I returned to A+ auto repair after a flat tire, and ended up having a long overdue inspection of my…read morecar. Perhaps a flat tire on the way to work is the signal to have an inspection, which is exactly what Justin had recommended for my car. I went with many of his recommendations in terms of what to fix, and the reports are just so thorough in what they find, that it is hard to delay anything to be taken care of. Justin's transparency throughout the process was definitely the highlight - his communication was stellar, even after my car was fixed, he called me to see if everything was all right after the fact. Although the turnaround time was extended, they offered a ride to the shop, as well as offered their rental car for the potential weekend I was going to be without my car, which I ended up not needing the entire weekend, as my car was only in the shop the next extra morning. All in all, I have a maintained car, new tires, and I had yet another great experience at A+ auto repair. Thanks again Justin!

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!…read more As a single woman, it can feel overwhelming when something unexpected happens with your car. I noticed something underneath mine and just needed a quick mechanic check for peace of mind. I searched for the closest shop right before closing- there were already cars waiting- and honestly, they could have easily turned me away. But instead, Isabelle went above and beyond. She literally got down on the ground to take a quick look and then kindly squeezed me in to see Ishmael. That level of care and willingness to help, especially at closing time, truly stood out. What may seem like a small act meant everything to me. They gave me reassurance, professionalism, and kindness when I needed it most. I left feeling relieved and taken care of instead of stressed about the unknown.

I called late at night and Cesar responded within minutes and we got it scheduled the next morning. He was also giving me live text updates.

Predatory towing!!! My car was towed from parking area at a…read morelot where I was shopping. When I tried to get it back by calling the number provided on the sign a very rude girl answered. She proceeded to act like she was a police officer including demanding to speak with shop owners. She insisted the tow company asked each of the shop owners if that was a customer car before towing it however if that's the case of the 3 shops at the lot, than why would they need to ask all 3 unless no one acctually reported the car and they specificly target that small lot hoping to see a car they can potentially tow for a quick money grab . Which is exactly what one of the shop employees revealed when he was speaking to me after this situation happened and I was trying to get an address of the tow yard. And I witnessed it as I was at the lot waiting to get the information the same towing company truck came back to the lot and circled it with in a short time frame ( when at that point I was there and talking to all 3 shops owners/employees so I know they were not contacted and were simply doing tow rounds to see if any cars had been there since they last circled). Hence predatory towing!!! This way they can then go to each of the 3 shops and ask if that's a customer's car however obviously the shop owners won't know which customer owns which car so they quickly tow it and basically get a cash grab .... The little girl on the phone service refused to accept the employees account over the my phone when she asked to speak with them and they verified i was a customer and had been in the store. She proceeded then to question them aggressively about times and reciepts for purchases ( this was a Chinese gentleman who was getting very uncomfortable whith the way she was battering him with her questioning and aggressive stlye. He simply explained i was I had indeed used his store he wasn't sure of the exact time and she continued to battered him about the exact time until he finally gave me the phone back and said I gave her the correct information she asked for but I dont know exact time. She acted like she was the police questioning a criminal when she obviously isn't and was extremely unprofessional poorly trained... it took 5 times of calling the auto get her to revealed the address as she kept letting it go to voice mail ( which is in fact illegal in a private tow posted phone number) There's supposed to be a 24 hour pay by phone number listed. SHE would not accept the shop owners account that I was indeed there. She then said I would need to go to the address of the towed vehicle at 930 Pm even though it was over an hour from that time . When I arrived in a Uber I tried calling the number to make sure there would be someone coming and agian voice mail... I arrive at 915 so at 930 when no one showed up and I was stuck in a very dark and isolated areas alone I called the police number. They were finally able to reach her through there number and she said someone was on the way. I explained this was dangerous for me to be standing in such an isolated place latest night alone female and her person meeting me was still not there and late at this point and her response was don't worry nothing going to happen there and she hung up on me ... They tow guy finally arrived over 20 minutes late. I did have a written statement I gathered from the shop owners that I was indeed at the shops signed by them and I do have an ATM reciept also time stamped from the ATM machine in the market. When I asked for my itemized invoice from the employee that charged my card 680.00 and released the car and happened to be the guy who towed it in the first place and his name which they are legally supposed to provide along with a customer rights document he didn't provide any of that and would not answer me when I asked what time he towed this car and who indicated this tow in the fist place. HE ONLY provided me a receipt for my payment made under duress and a company card with only bussiness name and number on it ( NOTHING ELSE).This too is illegal and falls under Predatory and wrongful towing practices. I DID try to call the original signage phone number when I arrived home this time same girl answerd I explained it wanted the itemized tow invoice and I asked her the time my vehicle was towed she asked for my license plate number and agreed that I should have received that information and she would send it to me in a pdf however before I could give it to her she yet again hung up on me after I asked what time they in fact towed me ( obviously not with on the one hour rule ) Agian Predatory towing! THIS company is completely unprofessional and untrained in proper private property towing laws of San Mateo County! They should be investigated throughly. THEY have figured out a way to illegally tow people's vehicles and basically strong arm you into paying for the exorbitant rate to get your car back . EVEN when wrongful tow!!!!!​

They told me what would be involved and that they would not be able to work on it without it costing a fortune. A less than honest shop might've tried to soak me for a repair job that ends up costing more than expected. I know, because others have tried that. These guys gave me an honest appraisal, and I remembered that when choosing a shop to work on my wife's car. We had just bought a 2006 BMW 330 ci, and like clockwork, just after the 30-day warranty expired, we had problems. It had just rained torrentially for three straight days and unbeknownst to us, the drainage ports in the trunk were completely clogged, allowing water to build up and penetrate to the electrical system. We noticed the dash lights, indicators, and steering wheel controls did not work. We brought it to Toole's with the hope that it was something easily diagnosed and fixed. It wasn't. To keep an already long story from getting much longer, I will just say that it was a 4-day-long diagnosis as the problem component(s) were not easily found, even with advanced diagnostic equipment. They sought out expert advice from other professionals who specialize in BMWs. The problem component was found and replaced. I originally agreed to three hours of labor, but since it went as long as it did, I happily agreed to an extra hour. So essentially, they stuck to the agreement plus a reasonable additional amount. I tried to add on a tip but they wouldn't accept it. We bought them pizzas instead. I recommend this shop because they're honest, friendly professionals who seem to really want to help out their customers while running a respectable business.

The first time they did what they were supposed to but also added all sorts of nonessential, foolish, 'let's see if the old lady falls for this' service recommendations. It immediately reminded me of back in the day when car salesmen pushed undercoating. Also not necessary. I politely declined the extra +/- $1,000 (!) services. I tried again about two weeks ago when I went in for a problem with the driver's side window. Give them a second chance. The young man told me, to my face, that it would cost $260 **just to look at the problem**. In deference to his youth I did not say what I was really thinking, asked him to repeat the quote, said thank you and left. Here's the thing - women are actually not stupid and this kind of thing happens to us all the time. It is infuriating and highly insulting. Ask any woman you know to tell you her version of these experiences. Finally, the core issue is being disrespected. No one wants that. Oh, the end of the story is that I went to another shop nearby and the guys looked at the problem immediately, fixed a minor adjustment and did not charge me. BTW, they had three or four bays: BMW, Lexus, Mercedes so clearly they were trusted. Just saying. Bye.
