Great communication and honest, helpful service. They clearly explain what's needed, and the pricing feels fair. It's family-owned, and it's really sweet to see their kids around the office, such a welcoming, trustworthy place. read more

Well, it's a little slow. But price was reasonable and really found critical issues. I recommend this place.

Alan is a fantastic guy with great service. Family owned knowledgeable staff. Fast service and friendly. This will be my go to place for smog certification read more

Our truck is expensive to own and requires a a good amount of service. Basically every other oil change, there are Two fuel filters that need replacing. A client of ours has the same truck and recommended Alan and Sons for maintenance. We called, they squeezed us in same day, and I feel like they didn't thorough job. They transaction was easy and I felt like the staff here was pretty honest, gave us confidence that the job was done right. Their prices were very fair and average to the market rate. We'll probably be bringing the truck here moving forward for our regular maintenance! read more

My car had been running fine but It had not had a tune up in 4 years. Also needed a few suspension parts replaced. I wasn't sure if my car really needed the service but I felt I'd better do it before something failed. On my drive home, I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth it felt. When I started my conversations with them, they sent me a text with a link of the rough estimated price. I also liked the fact that when I got my car back, my car's steering wheel was not covered with oil from the mechanics hands like other places. Very professional, great work. read more

Great auto service. They diagnosed my issue and came up with a correct suggestion which saved me a lot of money. I highly recommend them

Alan and Sons did a phenomenal job fixing a stripped oil drain plug bolt for me. Excellent work and I will definitely be back in the future.

The reviews here were so good. I was so happy to find this place, but- when we got our car back they hadn't put a part back on our car with all it's screws and when we went to drive it, it fell off the bottom of our car and was dragging on the ground. Looking online we found that when this part falls off it's usually after you've had work done and someone forgets to put it back correctly. When we took the car back, it looked like they jury rigged it when they "fixed" it and there was slop between the fasteners- now it's moving around. Pretty disappointed. I guess even the best places make mistakes, but no one even said they were sorry. I'm glad other people had good experiences- but I guess your mileage could vary. I almost never leave negative reviews- but this was a big disappointment to us. read more

If I could leave 6 stars I would. Every single person here was polite and kind. The two ladies that were at the front desk were knowledge and genuinely listened and cared about my car problems. I definitely felt the family vibe here and knew I would be taken care of. At no point did anyone try sell me anything I did not need. I will definitely be coming here for all of my automotive needs. read more

Service and expertise was great. Took my vintage 1996 Goldwing there for brake work, fork suspension and carburetor work. It rides like new. Specials thanks for taking on the project and helping make it a safe ride! I'll be back. read more

Alan and Sons are the best,quality service and friendly.They are the best in our opinion

Had to have some major work done on my Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Alan & Sons did it for a third of what the dealership quoted. Prompt, reliable, & reasonable. They also got my vintage '59 Chris Craft boat running like a dream this past summer. I guess I'll be back with my Harley next. No reason to go anywhere else. read more

Great customer service and quality work for a fair price . Would recommend this shop for my own family

Friendly, great service, I highly recommend They are also honest and reasonable pricing! read more

WOW, LOOK NO FURTHER! Alan & Son's Harley Davidson & Mercedes Benz Auto Repairs & Maintenance is absolutely amazing, the best in the Tri-Valley! The element of quality people, having professional customer service at this family owned business, is by far impressive! Not only is the full team highly educated on all levels of automotive engine issues, from trunk to hood, you name it they can fix it taking pride in their repairs! 10+ stars read more

I have been a loyal customer of Alan and Son for the last 3 years and I wouldn't think of taking my BMW any other place. The entire staff there is very customer oriented and take care of my car as they would their own. Over the years, I have trusted them with my Harley Davidson and my mother's Honda. The rest of my family in the area have started to take their cars to Alan and Sons because of the positive comments I have made about them and they are delighted with the service they have received. I highly recommend that you trust them with your car. You will be glad you did. read more

Honest decent people. Alan is a very helpful knowledgeable mechanic. I came in after my bike cut off on the freeway, worried it might be something major. They inspected everything and eventually pointed out that the bike simply ran out of gas and the pump might have locked up, that's why it didnt start after I added me my own gas. They didn't overcharge me for anything, they took good care of me and the bike in a decent timeframe. I'm very thankful for their quality service. I would highly reccomend this shop to anyone. read more

Alan and Sons - Honest Mechanic Invoice - Auto Repair Near Me - Livermore, California

This place is there for you. They are thorough and won't let anything slip by. They inspected every inch of my car looking for an issue. My Volkswagen was there for a bit, but they found the issue and did not charge for all of the extra work they did. Thank you all. read more

Front motorcycle tire change was half the price the dealer was charging. Awesome job.

