Gotta love dealerships…read more... They'll rip you a new one when it comes to repairs esp with European cars. I found Atech on Yelp and used their project feature to request a quote. It also sent requests out to a few other shops, tho that part is always random, and not all of them were even close to me. Anyhow, Alex the owner responded in minutes and gave the most reasonable quote to change my BMW front brakes using OEM pads. I dropped my car off in the morning (they were working on several European cars), and it was ready by early afternoon, just as promised. Alex was honest, transparent, explained things in layman's terms, and made me comfortable as a woman who doesn't know cars. Just a heads up, in case you want to get some work done while you wait, there isn't a waiting room...just several lawn chairs near the entrance. But hey, it helps keep their overhead low, and those savings get passed on to customers!

5 stars - A-Tech Auto Repair Honestly, if your car's acting…read moreup and you need someone who actually gives a damn--go straight to A-Tech. Owner Alex is the real deal. Doesn't matter if it's a weird noise, a dead battery, or some mystery check-engine light that's been haunting you for months--he'll dig in, explain everything in plain English, and fix it without upselling you junk. Last week my alternator quit mid-commute. I rolled in stressed, no appointment, and Alex just said, "We got you," popped the hood, and had me back on the road same day. No drama, no fake urgency--just solid work and a fair price. If you want a shop that treats you like family (not a paycheck), this is it. Alex runs the place like he owns your car too. Highly recommend.

For ONLY $65 I have no complaints. Just make sure you got early in the morning on a weekday for faster service.

It's one of those ol' adage, "when it rains, it pours." I've had my Jeep for the last 13 years and…read morein that duration, it has been relatively trouble-free. However, in the last six months, I've had issues one after another, either to get it to pass smog test and some performance hiccups here and there. It is aging and as much as I could, I've always been on top with preventative maintenance and upkeep. Nonetheless, it's a mechanical and electronic object and things are bound to crop up over time. And that's what brings me to do an update with Ed. Whenever I feel something is "just off" with my Jeep, I place a call with him and he listens to give me advice. A couple times, he recommended I change something on my own to save money and I do, his advice was spot on. And other times, when I feel it's over my head, I bring it in and Ed will plot out how we go forward. Everything he's fixed has been spot on and the repairs stick! Ed has become my regular mechanic and I'm glad to have someone on my side and has my back. With all the time I spend in my Jeep, I almost feel like it's my second home and its well being is paramount to my lifestyle. This follow-up post is to ensure that my initial review wasn't just a one-off, but rather a strong relationship I've built with Ed, based on trust, reliability and honesty. Thank you Ed for all you do for me.

I've now been back a couple of times, and I've sent my wife here too, plus a couple friends. I also talked with a few other customers while I was waiting and they mentioned there's new ownership. That lines up with what I've experienced, and it sounds like a lot of the older negative reviews were from the previous operation. Today was the clincher for me. I came in expecting to buy new brake pads because I thought I heard squeaking, and I also needed an oil change. They checked it out and told me straight up: you don't even need brake pads right now. Save your money. That level of honesty is rare in auto shops. Fast service, straightforward, and no upsell. Highly recommend.

Beware of this place .. it's a scam.. they will rip you off…read more. 11/21/2025 I took my VW GTI to this garage to check on a coolant leak .. they told me a pressure check /diagnosis need to be done.. guy who manages the place said it will cost $100 . I okey and they lifted the car , did pressure check and did a diagnosis., I had to wait for a long time .. finally called me to the garage to show their findings & told me Oil cooler is faulty and I need to replace it , it will cost $1400 including labor + parts .. I was bit puzzled that moment and felt distrust about the way they were handling the situation..I told them let me think about it let them know . I paid $100 and left the place .. wasted more than 2.hrs .. next day on 11/22/2025, I went to a another garage in San Bruno , which I found 2-3 weeks back and decided to take my car there for the first time . (In fact the garage usually I go for last five years since 2020 wasn't able to do the repair immediately as their mechanic on vacation) So this new place mechanic said he will do a diagnosis/pressure test and called me the garage .. he told me nothing wrong with the oil cooler , it is the coolant reservoir which is over time has damaged and started leaking .. so I told him to replace the coolant tank and it cost only $300... now since that day my VW Gti coolant leak disappeared.. no more leak ... See this service center is a scam they want to take your money for unwanted repairs .. I went today 11/26/2025 to this service center and met with the manager or supervisor same person who did the diagnosis, told him your diagnosis was wrong . He wanted me to let him check the car , wanted to lift it .. I said no need to , refused it . I told him to check it under the hood , check the engine area , see whether there is a leak.. I told him he should refund me the $100 as it was their fault , if I believed them I could have spent $1400 and until now the leak was there. He refused to refund me and I left the place and said I will never come this way or recommend any one .. runaway from this place , never go there .. they will rip you off for no reason of your car ..
