Kudos to Mateen for his customer service and communications! I have an 18 year old Toyota suv (year 2006) that I've changed my own oil and oil filter the last 10+ years. Never hit a problem until today. The old oil filet was so stuck on the engine that the tools I had on hand warped the filter canister, and I couldn't get it out! Panicked, I called around auto shops my home, and Mateen gave me the confidence he can resolve the issue after he listened to my explanation. He's available right away. After filling up my engine with fresh oil, drove down to Moraga Auto Care Solution, Mateen got my stuck filter canister out in 5 min. He quickly put on my new filter and made sure all engine oil was cleaned up under my car! Price he asked for this emergency was also very reasonable and fair! Would love to visit him again if for other future car issues! read more

Moraga Auto Care Solution - Stuck warped engine oil filter that I tightened too much when I did my last oil change. Mateen quickly removed and resolved. - Auto Repair Near Me - Moraga, California

Great job, super fast, reasonable price! I just sat right there while they changed my oil and it was probably 15 mins at most.

He did a great job and not only did he fix the problem, he saved me another $500 by using the same part from the OEM, but with a better price on service. read more

This review is for the gas station/convenience store portion of the business, since it seems the auto service portion is no more. Over the past four years I've been spending about $40 to 60 a week here for my business. I like that I get a cash discount for gas. However, in early December, they decided they wanted to be in the junk food business, and enlarged the convenience store space to stock every kind of garbage food and drink available.. This means the place is sometimes swarming with grade school kids getting their sugar fix. Last week I had to work my way around 7 or 8 kids just to pay cash for my gas. This also means it's becoming a hangout for pre-teens and teens, none of whom are masked. And the teens behind the register aren't masked, either, and they rarely say "thank you" after I fork over my $40. I'll be doing my gas purchases down the block from now on. read more

Great customer service they have everything you need very clean store I recommend this gas station

-0 Stars of possible for this auto repair. My relatives came from out of town for a visit. Their van broke down by the Moraga Country Club. One of the workers from Moraga Auto Care offered to move the van to their repair shop to take a look. The owner gave my relative an estimate of $2,040 because he said that the cooling fan needed to be replaced in order to be able to check any damage to the engine. Feeling that the price was way too much, my relative decided to pay the "diagnostic fee" about $160 and had the vehicle towed to a different auto repair shop for a second evaluation. The second vehicle evaluation revealed that there was nothing wrong with the cooling fan, nor the engine. There was a switch that needed to be replace to make the cooling fan run properly as the sensor was not working, the cost to repair it including parts and labor was $300. The owner of Moraga Auto Care was rude and visibly bothered that the vehicle was not being repaired at his shop. When my relative who is undergoing treatment for cancer asked the owner if she could to use the restroom, he rudely told her that his business didn't have a restroom. He was lying because I have been there before and know there is a customer restroom. The owner of this business quoted $2,040 for a repair that was not needed, that is absolutely outrageous. The diagnosis from Moraga Auto Care was completely wrong. ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION WHEN DEALING WITH MORAGA AUTO CARE, you can save hundreds even thousands of dollars. Terrible way to treat customers. Plenty of auto shops in town, this one is by far the worst for us! read more

Professional and high-quality service. They were able to accommodate me dropping in with a broken side mirror. They talked me through the process, what went into determining the final price, and gave me recommendations for items to consider addressing in the future. Communication was clear. And as a bonus provided a discount since I am a member of Saint Mary's College! Highly recommend. read more

Dan gave me excellent advice and service. I'm from out of town, and luckily just pulled into this repair shop for some maintenance that I had neglected to take care of before leaving home. I was very pleased. My only recommendation is that they update their computer. It took a while to get my bill on the very slow one they are using. read more

There are some repairs that the dealer can take care of, but for oil changes, engine checks, and other simple to mid-grade repairs, I am glad to give John, JJ, Brett and the rest of the crew here my business. When it comes to engine work, they are cool about applying the diagnostic price (most cases $120) toward any repairs the car needs. Routine maintenance is becoming more important as my car gets up there in miles, and they tell you what your car needs now and what it will need soon. And once you are on their mailing list, you get service reminders and even a holiday card from the owner himself. So this has become my go-to place when in the area, and they also have an independent smog guy in the back who does occasional deals as well. read more

Extremely happy with the service and price of this shop. I only had an inspection done here but Chris is really amazing in explaining everything he discovered with the vehicle, definitely gave me confidence in buying this used car. I am not from Moraga, otherwise i would let him service the car as well. Maybe next time :) Thank you Moraga Auto Care! read more

Amazing customer care and services Allen will offer you an exceptional quality and detail oriented service. Not only the technical part but also help you to understand the direction you need to take in order to give a very good prize. His honesty and sincerity will make you trust him . The team is outstanding always. Thank you Allen and Rafael you are the best ! read more

