“Went in for an oil change, they did an awesome job, will be my go to place for my future oil changes.. thank u,,,there customer service is top notch...and there prices are in line with other places, they even gave me a coupon discount even though I forgot to coupon, thank u.”

“This is a great repair shop. Nice and helpful employees. I have now taken two of my cars here. Every time, they deliver more than I expect: from lower than expected costs, advice on extending the life of my car, or helping me determine necessary vs nice-to-have repairs.”

“So it’s been exactly 1 week since I got my car back from the shop ?I had an electrical issue. (Wires)When I would press the start button to turn off my car, the engine wouldn’t shut off right away. It would take a few minutes. It would shake until it would force itself off… then my headlight would turn itself ON. (Yes, the lights were OFF) So b/c there was no other way for me to turn off, a button that was already off.. it would kill my battery… which would make me jump my car every other day when it wouldn’t turn off properly.Anyway… I had already made an appointment at a Ford dealership in San Leandro for an oil change.. then I included the issue above. I had my car there for a lil over a week, I spoke with him the weekend after drop off (monday), and the day of pick up (the next Monday). I couldn’t get a hold of him throughout the time my car was getting looked at.I called & spoke w/a few other ppl then I eventually spoke w/manager who told me he would get the guy assigned to me to reach out, which he never did. When I picked up the car, they said they couldn’t find anything.A day after, the car started doing the same thing, I dropped my car off after hours (b/c of work)Spoke to someone new, asked for someone different for the lack of communication, the new guy didn’t like that so much, so I took my car to the Ford dealership in Fremont,They ran another diagnostic (2), they too said they could not find anything, but that my oil was over filled & that I needed another one (drain out and put new), something about a lid under the hood needed fixing which would cost $1800, and I have bad tires in the front. They too had issues with communication, but it was kinda better then San Leandro..+ it was there a lil over a week b/c I had to wait 3 days for someone to run a diagnostic ?I honestly felt discouraged, and I didn’t know who to trust.Then I went ahead and took it to Managal Motors, because I remember having a good experience with my rotors getting replaced a few years ago.I called in, I dropped my car off the day of. I was told that they were going to run another diagnostic (3) and that it would take some time to find out the issue of the car. They called for questions about it before working on it, plus called in again to let me know what they were doing, and what he thought the issue might be, and then I got a text of a receipt & a call it was ready. I dropped it off before their shopped closed on a Tuesday, and got the car back on Monday (they had it fixed less then a week!)I haven’t had any issues with the engine turning off, or no spooky lights turning on by itself since ☺️☺️☺️☺️ & I was also told about my bad ties in front. (Which I did know about, I had my back tires changed, and I was working towards the front… anyway) I felt like they actually took the time out to find out what was wrong w/ my car, & kept in communication, and my car wasn’t even with them for a whole week.I’m not sorry for the long review, I’ve been really frustrated with the lost of money,time and lack of communication and trust. I’m so thankful that my car is back up n running.? THANK YOU MANGALE MOTORS!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Ps. I had some burnt wires (from a car accident) that needed to be replaced, and the total cost was $537.69Which includes a diagnostic, parts, & labor.”

“Great service, friendly people, easy to schedule. I like how they look over your vehicle to check for other things that need attention but are not pushy about selling you more services. Also they clean your vehicle!”

“I’ve taken 2 Audi A6 vehicles here and had excellent experiences. Their estimates will beat what the dealership charges, which I greatly appreciate because dealerships always overcharge. The work done is exactly as it should be. I’ve always been a satisfied customer and highly recommend this business. They can get your car in for service quickly and get the work done same day (depending on what you need).Service: Brakes”

“Thank you to Jason for patiently answering all my questions and for getting the car done quickly. We loved the office dog (hi, Tyson!!!) and we found everyone we dealt with to be friendly and helpful. What I was quoted on the phone was exactly what was needed, they really could have taken advantage of me and upsold me a bunch of unnecessary things, but they didn't. Glad to have found an honest mechanic.”

