I've come to this auto shop for several years now & Bob the owner always take care of all my car services. His pricing are all fair and no questions asked. I come here to get my oil change for my Honda CR-V 2014 & Toyota Scion TC 2014 and he charges only $20 if you bring your own oil & filter. If you didn't bring your own supplies then don't worry about it they have it for you and it'll be about $40-60 depending on your car make, model & mileage.

Its Hard to find an Honest Smog Shop and this is one of them . I got the Dreaded Smog Check required on my Work Whip White Rabbit . So I designated a day to go get it . Then I saw a Coupon for a Competitor for a Smog Check for $29,95 plus the Certificate . So I rolled there where they said that price wasn't for my Vehicle and they wanted $48 more to Smog my Vehicle . I looked at the Guy and Laughed in his face and told him nice try . See Ya wouldn't want to be you and left that crook in a cloud of Dust and rolled out . I went to my old stand by Smog Shop and talked to Bob . Bob was straight forward a quoted me a price of $58.20 this was the out the door price for the Smog Check, Evap -Check and Smog Certificate Bob explained the Smog Certification Procedure required for my Year Vehicle . I told Bob what happened at the other Smog shop and he actually knew about the other shop having integrity issues. San Leandro is a Small Town word gets around. Bob had me in and out in 25 Minutes . Service with a smile . I highly Recommend Bob for your Smog Needs.

10/04. Current situation right now.

Whenever repairs are needed by my friends, I send them to Bob and his team. They are honest, reasonable and knowledgeable.

I had one of the best customer service experiences I've had in a long time at Doral Auto Repair…read more Before even coming in, John was incredibly helpful over the phone. After I told him my make and model, he suggested I pick up a replacement headlight bulb just in case and told me to come in anytime--no appointment needed. When I arrived, he immediately came out, had me open the hood, and took a look on the spot. Within less than 3 minutes, he had the new bulb installed and working perfectly. What really stood out was what happened next--I asked how much I owed him, and he told me there was no charge. That level of honesty and kindness is rare these days. John didn't try to upsell me, didn't waste my time, and didn't treat a small job like it wasn't worth his attention. He handled it with professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care. Because of that, Doral Auto Repair has earned my trust. The next time I need any work done on my car, this is exactly where I'm going. Highly recommend.

Rating: (1 Star) I…read moreused Yelp's "Get a Quote" feature expecting a straightforward price estimate. Instead of receiving a quote, I got what appeared to be an automated response telling me to "come in." The message looked scripted and didn't address the request for pricing at all. After I replied again asking for the quote Yelp indicates businesses will provide, the same scripted response was essentially copied and pasted back to me. Only after pushing further did I receive what seemed like a more direct reply stating that their insurance does not allow customer-supplied parts due to liability concerns, followed by a note that they offer a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty. That explanation would have been fine if it had been stated clearly from the beginning, instead of sending automated responses that avoided the actual request. Consumer Education: When repair shops purchase parts, they typically buy them at wholesale cost and then apply their own markup in addition to the shop's labor rate. There's nothing inherently wrong with making a profit--every business should. However, when customers ask for a quote while supplying their own parts, it can reduce that margin. Based on more than 20 years in automotive retail management and sales, my personal conclusion is that some shops simply prefer not to quote jobs where their parts markup isn't included. The bigger issue here is the Yelp listing itself. Yelp allows customers to input the vehicle, describe the work needed, and press "Get a Quote." If a shop isn't willing to provide quotes--or only wants customers to come in--then that option probably shouldn't appear on their listing, because it creates a misleading expectation for consumers trying to comparison shop first.

Worse experience ever. I have been going here for at least 6 years. Once with my Buick and now with…read moremy BMW. I went to get a $110 oil change, simple right? No. Technician Samuel, replaced the filter and in the process broke my coolant hose. They then told me that Kevin(owner) would need to come and replace the hose. They had me wait and hour and a half for Kevin to arrive. As I was waiting, tech(Omar) told me this is common and happens all the time. This has never happened on my car so that did not make the situation better. I had to ask Omar multiple times when will the owner plan on getting here with no updates. Upon Kevin arriving, I ask him, "if this is so common, why don't you all have hoses on hand?." He immediately gives me attitude and tells me that "you people always harass." I say "you people?" with a look of confusion and he immediately asks as if I am bothering him because I ask him why does a customer have to wait an hour and a half for an issue they cause. In the end. He placed the hose but my coolant light is now on. Not only am I filing a claim with the Better Business Bureau but i suggest that you DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. WORSE SERVICE EVER.
