I can't recommend Avis Auto Repair on Mission Boulevard in Hayward enough! I brought my car in to get the back brakes and rotors replaced, and they did an amazing job -- all in just one overnight stay. When I picked up my car, it felt like it was floating down the road -- smooth, solid, and just perfect. The price was very reasonable, especially for the quality of work and speed of service. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Avis, the owner -- he's professional, friendly, and genuinely cares about his customers. It's clear he runs a shop that prides itself on excellence and trust. From now on, all my vehicles are coming here, and anyone looking for honest, fast, and skilled auto repair should do the same. Thanks again, Avis, for an outstanding job! read more

Great shop! Quality service from the shop ownerAvin is a great guy! keep it up and I will definitely refer you to my family and friends.

Quality service at a decent pI've used Avis Auto Repair twice now, and both times I've been very happy with the experience. They offer quality service at a fair price, which can be hard to find these days. The staff is honest, efficient, and professional, and they take the time to explain what's going on with your vehicle without trying to upsell unnecessary work. It's clear they care about their customers and stand behind their work. I'll definitely continue to bring my car here and recommend them to others looking for a reliable and trustworthy repair shop.rice. read more

I came to this place after going to 2 different mechanics who quoted me over $1k to replace my AC compressor. He could've done the same and made a huge profit but instead he found the leak, sealed it, and saved me several hundreds of dollars. I was able to stand next to him as he was working on my car. He's not scared. He explained everything he noticed and walked me through exactly what he was doing. Stuff you only hear about from people who take their BMW in to the million dollar mechanic so I thought that was a huge plus. Very cool and fun experience. The mechanic & owner of this shop is super cool. You can tell when you talk to him that he's an honest hard working man. Mechanics nowadays just want to replace & not fix. Many of them don't know how to fix or just want to take on expensive jobs. He takes pride in being able to figure something out because it's easy for him. He's an excellent mechanic and would definitely be an engineer in another life. I have lots of respect for this shop and will definitely be coming back here for all my maintenance and repairs in the future along with all my family!! I really appreciate the work done. read more

Avis is the man! He fixed my transmission leak and pan gasket leak on my tacoma. I definitely recommend going here. He's very knowledgeable and prices are fair. Forever customer! read more

I had my vehicle work here for a transmission replacement. It was just sitting for a while. A couple of weeks maybe. My car then got towed at his shop and i had to pay for the towing expenses. Cost me about 600 because of the weekend. It took him a while to get the transmission replacement done and i still had to pay him for the labor. He gave me a discount but overall, i spent thousands of dollars and wasn't able to get reimburse for my expense for the towing. It was under his supervision and yet he didn't manage to take care of a loyal customer. read more

Came here to get smog check because my smog was due. Came here and just asked if I could get smog and he set me up real quick. Took about 20 mins overall. Some guy from a dealership tried to interrupt and put himself ahead of everyone else, but Avis was very professional and repeatedly told the dealer that he has a order of customers that he is following. Had a pleasant conversation with Avis and would definitely recommend. Will be coming again! read more

The best place for Smog & other car work. Owner is very nice and humble person. I only visit this place for smog, oil change and car repairs. Highly recommended read more

Avis is the best. I've been coming to him for maybe 2 to 3 years and prior to that I was going to the previous owner of the shop. Despite the change in ownership, the service has remain top-notch...in fact the current owner knew the previous owners (older husband & wife team) so that was reassuring. Labor prices are totally reasonable, I never feel ripped off - especially bringing my cars to him as a woman & by myself. He's totally accommodating, friendly and based on my interactions is a trust worthy mechanic. Any woman looking to take their car to an auto shop, without fear of being totally swindled, come to this place I guarantee you'll be satisfied. read more

Good service Friendly people We are happy customers........................... I will update if we have any issues with the repairs done read more

My 2010 Honda Odyssey needed a Star certified smog check. Went in, took only a few minutes while I could just sat in my car and wait. The gentleman, Avis, was very polite and kind. He surprised me about how he remembered me from my last service a few years ago!! Highly recommend it! It is an honest place where it says "$40 smog check" on a big sign!! read more

I came into Avin's shop with my 2005 Mercedes, check engine light was on which prevented me to pass smog. Avin was recommended to me for diagnostics. Talking to Avin, he is knowledgeable and easy to work with. I felt very comfortable with leaving my car with him. Avin calls me the next day and informs me of what maintenance was needed (engine misfire - spark plugs were corroded and ignition coils showed damage from moisture) and gave me a quote. I gave him the green light to proceed. I was able to pick up my car the next day. With smog issues, we reset the system and needed to finish a drive cycle. As I drove the car, I knew I finished a cycle because the engine light came back on. As I had Avin look at the car again. No more misfire code so, we are making good progress! Avin deduced a couple more components to check and found that my engine coolant temp sensor needed replacement. Again with the quick turnaround, picked up my car the next day and drove another full tank of gas. No check engine, brought it back to Avin and I was so happy to finally pass smog! I've previously taken my car to a mechanic in Hayward I've visited frequently past 2 years and he saw my misfire code and quickly referred me to the dealer. It was very unsettling to hear that. I would have spent 3-4x as much as what Avin charged me. I am super happy to have been recommended to Avis Auto Repair! Avin gave me reasonable pricing and can't stress enough how knowledgeable he was. I am definitely coming back for my future maintenance. read more

Came here because I've heard some good news regarding this place. I've been spending a fortune on my maintenance at the dealership for the last 4 years since I bought my car brand new, but at this point I definitely needed to look into some options. Went here to do my oil change, tire rotation and my break fluid service. Avin was absolutely a pleasure to work with. He is straight forward and genuinely honest about his work. You get to see him work with his team so you know there's no funny business going on. The price was very reasonable and for the work he does; I can definitely recommend this place to anyone close to this area. read more