“I got hit for the second time in less than a year. D & S did the repair both times and I couldn’t be more pleased. Michelle was wonderful to work with and made a frustrating experience much easier. I highly highly recommend D&S for all your Body repairs.Services: Steering & suspension repair”

“New to the area and tried Cat's auto shop as most reviews I read online that Cat provided a honest and efficient service. Didn't try to sell me on anything I didn't need and only did the work I needed. Walked me through everything he checked and answered all my questions.Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a mechanic. Excellent service and good character - a rare find.”

“The team at legacy transmissions is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They did a great job with diagnosis and were extremely accommodating with scheduling. They expertly diagnosed a very niche issue with my 1988 Land Cruiser and had it quickly repaired. Highly recommend these folks.”

“Honest, affordable, and reliable. I grew up in a family of mechanics. My dad owns his own shop with my brothers. Unfortunately they’re in another state. But Dan and Austin fill the void of having a trustworthy mechanic close. They’ve repaired both my cars and given me advice and help - multiple times telling saving me both headache and money. They’re amazing!Services: Tires”

“My grandpa used K&C's for who knows how long before my Grandparents passed. My mom remembered how much my Grandpa would rave about the mechanic who kept their vehicles running (and bought my grandmas Mercedes from). Well after their passing, my car needed work so I gave them a call and brought in my Jeep. I've had random things go out, my Throttle Body, Multi Function Switch. I've needed some batteries replaced, the spark plugs done, oil changes, etc. Each issue I have had, Kevin has run the diagnostics on the car, and then researched the problems. He is honest, doesn't overcharge and they get the work done. Today, my car died and Kevin almost came to jump my car for me but AAA was there quickly. I was able to get my car over to him and he stopped what he was doing and went to replace my battery and replace the terminals as they were bad. He's worked on my mom, stepfather, and brothers cars. We truly feel blessed and happy that we have him and that Ryan (and Honey) greet us when we have to come in. He's the person you don't want to use, but are happy to have on speed dial. Thank you from us all for keeping us on the road Kevin, Ryan and Crew. Samantha Henshaw”

“WOW! What excellent customer service. I had a unexpected flat tire and they were able to put on my spare with no problem, order my new tire and replace it first thing in the morning. The mechanic who changed my tire (I think Eric) was great at explaining some tire knowledge for my own reference. I highly recommend them.”

“Nabi is the most trustworthy mechanic we've ever had. Not only that, he is a wonderful, personable, gentle, and hard-working man with outstanding morals - just what you want in someone you trust your car to. I want to keep him all to myself, but he deserves another good review because he's the best there is. Fair prices, great and quick service, quality work. Nabi is # 1!”

“Irving Louison is a legend! He's a highly skilled professional, the team and European Autotech provided unwavering selfless service. After replacing numerous components in my 2011 Audi A3, including the turbocharger, I left feeling as if I were driving a brand-new car. The team demonstrated professionalism, accommodation, and responsiveness to my requirements. High integrity and highly recommended.”

“I recently had my car serviced at Empire Automotive and I couldn't be happier. Riz and Jason were fantastic. They were incredibly courteous and honest. The quality of their work was excellent, and they even went above and beyond by offering pick up and drop off services when I was in a pinch. To top it off, they cleaned my car due to a slight delay, which I really appreciated. And the best part? Their pricing was reasonable. I highly recommend them for all your auto maintenance needs! ??”

“Great one stop shop for all car-related needs.I’ve used them for routine maintenance, repairs, smog check, installing new components, glass repair; really any issue that comes up.

“Zoom Transmission helped me to figure out my Honda Pilot transmission issue. David the owner professionally done the diagnostic and analysis for free. He advised us what will be the best thing to do. He treated us like a family even though our first time to met him. I’m highly recommended them because their pricing is more lower than other competitors and they give a quality results . I’m so happy doing business to them.”

“It's not easy to find a shop nowadays that just takes your car in and diagnoses it within a couple of hours - but they do it. I recommend this shop if you're looking for knowledgeable and quick diagnosis or service.”

“Eric, Sandra and the whole team are awesome and professional! Second time taking a vehicle in to get an inspection and the service is always great.If you’re looking for a reliable and reputable mechanic shop, Auto doctor is the place.”

