5/5 service: Called to make an appointment on Friday & they texted me I could see them Monday morning. The place is very small, but the mechanics are knowledgeable. My oil change for my Prius was only $84, which is affordable in San Mateo. Also, they installed my weatherstrip for free! Great people :) read more

AutoCraft - Auto repair - Tires Near Me - San Mateo, California

Noel is incredibly kind and sincere! I told him my 2011 Chevy needed some work, and he fit me into his busy schedule super last minute. Tire was flat, High-Voltage Charging error on dash (car didn't charge), key fob didn't work. He resolved everything in less than 20 min! Absolutely mind-blowing. I came back the next day for a headlight restoration, again done super promptly. When it came to paying he first refused (saying they were small fixes), I ended up paying a very reasonable rate. 5/5 stars - highly reccomend read more

I would't bring my car anywhere else besides Autocraft. They're the best in the area and honest. The owner "Noel" is very kind and genuine to truely help the customer. He is the Best in European and Asian cars. Also excellent in American cars. I have different automobiles with different brand and I bring all of them here. His Staff are also good people and knowledgeable and would be able to see issue right away. Pricing is also reasonable, and the quality of work is dependable workmanship. Scheduling appt is also easy, and they'll try to accomodate you knowing the circumstances and urgent need of the repair. read more

Noel and his team are very honest and knowledgeable. So thankful for them! I appreciate that I can trust that they correctly diagnose the problem and breakdown clear and fair pricing. They've fixed my AC and radiator in the last year and my car has worked great since! read more

Noel is such a skilled mechanic in any motor vehicle and I have known him for so many years. He is very practical in his approach and very logical in solving problems! I consider him to be one of the best mechanic I've known and wont mind driving from Los Angeles to his shop in San Mateo to do the annual maintenance general check up and repairs for our vehicles! You would be in good hands with this guy! read more

Wow! Mic drop, Just when I was about to lose faith in all humanity, I went to AutoCraft. I had a flat tire, reach out to them via LinkedIn and they said I could bring the car right down. I got held up on a work call for 30 minutes so was late. When I arrived I was told that several cars showed up before me and that I would have to wait my turn, 30 minutes. Great, I was happy to do that. They set a reasonable expectation with a reasonable explanation. In 10 minutes they started working on the tire and I was gone in 15 minutes. I have written some nasty reviews for what I found to be appallingly bad service. So I am really pleased to tell the loyal reader about a great experience and an unequivocal recommendation. Caveat: you might not experience my little miracle, but these guys definitely seem to try! Lesson: get there early because, like the favorite donut shop, the line forms before opening. read more

After doing a bit of research between different auto shops and reading countless reviews I decided to go with Autocraft. The price quoted to me was very reasonable and I went with the fact that Noel has been doing this for over 20+ years and has specialty with European cars. I booked an appointment for a brake change and he quickly called me and let me know that my brakes were fine but my rotors were the ones who needed the work done. He assured me that the service would still stay near my previously discussed budget and I readily agreed to anything he had to do because I knew I could trust his expertise. My cars brakes are no longer screeching and I also got my headlight replaced as well. All in all I am very glad to have gone with this body shop over any of the others I researched. If you're looking to be serviced here I highly recommend it. read more

Noel does small jobs like changing bulbs for nothing. He always charges a fair price and doesn't try to "upsell" services that are not required. The most honest mechanic I know. read more

Autocraft is an awesome and honest business. Been there some years now and I trust their judgement on recommendations and diagnosis.

