I bring my car here on a regular basis. He is very honest and fair. My car is there now having some MAJOR work done. Yes, the area is kinda funky, and the 'waiting' room is not like the waiting room at the dealership, but you are not paying the rip-off prices ($120/hr) of the dealership either. He replaced the clutch on my g/f's car for less than $600. No one else will do that. read more

When it rains it pours! In about a month in a half I had issues with not just one car but four cars. Richard was able to fix the first car with a reasonable price I have taken in this car ready to three different mechanics with in the years. The problem was never solved. He was able to be the one that fixes it with no problem and a reasonable price and quickly. So we took our other 3 cars to him to fix as they all decided to have issues. read more

Whatever I needed, they were there like no other. Super neighbor-friendly, super did a great job everytime we needed work done. Why them and not Abuelo's Mufflers, only cuz they were closest, and they are just two blocks from each other. Just so happened. This was with my '95 Dodge Caravan. read more

I had my brakes and calipers done here - Richard is very knowledgeable and helpful: helped me find the right parts for my repair. Would recommend without hesitation - welcome his straightforward way of talking and doing business. read more

So I found a Lexus RX350 for sale on Craigslist. It looked like a decent car and I asked to see it in person. He agreed to meet me the next morning at 11am in downtown San Jose. I text him and called him shortly after at 10am asking for the address a second time. He said he would text me the address. I waited another half hour, then called again at 10:30 for the address. At 11:05am, 5 minutes after we were supposed to meet, he sends me the address. I look up the address and it is a McDonalds. No problem, I can meet there. I said I would be there at 11:30. He shows up late at 11:50 and asks me to walk into the parking lot behind McDonald's. He seemed annoyed even before we speak and before I see the car. I walk up to the car and it looks different from the photos. The car had a trailer hitch and cargo roof rack. I thought cool, I like extra options. Every question I asked was answered seemed disturbing. ME: When was it last smogged? HIM: Yesterday. ME: When were the brakes last changed? HIM: Two weeks ago. ME: Do you have the receipts for the smog and brakes? HIM: No. So the car had large dents but the ad said no accidents. He was very uptight and very short with his answers and when I asked if he was the owner, he gave another vague answer. He wouldn't let me test drive the car because I did not say I was willing to pay his price. I obviously came knowing his price. I think this guy has a chip on his shoulder and very unprofessional. I said thanks for wasting my time @$$hole. As he pulled out of the parking lot, he turned right. I was on foot because I planned to buy the car. He drove around the block and pulled into gated area of a business, this business which was right across the street from McDonald's. Turns out he is the owner of this business. His name is Richard and the name suits his attitude. DICK FOR SURE! Oh, in addition, he painted the seats with a spray can and their was overspray on all surrounding area. read more

I was visiting my mom in San Jose and hit way past the 3,000 oil change mark. The next morning I had to leave really early but wanted to make sure my car was healthy enough for the long drive back to Socal. Saw this place across the street from my home so I came in at 4:50pm and their shop closes at 5:00pm as they were finishing up another customer's car. The owner generously took my car in. Totally appreciated him working overtime and understanding how much I needed an oil change! Not a luxury spot, but this place gets the job done. A bit inconvenient backing in and out of the place, and the awkward wait before being greeted. I've been here once before, owner's not the friendliest guy but he's definitely honest. Last place I went to they were saying my brakes were worn and I needed to work on this and that, I asked him for a 2nd opinion and he called BS on the last place. Not many honest auto shops out there! I trust this guy with my car, definitely would be back here. read more

My car needed a brake and light inspection and this shop was able to get me in and out the door within the hour for $100. This was the cheapest quote that I got after calling a few local ESJ shops and no appointment was necessary. The worker even went out of his way to jump my car after I couldn't start it and was genuinely concern. Highly recommended!! read more

