I've used Wolfe's for my Passat on and off for the past 7 years and generally had good experiences. However, back in December 2024, I had some work done here, and during a recent oil change I performed myself, I noticed the plastic splash shield under the car was missing. I called to ask about it, and they said they weren't sure what happened -- and added that they shouldn't have needed to remove the shield in the first place. The part is only about $100 (plus a $38 bolt kit), but it doesn't just fall off, and I know for sure it was on the car when I dropped it off. While mistakes can happen, this one wasn't caught or communicated -- and now I'm left replacing a part that shouldn't have been touched. Bottom line: inspect the work and make sure all your parts are still there afterward. Wolfe's had a good track record with me before, but unfortunately, I can't come back after this. read more

Hello im a mobile auto repair company in the area servicing San Jose and surrounding cities @kencomobileautorepair on Instagram.i came to this location for a estimate for some spare coolant since I was doing a roadside job right across the street.upon arrival I was greeted by a staff worker and I informed him of the situation.after hearing my situation' he followed with "you blew your head gasket " even though I'm a ASE certified master tech and never got anywhere near overheating the car .i informed him that all I needed was some coolant and that the car is fine .he insisted it was an head gasket without even looking at the car and tried quoting me .i did not ask for his "mechanical expertise " and simply wanted a quote for some coolant while I was in the area.he refused to do so and tried giving me quotes for a job that was not needed.these type of people are the reason why us mechanics in this industry get such a bad wrap and always getting critiqued .people like this are the reason why people don't trust us in this industry all because of a few bad apples .as a local mechanic in the area I highly advise of staying clear from this area and going else where. read more

I'm old enough to have been ripped off by mechanics more than once and in different cities. It's taught me to be suspicious of even the smallest interaction with an auto mechanic... Until I started getting my car serviced by Leonard at Wolfe Auto. Across two cars I've owned, for about 20 years I've just handed the car to him and never worried about his charges or the quality of his work. He's knowledgeable, thoughtful, and informative. He's conservative in the work. He also really enjoys talking cars and knows every bit as much about them as you'd expect. read more

Great service here and honest. Wondering though is this service still open or did they close or move? And where did the serviceman Leonard go? read more

I recently put gas in my car at this location. Same day later time I see a charge of $200... WTH!

Wow - This mechanic really brightened up my day! It's Monday, it's raining and what do you know I have a flat tire. A friend at work recommended this mechanic and I was sure happy. The flat was fixed in no time at all and the mechanic was very friendly. I will be returning here for my smog check and if I have any car problems. He works in the Shell Station at the corner of Wolfe and Old San Francisco in Sunnyvale. read more

Our family has used Leonard at Wolfe Auto Service to maintain and repair about seven different vehicles over the last 25 years. Especially the older vehicles have had some difficult issues. He is generous with his time when discussing how something failed and what the repair will entail. He is a certified master mechanic and exhibits top-level knowledge, skills and experience. We have always felt that he did an excellent job at a reasonable price. Several friends we have referred over the years have also been very pleased. read more

Took my car in for what seemed like electrical issues. Turns out the turn signal bulb just needed to be changed to a new one. Leonard was honest about how much he might need to charge up front because we didn't know what the issue was exactly. Then he only ended up charging me $10 for the bulb change even though he spent at least an hour diagnosing the car. Very honest and very competent guy. Highly recommended. read more

I live near Wolfe Auto Service and both my wife and I have had our cars serviced by Leonard for the last 6-7 years. He is super honest and knowledgeable. Most recently, my 2008 Nissan Altima died suddenly on Dec 29 on the road after getting some warranty service done by the dealer. Leonard was super upfront and honest about what the issue was and he charged a very reasonable rate for the diagnostic. He even spoke with the dealer service advisor to discuss and the dealer accepted responsibility for the issue. Leonard is a true professional and an honest mechanic. read more

There really are honest auto mechanics in the world (or at least one) and Leonard is living proof. He is not only honest, charges great prices, but he is also one of the smartest guys I know. I have been going to him for the past decade and he has been able to resolve every issue I've thrown at him, and some have been pretty strange. He always figures out the cause and explains it to me in an easy to understand manner. I never do anything with my cars without consulting Leonard first. He was recommended to me by a close friend years ago, and I have since recommended him to many others. He is hands down the best mechanic I've ever used, and I have gone to many, including dealerships. I would have written this review years ago, but I (finally) obtained a Yelp login and this was the first review which I needed to write. read more

I've been going to Wolfe Auto Service for the last couple of years for various repairs, oil changes, and flats. Leonard is a great mechanic at this Shell station and has helped me out when I was in a pinch with my car several times. One time I had a small unidentified metal rod hanging under my car dragging against the road. Leonard checked it and popped it back into place in a couple seconds and even though I offered to pay, he didn't even charge me for the service! Now THAT'S an honest and talented mechanic. Highly recommended. read more

I had my car serviced here for the past 3 years, and I'm very satisfied with the service so far: Repairs were always completed within time and estimate, he found cheaper replacements than initially quoted several times. Also advised me "your breaks need new pads, but you can wait until the next oil change". I'm not sure whether he can deal with trickier electronics issues, didn't need it so far. read more

Leonard from wolfe auto service (in sunnyvale) is an intelligent, reliable and honest auto mechanic. I have been taking my passat and Honda to him for over 5 years. Not only does he know his stuff well but he is very professional, organized and upfront with his estimates and repairs. I am by no measure an automobile genius, but I have never had trouble understanding leonard's explanation of issues/fixes, and knowing what exactly is being done makes me very comfortable. His workmanship is excellent and his pricing is fair and reasonable (neither cheap nor expensive). He is not one to use cheap or 2nd hand material to fix your car. Most importantly When you talk to Leonard or see him at work you know you are dealing with an honest individual who is not out to get your money at the first opportunity. read more

This is the first review I've written on Yelp. I've been taking my car (a Ford Explorer), my wife's car (a Nissan Altima) and my mother-in-law's car (a Nissan Maxima) to Leonard at Wolfe Auto Service for about seven years, and he is excellent. He has very competitive prices, and he is also a very intelligent guy. He can explain car problems in layman's terms, and apparently he can fix just about any vehicle. Going to and from work, I regularly drive by his shop (at the Shell Station on the corner of corner of Old San Francisco Road and Wolfe Road in Sunnyvale), and he has just about every make and model in his shop at one time or another. He has always been fair and accurate in my dealings with him. Also, his prices are outstanding. For example, we needed a new set of tires for my wife's Altima, and his prices were the best I could find. I highly recommend him. read more

After getting shoddy work done at a few other repair businesses in the area, I decided to try this place instead which is a few blocks away from where I live. I was pleasantly surprised at the result and I've been taking my car repair work there ever since then. It looks a bit chaotic and disorganized inside the shop, but don't let that fool you. Leonard is very thorough and honest about the work he does there. He is very good mechanic and doesn't try to tack on unnecessary fixes to raise the bill. He will also fix the issue the first time around and you don't have to worry about making return trips to try and "fix" the same issue over and over again, read more

I've been here 3 or 4 times in the past three years for my 2001 saturn repairs. Leonard (the owner) always treats you well and you feel confident you are getting the right work at the right price. read more
