I am not someone who goes out of my way to write a review. But I really dread dealing with car trouble. I called 6 places, including Ashton Auto. It had the best price and that is what brought us here originally. When we met Steve, the co-owner, he was sweet and very informative. We got my car worked on and finished a movie later. My husband was so impressed he took his car the next day. I highly recommend this place and will be bringing our service here for a very long time. read more

I've dealt with Jeff a few times on my daughters Jeep. You could not find a more honest guy to deal with. I would recommend him to anyone in the Tri Valley looking for a good mechanic. Two thumb's up!!!! Jeff M. read more

I was interested in getting my 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT serviced for the rear differential, brake fluid and an oil change. Got a quote from Steve through Yelp, and booked an appointment. Went in and talk to Brandon, and got my car serviced within a few hours. Great place with good people and honest prices. I would go back to them for my Dodge needs read more

I was considering buying a used car in Dublin. They agreed to let me come in on short notice, so they could do a safety check. Their analysis was really helpful. I think they were a bit expensive for what I got out of it, but overall I think they were fair and very helpful. read more

I got my keys stuck in my car while getting lunch. They came in about 15 minutes and fixed it in about 5 minutes!! Really helped me out. However the price of 6 dollars made me frown but I was in desperate need of help. And help they did :) read more

Was her to get side mirror assembly installed for my SUV, Brandon was courteous and professional from get go, I was in and out in no time, I highly recommend this place for your vehicle's service needs. read more

Took my car in for a smog check. It turned out that because my battery died, the test failed because of a sensor not reading properly. They were nice enough to not charge me at all and gave me some advice to just drive it some more before trying again. Sure enough, I came back a week later and the test passed! Would recommend although they are not the place to go for full on collision body repairs. read more

Had such a great experience with Ashton Auto Service today. Took my car in because it was making a noise and within in hour they had called me back with the estimate. A problem arose while my car was at the shop and they needed a part that could only come from the dealer and they told me they wouldn't be able to get it until Tuesday (I dropped my car off on a Saturday). Later in the day I got a call saying that they had found the part in Fremont and I was able to get my car back same day. Great customer service! Highly recommend this shop. read more

Quick and excellent service. No hassle, quality service. Guys there are very chill and dependable.

This is an honest review. The guys that action auto service have been amazing to my family and I. I cannot write about how generous and kind they are. My family and I went through an extremely challenging time but the service and price we received is amazing. I will recommend them anyway because not only is their work astounding but their kindness and humanity shows in the service, help and compassion they provide. Although we used them once, they went ABOVE AND BEYOND for my family and I, responding on weekends and staying over on Friday, to make sure we got our car keys and our vehicle back in time. I recommend them so much. read more

These guys did the brakes of my Mazda and offered a very competitive price. I had a noise problem from the front tires after about a month from doing the brake work and they agreed to take care of it without any hesitation.Kudos to their service.. read more

Today for the first time I drove into Ashton Car Service. As soon as I walked in, the staff was very very professional. I explained the issue I was hanging with my car and he immediately understood what the problem was and he addressed it few minutes. They are thorough, understanding, and professional. I have been driving to Hayward for my car service needs as I couldn't find someone in this area. After today's incident, they definately won my current and future business. Thank you very very much. read more

Steve, Brandon and the staff are the best. I manage a classic car dealership in the area and they service and inspect all of our vehicles. I have been doing business with them for over 10 years and have referred thousands of people over that time. They are the only mechanic shop I will send my personal vehicles to as well which I am very particular about, and Steve Brandon and their staff always give me VIP treatment, and take care of my cars like they were their own. I highly recommend them whether you have a late model or classic car. You will get the best service at a fair price. read more

