    I cannot thank this gentleman enough! Almost 7am... had already been told Toyota Service center would keep my car for more than 4 hours. And it would have cost me at least $225 without fixing anything. I drove to Bruce's and Tom helped me right away and fixed it. I was able to get back on the road and lost almost no time. Honestly super helpful with not issues. Thank u so much!!!

    I got there just as they were closing with a flat tire. They switch out my tire very fast for a good price.

It's was leaking transmission fluid, had a rattling noise and first gear lag. I was told it was the transmission but I wanted a second opinion. Marcos confirmed it was not my transmission and gave me a diagnostic. He is very detailed and honest when explaining diagnostic and providing a detailed quote. After Marcos fixed my car he showed me the new parts and old parts. He is very quick and responsive. Car drives smoother than ever. No more leak, no more rattling and no more acceleration issues. Thank you Marcos for all your help! Your costumer service is exceptional!

I wanted to make sure I followed up because I know my review will mean something for this business. I brought my classic Toyota Land Cruiser to Nayarit Transmission in East Oakland for a transmission fluid change. From the start, I felt at ease. Yes, there's a security dog on-site, but the way the owner treats him says everything!he's clearly part of the family, not just for show. As someone who loves dogs, I really respected that. The owner walked me through the whole process, explained why a higher-quality filter gasket was worth it (and he was right the one I had wasn't great), and even saved the old fluid to show the work was done right. He got the job done faster than I expected and at a more-than-fair price. This shop is built on honesty, hard work, and family values. In today's world, that's rare. I highly recommend Nayarit Transmission if you want quality work and someone you can truly trust with your car.

    Our experience with Gil and Transmatic Transmission started a little less than a year ago…read more We have a longtime owned 1997 4Runner that honestly has sentimental value. Mileage 250k+ ( We had just went through the 4Runner mechanically; water pump, timing belt, full tuneup, oil leaks, and intake / valve cover gaskets. When it came to the transmission. We noticed slipping after long rides and we were looking for options. Of course we went to Yelp as to see reviews because we knew transmission work is completed and can be very pricey... Honestly, shops were asking for more money than our 4Runner was worth. Gil was quick with replies and communication, greatly appreciated. Gils price was competitive and because of his reviews we chose to do business with Transmatic Transmission. Openly, I did not write a review until our 4Runner started making noises about 7-8 months after repair at TT. I reached out to Gil as he even gave us his cell phone number and still communication was on point and appreciated. He said "no worries, bring it back and I'll take a look." We towed it back, Gil received our 4Runner without us needing to be present. Gil then repaired our transmission, stood by his warranty and really took care of us without question. Understanding that in business, when you find someone that does what they say and stands behind their work at a competitive price you need to share your experience with the public. Gil from our family to yours, we appreciate your help! Our 4Runner has been back about a month, running like a champ and we are very happy with our service received from Gil and Transmatic Transmission! Rest assured Gil will do what's right in every situation and that is appreciated. Thank you Gil!

Ed,…read moreMario, and the rest of the team did an amazing job with all the services performed on my car: * Replacement of all 6 spark plugs, including the rear plugs that require additional access * Fuel induction service * Brake fluid exchange * Throttle body cleaning * Automatic transmission fluid service using Toyota World Standard fluid * Coolant drain and refill with the appropriate premium coolant The team did a fantastic job, and their prices were significantly lower than what Toyota quoted me for the same services. I'm so thankful I came across them on Yelp! I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for quality service at a reasonable price. I'll definitely be coming back for my next oil change and brake replacement. Thanks again to Ed, Mario, and the entire team for taking such great care of my car!

    This is my 100% true experience at Bay Motors Auto Repair. I brought my car in for a brake repair…read moreand ended up having to spend an additional $1700 to fix the faulty repair job from Bay Motors. I brought my vehicle to Bay Auto to change my brake pads, rotors and master cylinder. A day later, Ed the owner called me and said that my Automatic Braking System (ABS) module had also failed. Although it was not a problem before (no lights on the dash). I suspect Bay Motors did something to cause it to fail because I later learned that ABS modules rarely fail on their own. Anyway, Ed tells me the part is hard to get and it would take a few business days to get it. I didn't want to pick up my car with a compromised brake system so I agreed to proceed. When I went back the following week to pick up my car and proceed to pay, Ed then tells me the ABS light is on and that I would have to take it to Subaru to "reprogram" the new ABS module. He made it sound like it was no big deal and routine. I paid the bill and had to drive away with a nonfunctional ABS system which means the anti-lock brake system and traction control were no longer active. After conducting some research and bringing it to Subaru. I found the following: 1. The ABS module that Bay Motors installed was a used/recycled part that was purchased through Ebay Motors. See photo. 2. The ABS module Bay Motors installed was not even the correct module and hence could not communicate with my vehicle. (there are two models for my year/make/model - one with Subaru EyeSite safety feature and one without). Bay Motors installed the wrong one. 3. A properly installed ABS module, installed by a trained mechanic with proper tools and the right part would self-calibrate, not needing "programing". Bay Motors clearly didn't know what they were doing. To make matters worse, two days after getting my vehicle back, I was on the highway and my vehicle started shaking for no apparent reason. I pulled over to check my tires and discovered that one of the lug nuts on my back tire was MISSING. This was another very dangerous situation Bay Motors caused. I called Ed and he played it off as no big deal and asked me to bring in the vehicle the next day. I spoke with Ed after discovering he installed a used ABS module that did not work on my vehicle but he offered no solution or refund for the part. I would NOT recommend Bay Auto Body for any auto repair because of their dishonesty and lack of integrity.
