I am a first-time customer of Mostly Hondas. I brought my Accord to the shop to have an intermittent starting problem fixed. Fernando quickly explained his initial thoughts on the cause of the problem and his plan to confirm and fix the problem. He then gave me a very reasonable cost estimate to do the work. A few hours later, my car was ready before the promised time AND he had adjusted the tire pressure and topped of the fluids as needed. I am reasonably confident that the intermittent starting problem has been fixed based on Fernando's knowledge and experience. The warranty on the parts and labor adds an additional level of confidence. I only wish that I knew about Mostly Hondas (Rene and Fernando) long ago. I recommend them. read more

I came to this shop based on reviews about the owner. I didnt want to check other shops because I needed my car fixed right away. I called the shop on a Monday morning and Rene answered. Explained what was the problem of my car and he told me to bring it in after lunch so that he could take a look at it. Brought the car in after lunch as promised. Right, when I got there, we test drove the car around the area and went back to the shop. He QUICKLY worked on the car and gave me a call within the hour. It was just a bad catalytic converted and an oxygen sensor that needed to be replaced/cleaned. read more

Will be coming back for their services next time. I have no regrets, Rene & staff are very honest & and provided a great deal for me. Serviced my 2024 civic type R read more

Mostly Hondas - Mostly Honda servicing my type R - Auto Repair Near Me - Concord, California

Mostly Honda is always top notch for me. Rene and Fernando are the best at what they do ... analyzing and repairing car issues. Besides being excellent mechanics they are both good human beings and a pleasure to work with. They maintained and serviced my beloved 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid for years and years. I just crossed 295,800 miles and I would not trust my car to anyone else! Good people, great work, fair prices...that IS Mostly Honda!!! read more

Anyone looking for honest mechanics should consider this place. I took an old Honda Accord in with what for all the world looked like a bad heater core. I was quoted $2000 due to the massive amount of labor It takes to remove the dashboard and replace the heater core. I received a call a few hours later that the actual problem was a fried blower motor that could be replaced for $500. These guys could've easily charged me the $2000 and I never would have been the wiser. Honest mechanics work here. I will never take my vehicles anywhere else. read more

Rene was great. Our CRV appeared dead. Very helpful and knowledgeable and now we're driving again. Just needed their expertise. So easy to work with. read more

I was recommended this place by a friend who has been taking all their cars here for years. She told me they're a very honest and fair priced mom and pops shop. Initially there was some confusion with getting my car looked at because I spoke to two different people who told me totally opposite things. This was a little frustrating, but in the end I felt they were very honest and I appreciated that. Since they were unable to help with my specific car problem, they referred me to a very honest 3rd party vendor. The 3rd party could have easily taken my money and made a repair that he knew wouldn't last, but he instead looked up my vin number and informed me there is a recall. He recommended I go to the dealership to see if the repair could be made for free since it's under recall. In the end, I got my car fixed for free (AC unit on a recent year Honda civic). Though there was some confusion, I really appreciated their honesty instead of having me come in and pay for something that ended up being free. Thanks Mostly Hondas, and Mario for helping me get my car fixed at the best price - free! I'll definitely come here for future repairs as I can tell they are honest people. read more

I recently picked up a non Honda pickup truck. The first place I brought it to was Rene. Since I drive long distance, I want to be sure everything is in tip top shape. I had the radiator changed with new coolant and timing belt/ chain and of course the water pump thermostat, radiator cap and all belts as well. If you got to do it, do it right and all at once. Also changed the brake fluid and power steering fluid. I will have him look at the brakes the next time I'm in the area. It's always comforting to know when Rene works on your autos that he always goes above and beyond to insure that you receive a safe and worry free ride! I didn't know what a big job it was until I saw everything that had to be done to complete my job. We often take for granted when our rides are running fine but forget what is involved to keep them that way. Keep up the great work Rene. read more

Today my Check Engine Light went on and my car lost power. I called Mostly Hondas in the afternoon and they said if I got the car there in an hour they would be able to work on it so I hurried there (as quickly as the car would go...) and they took the car in while I waited nearby. They confirmed the diagnosis, provided an estimate and I was able to pick the car up in the afternoon, as promised! They also looked into another issue and gave me advice on how to fix it. All in all, great first experience with Mostly Honda and I certainly plan on returning! read more

I made an appointment with Mostly Honda to get rid of an engine trouble code which turned out to be an Engine Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve leak issue on my Ford Fusion. The car was towed in and the repair began right away, just as promised, with it being expertly repaired in only a couple of hours so that my wife would now be able use it for an out-of-town appointment, and at a very reasonable cost! So starting to drive home (while, luckily, still near Mostly Honda) the AC suddenly stopped working on my Honda on a 96 degree day. I decided to immediately return to mostly Honda to at least show Renee the issue and make a new appointment to repair the AC, but man did I get lucky as the shop happened to have a bit of extra time that afternoon and proceeded to quickly diagnose the leaking freon issue, replace the defective parts, and recharge the AC thereby making it function perfectly. What a relief, and again for a very reasonable cost! Mostly Honda isn't trying to be fancy, just good....Highly recommended! read more

They have worked on my cars and never disappointed. We have been going there for 3+ years now, once we heard about them.

