2001 Toyota 4Runner
Ismail S.

BEST AUTO SERVICE SHOP IN THE EAST BAY, HERE'S WHY: Last year of Oct, 31 2020. My 4Runner's Transfercase and Driveshaft both failed catastrophically on 580-W. Called AAA, and they the tow truck driver suggested the best place to go was, you guessed it. "Automotive Consultants" in Dublin, CA. After having my car towed there, they called the next day to help me figure out what exactly needed to be done to the 4Runner. After giving me estimates, and as time went on. I wen't to the shop and checked on the car to see how well they made progress! I was surprised how they were able to clearly show me and take the time to explain what happened to the original parts that failed. It took at least 3 weeks to get it serviced because of some delays in shipment, which is very understandable and was in no rush. The 4Runner ran great for roughly 5 months. Flash Forward to Apr, 16. Took my car back in again for transmission repair because its been showing signs that its slipping gears and etc... I am also currently having them do a new power steering rack and a rear-diff service. Rick took his time to tell me all about warranties, used and remanufactured tranny's and, transmissions from the original dealer. After all, I chose to go with a transmission ordered from the original dealer since it has 1 year (Unlimited mile warranty). Best option even though it would cost more, I would think its worth it, despite the fact its 4Runner and they last a very long time! - Overall, 5-STARS for this place. Whenever I need help getting my car or someone else's car fixed, I can always consult the "Automotive Consultants"! Shoutout to Rick! You guys are HONEST, efficient, reputable and highly-reliable people to work with as a customer of your establishment! I appreciate your level of work, quality and craftsmanship in the Automotive Industry.

I snapped a steering rod on my truck and had it towed to this place, Rick helped me get my truck back on the road. It took them longer than I anticipated, but I guess there were complications. Nevertheless AC gota me back on the road. Would've given a 5 stars, but the price is a little high for the job. I've been around auto mechanics my whole life and worked on my truck most of the time. But this time I couldn't work on my own truck, because I was 500 miles from home n had to work 6 days a week!! Still definitely recommend it if you're near Camp Parks and in need of a mechanic.

See all

He was able to squeeze me in on a busy (and HOT!) Friday to get me back on the road after I had AAA tow me in.

My dealership told me my rear brakes needed to be replaced, but after receiving their estimate, I…read moredecided it would be wise to look for a better alternative. Yelp reviewers didn't disappoint. I called Rich to get an estimate, and his knowledge, professionalism, and fair pricing were enough to convince me to make the drive. Once I met Rich, he inspected both the front and rear brakes and explained that the front brakes were actually more worn than the rear--and that both truly needed replacement. Rich was very accommodating and respectful of my schedule, completing the work while I waited. He also took the time to show me the condition of the old brakes, rotors, and sensors and walked me through everything he found. His assessment was spot on. After finishing the job, he even showed me the new rotors and gave me recommendations on how to properly break in the new brakes. Rich provides the kind of excellent, personable customer service that is rare in many businesses today. In fact, this level of thorough, hands-on service is something I've never experienced at any dealership. I can highly recommend Performance Autowerk!

Rich is a class act! Super honest, fair, and considerate…read more I have a BWM that's out of warranty and received an estimate for service from a local BMW dealer. The price was hefty and I decided to get estimates from BMW service specialists. Based on the super high ratings for Performance Autowerk, they were high on my list. When I reviewed the work that needed to be done, Rich suggested that I bring in my car so he could check it free of charge to make sure the work was needed and not being upsold. He provided a quick and very reasonable estimate. In the end, I decided to use another place because his shop is a long drive for me. But I would recommend him to anyone in the Dublin area.

This post is long, long overdue. I've been going to Tri Valley Auto for the past 8 years. I love…read moreTri-Valley Automotive. After searching for a reputable repair shop, I was pleasantly delighted to meet Don and his great team. We had leased a car from a dealer (new) and after 3 years we bought it. About 6 months after that we took the car in for some upgrade and they came back telling us we needed new breaks and some other things. I took the car to Don and he evaluated everything and said none of it was needed- the car was in incredible condition. I walked out with an oil change (which was one thing I had come in for). It would have been easy for him to rip me off, had he wanted to, but he didn't ad I found him to be consistently honest and reliable. We learned that the vehicle we purchased (the type of car) has had a ton of recalls over the years. While we didn' thave problems with ours, I did talk to Don about whether or not he thought we should trade in or vehicle. With less than 15K miles and no issues, he suggesetd we keep it and I'm really glad that we did as we haven't had any major trouble with it or problems. I probably would have traded it in just from worry had I not talked to Don, and that likely would have been at a loss. Another time, my wipers damaged (years later) and it was scheduled to be a very rainy weekend. Tri-Valley Auto is open M-F and I had to drive more than 40 miles on the weekend, so I pulled into Riley Auto Parts and bought some wipers and asked them to help me install them, since I didn't know how to. I walked out of there having paid about $90- thinking it was probably a good deal. About a week later, I was driving and the wiper flew off the car (obviously, not installed correctly). I called Don, he saw me same day and gave me a new wiper for something rediculously low- I don't recall, but I want to say it was less than $15 and maybe less than $10. I'll never go anywhere else. Another think that I love about Tri-Valley Auto is that they give you an electronic email write-up, so I can clearly see the full assessment, any recommendations, critical needs and also coming future recomendations. As someone not versed in this, it's so nice to have it in writing to so I can review it and make my decisions without pressure. It also allows me to call around for other quotes (which I've done before) and have found that the prices are spot on here and often cheaper than elsewhere. It has helped reconfirm what I already supsected ealy on- that Tri-Valley Auto is really honest, quality service and they care. I love that I can book appoitnments online and that I'm texted as the work is being done and when it's ready to go. As we only have one car, it's critical to get this information in a timely manner. I have had horror stories in other cities where we've lived where the work was done at other shops in an hour but they didn't tell me to 6 hours later- making life very inconvennient when I was waiting around nearby at a coffee shop until they were ready. I never have that experience with Tri Valley Automotive. Also, the work has always been done the same day- even when I needed an oil change and new breaks. I've had other shops that are so slow and you're there forever, not with Tri-Valley Automotive. Don is scheduled to retire (much deserved) later this spring and in discussing his transition and the shop, he's assured me that the work and honesty will continue. He's hand-picked the staff who work with him and they've worked together for years. They'll be taking over the business and it's good to know that not only do I feel comfotable continuing on because of their work ethic, but also that Don highly recommends them -- couldn't recommend them more highly. I wanted to add this comment for those who are looking for reliable and timely customer service, good communication, fantastic prices, and more importantly- people who actually care about you, your vehicle, and your safety. If you're considering a shop, this is the one for you. Don't waste time or money considering anything else! You'll be glad that you came here.

Dan is a great dude. I had my minimal and neglected Mazda 3…read moreserviced there. It is so convenient and such quality service that I decided to get everything else that is needed done as well.
