry, but it shows how much he values his team and runs his business with integrity. It’s clear he truly cares about his customers and their vehicles. Highly recommend him for any general mechanic work or even just a second opinion. Jose is the kind of mechanic every community needs.”
“I have taken all of my cars to Besa for years. I have never had any issues with my repairs They stand by their work which is not cheap but fairly priced for the great work that they do. I highly recommend Besa to all.”
“If I could give 100 stars I would. Geovanni, Mike and the rest of their team are exemplary with their work. The quality of the work is first rate, they treat their clients with courtesy and integrity, and transparency. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
