I live an hour away now and I will still continue driving out to take my car here !

Saved me $1414 getting my car fixed here! I had no idea that the other auto mechanic I've been…read moregoing to was so expensive. Someone recommended 1701 so I decided to give it a try. I made a call and the same repair that I was quoted as $480 at another local auto repair shop, Sebastian quoted me as about $250 dollars. And then the other repair of the right and left arms for some part of the engine that I was quoted as $1184 by the other Auto shop, Sebastian told me that it's normal wear and doesn't need to be repaired yet. Now it makes sense that the previous repair shop wanted to charge me $50 per bulb to put in when my bulbs went out on my car. So I went and got the bulbs myself at O'Reilly's and put them in myself the first time until I found out O'Reillys offers complementary bulb replacement. Between 1701 and O'Reillys, I think I may be able to survive and keep my car running. Grateful for honest affordable 1701 Auto Care! Thank you, Sebastian.

This week my husband came in the shop for the exact same repair, and was quoted ~600. Interesting. When he came to pick it up after the repair, he walked in on the office woman talking to the male owner about how they overcharged me the first time. The repair was good both times, but don't waste your money here. I won't get that extra ~200 back, but the mental image of the lady jumping out of her skin with fright as my husband caught her admitting to the overcharge is priceless. Warms my heart lol.

The shop that originally mounted my tires is in Fremont, but living in Oakland I needed somewhere closer. AVN was referred to me by Car Care Service. AVN is efficient w/ good service. I needed tires mounted & balanced, TPMS setup, and an alignment, and they got it all done in an hour and change. I showed up at the beginning of my appointment window and they were ready to go. Their pricing is straightforward & upfront, no hidden fees/surprises. As far as I can tell, everything was done perfectly. I'm not out here checking torque specs but I feel I can trust their work based on the referral and reviews. After everything was done they were also able to get a new tire mounted on my full-size spare. I will be back because I forgot to ask them to unmount the tires from my stock rims. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone looking to get tire/alignment service.

AVN is trustworthy and dependable…read more They provided tires and care for my minivan for 10 years. Today I brought in my new to me (used) sporty car because the tire warning light indicated a problem. AVN located and removed a nail and patched the tire. They also pointed out a missing lug and a stripped lug on another wheel.* No charge. I don't mean to claim that they never charge for patches, but I do want to point out that they treat their regulars well. Vo and I discussed the condition of my current tires and various options for eventual replacements. He was well informed and gave clear advice with no sales pitch. AVN's tire supplier's warehouse is on Bay Farm, so if you need tires that aren't in stock onsite, it's very likely that they could be delivered within 30-60 minutes. There's a lot to like about AVN. * Bonus Review: Alex's crew at Diamond Auto (where I purchased my car) replaced 2 lugs. If you're looking for a reliable used car salesman, I recommend Alex.

The most overwhelming selection of oils and additives that you could ever ask for - and they are…read morevery good with accepting oil from people that change their own oil. So many auto parts stores reply 'we don't accept oil right now - all our tanks are full' - and I've never heard that from this location. Its very simple - you drop it off in their original containers and it has to be only oil and there is no issue. Beyond that I went in for some diesel additives for my CDi - I really like that car - it replaced my Pitzaaat and its my freeway cruiser and I know the engine will last to one million miles but the downfall of these cars is always the injection system. It can cost $5k+ to rebuild them and then $3k more for all new fuel hoses and injectors and intake cleaning and so on. In short the low sulfur since 2006 that ruined diesel lubricity and so the wear on the injection pump mostly fails at 200k - 300k when all the rest of the drive train will happily soldier on for many more miles. The only solution is to add something to the diesel fuel: XPD all in one, Hotshots secret everyday or Power Service or similar. I heard even adding a bit of Marvel Myster Oil works but I didn't see the data - I know the above three work and I know that this location has Hotshots and Power Service. I bought a bottle of each and will alternate with ever fill up. While I was there I bought some LiqiMoly for my Honda - Jectron - and while it was in the tank the car ran silly smooth - it usually jitters a little like a person with too much caffeine. Oil brands can be a very divisive topic. As is oil additives. I think in general you don't need them if you go to Chevron and change your oil often. If you have a diesel I would recommend you research the fuel lubricity topic yourself and make your own call on it. If you do buy a new $100k diesel truck - there is a lot at stake that perhaps a $10 bottle could help.

This Matt guy tries to cover up his mistakes. If you you screwed up, which you did, just admit it.

He wants you to change all of the components to make more money. What a scam. Like I said, all of the components he suggested I have NOT changed and the car has over 278,000+ miles since it was improperly fixed. Which I corrected on my own. You're lucky you got 1 star.
