The shop that originally mounted my tires is in Fremont, but living in Oakland I needed somewhere closer. AVN was referred to me by Car Care Service. AVN is efficient w/ good service. I needed tires mounted & balanced, TPMS setup, and an alignment, and they got it all done in an hour and change. I showed up at the beginning of my appointment window and they were ready to go. Their pricing is straightforward & upfront, no hidden fees/surprises. As far as I can tell, everything was done perfectly. I'm not out here checking torque specs but I feel I can trust their work based on the referral and reviews. After everything was done they were also able to get a new tire mounted on my full-size spare. I will be back because I forgot to ask them to unmount the tires from my stock rims.

Today I brought in my new to me (used) sporty car because the tire warning light indicated a problem. AVN located and removed a nail and patched the tire. They also pointed out a missing lug and a stripped lug on another wheel.* No charge. I don't mean to claim that they never charge for patches, but I do want to point out that they treat their regulars well. Vo and I discussed the condition of my current tires and various options for eventual replacements. He was well informed and gave clear advice with no sales pitch. AVN's tire supplier's warehouse is on Bay Farm, so if you need tires that aren't in stock onsite, it's very likely that they could be delivered within 30-60 minutes. There's a lot to like about AVN. * Bonus Review: Alex's crew at Diamond Auto (where I purchased my car) replaced 2 lugs. If you're looking for a reliable used car salesman, I recommend Alex.

1701 Auto Care

I made a call and the same repair that I was quoted as $480 at another local auto repair shop, Sebastian quoted me as about $250 dollars. And then the other repair of the right and left arms for some part of the engine that I was quoted as $1184 by the other Auto shop, Sebastian told me that it's normal wear and doesn't need to be repaired yet. Now it makes sense that the previous repair shop wanted to charge me $50 per bulb to put in when my bulbs went out on my car. So I went and got the bulbs myself at O'Reilly's and put them in myself the first time until I found out O'Reillys offers complementary bulb replacement. Between 1701 and O'Reillys, I think I may be able to survive and keep my car running. Grateful for honest affordable 1701 Auto Care! Thank you, Sebastian.

I live an hour away now and I will still continue driving out to take my car here !

Brett and his garage repair shop is great/top-notch! The best mix of high quality and rate around!…read more(trust me, I've called around to 35 shops for their labor rates) I've been taking my cars to Precision Auto Care, but I recently bought a cheap 20 year old used car (hey, it only had 107k miles on it!), so I didn't need any premium pricing costs towards its maintenance. So I went about searching for the best deal around (considering I didn't want to put in too much into a car that are in its last years). After an exhaustive search, you can trust me in saying you won't find better (mix of still high quality, but not premium high quality price cost to go with it) -- you ain't gonna beat his/their rate & quality at $120/hr. Brett is an earnest, eager guy who wants to do all he can to help you out. So I imagine the rest of his team/shop is reflective of that. He's on the younger side compared to other mechanics who run their own shop -- who end up really set in their ways and many have become complacent or too presumptive to be open to anything else or more. I brought in that used car to get a good look over and to confirm what the Pre-Purchase Inspection observed about it. He was able to confirm some things, and clear out some other concerns after taking a closer look at it. Most importantly; he was able to catch the things that he should've, and didn't fabricate more merely to pad on costs -- ultimately making/exampling him as trustworthy. He has since fixed/troubleshooted the car having trouble starting (he diagnosed/figured replacing/upgrading the spark plugs; which did the trick), replaced headlights, and simple oil change. In all, I saw that he properly charged the time appropriately with partial to his per/hour rate -- which, again, speaks to his integrity & trustworthiness (as many sleazy underhanded shops would charge a full hour's work even if it took a fraction of the time). He instilled confidence & faith so much that I brought my brand new 2026 SUV to him (which, I imagine, I would've brought to Precision Auto Care in San Leandro normally to do the high end care) to get the catalytic converter shield installed. His guy did a good job (at the very least I have no complaints, but I'm not so knowledgeable to know much more of a difference). My only qualm about it is I was quoted 2 hours of work, but I did end up having to hang around and wait for 3 hours. But, again to speak to impressive work ethic & integrity, was charged 2 hours. His place processes with impressive paperwork, listing every single aspect looked at and worked on, pricing, cost break down. What makes me a bit nervous is that when I sign for the estimate, it doesn't show cost on it; so if any disputes, any prearranged pricing/cost wouldn't be binding. If he gave less of a trustworthiness vibe, it would be best to insist it be on the estimate. But I get the feeling that I imagine if there was any dispute, Brett would do his absolute best and bend backwards to understand, accommodate, and make it right (even if it would go against established practices). Parking is very challenging. If you can't simply pull in, I suggest calling and talking to him to figure out how he wants it (it's what I've had to do each time). A few times, he would move his VW car from the street parking spot in front of his shop to place my car, others he had used the unused parking lot around the corner (which has since been fenced off; so that's a no-go any longer), and last time he moved a car at the front of the garage to have my SUV enter -- if you aren't confident or new to your car, I HIGHLY urge & suggest you simply have him bring it in; I know for sure I would damage my car (after I initially gave an attempt), while he successfully did it with confidence/experience. And when the car was done, they placed the car in the aforementioned unused parking lot (no-go anymore), or this last time around the corner down a whole block. I drive the 8 miles just to bring it to Brett and Car Care Service; because he offers the best quality service at the best rate around -- being eager to help, decent, high work ethic/trustworthiness, capable, and I know I don't have anything to worry about with him/them.

