    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.

    1. What is their hourly charge for labor on any repairs? 2. Cost of an oil change and 3k mile…

    150 an hour. Varies by vehicle for oil changes. Most vehicles are 85$ for full synthetic oil change unless you have a v8 or a bmw or mercedes etc.

    Heard about this shop through an acquaintance in a Facebook car group I'm a part of. The way that…read morethe guy described this shop instantly had me wanting to book service here; it was described as very meticulous, fair, and thorough. That's exactly the kind of service that I like to do when I work on my vehicles myself. I needed to have the brakes flushed on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler. The price that was quoted was less than the dealership wanted, and was very fair. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to drop me off and pick me up from the local coffee shop, where I was able to work while the service was being done. When we got back to the shop, he showed me the brake test that was performed, as well as showed me some of the other cool vehicles in the shop. I am already in the process of booking a service for another one of my vehicles here, and see no reason for me to look anywhere else in the foreseeable future.

    Honest work, great communication. I noticed leaking fluid from my BMW and the dealership quoted me…read morean insane amount for many things that didn't make sense I needed repaired yet for a newer car. Brought it into this shop (best to stop by, they don't always pick up the phone # listed online but is great once you talk to Bobby) to get it assessed. Very professional- and they looked at the issue, gave me a fair quote, and finished on time. Even showed me the parts cracked and didn't charge me more of an oil cap that wasn't fitting right. 10/10! Glad to find a local shop in Martinez

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!

I thought the starter went out in my car and so I called and made an appointment. 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.
