I am so skeptical and non trusting due to past experiences, but in this case I had no choice. I broke down in Pleasanton on my way to a job site. I called OREILLY and asked if they knew a reputable mechanic. Without hesitation they referred me to Asif. I was so taken aback at my good fortune in meeting this establishment. Honestly, they restored my faith in mechanics. I never met such an honest, direct and forthcoming person. They have been in business over 15 years and they know what they are doing. You get the feeling you are being taken care of by family. Together with Budget Towing, they worked together to get my car towed to their shop, and by the time my job ended my vehicle was ready for pickup. Absolutely seamless experience and I owe a debt of gratitude to this exceptional business Hopyard Auto. Thank you Mr. Iqbal. read more

Hopyard Auto Repair has been our family's go-to shop for over 10 years, and I can't recommend them enough. They're truly a one-stop shop for everything -- brakes, smog checks, major repairs, you name it, they handle it all. Asif and Jay are the reason we keep coming back. They're friendly and approachable, always take the time to explain what's going on with your car in a way you can actually understand, and their knowledge is top-notch. What really sets them apart is they always go the extra mile, whether that's squeezing in a last-minute appointment or making sure a job is done right rather than just done fast. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic who treats you like family, Hopyard Auto Repair is it. Highly recommend. read more

Been coming to hopyard for 11 years great pricing , quality work and really fast smog

We have been bringing our vehicles to Hopyard Auto Repair for nine years now, and there's a reason we've never looked elsewhere. We are a Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Company and rely on our vehicles every single day to get patients to dialysis, doctor's appointments, and home again, so downtime is not an option for us. Hopyard understands that. They turn our vehicles around quickly, communicate clearly about what needs fixing now versus what can wait, and never pad the estimate. What sets them apart is the honesty. More than once they've told us a repair we asked about wasn't necessary yet, which is not something you see often. Their pricing is fair, the work holds up, and when they say a vehicle will be ready, it is. Nine years is a long time to stay with any vendor, and it speaks to the consistency of their service. For a business like ours, a dependable mechanic is essential to serving our riders safely. Hopyard has earned our trust and our long-term business. Highly recommended to anyone in the Tri-Valley area. read more

Nice and quick service and convenient location. Owner is friendly and efficient. Nice clean environment.

I was struggling with engine check warning for some time, thanks to Hopyard Auto they were able to diagnose it quickly and efficiently. Over time I have come to trust them completely and can vouch for their integrity and resourcefulness to debug and fix. read more

I have been with this company for many years. they use to be in Pleasanton ,but they've moved to Dublin. But follow this company bc they do quality work, quickly and at an affordable price. i wish good buisiness and prosperity. Make your cutomers happy. All the best. Sam read more

How do you tell someone to come back after driving miles, just to say you're not the guy to check- wait 2 hours. Then you call Asif and he tells you he doesn't know when he's showing up, "it's busy" when you are clearly seeing no one is at the shop, "call back next week" then switches up and says "call back next month." I patiently tried to work with this place and just want my vehicle checked out, lost future business and references from me. read more

Had my car repair at a cost of several hundred dollars a few months ago due to a valve needing replacement. The car began smoking a few days ago, told me they'd take a look and then surprised me with a $150. Then stated the repair likely made the problem worse and it would cost $4k to replace the engine. Shoddy work and unethical business practices, beware. read more

$80 smog be prepared to bring your wallet. Market price is normally 40-60. Not an older vehicle and not a star smog. Took 30+ minutes to get it done too so not super quick. read more

Very good team set of folks to work with. Neighborhood friendly and quality repairs at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend it for any car service needs. read more

Very bad customer service on the phone. I called them to ask about their flyers that said PASS or FREE RETEST. Guy cut me off in the middle of the sentence says he ain't offering any specials, it's only full price. I was like alright, well I wasn't even talking about discounts... I clarified I was asking about that flyer on their pictures. He was rude, and said "no, we don't do that" and hung up. It's so unnecessary for them to be rude on the phone. Lost a customer for no reason. read more

offers a discount special for smog check then when you present it they do not honer it stating under new management! take it off this page, it is a lie! read more

