Today was my first time getting a 50,000 mile maintenance service on my vehicle and I am so happy I have a regular spot to go to for my car now. Service was very kind and professional. Run by a father and son. Excellent communication with a text-able phone number and a listed page of services with pricing... both of them had super calm tones in their speaking voices, which I really liked. As a new lady client, I got very good vibes and felt that they were trustworthy with a good reputation. I even learned some maintenance tips for my car. Definitely will be booking my regular car services with Mangale Motors... thank you so much John and Jeff!

My truck has 360K miles on it and all the repairs were done correctly and professionally. Why am I…read morelowering my review? Simply because I was overcharged for a single part. I usually supply my own OEM parts for repair but decided to let Mangale order a fan clutch for my overheating F150. I asked about brands like Hayden and Four Seasons but was told they have had problems with these so I let the shop order whatever they recommended that works best. The Hayden, Four Seasons and Metrix (API) fan clutches are all under $60 on Parts Geek. My issue is I was charged $261 for a Metrix 1604-328141. The same clutch is on Parts Geek for $59. That is a 444% mark up on this same part by the same manufacturer. My advice is to supply your own OEM parts. You will $ave in the long run. My second complaint is a bolt broke off on the thermostat housing while replacing the thermostat (corrosion). It happens and I get it. What I do not understand is how can extracting one bolt cost $750. I was charged 3.5 hours to remove one bolt. I feel like the problem was exaggerated to me verses buying a new manifold. I overpaid the clutch fan by $200. Then the bolt extraction should be 1-2 hours tops so I was overcharged $450 for that as well. I should have gone to the Ford dealer

This was the closest shop to me, and now I know I'll never go anywhere else. The whole experience was amazing. It's literally a drive-thru service you don't even have to get out of your car! The customer service is top-notch. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and always smiling. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do. My technician, Uriel, was incredibly kind and informative. He explained what my car needed without being pushy at all. Unlike some places I've been, I wasn't bombarded with a list of expensive services or talked down to. He simply gave me the information and let me decide, which I really appreciated. I paid about $140, which is around what I normally spend for an oil change, and I happily left a good tip because the service was that great. They also offer a free oil top-off before your next 3,000 miles, which is such a nice bonus! Highly recommend this place. They've definitely earned a loyal customer!

They did a full check on all my lights and tires. And they even checked my cabin filter. They didnt recommend any additional changes or anything with my cabin filters or claim anything was wrong w my car, which checks out since I mostly keep up with it. And that's a good sign that they're just helpful and honest. I could see the workers in the other bay laughing and being friendly with the customers and other workers. So it was just a nice vibe for a lunch break on a weekday. They also cleaned my windshield and replaced my wipers (as ordered). They even offered to help me install wipers if I got the from elsewhere

I've been over-charged, bait and switched, wildly underwhelmed, and still, my car's lights didn't work after paying out far too much money. When i brought my car in to these folks, they listened. They were kind. They had a specialist in San Jose who drove up to check on my car, for which they didn't charge extra. They spent extra time making sure they knew exactly what was going on before they even came up with the estimate. They got a good price on the part and didn't throw a huge up-charge on it. On top of all that, and all the time and effort they put into this, they only charged me for an hour of labor. Even better, they got the job done perfectly. Honesty. Integrity. Amazing skills. They may not have the fanciest shop in Castro Valley, but they have the best crew in Castro Valley. I won't be taking my car anywhere else from now on.
