“Excellent care. Fine mechanics. Incredible efficiency: bills and estimates all on line. Car ready way ahead of my expectations. Couldn’t ask for more for my beautiful 1983 MBZ 300D!”
“About a month go, my tire light came on and didn't feel comfortable driving all the way home from work so I stopped by here to have it checked. turns out, near the valve of the tire was damaged. So had them replace it. 15 mins later and $35 I was on my way. I noticed they did other services besides tires and made mental note.So, now it's been a minute (ok, about a year) since I had my old changed. Light never came on, but then my commute is 8 minutes and not 25 miles which could sometimes take me an 1.5 when I lived down south. I also had a great mechanic in LB so was hesitant and I sure as hell wasn't going to pay dealership service charges and then tell me I needed something "extra". Got off work early and called to see if they had availability for that day. Yes they did. 5 mins later, I was here (conveniently located near my job) no frills, no upcharge and 30 min later, and 79.00 voila, synthetic oil change and good to go for another 6 months. Friendly, better bureau registered and registered with State of CA. Legit service. Cash or Debit card only. Says it on the wall, I'm saying it in the review so no excuse to say ya didnt know.”
“Thought I'd already rated them 5 stars, but even if I did they'd deserve another 5 star review. I've been going to them for almost 19 years, and every single time I've gotten quick service for a very reasonable price. Best mechanic I've ever been to.”
“This was my first visit to Fred's Wrenchouse, and I had a great experience. My repair could have cost more than it did, but they simply did what was necessary to make my car both driveable and aesthetically pleasing and I was on my way a few hours later. This process was made easier because after I dropped my car off in the morning, I was able to go around the corner to Pete's coffee and worked there for 4-4.5 hours on my laptop, and my car was ready to be picked up before 2 PM. Clearly, with all their high ratings here on Yelp, this business doesn't need another one, but I think it's important to keep reviewing so that new customers know they are still doing quality work, in a reasonable amount of time, for a fair market price, and not doing more/charging more if it isn't needed. I had the repair completed the first few days of October 2023, and 6 weeks later it's still feeling solid and my car drives so much more smoothly after the fact.”
“Cliff is the man! Has everything one can look for when finding the right mechanic. Extremely knowledgeable, top quality service, nice and friendly, and on top of that, good prices added with cost saving advices! Almost reluctant to recommend as it's pretty obvious why Cliff's schedule is packed!Services: Electrical repair”
“Great local shop. Brought my van in for an issue I thought it had and they told me that everything was fine. Didn’t try to upcharge me or offer services that weren’t needed. I wish more garages were like this.”
“I've had the good fortune of meeting Goitom 15+years ago. And have never bought tires anywhere else since. He is fair, honorable, and he works with a very stable crew of folk. Mid-day waits can be long for a simple repair. But listening to his crew of happy customers all share their stories is worth the time spent.”
“The most organized and communicative garage I've ever seen. Everything is classy and top notch and the prices are reasonable! I am so happy I found this garage and will use them for all maintenance on my RAV4! Highly recommended!”
“Awesome shop. Had to visit twice in different months for different tires , unfortunately .Family owned , very friendly , Very fast service, picking up calls super quick , no annoying hold music . They do a lot of other things than just tires - oil change , breaks , wipersVery happy have referred a few folks .”
“The men at the Berkeley location were awesome. I got a few things done Saturday afternoon and the manager gave me a discount which was a perk to my wallet. Thank you guys for having such lively and uplifting mindset. I’ll definitely be back for my next oil change and transmission service :)Services: Air & cabin filter replacement”
“George and Loren always take great care of my car! I needed a simple oil change today that was completed within 1.5 hours! We also discussed upcoming recommended service/costs.Excellent work, fair pricing and easy communication! Highly recommend!”
“I've been going to Square Deal for 5 years now and I'm never disappointed with their services. Good service at a good price. I never get the impression they're trying to gouge me. Highly recommended.”
“Amazing service, thorough and honest. The best price I've ever had for work on my Audi- by far. My car had a bunch of issues and they told me which were worth fixing and which, they thought, were too expensive to warrant the fix. I will be a loyal customer from now on!”
“I've been coming here for years -- this has been my go-to auto shop for the past 10+ years. Harrison and his team are fantastic - professional and honest and overall it's always a positive experience. I moved out of SF over 4 years ago and I still come here for any auto needs because it's hard to find a trustworthy place and this place is definitely trustworthy.”
