    4 hours of labor for the rear bumper when i came for a FENDER and DOOR, rear bumper isn't damaged in any way!

    For being in the cheap side of town with a cheap looking shop they sure as heck charge premium dealership prices and are twice as crooked as dealership mechanics, i went in for a door and fender fix and they took their time to put 4 hours of labor for the rear bumper 2 hours of labor for the quarter panel (it had no damage) oh and he wanted $1900 to fix the door when a used one cost $700, he was constantly changing the price, making it seem like i was saving money then raising the price when i got into the office after trying to dodge my questions, oh and SANDY GARCIA laughing while writing my estimate didn't help either thinking that i wouldn't notice that big of a scam! STAY AWAY unless you hate money then WELCOME!

    Hector and his team did a phenomenal job. Not only were they affordable and willing to be flexible, my car also looks great (including the complimentary detail!). Hector had some of the best customer service I've experienced in Salinas and I would gladly go back to him for any and all car repairs. I was provided options depending on my budget, and Hector was fully understanding of the work I needed done and was happy to walk my through it, I would highly recommend them.

    Finished and installed

    I am so very happy with the workmanship and glad I found Hector and his crew! About 4 years ago I was in a windstorm and opened my driver side door when the extreme wind flew the door open and bent the hinges. I had been looking to have this fixed but only got responses like "I need to take the door off and charge $100+ per hour and don't know how long it will take". In the meantime I taped the door close because the wind noise was unbearable and made the whole door vibrate. Hector had one look, gave me a reasonable price range. I just drove for miles on the highway and the wind noise is gone. Its like I have a new van!!! I also had the propane tank painted, see pictures they speak for themselves. Very thorough job! The third thing they did for me was to take the ugly broken plastic bumper off to reveal a beautiful chrome bumper underneath it (they did not install it, it was already there) Having a 19 years old camper van, I know I will be back! Thank you so much Hector and crew! Gertrud Robinson

    I've been looking for a repair shop for sometime and found this shop on yelp. The repair I had done was something I thought I could do my self, ( I'll just pull the bumper off and throw some paint on it) I was wrong. I also thought, I can have one of these businesses on social media do it for cheap. I am so satisfied with my decision to have my bumper repainted at Car Tech Auto. The bumper was taken off, completely stripped, refurbished, primed and painted with no flaws. My car was detailed and ready for pickup ahead of schedule. Not to mention great customer service and a life time warranty on the paint. Thank you for the amazing service.

    I definitely recommend this place they left my truck looking like new 10/10 here's a after picture of the work they did.

    My car had an auto body issue to the front fender while we were away from our home location and were visiting Salinas. We were on a tight timeline and had a flight to catch. Hector was thoroughly professional and ensured he would make it happen within a week provided all the parts made it in time. Hector was very professional, communicative, and reassuring through the whole process. Hector and his staff went out of their way to keep things on schedule and get the necessary parts on time. They also offered to drop and pick me up from my location which was a great personal touch! We were down to the last few hours of Friday and Hector and the staff worked over lunch to make it happen in time and my car was perfect and was detailed in time! Even offered an update next time I was in town. Massive kudos to the entire staff at Auto tech collision. They really turned a stressful situation into delight and customer happiness! If you are looking for an honest, reliable, and quality craftsmanship look no further and take your car to Hector and his team! Wish them the best as they look to open another location in Monterey!

    AMAZING!! I can't say enough positive things about Car Tech Auto. Hector and his crew at Car Tech are the not only the best at their work but also wonderful customer service. I found their shop on Yelp after looking everywhere for someone to fix my 2015 Chevy Tahoe's broken A/C unit. I was about to give up on fixing it after multiple other shops wanted at least $1100 for the work. But having 3 little ones who def need A/C on hot days I decided to do more research. After seeing their 5 star reviews on Yelp I called Auto Tech and was given an estimate of half of what others wanted. He told me the min and max cost it would be to fix and explained the entire process of fixing my A/C. I immediately scheduled an appt. I brought in my Tahoe yesterday and was shocked how perfect they returned my vehicle. Not only did they fix and perfect my A/C but they also washed the exterior but also vacuumed/detailed the interior. It looked brand new! Hector showed me the pics of the entire process they did and had info on everything they replaced/fixed. I am so grateful to them for fixing my vehicle and giving it back better than ever.

    Paint matched perfectly.

    This is hands down the only place you need to be taking your car to get any kind of body work or paint done. I had my front and rear bumpers painted to the OEM color and it came out flawless. If I have any other projects for my car in the future this will always be the place I go.

