The dealership told me that I had an oil leak. I took my Rav4 to Ashton and they took a look at it while we went to lunch. Ashton let me know that the leak was a "touch of oil" - and I wouldn't need to have it fixed until the leak actually started showing on the garage floor. I appreciated Ashton's honesty and felt better at knowing how "serious" or "not serious" this leak was. read more

After trying several mechanics in the area (and not overly thrilled with their operations), I returned to Yelp for help (Hey, I should trademark that phrase!) Anyhow, Ashton Auto Service stood out with their 5 star, well-written reviews, so I recommended my wife to take her Exploder there for an oil change (done with the Ford dealer and their all-day shenanigans for a 30 minute service.) My wife scheduled an appointment and was very pleasantly surprised when they were ready on time and handled their business in short order. Steve was very friendly and helpful AND his free WiFi waiting area was clean - unlike some other mechanics in the area who offer filthy waiting areas. In all, it was an excellent experience and my teen son will be the next to take his car there for its service needs. Thanks Steve & Ashton Auto Service - a 5 star local business! read more

Fast and reliable service. It's my first time took my car to Ashton Auto. I did not make an appointment and i need someone to work on my car fast. The guy took me in and work on the repair. Within an hour; i am out of the shop. Very friendly staffs; reasonable prices. read more

Took my daughters Subaru for an oil change after she had a lousy experience at Livermore Subaru trying to get us to do totally unnecessary service. Friendly and quick service and a little cheaper than the Subaru dealers. I would use them again. read more

My transmission fluid was leaking and needed to be replaced ASAP. I called early Monday morning and brought my car in 30 minutes after. They were very helpful and didn't give me the run around. A small mom and pop shop feel with great prices. read more

I needed new brakes & an oil change on one car and a smog & oil change on another. After making a few phone calls for pricing and getting a first impression on the phone from places I decided on Ashton Auto Service. I'm really glad I did. Prices were good and service was great. It's really easy access right on Dublin Blvd. with reasonable hours. If asked by friends and family I would definitely recommend Ashton Auto Service. Thanks Steve & Brandon! read more

Hands down the best in town. Brandon is a great guy! He took care of my old beat up car in no time! I had gone to four other auto shops before and they all gave me quotes for the work which made no sense. Some of them told me that I need things replaced and my bumper taken off to do the work. Brandon was honest and efficient and he did not burn a hole through my wallet. He delivered and I couldn't be more pleased. I'll be going back for oil changes!! Thank you Brandon, wish more people were honest like you! read more

Called to ask the price, said $50. Went there 10min later, said $70. And the price list on the wall says $61 something. I asked if I could use the yelp $5 off discount, said $50 was already discussed so couldn't. So I left. Just don't like to do business with dishonest people. read more

Brandons a dope guy to talk with. He doesnt make you feel rushed in conversation and he doesnt avoid your phone call even though it may be one any other human may be reluctant to receive and I appreciated that. When my vehicle broke down after leaving the shop I was devastated cuz i thought we fixed the problem. But we ended up doing something else to the Ford that did not necessarily need to be done. So i mean in theory i spent 250 for them to diagnose the problem since they didnt charge me a diagnostics fee. These people are dope to work with. Had hella valuables in my van and nothing was touched and he could of possibly got away with more on the supplier side of things and proposed radiator work to be done that also would be throwing my money down the drain since we found it was the heads with a simple squeegee test to the radiator. So ya def helped me with my Ford of Livermore situation. Peep that yelp review out and youll notice I mention Ashton Auto I just wanted to update review from 4-5 stars because I also was given a jug which I thought it was filled with water and this guy actually gave me a big thing of coolant for the free. Also his advice I implemented is working! So ya kudos to yall. read more

Steve helped me install a new catalytic converter when my old one was stolen. He is a great guy, very knowledgeable, responsive and been in this business for a long time. I had a very pleasant experience with him and definitely will go there for my future car maintenance and repairs. read more

I have an Audi coupe that I always had serviced with the dealership because I couldn't find a good and honest mechanic. My search ended when I saw the yelp reviews on Ashton Auto Service. I immediately called and spoke with Steve about getting my car in for service. He was so nice and accommodating. I was able to get my car in within a few days. He did a Thorough check and told me what was needed. I approved the work and he had my car done in a few hours and it didn't break the bank. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!!! Thanks again Steve read more

