Totally agree with the other 5 star reviews, Jose is very honest and trusted. He fixed the problems with the lights of my 2009 Corolla, which turned out to be more than what imagined. I live close by and showed up at his store after reading the other reviews. He fixed the car on the spot while I was waiting for a great price. I will definitely go there again any time I have a problem.

This guy is masterful at helping you with your smog problems. He helped me solve a problem I've been working on for a year and he figured it out in one minute of talking to me. If you can't pass smog, he's the guy to talk to!

Review is looong over due. Broke down on the grapevine last year with the family and friends. Told by the 'only-player-in-town-tow-and-repair-co' that my vehicle was a total loss and offered to "take it off my hands" in exchange for the pending $800+ diagnosis fee (they had to take engine apart). My friend with recommended I call her mechanic Jose who owns Tecknica Auto in El Cerrito before making any decisions. Sent Jose copy of work estimate and diagnosis. Jose said 'no way' to the total loss/diagnosis fee exchange, instead he connected me with a mechanic friend of his in Los Angeles. AAA towed my car to Jose's friend's shop in the valley (AAA+ = 200 miles!). Thanks to Jose, more than a year later I'm still driving my beautiful car.

Honestly, I can’t believe what an amazing human being Jose is. I was in need of immediate help and I called him after seeing his reviews and felt i could trust him and he said he would take a look and I was finished in less then a half hour and he educated me on so many things I was in need of, he made my whole day. I was having the worst day of my life, waking up to my truck being stolen and needing some work done on my other vehicle to be able to transport my daughter and he was such an amazing person, not just a mechanic. He is very educated in what he does and he definitely gained a new customer!! It’s not just about dollar sign to him, he takes pride in the work he does and is so honest. I can’t recommend him enough!!

Jose is the best mechanic I have ever encountered. I trust him 100% because he is always straight-up honest. He is willing to explain things to people like me who know nothing about cars in a way that doesn't make me feel stupid. I have referred several friends and family members to him and everyone has been very satisfied.

José is an incredible and honest mechanic. Will definitely give you an honest assessment and let you know if he’s best for the job. If not, he will find the right person. He gave my 1982 bmw a very thoughtful look over he had great suggestions to move forward with repairs. So hard to find a mechanic like José and I recommend him without hesitation.

I had problems with my brake system ( brake pedal so spongy and go all the way doing to the floor ) I lost 70% of brake power I can barely stop the car in a low speed . I took my car to Jose cuz a friend of mine recommended him and it was a great choice . Jose is a nice honest guy he spend time explaining all the details about the problem in your car and inform you for everything he did to the car . The price also is reasonable . I’m happy with the results.Service: Brakes

Jose thoroughly diagnosed a very tricky electrical issue with my Subaru that 3 other mechanics could not get to the bottom of. He helped me keep the costs low by suggesting where I could source a salvage replacement part and charged a very reasonable amount. Highly recommend.

A one man shop with quality work in mind. It really shows. I usually work on my car and I am always reluctant to let others touch my vehicles . But having seen the quality of work Jose performs on all his customers cars, I am happy to have found someone who I can trust. Thanks for the amazing clean job on the water pump!!! I will surely be back when other things are need.

WOW!! Jose is super nice and made me feel very comfortable as a woman. I went in for an inspection for a 2003 toyota matrix I just got thinking there's probably a milllion things wrong with it. Jose didn't try to up sale or take advantage of me. Instead, he gave really good advice (using quality parts for long term durability), explained step by step about the findings of the inspection (which was very educational), and suggested on what repairs should be done soon/what can wait til next year. I appreciate his honesty. Jose wants to help his customers save money and went above and beyond to fix the little things on my car (he even changed my windshield wiper and showed me how to do it :D). I will continue to give Jose my business as long as I own a car and will refer all my friends and family to him! You got a customer for life!

Jose is the most honest and knowledgeable mechanic I've ever known. He is very fairly priced and quick. He educates you on all of the whats/hows/whys and will recommend the best course of action without any attitude or pressure.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Too busy to work on cars even if you have parts and wait months. After waiting two months and sourcing all the parts for the job he took my car for three days and did nothing. If you're gonna go here maybe do it in 6 months or a year when he can handle managing his time correctly. He completely wasted my time and now it's costing me money to not have a vehicle for work. Two stars because he didn't charge for diagnostic.

There’s nobody I trust more than Jose. He has so much experience and has your best interest in mind. I’ve had Volkswagen GTI, mustangs new and old, corvettes, and Corolla, he does it ALL and is so knowledgeable.

Truly the most honest, trustworthy mechanic I've ever met. Jose will go into detail with you everything he is doing with your automobile, and wont do anything he knows is not worth your while. I tell everyone to go to him. Thank you Jose.
