Where do I start? I took my car in for the oil change service. My car is a vw convertable, and she is my baby. She isn't driven everyday and has very low miles for a 2014. Mike is the most thorough meticulous car technician I know. I was taking my car to Covina VW for 12 years. Until I met Mike. His technicians provide superior service and I will not take my car anywhere else. It was a fluke that I found this shop, and I thank God that I did! read more

It's great to have a place to take your car to where you feel you are in good hands. Mike knows his stuff and runs a good honest business. I feel his prices are fair and he is a very respectful and kind individual. read more

Ok I don't normally give reviews. But we were so pleasantly surprised by Mike's service that we had to do something to support this shop. He fixed our car for a fair price in decent time. He also kept us informed and comforted through the whole process. Then, we were back and well on our way to vacation read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. I cannot recommend Mike and Akbar Auto Service enough. When my brother, who had terminal cancer, expressed his wish to have his Tahoe running one last time so he could drive it through the mud like we used to when we were younger, I was overwhelmed with both grief and hope. He passed before he could fix it himself. Most shops probably would have dismissed a 2000 Tahoe as not worth the effort, but Mike treated me and my request with the utmost respect and compassion. Mike and his team went above and beyond, repairing the air conditioning water pump, gas pump., Installed a new transmission, starter, replaced spark plugs,replaced hoses, brakes and a new timing belt. He assured me that the Tahoe would run like new and would be safe to drive.He 1000% Delivered.The care, patience, and understanding he showed throughout the process helped me navigate an emotional time and allowed me to fulfill my brother's last wish. Mike is not just a skilled mechanic; he is a genuinely kind, compassionate, and decent human being. He helped me dry my tears and breathe again, and I will always be eternally grateful for his generosity, professionalism, and heart. If you want an automotive shop that truly cares, look no further than Akbar Auto Services at 1076 W 9th St Upland, CA 91786 Janet Wolfe read more

Being a single and getting laid off for work, leaving this review because I feel I was overcharged for brake and rotor replacement. I paid $1,200 for the service, and after comparing prices with other shops, this seems significantly higher than average. Unfortunately, this left me feeling disappointed with the experience read more

We were looking for a new, local, honest mechanic and I think we found one in Mike Akbar. We saw Mike in IG and liked his message. We stopped in (bc we had to) two days before Xmas. We had unknown engine problems, there was a knocking sound in the engine, and our lights were out. Mike quoted us a price, fixed the car and had it back in one day, before Xmas, and under the price he quoted us. Now, I'm sure that's good sales tactics, 'quote high and bill low' but there were a few things he could have done to the car... that I asked him to do, that didn't need to be done. I asked him to replace the fog lights but they were working properly and don't need it (my d.a. didn't know there was a trick to turning them on!). I also asked for a quote for shocks and struts as the guys from "Bep Poys" have been telling me I need to get done. His quote was half of the price I got from "my three best friends," and he said he's going to shop for a better/lower price for the parts. We also had a great conversation about things other than car repair: archeology, theology, family, vintage cars, and the holidays. We had a few similar opinions and a few different but we had a great, intelligent conversation about a lot of interesting subjects. I really like the fact that my new mechanic has an honest and efficient shop and a thoughtful, say knowledgeable, and reasonable head on his shoulders. All in all, I fully recommend Mike and his shop and I'm actually looking forward to taking my car back in the shop! Ha! Thank Mike & Crew read more

I'm so thankful that Argenis from CA Motors has Mike as one of their Extended Warranty Service Vendors!!!! Mike has been transparent and upfront and gave me the best recommendations concerning any possible maintenance to my vehicle. He went beyond the call of service and responded to my texts/calls quickly!! Thank you Mike!! Kenny (KO) read more

Moved to the area a few years ago. During that time, I bought my wife a new Lexus. Now that the maintenance plan is running out at the dealership, I started looking around for a someone to take over the maintenance on it. Mike Akbar came across my social media and after my research, I decided I was gonna start taking her car there. Before I started taking her car there, the transmission went out on my Camry. I commute 160 miles a day, so it is important that I stay on top of the maintenance. Had the car towed to Mike and all I can say is, Mike is an honest man in a world that has a reputation of not being so honest. I never had to call for an update on my car, because he kept me well informed on what was happening. Mike takes a very personal approach to his customers vehicles, and he got my car back on the road as quick as possible and with making sure a quality repair was done. I have 5 years until retirement, and trust Mike and his team to try to make my Camry last till then. read more

Mike has taken care of my daughter's car for years. Always honest, repair work is "Perfection"!!! It is reassuring to have someone with excellent skills so close by read more

Mike is like family. I have know him for over 20-years. He is an honest and caring mechanic and doesn't over charge ppl. He left for a while and now he is back with more energy and willing to fix my cars without delays. He can be trusted and knows how to fix all brands of cars. Mike you're the best and welcome back my friend. You have been missed sir read more

Phew, Mike is back in town! The best shop in town, and a what relief from other and unreliable BMW shops around. I've had numerous problems with local BMW shops, and the last one ended with a broken transmission. Though the shop said it was not related to the maintenance done just the day before (hmmm, strange, huh?) it failed while I was driving south on the 15 freeway. IN THE MIDDLE LANE. WITH CRAZY TRAFFIC DOING OVER 80 MPH. COST $600 TO TOW BACK TO THE SHOP. This would NEVER happen at Mike's shop. Another BMW shop damaged the door panel while they were replacing the window motor, did not refund any part of the bill, but gave me a coffee mug as compensation. I ended the business relationship when I had too many suspicious and very expensive "issues" with the car. So yeah, it's a big relief to know my favorite mechanic is back in town with a brand-spankin' new shop. Thanks Mike! read more

So I found Mr. Mike on Instagram, Something about him felt like he was going to be sincere and honest. Well I was right, He has help us with our daughter's car twice. I got to say I feel great about his prices but most importantly He has done a wonderful job, fixing her brakes and her brackets to her alternator. I really recommend him and his crew. Mike is a very genuine person, trust worthy. I am so glad we found him. In life you always need a good mechanic . read more

Finding a trustworthy mechanic to work on your family's cars can be a real challenge. My old mechanic retired, and I've been to a few repair shops with our cars. Mike was upfront and honest about what needed to be done, explaining the repairs and showing me the replaced parts when completed. I took the car in later in the day, and parts needed to be ordered. So, I left the car overnight and picked it up at lunch. I can't thank Mike and his crew enough for their excellent service. read more