Extremely knowledgeable and personable group of mechanics. I recommend Alan & Sons for any mechanical and/or smog related needs. More than fair prices and a customer service experience that's rare in this industry. Without a doubt, a solid 5-star company. read more

Friendly professional Automotive services. Great front counter help and knowledgeable. Thanks!!! read more

Wow! Finally an honest shop that is ran with integrity. I was referred to Alan and sons from a friend who had nothing but great things to say. I brought a very old, beat up car here for some lovin and honestly to get whatever I could get out of it for alittle bit longer. They inspected the entire car and came back with the list, yikes. ( which I knew) They were so great about helping me make the best decisions to ensure safety first, than prioritize what was even worth fixing being what the car is even worth. The ladies in the office were so incredibly patient and kind going back and forth with me ( since i was the middle man in the whole thing) The car was done quick and ran so much better and the owner is stoked. If you looking for an old school HONEST, reliable shop here you go folks! read more

IF YOU WANT ALL AROUND OUTSTANDING/CARING/FRIENDLY SERVICE COME TO ALAN AND SONS!!! My engine seized on my Pontiac Grand Am and had my car towed to Aland and Sons, righty away when I spoke to them on the phone I felt comfortable and wanted to bring my car to them. They let me know what was going on with my car and helped beyond belief. Victoria, at the front, attempted many times to call my dealer and get the warranty process going so they can repair my car. Dealer was never reached and they let me know I could keep my car there until I can contact them. After 2 weeks of arguing with my dealer, back & forth. (CARHOP, NEVER EVER GET YOUR CAR THERE, EVER) I decided to let carhop tow my car to their lot and take it. Everyone at Alan & Sons has been such a great help and never seemed to get frustrated or overwhelmed with my issues. I appreciate that and will ALWAYS recommend them to ANYONE that ask for a great mechanic. Thank you guys so much, you've helped way beyond belief! There still is honest, caring and helpful auto repair shops out there and ALAN & SONS is on top of the list. BRING YOUR CAR HERE. read more

So I have I have a Spanish scooter , call around 25 different places no one would touch it we called here and he said if it has wheels I can fix it . it was done the very next day. Business is very family oriented. I personally like that. I like to support my hometown businesses. He also works on many different cars even German ones. I gave this a five star review for someone who wants to service the community and work on any vehicle you can throw his way. read more

There's a reason why I drive 50 miles & sit in over an hour traffic, just to have my Tahoe and bikes taken care of here. From small to big jobs, they know what they're doing and they'll do it right. They're honest about their work and it shows. Support local, family owned businesses!! read more

This shop is one of the worst shops you can take your car to. The two woman working the counter are polite and informative, but it doesn't appear they communicate with the mechanics in the back. I took my VW Beetle to have a radiator and headlight assembly replaced. I provided brand new parts. After I picked up my car and was driving on the freeway, I heard a loud crash. The headlight assembly just installed by the shop fell off. Also, a few weeks later, the engine started overheating because the cap of the brand new radiator was not screwed on properly and was losing fluids. They refuse to reimburse me for the headlight light assembly they installed and approved the installation. I had to drive my car in the evening with only one headlight. I decided to sell it for much less of its value and take a loss. read more

Read the amazing reviews, one from a guy I work with who is extremely picky, and they were all true as it turns out. Needed help with a battery/starter/alternator issue on a weird car and Alan got me in the next day and got it sorted out and working perfectly for a reasonable price. The kicker was, they figured out the repair may have been covered under a recall and researched that for me. It ended up not being applicable but how many places are going to point it out and do the legwork (for free) to check it out? I was really impressed! Local, family owned, honest and good at what they do. read more

Everyone from the reception staff to the mechanics are great. They are professional and no bs. Happy to recommend anyone to them.

A long overdue THANK YOU and kudos for Alan and Sons. With a car full of people and animals on our way to camp in the Sierra, my radiator overheated on i-80. Oh so fortunate that Alan and Sons was the closest shop that we could limp to. So, these folks didn't know me. As I live in Oakland, they weren't trying to secure a long-term customer. Nonetheless, they fit us in, brought us water for the dogs and coffee for me, gave continual updates, fixed a cable and rotten cap and off we went again hoping it wasn't more than that. Nope, the whole radiator was screwed and we were again on the side of the road. Even though it was just after their closing hour, they invited us to get back to the shop if possible and ordered me a radiator in the meantime. They were willing to stay after hours to fix this - again explaining all the options and possibilities, even though now long after closing time. Since it wasn't a sure fix (might need to replace the water pump) we opted to return to Oakland and get another vehicle for camping. But WOW! I can't say enough about their professionalism, their care for strangers, the good work they did on the car, and their great communication. Were it not such a long drive from me, they would instantly become my regular garage. LOVE ME SOME ALAN AND SONS! read more

