I brought the "elephant in the room" to Tarek (Corvette C5 / track car). It started off as a change the fluid, move the seat job however ended up being a lot more! Tarek services the wife's Porsche Cayenne but he took to this beast without hesitation. His work is precise, clean, fast and professional. He and Luis took care of my needs and more! I would not hesitate to take any of my vehicles to him. read more

I took my two racecars to here to get their transmissions replaced, and one of them to install a DCCD controller and in-cabin module. I was recommended this shop by friends who I track with and have had their cars built here. The work done here is top-notch, and Tarek is a great guy to talk to about cars, racing, and mutual friends at the track. He's a fantastic tech and incredibly knowledgeable with a quick turnaround on jobs. I definitely recommend this shop if you need any automotive jobs done, especially on performance and track cars. read more

Of course my car decided to die on the freeway during one of the worst storms we have seen in a very long time. Fortunately I was able to get to the side of the road safely. Ok, breathe. What now? Call AAA. Yes, great. Just one thing...my wallet is in the trunk and I am on the side of a very busy freeway. I am sure all the passers-by got a good laugh at me crawling over to the passenger seat so I could exit safely. In fact, once I got to work one of my co-workers asked if the was me on the side of the road. Not embarrassing at all. Ok, now the big question; where do I have my car towed to? I remembered one of my co-workers telling me his has a fantastic mechanic. I got the information to the shop. The owner, Tarek didn't even hesitate when he said have her towed here. I felt so relieved. I knew whatever happened was bad. My car has never failed me but she has 200k miles on her and she just flat out died. Tarek informed me he may not get to take a look at her that day. Totally understandable. To my surprise I got a call in the afternoon and it wasn't sounding good, just as I had suspected. My timing belt was shredded and it may have caused a lot of damage. We decided to move forward to fix it by putting in a new belt and seeing the results. The car was up and running in a couple days and has now been running smoothly for over 6 months. I'm so happy that a car I love so much is now back on the road and continuing to make me smile. Thank you All Automotive and Tarek! read more

awesome they fixed my car very well and very good prices 15/10 do recommend the workers their are also very nice

Tarek is the man! We have a fleet of cars, and he is invaluable to equipping and maintaining them. Highly recommend All Automotive. read more

Tarek has been working on my Honda CRV for years and he has done incredibly well at diagnosing preventative maintenance at affordable prices. Thank you Matt Cooper read more

The new owner Tarek has been working on my cars for almost 10 Years and my recent car since 2012. I've never had any problems with any of his work (from oil changes to motor builds) and if there's something you don't like or any unforeseen issues come up he stands by his work until it's done correctly. Not to mention he charges fair prices for quality work. Since he moved locations I travel from San Francisco because he's the only person I will trust to work on my car. read more

Had a great experience at All Automotive today. I needed to have a second brake installed in my Kia for driving instruction. A friend recommended I bring it here. This is a non-standard install, something many shops won't do. But Tarek wasn't phased. He worked with me to position the pedal to my liking, then got to work. He kept me posted during the install via text, letting me know when I could expect him to finish. He completed in just a few hours (I was prepared to leave my car overnight). The pedal is well-installed and the price was right. I couldn't ask for anything more, really. Will be coming back here for all my car needs in the future. read more

As far as auto repair goes, I've had some great experiences w/ Terry at All Automotive. On two separate occasions I was able to call and he was available to help me that very day. Once Terry even drove me back to work after I dropped off my car and gave me the guarantee that he would get my car fixed that day, or otherwise drive me back to my house after work. Now that's service! In addition to being dependable, Terry is honest and always willing to walk through his service with you so you know exactly what he did (great for those of us that know little about cars). Note that even Terry will admit that he is not the cheapest in town, but he will use good parts and make sure the job is done well. I've been a satisfied customer since 2004. read more

I've been going to Terry since 2004. In addition to all the positive comments that have already been said, I'd like to give some concrete examples of why he's the best: * He once made an after-hours house call after my ex and I picked up his Jeep and smoke was coming out from under the hood. Even though it was a Friday night, he came over to the house to make sure everything was OK so that we could drive to Tahoe. * When my brother (a college student at the time) got a flat tire, Terry patched his tire for free. * Last year, he let me borrow his car over the weekend because my car wasn't ready yet! * Today, he changed my tail light and refused to let me pay for labor or parts and told me how he doesn't charge his customers for something as easy as fixing a light bulb. As a long time customer, I have always been 100% satisfied. If you're looking for a good, honest mechanic, you can't go wrong with Terry. read more