I have been going to Avis for all my car needs long before Avin (owner/mechanic) took over the business from Azahu Auto Repair. Avin is honest and a straight shooter kind of guy who will tell you if the car part needs to be repaired or replaced or still good and be left alone. I brought to him my 2000 Accord V6 which I knew that the catalytic converter was stolen (park on the street and sounded loud /noisy when I started it one morning). I told Avin to order me the catalytic converter so I can have it changed. I left the car in his shop early morning and after lunch, Avin gives me a call with the good news that the part was still there and that the thieves only cut off a part of the exhaust pipe but never proceeded to steal it. He sends back the new catalytic converter which he showed me which could have cost me a lot of money. and only charged me for the labor in welding it all back. read more

Came here and was quoted a oil change for $70 and when I arrived he said he doesn't remember talking to anyone about that, I came in maybe 5 minutes after the call and now he said he can't do my oil change, not a professional place at all, I don't recommend it read more

The original quote (included more jobs) was CHANGED and was INCREASED by atleast $300! The amount of work and number parts used were LESS than that in the original estimate. Owner said original estimate was MISCALCULATED. I was also shorted in engine Oil. Owner said we put oil based on manufacturer specifications. But oil dipstick indicated otherwise. I was told to to buy oil myself and fill it. Will never take my car there again. Feel like I was cheated big time. read more

I've worked with Avi's Auto Repair for years for all my cars. He is very honest, fair and professional. He does quality work! All my kids have their cars repaired by Avi. Probably over fifty jobs! read more

I absolute love Azahu Auto Repair. It's weird to say that about an auto shop, but the husband and wife duo that run this quaint shop are both just so kind and sweet. The price for smog can't be beat! $40 with certificate. Check 'em out. You will not be disappointed! read more

I came in to have my car battery replaced and installed. It was done much faster than what they said it would take. Very nice and professional place. (It's across the street from the church) read more

Oh my god Avin is a life saver. He fixed my ac, it turned out I needed a new ac condenser (I think that's what it's called) I took it to wheel works on Jackson and they had the nerve to tell me I need a new compressor and my car is only 5 years old. Anywho Avin saved the day and was very honest and trust worthy. Not trying to get over on people. I had also suffered from back pain and heat stroke and he was very understanding and kept my car until I could get it. He has a loyal customer now for life and I will refer all my friends and family! read more

I have been a loyal customer of this repair shop for as long as I can remember. My entire family brings their car here for all repair/maintenance needs, everything from an oil change, to a tune up and even a transmission replacement, we have been through it all! We always receive top-notch service, and have never had any issues with any repairs done here. Their prices are extremely fair compared to most mechanics, but what keeps us coming back is truly the customer service. The owners are an older couple, and everytime we see them they call us "their children" and treat us as such. I am sad to hear that they are (deservingly) retiring in the next few months, but the shop will be passed on to an associate who has been working with them for quite some time. I highly recommend for any car needs you may have! read more

I have an old truck that had to go to a smog only station, which it failed. So I went to this place to see if they could figure it out. I could tell right away this is an honest guy trying to do the right thing . He found one of the problems , fixed it very reasonably and I needed new catalytic converters. He put them on quick, did a good good and didn't over charge me. It's nice to leave a shop and feel good about the experience.He's right on the corner of mission and Jefferson st. Give him a try. read more

My bro in law referred me to this shop, and is my main go-to place for all my smog/muffler/catalytic converter needs. I walked up and was greeted by the owner told me the SMOG would cost me $50 with certificate I felt the price was fair and was happy to move on, he did a reading before because of the "Service Engine Soon" light was on and found that I had a leak in the catalytic converter and needed to be replaced. I was in complete shock when he gave me the estimate for the total work, he charged me under $300 which was half the price another shop had quoted me and got the job done in less than an hour. This hubby and wifey duo are honest, and awesome at what they do A+ customer service. I will send all my family and friends to "Azahu Auto", where you leave not feeling raped like other shops I've used in the past. read more

My husband & I have been coming to this shop for over 6yrs now and the relationship keeps getting better by each visit. The place is owned by a husband & wife....but it's really the wife that runs it, she's the boss :) We have had to come in for several things between my car and hubby's car and we have never had any issues, ever! The work is great, price is great and the service is over the top!!!! read more

I first met the couple that runs this shop at the grocery store. I helped put something in the basket for them, and at that time they told me that if I needed any automotive repairs to consider their shop. Well, on Saturday I was running around doing some errands and thought that I would stop in to see if they could do a smog check for me. They did and I passed and 30 minutes later I was on my way. I truly love this shop and have used it more than once. Just good honest work. read more

I was so excited that we had just found a reliable auto repair shop! Yeah - if they ever got a second to see our car! I had called on a Weds to make an appt with them for Saturday. I was told by the "wife' that no appt was needed and to come in at 1 pm. Sure enough I went in right at 1pm and was told I couldn't be seen! She said "you should have come earlier" --she TOLD me to come in at 1pm originally! Now she tells me to come in on Tuesday! Anyway, we thought, no problem we'll come back on Tuesday (we really needed to get our car looked at on Saturday since we are busy M-F). This time on Tuesday we called at 8.30 am to see what time was good. They told us to come in by 9.30am. We arrived at 9.30 and we're told that they're busy so come back at 11 am. SO as frustrating as that was, we drove back home and called back at 11 am, they told us they're busy so come at 2 pm. WHAT THE HECK!!!! These people must not want our business!!! They were highly recommended by a friend and it seems some yelpers like them, but seriously!! They need to get their business together. I will not go back nor will I recommend them to any one else!!!! read more
