1425 Autocenter Dr, Walnut Creek“My first time dealing with Central was pretty much perfect. Needed to get my brakes fixed as I knowingly waited a bit too long (I like to get every last little bit out of brakes and tires, which isn't super smart), but I was alerted by the newly squeaking brakes just last night that I couldn't wait anymore. I figure I lucked out today and was able to bring it in immediately and get the work done in one day. They pointed out some things I needed to know without any kind of up-selling. It seems a bit remarkable that without prior notice, they can inspect, fill out a report with pictures, get the parts, do the work to completion, and seemingly not cut any corners (that probably wouldn't work out well for reputable mechanics), and get me out the door so I wouldn't miss the next day of work. They stayed a bit later than closing to get it done, no complaints on their part, nor mine. I'll be back for some of that other needed work very soon.”
“The service is dependable, thorough, and honest. I always know I can trust that the work will be done right and for a fair price. They consult with me before doing anything that would cost extra and give me a straightforward assessment about what needs to be done now versus what can be postponed. The staff is all friendly and professional. I wouldn't dream of using anyone else to service my used cars.”
“Safi knows what he's doing. Always polite and professional. I don't take my old Camry anywhere else. He's also reasonable and honest. Definitely recommend!”

1485 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley“Phil and the rest of his team at Argonaut Garage were fantastic!! I didn’t expect this process to be such a breeze. They got me in and out within a few days and I didn’t expect the prices to be so reasonable. Thanks so much for your help Phil!”
“While traveling in the area my car had an issue on the freeway and I could not drive it, I was towed by AAA to this shop. Very fortunate to get to this shop - the staff were able to come out and check my car and even get it working so I could get home to my local area. They did not even charge me for what they did.
It is a stressful time having a breakdown especially with my family, but this shop really went above and beyond. I will be always grateful. This would be my go to shop if I lived in the area for my BMWs, I could instantly tell they knew what they were doing and were enthusiastic about older BMWs. I think the owner’s name is Fred and I really wanted to thank him! Kindhearted folks like this are hard to find nowadays.”

4101 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Oakland“I was in immediate need of service to my car, and couldn't drive it back to San Francisco where I live as the car was overheating. I work up the street from the business and found them when I searched for nearby auto repair shops. Their reviews were great, so I called them and was told that I could drop my car off after getting out of work. They kept my car safe for the night and had it ready for me the next day. They easily diagnosed my problem and fixed it without delay. Needless to say, I was very grateful and relieved. Customer service here was friendly and I felt that my car was in good hands. I highly recommend them.”
“Honest and easygoing mechanics who also have a funny sense of humor! They take the time to explain and educate when their customers have questions and their website is also educational with tips on taking care of your car, which says a lot about them. Their invoices are clear, with breakdown line items of each part that was ordered and service provided so you have upfront clear communication about what they did and also future records. My partner and I haven taken our cars to them a few times already and are so glad we found our go-to local mechanics!”

1639 Park St, Alameda“Awesome folks, quality work, timely delivery, and great service! I am so happy to have found such a great place and will proudlysupport this small business. Brett and his team came highly recommended to me by my neighbor, whose entire family had their cars serviced by Car Care Service. Now I can honestly say I also recommend them too! I made an appointment for a Friday brake inspection as I was looking for new brakes for my older car. They inspected it and told me exactly what needed to be replaced and the cost upfront. They were able to do the work that day. Their prices were very reasonable, and they went above and beyond to deliver within their estimated time frame. They did everything right to finish my car so I could have it for the weekend. I am so happy to support such a reliable and professional independent repair shop! Now I know where to go for all of my car needs! Thanks again!”
“I took a preowned Toyota to Roesbery for a pre-purchase inspection. They so kindly fit my appointment in last minute so I could make a decision day-of for the vehicle purchase. I left with a detailed report & additional advice/knowledge. I am so thankful for their thorough and efficient care!”
“Mark has always been reliable with my car. I’ve been getting my little Honda civic done here for around almost two years and him and his crew have always taken great care of me. They’ve been honest from the jump which isn’t easy to come by. Can’t be more grateful for a reliable shop in Oakland! Will always be a loyal customer. Thanks always guys xx”
8AM - 5:30PM
2500 San Pablo Ave, Pinole“Friendly, efficient and trustworthy, called upon they open without appointment, took me in and took care of diagnosis, part replacement and an oil change added on later. Let me know about warranty on part, clear explanation on all charges. Took care of what car needs nothing extra. Will come back!”
“I have been here for a couple of oil changes now and the experience has been good, far better than other express options. Previously Oil Changers stripped my oil drain plug. They seemed to take much more care here. I will continue to come back.”
“One of the best experiences I had purchasing a vehicle. Some private dealers can be sketchy, but these guys are rockstars. They sold their vehicle to me for a very competitive and reasonable price, and didn’t throw any type of hidden fees or try to pressure me in any way. No frills, great communication, and very very honest people. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“We originally took our Subaru in for work that we were told would cost thousands of dollars by a different repair shop in 2021. Teri was able to figure out that the problem was misdiagnosed and the repairs unnecessary. We've been taking our cars to DeCarlo's ever since for repair and general upkeep. We always get prompt, quality service at a reasonable price. Highly recommend Teri and his crew.”
“The team at oil changers went above and beyond the call of duty. They were kind enough to point out a variety of different things that I was completely not aware of as a result of their kind tips and assistance, the insured that I will have a safe Upcoming road trip.”
“the BEST. The staff is extraordinary, I seriously mean it. So genuine, informative and helpful! The service is thorough and cost efficient. Highly recommend for Teslas!”
“Great guy, fair and reasonable, and he’s a quality mechanic. I was a journeyman mechanic for almost 20 years and I’m comfortable with George working on my vehicles because he knows what he’s doing.”
“I don’t know the gentleman’s name but he is really very helpful. I find he is honest. When he could have charged me for unnecessary services he hasn’t. He takes my car in as a walk in and is always pleasant to work with. Lastly, his prices are very reasonable. I’ve been here a few times now and will say this the car is never returned with a new sound, sent, scratch etc as it usually is when you go to non dealer repair shops. Thank you Desi Auto Repair.”