I can't say enough good things about A1 Wheels--these guys are the real deal! I recently took my Toyota Camry to them because my headlights were completely hazed over, making night driving a nightmare. A1 Wheels not only restored them to a crystal-clear finish, but they also took the time to explain the process, ensuring they would stay in great shape for the long haul. But what really blew me away was how they fixed an issue that even the dealership couldn't figure out. My 2007 Camry had been having a mysterious power steering issue--intermittent stiffness, almost like the power steering would cut out randomly at low speeds. The dealership ran their diagnostics and came back with a vague response, telling me I'd need a completely new steering rack, which wasn't cheap. A1 Wheels took a deep dive into the problem and found that the steering intermediate shaft had developed excessive wear, causing binding at certain angles. Instead of jumping straight to an expensive replacement, they sourced the right part, installed it with precision, and completely restored the steering to smooth operation--all at a fraction of what the dealership quoted me. These guys don't just replace parts--they diagnose, troubleshoot, and fix problems the right way. If you want expert-level work with an authentic, no-nonsense approach, A1 Wheels is the only place to go. They've earned a customer for life. read more

Would definitely go back as Kham was a pleasure to work with.

Kam and his team from Community Auto Center do outstanding work. This is the second time I've gone…read moreto their shop. The first time was to help get a hitch installed. It was tough finding a place that will do it, but with great luck I stumbled upon Community Auto Garage. Gave them a call and they immediately responded and answered all the questions I had. They did an awesome job with the hitch installation. My boyfriend and I were able to enjoy riding our bikes out of town with their help! Fast forward to today, I had my car serviced for a faulty starter and bad alternator. I was quoted an insane amount at the dealership, but was quoted a much reasonable price here. It was smooth scheduling the appointment with Kam. Throughout the process, he was informative & communicative. He provided photos and videos and went above and beyond with updates! They were able to get my car done faster than their estimated time as well. It was such a relief working with them! They do fast, reliable and honest work. I highly recommend coming to their shop for any car troubles!

1701 Auto Care

Saved me $1414 getting my car fixed here! I had no idea that the other auto mechanic I've been…read moregoing to was so expensive. Someone recommended 1701 so I decided to give it a try. I made a call and the same repair that I was quoted as $480 at another local auto repair shop, Sebastian quoted me as about $250 dollars. And then the other repair of the right and left arms for some part of the engine that I was quoted as $1184 by the other Auto shop, Sebastian told me that it's normal wear and doesn't need to be repaired yet. Now it makes sense that the previous repair shop wanted to charge me $50 per bulb to put in when my bulbs went out on my car. So I went and got the bulbs myself at O'Reilly's and put them in myself the first time until I found out O'Reillys offers complementary bulb replacement. Between 1701 and O'Reillys, I think I may be able to survive and keep my car running. Grateful for honest affordable 1701 Auto Care! Thank you, Sebastian.

They did the service in half a day, and they were honest about not finding anything and that the car ran great. We were only charged for an oil change since they rotated the tires for free. This auto shop gives me hope since it has shown that they have integrity and quality of service. One tip: Make an appointment ahead of time since they tend to be busy.
