Outstanding service. Oil change in less than 30 minutes and he didn't try to sell me extra services I didn't need.

Had my stock exhaust replaced with an aftermarket one, done in 1 1/2 hours for a very good price. No complaints, highly recommend. 10/10

Alex is top notch. Fair and honest, if it's not broke he won't fix it. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

I had the best experience with Martinez Auto Tech. I needed to do general maintenance for my Subaru…read moreCrosstrek at 60,000 miles. I'd been putting it off because finding the right shop (quality service, fair prices, honest recommendations, and not condescending) is so daunting. I enlisted my Dad who owns a dealership in LA to help me find the right Bay Area auto shop. He took the task very seriously and talked to 5+ shops. When he spoke with Martinez Auto Tech, he could instantly tell they were knowledgeable and they gave feedback on what was and wan't necessary for 60,000 mile service. Their prices beat out other local shops as well. When I dropped the car off they were able to take care of everything in one day (spark plugs, oil change, CVT drain and fill, brake flush, rear and front trans axel fluid) for under $1,000. To top it off they were so kind and happy to answer questions along the way. I never felt uncomfortable, unlikely majority of shops I've been to solo as a woman. 5 days later, our VW Golf died and wouldn't restart. I had it towed to their shop while they were closed over the weekend. I called them Monday morning to see if they could figure out what was going on. They were so accommodating and happy to squeeze me in without an appointment. They figured out it was an issue with the alternator and had the car back and running before the day was over. They didn't even charge me for charging up the car since I had just done my Subaru service. I really appreciate a small, local business that values their customers. This was such an act of kindness that I won't forget. I'll never service my cars elsewhere as long as I live in this area and will always recommend them to anyone - especially if you aren't a car expert and need honest guidance and recommendations. Thank you so much Martinez Auto Tech!

Drop the car off. My car sat there for eight hours finally my car was done. When I pick it up, I'm told that the starter was not the problem.... And then I was told that I owed $550 to pay for the starter they didn't need to be replaced. Now I have a wire that I have to touch to my battery to start my car and I'm $550 in the hole for nothing. won't be back, not even to fix the wire. I will go to somebody else. you lost my business forever.

I arrived at 1:50 p.m. for a scheduled appointment to have a tire repaired, but no one assisted me until 2:15 p.m. After inspecting the tire, I was told the puncture was too close to the shoulder to be repaired. While I understand that policies vary, I've had a puncture even closer to the shoulder repaired at another shop, so I found the explanation inconsistent. Since I needed to get back on the road, I agreed to purchase a replacement tire. Unfortunately, by 4:00 p.m., my vehicle was still sitting in the parking lot and hadn't been brought into the service bay. I had already informed the service advisor that I needed to leave before 5:00 p.m., and I was assured there would be no issue. Yet by 4:23 p.m., my car still hadn't moved. This experience was extremely frustrating. I regret choosing this location and purchasing my first set of tires here. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.