ALL mechanics are crappy, because they do NOT possess any certificate or training. So, be very careful with this place. These guys WILL KILL your car! They do not possess any skills in fixing car and WILL use your car as their experiments to fulfill their learning curves. The results: Your car will suffer little things here and there! Also, there were and hopefully not still are crooked mechanics that would do bad things to your in small ways, e.g., chip off a piece of lead from your wheel so that the wheel would become imbalance! They literally took my freon from my new car! Drained! Even when I didn't even do AC service. Their tools are NOT calibrated at all. I had to argue with them to resurface the brake job they did THREE times! The front wheels were wobbling (and the car was shaking) when breaking at high speed. It means that they didn't resurface the brake rotor evenly! My last job with the timing belt was HORRIBLE! The car screeched and wouldn't turn. I had to bring it back and forced them to fix the problem! So, WATCH WHAT THE MECHANICS DO TO YOUR CAR AND WHAT THEY TAKE! The mechanics can be "crooky"!!! Do NOT come to this place if you value your car and the safety of your family or people riding in your car. These mechanics will DAMAGE your car. You can tell the quality of this place by the number (VERY small) of reviews and how many are bad! Do NOT believe the 3-5 star reviews. Again, for your safety, do NOT come to this place. Look around for many other decent places to go to! read more

Place will only do both brake & lamp inspection. Said they wouldn't do just one inspection. Bad business !

(Cant choose no stars but this one star really means -1) Definitely by far the worst mechanics in the bay area I've known so far, they take 1st place award winning damage to their customers vehicle. So after days and weeks of unsolved problems I get a call saying that the cars been fixed, I show up everything looking good but decided to test out my AC. SURE ENOUGH IT'S BROKEN.. HE FIXES IT OF COURSE BUT HAD TO WAIT ONCE AGAIN, get the next call and says it's done. I show up with a ride praying that it'll be done for sure. I get there inspect for leaks, noise ect. Looked good sounded good....... I paid the man the remaining $1,150 cash and got my keys.. as I start the car on to leave I noticed that he stands outside looking at me expecting something. . Sure enough check engine light comes on.. and worst of all my car didn't want to go in reverse??? There was gas accelerated but no reverse. Goes straight tho. As I noticed this I called him. He knew that would happen but said NOTHING before I payed him. All of a sudden he starts telling me the problems that the car has. Blah.blah.blah. well he's happy he got paid while my car's not drivable. And still has the nerve to tell me to go to his friends because his friend can fix it. I don't trust him or anyone he knows as far as I can smell them. And fix what? Problems that he damaged! So moral of the story you pay cheap you're going to get cheap, he totally did a mickey mouse job. Unsatisfied. I paid $1,650 with my car having ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS!! if it ever did have these issues before I would of gotten it fixed! I absolutely didn't drive my car around without reverse for 2 years and now coming out his shop it had no reverse. (Shifting problem). But anyways I filed a complaint towards BAR. And definitely taking legal issues don't care if I have lawyer expenses. His business shouldn't be in business at all if he has no automotive knowledge. So people that read this please don't come here thinking about the price. Let's your friends and family know before it's too late. He didn't even offer to fix my vehicle for his mistakes. BTW he also did interior damage!! read more

my usual mechanic moved to the McLaughlin area of sj so I had to find another mechanic. recommended by my dad so I went in. it's located near little Portugal in another part of sj next to mcdonald's. everything seemed ok after they fixed my car until I noticed the oil change light was still lit. I had to come back asking for a receipt and tell them to reset the light. the main guy gave me an annoyed tone of voice after I told him what happened. well you guys deserved it after whispering about me when I'm right there!! because this place is in a ghetto area of sj, backing the car out of the shop was terrible. I miss my regular mechanic... read more

Do NOT ever come here. They definitely do not know what they are doing. They could not even do something as simple as finding out whether or not if my tire had a hole in it or not. What makes you think they will know how to fix anything else? Apparently, their method involves shining a flashlight at the tire and acting like they know what they are looking for. Sure enough, they charged me $10 and the guy even had the nerve to say, "Your tire is good, we even check brake too, it good" (Asian Accent). Horrible, horrible service. Save your hard-earned money and go somewhere else. ABC Care Care is a joke. The owner is a penny-pinching, dishonest person. I repeat, do not ever come here! read more

Went in to have some work done on my car early in the morning and had a great time waiting. Me and the main guy had a great conversation and he even served me some coffee as I was waiting. They worked very quickly. I well be returning in the future. read more
