A friend told me once , "The secret of being really successful in sales is not closing the deal. It's helping people find their way." I must have taken up an hour or more of Todd's time trying to figure out what I wanted for my truck. Spacers, lift kits, offsets... on and on! In the end I learned a lot and they did not get their sale. What they did get is my trust. It takes time and a willingness to have a conversation (sometimes many!) to figure out what people think they want vs what actually serves them best. That is rare today. This is not a business model that "scales up"; you can't automate or AI this kind of exchange. This is an old family business. Jeff Kalemba took over his father's business, swapping the first name for the last and expanding services, infrastructure and inventory steadily. Sometimes the kids are helping out. Todd and the crew keep things purring along, somehow finding the time for that deeper connection so lacking in the world today.

He took it to All Around Auto and they were able to diagnose the problem quickly. It was clear we'd have to rent him a car to drive home in and leave mine there as parts needed to be ordered and our vehicle was not first in line (they of course had other customers!). It took a week to get the parts and then a day to install the new fuel line. They were communicative and helpful thru the entire experience. It was an expensive fix, but it felt fair for all they had to do to fix the issue. Pro tip: pay in cash so you don't have to pay the credit card use fees.

Starting from the beginning, the first time I took my Mercedes to K Tech (an automotive company not…read morespecializing in Mercedes, to be noted) resulted in $5k worth of repairs and maintenance fees. I thought it's a 10-year-old car with around 140,000 miles on it, so it makes sense for it to need quite a bit of maintenance. However, what doesn't make sense, is why 3 months later, I took the car in for an oil change (which they called to remind me to do, and then a day after they called, I received a "check engine oil" light), and proceeded to tell me that my car has a major oil leak and that the engine is damaged? After that, I took my car back and within a few days, the engine failed for good. After reading how many 1-star reviews there are, I have lost any confidence and faith in K-Tech. Why didn't they catch the oil leak just a few months prior? If it started after getting the car repaired, why did it get as bad as it did and break down so quickly immediately after taking it to K Tech again? If the engine was truly leaking oil for the 3-4 months after spending $5k on repairs, wouldn't it have leaked all of the oil and broken down much sooner? Is it a coincidence that right after they called to remind us to do an oil change, my car started alerting me that there was an issue with the oil/engine? Why would my car develop a severe oil leak soon after spending $5,000 on various repairs? Is 140,000 miles in 10 years a reasonable number for a car to begin breaking down just because it's old, especially after spending so much on repairs? I doubt it. Is it a stretch to consider that all of this may have been incredibly deliberate, especially considering how many reviews are from other customers and even other mechanics who are convinced of the same? Even if the damage the car accrued wasn't due to intentional malice, could all of this have been prevented if they chose not to accept work for a car they did not specialize in? Just a few thoughts. Maybe this resonates with someone else.

Our tow truck, Aloha towing, (great experience but they don't have a yelp) dropped off my vehicle there. The next morning Dylan called me and let me know they would not have time to do the diagnostic that day but would try. They weren't able to but did get it taken care of early the next day and called me around 9:00 am. Total engine replacement!!!! Say it ain't so! However, Dylan went on to tell me that he had several customers take their Hyundai back to the dealer where it was covered under an extended warranty and gave me the information I would need to take it up with them. What a roller coaster. Luckily, I was still covered under the warranty, and it is in the dealers' hands now. Pray for me! Hopefully I won't have further vehicle issues, but I know where I want to go if I do! Thank you GG!

Typically a mechanic will call you and tell you what repair is needed before doing the work. Instead of calling me the owner went ahead and made $300 in repairs to replace a single sensor located in a very easy to get to part of the engine. I could have replaced that sensor myself in 5 minutes. He never called me and refused to budge on the price of the repair even when I pointed out that running a diagnostic and replacing a sensor doesn't take 1.5 hours. He also topped off all my fluids in my car without my permission and charged me $21 for just that. It's unfortunate because i planned to take my VW back there for more work in a few weeks but now I can't trust them.

This review is for a family member. He brought his daughter's newly renovated 1951 classic car to…read morethis shop for service. When he picked up the vehicle, it immediately started overheating-a mechanical issue that did not exist when he originally dropped it off. He returned the car so the mechanic could correct the overheating, but upon the second pickup, the vehicle was still overheating. Furthermore, the car's rare exterior classic visor was stolen while in the shop's exclusive custody. The visor is valued at $1,000.00, which does not include the additional costs for paint and labor to replace and install it. When he contacted the shop regarding the missing property, they denied the theft occurred on their premises and accused him of lying. Under California law, an automotive repair shop has a legal duty of care (bailment) to protect vehicles left in their possession and is liable for missing property. He has filed a formal grand theft police report and an official complaint with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. AVOID THIS BUSINESS IF YOU VALUE THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF YOUR VEHICLE!!
