Went to start my truck this morning and click, no starter! Called around and got pricing all over the place, called up Alamo and got the best price and he uses OEM parts not crappy no name junk! He got the job done in just a few hours and even added a little oil due to it being low! Danny is such a nice guy even gave me a lift home! Recommend Danny for your car repairs, he's a family owned shop here in cypress that loves to take care of his customers read more

Dan helped me out with a rattling sound underneath my car. Great service and was very helpful.

Great service! Dan is awesome and honest! Will be back in the future if needed. No appointments necessary. Great fast service.

After servicing here, I ran out of coolant and windshield cleaner middle of the road. While doing the service, they never checked and pointed out. They do minimum job and charge full amount. Also, they have an attitude. read more

As a woman I was abused. I just left this auto shop and I'm angry and the worse part is feeling disrespected and taken advantage of. As I am providing plenty of pictures and I literally just left about 10 min ago, trust this review. I show up and he says 15 min, he took about 50 min total. He wouldn't give me a price ans finally i said I need synthetic and he said "yea you need synthetic for that car". I said how much, and he tells me a story about a big truck and amount of oil he would need for that big truck, but for my small Prius not too bad so only $70!!!!!! I was like okay and stayed quiet because my car is up in the air already ans well, I'm a girl I always try and he nice. I watch him like a hawk and he starts to act bothered that I'm watching him but because of his sketchy demeanor I watched the entire process and made sure he did his job. As he hands me my caul kissed because there is dark oil all on the inside of my Matta, steering wheel, shift handle , and even splashed against the back of my cars dash. He says "no wait don't go in yet!" And tries to hurry, gets a dirty rag, pours detergent on it, and begins to scrub my mats half assed!!!! I get in and say "will this come off?" And I asked him with attitude this time. He says huh oh yeah it wasn't me it wa arhat guy over there I had him check something ans he stepped all in your car with oil", then proceeds to try and scrub it again on his knees while I'm sitting In my cat so awkward. It still is dirty and the oil is smudged sadly. I just got Thai car from CarMax about 3 months ago:( Then I tell him "what is all this oil in here?" He says "oh that was already there that wasn't us" I say "no it wasn't dirty here on my dash when I got here" He says with a condescending smirk "oh come on" Then says "here let me get more cleaner" and runs to the back to try and get more. I tell "you know what it's fine I'll just use my sanitizing wipes I just want to leave, I know this wasn't here these droplets where not here it's all dirty". He reaches in to my car and scratches at my dash and says "oh that's not oil, those dots are like cigarette burns and see they indent because it melted that, it won't come off". I was like "what are you talking about this is a new car!" He says "oh really wow how much did you pay for it". I use my wipes to scrub the gunk off in front of him and he says "oh it came off!" I said "yes it was not cigarette burns it was gunk". I close my door and leave pissed off. My hand smell like oil, I used my wipes to wipe off as much as I could but my steering wheel smells like oils and a small part on my seat has a little smudge of oil. Idk what to do. I know because I'm a girl they Jacked up the price and completely took advantage of my niceness. I want a refund and to never go there again. Right now I'm going to pay to get my car washed and cleaned inside because what els can I do. So dirty and unprofessional. read more

See all

honest great guys here. they helped me out with my sway bar link and didn't charge an arm and a leg. Also gave good advice. i'll never forget the service. read more

I recently had a disagreement with Alamo Auto Care and wasn't happy about the way things went. I reached out to Alamo and ended up speaking with Dan who had nothing to do with my disagreement. Unfortunately, I took it out on him and even ended up calling him names. We ended up having a heated phone conversation. However, he called back and wanted to make things right between his owner and me. Though I disrespected him on the call, he made things right for me. I want to apologize to Dan and thank him for helping me to resolve my problem with Alamo Auto Care. At the end of the day, Alamo Auto Care does care about their customers and should be supported by our community. If you need a smog or having car problems, please go see Dan at the Alamo Auto Center. Once again, thank you and have a prosperous 2023! read more

This is my only "go to" auto repair business in the area. I will only go here because the owner (Dan) is extremely honest, trustworthy, experienced and he will only do what work is absolutely necessary (rare nowadays). He should be consulted when buying a used car before you buy, and have him check the car, if possible. He has saved me a lot of money using him and I know this because I have had quotes from larger dealerships. Dan treats you like an important person, not another number like the dealerships. I care about my cars, not the cleanliness of the office. read more

Coming from a car business I find it hard to trust repair shops. My wife found Alamo and from the first moment I went there I felt comfortable. My a/c needed fixed I got no surprises or any cost increase. They were actually cheaper then there quote. Thank you for taking care of us. read more