I high recommend All Automotive. Terry is extremely nice, the work is done really quickly, and the prices are reasonable. He explains what he wants to do and why, and if you need several things done and are short of cash, he'll prioritize with you what needs to be done now and what can wait for a bit. Usually when I call, Terry tells me to come straight down. He's close to Google, LinkedIn, American Century, CPP, etc, so if you work at any of those it's literally a 5 minute journey. The longest I've had to wait to get my car back is overnight, and that's been when I've taken it in in the late afternoon. If I drop it off any time before about 11, I get it back the same day. I've also actually learnt quite a lot about my car and how it works since I've been going to him, which is an added bonus :-) So if you want go not get ripped off, not be told unnecessary work needs to be done, get fast, friendly, and quality service, and learn how your traction control systems works, this is the place... read more

I had a blinker light out. I called and was able to come right away to get it replaced. To top it all offhe didn't even charge me for the lightbulb change. Thank you Tarek ! read more

Great shop, a sleeper. These folks have been working on my cars for the last 25+ years, and I can tell you this... you will not find more honest, hard working mechanics. Tarek (current manager) is the nephew of Terri, who has recently retired. I have had all sorts of work done, from minor repairs to transmission rebuilds, all done quickly and right. Last month, on my 13 year old work truck, I had the steering rack replaced with full alignment, today I had new brake rotors and pads. Have my buddy Tarek hook you up! read more

Tarek is super friendly and knows his stuff. He was able to replace my Lexus' alternator, diagnose and repair a coolant leak, and get the car returned to me the same day. He's also performance car savvy and I would highly recommend him if you have such a car. read more

Tarek is an expert in every sense of the word. He was very kind and helpful, he was quick to diagnose my car and come up with a solution that we were both happy with. Highly recommend him for any day to day vehicle or track spec vehicle as well. read more

Tarek is the only mechanic I trust to have work on my turbo Miata. He knows his way around performance and track cars like noone else, and he is also super competent on more run of the mill cars like my Prius. read more

Amazing service 10/10 would come here again. Owner is very personable and know what he's doing. I'd get all my automotive services done here. read more

I really like Terry a lot. He helped me get my AC back up and running. I'm new to the area so it is great to find a mechanic who seems honest and fair. Thanks for the good work I'm enjoying my AC again! read more

Just called to ask if they worked on exhaust leaks. He proceeded to tell me it is due to broken engine mounts and the exhaust manifold was cracked, without getting any more information or even looking at the vehicle! I told him I already know where the leak is (flange between front pipe and manifold). I've had it diagnosed by a mechanic friend previously who hasn't had time to help me fix the problem. I hung up the phone. read more

Apparently this guy thinks because I'm a woman I must be incompetent. I never brought my car here because I couldn't get past the initial call. I have an unusual car and most people dont carry my oil filter so I was just trying to verify that he had it before I wasted time driving there. He was rude and treated me like I was dumb. Sorry, you won't be getting my business with that attitude. read more

I've known Tarek for a couple years and he's been my go to mechanic. He's done clutches / flywheel replacements for my S2000, TL, and NB Miata in record time with a great attention to detail (It's not my driving I swear :-) ). His prices are great, and if it is anything Miata (from race prep, engine rebuilding, to basic maintenance), he's the guy you should talk to. read more

Great service and advice. Terri will give a preliminary breakdown of probable causes with prices and cost of labor.

Excellent place! The owner Terry is very knowledgeable and friendly. I took my car to change oil and a quick check up and he took care of it quickly and efficiently! I highly recommend! read more

10-6-09 There was a nagging slow leak in one of my tires that I avoided having repaired for over a month. Finally I called Terry at All Automotive. To my surprise, he repaired the tire while I waited! I was in and out within 15 minutes. I can't believe I waited this long to call him. Note: From the street, the front of the shop looks like an office complex. The shop is actually in the rear of the building. 10-8-09 Update: The same tire flat again this morning. Back to same old routine of starting my morning with a visit to the filling station to put air back in my tire. Note to self, never ever allow tires to be repaired using the old T-handle & string plug method. It NEVER works. It should always be patched from the inside. read more

