    Fast, great job and friendly. Easy to find and another positive point was that you can renew your DMV paper and get updated tags.

    My alternator failed on a Sunday morning and my car was towed to Oakdale Garage. Even though they…read morewere closed, one of the partners was there doing paperwork and opened the back door so my car wouldn't have to sit outside in front of the shop overnight. Carey and his team were extremely conscientious and did a great job trying to keep costs down. The repair was made and my car is running great again. I will definitely be back!

    (1 star) I brought…read moremy 2013 Honda Civic into Oakdale Automotive about 7 months ago for an air conditioning problem. After dropping the car off, I went several days with no communication. When I finally called, I was told they had ordered the wrong part. After about a week without my car, I was charged roughly $1,500 just to get the A/C blowing cold again. When I picked the car up, I immediately discovered both headlights were out. I had to replace the bulbs myself. I brought the car back and asked about it, but they weren't able to determine what caused the issue. Fast forward 7 months, and the A/C failed again. They replaced the compressor a second time. A few days later, while on a trip to the Sierras, the car suddenly lost electrical power--power steering, brakes, and multiple warning lights all came on. I was barely able to get it safely off the road in Jamestown and had to have it towed home. While preparing to replace the alternator and serpentine belt (given the mileage), I discovered several concerning issues: the main power wire to the alternator was floppy loose, the battery negative cable was not properly tightened, and a wire routing clip near the alternator wasn't secured. Since access to the A/C compressor typically involves working in that area, it raises serious concerns about the quality of the previous work. I can't say with absolute certainty what caused everything, but the timing and condition of these components make it hard to ignore. Overall, this was a frustrating and concerning experience--poor communication, repeat repairs, and workmanship issues that could have led to a dangerous situation. I would recommend others proceed with caution.

This was one of the few times that I had used Yelp's project feature to find a mechanic. Robles's auto repair was the quickest to reply and also ended up having one of the most competitive prices. Using the project feature of Yelp allowed me to stay in constant communication with Gabriel. I was kept abreast of the repairs on my vehicle and they even stuck around a little after hours to make sure I could get my car after the repairs were done. That Stockton traffic can be a doozy. The issue with my vehicle was a leak in the radiator that Mercedes said would cost $2400 to repair at the dealership, but with Robles's auto repair, I was able to do it for under $800. The parts in general are not what's expensive just my model and Mercedes has a lot of pieces that have to be removed to get access to the radiator. Now my car is running great and I should be good for a long time. If you're looking for a family run business, this is your next stop for your engine, rebuild transmission, rebuild, and general automotive repairs

    Robles Auto Repair delivers exactly what most shops promise and few actually provide: reliability,…read moreprofessionalism, and fair pricing. From the very first message, their responsiveness stood out. Communication was prompt, clear, and respectful, which immediately set the tone for the experience. That professionalism carried through every step, from the initial contact to dropping off our Escalade for new brakes and rotors. The shop itself isn't flashy, and that turns out to be part of its charm. What it lacks in frills, it more than makes up for in competence and integrity. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and straightforward, with no upselling or pressure. Most importantly, the work was completed exactly when they said it would be, something that feels increasingly rare in auto repair. The quality of service paired with the best price we found made this an easy win. Robles Auto Repair proves that excellent service doesn't need a fancy showroom, just honesty, skill, and respect for the customer's time. Highly recommended.

    I had an absolutely terrible experience with Scenic Towing. After being stranded in a parking lot…read moreabout 25 minutes from home with my 1-year-old, I called for service and was given an ETA. They confirmed twice that a driver was on the way, so I waited patiently. Over two and a half hours later, no one ever showed up.Instead of arriving, the service was suddenly canceled with no explanation at all. No phone call, no update, nothing. I was left sitting there with my child after relying on their confirmation that help was coming. It's extremely frustrating and honestly unacceptable for a company to give false ETAs, repeatedly confirm service, and then simply cancel without any communication. When someone is stranded, especially with a young child, reliability and honesty matter. I pay for roadside assistance benefits specifically for situations like this, and Scenic Towing completely failed to provide the service they promised. This experience was stressful, unsafe, and incredibly disappointing. I would not recommend this company to anyone who actually needs dependable roadside assistance.

So I called scenic towing because of yelp and the fact that they were in Modesto. They were able to get the flatbed tow truck to my location in about 40 minutes.

I appreciate the ease of working with scenic, towing the fact that they were available and picked up on my call made a difference and then I was able to pay with Venmo and they provided me with an invoice for my insurance company via email.

I put my query about my Prius' ABS module on Yelp, and received clear, reasonable quotes from Hybrid Experts. When I contacted them, Farag asked me to bring my car in for a free scan, then confirmed the issue with my car. Then he even checked with the dealership to see if the repairs would be covered under an extended recall period. He also clearly laid out the breakdown for repairs and another thing I wanted to fix in my car. The repairs happened in a timely manner, and he also made it super convenient for me to drop off and pick up my car. From receiving the quote on Yelp to driving my car back with the issue resolved, Farag and his team were professional, responsive, patient and helpful at every step.

This particular vehicle and really their entire inventory stood out as being well maintained, low-mileage, and priced more competitively than just about anything else I was seeing.

At every step of the process from their initial response to my inquiry email, to scheduling a by-appointment-only test drive, to completing financing paperwork, the team at Century was as accommodating, genuine, and low-pressure as any car buying experience I've ever had. Shout out to Du and Scott who helped me and even stayed very late on a Friday to get the credit applications and other paperwork in order.