I received an oil change on September 25th. My rod was thrown on December 23rd. I had just gotten an oil change here. Two days later, hearf a noise took it back, the idiot says "its just the oil settling."Went back, the mechanic and manager both denied wrongdoing with a submitted "actual" mechanics report. My car is a 2015 Kia Soul and not enough oil was put in it. I am suing for a new motor. Do not go here they will ruin your car! They do not know what they are doing. read more

Absolutely disgusting. Their bathroom was repulsive, even as a guy standing to pee, I feel horrible for the women who have to go in there! Nasty mop bucket water just collecting diseases probably. Not to mention someone carved out some of the film on the door so some pervert can peep through! Nasty. read more

See all

I am so pleased with their excellent services. Although the Gas station and mechanic shop are tow different businesses with two different management. But I always get the best service from the employee of the gas services. Thank you for being a great help. read more

New management and mechanic here since those bad reviews were written. The new operators are conscientious, trustworthy and thorough. I see no reason to go anywhere else! read more

Great service and great prices. Definitely someone I can trust to do the right thing with my cars.

John performed a used car purchase inspection for me on a same day call in. He provided constructive input and insights as to possible issues with the vehicle. It wasn't clear to me how in depth he examined the engine and internal vehicle components. His assessments of potential issues with the vehicle based on his inspection were very useful. He is very knowledgeable and communicates well. read more

These guys are great! They took great care of my car and even showed me what they did when I went to pick up my car. I thought it was great, because I don't know anything about cars. They took the time to show me on another vehicle what they worked on, explained how it worked, and why it was a problem. They also offered to take a look at another issue for free. These guys are class acts and very reliable and dependable. I will definitely be taking my car back there!!! read more

Impeccably honest, fast and incredibly fair prices. Wish I had been coming here long ago. Its a unique experience to feel like you are not being taken advantage of at an auto mechanic. read more

Super honest people! You can tell they're looking out for you, and I didn't even get the chance to have my vehicle serviced yet! I was calling different auto-shops in my area (Moraga) and these guys were the first to actually answer the phone. Not only that, before I called, I was looking on their website and read the Bios, etc. It mentioned John, the owner, and how he was passionate about cars, customer service, and family. Seemed like a nice local business. So I called, figured I'd reach the receptionist...but guess who answered? John himself! Whoa, I thought, awesome, I love to support my local businesses, and even more when the owner is still devoting his time into it!! But even still, when I arrived at the shop, John was explaining what he talked with me over the phone to one of the other employees (sorry I forgot your name!!), but this guy, he was just as awesome!! Seriously, we went back to the office, and I mentioned how my car was still under warranty (its less than 3 years old!), but the dealership was trying to charge me over $1,000. So he told me exactly what I needed to do and say, and go back to the dealership, and give them no excuses to fix my car under warranty. He said if I were him, this is what he would do. Seriously, you can't get better trust and information than this...not to mention in the automotive industry where every car salesman and mechanic is looking to make $$$ off unsuspecting customers. I can't wait til I don't have to deal with the MINI dealership anymore (when my warranty expires)....granted, hopefully I don't have too many mechanical problems, but if I do, I know where to go. These guys know what they're doing - they're honest, upfront, and truly help their customers. Thank you guys!!! I'll be recommending you to my fiancee and friends =) read more

I am very happy with the service I got at Moraga Auto Care & Service. I thought my waterpump went out on my car but was not sure. Brett ran several tests and found out it was my sensor and thermostat that went bad. He made sure to thoroughly check my car and even asked to keep it an extra day to make sure that the problem was gone. He kept me informed as to what was going on and made sure to explain everything. I would recommend this shop to all of my family and friends:) read more

What a disappointment! I'm a little old lady and went to this place looking for help in a scary situation. On the way to a concert in Moraga Thursday afternoon, my car suddenly died and all the dashboard lights came on. I got it started and limped into this place looking for help. The man inside was very nice and ran to get the mechanic. He, however, seemed very annoyed and said he was busy and couldn't even look at it until Monday. He said I should have it towed and to get it out of his driveway. And walked off. I hope someone is much kinder to his mother when she needs help. read more

John rechecked a battery I let run down that I bought from him over a year ago. He then charged it for 4 hours and rechecked it -- NO CHARGE He want to do good for his customers. He has always been honest, fair in prices, efficient and very competent. read more

Score another 5 star for MAC. Being new to the area we didn't know who did good work and (let's face it) was trustworthy. After seeing the great reviews it was decided to have them do a tuneup. Chris did an excellent, quick job. He also checked different items at no cost and didn't try to up sell any unneeded work. We are very impressed and will definitely use them again. read more

Finding a good mechanic...it's every girl's dream. John is amazing! Not only did he not mock me for not understanding anything about what was wrong with my car, he actually took the time to explain it to me in plain english. On top of fixing everything that was wrong with my car (yes I waited several months till it all piled up) - he got it all done in one day and for far less then I've paid any other mechanic! And on top of all of that John also gave me a ride to the BART station so I could get to work AND he picked me up that evening and took me back to the shop! He is honest and honestly nice! If you are anywhere near the area I would highly highly recommend this shop! read more