“I love this shop! Ty is nothing short of amazing so glad I came across him! Patient, quick, and gets the job done! And understand every “thingy” I’m talking about ?”

“Brought in my car for a check engine light and ended up being diagnosed with some major problems. Now, he could easily have taken my money and done this major repair, but he actually cautioned us against this and suggested we pursue help from the manufacturer since my car wasn’t very old, and had fairly low mileage. Thanks to him, after a lengthy back and forth with the manufacturer, we are saving THOUSANDS on this repair. So grateful that he was so honest and gave us advice that was truly in our best interest. We will be referring friends and family here for their needs! One family member has already had a repair done and was happy with the service and pricing. Good, honest shop! You won’t regret bringing them your business.”

“This marked my first visit to Mark's Transmission, now formally known as MTS Transmission, and I must admit, I've never had a better experience dealing with mechanics. Initially, I took my Jeep Wrangler to the dealership, where they proposed replacing the entire rear differential at a steep price. However, upon a recommendation, I visited MTS Transmission, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Mark was exceptionally pleasant and patient. He took the time to inspect my Jeep thoroughly and provided a detailed explanation of the issue. Contrary to the dealership's recommendation, it was determined that my Jeep didn't require a full rear differential replacement, but rather just the rear differential carrier, along with the installation of new side bearings and rear axle bearings, which resulted in a much more reasonable overall cost. I will certainly return in the future. Many thanks to Mark and his team for their assistance and efforts in getting my Jeep back on the road.”

“Mr Malhi is the most honest and trustworthy person, he has deep knowledge and provides service which is priced reasonably and he makes sure that his customers spend only that much what is required. Excellent service, honest business and a very good person”

“one of Hayward's top auto repair shops. I was recommended to this store by my brother. Always give me sound advice instead than just generating money and keeping their word. I've been going here for three years. Genuine auto components and very affordable labour are also available. I advise everyone who lives in the Hayward area to visit this store for the best service. Last but not least, I would like to thank Mr. Goldy, the shop's owner, for his excellent service and high-quality products.”

“Went in for an oil change and overall inspection. The processes are streamlined with text messages notifying me of inspection report, and when my car was ready for pick up. Also very friendly staff!”

“David is a ZF transmission master who deals with a ton of shops that send their transmissions to him to rebuild. I work at a shop that sends out our transmissions to him and he knows his stuff. I sent a ZF5HP-24 (my personal car) for a rebuild and got it back in a few days. Great work.”

“I came in originally to have my transmission fixed (my car could not go in reverse). Mike made a great impression from the beginning. He was courteous, friendly, and very helpful. In addition to fixing a stripped gear he also noticed a bad bearing and replaced that as well. The price was also reasonable. In addition to that he fixed a leaky oil pan and did other general servicing on my car. When I had a problem getting the car smogged due to no power in my OBD 2 port; Mike went above and beyond to help me resolve the problem. Because of my experience I will highly recommend Walts Transmission to my friends and family!!!”

“So I used to go the Lim Express which is right next to Pacific Lee Auto, so I knew of them. Well my car broke down this past Friday (day after Thanksgiving‍) and I had my AAA tow my car to Lim's. Called with no answer, but I noticed the Lim sign was gone. Didn't think about it so I left my car there in front of Pacific's with a note. Sunday evening I checked Google and found that Lims was PERMINENTLY CLOSED!!!! So I called and left a message for Pacific Lee. Monday morning, Mike of Pacific Lee Auto called me and confirmed that my regular mechanic closed down. And of course I asked if he could service my car and he said he would be happy to. My car was completely fixed with new, high quality parts, later that day for a very fair price.Since I wasn't able to pick up my car because I had to be in SF for surgery the next morning, I was able to pay him by Zelle. And he drove my car to my house (I live very close to the shop) and dropped it off so that it didn't have to stay there. GREAT attitude, knowledgeable and kind, honest.I'm a satisfied customer. And Mike is now my new mechanic!!!!!”

“No nonsense very professional great price and extremely informative! As a woman I've experienced mechanics who try to swindle me or don't take the time to explain what exactly is going on with my car. He educates you about how each piece works and why it broke in the first place and what preventive measures that need to be implemented.”
