I left my car there on a Wednesday about noon. It is now Tuesday end of day (6 days later) and I called them 4 times over the last week (and left 4 voicemails with my return phone number) to find out status of my car which should have at least had the diagnostic by this point. No one picked up and there was no returned phone calls. I am just going to go in tomorrow and pick up my car and take it to another location. Update 6/30: It seemed the mechanics were fine, I'm sure it is a capable shop. I finally got a call on Friday (1 hour before i was going in to pick up my car to move it to another repair shop). The nice person who accepted my car let me know that they had completed the diagnostic. I told him I was just gonna come in and get it since it had been 9 days since i had dropped it off and couldn't get ahold of anyone there. Plus on my voicemail on Tuesday i had said to cancel the diagnostic. I picked up my car and took it to another place. Also worth noting... I responded to the yelp response below on Wednesday with screenshots of my call log and the address where i took it. I got no response from that email address, no phone call, no nothing. I suspect the problems with this place are one or more of the following: * They have a LOT of cars onsite. My guess is that they are accepting too many and we would all be better served if they didn't over commit and said no to some of us. * I am guessing there used to be someone who was in charge of answering phone calls and responding to voicemails and communicating with the mechanics. Now there seems to be no one dedicated to this (though maybe an overworked mechanic who is stretched too thin). On Friday the person i worked with seemed to have no knowledge I had cancelled my diagnostic 4 days earlier. * Maybe they have an automated system for responding to one star yelp reviews... and it is not being monitored anymore. * Maybe their phone system is down or misconfigured and they are losing phone calls and voicemails. * Maybe the owner (or office manager) is sick. I hope they get better if so. read more

$60 for oil change vs 44.xx with code as advertised in AAA website. There was no place to enter in the discount code when booking the appointment. Feels like a bait and switch. There are 10$ coupons on the internet but was told found them too late. 1.5h to do an oil change. waited 25m for them to start for a 1pm appt while person was on phone. Used to be MPG repair. They do an inspection looking for high profit repair items they can talk people into like they look into carfax records and if they don't see maintenance records they come back with spark plug replacement, replacing radiator hoses etc. The classic stuff. From scotty killmer YT channel: don't fall for the spark plug scam. People forget when the last change was. If you forget take one off and look at it before deciding. OIl change DIY is $20. Toyota dealer sells oil filters for $5. Shocking it is that low. Alawys buy the wiper insert from the dealer, dont buy the entire blade from Costco. Big ripoff. The small piece of rubber you replace is a lot cheaper than replacing the entire blade. Not a fan of the AAA collab. Feel like am being used for profit optimization. read more

Excellent customer service. I asked them to rotate tires, when l returned they said car was in good shape, didn't need to have them rotated. Seems like some places would have charged me, either rotated or not but charged me. read more

Mis-Diagnosed the problem !! Told me I needed new alternator for $1800 when it was just dirty battery terminals. I Cleaned the battery terminals and installed new battery myself. Alternator output voltage now shows Good charging voltage. Alternator was fine all along. read more

Unprofessional. I scheduled an appointment for oil change about a week and a half in advance for a Saturday service. Fast forward to the day of, I received a phone call from one of the mechanic saying that his schedule is "busy" and would need me to reschedule... Like what? I made the appointment in advance, and even so, why would you inform me last minute to reschedule on the day of the service when you could have let me know ahead of time just like how I scheduled my appointment in advance. Ridiculous. read more

I'm a new customer and I will now always take my car here for future services and repairs based upon the positive experience I had. Helpful, straightforward, clear communication and billing with the front desk. No upsell, no fear mongering that my car is about to fall to pieces or explode on the freeway, they just took great care of my car by running diagnostics and fixing exactly what needed to be fixed. read more

Great customer service, knowledgeable and professional. Ricardo and Fidel who run the front office make for a great team. All work is warranted and a comprehensive written report is provided after each service. Very fair priced too. read more

