Unexpected car repairs are so stressful. I wasn't sure what to do, especially as I've only lived in the area for 2 years, so I turned to Google reviews and found this business. Also, found by recommendation from the Pleasanton Community Facebook group. Ryan provides great customer service, knowledge, and is very competitively priced. Also - I could not pick up the car for 4 days due to being out of state and Ryan had no problem (or cost) to hold my car until I was back in town. So very kind of him! I'm so glad to have found a reliable trustworthy mechanic for all my car needs! I hope I don't have to go back to him anytime soon! read more

Excellent customer service from start to end. I brought my car in to get serviced and was greeted with a smile by Ryan. I had my car back in no time running better than what I brought it in before. I give Auron two thumbs up and highly recommend them for any service that your car may need. read more

I've been taking my Toyota to Ryan for the past three years, and recommend him highly! He is incredibly knowledgeable, meticulous, and takes the time to explain everything in detail so I always understand whats going on with my car. Ryan is honest about what needs to be done, never pushing unnecessary repairs, and his pricing is always fair. read more

I had another great repair experience at Autotron. Fast, expert service for an urgent repair at a reasonable price. What else could ask for? I've been going there for years and wouldn't trust my car to any other repair shop. read more

Absolutely love this place and cannot recommend more! My whole family has been going here for years for all of our cars.

My truck needed many things, A.C. Fixed, sway bar bushings, alignment, brakes, belts replaced, oil change, headlight short fixed. This is my work truck, so time was of the essence. I spoke with Ryan and my experience was awesome, it felt like I picked up a brand new truck. Thank you Ryan! read more

Excellent customer service, Ryan took his time to explain things to me as well as suggestions on the next visit . This company is not out to get your money more so to show you they are trustworthy, want You as their customer and build a friendship. This will be my new auto service company and will spread the word out to all family members and friends ... thank you Ryan read more

I wanted my car to be checked out before I give it to my daughter who would take it far away, to her school. My car is 15 years old and has over 140000 miles on it. I did not want it to break down on my daughter. Ryan provided a quick and very reasonable diagnosis of the things that had to be done. No extra stuff, just what was needed. In addition, he also provided his contact in case something does happen to the car and offered to refer to the right places at the location of my daughter's school. :-) read more

Great experience for my Subaru Forester repair. If you're looking for a trustworthy and fair place to get work done correctly, look no further. There are not many folks that work on older subarus around here, I'm glad I found Autotron. They are true problem solvers, explained they're findings to me clearly and concisely. Would recommend to anyone in the east bay looking for Subaru work. read more

It's a harrowing experience when your car is stolen. In my case, it was found two weeks later in Oakland, with the engine jacked up and a few meth pipes in the cabin. My wife and I got the car detailed, and I went with the recommendation of a friend of mine, a classic car buff, to fix the vehicle. The transmission had to be overhauled and the engine had been overheating from a slow coolant leak. My wife and I found that Ryan not only returned the car to good condition, but he also handled the insurance details gracefully. We have since gone to AutoTron for all our car needs. Ryan, the owner, is frank and honest has done good work on three of our cars now. We've since moved (the original car had been stolen from our parking lot!), but we've continued on with AutoTron. I have no reason to go elsewhere! read more

Autotron saved my daughter and I $850 in my first trip to their shop. So glad to finally find our local shop for our car care! The dealer insisted I needed to spend $1200 for a new water pump and belt. I wanted to find a better place for our car care and scheduled time with Ryan to have a look. Not only was their work going to be $400 less than the dealer, they called early in the morning after looking at my car to say "if this was our car, we wouldn't spend the $850 to replace the pump. It doesn't need it yet". What a relief to find such a honorable team and shop. Thank you. read more

AUTOTRON is the best car repair shop one could wish for. Great service as well as updates as the service was being done. You will not be left in the dark. It is an upfront business. If you have questions you will receive HONEST answers not a shocking bill when your car is ready to take it home. I highly recommend AUTOTRON to anyone needing auto repair.