I had my car at a mechanic for two weeks and he couldn't figure out what was wrong with my car. My sister recommended Noel and he figured it out in 5 minutes! I will be bringing my cars back to him because he is fast, reliable- and honest. Highly recommend read more

Noel and his team are very welcoming and a truly great shop for your vehicles. Precise with diagnostics and repairs at a fair price. Noel welcomes you like family and his knowledge of cars,,,Amazing,,,!! I highly recommend having your cars serviced here,,, you'll be very Happy! read more

My car(Mercedes c250) was making a ticking noise and I called last minute to get it checked out. Didn't realize it was overdue for a service for half a year. Engine was in pretty bad condition when I brought it in but Noel and his team were able to fix it without having to replace the engine. They did an engine flush right away and did an oil change too. Great service and great people. Thank you!! read more

Went here the other day and helped me out with something minor with my car. The shop seemed to be busy but Noel, I guess the owner, took the time to greet me and asked me what was wrong with my car. He went to take a look at it then BAM, within 15 mins I was out of the shop. I noticed when I got home that my headlights were a little bit more shinier than before! The shop was immaculate and clean, the workers were friendly and Noel went above and beyond meeting above my expectations. Will definitely recommend this place and will definitely be coming back. read more

Very nice people and great service. Did the inspection, wheel balancing and rotation for me super quickly. Highly recommend!

Noel is trustworthy, reliable and dependable. The team is well organized and deliver on the quality of their work. Over all great communication. read more

TLDR; My car was messed up (needed new tires, new axel, airbag coding, oh and oil change) and Noel and his team got all these things fixed by the next day - and I didn't have to go broke to get it done! -- My VW GTI was absolutely on its last limb when I brought it into Noel's shop. I had been in an accident 3 years prior which essentially required me to replace the entire front left area of my car. Where we brought it before thru insurance, we thought, did a good job putting it back together. Fast forward 3 years, and I'm bring my car into AutoCraft for an oil change (based of a friend's referral) and I find out I'd been driving in what in simple terms could be considered a death trap. Noel let me know immediately that my front left axel which was supposedly fixed, was leaking grease and that my airbags never were coded correctly post-accident (so I had been driving without properly working airbags... yeah, death trap). On top of these issues, I, by my own fault, never rotated my tires after the accident - and my back 2 tires were on their last thread. Noel sent me photos of each issue and respectfully waited for me to give the OK to fix, which obviously I said yes cuz I was not tryna die! In my mind I'm thinking, well shit, this is going to cost me an arm and a leg, but it turns out, the price for the work done was frickin cheap and not at all the $$$$ I wouldve had to spend at the Volkswagon shop. My car runs like a dream again and I'm so grateful that I'm typing this review alive and well!!! Would recommend Noel & the team at AutoCraft to anyone who needs any services done efficiently, reasonably priced, and with extreme care. THANK YOU!!! read more

I have an old Sprinter van that has been giving me troubles for the past 6 months. I tried 2 different mechanics previously and they were not able to solve the problem. Noel took the time to diagnose and fix the problem always providing me with updates and estimates along the way. The price was fair and the work was top notch. I would highly recommend Noel and Autocraft! read more

Best autoshop experience I've ever had. My car needed the wheel bearings changed so I came in off the recommendation of a friend. I actually live in Sacramento but visit the bay often and Noel was very accomodating--he let me drop my car off on Friday as soon as I got in and I got it right back the next day! He even showed me pictures of how bad my bearings were, which I didn't ask for but was very nice of him to do because you never really know if you're being upsold something at an autoshop. Great customer service, honest, and fast! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thanks again Noel! read more

Can't say enough good things about this shop. Got me in same day for a brake job and was very honest in telling me that my front rotors didn't need to be replaced (as I had been quoted from another shop). My brakes have never been smoother and the price was very fair. read more

I have brought a lot of cars here at AutoCraft. Asian, American mostly European cars. The issues may be simple to way complicated stuff. Noel will always give a comprehensive report emphasizing on safety of us driver/owner. It is always a pleasant experience talking to Noel which shows his thorough knowledge and lengthy experience in his field. I highly recommend his shop to friends and relatives. Thank you Noel. Job well done as always. - B. Franco read more

Best place to go for maintenance! My number 1 place, the owner and the receptionist are the best. The mechanics are extremely hardworking and they are absolutely the best. I definitely recommend this spot. :) read more

It's not common to come by a shop that specializes in these types of vehicles. I always have a peace of mind knowing that honest and quality work is being done to my vehicles when I bring them to Noel. Enjoy coffee in the waiting room and get some LiquiMoly to your car. read more