I read reviews always... Nervous to find a new Auto mechanic after ours of many years retired. Now totally impressed with Rene & Fernando at Mostly Hondas! I will be a forever customer. I received quality, honest and thoughtful service. Above and beyond EXCELLENT costumer service. Truly a shop that provides skill & expertise in their services. So thankful to have found them! read more

These guys are awesome!! Have taken multiple cars to them over the last 6 years. They are always honest, don't fix or push things that don't need to be fixed, and have taken care of us all along! Definitely our go to mechanic!! read more

Renee is the best.. has always been the best priced quickest response and ease of understanding. Definitely recommend going here.

Good service and helpful. Rene and Fernando are great to work with. I've taken my Honda for work and satisfied with the work.

I brought my Pilot in for a timing belt change 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I noticed 2 of my lugs were broken on the front right tire. I looked into it and found that the front right tire is removed for a timing belt change. The vehicle has not been into any other shop. The owner at mostly Honda refused to repair the lugs stating it's not his fault. But since no one else has worked on the vehicle, it's most definitely his fault. I'm not having a problem with the timing belt, but if they make a mistake it's definitely your problem. They're not going to make it right. read more

I love this place Rene is a true professional of 30 years in the same location I highly recommend I take all my cars to him Trust is everything !!!!!!! read more

I've trusted Rene with my clunkers since 1996, when I brought my 1977 Honda CVCC to him and he was able to quickly diagnose and repair it and SAVE MY VACATION! Since then, I have moved several times, bought several different junkers and clunkers, but continue to seek out Rene for his honesty, integrity, and expertise. If he thinks it will cost more to fix something than it's worth, he will tell you. He doesn't try to nickel and dime you to death and if he doesn't know what's wrong, he will tell you instead of just guessing until your pockets are empty. I drive all the way from Brentwood to Concord just to have him check out my cars or to get a second opinion when some other mechanic tells me my car needs this or that... It's a small place, crowded, parking is limited and he is almost always BUSY. and I still make the trek. That should tell you something... The only other mechanic I trust as much as Rene is Fred Ryland of Ryland Racing. Good mechanics, like good hairstylists, are worth their weight in gold. read more

Always take my cars here and I'm always pleased with Rene and his team. They provide great customer service

I just recently had two instances where I used these guys and they were phenomenal! The first issue I had was an exhaust leak that turned out to be from someone trying to steal my catalytic converter. Renee welded up the damage to the tail pipe and got me on the road again. Second, I had brought one of my other cars to the dealer to figure out where an oil leak was coming from and after tearing down the car realized the dealer was completely wrong. Fernando helped me diagnose the origin of the leak get my car running again. This shop really went above and beyond on this job and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for service. They are now my shop of choice moving forward for all my cars. Thank you again Fernando and Renee! Really appreciate all your help! read more

Based on the reviews I took my car on two occasions to Mostly Honda. On my first visit I had an oil change and I paid $100 to have my key remote reprogrammed. I met Rene on my second visit because the key remote was still not working properly. Rene was sitting in the front office and based on his body language I got the feeling that my issue was not worth his time, no eye contact and dismissive. His employee on the other hand was really nice and tried to fix/find the issue. I paid an additional $13 for a new key remote battery because that's what Rene indicated to his employee was the issue. The battery was not the issue. So I left with a key remote that was useless. His employee was nice but I can't say the same for Rene. read more

I would take my cars anywhere else. We started taking our Honda's there when the dealer couldn't diagnose, or fix, an intermittent ignition problem. Renee diagnosed it over the phone and fixed it that day. Since then, I only use mostly Honda and recommend them to all my Honda owning friends read more

Rene is an awesome guy. Mostly Honda has been great to me. The quality of service is very good, and the prices are very competitive. I have a 2006 Honda Civic. It is known to have cracked engine blocks, which is why Honda extended the warranty to 10 years. My block cracked about a month after the warranty expired and Honda wanted anywhere from 3-4k to fix it. That is when I brought it to Mostly Honda. Rene said, "let's try to fill it, and if it doesn't work, I will credit you for the engine block change." So we did that, but it didn't work. He credited me towards the repairs, and I haven't had an issue since. Thanks Rene. read more

Best Honda service I've found! Definitely sticking with this place. Great staff! My car needed a bunch of routine maintenance and the car was done within the day. Really happy a friend reccomended this shop as I've had lots of bad luck with subpar service. Mostly Hondas exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be back here from now on! Thank god I have this local read more

After reading all the positive reviews on yelp about Rene and Mostly Honda we decided this is where we'd go to get our 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid repaired. Well, we were not disappointed. Not only did Rene quickly diagnose the problem, but repaired it quickly and the cost was extremely reasonable! Mostly Honda is now the place we will be going. read more

