I have been going to Tri Valley Car Care for years. They are honest, hard working and provide quality service. Chris and his family are always friendly and helpful. I appreciate their policy's and quick turnaround. I've heard horror stories from other mechanic shops. I can only recommend this family owned business.

I needed to get SMOG test done for my miniVan and I came to know About Tri Valley Car Care online search. I stopped by on a Thursday morning, there were no lines, was greeted well. They accepted their coupon too and they took care of my car quickly. I was on my way in 15 minutes or so. Would definitely recommend at least for smog checks.

I read about people recommending Tri Valley Car Care and needed to get my car smogged. I stopped by in the morning with a friendly greeting from the lady at the counter and I was on my way in 20 minutes. I'll probably come back if I need more stuff done in the future. Would definitely recommend.

I've been going here for smog checks for years and the service is consistently excellent. Today was the best: took me right away and the car was done before I had a chance to walk to the nearby convenience store and back. Reasonably priced, friendly and efficient: it doesn't get any better than that.

Quick, efficient service!I came here on a weekday morning and I was in and out in 20 minutes. The staff here are friendly and helpful. The waiting room is clean and airy, but you don't have to wait there long! Prices are reasonable (they have a coupon online). I'll be returning for future smog tests. :)

Tri Valley Car Care has two automotive businesses, one dedicated to smog checks and the other offering full repair and maintenance services. I've been taking my cars to Tri-Valley for all my automotive repair needs for over 2 years now. Chris is the consummate professional that provides clear communication on costs and timelines for all repairs. I highly recommend them for all your car care needs.

Honored my coupon and I was out in 15 minutes. If it had taken longer, there were a few businesses across the street I could've taken a walk, but it wasn't necessary.

You know you've found a winner of a shop when they:a) Take on work that other shops shy away from or refuse due to the complexity.b) Do it with a friendly "can do" spirit.c) Do it for a very reasonable price...less than as half the quotes of some other shops.My wife has a 2004 Ford Explorer that needed one of the costliest services possible short of an entire engine replacement...a new timing belt. This job for this car is, in fact, so labor intensive that the engine must be completely removed just to perform the repair. Many of the shops I called in the Walnut Creek area where I live simply declined the work, explaining that they didn't have the bandwidth to spare a mechanic for the 3-4 days needed to do the work. Other shops gave me quotes north of $6K which I later learned is a shop's alternative method of declining the job. Yet other shops wouldn't give me direct quote but wanted to charge as much as $400 for an evaluation that would NOT be applied to the work, even though I was confident it was a timing belt issue!A tire shop I use regularly referred me to Tri-Valley Car Care. Chris and his team first performed a complementary evaluation of the entire vehicle and in a consultative manner, helped me decide if the repair made sense based on the car's age, miles, and overall condition. One could argue that based on the car's blue book value, it didn't.Nevertheless, with the quote that Chris gave me of a little more that 3K, and an otherwise great report card for the car, my wife and I decided that, at this present time, repair made more sense than a new car. Ultimately, Chris and his Tri Valley team came through in a big way! Not only does the Explorer run fantastic, but several weeks later, when I called Chris for reassurance that the car could handle a road trip with just my wife and 4-year-old son from Walnut Creek through the desert to Arizona, he responded that for a trip like this he would like to give it one more thorough inspection to be safe. And he did, at no charge! Seriously, could you ask any more of a repair shop?By the way, this Explorer with over 130K miles, made the 1,850-round trip without a hitch!There aren't enough Yelp stars for a service provider that keeps your family safe.Thanks to Chris and the Tri-Valley team. I won't take my car anywhere else for repair.