From the beginning to the end experience, Steve was great to work with. From responding lightning fast to my request for a quote, to explaining the problem with my car, to giving honest feedback and options that weren't even going to benefit him, Steve is my new go-to mechanic. Thank you for being responsive, conscientious, honest, and personable. I hope to not have to see you again soon, but if I have to, you're it! Thanks Steve for the help this morning! read more

My husband needed a new exhaust manifold For our 02 Tundra and we called Toyota and were shocked at Their price so we Shopped around. Ashton came in less than half of Toyota's quote and instead of a 2-3 day wait, we picked it up the very next day. They are awesome to work with and so down to earth professional. Bye bye Toyota!!! Hello Ashton for all our auto repairs! read more

Super easy to work with Steve and excited to go back (when I need to)! Best price I got from other business that quoted me for the same work and super quick turnaround. read more

THE MOST HONEST AUTO REPAIR SHOP is why these guys are the best in the Bay Area in my family's opinion. Without a doubt, if I can give Ashton Auto Service a 10 or 100 star rating, I would without having to think about it. I'm a proud long time customer for over 10+ years!!! First off, I live in South San Francisco, which there are MANY Auto Repair shops in my area (from Daly City to San Mateo), but I only bring my SUV's to Ashton Auto Service, because they do EXCELLENT work at very reasonable prices (no nickel and diming here), honesty and just really good & friendly customer service. Most repairs are completed in the same day, depending on the time you drop off your car and the amount or type of work you need done, but minor repairs are usually complete within one day, which helps a lot if you only own one vehicle. They also have a tow truck for local tows, you might want to call about getting your vehicle towed to the shop. Contact either Brandon or Steve for an estimate. Just look at the other reviews, customers are very satisfied with their work. read more

Best personalized auto service around the Dublin / Pleasanton area - my family has been coming here for years, and Steve (the owner) is the best. He remembers my parents and I by name, the make and model of our cars, and genuinely cares about whatever issues we have with the car. He goes above and beyond what's expected of a basic oil change or engine diagnostics to tell you his honest opinion and what he recommends. Steve even rotated my tires once when America's Tire told me something weird and that they wouldn't do it. I moved away to San Francisco over a year ago and yet still keep coming back to Ashton Auto because you can't beat their service! Plus they are open on Saturdays and usually pretty fast about getting your car in and out while you wait. read more

Excellent service and repair on AC for my sons car. Thank you !!! Would recommend to anyone seeking a fair price and great service.

Brief: Professional, approachable and they know their shi*t!! Scenario: Went for a car oil change for my Honda Accord 2012 SE Step by step: Made an appointment over phone for car oil change. I was told to stop by at 2 pm and the guy was waiting for me. Handed over keys, they asked to come back in 20 minutes. They checked tire pressure, changed oil and returned extra oil in my 5 quarts bottle. I asked for improving car milage and he checked my air filter (which he found dirty :( :( ) and suggested to change it. He gave directions where to get it and didn't even charged me for changing air filter. Amazing guys, took reasonable time and charged me only $20 for oil change + air filter change (I bought my oil+ filter from Walmart). Would highly recommend them for car service and don't forget to make an appointment. Thanks Ashton Auto Service! read more

THESE GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL! i have been coming here for almost as many years as i've been driving! ashton has always taken such awesome care of me and they have never tried to sell me something i didn't need. HAZAH! my most recent experience was not too long ago... i was having issues getting the alarm to disarm and really didn't wanna take it to the dealership. the owner tinkered and played with my car but couldn't figure out what the problem was. he told me because he couldn't figure it out himself, nor could he fix it, he wouldn't charge me for any of his time. he gave me his best suggestions to get around paying a bunch of money at the dealership. i took his advice and saved myself a couple hundred bucks! i couldn't recommend this place more!!! i mean when it comes to your car; why wouldn't you take your car to an honest reliable shop?! read more

Took my Odyssey to the Honda Dealership for a routine oil change. Coming out, they recommended a laundry list of items to fix including changing my transmission fluid. I used request a quote a reached out to a handful of local shops. Steve from Ashton Auto Service responded within an hour with a reasonable quote. They were able to get the job done the same day and do so while I stopped by the nearby shops. Spoke with Steve and he mentioned that this place has been here for 20+ years. If the job is going to take just an hour or so, I'd recommend going to Caps & Taps, Denicas or The Mix Creamy which are all good. read more

Good service for my oil change. They even had my favorite oil. Mobile 1 full synthetic! I would recommend this place to a friend. *Edit: I have had them do some more work on my car and they have been up front and helpful in figuring everything out. read more

