I had a seller bring in a used car for a pre purchase inspection. I live in Santa Cruz, and I chose…read morethis shop specifically because of the breadth of the diagnostic service they offer. Arun sent me a detailed and itemized list of required repairs that were prioritized by required immediately to those needed soon and upcoming. Arun explained the results and answered all my questions. It was money well spent. I was able to make a rational fact based decision and not purchase this car and save myself a $14,000 headache. If I lived in the Fremont area, I would not hesitate to bring my car here for service.

I reached out to Praveen for an ECU tune and some other after market parts on my Jaguar F-Type R75…read more He was knowledgeable, responsive and excited to do the work. After I placed the hardware order he arranged for the vehicle's work to be done and returned it to me with a roughly 125 horsepower gain. We took this car from 0-60 in ~3.4 to 0-60 in ~2.8-2.9. Icing on the cake, post product support. Just got a text from him asking how the vehicle is performing. Above and beyond what is necessary! He had an assortment of Land Rovers and Aston Martin he was working on when I was onsite which is always good to see. My next car is almost certainly going to be an Aston Martin and Praveen will be the guy to do any work.

Jorge is THE MOST HONEST AND QUICK mechanic I have ever used. He charges you for parts (at cost)…read moreand labor. That is it! He makes his money from labor and his labor charge is VERY VERY reasonable. I asked him once why he doesn't upcharge and he answered, "I have been a mechanic for many many years for other people and have seen how they treat people. I wanted to open my own shop to help people feel safe and comfortable in their cars! I love the work and helping people fix their vehicles!" He was serious and he proves that to me time and time again with the repairs he does on my cars. He keeps all parts he takes off to show you He buys his parts as at cost through a distributor and does not up charge. If the best is $22 that's what he charges you. He will hardly ever say no to you He is more than willing to examine and 'take a quick look and listen' as a curtosy He was once repairing the button to close the side door of my van, he opened up the other side and noticed that one was looking a little frayed so just fixed it to save me the hassle later but didn't let it affect the labor time. I cannot day enough good about him. His is TRUSTWORTHY AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE which in my opinion are the TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU WANT IN A MECHANIC! He has me as a customer for life and he knows that. I bring my cars to him for oil changes, even though I can do them myself because I want him to have the business. Nuff said.

Lucked up on meeting Jorge yesterday afternoon while looking for a second opinion on work for my…read morewife's car. Was immediately captivated when he offered me a free estimate without knowing me. I was impressed with his vast knowledge and detailed explanations which were quite informative! Jorge called me after diagnosing the true problem and did the work in a timely and less expensive manner! Making me and my wife very happy! I will most definitely return to and refer others to JR Auto Repair! Exceptional work at a fair and reasonable price is very hard to find. I thanked him profusely and let him know I'd bee a repeat customer for sure! Appreciated!

Sayed Baktash Sarwari at Berkeley Honda is the best! I've had some really bad experiences leasing…read morecars before, so I walked in expecting the worst. He was honest and direct with me the whole time. He also knows a ton about the process, the cars, all the tech in the car, and the lease contract itself. I asked him a lot of questions. He never seemed rushed or annoyed and never put any pressure on me. He's also just a great person. He was always calm and clear, and willing to answer any question twice. Buying a car is stressful and he made it easy. I'd send my own family to him. Cannot recommend him more. Adam Hegazy was great too. He gave me a great price on the lease and equity for my trade-in without any hassle. The two of them together made this the best car experience I've had.

I purchased a groupon for a smog check then booked an appointment through yelp. Upon arrival, they…read moreinformed me there was a technical issue with yelp and the appointments were not going through from yelp. They recommended calling in to make an appointment next time. I had the time though, so I stuck around and waited a bit before they were able to squeeze me in for the smog check (less than 30 min wait). The service was super quick and all the employees I interacted with were professional and polite. I'll likely be back next time I need service or a smog check (but with a phone appointment)!

I bought a break fluid oil flush voucher on groupon for mini cooper. Before I went to the shop, I…read morecalled the merchant to schedule an appointment with my car info and how it's working. The owner didn't mention ay additional charges. When I went to the shop , the owner told me I need to pay additional $40 dollars for oil recycling which is not mentioned on the groupon website. I told him I can accept the charge and I need the receipt with the $40 additional charge to follow up with groupon about it. The owner said I am not interested in the deal anymore and asked me to leave and get a refund from groupon. I also noticed the owner increased the break fluid flush price on groupon from $160 to $240 after I left the shop today. It's a really bad experience for customers that the owner can change his mind and reject the service. Update for owner's review below "a vehicle that is directly not covered in the advertisement" , groupon adversisement doesn't mention any special vehicle price. After the owner told me to charge additional $40, I was confused and later accepted the charge while telling him to get the receipt for reference then I can follow up with groupon. After that, the owner refused to do the service. I guess the owner don't want his practice to be exposed to groupon. The owner could have listed the additional charge on the groupon website in the beginning to let customers be clear about all the cost. " TheThe individual came in with a vehicle that is directly not covered in the advertisement. We told him it would be an additional $20 and there was also $20 for hazardous waste because the Groupon does not cover exotic Europeans he's on here acting like a child and leaving negative reviews I offered to work with him but he was combative and at that point we had asked him to leave do the safety constraints of the business and our employees.

Juan offered to look at the issues I was told by the dealership I had. Some of the items the dealer said I needed Juan was upfront and said it wasn't necessary or could wait. He agreed with a few issues (brake pads was #1) and two other items he will address next week. Once I left the business, I felt a sigh of relief. I didn't feel played or taken advantage of. Juan never rushed me and explained things in a way I understood. I appreciate him and his staff. I just got my brake pads done today and next week, he will complete the other items. If you need automotive work done, you owe it to yourself to go to G&J Auto repair.

I debated on writing this, but I thought it would be good for consumers to know…read more I reached out to G&J for a quote on a transmission fluid change on a newer Chevy Tahoe. They QUICKLY reached back out and quoted me over a $1000 for the job, while Elk Grove Chevy quoted me just over $700. I knew this job entailed dropping the pan and working around the exhaust. Something that is really easy to do once on a lift. All in all...a 1.5 hour job, and that's a BIG stretch. I shared this dealer quote with them, and it was basically shared with me that I should go there (not in a rude way). Well, obviously I did. The moral of the story for me and for others should be, DON'T assume ind. auto mechanics will be cheaper than the dealership. I ALWAYS want to support local business, but I will not support local businesses when they can't do a job at a fair price, and I feel like the trend with specialized labor has been leaning way towards a place it never used to be.
