    Pic of my engine bay after they deep cleaned it free of charge to figure out where my weird oil leak was coming from
    Ming Q.

    Loved working with these folks. Brought in a 2004 Honda Civic. Came in with a complicated scraping-noise and oil leak issue that last few mechanics have not been able to figure out (and one issue that was caused by my last one that they couldn't fix). They did a deep clean of the engine bay to figure out where the oil leak was coming from (never had a mechanic bother to do that - usually they just resorted to 'it's a head gasket' when I knew it wasn't). They were transparent about pricing. Had to leave the car longer in the shop then expected but they provided a nice loaner car in the mean-time. Figured out via process of elimination that the issue was with my oil pump. Gave me my old parts to examine as requested, and I verified they were the real deal. Shout-out to Jude for being the most communicative and clear mechanic I've ever worked with! Will be back for sure. This place is also pretty busy so you may have to wait a bit for service - but they're busy for good reason! Pic attached of the cleanest my engine bay has ever been - at 200k miles! Thank you!

    The codes my car was throwing before the diverter valve was replaced by Howie and his team.
    Paul G.

    Took my GTI here to get the diverter valve replaced, my car was throwing 2 engine codes related to pressure and I suspected the diverter valve had broke. The car was ready within an hour and I was charged $125 for labor (I supplied the part). Lo and behold the engine codes were no longer present. Other shops were trying to charge me $250+ for labor. To further drive the point on how competitive their pricing is; I received several quotes from highly rated shops in the Bay Area for a spark plug and coilpack replacement. (labor only) ranging from $325-$400. Howie quoted me $125-$175. For those who aren't aware, this is about a 1-1 1/2 hour job and an easy DIY (I would've done it myself if my wrist wasn't sprained). So Howie's pricing is competitive. They order their parts direct from the dealership and therefore provide a warranty for the OEM parts and their labor. They're also one of few shops that installs customer provided parts. They also had a few older Porsches, tuner and project cars on their lot - which says a lot about their work. These guys are legit. Glad to say I've found a trust worthy shop that I'll be taking GTI and any future cars to. If you don't want to to get bent over by the dealership or German "specialty" shops JST Autocars has you covered. Howie is a friendly dude and honest about his team's work and the quotes they provide.

    My car was due for a brake job and brake fluid flush. I bought a set performance brake kit and when I was ready I brought my car in to get serviced. I spoke with Howie who is the owner. He gave me the BEST price for labor work. Other auto repair shops were expensive. His team did a great job! They were able to get the job done quite quickly and effectively. They are Very knowledgeable. They specialize in Japanese and foreign cars. They also are able to work on Tesla vehicles. The shop also offers really great LED bulbs kits for the interior and exterior. I will bring my car in the future for more work when needed. Highly recommend!

    How much is to check my engine light (and airbag) on a Mini Cooper S 2011? It comes and go, now having power issues!

    Hello there we charge an hourly diagnostic fee. Typically just to check the engine light, if it’s a simple OBDII scan, we don’t charge but an appointment must be made online at our website first.

    Do you guys repair rim scratches? How much to repair a rim scratch from curb?

    Yes.

    This is part one of two parts to my Review as the repair of…read moremy car hasn't been completed. As of today Sam (who I believe is in charge, not sure if he's the owner) has been the only contact with the shop, has had my car for twelve weeks now with nothing completed.he diagnosed the problem the first day, gave me a quote. I zelled him a deposit, enough for the part and the labor. Five weeks later he informed me that the part had arrived, it was installed but didn't fix the problem. He explained the part was poorly rebuilt and needed to be returned and we had to wait for the refund to order a different part. At this time he informed me that the shop would be closed to honor the lunar new year. This was week seven when they returned to work still waiting for the refund to show up. It's was week nine he let me know that he couldn't find the part we needed and he had used my deposit money to pay bills and dint have any left to buy the part. To continue with the repair he said I had to find the part and pay for it on top of the $2000 I'd already gave him. Week ten I found the part , paid for it. A week later the part vendor located in Germany canceled my purchase stating the war in Iran made it too expensive to ship the part" find one in your own country " he's said. So I found the part , paid again and the part arrived at the begining of week twelve. After having the part in hand and knowing I've been without a car for three months he says he'll see if he can get me scheduled at the end of the week which at best the repair will continue into week thirteen. I've asked when he actually had me scheduled for and why couldn't he schedule me sooner? This was Monday the same day as the part arrived. He didn't respond until Tuesday when he said he was working on it so I could have my car to drive on Wednesday. Wednesday I called to see how it went and he said he'll text me later with an update. It's now Thursday of that week , I asked what's up and his response was and is " for me to relax, he's working on it. Sam has been rude. He's ignored me, he's disregarded what i wanted done and did what he wanted to my car. He took money from inted for parts that he never paid for and spent it on himself or the shop bills . I then paid for the parts additionally. He wont produce any kind of invoice to keep track of spenderatures. I've requested several times . When I told him he no longer has any authorization to do any more work on my car. The next text he sent me said he was going to work on my car anyway. I told him I was picking up my car to have it ready to be towed elsewhere. I'm so mad I can't even think. To be continued

I took my BMW one morning to get brake pads and rotors changed. I had taken it to a few other places and all of them wanted me to change all the pads and rotors. Nasir was very honest and told me my rear brake pads and rotors only needed changing. He showed me the wear and tear and explained the process. I was so pleased that he took the time to actually assess my car instead of just putting on extra services. He then ordered the parts and was able to get the job done on the same day in about 1.5 hours. My car drives so much more smoothly and I can feel the difference in my rear brakes! I was so relieved and the process was SO fast! My husband took in his Civic Type R to get his fenders rolled. Nasir and Bilal did a great job with that whole process and he got his car back the same day. He also had his rear brake pads done and was pleased with the entire service. The prices are quite affordable and fair- and most importantly they only do what is necessary. There is also a Yelp deal going on right now too :) I highly recommend First Auto Tire & Wheel for all car needs. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Nasir and Bilal!

Mr. Bacon was friendly and showed me the quote up front. Not bad for a full synthetic oil change these days. Only remark is that they called me when it was done.

When I walked in, I was immediately told they could not do the oil change and that I would need to leave the car for about four hours. Naturally, I asked what the purpose of making an appointment was. The employee then told me they do not make appointments for fleet vehicles because the car is an Avis rental. However, this was my fourth time bringing this same vehicle in for an oil change, and each time I scheduled an appointment online without any issue. Driving 70+ miles, spending gas and time, only to be turned away makes absolutely no sense. If fleet vehicles are not eligible for appointments, why is there a fleet vehicle checkbox in the online booking system if the appointment will not be honored? This experience was extremely frustrating and felt like a complete waste of my time and fuel. Businesses should honor the appointments their system allows customers to make or clearly state the policy before someone drives over an hour for service.
