Transmission Repair near Los Altos, CA

“This shop is professional, honest, reliable, experienced, accessible, friendly. They have fair prices and explain everything clearly…. We’re fortunate to have them available for all makes and models. We historically drove BMW’s but switched to Acura and are still Allied fans.”

“This is my favorite mechanic. I have been going to them for almost 10 years. I recommend them to everyone. They have been cheaper than other places I looked into but I feel like they always do great work. And I trust them more than any other mechanic I've ever had. I feel like they have my best interest at heart. One time I had my brakes need repair far sooner than expected. The dealership did not want to honor the warranty and were asking me to pay for the repair because of "wear and tear". So I brought my car to M&R (because I would rather pay them). And they told me to fight my dealership about the warranty. Instead of just taking the job, they gave me information about my brakes and ultimately I got the dealership to replace my brakes for free with M&R's encouragement.”

“Kevin’s Auto is a super honest shop with very fair prices. My family has taken all of our cars here for over 40 years. I am happy to recommend Kevin’s to my all of my friends and coworkers.”

“Trustworthy mechanics are hard to find, so don't overlook the folks at Japanese Beetle. They work on most (all?) Japanese cars and will work to find issues with your car. Highly recommend this place for manufacturers recommended service intervals instead of the dealership service department.”

“I took an Audi Q5 (now my daughter’s) here for a pre-purchase inspection. Kenneth presented a detailed report and explained all points of interest on the vehicle. I highly recommend Kenneth and his shop.”

“My old Jag was quite literally falling apart. Cerrone's found so many issues so quickly that I decided to donate the car to charity. Cerrone's went above and beyond in keeping my family safe and assisting in my car donation. Thank you, Cerrone's!Services: Vehicle Inspection”

“Besides the average wonderful repair service, these folks provide, they have bailed us out of so many situations. Recently, we purchased a car for our daughter and had to have it shipped out of state. We paid to have a trucking company pick the car up. The brakes were gone. Mike and his crew rallied, they found a new master cylinder and had the car repaired by noon. This saved us hundreds of dollars in cancellation fees. But honestly, this is just one of many many stories. We have five cars and an RV and there’s nothing that they can’t repair. Salt of the Earth people! We love them, and we miss them. We had to move away. ”

“Great group of people!! Took my 850 turbo in to diagnose a check engine code I had and they got to the bottom of the issue. Ordered the parts I need and happy to know what my root problem was. A little on the pricey side but experience doesnt come free… def coming back here again for anything beyond my skill setService: Auto engine diagnostic”

“My family brought our cars here when we lived in the Bay, and after a few years living in another state, I moved back and brought my car in for a regular service. Justin remembered my family after all those years and took great care of the car.A few weeks later I kept hearing a rattle when I was driving, so I took the car in and they checked it out - even getting a mechanic to ride with me on the highway to make sure they were hearing the same sound. Turns out living in a snowy place makes your car rust and rattle! Everything was resolved quickly and with great communication. Justin also called a lyft for me when I had to leave my car for an extended service, just highlighting how great this place is and how well they take care of their customers.They always send a report of what they've found and discuss next steps and what they recommend verus what you can save until the next visit. I really appreciate the time Justin took with me and making sure my car was all set for safe driving.Thanks to the team at A+ Japanese Auto Repair!”

“I have been coming to Yarnells’s since 1997 when I bought my first car and still continue to come here.Love the staff, the ease of scheduling and the fast and honest service.I know my cars have lasted as long as they have (until I have gotten bored and sold them ) because of them.Yarnells is like a spa check in for your car.Ps: they have dogs and the most mild tempered and non bothering babies. So please drive in carefully and don’t forget to pet them. They love some attention”

“My 2018 Mazda cx-5 battery was showing signs of wearing down (had to jump start once.) After my car warranty was over, I did not see any benefit in going to dealership and getting fleeced with exorbitant charges. Instead I went to Independence Car Service based on recommendation from a friend who has been going there for the past 15 years. I was not disappointed.They were very honest and transparent in their communication from the very beginning. I've seen other services recommending thousands of dollars of repairs after an inspection. The battery replacement was taken care of without any fuss. I also asked for a Tire rotation service and they let me know that I can do that for free at America's Tire since I bought my tires from them. I was pleasantly surprised at such honesty. I know where I am going for any car repairs from now on.”

