“Great service. My family has been with Letcher Bros for over 10 years. I appreciate the courtesy, honesty, and service. Would I recommend them, Yes without a doubt everyday of the week and twice on Sundays”
“Dana Meyer has excellent service and communication. Their follow-up is clear and collaborative. So far, the car has run beautifully from our two major services. A family-owned company and one that seems to have happy employees is wonderful.”
“We had a great experience here. Over the past few years I've worked with a few different mechanics in the bay and Henry's is definitely a place I will return. They did great work, it was on time, and they were communicative, but not too communicative (not a bunch of post visit email solicitations, etc.). Their prices were also very competitive and reasonable. When you visit you don't pay extra for what I can only describe as "consumer experience", which truly appreciate. Overall great visit.”
“Highly recommend taking your car needs here if you appreciate honest work. Not only was Gil friendly he was prepared to answer any question I had. He was able to troubleshoot and repair my leaking transmission in less time than I expected which ultimately left me impressed by the straight to the point service as well as the fair prices. No time wasted, highly recommended”

“Was disappointed in a dealership in Concord, I've used for a time for services. Lately, the last few times I was at that dealership; the service representatives there tried to sell me services and products I did not need and the prices for these alleged services and products, were shocking, to say the least! A good friend referred me to Norcal Tire and Auto Services and Collision in Vallejo ... I decided to go there and I was treated with the upmost respect and consideration. I even got a good deal on a set of tires, I needed so badly! What's more they topped off all the fluids my car needed as they gave my car a checkup on everything the dealership, I had gone to before, tried to sell me on. Found out, I didn't need those services. My SUV is only 5 years old! Anyway, from now on, I'll be going to Norcal Tire, Auto Servises and Collision! Many, many heart felt thanks to Robbie (the owner) and his hard working team! God Bless ... Peggy”

1441 Broadway Ave, San Pablo“Ruben has come through for me every time I needed work on my car - even in an emergency. The first time I went to him I needed to get my belts and belt tensioner replaced. He gave me the option of buying my own parts or having him handle it. Note: parts have a warranty when he buys them. He was up front and honest about the work needed and quoted me less than other shops. He finished the job quickly and professionally.
A few days later one of my ignition coils went bad while driving. My motor started shaking, engine warning lights came on, and I couldn't drive over 30mph. I immediately turned around and went to BA Auto Repair. Within minutes, Ruben diagnosed the problem, showed me how to test the other 3 ignition coils and gave me advice/option of replacing the one bad coil or replacing all four. I decided to replace the one coil because it would take a day to get all four delivered. He put in a rush order for the coil and got me sorted within an hour!! He even offered to replace the other three coils at no extra charge if I decided to order them.
Thanks for taking care of me and getting me running, Ruben! Lo agradezco muchisimo!”

“Extremely satisfied with the service and pricing of the oil change and spark plug replacement that they did for me. It was hundreds of dollars less than what I would have paid elsewhere and you can tell they are very honest about what they do. Claudio and his wife were so friendly, and it was such a quick and easy process. I'll definitely be back next time I need something done with my car.”

625 Tuolumne St suite c, Vallejo“I took my car in for a check engine light and rough idle. John checked the code while I was there, and said he'd call. I Googled the code and saw it could be a dozen different problems. John scoped the engine, checked compression and started with the obvious fixes. He called to brief me and authorize his plan. He fixed the problem, didn't sell me anything he (or I) didn't need, and scoped the engine again to verify his fix. His price was fair, he worked promptly and communicated well. I was both pleased and satisfied with his work.”

First time, with issues with my E-break (cleared the code and repair)and second time with a damaged break caliper. He was able to machine the caliper and get my car running again in around an hour and a half both times. I highly recommend his services. He's also very polite and explained everything to me in detail what he was doing. Great pricing as well.Services: Electrical”
