Called up Sam towards the end of the day and he was able to take care of my car right away. Very straight forward guy and got right to work in my car. He was very quick getting my alignment done up to my requested specs. Highly recommend. read more

I can say that Sam is very professional and he absolutely knows what he's doing. Sam being a mechanic of Toyota, he definitely knows everything and knows how to fix everything. This is where I would comeback for future services. Some shops would have charged me over 2500 USD but Sam was so honest and my bill was lower than that. it is okay to bring in some parts too, just pay the labor. He did the ff to my car. (I swear, very affordable!) - valve cover gasket replaced - power steering hose & belt replaced - replaced spark plugs - engine oil change - transmission oil change - PCV valve replaced Power steering - serpentine belt replaced read more

I've been coming here for several years, getting routine and extensive maintenance done on multiple vehicles. Sam is the man!! The shop is really clean and organized, his work and craftsmanship is on point! Very honest mechanic, trust all his opinions and the work that he does. Never has he tried to upsell me, if anything he will save you money with his expertise and not pressure you into doing more work just because something needs to be done in the near future! Most of the reviews I read do match my experiences here, Sam is a great guy, with a passion for cars and will always give you an honest opinion and pristine work Plus his rates are incredibly reasonable for the quality and compassion he puts into things read more

Good quality work. Sam is an honest mechanic and he doesn't suggest any unnecessary things. Not many ethical people out there. Worthwhile to bring your business here. read more

To start off, the phone call I had with Gary was very professional and respectful. He let me know the cost for the PPI (Pre-Purchase Inspection) and then worked with me and the owner of the car I was looking at. The owner of the car dropped the car off and Garys team got straight to work. After they were finished with the inspection they let me know a whole list of things that were wrong with the car and needed to be addressed. I cannot thank these guys enough for saving me about 6-7 thousand in repairs if I had purchased the car. Very honest and Professional shop that does outstanding work. Thanks so much to Gary and the team! read more

He really explained why my mom's clutch broke and took care of everything, even parts that he saw that needed fixing and did it for her our of kindness. One of the best mechanics I seen! I wish I can give way more stars, and so affordable too! He helped us out at a really tough time! read more

Sam is that mechanic you wish you knew about a looong time ago. He's honest, skilled, timely and very fair priced. He encompasses all the good values you would want in a mechanic and a business owner. Highly recommend. read more

So my old jalopy conked out on 880 in the middle of a Friday night/Saturday morning due to overheating. I was stuck waiting a few hours for a tow, and in the meantime, was searching for mechanics on Yelp who were open on Saturday to have a look at the vehicle. Originally, I had noticed Hi Tech, and kept it on my short list of potential stops. However, I ended up making a spur of the moment decision, and had my poor baby towed to another establishment down the street. A few hours later, I returned to said shop, but they happened to be quite busy, and would not be able to inspect it until Monday. Fortunately, the car was able to cold start, and run long enough to motor a few blocks down to Hi Tech after pouring in a bit of coolant. I was greeted by the owner, Sam. He was very polite, and seemed to know his stuff. He was also kind enough to drop what he was doing to diagnose the problem. Almost immediately, he was able to assess the issue. The radiator was completely busted! As a matter of fact, when attempting to pour in more water or coolant, the majority of it would run off straight to the floor! This would indicate that the damage was rather substantial, and it was a miracle that the motor hadn't completely blown. This especially irked me because I had been patronizing a to be unnamed shop in Milpitas that I thought I knew and trusted for years, but they failed to detect it all this time! Since it was a bit last minute, and Sam didn't happen to have any spare radiators on hand, I had to wait until Monday to have it repaired. When the time finally came around, he was able to complete it on the same day, and my trusty old friend was up and running just like new! He also took the time to inspect all the hoses, sensors, and anything else that might potentially misbehave. Of course, as with any high mileage vehicle, there will always be minor aches and pains to deal with, but all things considered, I am very pleased that she has been so reliable for all these years. Upon removal, Sam showed me what the old radiator looked like, and it was cracked and corroded quite extensively! The utter failure of my old mechanic to notice this made my own engine overheat. I cannot believe that I had been previously driving all the way down to Milpitas, only to have them ultimately screw me over in the end anyhow. Sam is basically a one man operation, but he prefers it that way, so he can provide the best hands on service for you and your vehicle. From now on, Hi Tech Auto, which is practically a hop and skip away from my house, has earned my trust until further notice. read more