I have been bringing my families cars here for years I trust Ryan like a family member his repairs are solid him and his team is very technical they seen all the issues over the years on different cars I've never had a bad repair. He is very honest and works with you and the charges are very reasonable. read more

I have taken my daughter's car here several times. These guys do a great job at a fair price and have great customer service. Finding an honest repair place is hard. Autotron exceeded all of my expectations. Highly recommend this place. read more

Our Ford Explorer had to be towed to Autotron Service Center because of an issue with rodents eating the wires in the wiring harness, and in several other places in the vehicle (all while parked in our driveway). Ryan was so helpful, professional, and patient, dealing with our insurance and finding all the areas that needed fixing on our car. There was so much work to do and Ryan and his team handled it all without any issues and keeping us informed all along the way. Autotron has serviced this same car for regular maintenance in the past and I can highly recommend them for any type of auto service that you might need. read more

I've been taking my cars to Autotron ever since it opened decades ago. Ryan is the second owner, has been for a long time. I keep coming back to him because he's knowledgeable, fair and responsive. I've had all kinds of car in his care, from full size van to sports car and sedan and SUV in between. An example, my wife had been taking her new car to the dealer for service for warrantee reasons. Some time after the warranty expired, the dealer recommended some service that was estimated at $2,250. I thought that's it, time to go to Ryan. First he said If I were to do it, it would be $400 less, but on the other hand, you don't need it. It's been several years since then and he still hasn't brought up the need to work on that issue. He tells like it is. I highly recommend taking any kind of vehicle to him for service. read more

Ryan and his team are amazing! After experiencing intermittent issues with my Nissan - I took my vehicle in - and in less than a day his team had worked out what the problem was and provided me with clear steps on how it needed to be resolved. I arrived at his location and let him know that since my vehicle needed diagnostics - I needed a ride home. Without missing a beat - he got a shuttle ready for me and took me back home! You can really tell that Ryan puts his heart into this place - another customer was in the waiting area - and she kept reassuring me and singing praises of this shop. I cannot express how refreshing and wonderful it has been working with such an honest repair shop - I have found my Go-To mechanics! read more

These people sound like a broken record! Trying to rationalize their exorbitant repair costs over and over and over! Not all of us will tolerate being taken advantage of!! I suggest you be honest, especially in these tough times and especially to women! Stick to what you know and stop guessing as to what "might" be wrong at our expense! Can you not read a diagnostic report??? And for gods sake..stop calling me Ma'am!! read more

I moved from Texas to Pleasanton last week, and right away needed some work done on my '06 Frontier. I found Autotron via Yelp and paid them a visit. Ryan fit me into his busy schedule on a Friday. He clearly explained what was going to be done with my truck, and had fair pricing. He spent some time talking to me and it seems that he is a straight shooter who will get the job done correctly and efficiently. I hope to have found a quality auto shop, and will certainly be back again, and provide a follow up on this review read more

I received the most fantastic treatment from Autotron yesterday. My driver seatback, which has a motor to change the forward-back, up-down position, got stuck. It would go forward but not back to the desired distance from the steering wheel. After trying 3 times to get it to move, I was forced to squeeze in between the steering wheel and seatback, hoping I didn't get rear-ended on the way home to cause the airbag to deploy. After calling several auto repair shops, I found Autotron in the Yellow Pages. Jennifer assured me she'd take me to work while they worked on my car, would pick me up afterward and take me home if they had to keep the car overnight, and would even pick me up the next day to take me back to work again! They tried a few times to release the driver seat position while I was there to no avail but would work on it that day. At 5pm they called me at work to arrange to pick me up, telling me they couldn't find a thing wrong and that the car seemed to have fixed itself. I still expected to pay the $225 diagnostic fee she'd quoted me earlier. Even though she, Colleen and another mechanic all tried during the day to get it to work, she assured me they couldn't charge me ANYTHING as they hadn't really done a thing to the car! Plus, their invoice referred to me as "guest," rather than customer, demonstrating even further the level of respect they have in their business practices. Since they refused to charge me for their time, the only way I can repay them is by giving this glowing review. I'll definitely be using them in the future! read more

I had a great first experience with Autotron Service Center. I had a last minute issue and am new to the area. They were patient, listened to my issue, and got me in, out, and back to work before a meeting. I was super grateful and hope to take my business here int he future read more

Ryan and his crew have consistently provided good and effective solutions to the sometimes challenging auto repair issues of both I and my sons cars. Highly recommended! read more

