I brought my car in once for a quick consultation a few months ago, just to get a feel for the place and they were nice. Today was my first time getting a 50,000 mile maintenance service on my vehicle and I am so happy I have a regular spot to go to for my car now. Service was very kind and professional. Run by a father and son. Excellent communication with a text-able phone number and a listed page of services with pricing... both of them had super calm tones in their speaking voices, which I really liked. As a new lady client, I got very good vibes and felt that they were trustworthy with a good reputation. I even learned some maintenance tips for my car. Definitely will be booking my regular car services with Mangale Motors... thank you so much John and Jeff! read more

Not only are they friendly and knowledgeable, but they fixed the horn on my CMAX as I'd asked and nothing else unnecessary-- fast and efficiently. They made further recommendations too. Very easy to talk with and understanding. read more

I am so glad that I stopped at Mangale motors I have driven past here for years. My truck blew a head gasket. They took my truck in I just rolled in no appointment and they took my truck.I told them to look at it and whatever else they see it might need i was ok with it. They sent estimate and when it would be ready. Fair price very clean work communication was great no surprises and no BS just a great place i am comfortable and trust them with there quality of work. I will be bringing all my cars to them now great employees also . read more

I got professional and quick service . Highly recommend! They even gave me coffee while I waited. Thank you again !

I own a older mini cooper and her a/c hasn't worked since I bought her. Fun car but not a driver if it's warm. I dropped it off and they found compressor was leaking badly. They quickly got a new one and then texted me that the rear struts were gone. With 150000 miles I wasn't surprised. So they went and replaced them then texted they were done only a few hours later. I picked car up same day and noticed they did an oil change too. What an amazing shop. These people really care. The price was fair and work exceptional. She's a blast to drive again but I need to get a sweater. read more

These people were amazing. My aircondioning went out Wednesday. I went to my mechanic who said maybe next week. These guys diagnosed problem and texted me the bad news within 2 hours. New compressor... coming from dealer Thursday can have it repaired by Friday afternoon. Needles to say they found my accessory belt was in need of replacement and my brakes would need attention soon. So thankful for their thoroughness. Repairs completed by 2 pm Friday and I'm home sipping a brew by 3. Great people, excellent mechanics I will be referring people to this business! Wish I could give more than 5 stars read more

This is a quality repair shop. I am very pleased with the engine work performed on my truck at a reasonable price. I am the original owner of a 2000 F-150 with 350k miles. For the past three months I was getting a check engine light with PO171 and PO174 lean codes. I spoke with Jeff and set up an appointment for the following week to replace my intake manifold gaskets which were leaking badly (smoke test). I had already replaced many engine parts myself but did not want to tackle this large of a project. Well, after I got my truck back from the shop it drove very good with no error codes but I needed to drive it for a week to see if I got any more codes. I again got a PO171 code. Disappointed, I went to my Ford dealer and purchased Bank 1 and Bank 2, O2 upstream sensors and replaced them myself. It has been a few weeks now and I no longer have any check engine lights (CEL). I can now finally go get my truck smogged. My truck drives like I can go another 100k miles. Thank you again John and Jeff ! read more

Excellent service from Jeff! Super professional diligent service reasonable prices. I will always be taking my cars to them I trust them with all my car needs. Jeff went above and beyond with my Honda super happy with their work! read more

I've lived in Hayward most of my life, been to numerous repair shops that either overcharged me or really had no idea what they were doing, & had no idea this place was right around the corner from where I live. A good friend of mine recommended me to try this shop out, since my car was having some brake trouble, and when I tell you that not only was my car fixed completely, but was repaired in a jiffy! Jeff was the one who helped me out, answered all of my questions, & even gave me great suggestions to help my car run better in the long-run. Not to mention, great customer service, & the shop had a family-homey feeling. Will be coming back here for sure! read more

I always struggle and stress when it comes to car issues and I was so relieved the instant I called Mangale Motors. The crew is great and made me feel at ease leaving my new vehicle with them. They made it easy to communicate with them over text, and got me in and out sooner than expected! They made me feel like they were telling me what was going on with my vehicle and not pressuring me into any other services. I asked them for their advice and they gave me great feedback for further maintenance on my Nissan Rogue. Thank you so much, I will be back and I'm telling my friends :) read more

Been going here for a couple years and they've been great at keeping my little versa running smooth. Good prices, friendly staff, professional & high quality work -- everything I could hope for from a mechanic! read more

This father and son duo get the job done and are very communicative and fair. I don't trust my car with anyone but them.