Hello Yelp! I've been meaning to write this for a couple weeks. If you live in--or just happen to be in--the TriValley area (SF Bay Area, East Bay, Danville, Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore) and you need your car worked on, take it to Ashton Auto in Dublin! I had one of those tricky problems involving idiot lights and getting my vehicle to pass a smog check. My Jeep has had this persistent annoying issue with the Check Engine light for years: various shops have looked at it, and the check engine light always comes back on. My vehicle failed a smog check. I changed the spark plugs and wires, and it failed again. I took it to Ashton Auto for them to look at it. I picked it up after they were done with it and took it to a local smog check station where it failed again. So I called Ashton and they had me bring it back. They ended up keeping it overnight (they have a loaner car they let me use. It's a beater but functions well) they worked on it and were able to make it pass. At that point, not only did they not charge me for the extra work that was necessary, but they also covered the cost of the smog check as well! I thought that was a very "stand up" thing to do. So a couple weeks later, my check engine light came on again, plus my vehicle had started making this "funny noise". Now, to be clear, I know very little about cars, but I do know that my Jeep has a lot of miles, and so I tend to be hyper aware of "new interesting sounds" that the thing makes, because I don't want to be stranded of course. I guess I'm just paranoid. So I took it back to Ashton Auto, just hoping to be told it wasn't going to imminently explode. They kept it overnight. When I picked it up the next day, they had done whatever they did to it--one of my cylinders is misfiring and they tweaked it and reset the sensors. That was great, but then they treated this as another warrantee of the previous work they had been doing, and they wouldn't let me pay them! Now, I know that the main reason my vehicle is having problems is cause it's old, and that's not the fault of Ashton Auto. And if one of my cylinders is misfiring due to age, then that's just how it goes until I fix that big problem (or put a bullet in the old thing's head). But Ashton Auto stood by their work, and since it was related to the first problem they treated it as their problem. They take customer service very seriously, and they definitely know what they are doing. They are always friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable, their advertised prices are competitive and you get good work for that price, they are honest, and they have a strong warrantee ethic. They have a loyal life time customer here! read more

Steve at Ashton is wonderful, honest and helpful. My Dad referred me and we as a family have trusted them with all our cars for years. I am a female in my 20's and as a woman, know that mechanics can be known for taking advantage of people who don't know a ton about cars. Ashton has refuted other mechanics' recommendations for unnecessary work. They are the best around! read more

I have three cars, a Toyota , a B.M.W., and a ford truck. I have been taking all my cars to Ashton Auto for about 7 years. The owner Steve is Very honest, and really knows what he is doing. I recently got my tires rotated at a tire store. They told me I needed front and back brakes and assembly, and some other work to the rear end. They wanted 1300.00 to do the work. I took it to Steve at Ashton and he did the work and the bill was 490.00. A loyal customer. Jeff read more

Ok imagine Don LaFontaine's voice saying "In a world...filled with teriible mechanics...preying on innocent consumers...and turning car repairs into expensive nightmares rendering human beings helpless as they hand over hard earned money to a cult of greasy players roaming our Earth...there is one true glimmer of hope left...Ashton Auto Service is on the case and saving humanitys slave driven dependence to cars...one hood pop at a time....all are welcomed and encouraged to sit down as you experience something amazing and refreshing these days called "honesty"...a humble and jolly man named Jeff may even share the history on how he acquired such a dynamic business and the loyalty he extends daily to mankind..."...a hahaha ok I am getting out of hand with all that and having way too much fun finding vocab that describes this place. In short, cause clearly I already covered the long, this is probably your last stop on the block and a wrap due to good old fashioned system of what I think a mix of scouts honor and not really digging getting sued sprinkled with getting sleep at night. Thanks Jeff and all the other guys for treating me with respect and giving the finger to car repairs and vulnerable women! "And like a good neighbor.......Ashton is there...forever hopefully" (and hitting on being sued..i added some lyrics in case of any confusion with a well known insurance companies song...my net worth would humor them anyhoo..although...I did just save a bunch of money with Ashton Auto Service!..yes my jokes may be lame but if you are still reading this and have not called, driven, towed, got your mama to do it for you kinda deal...the infamous Ashton Auto Service aka You Will Never Be The Same Auto Service (they do not guarantee everyone will drive away feeling a sense of newfound "awesomeness"...dont want to mention names...and the boost in life after placing an Ashton window decal on your vehicle and the perks that come along with it)...then you..my friend..are gonna feel lame! read more

I cannot say enough about the guys at Ashton Auto. Brandon and Steve are amazing. I have been bringing my car plus my two daughter's cars to Ashton's for almost five years. I have never had a bad experience. Our cars range in age from 1999 to 2014, and all different makes and models. I know their pricing is more than fair, because I have compared, plus they waive charges when they don't have to... but that's how they treat their customers. I never feel like I'm being over charged. I will continue to bring our cars to Ashton because I trust their service, their reliability and their knowledge of cars. read more

My 2004 Jetta has never run better. This place fixed my car to the point that is runs like new again!! I was able to take it on a road trip which is something I have not been able to do in years. I was so impressed with the professionalism and level of service I received here. I brought my car in and they looked at said, they would call me in the morning and tell me what they believe the issue was. I received a phone call the following morning and they gave me a breakdown of the problem (that I have had for years) told me the total cost and I picked up my car that evening. I have never had a better experience and I highly recommend it! read more

Very honest about what your car actually needs and finishes the job really fast. Highly recommended!

Great place! They really know how to take care of their customers! Gave me a discount for being a new customer.

