I had a great experience here in getting my car's alignment done. I was helped by Mark who was…read morereally helpful and kept me in the loop on the car's progress. Also while completing my alignment, they saw in issue with my tire where I had a bubble and made sure to show it to me. This was great because it was in a spot I might have missed, and this allowed me to promptly get my tire fixed as well. The alignment itself took only about a 45 minutes, and the pricing was really fair. I'll definitely be back the next time I need an alignment.

I ended up going back to the exact same guy I used 11 years ago , Carlos at 15 Minutes Smog Test & Repair. Same guy, same professionalism, same incredible service. I was literally in and out in 15 minutes and paid only $40. Eleven years ago, I paid $35. In California, where prices have doubled and tripled on everything, this is honestly unbelievable. I called around before going, and everywhere else was quoting me anywhere from $60 to $80+. Carlos knows exactly what he's doing, which is why this place constantly has 5-star reviews. Super proactive, super professional, and they even cleaned my windshield while I was there. Seriously, don't waste your time chasing coupons or dealing with nonsense shops. If you need a smog check, go here. Carlos was phenomenal. A++ service. I honestly don't even understand how anyone else is still in business at this point.

This is my go to spot for smog checks!…read more I like to make an appointment because they work on your car as soon as you get there. I've been there before without an appointment and other cars with appointments are worked on before mine. No big deal, since they're fine with walk ins. But if I can save 15 minutes, I'll save 15 minutes! Jose is efficient and quick! He's also friendly and appears to remember me - maybe because I've been going there for awhile! $40 for our cars, cash or credit. There's a cafe a block away but I check my email onsite and my car is ready! I should time him next time. I think it's been as fast as 12 minutes.

I brought in my BMW 328i with electrical issues, which the BMW agency was not able to diagnose let alone fix. Jorge and team ran their diagnostics, tried to re-use/refurbish the damaged part in an attempt to save me money. That speaks a lot about their honesty and ethics! All the while they had my car, waiting for the parts, they kept it covered, and even gave me a loaner!!! Did I say they go above and beyond?! Lastly, they kept me informed all throughout the process and finally my car was fixed in a very timely manner. Now they're working on my wife's A3. I'm very glad to have found them.

1 star only...because 0 isn't an option…read more I booked an 11:00 a.m. appointment for an oil change in advance. I wasn't a walk-in. When I dropped off my car, I was told it would be ready around 12:30-1:00 p.m. and that I'd receive a call when it was done. I decided to stick around the area. At 1:00 p.m., after waiting two hours, I walked back to check on the status and found that they hadn't even started working on my car. When I told them I was leaving, the employee suddenly asked if I could wait another 10-15 minutes because he could "start it now". So frustrating. My scheduled appointment meant absolutely nothing until I complained and I was not interested in a rushed oil change... If your business can't honor appointment times, don't offer appointments. Respect your customers' time. I would not recommend taking your business here. I certainly won't be back.

Saved me $1414 getting my car fixed here! I had no idea that the other auto mechanic I've been…read moregoing to was so expensive. Someone recommended 1701 so I decided to give it a try. I made a call and the same repair that I was quoted as $480 at another local auto repair shop, Sebastian quoted me as about $250 dollars. And then the other repair of the right and left arms for some part of the engine that I was quoted as $1184 by the other Auto shop, Sebastian told me that it's normal wear and doesn't need to be repaired yet. Now it makes sense that the previous repair shop wanted to charge me $50 per bulb to put in when my bulbs went out on my car. So I went and got the bulbs myself at O'Reilly's and put them in myself the first time until I found out O'Reillys offers complementary bulb replacement. Between 1701 and O'Reillys, I think I may be able to survive and keep my car running. Grateful for honest affordable 1701 Auto Care! Thank you, Sebastian.

Brett and his garage repair shop is great/top-notch! The best mix of high quality and rate around!…read more(trust me, I've called around to 35 shops for their labor rates) I've been taking my cars to Precision Auto Care, but I recently bought a cheap 20 year old used car (hey, it only had 107k miles on it!), so I didn't need any premium pricing costs towards its maintenance. So I went about searching for the best deal around (considering I didn't want to put in too much into a car that are in its last years). After an exhaustive search, you can trust me in saying you won't find better (mix of still high quality, but not premium high quality price cost to go with it) -- you ain't gonna beat his/their rate & quality at $120/hr. Brett is an earnest, eager guy who wants to do all he can to help you out. So I imagine the rest of his team/shop is reflective of that. He's on the younger side compared to other mechanics who run their own shop -- who end up really set in their ways and many have become complacent or too presumptive to be open to anything else or more. I brought in that used car to get a good look over and to confirm what the Pre-Purchase Inspection observed about it. He was able to confirm some things, and clear out some other concerns after taking a closer look at it. Most importantly; he was able to catch the things that he should've, and didn't fabricate more merely to pad on costs -- ultimately making/exampling him as trustworthy. He has since fixed/troubleshooted the car having trouble starting (he diagnosed/figured replacing/upgrading the spark plugs; which did the trick), replaced headlights, and simple oil change. In all, I saw that he properly charged the time appropriately with partial to his per/hour rate -- which, again, speaks to his integrity & trustworthiness (as many sleazy underhanded shops would charge a full hour's work even if it took a fraction of the time). He instilled confidence & faith so much that I brought my brand new 2026 SUV to him (which, I imagine, I would've brought to Precision Auto Care in San Leandro normally to do the high end care) to get the catalytic converter shield installed. His guy did a good job (at the very least I have no complaints, but I'm not so knowledgeable to know much more of a difference). My only qualm about it is I was quoted 2 hours of work, but I did end up having to hang around and wait for 3 hours. But, again to speak to impressive work ethic & integrity, was charged 2 hours. His place processes with impressive paperwork, listing every single aspect looked at and worked on, pricing, cost break down. What makes me a bit nervous is that when I sign for the estimate, it doesn't show cost on it; so if any disputes, any prearranged pricing/cost wouldn't be binding. If he gave less of a trustworthiness vibe, it would be best to insist it be on the estimate. But I get the feeling that I imagine if there was any dispute, Brett would do his absolute best and bend backwards to understand, accommodate, and make it right (even if it would go against established practices). Parking is very challenging. If you can't simply pull in, I suggest calling and talking to him to figure out how he wants it (it's what I've had to do each time). A few times, he would move his VW car from the street parking spot in front of his shop to place my car, others he had used the unused parking lot around the corner (which has since been fenced off; so that's a no-go any longer), and last time he moved a car at the front of the garage to have my SUV enter -- if you aren't confident or new to your car, I HIGHLY urge & suggest you simply have him bring it in; I know for sure I would damage my car (after I initially gave an attempt), while he successfully did it with confidence/experience. And when the car was done, they placed the car in the aforementioned unused parking lot (no-go anymore), or this last time around the corner down a whole block. I drive the 8 miles just to bring it to Brett and Car Care Service; because he offers the best quality service at the best rate around -- being eager to help, decent, high work ethic/trustworthiness, capable, and I know I don't have anything to worry about with him/them.
