I can't say enough good things about Old Town Auto and especially Alex. From the very first interaction, Alex was incredibly honest, transparent, and responsive--qualities that are unfortunately hard to find these days in auto repair. I had received a quote from a competing shop in Danville that was literally three times the cost, with very little explanation. Alex took the time to walk me through exactly what was needed, what wasn't needed, and why. Alex's integrity really stood out; it's obvious he values long-term relationships over quick profits. That level of transparency and professionalism immediately builds trust. If you're looking for a mechanic who is honest, ethical, fairly priced, and genuinely cares about doing quality work, Old Town Auto is the place. I won't take my car anywhere else, and I highly recommend Alex to anyone who wants peace of mind when it comes to auto repairs. read more

I was very pleased with courteous attitude from business owner to service my 67 Mustang coupe without an appointment. I needed oil change and Alex (owner) who is a master mechanic pointed out a few things to watch out for. I will definitely go back with my other classics. read more

I have used Alex for regular maintenance but this time need a bigger repair and I felt confident he was honest and fair with me! He got things done in a timely manner and was very communicative and not judgmental! ;o) read more

I've been doing my regular car maintenance here for a few years and it's always a great experience. They complete the work quickly, do it well, and don't overcharge. read more

Alex is a master mechanic. He knows everything about all makes of cars old and new, foreign and domestic, and he explains everything in terms I can understand and doesn't "talk down" to me because I am a woman. I had taken my Land Rover to Blackhawk AutoTech and they told me it would cost thousands to figure out what the problem was and they couldn't guarantee they could fix it even if they diagnosed the problem. So they charged several hundred dollars to run their diagnostics equipment, without a diagnosis being made. I took the car to Alex, he diagnosed and repaired the problem and it has been running well so far, 6 months later. In the meantime, my son has taken his MiniCooper Sport there for a problem which neither Auto Tech nor BMW could figure out. Alex DID!!!! read more

Alex is a great mechanic and has always been fair with us. It's nice that he's right downtown and that we don't have to drive far. I also like to support the mom and pop shops. read more

Tom L. Old Town Auto offers quality and value at a very reasonable price. The owner, Alex, is honest, hardworking and the kind of person that you would come back to whenever you needed to address any car issue. read more

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP! Alex, the new owner, has kept up the fine service that Steve had provided to me in the past. I've been very happy with his work, and the ability to bring my cars in for same day service. Very competitive pricing too. I think I've found my long-term mechanic. read more

I am so glad to have Old Town Auto close by. Not only are they open on weekends, but I've always been able to get my car in immediately. Alex goes to great lengths to give fair prices and make sure his customers feel satisfied with the work. read more

I took my son's car in at the last minute before he was driving back to school with a parking brake malfunction warning and issue. Alex (the shop owner) was super busy but still squeezed me in the next morning at 8am to have a look at it. Within a couple of hours, he had found and solved the problems and did not want to charge me for any extra work he had done. Congratulations, there are still competent and hard working people with etiquette out there. Steve had been my past mechanic at this shop for the past 15 years and found the perfect replacement for him. I will continue bringing all my vehicles to your shop and make sure sure I also tell family and friends as well. Thank you again "Old Town Auto"! read more

Steve is always so helpful! Been coming to this service station for years. Always does his best to squeeze you in time permitting. And gives an honest assessment of the problem your car is having. read more

Alex responded immediately and went above and beyond in servicing my truck and answering all my questions.

**IMPORTANT** any low rating reviews are for the gas station, not Old Town Auto Service which are actually separate from each other. Steve is the best!!! He's SO kind, so helpful, and amazing at what he does!!! We've been going to Old Town Auto Service for over 20+ years!! My family always takes their cars here whenever we need any service done to our car. The prices are VERY reasonable and the turnaround time is great too!! Make sure to call and make an appointment. The drop off/pick up is very easy too! I trust Steve 110% and he's the best!!! I definitely recommend going here for any car service you need (that he does!) & like I said, he's the best prices in town too! When he wasn't able to do my AC recently, I had to call other places and they were significantly more expensive. Anyways- go to Old Town Auto Service! You won't regret it!! read more

Yesterday I found an honest knowledgeable mechanic at Old Town Auto Service. I went to shop thinking I needed brake pads and possibly rotors. He could have told me yes and I would have authorized the work; but he was honest and let me know the repairs were not needed. I highly recommend this great honest mechanic. He also disinfected my car an added extra touch. Also shop is on the corner of San Ramon Valley Blvd and Boone Court. Thank you, Diane read more

Maybe the last gas station garage. Bill and Steve are just great, they know what the hell they are doing, honest fair professional do what they say and more. Thanks! read more

See all

Steve has great skills and very detail about his works. Clean shop and fair price.

Steve and staff are the best, most honest mechanics you will ever find. They have saved me thousands of dollars due to dublin Honda and service outlet wanting to charge me for work I did not need. You wont find a better mechanic. If they diagnose and cant do the repair they will tell you and recommend someone but they are great at diagnosing problems. read more

I have recently tried out this auto repair shop after going to other shops for estimates. The Owner Steve is very honest, reliable and had the best prices by far! When reading any negative reviews, they are for the gas station which is a completely separate business but happens to be sharing the same building. Steve's great reviews are well deserved! I am so glad that I now have a good place to take care of any future car repairs. read more

My Check Engine light came on and had important appt. I stopped in to Old Town expecting a long wait and have to cancel appt but Steve saved me and had me out in less than an hour for complicated engine trouble at a totally reasonable price. No Hassle. No sales pitch! Steve is the Best!! He Cares!! Will definitely be back!! read more

