the check engine light on my truck came on while I was driving it, so I took it to this shop to have them check where the problem was. it was the catalytic converter fault . they ordered the converters and waited for at least couple of weeks for the replacement to come in since it's coming from the maker of the vehicle. It was installed and very satisfied for their professional job. I'll be going back to this shop if I get problem with my vehicle. The people there were friendly and highly recommend this shop . I support local small business.

Recently got my all 4 of my brake pads replaced and installed here and it was very reasonably priced. Half the cost Big-on and the dealership wanted to charge. Charming owner who's family has run the business for 76 years. Highly recommend to anyone needing brake work done in the Vallejo area.

Called and set up an appointment, excellent service and knowledgeable staff. Work was done with pride of craftmanship. Advised on later tasks to do to ensure longevity of repair. an easy 5 stars to give.

I brought my truck in for what I thought would be an expensive fix. Turns out it didn't need all that. They repaired my problem for a fraction of what I thought. This guy is honest and I'll be going back with any of our vehicular problems.

I wish I could give zero stars. We have been going back-and-forth with the owner of the shop for the past two weeks to work on a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta. It had a list of issues such as the heater doesn't work, light was out, needed new windshield wipers, and a couple fuses were out. The owner, which I believe is Lew, was NOT reliable and did NOT communicate anything towards us letting us know what he could and could not fix. We simply picked it up this morning and nothing was done besides a light being changed and new windshield wipers. I probably could've gone to Pep Boys for that. Not even to mention that he charged us almost $1000 to simply take out a radiator. He only refunded us $90. A complete scam, unorganized, do NOT go here you will lose your money. The cherry on top is that when we got there to pick it up this morning he LOST my car fob. He dug around for a few minutes until he could find it but he had also claimed that I never left him a car fob. That isn't true, I left him my key AND my car fob. The whole process was unprofessional but losing your clients key is probably one of the worst things I've seen in a mechanic I would NEVER recommend this spot, I can't even believe it has good reviews. He fixed absolutely nothing and I wish I could be a Karen and go off on him to his face, but I'm trying to be a little nicer than that. PLEASE trust me and listen to me, DO NOT go to this shop

I brought my truck with some noise on the arm control's and the owner tell two or three day later that the problem it was the lower arms and they will fix it for 650$ and I says ok go ahead and do it, 4 days later he say the truck was ready, he didn't do the lower arm's, he did the one upper arm, not fix the problem the noise still on my truck, he charge me for tie some bolts and put something that the truck doesn't need, Why to say you gonna fix the truck but you don't know how, really bad service never go back to this place

IN June I took my car for some work and upon returning to pick up my car I notice my car bumper was pushed into the retaining wall. This caused paint to chip off on my front pumper. I pointed it out to Lew: After that it bother me that I took my car in good condition and Lew s shop chipped the paint so I called him I need to get it fixed: He offered only touch up paint and would call me: it's been over four weeks not heard from Lew: First I would not use touch up paint and second return my car as I left it to you: IM

A tire store had changed my tire and cross threaded the lug nut. I called 4-5 business in Vallejo and the prices ranged from $165 to $300+-$400+. My landlord referred me to Lew's. They have been in the business at the same location for over 70 years. Lew grew up learning from his father. He gave me a quote which was less than $100 and did the repair in about 2 hours. He even fixed the tire that had a nail in it, which saved me a visit to Costco. He is 'honest' and will stand by the quote he gives you.

This mechanic was highly recommend by those in the area so I was surprised when I had a below average experience bringing both my cars here. It's overpriced and the owner doesn't work on the cars himself anymore. Disorganized, and doesn't care about you or the car. Rattles off the same story after every checkup.I asked for a full check and when I picked up my cars all he could tell me was that they replaced the air filters and the brakes were good. I went back for a transmission fluid replacement and when I drove away my engine sounded like a rock tumbler! I brought it back and they were poking around in my engine with a crowbar! Discovered that they had not fastened my battery and told me it was fine, but it was not the case. They continued to stab the crowbar in my car and yank on the radiator, roughhousing the poor thing until they realized they had broken one of my engine mounts!! They blamed it on wear and tear (which was partly true) but gave me no apology or small discount for failing to find what was wrong and breaking it! I took it home 2 days later and later it wouldn't start.... called them back and again they blamed it on wear and tear. I called AAA because Lew's also doesn't have a towing service or voucher for their cutomers especially the tows they caused. AAA said that it was the fuel pump that most likely was bumped durring the repairs. AAA also told me that many other people have issues with this mechanic. Sounds like he used to be good but is now stepping away from doing the work himself and letting people who don't know what they're doing do the repairs. I am bummed ?