That Jeff! What a man of remarkable integrity! My heart is broken because the sweet little convertible I unwisely bought off Craigslist from a stranger needs a whole new engine, but the sting is lessened because Jeff didn't take advantage of my total motor vehicle ineptitude. He actually said, "I'd love to take your good money but I can't do that in good conscience." Moral of the story: before you buy a used car from a stranger, take it to Jeff to check out. He is professional and thorough. The next car I buy will go there immediately to be looked over and I will take it in for all its maintenance. Thank you for being so kind and honest! It made a bad situation much more bearable. read more

I took my Honda Odyssey in to get its brakes checked. I had new brake pads put in before we drove out from Colorado. By the time we left Yosemite, they were hot and gave off a burning smell. Steve adjusted my brakes for free, explaining in lay terms what was wrong with them. He even gave me notes in detail explaining what was wrong & what he fixed. This is an independent auto shop that I recommend and will go back to, if I need anything during my visit and when we're in the area again. read more

Ashton Auto Service - Ashton Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Dublin, California

Not happy at all with these guys. Had CV joints/hubs/bearings/brakes on my truck. Driver side shock falls off, breaks my new hub, they say to bad not my problem... Girlfriend took her car their 6 months ago and they forgot to put a bunch of bolts back on several things. Learned my lesson. No integrity. read more

If your looking to get work done are have any questions about your car or truck this is the place to go. Steve and Brandon had the best prices and where vary nice answering all my questions and more and not to mention they had the best price of any shop. I would definitely recommend this place to go... Thanks Steve & Brandon... read more

I've been a Ashtons customer since 2015. I've always recommended them; friends, family, and coworkers. They've always come through with fair prices and honest work. Best option in terms of price and customer service Dublin/San Ramon area. Update: One issue I had while having water pump gasket replaced. This particular mechanic bent a sensor, caused the car to sound like a lawn mower when I drove away. I brought the car back and I wasn't welcomed. They were very defensive and argued that I was to blame. They refused to help, but I am car savvy and have my own OBD that proved my case. Had I not owned a OBD car diagnostic scanner that definitively proved they caused the issue than they would not have helped me. I never received an apology and they seemed annoyed to have to fix what their mechanic broke. For the most part I still think they are one of the better repair shops and still recommend them, but I have not returned. read more

My first impression of this place is wow! I called around to a bunch of places to get quotes on how much the service I wanted was and how much in advance I had to make an appointment. They were able to see me the same day and without an appointment. The price wasn't cheap nor was it expensive. It was reasonable and about the same as what I would get at most other places. Definitely cheaper than the dealership. The location is tucked away in a small shopping center so unless you're looking for it, you won't find it. If I didn't have my GPS on me, I wouldn't have seen it. Where this place really shines is customer service and their work. The work was very thorough and they even briefly inspected other components in the same proximity as where I ordered work. The guy who answered the phone and who I dealt with, Steve, was very friendly and helpful. I would have to say he was the friendliest out of the 10 other local places I called. They were very honest unlike most other places so when they say you need to get work done, you really do. It's not like some other places where they always push you to get services you don't need and using the line "in the worst case scenerio..." to nearly scare you into getting the service done like a lot of places do. All in all I highly recommend this place to get your car serviced. They are honest , reasonable in price, and seem genuinely friendly to work with. Normally you only find two of the three, but this place has all three. I will definitely come back here for all my major car work and will recommend this place to anyone who asks. read more

I was referred over to Ashton Auto Service after a faulty tow and need for a deeper inspection to identify the original problem. I could not be happier with Brandon's service from start to end. He was reassuring about my car being in good hands and kept me well informed about the issues at hand. I've truly never had a better auto service experience and Ashton Auto now has a new long-term customer. I will be more than happy to refer them to anyone and am relieved that I now have a trustworthy go to. Thank you again for the 10/10 service! Keep up the excellent work and customer service. read more

These guys were SO helpful and friendly, I was amazed at how they went above and beyond to help me out when my car broke down on the freeway. They were honest and upfront about everything that needed to be done, as well as costs. They had great senses of humor to help get me through a hard time and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Thank you guys! read more

Highly recommend these guys, even if it's for a simple vehicle inspection. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. I've had head gaskets serviced on mustang, ford 8.8 rear end swapped, fleet vehicles serviced, "Classic" 240z worked on. Not only the vehicles I own and manage serviced or smogged, but I've recommended family and friends. I've been going here long enough that I've had to bring a car back. They stood by their word and fixed the car up. No ones perfect and as a person who runs the service department of a construction, you can't make everyone happy. They definitely try to make everybody a satisfied customer, and I believe, they do it at a fair price. read more