1719 Park St, Alameda“Took my VW Tiguan in for a service and was thoroughly impressed with how friendly and prompt the service was. Dropped my car off in the morning and had it back by the afternoon! They even washed my car before I picked it up. Reasonable prices too. Don’t hesitate to take your car here :)”

1855 Contra Costa Blvd Ste C, Pleasant Hill“I brought my car in this morning with some noise that seemed to be brake related. He had it diagnosed quick and fixed within a couple hours. The service was reasonably priced and he was nice and friendly. This is my 3rd service with Mike and I'll definitely come to him with any car trouble in the future.Service: Brakes”
“Phil was very helpful in scheduling my appointment and even starting to diagnose my issue over the phone. My car wouldn’t drive, wouldn’t go into gear, but he talked me through some troubleshooting and got me going again. That saved me a tow truck fee, thanks, Phil!”
8AM - 7PM
2425 Lincoln Ave, Alameda“I've been coming here for years. The workers are always courteous and do a thorough job. Sometimes the wait time can be lengthy but it's not because the workers are slow. Rather, it's because everyone decided to get an oil change at the same time. Lol. Just the other day I pulled right up and was in and out quickly. I'll keep coming back.”
“I've used the Repair Shop with Sal and his crew a bunch of times over the last couple years. They have always done great work at a reasonable price which is becoming harder to find these days. They are also a customer first shop and are great about explaining the work they think you need and cost before they start. If you have any questions or issues with the work done they do everything possible to answer those question or will ask you to bring the car back to look at any issues you might have. They are my go to shop because of all of these reasons. Don't hesitate to give them a try.”
8AM - 6PM
7805 International Blvd, Oakland“I come here because the location is convenient and the prices are reasonable. For my 210 Kia forte, a regular synthetic oil change cost $55. If I wanted full synthetic it would have cost me $80. They are fast with my oil change and they show me the clean oil on the dipstick at the end. They check the other fluid levels and refill my windshield washing fluid as well as vacuuming my air filter. I have been coming here for years and enjoy the service and experience. They also take card”
“Face it, having a car these days isn't cheap. I'd rather bring my 17-year-old Honda Civic Hybrid to a clean, professional shop like Plaza where folks are trustworthy, knowledgable, and above board about everything--and take the time to explain matters if you ask. Simply the finest auto repair shop ever.”
“I’ve been bringing all my cars here since I was 18 so over 10 years. Super friendly staff and definitely affordable. If there’s no one waiting you’ll be in and out in less than 15.”
“I trust none other than Scott and Mike for our 2004 E320 and 2006 S350 since 2017. These cars require care and attention, and it pays off. Thank you Scott and Mike.”
8:30AM - 5PM
5301 Pacheco Blvd B, Pacheco“A very honest family owned business. They charge a fair price and provides excellent service. Most importantly, they don’t selling me things I don’t need. I asked about changing air filter, the owner said they checked the condition and confirmed I don’t need to replace it yet. Unlike other auto places that ask me to replace parts just to change for a higher price. I will definitely go back to this hidden gem for any auto repair/ maintenance moving forward.”
“Got dropped off here by a tow truck after my tire blew out on a pothole. While my tire size was a bit over my budget, they put my spare on for me for free and refused to take any type of gratuity. Thank you!”
“I love Orindans Motors they provide great customer service. They keep me informed about repairs that might be needed on my next checkup. I also can just drop by to have them check my tire pressure or any other concerns i might have about my car.”