Hopyard Auto Repair - WILL NOT HONER !! TAKE IT DOWN! - Auto Repair Near Me - Dublin, California

So appreciated being able to walk in without an appointment and get my car smog. It was fairly quick and they had a coupon! Will definitely take my next car to smog here. They don't take cash, card only. read more

This place is a total rip off. I took my car in for a regular smog check. This guy called Asif came back, didn't give me an update, charged my card, and then told me my car's computer system hadn't performed a self-check or something of that sort and so he couldn't complete the test. What really upset me was his attitude, the fact that he didn't mention anything till he charged my card, and his rude attitude when he informed me he had charged me but not completed the test. I am filing a complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repairs for this scam shop. Terrible experience! I'd never go back to this shop. Get a better attitude and stop ripping off your customers! Also, please wear a mask! You compromise the health and safety of your customers when you blatantly ignore Alameda county regulations around businesses following mask Mandates. You had customers in your office when you chose not to wear a mask. You were inside customers cars without a mask. Outrageous! read more

This shop and the owner (Asif) have helped me through numerous issues and saved my $$$ on my Toyota Sienna and Prius ranging from catalytic converter issues, electrical brake control units, mufflers, smog tests, brake pad replacements and many more. My only trusted auto repair shop in Pleasanton especially after I was cheated at another shop in the area (being new in the area). I truly appreciate his honesty and great troubleshooting skills. He would set you straight to get your issues taken care of. Thanks again for being the best out there. read more

I went for smog check . Before I completed my sentence about a coupon the owner rudely said wrong shop. Again he rudely said we don't take any coupons so what you have is wrong. Very bad customer service. read more

First off, let me start with the good: The smog certification service was quick. I went there mid-day on a Tuesday and there was no line, so they were able to check my car really quickly and it took only about 10 mins for the whole thing. I really liked and appreciated that. The price was very reasonable to me too, it was $40 with a Yelp checkin for non-star smog certification service. It would be higher for star certification - I believe around $60 or $80. However, I felt like all of that good experience was ruined by the guy helping me cause he was not friendly at all. First I thought he was just having a bad day so I gave him the benefit of the doubt but there was a point where he asked me to sign a paper and I asked him what this paper was for, and he literally grabbed the paper out of my hand, flipped it upside down and slammed it on the counter in front of me, to show more info on the other side of the paper as his way to respond to my inquiry. I was really taken aback not only because it was very rude, but also because it was borderline scary. He seemed to be extremely bothered simply by me asking a question. I mean, if they asked me to sign something, I would wanna know what I was signing for goodness' sake or it would be nice if they explained to customers what the document was for. Oh, after that I just wanted to run away from that place as fast as I could. Afterwards, it didn't make me feel good or appreciated as a customer. I really did like the service but I am not sure I wanted to go back if I had to deal with the same person again... It was too bad. Bottom line: great & fast car service, but very terrible customer service. read more

Dishonest business. First time I went for a smog check, they tried to bait and switch a discount coupon price with a much higher price. Second time, they didn't honor the discount directly advertised on the Yelp page. Don't waste your time. They are taking advantage of customers and couldn't care less. read more

I have been there a few times for our car and van. Asif was upfront about cost and much more economical than dealership. So far no issues with things he fixed like power steering pump, axle leak fix, transmission fluid flush etc. Smog was economical too compared to the one on Dougherty. Would recommend based on my experience till date. Thanks read more

I took my truck in for a smog check and was told that it could not be completed due to a computer reset (my battery had died). I was informed to drive the car around for 300+ miles and they would retest for free as long as I returned within a month. I returned after 2 weeks and my car passed the smog check. After completing the work the same repair person told me it would be $30 for my re-check and this was standard policy for within a month (outside a month would be full charge). When I asked why I had been misled I was told it was okay and just to pay him In addition to sneaking in costs, I was also told a day earlier that 'the guy who does smog' wasn't around so I had to come back the next day. The person who did the smog work the next day was the person who told me the 'guy who does smog' wasn't around. He clearly didn't want to do the work I wouldn't trust these guys to do any work - they lie and mislead easily for their own advantage read more