I was inquire about car inspection from this facility but the guy who took the phone said they don't need anymore business and was very impolite taking my call. If you are looking for car inspection or repair, this is a facility you shouldn't go to. I cannot rely on such poor customer service facility to inspect my car!!!! read more

If you want to get your car or truck fixed right the first time this is the place to go to. Ashton has been servicing our cars and trucks for years and never been disappointed. Brandon has always gone beyond the call of duty for us and has always made us feel welcome. I just brought my Colorado for a brake service that turned into a nightmare with the rear drums being seized on. They took care of it and did an excellent job. Even though we moved away from Dublin we gladly travel the 60 miles here to have Ashton take care of our cars and trucks when needed. Specially for those tasks we do not want to do ourselves! Thanks again guys! read more

These guys are hands down an honest shop. Good people who don 't try to nickel and dime you.

I moved to the Bay Area last summer leaving behind who I thought was the best mechanic. I can honestly say I found the best with Ashton Auto. I have an older car I've had to get repairs on since arriving and I feel that I haven't been overcharged and taken advantage of. The guys who work there are friendly, honest, helpful, and most of all, very knowledgeable about cars. I would highly recommend this establishment for your family auto needs. This is the only place I will ever take my vehicles. read more

Just want to personally thank Steve and Brandon for always taking care of my van and my mom's SUV. Always honest about what the work that is needed, and provides us with reasonable pricing. Service is done quick and very flexible with my schedule. I won't bring my cars anywhere else. Thanks Ashton Auto Service! read more

Highly recommended. For you car needs dont go anywhere else but here. Honesty skills talent and excellent customer service you name it. I brought my truck with noise that was diagnosed i would say that will not remove the noise and here my truck is totally brand new. Thank you Steven and the staff read more

I've been taking all my cars to Ashton Auto for about 5 years now. Great customer service, and everyone I've dealt with has been honest, fair, and friendly. Also, they now have a waiting room with wifi, which makes it much more convenient to get work done while waiting. I highly recommend this shop! read more

These guys are amazing. I've brought my car in for two different repairs (front brake replacement and power steering replacement). They were honest, fair and blunt in their assessment and recommendations. When I had the first repair (brake replacement) done, I had an issue with the wheel axle breaking after the repair. Thinking I would have to spend even more money, I called in to find out that they would happily replace the part and fix it with no additional charge or hassle. Their primary concern was my safety, and satisfaction with their service. When I got my recent repair completed, they were efficient and quick, knowing I was on a time crunch with a new baby on the way. I can't recommend these guys more - it's great to support local business and small shops like these! read more

I have been going here for a while for my oil and filter change except this time when they completely dropped the ball on me and refused to acknowledge their fault. Basically they just didn't do the oil/filter change. My oil level dropped to almost empty within 2 months and tire pressure warning popped up on the dashboard as they normally check tire pressure during oil change. Despite pointing out all these glitches they offered to do an oil change but charging the full amount (75$). I went to another auto shop and got it done for 40$. And one more thing - I had asked them to fix my bulbs. Guess what, i see a warning sign on my dashboard. I see great reviews for this auto shop but what really makes one great is owning up to your mistake and this was a glaring one. i feel cheated. read more

I do most of my own car repairs, but I had some trouble getting the second of my new LCAs installed, and because I wanted to have a professional shop do the wheel alignment anyway, I popped the old one back in and called Ashton Auto for a quote. I actually tried to compare their prices with Wheel Works in Dublin, but no one at Wheel Works bothered to pick up the phone, so that pretty much settled the question for me. At Ashton Auto, I talked with Brandon. He was very professional, upfront, and respectful, which is hard to find in a mechanic, probably because I'm a woman and most mechanics I've met were guys who assumed I don't know what a dipstick is, or how to do basic math. Brandon gave me a fair and transparent quote for the installation and alignment: the number of hours of work he estimated was reasonable, the labor cost per hour was fair for an experienced mechanic, and the overall math worked out. That's as good as it gets, so I brought my car in the next morning. Pedro gave me a ride home, and a few hours later, Brandon called to let me know that I could pick up my car. The final price I paid matched the quote I was given, and my car handles much better now. Both Brandon and Pedro seemed like really good, solid, straight-up guys. Good mechanics aren't cheap, and honest ones are worth their weight in gold. I highly recommend this shop. read more
