Auto Repair in Newark, CA

“My husband and I were shopping around for quotes on a brake change for our Toyota Highlander, and we feel so lucky to have found Giant Bull Auto Shop! They offered the most reasonable price, got us in the same day, and had everything done within 3 hours! When I picked up my car, I was pleasantly surprised—they went above and beyond by washing it, leaving it sparkling clean, even though that wasn’t part of the service! The owner was incredibly kind and even offered me free refreshments, which was such a thoughtful touch. After this wonderful experience, we've decided to make Giant Bull our go-to auto shop. We won’t be looking anywhere else! Highly recommend!”

“I went to Elie's shop for getting brakes and rotors replaced. My car was fixed in less than half an hour. The price was very reasonable too. Elie is very honest and great at diagnosing the problem and fixing it.”

“Omar, was wonderful, he did such a great job with updating me on every step of my vehicle repair. Him and his staff are absolutely amazing and friendly.

After the repairs, they also did a great job washing the exterior and interior of my vehicle, it honestly feels like I’m taking a new car off the lot.”

“Went there for a battery replacement (was recommended by Newark Costco)…he was very courteous and took only 15mins to compete the work, and his prices are very very fair. Will be taking my cars for service here”

“Had a nail in the tire and took my car to Newark Tire & Auto Service for repair. The person at the front desk (rude of me to not ask for his name) helped us check the tire. Turns out the nail was only attached to the tire superficially and not a real puncture. All in all it only took 5 minutes and I was good to go. Didn't charge us for inspection and he even explained why certain puncture is repairable while others are not. Very friendly and good customer service.”

“I recently purchased a used hybrid vehicle from a dealership lot. Unfortunately, the transmission only lasted 10,000 miles. I went to a few local shops only to find out that they do not work on hybrids. I did find one that did work on hybrids but they wanted the charge me $6,000 for a used transmission and installation. I called up precision Auto service and ask them for a quote. I liked the quote and I decided to get my car repaired at their location. They work very quick, thorough and now I have a working hybrid vehicle. Works much better than it did before. I would not hesitate to use them again and I will use them again for another vehicle that I have.Service: Engine repair”

“If you’re looking for a good honest mechanic Naval’s the guy. I used to call around to compare rates but now I don’t bother. Been doing business with him for a couple of years now, and he always saves me money. Also, if you live in town like I do, he usually offers to give me a ride home and picks me when the vehicles ready.”

“Maybe some nice and cool refreshments, revamped the waiting area, looks dead and boring. Not lively and not welcoming. The ambience doesn't match the energy of your employees”

“This shop is the only place to go for tires and service. Especially if you have any elderly friends or family members.

I stumbled onto this shop by mere circumstance at a time in need, and from moment number one I was treated with the utmost care. After my experience here I would not think of going anywhere else.

Furthermore I have elderly family and friends and without reservation I just tell them to go to the Newark Big O Tires on Newark Blvd to take care of whatever they need. When the service is over I follow up with any of my friends and the result is always the same. A positive experience at Big O. Nothing is being sold to them unnecessarily.

And if there is a circumstance when a person is in a bind, they will help you immediately. I have seen it happen many times on different occasions

Thank you guys.”

“My wife and I spent an afternoon with the salespeople at Winn Kia and had an excellent experience with the entire team. The team was pleasant to work with, and accommodating to our specific needs. We had a sense they were honest, fair, and concerned for our well being. I felt a bit guilty because my wife pushed a hard bargain. We had been to four other dealerships before coming to this one and felt completely satisfied buying a car here.

It was easy to schedule an appointment. When we arrived, Thomas took an inventory of our interests: compact hybrid suv, leaning new, but open to used, depending on the value; needed safety features, such as blind spot and cross traffic warnings; and would be nice to have parking sensors but expect the highest trim to be out of our range; preferably white. We wondered whether white was worth the $400 premium, and he let us see several new blue Sportage vehicles. He explained KIA used different shades of colors for each model of car they sold. He narrowed down our search to a new 2025 Sportage EX and a certified pre-owned 2022 Sportage EX with under 15,000 miles. He patiently walked us through the car menus and buttons and he showed us the features and differences of each car. He gave us ample time to ask questions, in particular showing us the nuances of the back seats, rear view camera, and power tailgate. We were a bit nervous to drive the new cars, so he let us be passengers on a test drive.

I asked whether all KIA used cars sold by dealerships were certified and he said it was something new this dealership started the past few months. I thought that it was a great service, because having the balance of a 10 year/100,000 mile drive train warranty certainly brought me peace of mind shopping for a used car. I asked why the miles were so low and he explained the car was coming off a lease, and the previous owner worked from home during the pandemic, and traded in for a new car.

After we were shown the customary wrap around service and maintenance contracts, my wife asked the salesman, "what would you recommend for your wife"? He said the two contracts worked well together, but he admitted he might pass on the costly service contract. He did explain what kind of discount packages he could work out for us and what might be harder. With the certified preowned drive train warranty covering the most expensive repairs, we initially opted out of the service contract.

Tony helped us to finalize the details of the sale. First, he arranged the paperwork so my wife could quickly sign and leave to pick up our son from school. He helped to clarify details such as exact purchase dates and warranty expiration dates. Seeing how soon our 5 year service warranty would expire, he helped us to arrange a wrap around service contract that made sense. He was patient as we called the bank to arrange payment and he eventually gave me a drive to the bank to make a cashier's check. He then introduced me to the service team and invited me to call with any questions I had. So overall great service and caring to ensure our needs were met.

Compare to Dealer B, who insists "the 2025 Sportage is the best selling car in our inventory, it is nearly impossible to find, and we are asking $6000 more than MSRP, and we will not bother to show you features or let you test drive, and we don't want to let you to leave until we have a deal." As if customers have no internet and are helpless in the "capitol of silicon valley"

Edit: driving around, I noticed the miles per gallon efficiency was lower than I expected for a hybrid. It dawned on me that we bought a 2022 Sportage, while the hybrid version was released in 2023. So we got a gas car, when we thought we bought a hybrid. Instead of getting a great deal, I would say we got a fair deal. I will attribute this mistake to my inexperience (should have asked for the original Monroney window sticker) and my shopping fatigue. I would ”

“I went there and had my front bumper scraped up. Carlos polished it and fixed my bumper for waaaayyy cheaper than I expected. HE DID IT FOR FREE. This shop is the most honest place you will ever do business in.”