Did a great job helping me with my oil change and overall service , rates were great and they didn't try to push me stuff that are not necessary! Thank you guys read more

AAA Mountain View is quick and efficient! I've had to go in for minor and more major issues but each time I'm impressed by the quality of work they do on my car. read more

Drove from SoCal to Mountain View and my car's splash guard started dragging. I called the shop the next morning and they told me they could take it in the same day in the afternoon. I came in and Ricardo was friendly and professional. They diagnosed the problem and got the splash guard off very quickly. Will be taking my car back to be serviced by them in the future! read more

They found something that was very bad in my car - a misfiring spark plug. This was affecting the overall engine health of the car. They replaced the spark plugs and the driving experience is noticeably smoother. This was something that the Toyota dealer had overlooked for the last few years so i'm pretty impressed. I also appreciate their customer service. A person will talk to you and answer your questions. They don't upsell services to you that you don't need. Fidel and Donnel are awesome. The vehicle report is available online and they take pictures of anything that needs addressing. The inspection occurs before the repair - unlike the Toyota dealer. My wife and I are extremely pleased with them and we will be back for all our maintenance needs. read more

I have my car there due to stall issue for over 2 months. While I give them points for some effort. I believe their misdiagnosed the issue over and over. Had problem reproducing the stall after 3 weeks, but finally was able to after following my instructions to the letter. First started with fuel pump, then reversed course and then dam shaft sensor. Lastly landed on the air intake manifold. Nothing fixed stall on my car. Asking some basic questions to Fidel which was deflected. Only comments made was due to intake manifolds which shows no symptoms of coolant leaks, or anything else one can easily find on the internet with some common deductive reasoning. Only comments Fidel makes us that they are not making money on my car and it's been fighting them. It's not rocket science! Give me options and answer my questions without repeating your suspicions which has been wrong again and again. Use deductive reasoning and not just replacing one thing after another. read more

These guys are great! They're thorough, honest, and very generous in sharing information. I had them check out a used car I was considering buying, and they saved me a lot of money, stress, and potential aggravation. Highly recommended!! read more

I cant say enough about my experience at this shop. I was reluctant to have work done on my 68 Camaro there...but I picked up my car today and am really glad I did. Fidel was amazing, he communicated with me throughout the process. He was friendly, professional and had a good understanding about classic car mechanics. Actually, all the guys there were friendly and helpful. I appreciated that Fidel explained everything so thoroughly. He asked me to drive it before paying for the work that was done...to make sure I was comfortable with how it was driving...i appreciated that. He also reminded me about their warranty. It was a little pricey but I understand they need to charge what they need to charge. The car drives better than ever and I hope it continues to do so. Time will tell but I am really pleased with the customer service and expertise from the team at this MV shop. Highly recommend. read more

AAA Mountain View Auto Repair Center - Auto Repair Near Me - Mountain View, California

I've visited this location twice - the first time was back when they were MPG Auto Service, and I just took my car in again this week (they transitioned to new ownership under AAA earlier this year). I was helped by Fidel during my most recent visit. Both times I've received honest, friendly, and quick service and felt taken care of, and will return if I need anything else in the future! read more

My brake lights were out. I came in first thing Saturday morning at 8AM and told them I had to be at a memorial service in SJ by 11. They said it should take no longer than 20 mins. It took 10! I had never been there before but being a AAA member they had my record on file and I was on my way before 8:30. Could not have had a better experience here! While I was saying what I needed to the man at the front desk, the other mechanic looked up the make of my car to confirm the replacement bulbs were in stock so this was great teamwork and helped to rush things along and excellent customer service! Totally recommend and grateful to know a good repair shop that is open on Saturdays! Thanks guys! read more

Avoid this place at all costs. This place tried to charge to look at issues that I've already explained the problems. Easy to fix situations like getting the A/C charged us 180 just to look at and not do any work. Highly suggest looking at another location as this was the most expensive lesson learned (NEVER BRING IT HERE). I have a regular mechanic that bay quoted me cheaper but would cost to get my car towed Out or AAA parking lot. Please avoid. read more

