It turned out that the sidewall was punctured and not fixable, but they ordered the same tire and put on the spare for me (no charge). I came back in a few hours and it got done. This is old-school; the way things should be. Then you look around and see a fleet of high-end Mercedes, Audis, and BMWs. And they treated me well with a *Corolla*! This is a *good* auto shop.

IT'S TRULY STRESS FREE!…read more I drive a salvage Toyota Corolla which has been giving me lots of problems. This time it was the check engine light. I found this place on Google and immediately LOVED their jingle which already put me in a better mood. The service rep was super nice, I believe his name was David. I explained to him what was going on, he listened and took me seriously. I brought up other concerns I had with the vehicle and he was able to make time for me the very next day during the busy holiday season. I love how attentive and communicative they are. They call and/or text. They don't try to upsell you or charge you extra for their services. David was very transparent and answered my questions honestly. I like how they send you a report of your car with pictures of things that are critically important, urgently, or good to go. It helped me decide what I wanted to turn my attention to and fix. They will not start or do any repairs to your car without your permission. Wes, the manager, was very nice as well and made my car pick-up process easy! Overall would come to again! I highly recommend! Thanks guys!!!!

I even had them do another repair that was completely unrelated because I was so happy with our service, I can't recommend them enough. I have four cars.

The process was pretty quick and the shop was very responsive and even though I did not elect to get additional work done, (I can do a lot of the regular maintenance stuff myself, really just wanted the diagnostic) I appreciated the constant updates on the work getting done, making it a very "stress-free" experience. Overall worth a visit as a first time customer and I'll be back for regular oil changes.

I went back to the shop 3 times over the course of ~9 months, each time discovering some issues and replacing the pad/disk (this is where i felt good about the shop, everyone welcomed me back and did the diagnose and replacement for free). I end up relacing the two front pad/disk with another brand (zimmerman? that's what i heard) and resolved all issues. Maybe I just got unlucky, but I have to leave my honest and true experience which exhausts me over the last year (imagine every time you back out of your garage and hearing this "click" sound from your brake system, with a baby in a car. You natually worries about your safety).

I did not expect to be writing a review of Palo Alto Auto Care, but here we are! After a drive down…read morefrom San Francisco I simply made a stop at an ARCO gas station in Palo Alto. Underneath my car was a puddle, and I saw fluid some dripping from my car itself. I wasn't sure if the dripping was from a splash of driving through the puddle, but it persisted. Luckily at about the same time one of the guys from Palo Alto Auto Care walked by and told me my car was leaking coolant, and it would not be safe to drive. The dripping did not stop - it was definitely my car... yikes! Since his shop was behind the gas station, he offered to take a look to see the source of the leak. No conditions, it was more of a friendly offer. They couldn't view the problem by opening the hood, so they spent more time to raise up the car to better examine it. The reservoir had a crack, but he suspected the root cause was 90% likely from another part. Luckily both could be ordered and worked on that day. A few hours later my car was back in working order. While my wallet was lighter (and I didn't really have an opportunity to shop around), the price for parts/labor seemed reasonable at least compared to what I know I would have been charged from a dealer shop. I walked out more feeling "lucky in being unlucky." The guys there really saved my bacon - had I drove off disaster could have ensued, or at least paying for an expensive towing and worse repair from damage. Even though car repair is their business and it makes sense they would notice problems, I feel more like they were good Samaritans. (quite professional good samaritans no less!)

The nice gentleman working saw me through the window and rushed over to see what I needed. He said that because of the holiday weekend, that Tuesday would be better to make an appointment and he gave me the hours. At night, my brother took a look at my car and figured out my issue, so I actually didn't need to come back. But I called in the morning to let them know. And although I didn't need any work done, the shop looked very clean inside, and based on reviews and how I was treated when I walked in, I'd definitely come back if I run into any other issues with my vehicle. Thank you!