Excelente servicio el mecánico es muy profesional y honesto el lugar limpio y seguro 100% recomendado

These guys are honest, skillful and reasonable. What more could you want in a mechanic shop? Danny, the head man, is experienced and effective and does exactly what he says he will need to do to get you up and running again in first class shape. I recommend Alamo Auto Care highly. read more

Dan is absolutely the best!! He didn't even charge me anything after spending a good 8-12 hours of total labor when the dealership couldn't even find the problem!! The dealership changed out different parts of my exhaust system and charged me hundreds of $$$!! And they still couldn't get the car to pass the smog inspect! And then, they said the catalytic converter might have to be changed! This was after the 3rd and last time to the dealership which was the last straw and my brother-in-law suggested I call Alamo. Anyway after spending several hundred $$$ at the dealership Alamo only charged me about $60 to replace a part. read more

He is bad attitude and very costly , When I tell him it's expensive he throw my cell phone on the table,I can believe that . read more

Hands down the most honest, experienced and competent repair shop I have ever done business with. Dan in all the years I have had him repair all my families cars, never been disappointed or felt like I was overcharged. Most awesome of all, never had to get a repair done twice. Alamo has all my business for life. read more

DAN THE MAN!! Never steers me wrong. I like to most of my services myself but take my cars to him for the more detailed and time consuming jobs. Even if I'm doing the job myself ill take it in to him to get advice to make sure I'm replacing the parts that need replacing. Very trustworthy and honest mechanic(which is hard to find nowadays). Best prices in town, upfront, and doesn't screw you over. Does great work, fast, and keeps me on the road. read more

Unless you enjoy being deceived and ripped off, then run away from this shop. They tricked my wife by not including labor in their bs quote over the phone, but never again, and alllll of our neighbors will know to never go to this shop. Was your deception worth it? 10/2/15 Edit - After having a friendly conversation with the shop owner, I now believe that this was all an unfortunate misunderstanding and this shop can be trusted to give you quality service. I've upgraded my review from 1 to 4 stars. read more

Super friendly, went in for a smog check. Loved the price, loved how quick and easy it was. No hassle. Will be returning!!

I was referred by a coworker and went over to talk to Dan the owner of the shop about what I needed done. I needed brakes and he looked my car over. He suggested I only needed front brakes at this time. I brought it to him and he was very thorough and have me a great price. I will be back to see Dan for the back brakes in a few months. He seemed like an honest guy and very nice too. He wasn't trying to over charge me for extra things I didn't need either. read more

Dan is the best,given 101 percent customer service,got a great and fast workers,keep it uphope u will consider open up a car wash Arminda read more

I've always been iffy about mechanics. I've had some horrible experiences in my time! This place surprised me though. The mechanic was sympathetic and clear as to what needed to be done to my van. He didn't go out of his way to ring me up a big bill and did what he could to get me back on the road again. I will definitely be back with any other problems I have with my vehicles! read more

Danny, At Alamo auto care is so great to work with, he gives a great price and doe's not try to sell you service you don't need, I have been taking my car to him for 4 years now , always fixes my car in a timely manner for a good price, I would Highly recommend him for your car repair needs.

With less than 200 miles after I had a reputable shop do a valve job on my Toyota pickup truck, I needed a smog test at a Star testing center. I took it in to Alamo Auto Care for the test. Even though it passed 15 tests including all the emission tests, Danny Tram (Dan), the manager/technician did visual tests & came up with the following "questionable results" which caused it to fail: (1) Tampered (disconnect vacuum line) ; (2) Functional Check . . Mach Prob. . . Dan claimed the timing was off due to "mixed marks" on the timing pulley. Danny told me I would need a new pulley & told me to tell my mechanic that the timing was off. I took my vehicle back to my mechanic who retested the timing and found that it to be within specifications, and put it in writing. In addition there was no evidence of "mixed marks" on the pulley, nor tampered vacuum lines. I took a photo of the disputed pulley and there was only the factory mark. A bit latter I confronted Dan about his so called "mixed marks" statement & showed him a zoomed photo on my iPad & he still insisted they were there. I had irrefutable test results & photo. Danny wouldn't retest it for free even though his "so called evidence" could not be collaborated. On the same day I took the vehicle to another Star smog station and it passed everything. I sent Alamo/Dan copies of mechanic's report & the other passed smog report by certified mail & requested him to make a full refund. He hasn't complied. Some would say the visual failings were pure fabrication. This is why I rated Alamo at a "ZERO". read more