My car was having starting issues, so OI went to O'reilly auto parts and bought a battery, the next day same issue car didn't start, so I tried again the next day and it started right up, so I ((beelined over to AAA auto repair)) and advised them that I have been having starting issues, and I bought a new battery, so they had me turn off the car and then try to start it again - Sure enough it didn't start,, so I left it and walked home in the rain, 3 days later I picked up the car and they stated that the tires were cracked. so the following week I went to Big O tires in Mountain View, Read my comment there. read more

Went in a couple days ago to have my tires balanced and an oil change. Real basic stuff. They did the oil change but told me my tires were in balance and they checked anything else that could cause the steering wheel to shake at 60-70mph. They even said they calibrated the machine to make sure. They couldn't find anything and told me it was probably because my tires are 6 years old. Needless to say I had a feeling that something didn't add up. Took my truck to a tire shop and lo and behold, they were out of balance. They fixed the issue in under 20 minutes. Probably won't be back read more

This had been MPG auto repair and now is now AAA so AAA members get their AAA discount. Good value and friendly service. read more

Honest, honest, honest shop and thorough explanations. Never had a bad experience here. I stopped getting service from the dealer after getting the feeling they were over recommending services. read more

Great communication, efficient work, friendly service, and quality. Would definitely recommend to everyone

These folks are great! Fast, reasonable prices (as mechanics go), and willing to answer all of your "dumb" questions with admirable patience ;-). They've never given me the hard sell on anything either, even as my car gets older and needs a lot more work. read more

Ricardo was super helpful and had great communication the entire time my car was in the shop!

I made an appointment the day before and when I show up on time I am told I would have to wait a few hours. I was a little bit surprised because I observed mechanics in the garage area ready to work. Plus when I entered the building I was not even greeted with a hello or any type of acknowledgment. Unacceptable. read more

Second time here already, jobs get done efficiently, thoroughly, and worry free, reasonable price. And it's close to my house, I don't have to go all the way to SJ anymore for my car. Highly recommended!!! read more

I took my car here expecting it to be MPG Auto Service, sadly learned that AAA had taken it over. After an oil change, the service rep gave me a printout of the things they had checked on my car. According to it everything was "good" which surprised me since one of the items was wiper blades and both of my front ones were literally shredded and left streaks (I'd planned to replace them that week). But it made me think: what else did they miss or just check "good" on the list even if it wasn't? When I asked the rep where the previous owner was (who was great) he said he didn't know. It was only recently after a lot of research that I found the previous owner, Christian, has a shop at 2570 Leghorn Street in Mountain View. If the AAA rep had told me that I would have gone there first. Now that I know I will take my car to Christian's shop since he's completely honest, fair and trustworthy. read more

Friendly, prompt pros. Moved to them when our reliable AAA-certified mechanic retired.

Ive taken my car there twice and I am very pleased with the service. The mechanics are so nice and explain everything to you. I recommend this place if you need car service. read more

I went in for my headlight bulb change. They are very kind to give me free repair. Really appreciate it and will definitely choose them later for repairs. read more

For transparency, I have not *yet* used this business, however I called them to get an estimate on a repair and Fidel was SO incredibly helpful. Not only did he help me understand the brake issue with great analogies, he then was honest with me that the dealership should cover the repair under my warranty. It's hard to find businesses these days that aren't just self-interested! Fidel was very patient and kind on the phone, and also the prices here are much more reasonable than the dealership. I'm 100% positive that I will come here if I need any other work done on my car. read more