Jeff was super helpful during the process of servicing my car, before and after. He maintained communication with me via text and phone call and was quick to answer any of my questions in full detail before I agreed to any work being done. I've had so much trouble with my Ford Escape and he was able to effectively service my car within a few days. Jeff kept great professionalism and his service was an overall pleasant experience. I will definitely be returning to him for future maintenance. read more

Wow! I mean Wow!!! I am so glad I found this place. My son is at Cal State East Bay and his car battery died and I needed to get this fixed ASAP. I called Mangale on a Monday evening at like 4:45 they close at 5... and they answered. The guy was so amazing and I was thinking he's going to rush me or can't help me. Nope! Complete opposite. He stayed on the phone with me, got all my information, told me what he needed, I text him the information, and no joke he literally had the battery overnighted. That's some amazing customer service. The car was towed, he texted me as soon as it arrived, and boom just like that a few hours later the car was done and ready. Ohhhh and, he gave me a quote on Monday (in writing) and that is what he charged me. Holy Smokes I was so impressed with this shop. I can't say enough good things about it. I highly recommend them to everyone. I will 100% use them for everything while my son is at the school. read more

I saw a lot of good reviews so I decided to give them a call and ask an estimate for a transmission fluid and filter service on my car. I was baffle when I saw the price wasn't sure if that was the real price for getting my service done. So I did some research before I start considering done the service. The filter he charges me the original price 364 when it on sale online on their website 239.80. He also charge me 30.46 quarts so I needed 7 the total 213.22. But 30..46 for a quart? Plus it's not the correct transmission he putting in my car. Thats what it shows me online. So im just gonna pass on this read more

Found our official mechanic here in the bay! Normally, I bring our car to our my hometown, but with the pandemic, I've been pushing off getting work done. I finally pulled the trigger and found Mangale Motors. Jeff was responsive and straight forward. He didn't try to oversell anything, just let me know what I wanted (in regards to services) and what my car seemed to be due for. He didn't pressure me to purchase anything I didn't need. My biggest thing I needed was to have my car picked up by a certain time because of daycare pickup. Jeff was very accommodating and understood my urgency of the hours I could leave my car with him. The texting update feature they have is great too! Definitely recommend Mangale Motors to be your official mechanic too. read more

I wanted to like and support this small business, but I can't recommend going here. My car didn't pass smog and I needed to get it diagnosed and repaired. They said I needed a new spark plug and then quoted me $404...to install a spark plug. When I decided to go elsewhere they charged me $125 just for the diagnosis. I recommend going down the street to Hayward Smog Auto Repair, where they quoted $125 for the diagnosis and repair. The nice thing about this place is that they were open on a Saturday and looked at my car right away, but coming here was a waste. It's just another auto repair shop ripping people off. Update: After I left my review, this business started sending me texts with threats and accusations. My review was honest, and I am an honest customer who gave your business a chance. Please stop harassing me and improve your customer service. read more

Mangale Motors - Auto Repair Near Me - Hayward, California

I worked with the owner's son for a while a nearly 4 years ago. He referred to his father's shop, Mangale Motors, when I mentioned that I was having issues with my 2013 Mazda3. Since that time, I have brought all of my cars here for very good reasons. John and Jeff are a father and son combo - their name is on the shop and they hold a strong reputation for transparency, fair and competitive pricing, and ASE-level work. They are ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified, which is important because it indicates they have spent at least a year studying hard to learn how to properly fix cars. Jeff has 12+ years of experience under his belt, and John has way way more - he started his business out of his garage was able to grow it to a full-fledged auto shop! When you bring my car in, they may ask a lot of questions about what issues your car is encountering because they are big on making sure they properly diagnose the issue. They can also inspect your car and tell you what issues you might have that you may not have noticed. They strongly emphasize preventative maintenance to prevent potential issues in the future. They are super knowledgeable with their craft and can tell you why something needs to be fixed or replaced and the potential benefits or consequences of doing / not doing a job. I love listening to their explanations, and they will let you know whether something NEEDS to be fixed or whether it can be held off for a period of time. On top of that, they are both awesome people! I've spoken to both of them a lot when I visit. It's always great to catch up with them. They provide stellar customer service and I have referred all of my local family and friends to this shop. read more

Very good shop! have my AC diagnosed and repaired, very satisfied with the service. reasonable price. owner is very kind.

