“I am not in the habit of leaving reviews but have to shout out Mario and his team for being amazing mechanics - Mario is friendly, communicative, transparent about prices, waits for consent before moving forward with any repairs, explains clearly what the issue is in a way that is easy to understand but without being mansplainy or condescending, and also won’t pressure you to do any work that isn’t essential. Both times I have been he has kept the car part that was the issue to show me exactly what happened. After my previous long term mechanic shut down in 2020, I had a few bad experiences going to other places that took advantage of my trust/naivety and lack of knowledge about cars. A few friends recommended MJs (which funnily enough is in the same location as my old trusted mechanic!) and both the times I have been were great experiences. And just found out they do smog checks too! So glad to have found a new reliable trusted mechanic. Thanks to the whole crew at MJs!”

3423 Harlan St, Oakland“I was initially introduced to Bill through Fantasy Junction for a PPI on a classic Porsche I was looking to buy. He was in my corner on day one and was willing to inspect the car thoroughly, while navigating me through all the highs and lows of negotiating with a broker. Ultimately, I walked away from purchasing the car, but Bill was there to give me advice on these air-cooled Porsches whenever I had questions. This IS the guy you want to bring your Porsche to up in Northern California, and I'll drive 7+ hours to have him rebuild my 911 engine when it needs a "rebirth". Great to find someone who is TOP in their field!”
“Never been here before, as I was leaving work, got a low tire pressure warning light. I got out to look and the tire did look really low, a co worker told me of this place close by so I decided to have it checked out. I pulled in, they took the car into garage quickly to check the tire, found a puncture, fixed it and all done in less than an hour. Really friendly, quick, and very reasonably priced. Definitely would recommend!!!”
“I love this shop! Ty is nothing short of amazing so glad I came across him! Patient, quick, and gets the job done! And understand every “thingy” I’m talking about ?”

3806 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Oakland“Mr. Shin is the most honest, hard working car mechanic I've ever hired. He will text you details on what exactly he worked on with your car and send you videos so you never feel misinformed/mislead into paying too much like with most car mechanics ive hired in the past.
When one of his repairs didn't fully fix my oil pressure he took it in again and worked on it for days until it got fixed and he didn't charge me anything. Highly recommended if you own a German vehicle and want an extremely thorough and honest mechanic.”
“Super impressed. Love how detailed Marcos and his family business is. They were extremely generous being patient with me as I am not very well versed in auto mechanics. Truly an indescribable quality that anyone looks for in a trustworthy mechanic. It's always a pleasure knowing Marcos has my safety as a priority. Thank you. Let them know Ryan sent you”

426 40th St, Oakland“The team takes great care of my car! They often point issues that went unnoticed by the previous mechanic. Parking is tight but they will take care of anything you need. I especially feel the savings in my pocket because they find the long term solutions!”
“No nonsense very professional great price and extremely informative! As a woman I've experienced mechanics who try to swindle me or don't take the time to explain what exactly is going on with my car. He educates you about how each piece works and why it broke in the first place and what preventive measures that need to be implemented.”

Joe and his team does a great job and definitely does not try to sell you anything your car doesn't need or overcharge. Great place if you want quality work, friendly team and fair prices. I highly recommend it!”
“Very honest and upfront about everything. Gil very knowledgeable about his work and cars. I would have him as my everyday mechanic anytime.

“I had my 2017 Subaru Forester check by the dealer and I was told I need a transmission. I was given and outrageous quote for a full rebuild and got a second opinion from ER transmission. They checked my vehicle and told me that I only need it a valve body. They fix it for under $3k. My vehicle is running like new. Am glad I decided to get a second opinion. Thank you ER”

958 E 12th St, Oakland“Rudy is AMAZING! We have never met a more competent, kinder and more thorough mechanic. We are seniors from Chicago visiting Oakland for a month to help out with the arrival of a new grand baby. We drove cross-country in our GMC Canyon Truck towing a small RV trailer to stay in. He went above and beyond to try to diagnose our truck’s electrical problem and was incredibly helpful.Services: Electrical”
“Thank you for your service Charles. I appreciate you taking time out and reviewing issue with my car. I appreciate your honesty and quick diagnostic. It was nice to know your recommendation was not a new transmission but bearing. Greatly appreciate it.”
“Paul at Broadway automotive and transmission has been helping me to safely. Keep my older model car on the road until I’m ready to buy a new one. He worked out a personal maintenance plan that made sure the car was roadworthy but not cost me a lot of money. Great guy, great to work with and reasonable prices— great service!”
