I live in oakland so they have repaired at least 3 tires with nails in them. Most recently, I got a nail in the sidewall of my tire. The Tire needed replacing no way it could be repaired. Orinda tires got the exact tire replacement shipped to them same day and on a Monday no less. I have a plug in hybrid Volvo, it requires special tires. I called orinda tires at 10:30 am, they ordered the tire and had it at the shop by 12:30 My tire was mounted, installed, balanced and calibrated by 2:30. Extremely fast! Super efficient! They got me on my way faster than the actual dealership could. And at a very good price. There's a cozy Pete's coffee to wait in near by too which is definitely a plus. Orinda tires is the best!

Afterwards I called my usual mechanic, who said it would have cost $300, and the dealer, who quoted me $600. The staff at Orinda Motors were not sympathetic, saying that they charge extremely high labor ($260 / hr) because they can. They also inflate the bill by working slowly and doing unnecessary diagnostic work. What concerns me most is that I left feeling taken advantage of. As a mother of three who needed to get moving again, I felt they prioritized profit over fairness.

My dad is a mechanic and growing up (and still even now as an adult), he has helped me with a lot of my car repairs so I've never had to really worry about it. But since he's across the bridge it's not so realistic anymore to have him take care of things and he's getting older now (although I'd never tell him that since he's stubborn and would want to help me lol). Also being that I used to work car industry, I've always just known of someone who can fix or maintain my car for me. So finding someone I can trust outside of my network that I feel I can trust is a big deal. Coming to AAMCO for routine maintenance and repairs has been a great experience and I am always thankful for Derek and his team's honesty, transparency, and professionalism.

I've been so impressed with their quality of work, competitive pricing and overall business ethics (a somewhat unique combination) that I am now still willing to make the trek from Pleasanton to Sunnyvale - despite numerous more local options, and the inconvenience of the drive - in order to have most major repairs done by Minh & his team.

Literally his words, and he delivered on them completely. What set him apart was the depth he went to. He could've just wiped things down and called it a day, but instead he pulled the front seat out to find and clean milk residue that had seeped underneath the rubber mat. He used a leather soft-fill compound to repair a burn hole in the seat headrest and repainted it to match. He restored my foggy headlights until they looked factory fresh. He revived the faded exterior plastic trim. And through all of it, he kept me updated constantly, explaining exactly what he found, what he recommended, and why, with zero pressure. I really appreciate how communicative he is with his clients, it's one of my favorite things to look out for when trying out a business for the first time, and he delivered. His pricing is fair and transparent. That kind of integrity is rare. If your car needs love, take it to Paul. You won't regret it. I showed up to drop off my car extremely stressed out. It was one of those moments where I realized, yeah I haven't shown this car some love in yearsss, and I am happy I trusted Paul to bring it back to life!
