I was leaving work and discovered a nail in my tire. It was too late to make it to a shop. The…read morefollowing day I called Orinda Tire & Wheels and wanted to schedule an appointment. The representative said they didn't have any appointments for that day. Worry began to settle in because I know the dangers of having a tire blow out. The representative then asked what my issue was. I told him about the nail and I could only drop it off at my lunch time. He told me to stop by. I did. He took a look at it and pulled the screw out. Five minutes and twenty five dollars later I was back on the road with my worries gone. The convenience of the location and the quality of customer service was well worth it. The shop is located inside of the 76 Gas Station. They went above and beyond to accommodate the service requested.

The staff is busy but they always make time for you by phone or in person. They also are honest, upfront, patient, and professional.

If you can't say you trust your current auto repair shop, you should definitely give this place a try like I did.

There are 2 large brushes in tubs of water available for you to do an initial scrub down before going into the car wash. If your car has alot of grime, I advise you to do a quick scrub down to loosen the dirt otherwise your car will not be thoroughly clean. My hubby did a complete scrub rub on the entire car before driving in. The car looks very clean afterwards. Of course this is all very subjective - and it depends on how clean you want your car to be. Note that if you do an initial scrub it will take some time and you might be holding up the line if there are other cars behind you. (My hubby parked nearby so as not to anger customers waiting for a quick wash.) We selected the basic $9 package and that suited our needs. It's a 4 step process - initial rinse, soap and rolling brushes, second rinse to wash away soap then final blow dry. Our car was dry enough and did not need a wipe down.

After speaking with the team at Orinda Motors and seeing the care they bestowed on the other classic cars entrusted to them, I decided to trust them with mine. The mechanics and service managers were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure that my car was treated as if it were their own. They were up front with pricing, expectations, and proactively kept me updated on the status of my repairs and any other items that were uncovered. As a classic car collector it's important to have someone you can trust and I'm glad to have found the team at Orinda Motors. I've brought all of my vehicles in for maintenance and repairs and have been happy with the results. Oh yeah, they also honor discounts for AAA members. Thank you Orinda Motors!

It's just off 24 so the location is convenient, but the prices do seem higher than other places in the area. It's just your standard gas station. I went inside to grab a few drinks while my son pumped his gas and it is small inside. There are signs advising that the restrooms are for customers only and they are serious about it. A young man was buying a soda so he could use the facilities, so I waited until my son came inside and let him grab a drink as well because I knew he needed to go. I really hate that. Like, just because we bought $50 in gas and another $20 in drinks and snacks that makes us worthy of the bathroom? Let people go to the bathroom! I understand that businesses are allowed their policies, I just find it plutocratic, exploitative and demeaning. That being said, the clerk was friendly and my son said the bathroom was clean, so 3 stars it is!

As I left, I said to myself, I guess they don't want the business which was odd in that there were no mechanics working on cars in any of the service bays. I took my car to a very trusted mechanic in Lafayette and had it back in two hours at a cost of $320. In the event Orinda Classic reads this posting, I hope they realize $400 per hour is equivalent billing at $832,000 per year assuming a 40 hour work week. Only a fool would pay that amount.
