I highly recommend you go see Richard for your vehicle repairs. A few years ago, I took my 2002 Tacoma to Richard with a mysterious check engine light issue. Richard took the time to investigate the issue-drove it around the block to see if it came on-and researched it online. He offered helpful recommendations about getting it fixed or not. Last year, I traded my Tacoma for a Tesla and went to see Richard with maintenance questions. He was honest about his services for EVs and even topped off my wiper fluid at no charge. If you take your vehicle to Richard--consistency , honesty, and quality--are what you can expect from him. read more

Infinite Auto Tech - Auto shop - Auto Repair Near Me - San Jose, California

After my daughter in law encountered some car problem on the way to work, I thought it was safer to get the car checked out in San Jose instead of driving all the way back to my normal mechanic. I searched Yelp and found Infinite Auto Tech a 5 star repair shop. She brought the car in late morning and got the car back in the afternoon. Infinite Auto did a computer diagnostic evaluation and installed a new battery. The service was definitely 5 star. read more

Great service. Asked for a quote at 9pm, got a response after 30min. Set up an appointment for the next morning at 7:45am. Fast, reliable, and at a fair price. I recommend Infinite Auto Tech read more

Initial review on 11/11 ================== I took my 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 (57 K miles) in Mar 2025 after Mercedes-Benz Fremont diagnosed a simple oil-pump valve fault (P06DA00). The shop charged nearly $2K to replace the valve, but within a day my engine catastrophically failed on I-680 -- oil-level warning, loss of power, smoke under the hood. Mercedes-Benz Fremont later found shocking negligence: * Oil pickup tube missing, causing complete oil starvation. * Oil-level sensor broken and sealed with silicone instead of an O-ring. * Oil-pump connector unplugged. * Excessive silicone on the oil pan, stripped bolts, and sloppy workmanship. With an independent third party inspection confirming his fault, I asked the owner Richard to file an insurance claim. Even the MB dealer asked him to file the same. He confirmed he had coverage but he refused to file, showing a complete lack of integrity. Later I reported to the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) for another independent investigation by the state. They concluded their investigation in Sep 2025, found him guilty and recorded the same. They also issued a citation as he was unlicensed. He continues to operate without a license which is illegal. They informed me that Richard fired the technician who handled my car--an implicit admission of fault. This "repair" cost me $30 000 for a new engine. If you value your money or your car, stay far away from this unlicensed, unethical and incompetent shop. I'm lawyered up and will see him in court. Final review to owner comments on 11/13 =================================== Your response contains several false claims that are contradicted by Mercedes-Benz and the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). First, your initial quote was $400, but after I left the car you handed me a $2,000 invoice -- a textbook bait-and-switch. Second, the repair was performed by watching a YouTube video. Hard to call yourself a "European specialist" when you are learning from YouTube. The engine had a catastrophic failure. Oil is essential for the engine to run. The oil pickup tube which takes the oil from the pan into the engine was missing after your repair. That starved the engine of the oil and it broke. This is horrendous workmanship. Mercedes-Benz and BAR both concluded the engine failure was caused by improper reassembly. BAR did not "clear you.", it issued you a citation for operating without a license, which is illegal in California. They informed me that you fired the technician who worked on my car. If the repair "went well," why fire him? Did he botch more cars? Credit card was a hail mary. They dont determine mechanical liability. Everything I posted is backed by state findings and dealer documentation. Nothing in your response changes the facts. This review is to warn others. The real resolution will be in court. read more

Richard runs a top-notch shop! I started with him on a GIAC tune for my 3.0T Audi product. But his professionalism, knowledge and great team brought me back for fairly complex services. They did all my belts, my pulleys and the full PCV replacement job + cooling system refresh. Richard really understands these products and explains what they are doing as technically as you like. He is very responsive by email and phone - and has a great team from what I can tell. Steven in particular had a great attitude and was really helpful when I dropped my car off. Will be going back - maybe even with my Toyota! SPORTIVA is also a great place to work while you wait!!! read more

