Took our Corolla to Alex Auto repair who was recommended by a friend so we thought we can Trust him we asked our friend since we don't know of any shops in Modesto area, Alex gave us this story that he only uses Toyota products and said just alternator can be up to $500 dollars among other parts like replacing coil packs he said was included, he called us two days later saying he test drove and car was ready it was pouring rain, we picked up car it didn't even make it few miles before it was overheating and died out on freeway in fast lane we called him and told him we're on side road didn't offer any help we had to pay for a tow truck to take it back, after tow truck arrives to his shop is when he claims it was the Alternator which we just had a complete check on car from Toyota dealer he again lied and said it was alternator that caused the breakdown again saying he uses only Toyota parts we left car there he called next day said car was ready but needs a transmission now, car ran perfect before taking it to him no shaking even with blown head gasket, we actually believed him was another lye after we picked up car paid him no problem I had my daughter drive it she was not happy with the work, we took it to a certified shop and they took a look and said Hey these are not Toyota parts !!! He said he only used Toyota witnessed by 3 people his word we ran the numbers on the labels none of the parts were Toyota they were from local auto store but charged full price for them charging my daughter $650 for junk parts we called him and told him he tipped us off!! A friend of ours went to get our money that he returned knowing he did us wrong without a fight he paid us back if we didn't look under hood or if it was another person who didn't know better he would have got over Big-time this guy is a Crook... .now car still Not running right he no longer answers our calls he never replaced coil packs like he said with installation of engine and car runs Horrible!! After calling numerous times I showed up in person and he denied ever saying anything about replacing parts 100% lied in my face and closed his shop door this is a Warning for anyone using this place he is not a honest man and now her car runs Horrible after over 4k spent this man has no pride in his work and does not stand behind his work just like another review says he will not pick up calls once he's paid Zero stars for this lyer who tried to pull a fast one. We hope he replies to this because it's not over we will proceed with action and hope this man doesn't rip off another person he didn't want to give receipts and pointed to cash only sign because he's a crook and don't stand behind his work and he got caught by us running numbers on label of parts he installed we are going to take action and we will post the final results here win or lose ! He feels since he returned the cash he ripped us off with and now thinks that it's ok to not repair the car right and just closed door to his shop and will not pick up his calls my daughter saved money for long time just to get ripped off by a shady shop that we cold busted him he's denying he ever said anything a complete lie to our face now we are here with car running horrible and were told not to repair until this will be settled .

Was looking for a auto repair shop since I'm new to the area, decided to check Yelp since I didn't know of any shops in the area. Well Alex did not disappoint. He was very personable, helpful, knowledgeable and informative. He called soon after we dropped off the car to tell us what the issue was (a part that the dealership mechanics neglected to correctly fix). Alex had the car fixed within 4 hours and was also very affordable. He is a no frills, honest, professional and affordable. We will definitely be back for other car service needs. read more

My 2001 gmc work truck was having problems with the breaks. I work near this mechanic shop and drive by it on daily basis. Decided to give them a try. I got a free diagnostic on a Wednesday. Brought it in on Friday at 11am and he brought it back to me fixed to my work at 3pm. He replaced the break master cylinder my pedal break is like a new car lol. I recommend this place will be back if needed. Pricing is affordable. Thanks read more

Alex is the man! If you are in the Ceres/Modesto/Turlock area and are looking for a mechanic, go here. He got my alignment so straight that it took me a few days to get used to it. I had to adjust my steering wheel cover because the rubberized hand grips were not centered and it was throwing me off having my truck go straight. That's a good problem to have!!! He is an honest guy, he has a good sense oh humor and he will give it to you straight. What more do you want!!?? read more

I bought my break pads first and did not know that no other mechanic or shop would do my breaks without also purchasing a new rotor. Alex took one look at my car, taught me how to negotiate the price of the rotors since I already got the break pads first from the place I purchased them. I asked him what time he closes and he told me that he works early and late hours to accommodate your schedule. Honest and professional! read more

Meant to leave this review months ago. I had some minor work done at Alex Auto repair, about $100 worth of work. The price was very reasonable, the work was done right, and when I went to pick up my truck, they gave me $20.00 back. The customer service is unbeatable. read more

They did a great job on my truck. I took it in on a Saturday later in the afternoon when not to many places were open. He had it done by Sunday at noon. Very happy with the service. read more

With all honesty, I have to say that Alex is an honest and trustworthy person. As a female I was scared to take my car In to get repair because I was worried that someone would attempt to over charge me for the work. Alex was more than honest and gave me some good advice, I rarely ever post any reviews but I highly recommend Alex because now a days it's hard to find a good and honest mechanic. read more

Alex was great! We had him check the car we were looking to purchase and he did a great thorough job and gave us some tips on things we should be aware of. We would definitely go back! read more
