Awesome, great service, great efficiency, and just overall good quality customer service. Would recommend to anybody. So far we've spoke and worked with gentlemen named Fahad, Jimmy and Gilbert. But it seems like their entire team is great! read more

Just called to get a quote to replace my oxygen sensor. The man said I needed to bring it in for them to look as it might be rusted...I know it's not rusted...so I asked if he could just quote me for it...he didn't even ask me what type of car price range..........how can you even say how much if you have no idea what type of car or age of the car....too bad I live around the corner and am looking for a good mechanic nearby to work on several cars. read more

Super pleased with my experience. I went midday so it wasn't too busy. It was in and out within 30 minutes. Price was as quoted. He did not try to convince me my air filter was dirty either. He did warn me it's getting dirty and it may need it next time. Pricing was not much more than my husband doing a synthetic oil change himself. Two thumbs up. read more

My wife has been taking our vehicles to Boulevard Auto for years. But after today, we will find another oil change business. Why - I know longer have faith in their business practices. Over the weekend, I noticed what appeared to be an out-of-place access panel that is dropped down when oil is changed in our 2010 Prius. I took the car to Boulevard and Fahad (the manager) said that it couldn't have been their fault as the car wouldn't have been able to clear their driveway where oil is changed the way the panel was situated. He said maybe we backed over something, and then the panel was installed improperly installed since our last oil change. As improbable as this sounded, I confirmed with my wife this did not happen. This oil access panel was improperly flipped forward and attached with 1 clip, instead of backwards and held with 3 clips. I told Fahad that we never had any work done on this car since our last oil change, but he was insistent that it wasn't their fault. I continued to persist, and they finally put the car on their lift, and one of their mechanics put the panel in the proper location and installed the missing clip to hold the panel up. I can only think they installed the panel in the wrong location for expediency during the last oil change - but who knows why they did this. I asked the mechanic if the panel had been installed improperly. He said yes it was. After receiving the keys to my car, I told Fahad what the mechanic told me. Fahad said he just talked to the mechanic, and he told me he didn't say it was improperly installed. I just left after that completely frustrated. I can't trust a business that won't accept the facts, and take responsibility for their actions, but instead blames the customer. read more

Took my car in for a 2nd major repair and again they didn't disappoint the alternator was dying and they took it in same day got the parts and got it fixed. Car runs better then ever. Thanks for being a great business that can be trusted! read more

Update: 06/12/18 - In response to owners comment. BAR case closed because Boulevard Auto refused to admit at fault and I was advised by investigator to proceed to settle in court. See you in court and the judge will decide. Update: 05/19/18 This post is in respond to Fahad's comments. First of all please do not twist the facts and fabricate the incident to make yourself the victim. When I first walked in to the shop calmly you were the first person I talked to. No other employees were around, so you did not help diffuse any situation. I calmly explained to you what had happen. Yes, I did took it to another shop for a service but only to find out that the previous mechanic had stripped the oil pan causing the oil leak. You guys were the last to perform the oil change prior to the leak. So, please tell me how can the mechanic had caused the leak when there was already a leak to begin with. I showed you the bolt with the stripped metal pieces still on it, yet you can still pushed the blame on someone else. You wanted to charge me more money to diagnose an issue to confirm if you caused the issue. It doesn't make any sense. Yes, I was upset but only when you gave me the run around saying that you will look at it then refused to when I came back to drop off the car. At this point, I realized that you have no intentions to correct the issue. Interestingly enough, I like to know what verbal threats I made, Fahad. I have no recollection, please share. To readers: I already expected a response like this from Fahad. This is how he response to all his customers that wrote a negative review. I can't speak for others, but he just confirmed that he will fabricate/ twist the facts just to cover their mistakes. Please read the negative reviews and not just all the good ones and decipher for yourself. I personally experienced it and do not wish anyone to go through the same aggravation and grief that I did with this business. I personally do not recommend this business to anyone and had share my experiences. So go at your own risk. ------------------- Worst expericence! Minus stars if possible. Brought my car here for oil changes at least for the past 3 times. They do not have the best prices but was in a convenient location. The last time I brought it in for an oil change, took the car home and notice drips of oil dripped on my driveway. It was very minor, a couple drips overnight or sometimes none. The car was due for another service today so I took it to another shop out of convenience because I was in the area. I mentioned the problem to the mechanic to see if he can find the issue. The mechanic found that the threading on the oil pan was stripped. He even showed me the bolt with the stripped metal on the thread. I took my car back to Boulevard Auto after requesting them to fix the issue. Fahad completely flat out denied all of the wrong doing or mistakes and put the blame on the last mechanic that worked on the car. First of all the problem existed prior of me taking the car in, and Boulevard Auto was the last ones that perform the oil change. It was pretty obvious who was at fault. It was very unprofessional of him push the fault on someone else rather than trying to resolve the issue. So, in order for them to look at the car to see if they were at fault I will need to sign a document saying something like this along the line " if diagnostic shows that cause of oil leak is not due to the oil pan stripped I will have to pay $110.00 and whatever it cost repair." This is ridiculous almost laughable. It was extortion. It was evident that the threads was stripped on the oil pan from the bolt. If I was to sign that document, I would be under his mercy to tell me regardless of what they tell me I will have to pay more money. I've lost complete trust on them working on the car again so there was no way I will be signing anything. This will not be the last of it. Also, the funny thing was Fahad's father happened to be around and jumped into the conversation and when things got turned around, he stepped in front of me and scolded " We refused your service!" " Get out." This was very unprofessional and borderline harassment. This is professional establishment, don't make it a family affair. After all I was only coming back to resolve this bad service you provided. After this incident, I ended reading all the bad reviews left here. I noticed all response from Fahad wrote was either pushing the blame back to the customer or denies any fault. No ownership or liability on any of their wrong doing. I do not recommend this shop to anyone. Come at your own risk. read more