Took my car for an estimate to a couple of mechanics in the area. His price was half the other 2! and did a great job. Highly recommended

Stopped by today to check the air in my tires on my way to Domenico's for my sandwich. The air and water station is in the back meaning to the right if you're going north on San Ramon Valley. You don't need to bother anyone to start the air as it's all ready to go which is nice. I quickly checked my pressure in my tires and realized they were still ok so didn't have to do anything! But glad to know that there is air and water here if I ever need to use it. read more

This is the only place I can take my car; the only place where the mechanics are truly trustworthy. Over the course of 8 years, I've taken 3 cars there, and their prices are always completely reasonable, the turnaround time for all repairs is 1-2 business days, and the staff is super-knowledgeable and courteous. Oh the only downside of this place is the elderly man who runs the register in the evenings -- possibly the rudest, socially inept person I've ever met. And he smells. Just ignore him. read more

I've been taking my cars here for maintenance and repair for several years and can highly recommend this place for trusted service. They are quick and reliable, but the best thing is that they don't need the business - so they never do anything more than is necessary. I've practically begged them to spend money on my car and still can't get them to do anything that isn't absolutely necessary. After being ripped off for years by service stations that routinely add 6 or 7 'essential' items to the repair list with every visit, I am very happy to have found an auto repair place that flatly refuses to rip me off. read more

Kudos to Steve for his professionalism and all around relaxed demeanor. He is a class act and gets the job done. Fair prices and honest. What else could/would you need to trust in your mechanic. Its's never fun to have car issues and be facing $$$ to repair. Steve always calls you with an estimate and when your car is ready for pick up. GREAT service! We have taken both our cars there for many years now. Support our local Danville businesses. read more

Great little gas station! Owner and workers so friendly and as others have said, they always thank you for your business when you pay. Gas price is the lowest to be found in the area and they carry a nice selection of drinks and snacks. We're lucky to have such a great/reasonable gas station in town! read more

I just had a great experience with Old Town Auto Service. I was looking for someone to change a set of rotors and shocks on my SUV that I had purchased. Steve was willing to squeeze me in between other appointments and knocked them out with no issues. Great costumer service, competitively priced, clean shop. Give him a call! read more

Steve is the best! I have repeatedly taken my car into him for brakes and AC problems! When he didn't know how to fix my power steering issue he has a recommendation! Super fair pricing and always flexible with timing. read more

Steve and his team have been taking care of my entire family's vehicles for 18 years. He will give you straight talk and advice that is meaningful to safety and your pocketbook. So rare to find someone ethical and helpful! He just took care of my wife's Lexus and probably saved us close to $800! I am teaching my Son to drive and the first lesson was to take his car to Steve. Take your car in for a routine maintenance; you will notice the difference immediately. read more

My mom has been coming to this place for years and she loves it, but I only recently tried out their auto repair for myself. I have an older BMW (1997) and it had died on the freeway. I was towed to a shop that quoted me $600 to fix the expansion tank, thermostat, and fill the radiator with coolant. When I brought it to Old Town Arco, the guys said I only needed the expansion pump- everything else was fine! They quoted me $200 and it actually came to about $195, which was a nice little surprise. These guys are very fair, incredibly honest, and they get repairs done very efficiently. I can't recommend them high enough, definitely take your car here! read more

The mechanic that helped me was very trustworthy, honest and friendly. The rates were very reasonable and so was the wait time. I couldn't have asked for better service. read more

Been going to Old Town for a few years, on the advice of a friend. The guys there always do the best job for a reasonable, no-BS price. They never try to get you to do more work than you need done. Only one time were they not able to fix something that was done wrong by an out-of-area shop(that BS shop said OEM parts used but were not). Old Town had to replace all the bad aftermarket parts with OEM and then it worked perfectly. Old Town is the most practical repair shop you will ever go to, as they do everything to keep the price down and still do a great job. There is so much BS and trickery in the car repair biz, and it is wonderful to find a shop that is the total opposite of that. Old Town is that shop. read more

Only accepts debit cards and charges a fee to do so - even for gas. Avoid this place if you can.

Very LOW prices here compared to all of the other Danville gas stations. One employee upon handing him $30 stated "Thank You for your Business", its been a long time since Ive heard that phrase! read more

One of the cheapest places for gas in Danville, conveniently located just a couple blocks off of 680. Yes, it's cash only, but how can you complain when you see a $0.30 price difference in comparison to other gas stations?? The attendants are nice and one of them always says "Thank you, ma'am. I appreciate your business." Puts a smile on my face and makes me laugh every time (because I'm nowhere near the age of being addressed as ma'am). read more

These guys rock!! My dad introduced me to this place in the late 90's. And they have been my "go to" ever since then. They are honest, knowledgable, and precise. They have worked-on/fixed 4 of my cars now. They have also been reputable in referring me elsewhere when "I could get a better deal." I never feel dirty/deceived. Thank you Bill, Steve and Jon!! Your shop is praise worthy!!! Oh, and they do smogs as well!! Xoxo read more

I have known Bill and Steve the mechanics for years I needed my timing reset for smog and Bill took a few minutes and did it for free read more

Cheap gas, friendly staff-- 'nuff said. "Thanks for your business!"

I Got the wrong change back from them and didn't realize it til I was a half hour away. And I came back several times leaving notes for the owner and I still havnt heard back from them. They are nice people but they always think they are right and don't even give the chance the saying "the customer is always right". The one worker even told me, "well then you shouldn't get change here then" read more

Only trust one person and one shop for my car. Steve is very trustworthy and honest. Very kind too. Finding a reliable mechanic is hard but this is the only place i will go! read more