“There were two young men helping me this morning. Early on a saturday. They were efficient and polite. I love to see young men out here working on a Saturday morning, these parents should be proud! This will be my go to spot, from here on out!! To the young men who helped me this morning, Keep up the good work! And THANK YOU”
“I was very wary of going to anybody but my usual mechanic but I was stuck in island for a couple of weeks and my regular guy had rushed to replace the transmission in my Tahoe before I left and hadn't had time for the oil change. I never, ever go past 5000 miles, especially in warm weather, so it was nagging on me to get it done. The price was fair and the guys were fast, I told them what I did and didn't want done and that the car takes 8 quarts 0w20. So far so good.”
“The only thing to ding these guys on was that they were swamped- but that speaks to my great experience. I came in on a recommendation to get a tire replaced. They discovered when I brought it in that another tire had a nail in it. They called and let me know and I said "go ahead" (because why wouldn't you get a nail fixed? They finished the job and even cleaned the car!One thing that was also amazing was when I got stuck with work stuff down on the peninsula, they were okay with the car hanging out overnight because I couldn't get back by close. Super nice and a great job. Three thumbs up.”
“The Garage was super helpful and efficient in fixing my car. They were willing to explain all the needs/estimates in detail and were receptive to my many questions. They fixed the car quickly and for a reasonable price. Highly recommend.”
“They work with there customers some times cars have problems but they go the extra mile to fix whatever and make The customer happy I hVe bought 2 cars there you should but your next car there”
“My car broke down last Thursday, and I was trying to find a mechanic to take my car to. Car Care Service was very responsive and was able to accommodate my tow-in at the last minute. Long was friendly and helped me complete my intake paper quickly right before they closed. My car is running great and the price for the repair of my alternator it was pretty reasonable. I am very glad that I was introduced to this mechanic and will be coming back if I need service.”
“It'd be 5 stars if the place we're a bit bigger. The staff can't do anything about that though. If you're coming at rush time you'll probably be stuck in the street waiting in line which can get awkward. But the service is great everyone knows what they're doing. Once you get to the front it goes by pretty quickly. They also do courtesy checks for your transmission fluid and some other things. Overall it's a nice experience.”
“Took my BMW here and safe to say I will be bringing my car here going forward for any work it needs. Justin and his team were extremely helpful and kind throughout the whole process, definitely recommend!”
“I’ve been a constant customer of Winco for the last 24 years! Hugh the owner is a man of integrity and honesty he does his best always and takes care of all my car issues.He’s a good friend as well over the long years I’ve known him.I trust him blindly”
“My dash had the low tire pressure icon, and since I had an older model car I couldn't tell which one it was. None of the nearby gas stations had a pressure gauge, so I took my car here and Craig was very friendly and professional! He pumped air free of charge into all the tires, inspected them briefly, and said if there's any issues to come right on back. Turns out there weren't any additional issues after that, but if it comes up I'm definitely coming here. Craig felt like family! Thanks for taking care of my car.”
“Dan is a life saver! I picked up a tire flat and I called a couple places near by but they had appointments and couldn’t get me me. One of the places turned out to be Dan’s younger brother (Henry). Henry said Dan can get me in. It worked out perfectly! Dan took care of me immediately.”
“Face it, having a car these days isn't cheap. I'd rather bring my 17-year-old Honda Civic Hybrid to a clean, professional shop like Plaza where folks are trustworthy, knowledgable, and above board about everything--and take the time to explain matters if you ask. Simply the finest auto repair shop ever.”
“Adam is the owner and mechanic here. He's honest to a fault and just an all around awesome guy, try to go when he's not busy to get a good story!Thanks for everything Adam, see you in about a year.-Andrew”
“I usually do all the work on my car myself. this time I changed out my VCT valves on my 2008 Ford expedition. after putting it all back together I took it for a road test and it started spitting. I called up B A auto repair and explain to the owners, what I replaced on my engine and told him the problem that it was having, that was on Monday and was told to bring it in Tuesday morning. Showed up a little bit before 11 o’clock The mechanic did a diagnostics, and explain to me what was going on I go ahead and fix it, and since they had the vehicle go ahead and change the spark plugs. I would like to say they were very professional and did an excellent job and were done with my car in about 2 1/2 hours.I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get their vehicles worked on”

“Before hitting the road for a long drive, I wanted to double-check if my car's engine oil was all good. When I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by the owner's kindness—carefully answering my questions and checking areas I might have missed. I know I'll be coming back here.”