Professional and quick service. Dropped off my 2021 Lexus I250 at Hi Tech for oil change. Smooth and quick service, call ahead, they might be busy in the mornings. read more

honest, transparent, professional, and uses quality parts for all repairs. He will give his honest opinion and what services your car needs or doesn't need. He listens well and very thoroughly checks to ensure he is making the right repairs to fix the issue. He is proud of his work and if you have any issues, he will make it right. Just feels great to know that you aren't getting swindled or cheated when you go to his shop! Would recommend to anybody. read more

Andrew has been our mechanic for a few years now and we refuse to go anywhere else! Definitely, come here if you are looking for someone who is honest and won't charge you an arm and a leg. Whenever we have an issue with our car there is never any hesitation to call Andrew to see if he can fix the problem. He is always upfront about the needs of your car and the total cost before he starts any repairs. With that said, trust me when I say, don't go anywhere else! read more

Under the new ownership, Sam is A very good mechanic and quite possibly the best auto repair/maintenance place I've been to. Honest, quick, and affordable. You Yelpers didn't steer me wrong. Sam is a very hard worker and is always happy to stop and educate you on any issues related to your car. As others have mentioned, it's hard sometimes to know who you can trust in the car repair industry; too often someone will try to convince you that more work needs to be done when it really doesn't. I have never had this concern when I've gone to Sam. He is very honest and will fully disclose what needs to be done. He doesn't need to upsell anyone. The quality of his work speaks for itself and he has many loyal customers. read more

Good service, prices, honest, clean, condiments and fast service. This is the way all auto shop should treat their customers. Thanks alot!

Amazing customer care and service! Had the best experience here multiple times with their caring and knowledgeable staff who took the time to explain and walk me through issues with my car. Most reasonable prices (I shopped around) . Will definitely come back with any future car needs! read more

Highly recommended. Sam is very honest, fixed exactly what needed to be fixed and at a very reasonable price! Will definitely be returning next time I need work done on my car. read more

Sam had been highly recommended so I came in to have a Denali performed the computerized four-wheel alignment done. Not only was the price the most competitive around town, but when I left, I thought the alignment issue persisted. San quickly looked at it again, road tested, rotated all four tires, road tested again and showed me my tires need to be replaced. Hmmm...I had no idea my tires were that bad, but seeing is believing and I truly appreciated him going that extra step to show me what the real issue is. What a wonderful experience with a very knowledgeable mechanic. I'll be bringing all of my suspension/alignment issues to Sam. read more

The owner Sam is the most skillful, reliable and friendly auto repair expert I've ever met! Was here for a 10k mile service. Best in the East Bay for affordable and professional auto maintenance. Highly recommend! read more

We have all been unsatisfied finding a good automobile repair shop and I used a dealer for far too long. I had heard good things about Andrew's Hi-Tech shop in Hayward, near my work, and I finally decided to give him a shot. Boy was I happy. He did a thorough analysis of my vehicle and explained what needed serv icing and what could wait, unlike the dealer who just wants to replace everything to increase their take, regardless of whether it really needs replacing. He was honest. What was really nice is that he pulled out a small dent in my fender and didn't even charge me for that. I'll never go back to the dealer now. read more

Came in for an oil change for my 2012 Corolla. Sam was helpful and price was fair. Will definitely comeback again for my next oil change .

