He was serious and he proves that to me time and time again with the repairs he does on my cars. He keeps all parts he takes off to show you He buys his parts as at cost through a distributor and does not up charge. If the best is $22 that's what he charges you. He will hardly ever say no to you He is more than willing to examine and 'take a quick look and listen' as a curtosy He was once repairing the button to close the side door of my van, he opened up the other side and noticed that one was looking a little frayed so just fixed it to save me the hassle later but didn't let it affect the labor time. I cannot day enough good about him. His is TRUSTWORTHY AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE which in my opinion are the TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU WANT IN A MECHANIC!

The owner didn't mention ay additional charges. When I went to the shop , the owner told me I need to pay additional $40 dollars for oil recycling which is not mentioned on the groupon website. I told him I can accept the charge and I need the receipt with the $40 additional charge to follow up with groupon about it. The owner said I am not interested in the deal anymore and asked me to leave and get a refund from groupon. I also noticed the owner increased the break fluid flush price on groupon from $160 to $240 after I left the shop today. It's a really bad experience for customers that the owner can change his mind and reject the service. Update for owner's review below "a vehicle that is directly not covered in the advertisement" , groupon adversisement doesn't mention any special vehicle price. After the owner told me to charge additional $40, I was confused and later accepted the charge while telling him to get the receipt for reference then I can follow up with groupon. After that, the owner refused to do the service. I guess the owner don't want his practice to be exposed to groupon.

So I went about searching for the best deal around (considering I didn't want to put in too much into a car that are in its last years). After an exhaustive search, you can trust me in saying you won't find better (mix of still high quality, but not premium high quality price cost to go with it) -- you ain't gonna beat his/their rate & quality at $120/hr. Brett is an earnest, eager guy who wants to do all he can to help you out. So I imagine the rest of his team/shop is reflective of that. He's on the younger side compared to other mechanics who run their own shop -- who end up really set in their ways and many have become complacent or too presumptive to be open to anything else or more. I brought in that used car to get a good look over and to confirm what the Pre-Purchase Inspection observed about it. He was able to confirm some things, and clear out some other concerns after taking a closer look at it. Most importantly; he was able to catch the things that he should've, and didn't fabricate more merely to pad on costs -- ultimately making/exampling him as trustworthy. He has since fixed/troubleshooted the car having trouble starting (he diagnosed/figured replacing/upgrading the spark plugs; which did the trick), replaced headlights, and simple oil change. In all, I saw that he properly charged the time appropriately with partial to his per/hour rate -- which, again, speaks to his integrity & trustworthiness (as many sleazy underhanded shops would charge a full hour's work even if it took a fraction of the time). He instilled confidence & faith so much that I brought my brand new 2026 SUV to him (which, I imagine, I would've brought to Precision Auto Care in San Leandro normally to do the high end care) to get the catalytic converter shield installed. His guy did a good job (at the very least I have no complaints, but I'm not so knowledgeable to know much more of a difference). My only qualm about it is I was quoted 2 hours of work, but I did end up having to hang around and wait for 3 hours. But, again to speak to impressive work ethic & integrity, was charged 2 hours. His place processes with impressive paperwork, listing every single aspect looked at and worked on, pricing, cost break down. What makes me a bit nervous is that when I sign for the estimate, it doesn't show cost on it; so if any disputes, any prearranged pricing/cost wouldn't be binding. If he gave less of a trustworthiness vibe, it would be best to insist it be on the estimate. But I get the feeling that I imagine if there was any dispute, Brett would do his absolute best and bend backwards to understand, accommodate, and make it right (even if it would go against established practices). Parking is very challenging. If you can't simply pull in, I suggest calling and talking to him to figure out how he wants it (it's what I've had to do each time). A few times, he would move his VW car from the street parking spot in front of his shop to place my car, others he had used the unused parking lot around the corner (which has since been fenced off; so that's a no-go any longer), and last time he moved a car at the front of the garage to have my SUV enter -- if you aren't confident or new to your car, I HIGHLY urge & suggest you simply have him bring it in; I know for sure I would damage my car (after I initially gave an attempt), while he successfully did it with confidence/experience. And when the car was done, they placed the car in the aforementioned unused parking lot (no-go anymore), or this last time around the corner down a whole block. I drive the 8 miles just to bring it to Brett and Car Care Service; because he offers the best quality service at the best rate around -- being eager to help, decent, high work ethic/trustworthiness, capable, and I know I don't have anything to worry about with him/them.

I have a business in Oakland with several trucks and prefer to have one local mechanic for all needs whenever possible. Because of this, it's important that we have someone reliable, knowledgable and honest. I found all of this with Royal Auto. Just this week, I had 2 trucks that needed to be towed in. Craig, the owner, was always available to take my call and acted quickly to get my vehicles back on the road by the end of the business day. He stocks the parts (or has a good local source) which saves on down time. Reasonable prices (I routinely compare local companies); the 2nd breakdown which had left us stranded was only $75 to repair. He thought to clean the throttle which solved the problem quickly, and without great expense to my company. I am appreciative of their work and highly recommend them. I rarely write reviews, but wanted to compliment their good work. Susan Frank / President Suma Landscaping read more

As the owner of Wholesale Transmission Service in Berkeley, I have had a long list of customers in need of "general repair" during the Thirty Eight years I have been in business. Since I specialize in the Rebuilding of Automatic Transmissions only, I have referred my customers to shops where I know the honesty of the owner and the reliability of his work. For the last Fifteen years I have sent my customers to Craig the owner of Royal Auto Repair on Lincoln Avenue in Alameda. Over that period of time I have not received one complaint in the manner in which they were treated or quality of his repairs or the fairness of his prices. The last thing I need is one of my customers returning and criticizing the shop that I recommended him to go to. You can't do better than Royal Auto Repair based on my personal experience. Respectfully, Jack Fox (Owner) read more

This dude is a rock star. Long story short: walked outside to see my car's bumper in the middle of the road. A note on my windshield from a witness who only got partial plates. Police and insurance couldn't be bothered to find the jerk that hit me and didn't leave his contact info. I was paying out of pocket so I didn't want a $2,000 job for a new bumper that sang and danced. This guy quoted me $225 to just stick it back on so its drivable. He called me an hour or so later and said it actually took him less time than he thought so it was only going to be $165. Erm, wow. That's honesty at its finest. This review is a little delayed. We're about six months in and the bumper is still attached. Can't thank him enough and recommend this place wholeheartedly. read more

Quoted $800 ended up with $900 with no explanation. Dropped it off the night before and still didn't finish in one day as promised. Had to cancel all evening trips and appointments. He seemed completely unconcerned - no apology. Guess the muscle cars were more important than my business. Just lost a long-time customer. With these prices (and no detailed explanation like the price of parts vs. labor), I might as well go to the dealer. Had to walk down the block and around the corner (he didn't know where his helper had parked it) only to find it unlocked, with greasy fingerprints all over it. read more

I call royal after getting another est. from ( unnamed alameda shop ) of over $1700 they said I needed 4 tires, water pump, and a transmission flush. Well this car is just my around town car and is only worth $1,900 after bringing it royal they found out the water leak was only a hose clamp not the water pump, after showing me the tread we decided to only buy two tires and rotate the normal size spare tire in. Also instead of a transmission flush we replaced the filter and topped off the fluid. I got away with spending less than half. Thanks Craig I highly recommend Royal Auto Repair. read more