I have a 2004 Honda Accord stick shift that needed to get the clutch replaced. After taking it into AutoCraft to get my car done, not only did the car drive smooth, it felt like driving a brand new car again. You can feel the big difference from when I dropped it off to when I drove away. I highly recommend everyone to go get their car fixed here. Noel, the owner, was very warm and accommodating to me. I'll never go to another auto body shop again. With the service, labor, and performance put into my car, there's no way I'll go anywhere else. Thanks guys of AutoCraft! read more

Way Over due!!!! Long Story Short, a nail in my tire came out and caused me to have a flat on my way to work. I called the shop and Noel told me to Stop by even tho he didn't open for another 30 min. After Noel patched up my tire I asked how much it would be? He responded by saying "don't worry about it, just have a great day" (he did not want to take my money). This act of kindness made my Week!!! I will definitely be bringing my any future business here! read more

Noel is great! Took care of my son's wheel bearing and made my car run smooth with a new break and 4 new tires. He always takes care of his customers I'm a customer of his in the past and now at his own shop. Treated like family. read more

I was able to get 4 tires at a considerably better price than at Big O Tires. I also had the AC system drained and recharged. The work was completed and my truck ready by late afternoon on the day I took it in. Everything was done well - I did notice that they left a valve stem off of one tire, but I had an extra one so I didn't bother to go back. The AC works great- just in time for a heat wave. I recommend this business without hesitation. read more

Noel and his team do excellent work, his fees are reasonable and appropriate. He always explains what work needs to be done and what can wait or doesn't need to be done. He works on all of our vehicles, Mazda, Mercedes, BMW & Lexus. He knows all of the makes & models, he is a car whisperer! read more

I had a problem with my windshield wash not working. I called around and Noel said he would be able to look at it. My wife drove the car to the shop and Noel was able to work on the car and replace the pump motor in short time. Everything fixed and my wife is happy again. Happy wife happy life, I'm still learning but I leave the car fixing to Noel and the crew. read more

My VW Golf battery wasn't holding charge. Two separate CSAA battery service techs had tested my battery and said it was fine and suggested I take it to a mechanic to ID a problem somewhere in the electrical system. I called two garages besides AutoCraft. Both of the other garages wanted to charge their full hourly rates for a diagnosis and then more for repair. When I called Noel he decisively told me that the problem was with my battery. I was relieved to hear him say that but also a bit skeptical after my experiences with CSAA techs. He said he had a different piece of equipment that could better-detect battery issues. He also said he would not charge for any diagnosis. He was both correct with his diagnosis, and true to his word, didn't charge for any diagnosis, nor even labor, just for the cost of the battery. Noel has earned my trust and I will be bringing my cars back to him. read more

Noel has been taking care of our cars for some time. Benz, BMW, Lexus, Mazda, and Nissan. His work is always professional and the shop always seems to be able to find time for our cars. The best part is the customer service. Today it was a tuneup for the SL. Driving home I was impressed and very satisfied with repair. I will always go to Noel at AutoCraft first for non-warranty service. read more

I found this auto repair shop by accident. I was desperately looking for a place to open my 2010 528 BMW back trunk which suddenly could not be opened. It happened on the Thanksgiving weekend and almost all the auto shops were closed. I drove passed the store and saw the door was open. The owner Noel was very nice and quickly checked the car. He told me that the wire could be broken, since the store was close that day and it may take some time to fix the problem ( he needs to crawl into the back trunk from the back row seats to open the trunk and fix the problem), he asked me whether I live close by and come by on the following Monday. On that Monday morning I brought in my car. In a couple of hours I received the phone call from Noel telling me that the car is ready to pick up. Very nicely he also offered to pick me up to get my car. The charge for the repair was very reasonable, much cheaper than the dealer's, I was also deeply impressed by his technique based on his work on my car. Because of that, I asked him to fix my 2008 Toyota Sienna back door which also could not be opened for a while. Quickly he found out the locker was broken, the problem was gone after he replaced the locker. I am so happy to find this auto repair shop and from now on I will rely on Noel on all my car repairs. read more