What's not great about Richard and his team? Been a happy and satisfied client for well over a decade, maybe two. Richard's deeply knowledgable and has always done right by me and anyone whom I've referred. He can work on a broad spectrum of vehicles from basic commuters to exotics and treats everyone who comes through the door with respect and integrity. Most recently Richard has performed the routine service on two of my cars, a 4Runner and a 911. Both cars have been get-in-and-drive cars without any worries and without any issues. Let's make it another 10+. read more

My car had an issue and I went to Yelp to find an auto shop. Gave them a call and Richard was really friendly and polite over the phone. I went to their shop today and got my car fixed and it was done quickly. I would definitely recommend them for the fast and great service. read more

Brought my BMW in for an airbag light issue and Richard took care of it right away. I wasn't expecting it to be free, but he cleared the lights without charging me a thing. That kind of honesty and customer service is rare. I'll definitely be coming back here for future work. Highly recommend! read more

Richard was outstanding in addressing the needs of my vehicle for a part replacement. I highly recommend this business and will plan to go back for all servicing needs. read more

My coworkers have been going here recently for their personal vehicles. I just bought a used Nissan Sentra SV, which unfortunately died after I signed the papers. Infinite Auto Tech replaced the battery that I got elsewhere for me very efficiently and quickly. We will definitely be using them again in the future. read more

Changed engine mounts on my Audi Q5. Decent price. Fast service. Added missed screws on fender splash shield even though I didn't asked.

Great service by DC and his staff. Honda S2000--oil change, dismount old tires Toyota 4 Runner--replace front headlight units Will always come back--DSR 2.0! read more

I took my truck there to get the ECU repaired. These are real professionals. Great service, great communication, very reasonable pricing. Much less than what was quoted at other shops and dealerships. Really clean shop. I will be going back again and again. Thanks so much Richard! read more

i took my bmw for an oil change and they were able to fix the rattling issue along with the stripped oil pan drain plug. thank you so much! will come back for more read more

Great service! I have sent my cars for years, and recommend it to my friends. I don't even change my cars' oil myself anymore.

Had a heater core replaced here and they didn't bother to bleed the coolant. I could tell because the cooling system was gurgling as soon as I got the car back. Minor inconvenience for me, but I wouldn't trust this place with any extensive work if they're that careless. Either way they didn't solve my coolant leak, I was still dumping coolant until I fixed the issue myself. read more

We've been going to Richard for the last year or so. He is easy to make an appointment with and fairly quick. We got him from a referral and so far so good! read more

As always, Richard takes good care of family vehicles, consistently throughout the years(5 now??). Had a custom grill installed perfectly by Cody, in a very timely and expeditious manner. Was able to watch, and work was performed very professionally, as always. Richard is also a very straight guy, besides his 23 years of proven experience in the automotive art. read more

Had an excellent experience at Infinite Auto Tech, installing an AWE Exhaust on a 2022 RS3. Would definitely recommend!

Richard is clutch! I managed to pick up a nail nearby on a Friday night at 6:15pm. Most shops would be closing up at this time. Stopped by Infinite Auto Tech right as they are closing. Richard saved the evening and helped fixed the flat even though it was well past their closing time. Thank you so much!! read more

Richard and his team are exceptional. Normally my blood pressure increases when I think about having someone else work on my cars, but I've been to Infinite Auto twice now and both times Richard exceeded my expectations. First time was ~1 year ago. I performed a DIY AC recharge (without AC manifold gauges) on my 2003 Subaru Forester, which improved the coolness of the air, but it wasn't as cold as it should be. Richard performed a recharge (using the AC manifold gauges, of course) for a very reasonable price and a year later the AC is still functioning like new. The second time was a week ago. I had performed an AC recharge (this time with HF AC manifold gauges) on my 2009 Acura RDX. At this point, the AC was blowing cold, but the accessory belt tensioner pulley would chatter/vibrate when the AC was running. Richard verified the AC high/low pressures looked reasonable and surmised that the the instability of the tensioner was probably due to the accessory belt drying out due to old age (even though it didn't have any signs of cracking). He said it's probably slipping under high loads when the AC compressor is running. Amazingly, Richard didn't want to charge me for the time to diagnose the problem. Who does that these days?! I took the car home, replaced the accessory belt and the problem is solved. I rarely write reviews, but Richard and his team deserve to be recognized for their integrity, honesty and expertise. I highly recommend them and believe if you try them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

When I needed my BMW325D repaired, Quang, from Monterey Auto Tech recommend Richard. He is honest, fair price and know what he is doing. Monterey Auto Tech was a very good repair shop, but is no longer opened. I highly recommend Infinite Auto Repair. read more

Richard is wonderful. He is honest, efficient and professional. Glad to have him as my mechanic.

