“These guys at Motorpool are the best! You can't find better, from the boss to all of the workers. I've met a lot of them! Chris, the gentleman that usually answers the phone and makes my appointments, is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and is super friendly too. You'll love these guys. Try them out!

“The team at AutoTec is always friendly, fast, professional and gets the job done. I’ve been going to them for years for service, maintenance and problem solving.”
“This review is a long time coming
Nitesh and his wife run this auto repair shop with their crew and what a gem they are!
Only place where I’ve felt safe to bring my vehicle to be fixed because of their integrity and honesty.
Feels like I have parents that happen to own an auto shop hahaha!”
“A few weeks ago my wife and I were on the way to breakfast and we realized that we were behind on our oil change. We had never been to Scotty's, but we have heard many good things about the shop. We called the shop and we were told they were booked for a couple of weeks, but if we came in right away they could get us in and out. We dropped what we were doing and we headed over there. It was amazing service and the team was so nice and helpful. When we got there Dave recommended a couple of breakfast places since we were already on the way to breakfast. The oil change was done a few minutes after we got back from breakfast. From the beginning to the end: the service, professionalism and price were the best that I could have asked for in any shop. Dave and team thank you so much for the great experience.”
“Had taken my Audi to this place after the basic warranty had expired. Nothing but great service from Ender and team. Great communication and workmanship. A couple of times after inspecting the car, they said there's no problem and didn't charge a diagbostic fee.”
“Great experience from beginning to end. I called the shop on a Monday to ask about having my VVT kit installed on my Mazdaspeed 3. It was due for a the service as it was never changed out and I started to hear a bit of rattle. They were quick to answer my questions and provide me with an estimate. I made the appointment for Thursday and the car was ready the next day to be picked up. They called and informed me that my Power steering hose was cracked and they swapped it out and did an oil change during the initial service and the car was ready to be picked up.I picked up the car started it and it now runs much smoother and quieter. Great service and will be sure to come back again for other services.Glad I chose them, it was a right sign especially after arriving and seeing 3 Mazdaspeed 3's being serviced and a very clean Mazdaspeed 6 (shop owners) car sitting there when I picked mine up.If you drive a Mazda, please do yourself a favor and come here.”
“Nic has serviced my Range Rovers for almost 20 years, and I followed him to Exclusive British European to continue the relationship. I've even had him do work on my Ford Truck. My wife also goes there for trustworthy auto service. We rely on their capability and integrity, and have not been disappointed. Nic and EBE have earned our respect and remain our "go to" auto service place.”
“I had a metallic squealing in the front wheel of my ev - Los Gatos Auto Service was very flexible and friendly, fit me in to have a look at the wheel, and diagnosed the issue. Highly recommend their great customer service and expertise.”
“Great shop, great service, great people!
I was long overdue service on my 2007 Lexus IS350. I got the car back in 2017 with 85k miles and had basically only done oil changes all the way till now (125k miles, August 2024).
I wanted to get the car ready for another 100k miles without any headaches. I saw some oil leaking in my garage and wanted that inspected and fixed as well.
Thomas advised me to get some additional items done since we already had the water pump and transmission fluid on the list, and I agreed. Worry free for a long long time now!
I really liked how they send you pictures on what they found, and show you the work they did.
Here’s everything I got done:
- Cabin air filter replaced
- Brake fluid
- Engine oil dipstick tube seal replaced
- Differential fluid change
- Transmission fluid drain & fill
- Transmission filter replaced
- Transmission pan gasket
- Coolant flush
- Water pump & Serpentine Drive Belt
- Radiator replaced
- Upper radiator coolant hose replaced
- Lower radiator coolant hose replaced
- Radiator cap replaced”
“I have had two transmission rebuilt by Kevin. Both still going strong. Kevin was super helpful in suggesting some different gear ratios for a classic truck transmission swap. Great place and quick service.”
“Super service! My car failed to start when I left the hospital after visiting my husband and I had to get a jump start. I called and asked #1 Auto Repair and Smog if he could take me right away instead of waiting for my appointment. He said yes right away. He fixed the starter, did an oil change, and did a smog test within 24 hours. He noticed the pressure on my tires was low and fixed it! Great service, fast turnaround, and fair price!”
“I have been going here for years and years and cars and cars. The new owner took it over from the old owner and they absolutely provide dealer quality service.
All you need to do is walk into the shop and say hello to Bob and you're going to know.”
“My car was making noise and I was worried. Took the car in and Joe said it's the struts. I'll take it in for car service in a couple of months and he will do the struts and service at that time. Don't have to worry about the rattling sound. Car won't fall apart....”
“Anthony and his suspension specialist efficiently corrected a loose connection that appreciably reduced steering responsiveness for a 1992 Acura Legend L.
As a new customer, Anthony treated me like family!”
