I was told that this guy Willie was the best at working on old school cars so I took my 1973 Pontiac trans am to him. Yesterday, I stepped on the gas and this car was a completely different animal!! Runs great and peels the pavement off the road!! I'm going to drive it to Sacramento with confidence. Thanks Willie!!

Willy said you need a transmission so I pay him to get a rebuilt transmission, now he said I need a new transmission a better one. Willy keeps acting like the car is fixed and I keep breaking down. 16,000 later I feel beat. Before I wented to him my car ran, after going to him spending now 16 ,000. My car runs for 2 or 3 hours and it keeps breaking down. I'm not happy with will. I a female and I feel beaten out of my money. I gave him one star because he is likeable like Trump. A great con artist that beats women and not men.Service: Transmission

I pulled my car from supposedly "All Pro" shop, this after shelling $180 to run diagnostics. Best auto repair decision i made. Took my 255k mileage, 2015 Nissan Rogue to Willy's. After a brief interview about "what is going on with the car", He told me to come back in 2 hours. He ran diagnostic test, drove the car and came down with a very economical solution. Long story short, paid a fraction from what the other guy wanted.Willy does not sugarcoat. He is candid and tells it like and how it is. He is very reasonable. It is very difficult to find a good and trustworthy mechanic. With Will - I highly recommend!!

As a woman I never feel I can trust what I ambeing told is wrong with my car. At Willy's auto repair not only was I told all that was wrong with my van but it was explained in detail. They made sure my car was safe for me to drive anywhere I needed to go. I was fortunate that they were able to take me in as a walk in. I definitely will be going back to take care of any of my car needs. Thank you so much for showing concern for my safety.

I always trust Willy's Auto Repair Shop with my car, whether it be for maintenance, mechanical issues, or body work. I took my car in a couple weeks ago to repair the damage on the front and driver side from a good ol' SF side swipe. The car looks good as new! Thanks as always Willy's Auto Repair Shopand Willy's Auto Repair Shop!!

Professional diagnosed my car quickly, gave me price, and estimated time for repair was done one day earlier and did not overcharge me. Very satisfied with service

Well as a honest mechanic myself with degrees to back it up ! He's not !! Well Willy will say just about anything with a smile but lie to your face was exactly like others had said was his MO ! Mine was first of all refusal to give a written AND signed work orders to prevent out right theft ! Which it was ! Statements like that's the way they ran in those days ? No it's not ! big lie number one ! After he charged the most possible but did not fix the poor running vehicle ! He mouthed off a whole bunch of CRAP like he disrespected my knowledge or maybe he still believes he is way smarter than his customers? not true ! Talk about padding the bill ? Oh yes ! Most people are not mechanics and write raved reviews because they are going by the smile not knowledge! Sorry folks ! How many actually inspected the work or I should say the bill ?? Anyone not giving you a written work order of cost is about to or already has got into your bank as easy as that ! There are prices to go by set by industry standards but slick Willy doesn't like them and a very easy way around it is to bull s*** you into why he's not giving you a written cost estimate ie (work order ) stay away from (slick Willy ) there are way more honest people out there ! Read reviews ! Believe reviews ! Or be just another scammed Person ! I've seem allot of scammers and he is just one more to avoid at any cost ! RUN ! I only learned of his ridiculous cost or fees after he repeatedly stalled to ever give an advanced cost estimate so as a customer I would know in advance if he's a scammer ? When he stalled and stalled until the job was done where at that point he could charge any price he could make up ! and half the job was not even done ! As the parts were still in the box I brought unopened ?? So how is it they didn't fit ? If it was never tried ? Lier lier pants on fire ! Busted ! This is more about his shady billing not his mechanics but who needs that ? Not me good luck out there ! Get second opinions please ! I'm not going back twice he did the same thing so that's who he is ! another reviewer hit it right on the head ! He's only a slick talker to the non mechanic !! But he's no match for one way better than him if for no other reason than honesty ! But our skill levels are on different planets ! Scamming others is not A skill level ! As a military aircraft inspector he's what the military calls or labels a (pencil whipper and the military combats them by having inspectors follow them up with life saving inspections ! You just can't pull over at 30,000 feet ! I was one of many ! and saw this attitude first hand ! There and now here ! I had to go to yet another shop to correct his poor level of work !

I drive a 1965 VW Bug, and Willy's has come to my rescue more times than I'd care to rattle off. Every time I've been in a pinch, they've come through for me. They're even able to get parts for my car in quick fashion so it's not out of commission any longer than necessary. I always appreciate their fast and honest service.

Great local, family owned auto repair. Guillermo and his daughter both super kind people, they rotated my tires and were troubleshooting a small display electrical issue I had, very affordable, quick, and they squeezed me in at the last minute. Come here and support local businesses!
