“Got quoted $1300 for a leaking radiator at another mechanic, I brought it to Ruben. He lifted the car up to personally show me that there was no leak and that they had lied to me, he then offered to do the job for $200. He did it as well as some other work for a 100,000 mile tuneup and the car has been running wonderfully, work was honest and priced very fair. Hard to find a good honest mechanic but look no further than B A auto. Brought my truck in after for a list of repairs and everything was done perfectly including special requests. Grateful for the good work and I would recommend to anyone in need of auto work in the area.”

“My regular mechanic was out of town, and I needed a last-minute pre-purchase inspection for a used Toyota RAV4.
Dana Meyer Auto fit me in right before the holidays with incredible courtesy and professionalism.
They were thorough with the inspection and even replaced the battery in my key fob at the end!
I'm so grateful for their flexibility and excellent service. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

They keep my (older) car in tip top shape and really “go the extra mile” to make sure everything is done right. They communicate beautifully and are very competent and kind, a great combination! Thank you, Robert and Model Garage Team!”

“Excellent service with a friendly and efficient staff. Price is also very reasonable and they are honest. I requested my tires be rotated. When it came time to pay it was explained to me that the tires did not need to be rotated so they deducted $60 off me bill. Never in my life did a repair shop ever lower my bill. Also, they provide uber to and from the shop. I will be using Letcher from now on.”

“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.”

“don’t let the humble building facade and parking lot fool you, it’s what‘s on the inside that counts! I express my recognition, appreciation, gratitude, and awe, that Chris and his team has been able to keep the business running all these years, a testament to their knowledge, dedication, and quality of service. they can service a large variety of vehicles, will detail and prioritize recommended work for older ones, and get you back on the road at a fair price. They’re usually booked out and busy; consider adding your car to their workload!”

“We've been bringing our 2000 Subaru (now with 178,000 miles on it) to Henry Chin's for many years. If you have an older car that you want to keep running you inevitably have to make repairs, and we really have appreciated Henry's clarity, honesty, and the skilled work, fairly priced.”

“Was disappointed in a dealership in Concord, I've used for a time for services. Lately, the last few times I was at that dealership; the service representatives there tried to sell me services and products I did not need and the prices for these alleged services and products, were shocking, to say the least! A good friend referred me to Norcal Tire and Auto Services and Collision in Vallejo ... I decided to go there and I was treated with the upmost respect and consideration. I even got a good deal on a set of tires, I needed so badly! What's more they topped off all the fluids my car needed as they gave my car a checkup on everything the dealership, I had gone to before, tried to sell me on. Found out, I didn't need those services. My SUV is only 5 years old! Anyway, from now on, I'll be going to Norcal Tire, Auto Servises and Collision! Many, many heart felt thanks to Robbie (the owner) and his hard working team! God Bless ... Peggy”

“I was initially introduced to Bill through Fantasy Junction for a PPI on a classic Porsche I was looking to buy. He was in my corner on day one and was willing to inspect the car thoroughly, while navigating me through all the highs and lows of negotiating with a broker. Ultimately, I walked away from purchasing the car, but Bill was there to give me advice on these air-cooled Porsches whenever I had questions. This IS the guy you want to bring your Porsche to up in Northern California, and I'll drive 7+ hours to have him rebuild my 911 engine when it needs a "rebirth". Great to find someone who is TOP in their field!”

“I took my car in for a check engine light and rough idle. John checked the code while I was there, and said he'd call. I Googled the code and saw it could be a dozen different problems. John scoped the engine, checked compression and started with the obvious fixes. He called to brief me and authorize his plan. He fixed the problem, didn't sell me anything he (or I) didn't need, and scoped the engine again to verify his fix. His price was fair, he worked promptly and communicated well. I was both pleased and satisfied with his work.”

“Ray and the guys at United are absolutely top notch! They stand by their word and their work. I have an 06’ dodge Cummins and they made sure was perfect, even fine tuning shift points and fuel pressure to make it run just right for all the towing I do. Definitely above and beyond what’s expected these days, true local experienced skilled professionals.”

“Willing to pay a little more for the amazing customer service. Rather then my dealership who team around the corner before answering basic questions about new tires. Running at about $1200.00 I might add. Honesty run first by their father and now brothers are running with good conscious. Fair, honest and a square deal as the name states! Cars got new kicks!”

“Extremely satisfied with the service and pricing of the oil change and spark plug replacement that they did for me. It was hundreds of dollars less than what I would have paid elsewhere and you can tell they are very honest about what they do. Claudio and his wife were so friendly, and it was such a quick and easy process. I'll definitely be back next time I need something done with my car.”

“I love this place. Not your average auto shop. No frills and no gimmicks. Sure, it’s not easy to reach the shop via phone, but if you’re not fussy, just stop by with your issue and Norick will greet you with a big smile. He’s been in the biz for 40 years and knows his stuff in and out, up and down and all around.”
