Been here 2 times for oil change and tire rotation, service is great and prices are fair. It's a no frills shop, you can drop off your car or they have a couch and WiFi in the garage / shop if you want to wait, it definitely gets busy so call ahead! Overall a 5 star experience! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Moe and his team are awesome! One morning my car was shaking suddenly when I drove it, I was worried I couldn't make the full drive to work. I found there was high ratings at Babylon nearby, so I took it there at lunch time. I explained what was happening, and Moe said he'll take care of it. I got a text shortly after dropped it off and lyfted back to work. He said that it was an engine misfire, and gave the price. I did some quick research and found it was lower than any of the prices I was finding for a misfire around South Bay, so I happily agreed. Later on, I got a text with a photo of my air filter and AC cabin filter, it was long-overdue, horrendous, and grimy. I hadn't thought about my cabin filter for years. He said he'll go ahead and change my filter. I asked how much it would be to get a quote, and he said it was free, he'll just go ahead and throw in a new one for me, no charge. :) When I got back to pick up my car, Moe joked about how I shouldn't let my cabin filter get that dirty. He's very jovial, and passionate about his business, I can tell he cares about making sure his customers are getting a good deal, and taking care of their vehicle. I'm definitely a returning customer. Later I even recommended my BF to go to Moe later on when his passenger side mirror got partially knocked off by a careless SF driver. Moe got him a good deal, and it came out looking like brand new!! read more

Really cool guys! They were very helpful and polite! They did a very good quality job

Mo is a really nice person. He gives great customer service and charges less than most mechanics.I have a chevy suburban 2015 and brought my own oil and oil filter and charges me $25 to change my oil that's really good.Hit him up if anyone needs there car fixed! read more

My 2004 Mazda has been making some pretty bad metal on metal noise for a few weeks. Finally decided to get on yelp to check out places nearby and noticed the great reviews here. Messaged Babylon this morning to get a quote on how much it would be to diagnose the problem and was quickly messaged back that they do free inspections and to bring it by anytime. I brought it over about an hour later and my car was there less than hour before I received the call that I needed my engine replaced. Unfortunate news on my end but I am extremely happy with the fast response, and the quick and honest service. I will definitely be bringing my new car to them for an inspection as well as any services it needs in the future. read more

Came here to get my break pads and discs replaced, they were all friendly and made me feel welcome. It didn't take too long and was relatively well priced. They offered genuine oem parts no third market bs and the car felt amazing afterwards. I recommend coming here and i'll always be back for more service. read more

The service is awesome!! I had a great experience. My car was in an accident and after all the insurance stuff my car was ready. it only took 4 days after dropping it off. Its like brand new. Mo the owner went over and beyond. The car rental place couldn't pick me up and he gave me a ride there to get my rental car. He was honest and fixed my car. He didn't try to bullshit me and only fixed what was needed. And he washed my car too! I will come here again. Thank you!! read more

Babylon Auto - Nice and shiny! - Auto Repair Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Went here due to the great reviews. Paid to have an oil and oil filter change a few months ago. Gave them an OEM filter and the oil I prefer to use. Went to change the oil today and saw the same old filter on my car. I know this is the old filter, I supplied an OEM filter to be put on the car (I had an aftermarket reusable filter on the car at the time). The same aftermarket filter was still on the car! Disappointed. Update: Owner replied to me and claimed I supplied the wrong filter and that a different aftermarket filter was placed on the car. WRONG! I know for a fact it is the old filter and the mechanic working on my car never mentioned having issues with the filter I gave to him. I bought the filter I gave to them DIRECTLY from a Subaru dealer. He also claims they don't accept parts from customers. So why did they accept the oil and oil filter I gave to them? Makes no sense, never coming back. I like small businesses but I'd advise other people not to come if they can't even do a simple oil change without scamming and lying. read more

I came to Babylon Auto to get a second opinion on a quote I had received from Firestone for major services on my car. Babylon reaffirmed that most of the work needed to be done and they were able to do it for less than half the amount quoted by Firestone. The owner dropped me all the way to my house 20 minutes away and offered to pick me up. He found some other parts were needed and included them for the same price. Very satisfied with the job and the cost and the friendly service from everyone there. I would highly recommend for any work needed for your car and plan to return for my future car repairs. read more

My car had some scratches on it, so I came to Babylon Auto to have it repaired because of the good reviews. Mo was offered me the lowest price and provided great customer service. My car was repaired within 2 business days just as Mo promised. The scratches were completely gone, and my car looked brand-new. I highly recommend Babylon Auto and will come here again in the future if I need other repairs. read more

Mo and his team are excellent and very friendly! I had an oil change recently at Babylon Auto the cost was reasonable. Today I had a suspicion that my car was running low on oil, and they checked it for me right away without an appointment. It was good thing that I stopped in because my car was completely out of oil. I must have a leak somewhere. I'll be back for sure! read more