“My family have trusted their car service for the last 20 years and always great price and great service! I have recommended Perform Transmission shop to all friends and coworkers and always with great satisfaction and all become returning customers.Services: Transmission”

“fast, friendly, and correctBeen using this shop for over a decade. All their work lasts. Their rebuilt engine has almost 80K miles so far. Decent pricing, too. And Mr. Reynoso is fun to speak with”

“Ricks the man.. he does great work and you can tell he cares about what he does. The work is detailed and nothing gets overlooked. Good work ain't cheap and cheap work ain't good but everything I've been priced for has been fair”

“Bavarium Autoworks did some work on my Mini and I was really happy with their service. They were knowledgeable and communicated with me throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them!”

“This guy is good! Smart, knows his cars, and reasonably priced. Tells you the issues in a language you understand. He kind of rules….unless you prefer overpaying and being underserved.I’ve had two Porshes I brought here. Superb service.”

“The transmission on our Toyota Siena van with 145k miles went out on New Years Eve. Brought it to Walter at Flores transmission. He diagnosed and said it’d be best to get a remanufactured one. Given the costs of cars today we figured it was best to fix. A few days later he had it up and running. We did have a hiccup after the initial pick up but Walter took care of the issue quickly. We’re 200 miles in and seems to be running super smooth.Service: Transmission”

“I had an interesting morning when my check engine light came on far from home. Luckily I had the pleasure of discovering Raymond. He fixed my 2011 Volvo up so I could get home. I ended up needing a new ignition coil and spark plug replacements. I also needed an oil change (not a normal service) but Raymond did this no questions asked. The pricing was great at Car Clinic. But the key take away was the service. It’s obvious that Raymond takes pride in his trade. He is honest, knowledgeable, talented and over all a great guy. I live in the east bay but will be making the extra long drive for my car services moving forward. A bad morning turned into a great day! Thanks Raymond!Service: General repairs & maintenance”

“Knowledgeable, experienced, professional staff that are honest and caring about your automotive needs. The quality of their work exceeds expectations as well as what it costs. In addition they have a network of other automotive service resources that can be trusted to provide quality services when needed.”

“Brought in my 2010 Highlander to get a tire rotation and balance. The staff was polite and efficient in getting my service done. They do a full inspection and report on problems with the vehicle that might need attention (with accompanying photos), and the prices seem reasonable.Overall I was satisfied with the service and would bring my vehicle back”

“This is my second visit to Han Kook Tires today. I usually don't spend time writing a second review to a business establishment but I'm compelled to do so for Han Kook Tires. Why? Because of their excellent customer service that they have provided to me for two consecutive visits.I found a nail in my rear tire today, and Owen (I think that is the name of the gentleman who helped me) quickly attended to me though he's busy enough. He explained that the nail punctured closed to the wall of the tire and may not be repairable. Having said that, he still gave it a try to repair and it was successful. All this is done within 20 minutes if not sooner. Not only he repaired my tire, he inspected the other 3 and gave me some suggestions to replace the front two worn tires as well, without making any sales pitch to purchase the tires from them. I am beyond happy and I can honestly say that, as long as I live in this area (which I have moved to 10 years ago), I will not go anywhere else for tire service except Han Kook Tires.Owen, you have done a fantastic job to impress a customer like me today. I'm not sure if you are the owner of this tire shop but if you are, your excellent service makes you stand out from the crowd. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!!!!! 매우 감사합니다!”

“I found Smog It when I needed service for my Mercedes but when I bought a new car, I was delighted to find out they work on all types of cars.Always honest. They've looked at my car and even told me nothing needed to be fixed right away - and the visit was free.Always available. Never had to wait to schedule service.Always fast. I work in Palo Alto but live in SF. They always get my car fixed same day.When I find a good mechanic, I stick with them for life. Can't say enough good things about Smog It!”