I was looking for an independent shop that specializes in Hondas close to my office. This shop had very good reviews. I made an appointment to have the valves adjusted on my high-mileage Odyssey. The appointment went fine - I dropped off at 7:30am with my key through the mailslot in the door. The car was ready in the afternoon and I got a call when it was ready. When I picked up the car and talked to the mechanic, I realized that the wrong spark plugs had been installed. When we figured that out, he said to come by the next day so they could correct the issue. I came back the next day and it was taken care of. When I talked over the mix-up with the owner, I believe they had ordered the correct plugs from their same-day supplier, but that vendor brought the wrong ones. There wasn't a double check when the parts arrived and since all plugs are visually almost identical, the wrong part number wasn't detected. Pros - I think these guys are Honda specialists Communication was pretty good all around When we noticed an error, they made good on it right away Cons - it is a very small shop, so I think for anything bigger than an oil change you probably need an appointment I'm absolutely willing to go there next time my Honda needs work, and confident in recommending the shop. I gave 4 stars because of the spark plug mix up - but the shop was fast and efficient in correcting the problem. read more

I brought lots of my Hondas to this guy when I had a small used car dealership across town. He's knowledgeable, friendly, fair priced and honest. It's not the ritz carlton in this place and you don't want to eat off the floors, but those places aren't were the best finds are for a value mechanics. I not only recommend them, I still use them for our non hondas! read more

I have been to this shop 2 times and spoke with Rene and crew, good costumer service, reasonable prices, i will return here for feature car troubles good place. read more

Top notch service, Rene helped me understand the problems and gave me great intel on how to fix and keep the pricing within my budget... this is the guy you want working for you five stars..... I would give more but I'm limited... read more

Got my brakes done here a few months ago. The price was good and the service was even better. I'll definitely be back

Have been going to Rene at Mostly Hondas for over 20 years. He is not only the best mechanic in his field, he is honest, hard-working, and goes above and beyond. Can't say enough about his professionalism and his prices are more than reasonable. This is one car owner who will never change! Steve J. read more

I've been taking my Hondas to Rene for a couple of years and trust him implicitly with taking care of my cars. His work is fast, top notch, CLEAN and always less expensive than taking it to Walnut Creek Honda. (Don't get me wrong - Honda does excellent work, but their check-in process is stupid and nothing is cheap.... didn't they take enough of my money when they sold me the car?) My car is always done on time, on budget - no surprises - and I've never had an issue with the work Rene performs. read more

Update from Eric Schaefer, other half of this account: Another month, another of our girls' cars goes into Rene for service while she's out of the country (yeah, they've got it rough). This one's a Subaru for the daughter that lives/works/schools in Tahoe. Once again Rene made drop off easy and accommodating, only this time we were leaving town ourselves for a long weekend away from cell coverage. We left him a note stating what we knew needed to be done and with a budget amount, fully confident in his integrity after our last experience. We returned home to an update and like last time Rene had gone above and beyond, addressing our initial concerns as well as additional issues he discovered. He did more than we expected for FAR less than we expected (and less than we told him to spend... if only our kids were as gentle on us financially! ), accommodated our pickup schedule; and just like the Kia, the Scooby now runs and drives like a new car. We really can't recommend this business more genuinely, they may be 'Mostly' Hondas but are clearly outstanding with other Asian makes as well. And Rene is not only an outstanding diagnostic technician but more importantly is an honest, reliable, and trustworthy business owner. read more

Great place to bring your car! They're super nice!! I came in to get my radiator and oil pan fixed and they they were able to fix it at a reasonable price. These guys are great - I recommend them read more

Recently Rene went above and beyond to help me replace an airbag sensor. It ended up being more work than we had both anticipated, but even though he wasn't feeling well that day he spent a lot of time on making sure the sensor worked. He takes pride in his work. read more

I have been going to Rene for a few years now and he is great! His prices are fair and he finds the solution to any of my car problems right away. I don't trust anyone else to do any work on my car but Mostly Honda! read more

I have a 2004 Honda, the starter went out, I took it to Mostly Hondas on a recommendation of a friend which usually is not a bad deal. The first time seemed fine, it was when I had to go back that was the problem. It was a return trip for the same problem six months later. Mostly Hondas are more than happy to take your business, but if it involves you coming back due to poor workmanship or faulty parts forget it! At the time of pick up(which was two days later) he proceeded to call my wife a liar and that there was no problem at all before it was brought in but he replaced the starter again to appease us (which I have my suspicions on this happening at all). He also made sure in the paperwork that we would not be able to come back for future repairs if need be, which leads me to belive that he either knew he was installing inferior parts or was covering his trail for not installing anything at all. So here we are another six months has gone by and it is back in the shop (a different shop this time) for the same problem. The new mechanic (20+ years in the trade) says he has never seen the brand of starter that was installed and which by the way has an install date of 2008 (over a year ago) confirming my suspicions of not installing anything at all. So in a nut shell, if you have a Honda and need some work done I say steer clear of this place. Poor customer service, terrible/unknown parts and expensive to boot, not to mention that you will endure a tongue lashing if you question their workmanship, honesty or faulty parts. read more

I"ve been going to Rene for years - Hondas, Jeeps, and now my Toyota 4Runner. He's really good, with fair prices, and willing to advise you in other car-related areas. He also happens to be a good musician, which, in my c are adds tons of value. Highly recommended. read more