Mo is always helpful and honest. I have brought my Mercedes here for repairs and have always been satisfied with the service. Mo has very competitive prices and always calls with a quote before doing any work on the car. He always makes himself available even for questions over the phone. I highly recommend Babylon Auto Service. read more

Babylon helped us when my daughter blew the engine in her Lexus RX350. Ali did some checking and informed us the existing engine was toast. He found us a used replacement engine with 80k miles and finished swapping the engine out in a little over a week. That's fast. Since we were from out of town, we were really in dire straits. Babylon treated us like family, picked my daughter up from the bus station when she returned to pick the car up and were super helpful throughout the entire process. The repairs were done right and the pricing was very fair. Use them, you'll be glad you did. Thanks Babylon. read more

Mohammed is very nice and cool guy, got a quote over the phone for replacement of my ac compressor, drive belt and synthetic oil change for my Corolla. Prices are very reasonable. Dropped off my car before he closed then picked it up the next day. He even gave me a call to give me an update on the status of repairs. Will come back next time to get my brakes replaced. Thank you very much Mohammed see you next tlme! Update Went to babylon auto for my civic that got hit by a car, again Mo was very helpful, got a quote then dropped the car off he first said it will take 4-5days but he finished in 3 days. He replaced the bumper and fender and got it painted, he even polished my headlights for free! I also had them replace the oxygen sensor thats giving me a check engine light. Thanks again Mo! read more

BEST AUTO SHOP! I come here for all my Mini Cooper S needs. I've experienced some issues with my Mini over the years and it has always seemed like other mechanics pile on additional services other than the reason I initially brought my car in for and catch me off guard on the the bill or the issue reoccurs in just a few days/weeks. After 10 years it was time for a clutch replacement (YIKES, right?). I did some research from South SJ to Redwood City for, yet again, another mechanic. Since most experiences have been unpleasant or mediocre, finding a mechanic involved weeding through YELP reviews followed by hope, trial and error. I found Babylon Auto through word-of-mouth, and was a well-kept secret... it is a modest shop, but has a variety of capabilities. Mo (owner) and Murad (mechanic) are friendly, listened to my concerns and explained potential problems, and followed through with an inspection and a thorough explanation (in terms that I could comprehend). Their knowledge, efficiency and service are impeccable. Since this experience, I've been coming here for just about all my Mini Cooper needs (leak from an oil valve, oil change, smog, air conditioning, CLUTCH, etc.) and recommending this place to friends and family. It is a relief to find a reasonable, honest and caring place that ensures customer satisfaction, peace of mind and safety. read more

Great customer service, thanks to MO! Guys, there is a reason why this shop has been in business for over 7 years and have such good reviews on Yelp! that's how i got attracted to the place and will definitely return next time :D read more

These guys are amazing. Very professional, and great open communication. They do great work, and give great deals. I've serviced a 2016 Jeep Wrangler with them so far, and referred my friends and girlfriend to them, as well. The only place I will take my car around here. read more

This review is long over due! I apologize to Mo. this shop is the truth! Do not hesitate to bring your vehicle here. They are trustworthy and very fair priced. Let me start off by saying, I know my way around a car. I've had many engines professionally built from a 65 olds 442, RSX Acura to a 98 civic. So I know when I'm being shafted and this team really showed me that is not what they do! Let me start from the beginning. I took my Sequoia to another shop because it was making a slight noise and I didn't want to deal with it. 3 hours later I get a call that they need to rethread a cyclinder. Well, they ended up cracking my head and tried to act like it wasn't their fault. Said I need a new head gasket!? Crazy I took my car over to Mo because of the reviews. Told the team what happened and that I need a new head gasket ( not knowing that my head was cracked yet, we learned that later). The team said," no way, these engines don't break, maybe something else is going on here". So they did their investigation and determined it did need a head gasket, BUT it could have a possible head crack because of the other shop. I let them start the job, they offered for me to take the head in, I refused and said I don't have time. Well, the machine shop determined it was cracked (I verified through the machine shop). They did the job and for a great price! Because of there honesty and knowledge I will be taking all my cars to this shop. They work hard on keeping their reputation up because as a auto shop, that's all you have! These guys are great and I appreciate not just 1 person, but a team of people who work with high standards and integrity. They're not young kids who are learning, they are seasoned vets who enjoy their craft. Thank you Babylon Auto for being real! read more

Mo at Baylon Auto is the best and has the best Auto service that you can ask for! Mo is always amazing!!! Amazing service, pricing and quality provided. Very friendly and great service. 5 Stars and highly recommended!! read more

My car was leaking something and I was down the street at a different mechanic where they dismissed me so I went to Babylon for the good reviews and they actually checked my car and saw a small oil leak. Luckily it wasn't of huge concern because my car is old and expected to leak. They also filled my coolant for free which was nice. Thank you. read more

