Toy Shop is the only auto repair shop in the Richmond you need to consider. Wayland and his staff are true professionals.

Ask the Community - Toy Shop

Wondering if I could come here for an appraisal on an '89 Land Cruiser?

How do you contact them? No one ever answers the phone - at least the last 10 times I've tried over a period of a couple of weeks. It rings out until it asks me to enter my remote code!

They don't answer their phone and wouldn't give me an estimate when I showed up in person. Apparently, they don't need any new business. Good for them.

I would like to know if I can bring my own parts for service here like brake pads and rotors? Thanks.

Yes, you can. I do it all the time. The parts will have to be of good quality, though. OEM or better because it could become a liability.

was looking for a auto repair shop on yelp to do a 60k servicing on my car since quality tuneup on…read morekirkham and 19th ave closed down some of the employees went to sunset 76 on noriega st. unfortunately sunset 76 is always swamped with walk ins with cars needing repairs. yes they do good work there but have only 3 bays inside (1 bay for oil changes) and 1 outside bay. this time i looked on yelp for a auto repair shop with 8 to 10 bays with racks or lift, somewhat closer to home, high customer satisfaction, in a not so congested and safe neighborhood so i chose stress free auto care on mcallister st stress free auto repair was transparent on what needs repairs through pictures, emails and texting whereas other auto repair places you have to take their word for it or not as detailed on a added repair. you have the option to accept or refuse the added repair quotes. stress free didn't over sold me anything that my car didn't need even though i inquired about it like coolant flush or transmission oil change as they looked at my cars repair records. they found a crack/torn sway bar boot with pictures as proof so i had that replaced especially with san francisco now famous for speed bumps and potholes that'll mess up your suspension. stress free auto even offer complimentary one way rides to wherever if your car is in the shop for longer periods of time. they even have a video camera in the garage to monitor in which you can access via phone to see if your car is in the bay or rack for repairs. robert the service advisor and ahmed took car of my cars need. price was reasonable. they communicated everything along the way promptly. will use them on my next servicing.

Appointments mean nothing to them here if you're doing a drop off and wait…read more I called 4 hours ahead of time. They gave me an appointment time. Showed up on time. The person at the desk said they're completely busy and cannot get to me, even with an appointment. No one bothered to called me to cancel. As a result, I had to drive back on my flat. If they had done the courtesy of even notifying me that they would be too busy, I could have easily found another place that day.

Atech Auto Repair - My brown oil being changed lol

Gotta love dealerships…read more... They'll rip you a new one when it comes to repairs esp with European cars. I found Atech on Yelp and used their project feature to request a quote. It also sent requests out to a few other shops, tho that part is always random, and not all of them were even close to me. Anyhow, Alex the owner responded in minutes and gave the most reasonable quote to change my BMW front brakes using OEM pads. I dropped my car off in the morning (they were working on several European cars), and it was ready by early afternoon, just as promised. Alex was honest, transparent, explained things in layman's terms, and made me comfortable as a woman who doesn't know cars. Just a heads up, in case you want to get some work done while you wait, there isn't a waiting room...just several lawn chairs near the entrance. But hey, it helps keep their overhead low, and those savings get passed on to customers!

5 stars - A-Tech Auto Repair Honestly, if your car's acting…read moreup and you need someone who actually gives a damn--go straight to A-Tech. Owner Alex is the real deal. Doesn't matter if it's a weird noise, a dead battery, or some mystery check-engine light that's been haunting you for months--he'll dig in, explain everything in plain English, and fix it without upselling you junk. Last week my alternator quit mid-commute. I rolled in stressed, no appointment, and Alex just said, "We got you," popped the hood, and had me back on the road same day. No drama, no fake urgency--just solid work and a fair price. If you want a shop that treats you like family (not a paycheck), this is it. Alex runs the place like he owns your car too. Highly recommend.

Excellent Fast,…read moreefficient, very friendly Great service Will definitely come back

Always get upsold going here with one of the owners telling me something else is wrong. I'm…read morepositive they will try to upsell you as well on something to fix. It makes sense as a business model, but they will make you feel BAD about your car after you leave, even if you don't notice anything wrong with it. This place is the CLASSIC spend $250 on an oil change and come out with a $2,500 job to fix things in your car you didn't realize or doesn't need fixing. The owner tried to recreate the problem with hard braking multiple times over a short distance (like a semi-auto machine gun), but really couldn't. Luckily I don't brake that way, and nobody else does either. Technician was nice, front desk woman is usually grouchy with a "matter of fact, can't be bothered attitude." But it is what it is. It's too bad because I come here to support local businesses, but I've always felt off after spending money here. More context for why I feel there's always an upsell given Stan, the owner responded to my comment. * I came years ago for tires and was told I needed to change some random part. And then I took my car to my regular service place that doesn't do tires and they said the part was OK. I'm going to do the same and go to my regular mechanic and ask about my crow bars when they do the Service and report back. UPDATE: I got my service done at my mechanic and they said the suspension was fine! * When I asked whether Sunset Service do an oil change and service, they said "yes." So I asked them to tell me how much, which they couldn't until after they started working on swapping on my tires. No problem. They called 40 minutes later and first quoted $220, then said it was a misquote b/c they only had 6 quarts included instead of the 8 quarters my car needed. Fine, so then they said $260 with Castrol synthetic. They then pushed this product called Liqui Moly which is supposed to be a premium product out of Germany. That sounds good, but I have a 10 1/2 year-old car and no need for the fancy stuff for an extra $20 - $30 more. The normal Castro synthetic motor oil was fine. Then I asked whether they could pour an unopened bottle of Bar's Leak to help minimize a slight engine oil leak when they do the oil change. They said they could not due to Warranty Reasons. Really? Fine, even though it is an established product and just an oil change. But they did say that if I go with their Liqui Moly oil, which is at least $20 - $30 more expensive, they could add the Liqui Moly version engine oil leak product for another $27. Of course they could, especially when the product I bought cost only $7. This is obviously a smart upsell, which I ended up declining altogether because they wouldn't add my bottle. I'll just do it myself. It's too bad because I would have gladly paid the $260 or so to do the oil change and service to save time, even thought the quote was $20+ more expensive than my regular shop. So when I finally picked up my car with two new tires, I was surprised that Stan came out strong and said I have a knocking sound and need to change my control bars, even though he could not replicate the sound consistently or at all, even with his unnatural staccato hard breaking. Further, I have never heard of this knocking sound he mentioned. The cost to diagnose he mentioned was $200 (!), and then another $80-$120 for something else that would go towards fixing the car, and then potentially $2000 or more for new control bars. Wow. There was no patient explanation on something I clearly was surprised about. Then there was what aggressive questioning of where I get my car maintained, implying they were negligent, and I told him where. I also told him I'm getting a service done next month as I'm meticulous about maintaining the car and this is the first time I've heard of the problem he identified. Then he said I should get the big 100,000 mile service even though I only have 67,500 miles. Fair enough, but not at Sunset Service. So this is where I'm coming from in terms of feeling like I'm always getting upsold. How would you feel? I'm glad Stan took the time to respond. Customers like me are at the "top of the funnel," leads that could generate more business. However, I feel there is a better, more patient, and empathetic way to upsell to generate more business. I will stick to my regular mechanic for service whenever the light goes on. Sunset Service gets the job done for my multiple tire replacements. They have competitive pricing and they got it done within 1.5 hours vs 1 hour estimate. Everything else, I'm not so sure.