    Hands-down the most amazing detailing job ever!…read more First of all, Jerry is a very friendly, honest, patient, and accommodating guy who goes above and beyond any expectations. After numerous conversations with him regarding the best approach to detail my vehicle, we agreed to let him use his products to achieve the resistance to water spots and dust for easier future maintenance. He also applied my carbon spray as a finishing coat (twice!) with no issues. He really put in a day's worth of work to make my vehicle look like I just bought it -- it went from a grimy film, so common in the Peninsula given all the trees, pollen, birds, and dust, to a satin-smooth finish that not only looked jaw-droppingly attractive but also proved to bead water and slide right off when he did a water test afterwards. A simple wipe-down is all it will need for quite a while! He made the interior completely dust-free and made sure the windows didn't recapture streaks when being rolled down and back up. On top of all this, the price was very reasonable. If you want your vehicle detailed to its full potential and treated with respect and care by an owner with integrity and meticulous attention to detail, Jerry's Bubbles is my very enthusiastic recommendation! Great vibes all around! Thank you so much Jerry! Consider me a new on-going client!

    I wanted to share my experience about the excellent service I received. Early in the morning,…read morearound 5 a.m., I went on Yelp looking for a mobile detailer. To my surprise, Jerry responded within five minutes. After answering a few quick questions, my appointment was set for Saturday. Jerry was incredibly friendly and clearly explained what he would be doing and how long the service would take. I don't think he realized just how much dog hair was in my car, so the job took a couple more hours than he expected -- but the results were absolutely worth it. My car looks brand new. His attention to detail, especially on the little things, was truly impressive. One thing to keep in mind when booking: Jerry will ask a couple of questions so he can quote an accurate price. It only takes a moment, and it ensures fairness since vehicle sizes and conditions vary. Personally, I was expecting to pay about $150 more than I actually did. Overall, you can't go wrong with hiring him. Take the extra minute to answer his questions -- you won't be disappointed.

    I had a really disappointing experience with Real Bros Auto Pros…read more I scheduled an appointment to have my window tint removed and replaced. This wasn't a small inconvenience--I took a full day off work (costing me about $700), drove over an hour to get there, and spent a good amount on gas since my car gets terrible mileage. When I arrived, I spoke with Alejandro--the same person who set up my appointment. After looking at my car, he refused to do the job. What really frustrated me was his reasoning: he admitted they are not capable of installing tint without leaving dirt, dust, or debris under the film. That completely contradicts what he told me when I first booked. I specifically asked about the quality of their installs, and he assured me they had zero tolerance for dirt or debris. That's the only reason I trusted them with the appointment. So I lost a day of income, time, and travel expenses for nothing. To make matters worse, Alejandro said he would Zelle me $100 to help cover the wasted trip and inconvenience. That never happened. Bottom line: poor communication, wasted time, and broken promises. I would strongly recommend finding a shop that is upfront about their capabilities and respects your time.

My understanding is he's not any longer and it's reflected by the service. I called two days ago to get a quote on some service , I caught the guy at lunch, but he took down all the information for what I was looking for and said he would call me back as soon as he got back from lunch, this was 12:15 At 3:30 that afternoon I had not received a call so I called once again the shop manager, Eric, answered. I asked for Johnny who was who I talked to earlier and he seemed confused as to who Johnny was at first, then he told me he wasn't available. He was at lunch. When I questioned that he said that they alternate managers taking lunch and I told him that he was on lunch at 12:15 and I was quite surprised that he would still be on lunch at 3:30. Anyway, Eric is the kind of guy that likes to talk over you so it was a hard conversation, but he said he would have Johnny call me back. Never heard from him that day, then the following day I called him once again and got their answering machine, so I left a message. Finally today day three I a call back from "Johnny" and before he could get a word out, I told him that I had already made arrangements to get the job done. Don't recommend them don't know who the ownership is anymore, but Customer Service definitely needs some attention.

    Update: 06/2024…read more Ceramic coat is STILL going strong! I continue to pressure wash my car and it makes cleaning my car much easier than a non ceramic coated car. I will say the coating is in need of a recoating by this time because some sap and pollen sticks to the car. But a few extra minutes of a pressure washer and the sap is off. I will say the ceramic coating is at 60% effectiveness compared to the first day of ceramic coating. Not complaining! I am still impressed with their work! Good value getting ceramic coating from these guys!

Super fast responses via Yelp Messaging and via text messaging. We got my cars scheduled and away he went. Today, Joe just completed the first part my 2017 Tesla. I took the 5 year ceramic to have a longer lasting gloss!! This guy worked HARD. He spent the majority of the day prepping the car for the ceramic coating and then another few hours getting the job done. I spoke to him on several occasions, while he was doing the work, and I must say, he simply loves what he does. He is like an artist wanting the final results to be perfect. Super communicative, super professional, and seems like a simply honest person. I look forward to having him complete the job (there were a few things he still needed to do to it before considering it "done."). He also needs to come back for my 2nd vehicle anyway. I am now considering having him do 2 or maybe even 3 of my other vehicles. Keep up the great, honest work Joe!! You will thrive in your business!