A few weeks ago, I came back to my car and found that the battery had completely died from being parked outside for over a month. I searched for car repair shops nearby and called All Automotive. Terry generously offered to drive over with a portable battery charger to help me out. After finding me and jumping my car, I followed him back to the shop so he could inspect the battery. He verified that the battery was picking up charge and helped it charge back up for 10-15 minutes by holding the accelerator down in place in neutral. He gave me clear instructions on how to get it back to normal (drive around for ~1 hour, keep the A/C and radio off). All in all, Terry is honest and provides great service. I'll be coming back for all of my car problems in the future. read more

Terry has been keeping my Mazda MX-6 healthy and happy for over seven years. He is very skilled, honest, reliable and friendly. Unfortunately I am not in the area anymore, so I cannot go back to his shop. Thanks for years of excellent service! read more

Honest mechanic. I went in to get my squeaky brake pads replaced. Terry took a look at them to explain that the noise was no harm. He then showed me how to check the health of my pads and rotors. All for free! Very happy that he didn't take advantage of me by replacing the brake pads like I thought was needed. read more

I've been taking my cars to Terry for about 15 years and won't let anybody else mess with my car. He's been extremely helpful, honest, and knowledgable. Two thumbs up. read more

I have gone to Terry Bayegan for my 3 cars over the last 13 years. I have found him to be totally honest, frugal, and friendly. He has done both major and minor work on my cars, and I have always found his work durable, and totally trustworthy. He's charged me for parts at cost or close to it, and even done minor repairs for free "because it's not a big repair, really". Somewhat of a throwback, he believes that cars can be for life if cared for properly, and has always advised me accordingly. He often advises against doing costly fixes unless necessary, and is a strong advocate for prevention. To the extent possible, he gets work done the same day, so I can drop off the car, walk over to work, and in the evening walk back and pick it up -- or he gives me a ride if I'm busy. He treats people like family, and loves cars. Highly recommended. read more

A friend recommended Terry to me. So when my check engine light turned on, I took my car to him, and I was really impressed. He started working on it right away, and spent a couple hours on it. Turns out my EGR passageway was plugged up with carbon deposits. He explained the problem to me, walked me through the options and explained what it would take to clean it. He priced the total cost at $300 less than what my Dad had to pay for the same repair on his car. My car is old, and although the cost was reasonable, it was still more than 1/2 my car's value. I explained the situation to him, he understood, and didn't charge me for the labor he'd already done! Even after I offered to pay twice. I've never had a mechanic do that for me! Thanks Terry! read more

All Automotive has moved locations to Old Middlefield Road in Mountain View, right next to where it crosses over 101. Not as nice a location as the old place (Google and Intuit are buying up all those buildings...), but Terry is still just as awesome a mechanic. read more

Highly recommended! Honest and very thorough. Explains everything about what he's fixing. Gives you a ride to and from work. Would definitely go back! read more

terry has been my mechanic for a decade, and i wouldnt trust my car, truck and in some cases even my motorcycle to anyone else. [ok, so i dont think he ever worked on the bike - but when my rims were wrecked at the dumbarton bridge he let me keep it there until i found a place i was willing to take it.] he doesnt always know what he is doing! hell, no one does. most times he does. for the times he doesnt, though, i just keep in mind (as should we all) that these are vehicles, after all, and just like our doctors, the 'expert' doesnt always know whats wrong the first time around. however, any time ive had a problem that needed looking into more than once, the second time he has been more than fair when it came to charging me for his labor. read more

Terry was introduced to me by someone with a very old and very beloved Mercedes who had known Terry and his work a long time. Now that I too have experienced several years of excellent service for 2 different cars, I feel qualified and very happy to pass on that recommendation to anyone checking Yelp. Terry is consistently quick, honest, reasonable, with good advice and clear explanations and I have never had any concerns about the work he has done - top quality. He cares about his customers but more importantly, it's clear that he cares about the cars. Call now! read more

Terry at All Automotive is the BEST! Since I moved to Silicon Valley in 2000, he has cared (yes, cared) for all my cars. He never does work the car does not need, he always uses genuine branded parts, he always has a loaner available if I call ahead, and, yes, he will prioritize work if you need that help. He has a special routine that he performs on all the cars that enter his shop; I dropped by to have my new plates installed and he insisted on doing his ritual: check the fluid levels, check the brakes, check the tire pressure--I'm sure there's more. No charge, of course. He is just the best--he has even been known to give refunds for work that did not resolve the problem. The shop is small and clean and he always delivers on time or gives you a call. Because of all the little extras he performs, I occasionally take brownies or cookies. He's that good! read more