My husband and I were looking for a shop to assess the issue with our Expedition's AC. It stopped working suddenly and after being charged an arm and a leg for an AC compressor just 3 years ago.... Ugh!!!! Not sure what the issue is on why the Ac appears to always go out every couple of years but it's getting old! In any event, it's never easy to find a honest auto repair shop that is also professional. We really wanted to have this issue looked at this weekend because we were heading to the desert next month and will definitely need the air conditioner in that sweltering heat. So, I went on Yelp and messaged a few auto shops and Mangle Motors were ones to respond quickly to my message for an estimate with a fair quote and they were able to take a look today. SCORE!!! So, we brought out car in. I'm so glad that we went with Mangale Motors. They were fair, professional and honest. We worked with the owner, Jeff and he kept us well informed by text what was going to happen and he was upfront in letting us knothatif the first option didn't work which was recharging the AC, it may require a valve replacement and provided me with two quotes. One for the recharging which came with other services like diagnostics etc. and a second quote if the rear expansion valve needed to be replaced but that was a big " IF" the recharging didn't resolve the issue. Thank goodness the recharging worked which was a huge relief. It's unfortunate that most mechanics tend to oversell and overcharge but I think we found a new place for our auto needs!! I totally would recommend Mangale Motors!! read more

Had my 2016 Volkswagen GTI's DSG transmission serviced and spark plugs replaced here and they did an excellent job. Told me exactly what spark plugs and fluids they would use and I was able to receive text updates from them and text them back. Great transparency. Price was very reasonable - considerably cheaper than "German specialty" shops. They even replaced my sh**ty dealer license plate with their own! If your mechanic isn't smoking a cig when you pick it up your car find a new one! read more

Real good team here, I came to them with issues my car was having after another company damaged my car causing shortages and fuses to blow at random. So frustrating!!!! Crew here spend way more time than needed or billed for to help Fix the issues and get my car working again. read more

I have never had any car repairs done since I moved to Hayward, am a single chica and always worry about being taken advantage of. The men who run Mangale were kind, informative, and quick! I got my brakes done and they went above and beyond by texting me the estimate prior to my appointment, working to accommodate my work hours (I'm a nanny and need my car), and sending me an article about the parts they'd be working on. I felt like I was having family help me! I will now be going to them for future car care and am happy I found a place I could trust. read more

Jeff is great! Family owned shop and they go above and Beyond for their customers! Anyone in this area. Highly recommend

1600.00 to fix my fuel pump, I'm a lady, did I get ripped off? I don't know, but my car works again So 1600 to not die on the side of road might be worth it read more

Jeff fixed my 2003 Acura MDX's power steering system and Fixed the A/C on it. He did a great job and i will definitely bring my cars back for any repairs or upgrades. Thanks again Jeff. P.S unfortunately someone busted my locks on the MDX so i am here again and Jeff taking care of business once again himself and his pops. thanks guys for the great service! read more

I would not recommend using Mangale Motors for any work you want done on your car. We went there last month because our car was stalling. We were charged over $3000 for repairs and were told that the issue was fixed and we should not see any more problems. A month later, the problem showed up again and we were told there was another issue and they wanted to charge us another $1000. Total rip-off for the work done and nothing was resolved. Will never use them again and don't recommend them to anybody! read more

Mangale is the place to bring your car if you're in need of a reliable car shop/mechanic. I went on a late Saturday afternoon initially for a last-minute oil change and they were able to take my van for service. I have to give this shop props coz my van barely had a working battery which I mentioned to John as he's doing intake for it. I gave a quick info on the van's history and how it will likely need more work. John sent me a list of items my vehicle needed and everything was solid. Some shops you get a sense that they tag on unnecessary services but not at Mangale's. John also worked to ID some issue the van had so i can get a smog check for it. Short summary--the guys at Mangale got my 2004 van squared away. As I brought it to the smog test station, the guy there was confident that the van would pass especially since the guys at Mangale worked on it. Yep, it did! Happy I chanced by this shop. They definitely gained another loyal customer. read more

Mangale Motors was recommended to me by my daughter who is friends with one of the owners' spouse. In that the business also had excellent Yelp and Google reviews, I decided to take my vehicle to have it serviced. I drove 35 miles to Hayward to drop off my car, 2011 Nissan Altima 3.5 sr, for the following work - tune up, coolant exchange, CVT fluid exchange, and diagnosis of rattling from what I believed to be early stage catalytic converter issue. (Note: I had taken my car to the dealership previously to ask them to check on the rattling sound only to have them state that they did not notice it nor were they able to replicate it.) I dropped the vehicle off at 8am with John, one of the owners. I received a call from Jeff, the mechanic/co-owner, confirming with me the scope of work as well as inquiring in detail about rattling noise that I was hearing. He stated that the code reader did not show any issues with the catalytic converter. I described for him when the rattling is most noticeable. He stated that he would let the car sit for a bit and would try to listen for the sound again as well as to put it on the lift to check underneath. If he found the cause, he would get back to me. We agreed that if he was not able to find anything that it was best not to replace the catalytic converter. At this time Jeff stated he would provide to me an estimate for the work which he did in a timely manner which was through a link via text message. Given the amount of work to be performed, the vehicle had to be left overnight at the shop. The following morning I received a text message stating that my car was ready for pickup. I arrived and spoke to Jeff who was very detailed and patient in describing the work that was performed. He gave me recommendations regarding frequency of CVT fluid exchange and also where to purchase gas because certain gas stations have better additives/detergents which ultimately optimized the engine's performance. BONUS - Jeff cleaned the throttle body and did not charge me for his time or for the supplies that were required. He also check the air filter and also my tire pressure which he filled to the recommended PSI. Rattling sound - to my amazement, Jeff was able to find the cause of the rattling sound that the dealership was not able to. It was a mount on the catalytic converter that "lost its weld." Jeff gave the mount back to me, pointed out where on the piece the rattling had occurred, and advised that I have a muffler shop re-weld and secure the mount. Jeff stated he would have done this for me except that his shop does not perform welding. Needless to say I was just pleased that Jeff was able to identify the problem and that it did not require me to replace the catalytic converter. In summary, I am most satisfied with the customer service that I received from Mangale Motors. John made the intake and checkout process seamless. Jeff did an amazing job working on my vehicle, giving me service advice, and being patient with me and generous with his time. I cannot have asked for a better customer experience. Thus, I highly recommend you use Mangale Motors when you are in need of having your vehicle worked on. If you do, I am confident that you will have the same level of customer satisfaction as I. read more

