Let me start by saying Do Not Get Your Car Serviced at Auto Doctor in San Leandro unless you DON'T…read morewant your car repaired, and you enjoy burning your money in a fireplace. During the summer I had my 2004 Honda Element serviced at Auto Doctor. Years back I took my same car to this place and they did a good job on my brakes. At that time this place was under a different owner and different mechanic, as well as the person who runs the front desk. Fast forward this past summer of 2025 the Auto Doctor is now under new ownership and the owner is the mechanic, along with a new girl who runs the front desk named Sandra. Summer of 2025, my air conditioner needed a total repair. Eric, who is the owner/mechanic did the repair on my air conditioner. I had to take a road trip and it was 98 degrees F and my A/C on full blast just got just cold enough to neutralize the cabin but never was totally cold. I took the car back and Eric claims he did the repair totally, and because the age of my car it made sense to him that the A/C wouldn't be as cold as when I bought the car. Hmm, it was super cold before it went out, so the age had nothing to do with it. Eric talked to me like the typical mechanic dealing with an uninformed customer. I came to this place because I needed to save some money, but it wasn't much savings in comparison to a car dealership. I told Eric that I worked for Hendrick Automotive for 6 years, so I definitely got advice from the mechanics there before Eric serviced it. Eric charged me just over $2000 for the A/C service. A month or so later the next repair turned out to be the absolute worst work done on my car from Eric. My car was severely idling up and down while driving it. I took the car to Auto Doctor and Eric claimed to have fixed the issue and charged me $700+. When I came to pick up the car and pay for the repair Sandra informed me that Eric said that my brakes severely needed replacing and that includes the rotors front to back, since they do not resurface rotors. I will continue more about the brakes shortly. After the repair, upon starting the car it always idled up very high before coming down to "normal". Seemed more like patch job from Eric. I continued to drive it since Sandra (the lady running the front desk said I had a 60 or 90 day warranty on service. In December 2025 my car started idling down again while driving like it was going to shut off. I drove it to Auto Doctor and Sandra said that Eric is closing the shop for 2 weeks for Christmas vacation. That's totally unacceptable for a car repair shop to close for that length of time, especially if customers are having post issues with a repair job. I ended up taking my car to San Leandro Honda, as I should've done in the first place. Honda kept the car for 24 hours and called me, informing me that from the previous repair Eric had disconnected my radiator fan and did not re-connect it. Furthermore, Honda took pictures of the spark plugs which were totally fried and one of them was cracked. Honda stated that was what was causing the car to misfire at higher speeds making the car appear to shut down while driving. Why didn't Eric check my spark plugs? Very odd. There was also a specific piece called the Transmission side mount. It needed to be replaced, which is also part of the reason the car was misfiring. Why didn't Eric mention that needed replacing? San Leandro Honda fixed all of that and charged me $1000. The car starts up like it did when I first bought it brand new 21 years ago. It drives perfectly and the engine is very smooth and quiet. So what service did Eric actually do? I asked Sandra if Eric did a patch job on my car and she said no, of course. Let's talk about the brakes. As I mentioned, Sandra said that Eric stated that my brakes needed to be replaced no later than early January to avoid any further damage and the price for repair would be about $600. While getting the other repair done I asked San Leandro Honda to do a brake check. They stated that my brakes are near perfect. The front brake pads were 6mm on the outer and 4mm on the inner, and the rear brakes were 6mm inner and outer. Hmm, Eric lied to me. He tried to swindle me out of a very costly and unneeded brake repair. If a dealership says a repair is not necessary or needed then they are telling the truth, because dealerships have a reputation for charging higher prices and looking for anything wrong with a customer's car to get more business. Eric is a scam artist. Auto Doctor San Leandro is a scam outfit. While Sandra (the lady running the front office) appears to be honest, she is just regurgitating to the customer what Eric tells her, so I will not fault her for that, but I'm certain she knows Eric's tactics. No quality service from Auto Doctor San Leandro. No value if you have to keep brining the car back to get it fixed again for the same problem under 60 days later, then being charged again. Avoid this place, unless you hate your money!!

During that visit, they recommended that I replace my timing chain. After having such a positive experience with the radiator repair, I decided to move forward with the timing chain service as well. While working on my car, they also found a few other worn parts, including a hose and spark plugs. Because I had delayed several repairs over the years, they helped identify what needed attention to keep my car running reliably. They were able to get the parts at a great price and worked with me on the labor costs, making the overall repair very reasonable. What really stood out was the communication. When I called to check on my car, the mechanic was still working on the timing chain repair and offered to send photos of the progress. He also shared his Instagram, where he posted stories explaining the repair process and showing exactly what was being done. It was helpful to see the work in real time and better understand the repairs. I actually found this shop because I used to go to the gas station nearby, and I'm very glad I gave them a chance. My BMW is running great now, and I truly appreciate the honesty, fair pricing, and quality service.