My 2006 Buick wouldn't start. The fuel pump ran, but was noisy. The engine would fire a few times and quit. I called the AAA garage and explained that I had diagnosed the problem and wanted to know if they could order a replacement fuel pump and put it in. The manager called back and said they could get one and mentioned something about diagnosing the problem when the car was there. I said you are welcome to check things out yourself. I had it towed the next day and talked to a service tech. He said I should pay $100 for a diagnosis. I did not want to do that because they might start chasing codes or testing for things unrelated to the fuel problem. I told him to just put in the new fuel pump. The next day the manager called and said the car still would not start after replacing the fuel pump. When I got to AAA the service tech told me the battery was flat. He said they tried to start it after the tow truck dropped it off, so they could move it. I thought that was dumb. The battery is 6 Mo. old and was on a charger overnight. To run it down they must have cranked the motor a long time. The manager came in and he told me the battery was not flat. Both the nanager and service tech said that because I didn't pay for their diagnosis, they would not guarantee their work. I told the manager I would give him the chance to make things right. I will pay the $100 diagnosis fee and they can try again to fix my car. Maybe the connector for the fuel pump was not pushed in all the way. The manager then claimed the car's battery was discharged and there might be other electrical problems. I heard a lot of prevarication and he said that since I had not paid for the diagnostic up front, he was not under any obligation to fix it. At that point I got the key and tried to start my car. The battery was about half discharged and the engine turned slowly at first. The second time it fired a couple of times. After several tries the engine ran ok. So it appears there was some air in the fuel line. When the AAA mechanic tried to start the car after replacing the fuel pump, he did not crank it enough times. I went back into the office and paid my bill, then drove home. In summary they did the work I asked them to do, but their people skills are very poor. I heard several contradictory stories from the manager and service tech. They could not get there stories straight. They want their customers to pay $100 for a diagnostic when it is obvious to me they are incompetent. They weren't even able to finish the job. I have no confidence in their technical competence. They could not give me a straight answer on anything. They ran down the car's battery trying to start it after the tow truck dropped it off. The mechanic didn't have the common sense to realize the fuel line would have air in it after the fuel pump was replaced. So why should anyone have to pay these imbeciles for a diagnosis? My guess is they would find things to work on that were not related to the problem. On the plus side AAA did fix my car, even though they expected me to get it towed off their lot. These guys are apprentice mechanics. They need adult supervision. read more

i was in a pinch and turned to this aaa repair center as a aaa member. the shop has about 4 bays and the lot is packed with parked cars. the employees working were courteous enough and did a good job explaining the plan for diagnostics to me. i dropped the car off on a friday afternoon and called for an update on monday after not getting any updates on saturday. it'd be nice if they could keep customers in the loop but i understand that side of business isn't usually a focus. i got a nice thorough rundown of issues and suggested repairs via text and email and the car was done on tuesday and is running fine so far. the recorded mileage out, however, did not match the odometer, which i didn't like. i expect honesty and full disclosure if my car is being driven around. i know road tests are sometimes necessary, so account for that on record. the cost was as expected from a large chain shop and i did appreciate the aaa member discounts. i'll likely turn to a local shop the next time i need servicing but it's nice having a default aaa repair center to fall back on if needed. read more

I came in last week for some work needed on my vehicle. Jen walked me through the entire repair step by step and was very knowledgeable and patient answering all my questions. I will definitely be back in the future. read more

I had an very positive experience at AAA Mountain View Auto Repair Center. My son's car was damaged during a break in. Everyone from the service advisors to the auto technician to the shop supervisor were extremely helpful. Donell, service advisor and first point of contact, always greeted me (on the phone and in person) with a warm hello and professional manner. Fidel, service advisor, answered all my questions and walked out to my car to explain things further. Hollie, auto technician, was kind and friendly. She had some very good advice for me. Brian, supervisor, kindly answered my questions about the work and timeline in a clear and professional manner. Everyone took time to help me -- even after the shop closed on a Friday evening. I was very impressed with their friendly and professional attitude. I felt like they truly cared. The work they did on the car was great and done promptly. Donell called me with updates and helped me with my questions regarding navigating the insurance claim. I would highly recommend this shop! We will certainly bring our cars here in the future. read more
