Nothing breaks your heart more than getting into your vehicle and something goes wrong. Especially…read morewhen you think it's major and going to be expensive to get fixed. Then the dreaded call to a dealer that I have been going to for years. A dealer that makes me cringe. I even made an appointment with that dealer and then I just had to read the dealers reviews. After reading them, I had an epiphany! I'm not going back. I canceled my appointment. Then I decided to go to John's Automotive. Review's were astounding. I actually felt better. I didn't have that dread. I called and talked to Rich (the owner) and made an appointment. I was actually excited. Then the day came, I brought in my vehicle. Spoke to Rich. And left my baby in his hands. A few hours later I received a call telling me what they found and what was needed for repair. He gave me a cost and I was actually happy. It was a reasonable cost. By the end of the day they were still working on it and needed to kept it overnight. I got my vehicle back and she was purring back to health. Rich showed me the parts they took out and explained what they did and how they tested it to make sure it was working right. First time in a long time I felt good about a shop. I will definitely go back. The dread is dead.

What stood out to me was how honest, thoughtful, and detailed he was when explaining the issues with my car. As someone who doesn't know much about cars, I really appreciated how he took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand. He was straightforward about the severity of the issue and the cost of repairs, which he explained would not be practical. I especially appreciated his empathy and consideration throughout the experience. As a woman who isn't very knowledgeable about cars, it's refreshing to meet a mechanic who takes the time to explain things without making you feel uncomfortable or uninformed. I would definitely recommend this shop based on my experience. Just give them a call first before spending your money, as I did.

AMAZING SERVICE. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. QUALITY WORK. GREAT VALUE. INCREDIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE…read more EXTREMELY HELPFUL. As someone who extensively reads through reviews and is selective about what services I pay for, I can absolutely 100% recommend Heavenly Auto Care. On the phone, I spoke with Hermes who is a genuinely nice, honest person and very knowledgeable and professional. I explained to him that I previously brought my car to the dealer due to getting a dashboard alert for a brake system malfunction. Per the dealer, I was told I needed to replace the master cyclinder and get a brake fluid flush. The dealer's quoted repair estimate was ~$1,746. They also recommended a few routine maintenance things (i.e., replacing the front/rear wipers and the cabin/engine air filters). If I were to have gone through the dealer, for parts and labor, it would've cost ~$307! Hermes took the time to explain to me in detail the possible causes for my car's brake issue (it was very interesting and informative) and the break down of the costs. The quote he gave me for the brakes was MORE THAN HALF the price of the price estimate I got from the dealer! Hermes took the time to look up my car, its specifications to get more accurate quotes for parts, etc.; and shared lots of helpful tips to save money on my car. He effectively communicated with me by calling and updating me about when to expect the ordered parts and when they had arrived at the shop. I also appreciated the flexibility allowed in me choosing when I could bring my car in. On the day of, Hermes was friendly, professional, very knowledgeable, and very helpful-- as I had experienced him on the phone. He explained everything very clearly, took the time to explain things so I was informed and aware (I learned a lot from him!), was transparent about pricing, and gave a bunch of helpful tips and advice. The shop also got my car worked on and finished hours before I had expected. I am so appreciative of his honesty, willingness to help, patience in explaining/teaching me, and his thoughtful feedback and expertise. The folx at the shop were similarly pleasant and hard-working. Look no further for your new mechanic-- Heavenly Auto is it! Thanks Hermes and team!

My car was leaking and Dindo, the shop owner, even suggested I use my AAA membership to have it towed in for free instead of driving it and risking more damage. That kind of thoughtfulness immediately showed me he cared. When he looked over the car, Dindo sat down with me and explained everything clearly. He was upfront, honest, and showed so much genuine concern for me and my situation. Instead of pushing me toward costly repairs, he told me the truth that fixing it would cost more than the car was worth, and that I'd be better off putting that money toward a new car. It wasn't the news I wanted to hear, but it was the honest one I needed. That kind of integrity and compassion is rare to find in an auto shop. Dindo treated me like a person, not just a customer, and that meant the world to me. I left feeling cared for and with a lot more peace of mind. Taking all my future cars here, 1000% I've never trusted a mechanic before in my life, so this is really different for me. Thank you guys again

WOW! These guys are the BEST OF THE BEST! I brought my BMW in there today to get some major work…read moredone and WOW!!! I am so impressed at the quality of work they do here. I brought the same car to the BMW dealer in San Mateo (Peter Pan) and they quoted me over $3000.00. Brought it into these nice folks and was done for less than 50% of the price and WAY WAY WAY better service. Peter Pan wanted to have the car for 1-2 weeks, these guys did the job SUPER FAST. Done same day and for more than 50% off the price of the dealership. They do high quality work here and treat their customers right! Ask for Derek or Dietmar.

He recently saved me thousands of dollars by giving me an honest diagnosis and fixing my car for a fraction of what another mechanic quoted me. Tony is incredibly trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his customers. In an industry where it can be hard to know who you can trust, Tony is the real deal. He's not just a great mechanic -- he's a good person, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything he has done for me and my car. His brother Jose is a great mechanic and good person too!

Nick was the nicest and most personable mechanic I've ever met. He took in my car and about an hour later had diagnosed the issue and thoroughly explained what needed to get done. In a matter of two short days, Nick had my car running like a dream and did not charge me an arm and a leg like most other mechanics. Not to mention, Nick performed a PPI-like inspection as he knew I had just purchased the car and ensured it needed no other immediate remedies for any unforeseen issues; at no extra charge. I definitely recommend Inside Garage! Nick's expertise, skill, friendliness, and speed, puts him at the top of my list. I'll definitely be taking my 3000GT back there again if it ever needs work!

I wouldn't have even known about this business if it hadn't been for an AI recommendation and then…read moreI followed up to see if they were on Yelp and sure enough they were with good well deserved reviews. I dropped by to get a quote for some preventative maintenance that I was getting done on my Honda Odyssey EXL minivan. I had printed out the things I wanted done mainly because I had just acquired the vehicle several months earlier and in reviewing its history of maintenance by the previous owners I saw there were some things that needed to be done that had never been done. So I made a list of having the timing belt replace the serpentine belt replace the water pump replaced the rollers and tensioners for both the serpentine belt and the timing belts replaced. So when I dropped in with the list they very nicely offered to give me the cost and contact me with the total. I explained to them that I was retired on social security so I really did need to know what the out the door amount would be for just having those specific things replaced. Not too long later that day I got a text as I had requested of the complete total out the door and it was quite reasonable. Anyway a few weeks later I made the appointment for the preventative maintenance just the week before when I was going to bring it by. The service was excellent and I will tell you one of the most wonderful things about this place is you step inside their repair facility and it's like stepping into the family owned repair garages that I knew when I was a kid and a young fellow. They are far and few between nowadays and it was wonderful to actually find this one. This one's definitely a keeper and I just wanted to share with all of you my positive experience and responsive and excellent quality work that they did on my vehicle.