I tried this place about a month ago because I needed my smog done. I received quick service and sailed out the door with my certificate. This week, my husband's truck kept needing a jump to get going despite the new battery and great alternator. There was a drain somewhere, but he couldn't find it. Alamo had the car for only a couple days, found the issue and got it fixed right away. My husband said they were great a communicating the problem when they found it and despite the part being an expensive one to replace (not their fault, it just is), we still walked out of there feeling like we got a great deal on the service and efficiency. He was especially happy that the owner showed him the parts they removed from the truck, most shops don't bother! We will continue to come back as long as we need to and will be telling all our friends. Great service, great turn-around and an HONEST experience! read more

Awesome service! Brought in my Ml Benz for a smog and had the hardest time getting it ready. I recently changed my egr valve and made the mistake of resetting the computer instead of letting the cel light go off on its own.. I had not known about readiness monitors required to be ready for the car to pass emissions. I brought it in the first time and both staff members were very helpful. Sorry I was not able to get his name. They asked me how the car drove and I let them know I cleared the light recently and he informed me about the monitors. He hooked up his sensor checker to my car and it was not ready. He told me to come back after a week or so of driving to see if the sensors were ready.. daily driving and a certain drive cycles were required to trip the sensors to being ready.. I came back two times after and same process hooked up machine and no go.. I was getting frustrated but he assured me it takes time and that he had benz' in the past that took up to 6 months of driving.. I tried warming the car up driving a full tank back and forth to work and that did got the cat sensor ready.the rest were though. I ended up taking a longer than usual ride to tamecula (45 min freeway) from Buena Park and it did the trick. The cat sensor finally showed the ready symbol on my obd 2 sensor I ended up buying so I didn't have to blindly keep showing up. The great part about it was every time I showed up he never charged me for his time on hooking up the sensor and checking if the car was ready. He easily could have did the smog test and fail and charge me and make me come back for a retest, but he didn't. I truly appreciate the honest help and service I received. star and smog certified and will definitely come back for any Star smog checks I need in the future.. Cost is typical for my SUV 49.95$ plus 8$ certificate. I didn't mind as long as I passed. I had being going to Super smog in Stanton for years, which is a drive through service for my smogs but it is not Star certified. So I am glad I found Alamo and got such great service for my smog needs. Highly recommend! I came across this shop looking for nearby star smog places in Buena Park read more

Excellent service and prices. I needed a smog check on my 1999 Van and he gave me a fair price and great service

Do not go here. Didn't have a part (a filter) for an oil change, but neglected to tell me before starting work on my car. Nobody else was there and what should have taken 15 minutes turned into almost an hour long wait while the owner went to buy the part from some other shop. Didn't care or offer any sort of compensation for his neglect or lack of straight forward info. Not even an apology. Just a bunch of excuses. Will not be returning. read more

I've been having Danny do the smog checks on all of my cars (Toyota and Honda) for over 20 years. He is always welcoming, friendly, accommodating (never a long wait), and my cars have never failed to pass. Today was no exception. I will be coming here to see Danny for as long as I'm able to drive. read more

I would highly recommend this place. I had my brake pads replaced and Dan was so nice. He showed me how he turned the rotors and how shiny they were compared to the front tires which did not need brake pads. He did not charge me for new rotors, just the pads. He showed me the thickness of the new pads compared to the ones he replaced. I got my car back in less than an hour. The price was amazing compared to another place I first went to for an estimate. Not only that, but Dan told me I could drive my car for at least another month before changing the pads! How honest is that? He would be sending me away and maybe never seeing me again. I totally trust Dan and will go to him for all my future car needs. read more

Professional service. Accomodating staff that are really friendly. Exceptionally thorough. Highly recommend !

I used to go here all the time with my 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse . He always took care of me the best he could. My car always had problems that would pop up and I would go to him without an appointment. Even when he was busy with cars , he'd inspect my car to make sure it was safe to drive. And sometimes he would fix the issue right then and there if he could. My first experience with him was when my brakes went out, and I got a tow to his place in the afternoon. He quoted me a very fair price, and charged me exactly what he quoted me, and on top of it, he fixed them within the same day. From what I remember, he was on the verge of closing time and possibly over ! I can't exactly recall but I remember being so thankful and felt so apologetic because of it. He's the most honest, most reliable , and most knowledgeable mechanic I've ever came across. Unfortunately, I moved away up North and bought a newer reliable car, but if I still lived there, He would still be my main mechanic. If you want a mechanic that cares for you, he's the one ! And his staff are just as awesome of course ! No words can be enough to tell you how thankful I am for everything you've done for me! Between going to school and working, being out of a car put me in a hard bind, and you guys are the reasons that I was able to go to not miss work and not miss my classes! read more
