Very difficult to find. Unfortunately, the business was closed during regular business hours (2:30 on a Wednesday) when I arrived.

Really hard to find an honest fair priced mechanic. This place fits the bill for both. Fair prices…read moreon oil changes, tire rotations, alignments. Fair pricing on other services too. Before you decide to go with wherever you're getting a quote from, check this place out.

On April 21, 2025, I took my car to Auto Stop because it was leaking oil. I had been using them for…read moreoil changes and had always been happy with that service, so I trusted them with this repair. They diagnosed the source of the oil leak, and because I have an extended warranty, I went through the warranty process and authorized the repair. Their labor rates exceeded what my warranty would cover, so I paid the difference out of pocket. Unfortunately, this is where my experience went downhill. After the repair, my car continued leaking oil for more than a year. I brought it back multiple times, and each visit resulted in another attempt to fix the problem, usually by adding more gaskets. It became clear that they were taking shortcuts rather than properly diagnosing and repairing the issue. At one point, I discovered they had even stuffed rags around the oil pan. After several unsuccessful repair attempts, Auto Stop finally admitted they could not fix the problem. To make matters worse, during the course of their repeated repair attempts, they damaged the upper oil pan. Their only recommendation at that point was to take the vehicle to the dealership. That's exactly what I had to do. The dealership corrected the original oil leak and repaired the additional damage caused during Auto Stop's failed repair attempts, leaving me to pay for work that could have been avoided. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Auto Stop. What should have been a straightforward repair turned into more than a year of frustration, repeated trips back to the shop, additional damage to my vehicle, and significant extra expense.

I came here for a smog check and it was very fast. At mid-day on a Wednesday there was no wait. It…read moretook about 10 minutes (2000 and later cars are just hooked up to the OBD II reader, quick visual inspection, and fuel cap inspection). The waiting area is air conditioned and has seating. Service was good as the workers were friendly and efficient. I purchased a Groupon for a smog check for a 2000 and newer car for approximately $26. The mandatory California State smog certificate fee was $8.25. This fee is the same at every smog shop and is paid to the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) to fund the smog check program; it is only paid if your vehicle passes. For a total cost of $34 it was a good deal. At the time of writing, this shop is not STAR certified. Be sure to check the BAR website to obtain an official list of STAR certified shops if you are required to visit a STAR Certified smog shop. This shop also repairs cars and has a four post lift and two post lift indoors. There were various items and a motorcycle under the four post lift so it seems that it is not used much. There is also a two post lift outside. There was a vehicle in the shop with a dealer license plate so it seems that this shop may purchase cars at auctions, repair, and sell them.

Had some work done to my car and these guys are great. My car had an issue where the battery was…read moregetting drained quickly and they were able to diagnose the issue the same day I dropped it off and the repairs were done the next day. Very upfront people there and I felt good about doing business with them.

Hello fellow Yelpers! I have to say this is my go to for…read moreoil changes. As a woman, I honestly get tired of being upsold on things not necessarily needed to be done to my car. The service techs don't do that here. You let them know what you need, you pull into the garage and sit in your car as the magic takes place. They will top off fluids, if needed put air in your tires and let you know if anything else may need to be handled in the future. They are not pushy. Oh, and they are quick! Not NASCAR quick but I'm talking quick. They are amazing techs who get the job done, who take pride in their work. I've been there 4 times and each experience has been positive. Give them a try! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I came back again for an oil change, and Dom and the team were wonderful! They were quick,…read moreefficient, and polite as always, but they also noted my poor car needed some TLC. There was absolutely no pressure or upselling, just straight-up documentation of what looked good, and what needed help. I came back the next day and got valve covers and timing belt replaced. Word to the wise: There's a waiting area and restaurants nearby, but the shop is so busy if you are in a hurry you don't wait for them to call. I dropped off my car at 8:30, but there was already two other folks in the shop's dual bays. They said it might take half an hour to take care of the other clients and then 2.5 - 3 hours to take care of business. I waited at the Starbucks across the way and showed up a little after 12... and the car was ready to go! I could've shown up earlier but Dom hadn't had a chance to call me. I appreciate Green Rider's speed, efficiency, clarity, and fair pricing. Thank you!!
