I have used this place for years now to service my Toyota including major and minor services as well as tire and brake pair replacements. They are fantastic - super reasonable price (especially as compared to dealer), very quick and I'm always happy with the results.

I have been here many times for tyre service -- new tyres, fixing slow-leaks, punctures and the like. They have always been prompt, reasonably-priced, efficient and a pleasure to interact with. You'll never have a problem parking or trying to drive into a congested work shop. Sometimes they have fixed things while I waited. There's coffee, grocery shopping and a nursery right near by.

You’ll see when you get here that you’ll have to wait in line, and it’s usually out the door. However it’s worth the wait. Ice cream is amazing and some neat decor to look at inside!! Fun place

Doug & his team provide quality service and at very reasonable costs. I had my 2007 Corolla get a full tune up and later had the break pads replaced. They never do more than necessary. It’s great to find a place you can trust- I’ll definitely be using their services again!

I had Douglas replace the clutch and front brakes on my car. While the transmission was out, had him send it to be rebuilt had a transmission shop (Craig at Calif. Standard Transmissions in Hayward; also highly recommended). The prices were reasonable, I just did a five hundred mile road trip on it including some rather rocky high-clearance roads in the Sierras; everything seems great.In addition to the prices, the great thing about this shop is that you're always talking to an owner-mechanic, Douglas. There's one other mechanic who is probably actually turning the wrenches, but Douglas is there talking to him and looking over his shoulder. When I first brought the car in, before I'd even left, they'd both hopped in to take it for a test drive first. Whenever I would call for a status report or ask for explanations, Douglas is the person picking up the phone, and he knows what's going on. He did forget one thing that was on the list of things I gave to him to repair ( something was dragging on the brake rotor and making noise), but when my wife brought it back he immediately put it on the rack and fixed it within half an hour, for free, which is about as much as you can reasonable expect. He also fixed the clutch linkage spring (the thing that makes the stick go to center when in neutral), which has been broken forever; no extra charge other than the part, very thoughtful.The other good thing about this shop that seems oddly difficult to find is that Douglas is perfectly happy working on an older car. My car is a 1996 Subaru outback, and I like it. The engine is one of the most reliable in Subaru's history (EJ22), the body and paint are in good shape, and is what I need it to be, and it's not full of screens and computers like a modern car. Nevertheless, I had one shop (Art's Auto in Berkeley) tell me straight up that they would not work on it, sight unseen, just because it's old; I've had another shop (AMA) where the mechanic said I probably wanted to skip some work "because you're probably going to junk this car soon anyway" (like can you just work on my car without insulting it?). None of that with Douglas; he just worked on the car like it was as important as any other car.

Had a screw in my tire and they were able to fix it in less than ten minutes. They were very personable and professional. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience with this family owned business. I needed my tire fixed. I was in and out within 30 mins and the price was really reasonable! Thanks again!