This is a true auto shop with no frills. Richard is an amazing business owner and will do what it takes to provide excellent customer service. The shop is clean and well organized. You won't find a mess of tools and gunk anywhere. Service is quick and prompt; done right the first time. Price is very affordable and they provide service with a smile. If you haven't taken your car here yet for any automotive repair work, you need to. By the way, shop is tucked away in the back of a building. Large open parking area. And his office is in the back of the shop. He has great availability and quick to respond to any communication; always willing to help out. read more

The owner richard, dick refused to pay for my tow when the after market supercharger that he just replace went out within a month and was still on a 1 year warranty? Take your bmw mini elsewhere and save yourself a headache. They don't know Jack except to look at YouTube videos to diagnose your precious car's problems. read more

I didn't get any service from them per se, but I thought they deserve a review for the time they spent on the phone to help me with the questions I had. My brakes started making squeaking noises and my initial thought was that the brakes are worn out. So, I wanted to know how much it'd cost for replacement. After calling Infinite Auto Repair (sorry, I've forgotten the name of the person who talked with me), he assured me that until the brake sensor goes off, it's safe to drive. And also he explained why the brakes would make such a sound before the sensor goes off. I got another issue with my car clarified and for that also, he told me what might be happening and what I could do to fix that. They won't deceive you to get your business. That's for sure. Keep it up, Infinite. read more

Thank you so much Richard and the infinite auto repair tech team. I brought in my Honda Civic because every bump and pot hole I would hit turned my headlights off. During the storm, my headlights went out completely and I was freaking out. Literally, it was pouring rain, I couldn't see, people were Honking and high beaming me as if I didn't know. Ugh. I called Richard instantly, and he reassured me that he could fix it. I didn't have time to drop the car off in the morning, so he accommodated and took my car in late that very night on their secured lot until they opened. The next day, he called and told me the issue and cleared it with me before purchasing the parts needed...unlike other car shops I've been to that would service your car with a bunch of random services and fork you the bill you never agreed to. Infinite auto repair tech showed Great integrity. Not only did he find out what was wrong with my car...(aftermarket lights), rather than sending me off somewhere else, he ordered the part, expedited it, and had my car ready in no time. How amazing! My lights are so much better than what I had. I feel much safer. And he even followed up to see how I liked them. Great customer service. I would highly recommend Richard and infinite auto repair tech to everyone. They are professional, honest, reliable, provide amazing service, accommodating, and really compassionate. I have to say I was pretty dramatic in the rain with no lights, but Richard remained calm, confident, caring and positive. Haha. I've made a great friend and will continue to be a loyal customer. read more

I had them install a full exhaust, lowering springs, aftermarket grill and de badge my Audi A4 and everything was done extremely well and finished within a few hours. Richard was super cool to work with and responded to all my questions and pricing concerns. I will be going here when I get new wheels to install. read more

Richard is a one of a kind mechanic. When I approached him about a TCM issue in my 2004 Audi A4, he didn't shy away from the fix like most other mechanics in the area. He quoted a very fair price for the fix, which included the removal of the unit from under the car, safely packaging it to be sent off to the hardware flashing shop, storage of the car over the weekend, reinstallation of the unit and an oil fill to spec. The team provided a mellow, respectful, and highly productive experience. Without Richard and his team at Infinite Auto Tech, this car would have been parted out and sent to the junkyard. Instead, it passed smog perfectly and has been on the road for 9 months. If you need an honest mechanic with honest prices, you've found one. read more