It doesn't get better than this! We are from Berkeley and looking at a used car in the Livermore area when our mechanic referred us to Ryan for a pre-purchase exam. He was immediately helpful and flexible in scheduling, extremely professional and thorough. Ryan and Nick were patient with our questions and very efficient. I can't way enough good things about this shop. The waiting area is comfortable, clean and has new magazines...wow! If I lived in this part of the Bay Area, this would be our place. Thanks, Ryan! read more

Ryan and his crew are awesome. They've worked on my car for 6 years now, and I trust Ryan to tell it how it is. There's nothing as important and useful as an honest mechanic, and I've never been led astray here. read more

Reliable, trustworthy, A+ courtesy. I was even given a ride to my local place of employment. I will always have my car serviced here and will tell others about this great establishment. read more

Had a great experience here years ago when I had a Chevy but then years later I brought them my new car to explore a weird noise. They had my car for three days, ran through a quarter tank of gas, and left my car filthy. They were nice enough not to charge me over $100 for doing all of this. I took the car to fremont and had it fixed in 15 minutes for a simple repair. I will never go back here because of this horrible experience. read more

Above and beyond customer service! Broke down in the area on a rainy evening and they were one of the few shops still open and had great Yelp reviews. Called 15 minutes before closing, got the car there, and the owner took care of me - even postponed his commute home so I could have somewhere warm and dry to wait for my ride! Very friendly, efficient, and car is running great! read more

Autotron did a great job o fixing my car. We had an unexpected repair, but their team kept us updated every step of the way. Ryan drove to Roseville to pick up a part for us, rather than waiting for it to be delivered the next day. We appreciate him going the extra mile. He didn't charge us the full amount because he knew the bill was unexpected. They are courteous, fast and fair. read more

Great job. They not only solved a problem that another mechanic could not but also brought me to work and picked me up again when the car was done. Very happy with the service. read more

I feel like my car is in good hands when I bring it to service at Autotron. The folks there don't try to milk their customers and only fix what needs attention. Other service centers would tell me that my alignment is off and needs to be fixed, or that my car needed a fuel system cleanse - none of these bogus tactics are tried at Autotron, which I really appreciate. For the last couple of years Autotron has really taken good care of my cars - everything has been working as it should. read more

Honest, reliable, reasonable! This is a terrific auto repair, service facility. The owner, Ryan, is always helpful. What more can you ask for in auto repair. read more

This place was wonderful, they did a FREE pre-purchase inspection!! They were super helpful and kind, I'm very grateful :).

If there were 6 stars, I'd give 'em. Thanks to Ryan for his honest advice over the years. This is a safe, reliable place for women to take their vehicle for diagnosis and repair. Fees are more than fair and I'm always told to come back if not completely satisfied.( I've yet to have to go back). I would recommend Autotron to any friend or family member. read more

Saved almost 40% vs. the dealership quote. 90k mile service was completed the same day. Ryan and staff are very friendly. It's a pleasure to support local business. read more

The Autotron is a great place for your car. They made it so easy for me since I come from a far distance and they were kind enough to shuttle me to work. They were really accommodating and willing to answer questions and have reasonable deals for their services. I would highly recommend going there for your car services. read more

We took a new-to-us truck to Autotron to have it looked over before we let our teenage son drive it. Ryan explained fully the one problem he found and recommended a path forward. He was very communicative while he was waiting for the necessary part to arrive and was still able to adhere to our desired timeline. We will definitely take the truck back for future service when needed and would highly recommend Autotron to others. read more

These guys are fantastic. They have been our family mechanics for years, and Ryan and his team have been extremely helpful, professional, and flexible every time. More than being great mechanics, they're folks that myself and my mom really trust with our vehicles. read more

Had a god experience when I had to repair my minivan. It had a 'Service Engine Soon' indicator coming. Followed the directions on the car manual and did not help. When I took it to Autotron, I was guided on what their process was. Later when the van was repaired. they gladly accepted the yelp voucher that I had. I was given the printout on how they repaired. I am happy on their service and will gladly refer Autotron to my friends. read more

Great place to go to get your car worked on. I've been going to Autrotron for years. I always get highly professional service. This past time, I had to have a damaged seat belt replaced. They fix everything! read more
