Car lowered / new bcr struts
Sal T.

I can't recommend **Respect Auto Works** enough for all your automotive needs, including maintenance, dyno tuning, repairs, exhaust installations, and custom modifications. They provide the best service in the industry and truly stand out as the best in the business. They recently installed my BCR racing struts and bottom chassis supports, and the quality of their work was simply outstanding. If you're looking for top-notch service at an unbeatable price, look no further!

Timing Belt Snapped/failed! Respect Auto Works was there to rescue me again! Thank you @respectautoworks for always taking care of our cars and going above and beyond! The work you all do is truly remarkable and reflects your deep commitment to client satisfaction and your team's exceptional professionalism. Thank you sooooo much again!

5 stars all in all for the price and services. Definitely a worthwhile trip to Modesto, have your car serviced here and you won't regret it. Had my valve cover gasket, plugs, compression test and under chassis serviced by them. Including the oil change everything was spot on.

It is always a great experience when I come here to Respect Auto Works. Whenever my vehicle is not running efficiently or something just doesn't feel right I know I can rely on this team to figure it out and handle it. I, unfortunately, blew my head gasket from an overheating issue. Very time consuming to replace and diagnose and yet, Ethil with the rest of the team fixed her up within a few days! They had her up and running in no time and I got her out in a timely manner despite them being so busy with other customers and projects. They always update me via phone on what they find, the plan, the cost, and if I want to go through with it. Which I truly appreciate! After all, it is an expensive investment and one doesn't want to get robbed for their money right?? They are all super respectful and yet professional in their work. These guys truly care for customer satisfaction and deliver great service to all. I can not say it enough, but if you are ever having doubts on a mechanic or are looking for a new spot...... THEN GO HERE!!!! You will not regret it.

If you're looking for an automotive shop to take your vehicle to look no further. Respect Auto Works is your one stop shop for repairs, maintenance, performance, tuning and custom modifications. Ethil and the team at Respect Auto Works carefully examine and explain your cars issues and give you different options to go about the repairs. Respect Auto Works is the only shop I trust to take my classic Japanese cars and modern high performance tuner cars to for tuning and custom modifications. If you're looking for a trustworthy, precise and transparent shop you've come to the right place. With their tuning equipment and in-house heavy machinery this is truly your one stop performance shop. No job is too big or too small for the team at Respect Auto Works!

The only place in my area that I 100% trust to work on my s2000. Ethil and his team go above and beyond to make sure you're taken care of. Very reasonable price for the quality work. They even gave my engine bay a courtesy detail before I picked up the car

I had made appointment to drop off my car for a Diagnostic, and they were quick to find the problem and fix it for me! Great customer service, super friendly, and they were even nice enough to detail my engine bay!

Will you fix the problem with no extra charge if diagnostic is done and it wasn't your first guess? Interesting. Our 2007 leg wasn't fixed. Your response was to remove light then get smogged right away. Could have suggested that before taking 500$

If I could give zero stars I would…read more.... Worst car service I've ever had. I understand I'm a female but what they did was sloppy and disrespectful. We took our car to this shop to get fixed and they made the car worse then lied about it. September 14th I met up with the manager and was told to go next door and order parts for my ($400 in parts) 2017 Honda Civic. I was told they would paint the bumper on the 15th and put everything in on the 16th. They didn't pain the bumper until the day of and it was a terrible paint job. Paint running. You can see where they tried to scrape paint off. September 16th I bring the car in, they were to put on a radiator support and a new bumper. When I go to pick up the car the mansuor the man that worked on the car tried to act like all my service lights were on when I dropped it off when this wasn't the case. Before I dropped the car off it was driving perfectly fine never had any issues with how the car drove, and the only serivice lights that was on was the tire light. Automatically he states that he did not touch anything electrical. Why he felt the need to point that out? We found out shortly after. He asked if we want to drive it and he gets in the driver seat to try and avoid me from driving it. When I asked to drive the car it did not drive the same at all. There was no power to my car. He then states that it must be a system issue. Drives the car around the corner nowhere to be seen instead of driving it back into the shop to fix it. Then later on he states to my wife that there was three wires that he accidentally broke while trying to fix the cars and is joking about it like it was funny. He brings the car back and it's driving better but all the lights were still on. He stated that the lights would go off in 60k miles. I drive to work and on my way home I stop at the gas station and as soon as I go to leave the car loses power again and shuts off. We take it back to the shop and the guy is nowhere to be found when he knew we were bringing the car in. Some new guys worked on it. Stated the car should be fixed and good to go now. It wasn't we were driving to work and the car overheated and shut off. We open the hood and the radiator cap wasnt put on correctly. The cap to my battery is missing, the stick to hold up the hood is now broken as well as the latch to lock the hood. The whole situation was terrible. Idk how people actually take their vehicle here.

Fast, easy and reliable! Mansoor is hands down the best!!!! Can't recommend him enough!!!!! Called…read morefor a quote, received the same day and dropped the car the following day. Very reliable, trustworthy and quality work. Took a week for the fix! Honestly, the neighborhood may be a bit rough but the workmanship, knowledge, care and service is unbeatable. ALSO, this shop is HALF the cost of any auto body shop around. Literally, HALF. 9th Street Collision is our body shop for all of our car needs!!! Our before and after pics speak for themselves. Job well done to Mansoor!!!!!!!!