All i can say is Thank You!richard and his team are superb!great autoshop!no bullshit!you reading this,dont hesitate just call richard and he will help you the best way they can..honest and no overpricing!fare fight for your wallet! thank you again richard and your team,merry christmas and happy new year in advance! read more

This is probably my favorite auto repair shop. My car tire popped then cut through the brake and needed to be replaced. I called a different shop and waited for someone to come take a look at the car before wasting money towing it anywhere and kept getting rescheduled. Luckily, I found Infinite and they quickly helped me get my car towed and and fixed so I don't have to hold on to my car rental for long. The shop is nice and clean. The owner and employees are super nice and professional. I would totally recommend them to anyone. read more

Highly recommended! Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Been going there for all my S4 upgrade and service needs.

Took my Audi S5 here to have exhaust and spacers installed. Great price, friendly employees, and quality work. Very satisfied! Thanks again guys for the great work! Will definitely recommend! read more

Five Stars!! I am so happy with the service Richard and his team provided! I took my car in for an oil change, and during the test drive they found it was making a noise. At first Richard told me he thinks it sounds like a wheel bearing and quoted me a fair price... a couple weeks later I took it in to have the bearing replaced and after they disassembled my car they found it was not a bearing, it is a couple bad tires. My car was reassembled and without charge!! Richard told me I should replace my tires and it will fix the problem! As a girl that knows nothing about cars any other shop could have taken my money and I would not have known anything was up! At Infinite Auto Repair in north San Jose you never have to worry about being charged inappropriately, they are honest hard working guys and I am so happy to have a great shop/ mechanic I can trust to help me!! Thank you! I highly recommend infinite auto repair, they are the best!!! read more

I had a flat tire this morning. They got it fixed in 5 minutes and didn't charge me. I felt so blessed being nearby their shop. Shop owner and the employees were very nice and professional. I recommend it. By the way, I have never seen such a clean shop in my life. They are amazing. read more

It's difficult to find a honest mechanic but you will definitely find that with Richard. I remember him from my early Audi days at DSR and heard from another enthusiast that he had a repair shop right near my house! I have to say his pricing is reasonable (I received quotes from 2 other shops) and I will be sure to bring my car back to him. I won't hesitate to recommend his shop either. Why the one less star? Well, last year, one of his techs drove my car and misjudged how close he was to a lamp post in their parking lot. It looked minor, but had to repaint and remove a dent from my front bumper. Suffice to say, Richard made things right and I've brought my car back to him twice since. I'm thinking of bringing my other car to him to install some springs in the near future :) read more

Don't often write reviews often but the service i received at Infinite Auto Repair was great and informative. i went there for a simple GIAC flash which was provided by DC quickly and without wait. he also was able to give me a cheaper rate considering i wanted to flash my ecu to a lower tier profile. my first impression being someone who is a bit O.C.D is that this has to be one of the cleanest shops i've had the pleasure of being in. however, the main reason i giving this review was because i had a couple questions about my brakes that i personally did and he was able to inform me not only about the process he personally uses but the reason as to why it needs to be done a certain way. He took 20-30 mins out of his own way to help inform me on what to do and you can see he is someone who enjoys cars and really knows the science behind it. all in all great shop and great experience! read more

Richard and his team did a great job working on my Porsche and Corvette. Friendly and professional - I highly recommended them for all your automotive needs! read more

Recently when my car failed it's smog exam, I was in a bind and needed 2 codes fixed. I called up Infinite since I hate dealing with dealerships, and right away I felt at ease talking to Richard about my car issues. Richard was open and honest with me about my car issues along with what the parts would cost and what timeframe his shop could complete the labor. I liked what he said and brought my car in the next morning. Boom! My car was done that same day and Richard spent some time explaining to me the work they had done. I plan on doing more work with this shop when the need arises. In case you're wondering, my car passed it's smog test with flying colors. read more

Infinite Auto Repair is a great shop. Have known Dick for a long time now and would highly recommend him to everyone! What you can expect: Wealth of information Honesty Integrity Respect Courteous Job done right the first time Many of the above are not the norm in the Automotive Service Industry. Glad I found their Yelp page to leave thim a stellar review. Keep up the great work guys! read more
