“Dana Meyer has excellent service and communication. Their follow-up is clear and collaborative. So far, the car has run beautifully from our two major services. A family-owned company and one that seems to have happy employees is wonderful.”
“I bought a used Subaru WRX. It died the day I got it (sad). I had it towed to a repair shop to replace the obvious problem (a broken serpentine belt). They said that it was running rough (gross misfires on all cylinders) but couldn't figure it out. I had it towed to another garage. They couldn't figure it out. I had it towed to The Model Garage. They did figure it out: party of the broken serpentine belt got into the timing belt.
The Model Garage solved the problem and did so with good communication and reasonable (low even?) costs. I will return there the future.”
“Great service. My family has been with Letcher Bros for over 10 years. I appreciate the courtesy, honesty, and service. Would I recommend them, Yes without a doubt everyday of the week and twice on Sundays”
“I received excellent advice from Steve regarding the repair/replacement of my automatic transmission in my 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback. Steve was very objective and fair with his assessment of my transmission failure. I highly recommend his garage for all transmission repairs.”
“We had a great experience here. Over the past few years I've worked with a few different mechanics in the bay and Henry's is definitely a place I will return. They did great work, it was on time, and they were communicative, but not too communicative (not a bunch of post visit email solicitations, etc.). Their prices were also very competitive and reasonable. When you visit you don't pay extra for what I can only describe as "consumer experience", which truly appreciate. Overall great visit.”
“Mr. Shin is the most honest, hard working car mechanic I've ever hired. He will text you details on what exactly he worked on with your car and send you videos so you never feel misinformed/mislead into paying too much like with most car mechanics ive hired in the past.
When one of his repairs didn't fully fix my oil pressure he took it in again and worked on it for days until it got fixed and he didn't charge me anything. Highly recommended if you own a German vehicle and want an extremely thorough and honest mechanic.”
“Friendly, efficient and trustworthy, called upon they open without appointment, took me in and took care of diagnosis, part replacement and an oil change added on later. Let me know about warranty on part, clear explanation on all charges. Took care of what car needs nothing extra. Will come back!”
“When you want to know what's going on with your Cars Transmission this is the place to Go!! Honest, Quick and Reliable Service Guaranteed! Worth every penny!! Thanks again I really appreciated the services and knowledge you and your team provided!”

“Chris and his crew helped me out in a pinch when my jeep got recovered from theft. He got me back on the road within a month and it was pretty messed up. Thanks again!”
“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”

“My 1985 Suburban' transmission blew up after I took it to a shop in SF for a reseal (they couldn't figure out how to reconnect the central diff locker...).
So I did quite a bit of research and asking around before taking my truck to Ray.
It's an owner-operated shop (as in the owner gets his hands dirty as opposed to seating at a desk all day), and that makes all the difference when the owner knows his stuff and has high standards.
There were a number of quirks in my 40 years old truck, but Ray stuck to it until he got it back on the road.
It's been 2 years and I added 10k miles since then.”

“The team takes great care of my car! They often point issues that went unnoticed by the previous mechanic. Parking is tight but they will take care of anything you need. I especially feel the savings in my pocket because they find the long term solutions!”
“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 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.”
“Didn't take my truck here but i broke down right Infront of their shop and the staff came out to help me try and diagnose my issue. They also allowed me to sit inside out of the sun and use their phone charger while a waited for a tow truck. great guys.”

What impressed me the most was the quality of workmanship delivered by Gilman Auto Repair. Both times I left the shop, my car ran smoother and more efficiently than ever before. It's evident that they take pride in their work and go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.
In addition to their exceptional service, I also appreciate the transparency and honesty displayed by the staff. They were upfront about pricing and timelines, and there were no hidden surprises along the way.

“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.”
“So happy to find this business through Repair Pal; friendly, knowledgeable and super prompt! I highly recommend them!!
Update: came back for oil change and tire rotation; inspection showed one of the axels was damaged/boot cracked leaking grease…was able to get the part and have it fixed the same day! These guys are great! Highly recommend!”
“Javier and Enrique (father & son) have been my son's mechanics for a loooong time! They will go out of their way to help you! It's a bit pricey for my budget (this time), but my car was fixed with no further problems so far! TY”
“When your transmission acts funny it always seems like an emergency. ER got us in right away and diagnosed the problem quickly. They gave us a couple options and practical advice. Straight-shooters and would recommend.”

“Paul at Broadway automotive and transmission has been helping me to safely. Keep my older model car on the road until I’m ready to buy a new one. He worked out a personal maintenance plan that made sure the car was roadworthy but not cost me a lot of money. Great guy, great to work with and reasonable prices— great service!”