The fine gentlemen at this Auto Repair Business have kept my Hondas running smoothly at a fraction of Dealer's prices; I highly recommend this group of auto repair specialists to anyone seeking Foreign Auto Repair and maintenance at a fair price from honest, intelligent, knowledgeable and service oriented folks. Their kindness is a bonus. read more

My radiator hose went out to me and I called Hopyard Auto Repair to see if they could replace my hose the same day. All the other local places said they couldn't take me until the next day. When I arrived at the shop, Asif inspected my hose and ordered it and said if it arrives today, he would be able to replace it. I didn't want to leave my car overnight because I needed it to get to work. He was nice enough to complete the work after they closed even though he didn't have to. He even brought things to my attention that I wasn't aware of. He was a life saver that day and I will definitely come back the next time I need something done! read more

Just needed a full synthetic oil change and a tire rotation. Got in and out quickly. Price was right. And had time for a nice walk around the Pleasanton. Sports Park and Tennis Park. Close to Peers Coffee, Hopyard Brewery and Bill's Cafe. Will definitely come back! read more

Maybe there are a lot of scammers who calls in to autoshops and prank them to ask about a price of some sort. But no matter who is on the phone with them, would it be best to be a bit more patient and nice to their customers? Their customer service is cruddy. The guy who was on the phone with me was extremely rude. I was trying to ask about an oil change price for a Toyota Prius, but I could not hear what he was trying to say since his voice was faint over the phone. So I had to have him repeat himself 3 times to hear the exact price for the oil change. And instead of having me finish what I wanted to ask, he hung up on me. read more

Had my car smog-checked. The techs were very professional. Since I was the first one in, I got the car back sooner than expected. The shop is very conveniently located so I'm sure I'll be back for maintenance work as needed in the future. read more

Smog check was quick and efficient. The staff was friendly and gave us a good estimate of time so we didn't waste any. We will be back next time. Highly recommend read more

Watch out they will test your vehicle and don't even have the decency to tell you your car failed until you pay.... because my 18 year old car had a little smoke come out the exhaust. read more

Asif and his crew are the best. Their attention to detail stands out in everything they do. I recommend them on the Oil Change and Smog Check side 100%. They use Mighty brand full synthetic and blends unlike the previous owners. They take pride in what they do and that's what I like. read more

Hopyard Auto Repair - First class crew and products - Auto Repair Near Me - Dublin, California

I stopped by for a smog certification. Expected to have to wait. Asif took my car immediately. We had been to this station a few years back before it became Hopyard Auto Repair. It has been fixed up quite nicely. Asif was very friendly and took the Yelp Check in price which was made me happy. We used to go to Harry's Automotive before it was sold. No longer happy with them so it was great to find Hopyard Auto. I will return if my vehicle experiences an issue. read more

Came here after doing a search for smog... brought My car for a smog and I was in and out, I was happy to find this place... it was easy to find and down the street... the guy was nice even ask him about my tire sensor light... would recommend and go back to this shop... read more

Took my old 2000 Pathfinder for a smog check. I did have my service engine light on, and Asif charged for the diagnostic, but then since repairs were required, he included the diagnostic cost into the repairs' effectively waiving them. Very easy going and good to work with, he had the car ready for the smog check over two business days since I was on a strict timeline. They are also STAR certified which is what I needed. Will be returning for other repair/maintenance needs to this location. read more

Update: 8/6/2017 Well, I usually don't like to slam a place, but some things just cannot stand. I was pleased with the work done, so that part still stands, but I was informed during the oil change that I needed new air filters (cabin and engine) and that my rear brakes were 75% worn and in need of replacing. Duly noted, I declined the extra options and left. I always expect upsells anyway. I then bought the new filters and brake pads at Monument Auto Parts. If one has a good socket set, C-clamp, and floor jack, changing brake pads is a no-brainer. Imagine my surprise when I went to replace the old pads and found them 60% full. Again, they aren't the only people doing this sort of thing (recommending unnecessary work), since RyNick had done the same thing years ago, but still, it simply must stop. Certainly most won't ever know that the work was completely superfluous (hint: ask them to let you see the old pads afterwards). I probably should have suspected something since I had just taken my vehicle in for new tires and the tire place said nothing about replacing the brake pads. So there you have it. If you know exactly what you need, then perhaps this place is okay. Just don't agree to any extra work without knowing for sure that it's needed. Side note: the bolts around the air cleaner were essentially finger tight after they opened it up. That was a little annoying as well. Hopefully, if people speak up about this type of service, places will change their business practices. People rely on their honestly. I'm disappointed to see this kind of stuff still occurs today. Old Review: Great service. Fast and friendly. I went for an oil change and the job was well done. There were recommendations for other items, but the worker was not pushy, which I greatly respect. I'll happily return again. read more