Babylon Auto is truly as good as it gets. As a non-resident of California, I am aware of how pricey everything is in Santa Clara. It was reassuring to me that Babylon gave me a fair price for their services. I recommend this place to Santa Clara University students. The location was great for me because it was a short walking distance from SCU and my house. I went to classes while my car was serviced. I contacted Babylon via email on their website yesterday at 4pm after my check engine light and maintenance required light came on. In an hour, I quickly got a call back from them. They scheduled me for the next morning at 10 am and told me they'd diagnose my car. On the next day, they quickly diagnosed my car and gave me a fair price estimate immediately and told me that I could get pick up my car in a few hours. He said he could've gotten my car out earlier but I was busy at the earlier times he offered. When he was finished with my car, he gave me a brief run-down on what he fixed and what I should do with my car in the future so I would have fewer problems (e.g. date for an oil change, report any small abnormalities). My visit was the polar opposite of what I originally thought would be a huge inconvenience time-wise and money-wise to fix my car. Overall the mechanic was honest and knowledgeable. I will definitely be returning and recommend this to my college/Bay Area friends. read more

Mo is a very friendly and hospitable business owner, he even made me a cup of tea! I called the business at 8am sharp and Mo told me I can bring my Mazda Miata over right away for an oil change at a surprisingly great price relative to other shops in the area. My car was in and out within 30 minutes. The service and hospitality exceeded my expectations! I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone in the Santa Clara area! read more

Very helpful! Went in for oil change and wheel alignment inspection, he got me in and out in a couple hours! And the cost was very reasonable, well under what dealerships would ask for. read more

I'll keep it short: they offered the best price, did the job very professionally, and were able to order the part and finish installing it super quick (few hours). It has already been 2 months since my visit, and the repair has proven to work (they replaced my AC condenser for my 2014 Honda, and the AC is indeed blowing cold!). Strongly recommend! read more

Quick and friendly service. Great pricing. I stopped by today with a flat tire due to a nail. They took me right away and had me on my way in a few minutes. Highly recommend this shop! read more

Lots of serious auto problems recently and just getting from one street to another in Santa Clara was dicey...stopped here and Moe was extremely kind, offering assistance with our dying tire! Without him, we would never have made it that extra distance to replace the tire with a new one. Thanks again, Moe, from the ladies in the black MB! read more

The check engine light of our car was on and the Hyundai service center didn't have an appointment for six months. That was fortunate for me because I found Babylon Auto: I was able to book an appointment through yelp. I dropped the car and it was inspected in a few hours with issue being fixed without any cost, which shows the integrity and honesty of the owner. I'll definitely come here from now on for any service or issues with our car. Thanks! read more

Car needed quick repair and they came through with great service. They were fast and easy to communicate with

I came here per recommendation of my dad (a casual car enthusiast) after my brakes were making terrible noises for a couple weeks. As suspected, the shop was able to diagnose the brake pad issue within the first 15 minutes I was there. I Lyfted home and got a text about 5 hours later that my car was ready. Believe me when I say I drove home feeling like my 15 year old car was a whole different vehicle. Quick no-nonsense work and competitive pricing. read more

Such a great place and amazing owner and person working there ... very responsive and taking the time to hear my concerns in the car and explaining to me the damaged parts that are needed to be replaced/repaired. I highly recommend this place and you can definitely come here and feel that you will be treated fairly and much cheaper cost than any other place I have obtained quotes from. Thank you Mo. read more

WARNING SYAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!!!!! I took my car in for transmission oil and filter change. They claim the car I have has no filter and had the gall to charge me $180 to just chsnge the fluid. When I brought it to there attention I was still having problems and that the car DID IN FACT HAVE A EASY TO REACH TRANSMISSION FILTER they told me it didn't and told me I must rebuild the transmission (only 79k milage on car). The price they wanted was $1600. I came home and proved the car DOES have a acceable filter. You just need to get the filter kit and 30 minutes and its done. Just because I am a female I guess I am stupid. I have been working on cars since I was 10. Even raced cars for a while. Because of spinal damage I can no longer work on cars or I would do it myself. So much hassel for a simple job. BE WARNED! !! read more

There was no wait and they took me immediately and fixed it right then and there. Fixed the outer shell of my tailpipe. Offered warranty if it came off in the future. Flexible in price. read more

Mo is great! I made the mistake of buying two high-maint vehicles-- always some dumb light going off. Mo and his team always take care of me! I found Mo when my car was at the BMW dealer - they would not install a part that I had purchased. The service manager recommended Babylon and ha well I never went back to the dealer again! read more

Amazing service with Toyota Sienna 2006 model. I had to get the Brake replacement done for both the front and rear . They also confirmed a problem with bearing on front left , which they graciously replaced . Bablyon people were transparent in cost estimation and very professional and also on time. I would highly recommend this shop. read more
