    Emily S.

    I hate this time of year. It's expected to be 105 today in Stockton. My make up is melting and my automobile registration is due... and had to get a TEST ONLY this time. My car.... oh... my car. I love that little thing. Races through the Altamont... passes like no other. Take the targa top off and think I look like hot shit. Literally.... in 105 degrees. I have the worst luck with smogs and O2 sensors. I usually don't pass a smog, have a couple hundred dollars in repairs... attempt another smog and pray for a miracle. This year, I walked into Peter's shop, said, 'Hi Peter! ready to fail me, AGAIN?' And I must note the reason why I go to Peter is because of All-American Muffler next door. If you have similar problems with your little racer, then check your car in with Peter, run next door to All-American Muffler and tell them your story. NO... they don't want to hear about your latest 'deal' at Macy's, or how your new pair of high heels are killing you. They have always resolved my issues to result in a 'PASS'. Peter said to me, 'if you don't run your car too hard, then you should have no problem passing today'. My husband about laughed his ass off. I followed with,' what do you mean, 'run hard'? Peter then went on to say, 1. staying below 3000 RPMs 2. proper shifting (this is where I developed the guilty expression on my face) 3. blah blah blah... I was pretty much NOT expecting to pass after all of that. This little auto circle is my little secret. If you're driving really fast on Hammer Lane, headed east and approaching Crack Alley... oops, I mean Tam O'Shanter, you've passed it. It's that quick. And I would say that there are probably about 6 or 7 businesses in this little circle. Peter is an honest man. I've been dealing with him for 4 smogs now. That's probably 6-7 tests. He never fusses around..... he finished testing my car in about 25 minutes this morning! ***please note... I know that I have reviewed this business. WTF happened to the original????

    One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet especially for Stockton, and one of the most comfortable couches in all the world to sit in while he takes a very few minutes to do your smog. Thanks Peter for years and years of great service on all our cars.

    Easy to to find! Bright yellow sign.

    No customer service at all, the tone in which the owner talks to not professional. Don't give this business your money

    A while back, I visited this shop for a quote on a valve body repair because my car was revving…read morepast 5,000 RPMs at low speeds and etc. I explained the situation to the front desk team, but in hindsight, I probably gave too much detail prior to giving the reason why I was actually here. They understandably assumed I wanted a full diagnosis because of the different issues described rather than just a quote for the valve body repair. And to be honest, that's what the process should be like. Because what if I am wrong about the prognosis, ya know? After dropping off my car, I later received a call letting me know they don't work on transmission-valve body replacements and was charged for the diagnostic, along with a recommendation to another shop. At the time, it felt like I paid for a referral, which didn't sit right with me. Recently, I came back to discuss this with the owner, Richard. We had a great conversation and agreed it was simply a misunderstanding during a very busy day. Keep in mind that Richard is also not the person who took my car in. I am sure if he was there when I first walked in, he would have recommended me elsewhere. But what stood out to me was Richard's professionalism and integrity. You have no idea how easily he could have said "no" to my visit today because at the end of the day I signed off on the paperwork prior to handing off the keys. But instead, he took the time to hear me out and make things right--not because of the money, but because he truly cares about the customer. That kind of passion and commitment is rare in the industry, and it's clear he's one of the only ones to have maintained it for however long he's been in the business, respectfully. That said, the shop itself is spacious and welcoming, not cramped like some places that make you feel rushed. Plus, the location is great--lots of nearby stores and even a gym if you want to kill time while waiting. If you're looking for a place that values honesty and customer care, this is it. Five stars to Richard, his establishment, and the team. And if you made it this far, it's only fair that you pay them a visit :)

That's fine, whatever mistakes happen. I take it back for them to fix their mistake and they call me the next day at 1:30pm to tell me it's ready. I was at work, but I left an hour early to be there before they close at 5pm. I pulled up at 4:40pm, gates are closed and there's a security. I ask him if they're closed and he opens the door to check with the workers (I can literally see them just sitting inside talking) -- they say they're closed. I ask "I can't just pick up my truck?" He asks me which truck and opens the door to the workers again and then back to me and says "nah, come back tomorrow". I wasn't mad about the wrong size fuel tank, but I didn't realize I had to call beforehand to ASK the employees to do their job until they actually close at 5pm. Look I get it. I work for a small business in town and we also close at 5, but we wouldn't turn away a customer that comes close to closing out of sheer laziness. They were there, I was there, it shouldn't have been an issue. Reply to owner: I appreciate the response but I answered and told the guy I'd be there before closing, which I was. I had also been at work and had to leave early to make it before 5pm. It was definitely not after 5pm when I arrived.

There's a reason why I've never stopped going here for all of my cars & the same goes for my parents. This place has become my family's go-to mechanic as my grandma also goes here now after we recommended she take the over 30-year old car with over 200,000 miles on it here as she refused to give up on getting it fixed. My grandma's previous mechanic failed/refused to repair it but United Auto took on the beast of a job & got it done. The owner Teddy even towed her car from her house to their shop & back for free whenever a new issue occurred while she's at home or work rather than her taking it over herself & getting a ride as she's the only driver in her household; also giving her discounts throughout the process. They also replaced an entire engine in my Mom's car. The team at United Auto Repair do a wonderful job on all of my family's different types & ages of cars. They are genuinely good people that make me feel like I'm not being ripped off as their prices seem reasonable to me; a person who is sort of a car-fanatic. I feel like my cars are in good hands in their care & my family & I will continue to recommend them to our family & friends the same way I'm recommending them to the reader of this lengthy feedback.
