    Do you guys work on Hyundais?

    Do you guys work for Fiat 500?

    No, we specialize in Japanese cars only.

    Do you guys work on Catalytic Converter for Prius?

    Can you diagnose alignment issues for a Nissan Rogue?

    No, We recommend Ace Tires in Sunnyvale for alignment issues.

    Does Yarnell service Nissan Leaf?

    Yes. I believe they only work on Toyota and Nissan

    Anybody know what's up with Yarnell's? They appear closed up tight and are not answering phones.

    They are opened, I was there for a pre-purchase inspection recently. (01/23/2019)

This place is actually part of the VW Dealership through some type of partnership. You check in/drop-off at their office next to the VW car lot. In my case, my car was driven over to the VW Dealership service area for the actual smog. 2. Prices were incredibly reasonable. $40 out the door for a smog! Total time was about an hour (in and out) 3. It is best to call ahead just to make sure someone is ready for you at the front desk. If they are not expecting you, the check-in office might be empty and you'll need to call them at the phone number listed on the door. 4. My car got washed after the smog check. I'm pretty sure this was a mistake, but WOW - what an unexpected surprise.

They are not a star certified smog check location, so if that is required on your renewal , then you can't go here. Fortunately, my car did not require that. Everyone was very friendly and respectful. The waiting areas were nice and comfortable. If you're not in a rush, this place is great. I have had other smog checks where I'm in and out in 15 minutes. This one is as closer to an hour. They did have the best price at $29.95 + $8.25 for a total of thirty-eight dollars and twenty cents.

Not even close to 40,000 miles on the transmission rebuilt and I already had a check engine light come on saying my torque converter clutch(internal issue) is out. Took it back Walter and they could only do so much with their code reader. He quoted me cheaper to get the transmission rebuilt AGAIN and I asked him why am I being charged and that it is too early for the transmission to go out. His response was "i only order and install the parts. I can only do so much" Decided to take my care else where Had a failed auto transmission on my 06 Acura TL and was referred here by Honda Anderson. Walter and his team definitely knows how to take care of their customers and his work is 10000% great! He is not like other mechanics that will rob you for your money. This guy makes sure your car is running smooth whether it's a failed transmission or something wrong with your car. His work is impeccable and amazing! He is very friendly and gives you the best price quote for whatever work that needs to be done. My car is running 3 years strong with a brand new transmission thanks to Walter, Jose, & Primo. I continue to come here for my oil changes just so I can give them my business. If you ever have a failed transmission, I highly recommend coming here. These guys do a phenomenal job and specializes in this area!

    Great experience with Alirio's Garage…read more My 2018 Infiniti QX80 (202k miles) developed a low-RPM hesitation/shudder during light acceleration. After doing some research, it appeared to be related to aging transmission fluid and the torque converter. When I contacted Jorge at Alirio's Garage, he immediately understood what I was describing and was willing to do the service properly rather than just a quick drain-and-fill. He performed a full transmission service including dropping the pan, cleaning the magnets, servicing the internal filter, and doing multiple staged fluid exchanges using OEM-spec transmission fluid so the old fluid in the torque converter and lines was actually replaced. The result was immediate -- the hesitation is completely gone and the vehicle drives smoothly again. What impressed me most was Jorge's honesty and attention to detail. He scanned the transmission control module beforehand to make sure there were no codes. He even pointed out some rust around the transmission pan drain area and recommended replacing the pan at a future service, but he didn't try to upsell the repair now. If you're looking for an honest and knowledgeable mechanic in Santa Clara, I would absolutely recommend Alirio's Garage. I'll definitely be back.