They did a full tune up on my Chevy Tahoe, which included air filter, oil change, spark plugs etc. my SUV runs like the first day I bought it. I liked customer service I received and the price point. Plus I liked the fact there was wifi and coffee in the lobby! read more

Took my car with a few different issues, wasn't expecting but was quoted $3200. Was shocked but believed what they said and committed to the work. Took 3 weeks to get my car back and the bill jumped from $3200 to $3800. They said that's what they quoted in the first place.....lies!! Ok, what can you do, we paid. Brought our car back with a can of soda busted and splattered on the back seat, no mention of anything. Ok, we are patient people ...whatever. Noticed 3 of the 5 things still have not been fixed. What they fixed was a blown fuse and a motor mount. Took the car back, third day they call me and say we never fixed one of the things because you never mentioned it. I ask, "so that would be more"? They are like "Yes". Now I am pissed. They call back later and tell us they didn't find any issues. I know there still are unresolved issues. We now have the car back. Don't know what to do. Just feel cheated!! Never again will we ever go to these crooks. Shame on you "Boulevard Auto" (on Castro Valley Boulevard and Marshall St. by Rite Aid). We never do this kind of shaming a business specially in these times but Don't want anyone else to get ripped off like this. Stay safe, everyone! read more

First time going here sine they change owners from Speedy. Customer service was good, they did an oil change and transmission service very quickly. Prices were in line with most other places and they accept coupons as check in discounts. read more

Got my oil changed at this spot for the first time and they did a great job! Very very clean shop with a energetic and professional staff. Thank you Boulevard Auto! read more

Highly Recommended! Needed new Brakes & an Air Conditioning repair for an 03 Toyota Camry. Customer service was at a professional/friendly level, time wait was less than 3 hours, and the price was impressively lower than competitive! I've waited for almost 6 months to post - as I wanted to give the brakes and air system a good test/challenging period. read more

Good local shop. They took care of me quickly and have good feedback on my car. I didn't feel like I was getting hustled. Now I have a local mechanic. read more

The front desk guy with the glasses was super nice and friendly. We received great customer service and got everything done plus more. Will be coming back! read more

I went in for an oil change today. Fahad was really nice and very polite. It's a small place, but they are quick. Only took half an hour and they use good oil. Will be coming here again :) Waiting area is also nice as they have comfortable couches and a Keurig so their guests can have coffee while they wait. read more

Fast and great job! Needed an oil change quick ...went to my normal place but per usual in my life too busy! Found this place and could not be happier! read more

Just wanted everybody to know what great service I received today. They changed out my upper control arm on my Jeep, quickly and with no surprises or upsell. Highly recommend this establishment!! read more

I had heard great things about Boulevard Auto from a few references and I was skeptical about going to a mechanic aside from the dealer. I was so happy with the honest, affordable quote and will definitely be a returning with our 2nd car and using them for all of our auto needs. Thanks Boulevard Auto! read more

I came here to get my 2007 Toyota Prius' headlight bulb replaced. It had been on the fritz on and off for a while to the point I couldn't trust it enough to drive at night. I had previously taken it to a Toyota service site to address this problem and after holding my car for almost the entire day, the Toyota team couldn't find anything wrong with it and could only suggest cleaning inside of my headlight. When I took my car to Boulevard Auto and explained the situation, Fahad and his team checked my headlights and told me it was likely the headlight itself that was the problem and not the bulb itself. I don't really understand car stuff so they really took the time to go over what was going on with my headlight, multiple times (thanks guys). When the part had been ordered I brought my car in and it was fixed up in 1-2 hours. Fahad and his team are very nice, very patient, and very knowledgeable about what they do. I will definitely bring my car back for any servicing it needs. Thank you so much guys! I'm so excited to be able to drive at night again!!! read more

