They were so nice. I had picked up a nail. They did not need to replace my tire nor did they try to convince me to do anything I did not need done. They simply fixed my tire. The price was super reasonable. Now it did take a minute because I was without a reservation and they had other customers, but the staff was so nice I did not care. They had a nice waiting area and that place, for a tire shop is clean. I was very happy. I am now a fan of Big O Tires.

Being a woman in need of automotive repair can be a scary position to be in. I first went to…read moreClearlake Automotive when I noticed a check engine light that had come on. I knew this could be anything so when I spoke to Ray I expected the worst. To my surprise Ray tossed me my keys and said here you go...I's done. I asked how much I owed him. He said "nothing..your gas cap was on wrong" I was so relieved and impressed. A dishonest mechanic could have made up some bogus reason for the light and charged me what ever he thought I would pay. Ray didn't even charge me for his time hooking my care up to the diagnostic machine. The second time I went to see Ray I had just got new tires on on my car. The tire shop said I needed new breaks and they gave me a quote. All the sudden my breaks were making a horrible noise. I choose to give my business to Ray's shop because he impressed me with his honesty. Ray's son changed my breaks but told me I still had a little life on the old ones I could have waited a little longer. I didn't understand because my breaks sounded bad. When I left My breaks still were making noise. I went back to the shop and spoke to Ray. They looked at the car and said I had a "squeeker" He said that there is a piece of sheet metal by the tire and some shops will bend the metal so it will rub and should like you are in need of immediate repair. I have been back several times to Clearlake Automotive and many times Ray will do little things for me like fix my blinker for free. On top of his honest hard work On thing I love about Clearlake Automotive is he always quotes his work on the high end and when I get the bill it is less than what he quoted. This is such a nice surprise. It helps me plan and feel comfortable knowing I have enough money. I have lots more I could tell you about my experience with Ray and his shop. But I think you need to check him out for yourself. ....OH.....PS... Twice Ray has arranged for his wife to give me rides home while my car is being worked on, and she comes to pick me up when the car is done. Thanks Ray we need more men like you!

Keep in mind this business was owned by Pat, the best mechanic ever, until 2022. More than half of…read morethe reviews are for the previous owner. The new owner is nothing like his predecessor. Here's my experience with the current owner... I brought my car in because the brakes were sticking. Brian quoted $2,600 for brakes, a battery, and tires, including $800 for the tires. I declined the tires, but he said they were unsafe and would not release the car unless I bought tires from him or had it towed. Without AAA coverage, I felt trapped and pressured into purchasing them, leaving me unable to afford the brake repair. He told me verbally that the car was ready Thursday. I returned Monday because he was closed Friday through Sunday. He then claimed I owed storage fees starting Thursday, despite providing no written notice of the start date, daily rate, or required statement of charges under California Civil Code section 3068. I even offered to pay for Monday's storage because the lot was busy and because he had worked Monday rather than Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, which I believed would have been a fair compromise. He was unwilling to compromise. Instead, he threatened to charge about $900 in retroactive storage fees if I did not remove the car by 6 p.m. Monday, including days when he had the car for repairs and was not available for me to retrieve it. When I requested a written invoice, he refused to provide one until I paid. The attached invoice was provided only afterward. When I disputed the charges, he essentially told me to take him to court. I felt cornered and pressured to pay disputed charges without documentation. I later noticed that about 80% of his reviews appeared to be from men, causing me to question whether gender-based assumptions influenced his conduct toward me as a woman.

Having had a previous good experience at A&B Collision, I didn't hesitate to go back to Alvaro and his crew. I'm glad I did. They were timely, proactive communicators, provided a clean loaner car, made sure I had all new OEM replacement parts and once I had a claim number from my insurance company, they made the remainder of the process hassle-free and the repair job was perfect!

I was in and out in about five minutes--signed the paperwork, was given a clear due date, and they actually finished ahead of schedule, which I truly appreciated. They kept me informed, called me promptly, and even arranged a rental car for me. Everything was handled in one place, which made the entire experience stress-free. The quality of work on my truck was outstanding. I am extremely picky, and I couldn't find a single blemish--everything was done right. On top of that, the truck was fully detailed inside and out, which really impressed me. I also want to specifically thank Alvaro and Mr. Stone for their professionalism, expertise, and excellent customer service. They treated me with respect and made sure everything was done properly. I'll be taking all of my vehicles to AB Collision from here on out. Thank you for the exceptional work and service.