Took my 97 Camry to Ashton today. My car was giving me starting problem and idle was very rough. Before Ashton, I took this car to another mechanic who made me spend about $300 which did absolutely nothing to the problem my car had. Steve (the main guy) listened to me very calmly and patiently. Spent about an hour diagnosing the problem, gave me a call to get permission to go ahead and order the parts, gave me a total price which was very reasonable. Charged me $120 for diagnostics and $20 more for installing the sensor. This was my first experience with him with a real problem (not a simple oil change and tuning stuff) which needed a good mechanic and diagnostics; Steve did a really good job. I am really very satisfied. My car is running fine and back to normal in about 3 -4 hours. Good job man and keep it up! read more

Today I had the opportunity to work with Bryan and Brandon. They were wonderful. I called them in a panic as my electrical system was on the fritz and I need my car to be reliable for my job. They got me in right away, put the car up and took a look. The recommendations they made were reasonable and there were no high pressure sale's pitches. I will be going to them for any future maintenance and repair as they do it all. read more

Had an issue with a whiny belt on a 2003 Tahoe with over 140K on it and got it taken care of by Steve and team a month or two ago. Had a coincidental hiccup with the alternator immediately afterwards but Steve 'made it right' through *excellent* customer service. Highly recommended. read more

I've been going to Ashton for 10+ years now. They are the epitome of honost, good, friendly, and efficient! Have sent my in-laws there and anyone who ever asks where to take their cars for service. Outstanding!! read more

This place is awesome! Have been taking my cars to them for while, another visit with great service reminded me that I should update my review and shout out :) read more

I tried this shop because of other reviews on Yelp. They are right. The nicest, most straightforward, helpful shop. I went in and got their special new customer discounted oil change (only $21.) talked directly to the owner who gave me a good idea of the cost of some other work I was considering. I didn't have an appointment and I was out of there in less than 30 minutes. Try them, it's nice not to have to deal with the big chains and support the local business instead. I'll be a customer for a long time... read more

Five stars+ for Steve and the whole team at Ashton. I brought them an older Corvette with an oil leak that proved tricky to diagnose. They went above and beyond to stick with it until 100% resolved. Even helped me with dropping off and picking up the car. Good mechanics are hard to find, these guys are the real deal! Charges were more than fair. Thanks Steve! read more

Did 30k maintenance on my car. Within 1 year, the break warning light went on. And the service guy at jiffy lube showed me the transmission oil was also dirty. Within 1 year, less than 10k mileage, for $500, come on! Not sure what they did on my car! read more

This is my third visit and like always great customer experience and price. Took less than hour for fixing an issue with my Subaru, other shops were making me wait for days to just take a look. read more

I went to Aston based on Yelp reviews. Great place, excellent service and very curteous staff. Steve is up-front, open and honest. Have given me reasonable quotes, have also given me a ride home on occasion when I had to leave the car at the shop the whole day. read more

Great experience with Ashton Auto Service. Gave me a list of things that needs to be fixed now and what can wait. Very professional.

This is my go to auto shop! Have had multiple cars worked on here and always feel as though I receive a fair price and quality work! They are honest and hard working mechanics that go the extra mile! read more

I have known Steve for MANY years and have always brought in all my vehicles to this shop. They are very honest, never oversell things. I would never go anywhere else. And I have to drive almost 40 miles just to get there! Best mechanic team EVER!! read more

Replaced my water pump and timing belt on my Lexus for a reasonable price compared to other mechanics. They were very accommodating and were able to get me an appointment within a week. Finished the service in a half a day. So far, so good....I will come back for further services. read more

Stopped by this morning (approx 7:30) on my way to work, I needed a SMOG check done on a used car I just purchased. Brandon was quick to help me with the SMOG check & I was to my office by 8:00! Excellent customer service, quick service & reasonable rates! read more

Same here, just found out about this place from yelp, checked the reviews, tried them...real deal! Steve the owner is nice to talk to, no hard selling, no tricks. I got the new customer 50% off discount, just mention you hear them from yelp.com. Service is fast, In-and-out in 40 minutes, highly recommending. Also go check out his collection of 1:24 Nascars and a few classics behind the counter. read more

Just fabulous! My car broke down on 680 on a late Friday afternoon. I managed to get it into a shopping center in San Ramon that night. I called Steve Saturday morning early with very low expectations because of what day it was. He had someone out to tow it in 20 minutes and the entire repair completed by that afternoon. I had to work Sunday morning and I was back on the road good as new. The communication was great and the price was very fair and honest. Thanks Steve, Travis and the entire crew at Ashton. I am a Dublin resident and am proud to keep the business in town. Keep up the good work. read more

I had never been to this service center before today. The customer service and auto service exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be returning for my auto servicing needs. read more

Love this place for smog inspection. Quick, efficient and so friendly. You can shop at traders Joe or go to smitten during the wait.
