    So after 16 years, the starter on my Honda finally gave out (typical symptom: you turn the key, the dashboard lights up, but it doesn't make the "tuh-tuh-tuh" sound aka silence). Often a weak battery is the culprit, but I figured it was something else as the battery is pretty new (2 years), and the engine cranking ("tuh-tuh-tuh") became slower and slower. My friends tried to jump the battery anyway without any success. So it was off to AAA for a tow to Lou's, whom it's been a while since I've been (fortunately) but remembered from my previous meeting that he's genuine and honest. He has changed locations to a much bigger facility (sounds successful!) including a vehicle lift that looks like it could raise a semi so if you have a huge vehicle, Lou's can likely handle it. The best parts about Lou's is - he responds quickly, honestly, professionally (you're not going to be ghosted); your issues will be fixed (and if it can't be, he'll let you know without wasting your money on unnecessary repairs); and he does his absolute best to make sure you're taken care of - he'll answer any questions you have, he'll listen to any of your concerns, and he'll just do you right as best as possible. I was surprised to be able to be on the road again on the same day and much less worried about being stranded somewhere unable to start :) Thanks again Lou (Luis) and team - hope my car continues to run strong and will come back if any issues arise.

    If I can give zero I would! BE AWARE OF THIS SHOP! I took my 1998 Toyota Camry to California Auto…read moreCenter in Millbrae for an oil change on March 17, 2026. Shortly after the service, my car began leaking oil significantly. Within days, the engine started producing smoke. I had the vehicle inspected by another mechanic, who found that an INCORRECT oil filter had been installed. This improper installation led to oil loss and further engine damage. Prior to this service, I did not have any visible oil leaks (no oil on the ground, no smoke). When I contacted the shop, they denied responsibility and only referred to a "pre-existing leak," without addressing the incorrect oil filter installation at all. They also stopped responding after I provided this information. I have since filed a complaint with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) and am providing documentation and evidence. I recommend being very cautious when considering this shop. THEY ALSO mixed up my service records with a completely different vehicle I owned in the past, which raised concerns about their accuracy!

    I called them around 10am on Fri Jan 2 for a wheel alignment. They were super busy, as I was told,…read morebut could squeeze me in at noon. I had called over a dozen tire places for a wheel alignment and all were too busy to take me. I showed up exactly at noon, had lunch across the street, and got a text that my car was done at 12:45pm. They have a spacious and clean waiting room and what looks to be a well kept garage area. I was completely happy with the fast turn-around and being squeezed in last minute. I also asked if they had time for an oil change, but they weren't able to accomodate me today. Bummer.