This is the only auto care shop that I would go. Sam is very professional in his service and he has been servicing my cars for the past 8 years. He can diagnosis the problem very quickly and suggest repair at reasonable cost. I trust Sam for all the maintenance he has done for my cars because I haven't had any problems with them since he checks everything very thoroughly. Their name "HiTech" says it all, they have up to date equipments, tools to service their clients. It makes me feel good handing my cars in their hands for service because of their service. My car tire was nailed so I took it in with my daughter for tire repair. Me and my daughter waited in the waiting room while my car was in service. They got movies, drinks and snacks for customers. When repair was done, my daughter even didn't want to go home.. I guess she was having more fun at the waiting room than at home. read more

My car happened to break down outside his store as he was opening up. He assessed the problem, gave me a fair quote, and delivered as promised. He has earned my future business because even though he ended up putting 2 more hours of labor into the job, he stood by his original labor quote. Andrew is a man I can trust to do the right thing, and unfortunately, that's something I see less and less of these days. read more

It's the worst service I've ever seen. He give me an appointment and then told me he isn't available. I don't recommend it

I had my car stolen from me and luckily it was recovered, but unfortunately they broke the ignition system and they removed the cover to the gas tank in the trunk which caused it to smell of gas. I needed to get my car fixed and running as soon as possible and the first person i contacted to fix it was Hi Tech Auto. Andrew was very understanding and went above and beyond to get my car, which was interoperable at the time, back to his shop and had it running within a couple of hours. I would recommend anyone to take there car to him for repairs, they do a great job and I would definitely be taking my vehicles there in the future. read more

Andrew Williams was recommended by my honest mechanic to address my transmission problems on my 2000 Lincoln LS. Andrew explained everything to me, and when he called me later, gave me options. Ultimately, he needed to keep my car for several days while waiting for a new transmission to arrive, install, then troubleshoot some other issues. I picked up my beautiful, freshly washed, LS this morning and she runs like the champ she is. My husband went with me to pick the LS up and Andrew showed us the old transmission, and explained the entire repair process, which my husband was familiar with (he works at a government vehicle maintenance facility). It is refreshing to meet an honest mechanic who runs a clean shop. I would recommend him in a heartbeat. read more

I usually didn't write comments as I am lazy and nothing surprising.But this shop is really cool.It's said a reconstructed shop,yea,excellent mechanic,amazing new facility,reasonable cost.efficient ! 20 mins for oil changing and tire rotation.save money and time! read more

I've been having my car serviced there now for about 3yrs and have nothing but success in the work that has been done.

Hi Tech Auto was great at keeping me informed on the diagnosis and cost estimate, worked with me to refine the quote and had my car back in my hands sooner than originally expected. 5 stars. I appreciate an honest shop. read more

During my time we didn't have this Yelp who ever develop this apps is genius. Any way payback time! When I brought my car to this shop hoping my problem will be solved. Not only he didn't fix the problem he even drove my car and tried to put some miles on the car so he can get away with his crime... I was charged about $600 for the parts and labor. I'm saying don't go to this shop I'm just sharing my experience read more

Had my vehicle done here and I must say they do outstanding work. will return again.

THIS guy looks great from the outside but is a RIP OFF ARTIST!!! I came in with a perfect running car barely 5 years old for a smog check for dmv registration and he ran it in such a way that triggered the speed sensor go off , * he was already concerned that i should plan on spending 500 dollars for diagnosis , I looked up the code that came up for my car and it was a common problem if someone accelerates to fast on the smog test , he promised i wouldn't get it to pass just by retesting and guaranteed it . so i went down the street told them what happened at another shop and they said this guy is trying to rip you off! so bam! it PASSED flying colors! this guy is a jerk and he refunded me my 60 after i came back and almost got in a fight with him and he managed to void the refund so i have to go back a 3rd time!!! hes trying to turn a 50 dollar repair into 500! run run run away read more

Andrew is absolutely the best. We found his repair business when my husband worked in Hayward. Even though we live in Oakland, we still prefer to come down to have him work on our cars. You know he's doing the right thing for your car since he's so honest and adept. read more
