This is the best place. Took my classic bronco in to get fixed up, hadn’t passed a smog in years due to living outside California. The team took the beast in for a week and got it all situated. They know their stuff about cars and do any amazing job, couldn’t think of a better team to work with and trust with a great car, super affordable too!

The service was wonderful. They were very fair and honest. They did a thorough job and photographed everything, so I knew they weren't bamboozling me. The service was reasonably priced and efficient.

My brakes went out the first day I had moved to Pleasant Hill and I lucked out by taking my car here. I have now found my forever mechanic in my new neighborhood - Augustin. He is honest, knowledgeable and accommodating. I am so happy I found a trustworthy mechanic. Highly recommend him!!!

Presented Mini Cooper with a transmission oil leak. $2300 repair, still leaked. $800 more, still leaks. They deny it still leaks despite these pictures showing the leak after all the work.

I ended up going back home to my mechanic but the guy I spoke to on the phone was super helpful and informative. I didn't feel any pressure at all and he was very kind on the phone when I called for a quote on oil change and tire.

Great service! Took car in for a simple oil change, and 2 days later my Change Oil sensor was still coming on. I called to let them know, and Victor said possibly one of his guys forgot to reset the sensor. I live fairly close by, but Victor himself drove over after they closed to save me a trip and reset the sensor. Not many places would do that!!!

My new go-to mechanic. Augustin, Victor, and their team were the best to work with. I have brought a couple cars to them, and they most recently did work on my beloved classic car. Their workmanship was outstanding, they kept me in the loop about the progress on the car, they went above and beyond dealing with a warranty issue from a third party supplier, their knowledge of the systems was top notch, and their overall positive attitude made them excellent to work with. They definitely fit right in with the friendly neighborhood vibe of Pleasant Hill and deserve everyone's business in the area.

Called early in the week and was able to get my car repaired by the end of the week. I was given an estimate along with the time frame and it went great. Service was done relatively quickly compared to the time frame I was given. I was quoted $200-$300 more at other shops, and was happy to try this one out.Victor, you are amazing! Thank you for your quick service. I will continue coming here even if I have to make the trip from Berkeley!

My first time working with the company involved me having to use a portable battery starter to get my car started every morning. I brought my car to the shop and explained everything going on and I had a new battery installed within 45 min and I was good to go.The next month, my car wouldn’t start. All I got was a clicking sound and I immediately reached out to the shop and sent a video. The owner, Augustin, tried to diagnose it that way, but unfortunately, I had to have my car towed to the shop. After getting it towed, him and his team were quick and efficient. They knew that I used my car for work and needed to have it back as soon as possible. They kept me updated on the progress and problem(s) (fuel sensors are a thing apparently), the cost of the problems, and the time frame I could expect my car to be ready and I could go back to work.Overall, the customer service was professional, considerate and educational. I’ve been to the shop twice and will most definitely be going back for basic maintenance and any other emergencies that arrive with a 13 year old car.