“I have had horrible luck with mechanics. As a woman who isn't car-savvy, I can't help but feel like other mechanics take advantage of this and charge me for unnecessary repairs. I took my car in to Made in Japan late last year for a 2nd opinion on some extremely expensive repairs done by another mechanic (De Anza Auto Repair) that I had been told by other mechanics was not necessary. Luckily I spoke with Nicky (sic?), a fellow woman, who made me feel a lot better about the chunk of change I forked out. The techs did a general inspection of my car and it got a clean bill of health. The bill wasn't bad either for the inspection compared to De Anza Auto.Then the horrible winter storms happened in January and suddenly I found myself driving my car to Made in Japan with a leaking roof. They were fast, efficient, organized, communicative, and kind while working with me and my insurance to repair the water damage in my car's interior. They were reasonable with regard to cost - about half the cost of what I was paying at De Anza Auto. And then this morning (10/24) my car would not start. Nicky and a tech (I'm so sorry, I forgot his name) came to my apartment (!!!) to jump my car and they themselves drove my car to the shop so that I didn't have to deal with a tow truck. Throughout this ordeal they were communicative and explained what was going on to me in terms that I could understand. They quickly got my car back to me before the end of the work day. And THEN about 30 mins after picking up my car, it would not fully start in my grocery store parking lot. Nicky and another tech drove all the way from Made in Japan to my grocery store, after their work hours, to see what was going in with my car. They were able to figure it out and I was able to drive home without the same issue happening. They were so kind to me and didn't make me feel bad at all for coming all the way out to my neck of the woods.The professionalism, friendliness, efficiency, and kindness they have shown towards me has changed the way I view going to the mechanic. They aren't trying to rip me off, and I can tell through their actions. The fact they drove to my location TWICE in one day (my neighborhood is pretty far from the shop, too) is noteworthy and commendable. They actually care about their customers, unlike other auto shops. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Made in Japan. Thank you, Nicky, Sean (sic?), and the technician team for treating me and your customers with respect always.”

“Dylan's engineering is THE place to go for your classic, vintage, high-end or sports car needs. They are a young team but very well-versed in their incredible knowledge and experience. This husband + wife team are very accommodating and work with you to keep you involved as much or as little as you want during their assessment process and repair. Cars are their passion and customer care is always a priority. They actually came to our home and worked with my husband on his Nova in our garage since it was up on blocks and not drivable yet. If need be, they can pick up your vehicle and tow it to their shop too. Quick turnaround times, depending on the project. But you can tell their business is what they eat, sleep and breathe! You won't be disappointed.”

“Carl is the best! He has taken care of my 2007 GMC Envoy Denali since 2007! He keeps my car running at 288K miles! I live in Sparks, Nevada and will drive to Carl as he can be trusted implicitly! Thank you Carl!”

“Thanks Tom for installing the new transmission on my 2019 Silverado! Very honest and helpful. I hope I don't run into more car trouble, but if I do, I'll know where to go.Service: Transmission”

“Had a family mechanic many years back that all 4 of my family visited whenever we needed anything done. These guys are the replacement I've been looking for, great people, honest work, reasonable price.”

“My wife needed someone to diagnose and fix a misfiring cylinder on her car. HAJ was very conveniently open on Sunday so we thought that we would try them. While the shop's surroundings are very modest and don't necessarily inspire confidence, the work they did was great and we will be repeat customers. They were very methodical and thorough like old-school mechanics. They isolated the problem by swapping parts between cylinders until the problematic component could be identified. They ultimately discovered a dirty fuel injector, so they cleaned all 4. Their prices are reasonable and they did not rush. We also never had pressure to buy unnecessary parts and services. We're happy to have found a good mechanic in our neighborhood.”

“I needed two - count 'em - TWO tires, for my little roadster, which wears out the front tires several times over, before the rear tires ever need to be replaced. After exhausting myself trying to buy JUST TWO tires online, in stock, ANYWHERE, I decided to go to my friendly local corner gas station. They had to order the tires, but they got them, and put them on, in just a few hours. No line, no wait. I was mighty happy.Service: Tires”