Very personable and flexible Staff! Highly recommend their services to anyone who has a mishap with their vehicle. Thanks

I've been coming to Mangale motors for a little over 2 years now. All my vehicles have been brought here for repairs. Most times I bring the parts myself and just pay the labor, others the shop provides the parts if I'm unable to get them. I was referred over by RBMS motors after they were book out a whole month, and I'm glad they referred me. This is a great, honest, family owned business that won't screw you over in pricing. If anything else needs to be repaired or if they have any concerns they always text me before performing any work on my vehicles. Communication and service is definitely a 10/10 and would recommend to anyone. read more

Very reliable, have been taking my car here for years and they're always very good about explaining options on any repairs.

I brought my 2 old cars to this shop that is running by Father and son, for brake and axle repairs. The first impression that I have ever had in a Auto repair shop was the great customer service. The second impression was the professionalism and how fast this gentleman are in doing repairs. They are other issues that involved the excellent service they provide , that once you bring your vehicle will be easy to recognized. I highly recommend this shop and if it was 6 stars , definitely I would have marked. Thank you John and Jeff for your great service. read more

My husband and I have been putting off fixing our Durango, because we're afraid we'd be paying over $5-10k in repairs. Every oil change we've gotten at different locations they would tell us that we have to pay about that price. I found Mangale Motors on Yelp and seen they got amazing ratings, so we called to schedule an appointment to do a diagnostic of everything that is wrong with our car. Wow! Were impressed. I love how he uses text messaging to communicate with us on his findings. He let us know the estimated cost for each repair prior to repairing and everything is so detailed on what needed to be repaired. At the end, cost for every repair was cheaper than we thought. We're happy with Mangales service! Well for sure be back! read more

When the squeaking coming from my car got too loud to ignore I knew it was time to bring it somewhere......but the only problem was WHERE?! There isn't anything more stressful that a problem with your car and more added stress is finding a trust worthy, reliable and professional place to bring it to......luckily I found my place..... I went to another auto repair place in Newark to get an estimate on how much my car repair would be (it turned out to be my brakes). The estimate was free but took 45 minutes. After my estimate, which was an incredible $300+ it would be almost 3 hours to complete!!! I ended up leaving that place and found Mangale Motors. The owner Jeff was more than happy to help me fix my brakes and get me in and out as quickly as possible. I arrived, we discussed the problem, he gave me a reasonable estimate and within a matter of hours my car was as good as new. I can't express how lucky I am to have found an auto repair shop that I can trust. The manual labor per hour (roughly $89) is waaaaayyyyy cheaper than most I've seen. Jeff is a honest guy who you can trust with your car. Any issues with my car I know who I'm bringing it to..... read more

Mangale Motors - Auto Repair Near Me - Hayward, California

I plan on updating this post after my repairs are finished, but so far so good! prompt service by John & Jeff So far, I believe this was a good choice . i wanted to wait a few days to write this, mostly as a 'just in case something happens' , thing. happily, that is not the case with my experience thus far. i went in and spoke to John, who seemed to have a pretty good handle on things, and we both concluded a new belt and water pump should solve the noise i was hearing. with 10% off thats 250ish - very cool . but after they started getting into my 2007 honda civic engine with 159k, the problem was worse that originally noticed. Now $875 with discount - damn. my car runs good now . probably needs a belt tightening because it makes that one sound in the morning still till it warms up . good enough experience? OH - and a license plate holder was added, that i didnt notice till after selling my soul to pay for my car . kinda lame without asking, but otherwise whatever / mehh read more