Very rude. Employees were not wearing masks or social distancing. Very agressive. Just an unpleasant experience all around.

Had to get a smog done and found this place on yelp. Walked in near closing and owner was still able to get my smog in. Very good customer service and quick. Highly recommend. read more

Asif is awesome. He's an honest guy and after years of coming here with multiple cars, he has not try to up sell me on unnecessary services. Rather he will tell me when something is deteriorating and the expected timeline I can get out of said defect. His rates are very reasonable and the quality of work beats the stealership. He has broad experience across a range of vehicles makes - both foreign (#vtakyo) and domestic. There's no reason to go anywhere else! read more

After an attempted rip off at another well known place in Pleasanton (Whom I won't mention for potential litigious reasons.) I took my car to Asif, he is the new owner. Let me put this out there right away, he is an immigrant from Pakistan and has been in this country for 15+ years. He speaks English well and communicated very clearly to me what was wrong with my car after a severe misdiagnosis at the aforementioned shop. I left my car with him Thur eve and by the end of the day Fri it was completed. I came in for a leaking water pump and hoses. The other incompetent shop tried to tell me I had a blown head gasket which is an extremely labor intensive job. Asif was able to explain in depth as to why I did not have a blown head gasket and clearly identified the real problems that I could see with my own eyes. He called me Fri at noon and had discovered a crack in my radiator. He pinpointed the exact spot of the crack and there was clear evidence of coolant seepage. His labor rates are very reasonable as was his mark up on the replacement parts. I know because I went home and Google searched all the parts and comparable mechanic labor for my model of car.....something I should have done in the 1st place after dealing with these other jackasses. Additionally he waived the sales tax if I paid him cash, which was fine by me. On a personal note; Asif is a married family man with a young baby who is grateful to be in the USA. He comes across in a very genuine way. I was happy to give my business to him and will return for tires in a couple of months. He was able to offer a name brand tire with a warranty for the same price as Costco. I'll be seeing him for tires soon! read more

Came here for a smog. Upon walking up, there was only one guy in the shop who informed me that he wasn't the smog tech. He called the smog tech who said he was only 10-15 min away. I waited 30 minutes. During the smog, the first thing the smog tech asked me was if there were any aftermarket parts. I informed him about an after market catalytic converter as it was the only after market part on the vehicle. He then asked me if I was a Cop, or if my car was a police vehicle (bizarre, right?) This was the longest smog I have ever experienced. He attempted to tell me that my catalytic converter was illegal (i verified this was not the case). He then found another reason to fail me, evap hose wasn't hooked up to the air cleaner housing... whatever. I had informed him that I needed this vehicle smogged so I could sell it first thing the following morning, however he continued to drag this process out as long as possible. I told him that I was going to go home, resolve the issue by using parts from another jeep of mine. When I return the tech tells me that he is no longer able to do the smog because he can't get on the phone and verify the CARB numbers on my aftermarket parts. The CARB numbers were clearly visable on all the aftermarket parts as required per CA Law. Also, a simple web search will verify the validity of the parts as they're still sold in California as 50-state legal, etc. These guys had a very lazy demeanor, and I felt like they were just messing with me the whole time. Not to mention there was another vehicle in the bay that the smog dyno is in, so they had my vehicle backwards on the dyno. Luckily it wasn't a car I care more about, otherwise I would have been very upset that during the time they were testing it, it would tap the other vehicle in the bay. Shady, untrustworthy, dishonest. I will pay full price for a smog somewhere else, rather then give them the 30 bucks for a retest. read more