“Steve loves what he does and it shows in the quality of his work and the talented crew behind him. He is also a fun guy to hang with and learn about the amazing history of these wonderful cars. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else”
“I was stranded with my family of 4 in San Jose due to an overheating engine and Stewart and Lori offered me fast, honest and very affordable service. I highly recommend this shop”
“For 15+ years I have been taking my cars for routine/emergency maintenance to BAMW. William and his team are accommodating and trustworthy. He will often take care of a simple fix for free. You can tell William takes pride in his business as the shop is always spotless”
“I have taken my vehicles to Marco for years and he is honest and straightforward. He has always gone above and beyond to take care of my family and friend’s cars. I highly recommend you take your vehicle to him and give him a try.”
“I've been going to Adam for 42 years now (since I learned how to drive). He always does an amazing job on my car, never will over charge for or work on something you don't need! Thank you Adam for everything you do! Honest work, honest guy. Tina”
“Had a pre-purchase inspection done with Don for a used car I was looking at. He did a very thorough job with the inspection and gave me the confirmation I was hoping for to move forward with the purchase, going through all the details of what he found. I would not hesitate to go back to him for maintenance for my new (old) Porsche!”
“This is a well respected Volvo only shop. The local dealers even recognize them as being very good. I've been bringing my Volvos here for 30 years and have been very happy. Walter was there, even back then, using the microfiche to find part numbers for my 1973. You won't find better explanations of work needed or done, and won't find a more honest and fair manager than Walter.”
“I brought my VW Golf here for an oil and transmission fluid service and was pleased with the professionalism of the team at Peninsula Automotive. They contacted me when my quote was ready and also sent me a thank you card after my visit which I thought was very classy. I will certainly bring my vehicle back to Peninsula Automotive when the time comes!”
“I can't say enough about my experience with B&J Automotive. Mark, the owner, was absolutely awesome. He not only repaired my vehicle by the end of the day as promised but also went the extra mile by pre-ordering parts for a secondary repair, just in case I decided to authorize it. This proactive approach ensured that everything was done by the end of the day, which was a huge relief for me.
The level of service at B&J Automotive is truly exceptional. They are not only efficient and reliable but also incredibly thoughtful and considerate of their customers' needs. I've already recommended this shop to multiple coworkers, and I'll definitely be returning for any future automotive needs. Highly recommended!”
“Love this shop! Really transparent and detailed with their estimates. Inspections are on point. Fabrication work level is master-tier. There really isn’t anything that they can’t do. Personally my favorite shop in south bay. Josh is a great personable guy and so are the rest of the crew!”
“Their name is spot on!!I Had an out of state purchase for a vehicle.After calling 10 different places this shop stood out by their helpful info and recommendations.They completed my inspection and gave me a thorough report.Friendly, easy to work with and very professional!!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
“I have been going to Tim for over ten years. There are not enough good things I can say about him. He has worked on everything I have brought to him and I recommend him to everyone looking for a great mechanic.
Tim is one of those rare mechanics that wants to help you, not fleece you. He is not the cheapest mechanic in town, nor an expensive dealership. He is somewhere in between. He uses OEM parts so don’t bring your own, it’s a warranty issue and he wont install them. Best of all he won’t up sell you on unneeded maintenance. If he does find an issue with your car beyond the scope of the repair while he’s working on it, he will call you let you know what he found, how much time he thinks you have, and let you make an informed decision.
My one key advice to anyone going to see him, be honest about what is going on with your car and previous work people that have worked on it. One way or another he will figure it out. He can figure the problem out a lot faster if he knows the history of the vehicle.
Tim is usually swamped mainly due to his popularity, call him in advance and arrange an appointment and be ready to leave your car there and not wait for it unless he says its ok in advance. He is a great mechanic, not a magician.
If you take a car to a cheap mechanic, you usually get what you pay for. If you take your car to Tim you will be happier in the long term.
Tim cares about his customers and when you find a mechanic this good, he eventually becomes a trusted member of your family.”
“When it comes to auto repair/service, I've never been spoken to the way Kevin did. We talked for a good 15 minutes after my car was done, and not all about my car, but about life and the value you get when you seek people who care. Let me tell you what a breath of fresh air that was. A place where I could let my guard down and cancel all my thoughts you typically go in with when it comes to car service "this person just wants to gouge me".
We spoke on the phone a week prior to him squeezing me in, to accommodate my schedule because I was coming from afar. I was there at 9am sharp and his technician Gabe was there to greet me and check me in. You can tell a lot from Gabe that he is instilled with the same values that Kevin demonstrates. They are 100% in sync which assured me even further that I was in good hands. They went over and above then what I asked at a more than fair cost and gained a lifetime customer.
If you need Toyota or Lexus car service look no further. At this point I would come from out of state to see Kevin and the team. 5 STARS - Thank you and see you guys again!”
“Great group of guys that are professional easy going and very detailed. If you're looking for a great repair shop this is the place. The prices aren't the cheapest but also they are not overly inflated, you get what you pay for.”