I have a Toyota vehicle, and used to go to the Toyota Dealer for oil changes until a recent bad experience at the dealership. Looking for a new place, I thought I'd give this place a try. They were courteous, professional, fast, thorough, and have normal prices. No upselling, no hassles, just good service and good people. This will definitely be my new go to for oil changes. read more

My go to for all my cars! Highly recommend this place if you need any type of maintenance for your car. I ask Fahad all my auto related questions and he is always there to help. Prices are extremely reasonable and the place is very clean. You can't go wrong coming here. read more

This has become my go to place in Castro Valley for fast oil changes. Very nice waiting area with nice A/C for hot days like today, free wifi, & coffee. Nice customer service. read more

I came here for a oil change and was very pleased with the way they treated my car and the speed in which my service was made. Fahad is a very polite and pleasant guy. I was 100% happy with my service and will return the next time I need maintanace. read more

Very nice shop and good people ! Make sure ya got time for them to repair ! No rush mean they fix it more perfect!

This place used to be SpeeDee, they've since changed ownership and the name to Boulevard Auto. The change is definitely for the better. They're really clean now and friendlier than the previous owners. If you're bored while you wait, just sit in their comfortable couch and connect to their free wifi or watch TV. They do oil change and fix cars but not smog check. Quickly service, friendly people, can't ask for more! read more

Went in for an oil change yesterday- was done in 20 minutes! Great friendly service and fair price. Nice waiting area. Will be back! Thank you! read more

Went in for an oil change and service is quick and friendly. Not to mention, facilities are very clean. Definitely coming back!

Wow! This was the quickest service I've ever had for my car. In & out in 15 mins for an oil change on my 2014 Honda. Thank you for great service. read more

Thanks to the team at Boulevard Auto, they had me in and out very quickly. Went in for an oil change; very first oil change on my Lexus I purchased used in May of this year, they also replaced a front blub I had out. Very friendly service and nice lobby area with a comfortable sofa to sit while they work on your vehicle. I have an older Honda Accord that I'm planning on bringing in for service soon. Thanks Boulevard Auto! read more

Working fast and best price ever. Better than some shops that usually set trap to ask more than you expected, highly recommend.

Good place to go for oil change service; Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They also do a lot of normal auto service; haven't used them yet for repairs, but I will definitely try them for my next repairs. Sounds like they know their work well. read more

These guys are great! They are honest, extremely helpful and knowledgeable on car matters. My husband and I have come here quite a few times and always have been satisfied costumers. When my friend was visiting from LA, she came here for an oil change. She was so pleased with her experience that she told me that she may have to plan her trips around her oil changes! read more

Fahad will lie about everything. Im sure karma will pay him back. Oil filter is great but a terrible install.

They took in my 2000 Dodge Ram van and found out where the noise was coming from. It was due to a previous mechanic not repairing the suspension properly. They fixed it quickly and even went above and beyond. They're very good people and they're now my preferred shop. read more

They stock the oil I use, and at a very good price. Fahad is very polite and professional. He has also helped me out when I was in need of some parts that I could not get anywhere else in a timely manner. I was surprised that he was willing to go out of his way to help me out, considering he is not a parts store. I usually do my own maintenance, but if the time comes to actually take it to a shop for service, I look forward to bringing my car to Fahad. I am confident that he and his team will do a fantastic job! read more

My first time here, which is, quick, efficient, professional and friendly... Specially Jimmy at the front desk, I hope I got he's name right lol, kind of forgot, but any who the really nice guy at the front desk, thank you! You made my weekend. read more

In Dec 2015 I had my brakes replaced on my Toyota Camry. Less than 700 miles later my wife heard a disturbing noise on the passenger side front wheel. After I looked at the car I took off the hub cab and 2 lug nuts fell off and the other 3 were loose on that wheel. Took the car back to Boulevard Auto and every lug nut was loose. All 20 lug nuts had to be tightened. I will never come back here. read more

I am so grateful for these guys! My car is unfortunately a bit of a lemon, so I've had to bring it pretty frequently since we moved to Castro Valley in January. This is the first time I've had an auto shop where the people who work there are consistently friendly, helpful and honest. I recommend them 100%. read more

Seems like a place that really cares about service and the employees actually act like they enjoy working on cars. Was greeted politely and they didn't try to upsell anything like most places. Got in and out quick read more

Called around for quotes on an oil change and found Boulevard on yelp. I have a 2011 Camry with synthetic oil and everywhere would charge me $80 minimum. I called Boulevard Auto and was quoted $65. I brought my car in and the service was great! Very friendly and welcoming and the place has been upgraded from the previous business that was here. Awesome service & very efficient on time! I'll be sure to continue bringing my car here for its service needs! Highly recommend! read more

I've been coming here since I can remember. They have good service, never too busy and there's a Rite-Aid right next to it which is nice to walk to to pass the time while they change my oil. The people are always nice, it's very reasonably priced, and my car is always happy, which matters the most to me so 5 stars! read more