I have received exemplary service the two times I've used Moraga Auto Care & Service in the past six months. Both times were for routine maintenance---once to change tires & once to replace a headlight and rotate my tires. While my car was in this shop the second time I mentioned to John, the owner, that the airbag light on the dash had come on and stayed on in the past few weeks. John suspected the airbag sensor was malfunctioning & since the car is a late model he thought this would be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. So, he went ahead and called the nearest dealer and he was right---the light was covered. He then sent me an email advising me of this and included the address of the nearest dealer who could repair the problem. That is what I call service. I have to disagree completely with the reviewer who suggested this garage is overpriced. From what I can tell the prices are very fair and much more competitive then what I find in Walnut Creek and Concord. Also, I'm fairly certain the gas station is a separate business from the garage. I highly recommend Moraga Auto Care & Service to anyone who needs service on new or used vehicles. John & his crew rock! read more

These guys are really good. It's a small shop owned by a young guy named John. I've taken all our cars there for several years and have found them to be completely honest as far as I can tell, and they do good work. John will go out of his way to help a regular customer. read more

Brett and his team are scrupulously honest. They take care of everything, explain what needs to be done and why and give you an idea about what is urgent and what might be done later. They are truly an old fashioned mechanics shop with mechanics who care about their work, their customers and your car. You can't get better service. They have kept my aging 4 cars in tiptop shape. read more

All I have to say is i saw smoke, crackle, and pop. This was not my cereal, it was my car. I took it Moraga Auto Care and ask for car forgiveness. With knowledge of epic proportion I was honored and ate very well feelings. Tail Whip and slither aside. haw haw haw i am so so happy. the essence make me smile for lrong time i am happy because car happy. my wife cio xi li say thank you.

John helped me with a used car inspection. Gave me a ton of confidence in what I was potentially buying. On top of all that, he talked me into a more economical inspection price point - really appreciated the honest approach. read more

A lot of people don't realize that this is a different business than the gas station, because I don't think this place even has a restroom. However, from my experience this repair shop has the lowest prices in town...saved me hundreds when compared to the dealership prices. The guys there were honest, giving me all of my options (ie aftermarket parts v. Dealership) and prioritized the things that needed to be done now or things that could wait. They went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied. I would recommend these guys to anyone. read more

So basically I know nothing about cars. I left the light on in my car overnight and discharged the battery so in the morning it wouldn't start. I jump started it and managed to get it over to this shop. I was sure the battery was bad because I didn't notice I had left the light on all night. These guys at the shop are great! I was prepared to wait for a time when they could get me in, but they took me right away, saying that testing the battery would only take a few minutes. Turns out the battery was fine. With as little as I know about cars, I could have been taken for a ride. I appreciate the honesty, and the best thing of all was I got out of there free of any charges. The owner only smiled and said, "just remember me the next time you have any car problems.". Great place! read more

Amazing customer service! We have been taking our cars to Moraga Auto Care & Service for over two years. They are trustworthy, reliable and explain everything. read more

I have gone to Moraga Auto Care several times because they are honest and up front (even to women) and let me know all of my options instead of trying to pull the wool over my eyes. I have never had to take my cars back for "re-dos" as I have for other shops. The guys are always neat and clean and keep my car that way too. If I have any questions, they answer me with respect. Even though they are in back of the gas station, they are worth finding. read more

I've been a customer since they opened and since I like to drive older classic cars I keep going back quite often! They have looked after my 64 cadillac and a 72 MG as well as 2 modern cars. They know what to do, don't rip you off and tell you straight whats likely to need doing in the near future. Trustworthy and good value no matter what you are driving. read more

I've taken my 98 Chevy truck here 3 times now, and have always received great service. My starter died on July 3, and I jokingly told John that settled where I would be kayaking on the 4th of July - nowhere. Well, he made sure I went kayaking the next day! Knowing I need my truck for my landscape business, he always gets my truck done quickly. I recommend his business to all my friends, and will remain a loyal customer. read more

I previously wrote up a negative review of this place, but the owner has restored my faith in the business. He called to apologize for the poor service I had received over the weekend & offered to make a deal on future repairs. He was very gracious. I returned to get the AC repaired and the experience was much much better! read more

I got transmission fluid changed for my car. John provided excellent and timely service. He was very helpful in answering all my questions. Will definitely be going back for future car services. read more

Last August, our car just started to break down. At first, we wanted to keep the car and we brought it to the shop where the mechanic was extremely thorough in explaining what was wrong with our car and what the charges related to. The work was fair priced. A short time later, we decided we were going to sell it and get a new car as it was rather old at that point. However before we could save up a good down payment, another issue came up, much more expensive than before. The owner, upon hearing our situation, did not push for us to get expensive fix, rather he provided us with a cheaper work-around alternative that would allow the car to run long enough for us to complete a purchase of a new car. Cheaper even than a rental car would have cost us in the interim. He has earned our trust and we have even sent our family there to have their cars worked on. A good and honest mechanic seems hard to come by, and we feel we have found ours. read more
