Did a good job with my older vehicles. Have a 2008 Land Rover and my wife has a 2005 Honda CR-V…read moreboth as getting older needed some repairs so several areas were worked on as like to keep my vehicles running as long as it makes sense before start getting nickeled and dimed on repairs and cost is not worth it. Sometimes parts take time or no longer are made or hard to find, but they were able to find and repair smoothly while communicating well. The prices they have are reasonable. It's not the dealership, but the quality to me was just as good if not better and not paying the dealership prices. Our vehicle runs smoothly now thanks to these guys troubleshooting. Would definitely recommend.

I met with the seller of my vehicle at Aaliyah's Auto Shop for a pre-inspection. During the…read moreinspection, the owner, Jesse, informed me that my vehicle had a "very small" water pump leak and that the coolant level was low. He stated that he topped off the coolant with fluid and showed my husband a picture; however, the picture he showed was only of the coolant, not of an actual water pump leak. At no point was I shown a picture or physical evidence of a leak itself. Due to the stress of the transaction and being surprised by this diagnosis--especially since I regularly maintain my vehicle every three months--I did not ask to personally see the alleged leak at that time. Jesse also stated that the vehicle needed new brake pads because they were due for replacement. A few days later, I contacted Jesse to request a photo of the water pump leak. He then informed me that he did not have any photo of a leak--only a photo of the coolant. He went on to say that the car was otherwise "perfect," drove great, and that the only issues were the need for new breaks and a new water pump. Because of these inconsistent statements, I took it upon myself to have the vehicle inspected at a Honda dealership while also completing an oil change. The certified Honda mechanics did not find any water pump or coolant leaks (please see attached video). Additionally, they confirmed that the brakes were at approximately 50% life remaining and did not require immediate replacement. Based on these findings, I am deeply concerned about the accuracy and integrity of the inspection performed at Aaliyah's Auto Shop. It appeared that unnecessary repairs were recommended without sufficient evidence. Jesse also emphasized that his shop was the cheapest in town and that he offers the best prices, which further raised concerns that the diagnosis may have been influenced by sales motives rather than factual mechanical issues. I believe this experience demonstrates a lack of transparency and reliability. I strongly encourage anyone seeking a pre-purchase inspection to consider using a trustworthy and reputable mechanic or dealership service center to avoid receiving misleading or inaccurate information.

He's honest about what actually needs to be done and what can wait, which is rare to find these days.

HIGHLY recommend

Emily C. had the review I agree with most. I'm giving him 2 stars because I'm sure he's an…read moreexcellent mechanic but as a new customer there's no point in going to him. The parking lot just looks like a crowded permanent pile of cars - are these vehicles all in queue to be seen by him? Because I went on a Thursday to try to schedule an appointment to be seen for the following Thursday - 4 full business days in advance, and he didn't even want to talk to me. I said, "Will 8AM work next Thursday?" and he said, "Not really." and then told me to bring it in and maybe he would get to it. I'm not bringing it in because even if I did have the time and patience to be seen, it's insulting to be treated the way I was by him. I just stand there feeling like an idiot because I want service and can barely get a word out of him. It's like I don't matter at all and he's better off without me. Everyone posting 5 star reviews must be the very privileged insiders. Maybe they've been customers for years, but now in May 2026, like Emily said, there's no point in trying to be a new customer. They should build a satellite shop somewhere else on the peninsula so the work load can be spread out.

They alerted me to things I should do very soon, ie. an oil change and tire nail fix. Luckily I knew about those things and already had an appointment at a tire store the next day, but it's nice to know they do a general quick inspection to make sure things are good. When I got back for the pickup the mechanic was test driving the vehicle, also a sign of a good mechanic shop. The bill was exactly what I was quoted and I was happy with the price. I feel like it was a good value for getting done what I could not do myself. I think some of us, like myself, have a mechanic friend, but I chose to go here because I wanted it done right and I trust they do it right. The car i took in for service was a family van and we need it to work right and to be reliable. I don't know if everyone feels like I do that these days you always have to fight to get things done right or be prepared for something wrong or to cost extra or whatever but this was simple. Tell them what I need done, drop it off, pay for it and pick it up. I was pleasantly surprised there were no hickups.