Want to see a big shout out to Allen & Sons they transformed my bike from stock to sexy. Great repairs at a fair price would highly recommend them read more

See all

My Stepfather's truck had a brake problem while I was moving my son. It was late on a Friday afternoon and we were from out of town. When I called, Victoria was very helpful and had me bring the truck right over. It was near closing time, but the technicians looked at the vehicle and determined the calipers needed replacing. Victoria ordered new parts and a technician came in on Saturday when they were closed to do the work. She called me from her home when the work was completed and we were able to get the truck on Saturday. It is so refreshing to have this great customer service experience in this day and age.

Beware, if you don't know about cars and especially if you're a woman this is the type of place that will pray on you. My wife went in there to get a water pump and thermostat replaced on a 2002 530i and they quoted her nearly $1,000. This entire job takes about an hour and a half and is less than $200 in parts. Furthermore after being on the phone with them and telling them to just charge for the actual time works not that what it says in their book they refuse to service the car. I had to bring the car to a shop I've gone to before and it was done for just over $500 the very same day with just one hour notice. That's right the car was there at 2:30 and done before 5:00. read more

I would just like to say a couple of great things about Alan and Sons. I am glad I found this business. After trying several places and not finding the results I wanted for my motorcycle I finally found it. Before I went to this business I read most of the reviews and after coming to this place I felt like I knew Alan and Victoria. I felt like they were family. I do have to say I had doubts in any body fixing my Harley only because I've taken it too many times to friends of friends thinking they can fix it but it would come back almost the same way I took it in. Sometimes they would take at least 3-4 weeks or more only because they would work on it when ever they had time. They just didn't have no time of urgency. Anyways as soon as I brought my bike to Alan and after talking to him I knew right off the bat that I brought it to the right place. He was so sure of himself. He said that it would be no problem in fixing my bike. After the fourth day Alan called me and said that my bike was ready to go. After picking it up and riding I felt the big difference. You would not believe how happy I was riding my bike. I felt like I had a brand new Harley. My Harley is a 1992 Dyna. By the way they are very reasonable. I know I'll be going back if ever I have any trouble with my Harley. I want to share some more good news about Alan. I took my bike again to Alan to finally fix my oil leak I've been having for a while. And at the same time fix my bike from backfiring. Well they did another great job. Alan and his crew are the bombs. I'm so happy with my bike I feel like a kid with his new bike. I took a trip this past weekend and no problems at all. Thank you Alan for all of your help. I recommend this place to anybody that has a Harley. read more

I was looking for a good automotive shop to do a engine swap in my Camaro. Alan and Son was recommended to me by a friend to whom I fully trust. I brought Alen the car and new motor and he took care of everything. The attention to detail was over the top. The price he charged me was extremely fair. I couldn't be more happy. Thank you guys. read more

Alan and his family run a great operation here. I initially asked Alan to inspect a 1969 El Camino I was considering purchasing. Alan did a great job doing a thorough inspection and giving me a heads-up on a couple of potential mechanical issues that might need attention. And Alan completed the work quickly and for a reasonable price. I felt so confident with this shop that after I purchased the El Camino I brought it by to Alan to have the work completed. A great experience all around. I would not hesitate to return to Alan and Sons. read more

This is my go to place for all things car related. I have been to other places, but no one beats Alan and Sons! They provide Quality work at a fair price, where customer service is top notch! Who could ask for more? Plus it is important to support the smaller businesses here in town. read more

Amazing personal customer service and reasonable prices. I had a piece of junk cute little scooter I needed repaired. I called around and they were the first shop that would even talk to me. Everything was explained to me up front and the price was incredibly reasonable. Alan and his son were friendly, helpful and professional. I highly recommend them! read more

My boyfriend's HD Road Glide was taken to Alan and Sons being involved in an accident on the highway. They were great with questions and working with the insurance company to get the funds in as fast as possible. Alan and AJ got the bike disassembled, parts to the paint shop (MD Collision), all the repairs done and got the bike back together in time for our pre planned road trip! He says he'd definitely take the bike back there for work in the future, hopefully the elective stuff! read more

If I could put 10 stars I would! This place has the best group of guys that are genuine about helping you out. You know how going to the mechanics can be a scary ordeal not here, they are fair and very pleasant people. Can you image being low on oil and a mechanic just putting oil in you car because it's the right thing to do? Well this is the type of place and people who do that. If you have any problems at all be sure to ask for big Alan hes fair and helpful beyond belief. I recommend this place to all my friends and have personally brought other cars here myself. read more
