We needed service on our vehicles air conditioning. It was an issue the dealership wanted to charge us way more than the problem was worth. So the customer service could definitely been better. The woman we both spoke to on the phone was not professional and had a know-it-all attitude. I get being slightly arrogant as a personality trait but WOW. That's something I cannot stand. But, we needed to get our car fixed so we put up with her attitude. Luckily the owner made sure to make sure we got optimal service and despite her actions, he took responsibility and didn't make a bad situation worse. read more

Yes, we've had the best service with our Tesla. We are very satisfied with everyone involved!

We have been using Cecil's for probably 20+ years to service both our personal vehicles and our company vehicles. We have found them to be honest and to guarantee their work. read more

Their R always times, especially when my car is acting wrong they'll work me in. I can count on Cecil's, I have been going to this Auto Repair shop for over now close to or more than 40 Years? I'd give them a 4.8 in the pass, today I give them a 4.0; Still in working progress with the new team. But I still depend on the new team to get my 4.8? read more

Normally I trust only Porsche specialists to work on my 2015 911 GTS. However, I know Antonio, the owner, is a car enthusiast(Lotus owner) and his shop works on specialty cars, so I entrusted the 8 years major maintenance service to his shop. I liked that Antonio provided detailed estimates so I can agreed to the work to be done and be comfortable with the approximate cost. For this service my car was in the shop for 3 days, during which engine oil and filter were replaced, as were spark plugs, the drive belt, engine air filters (requiring removal of back bumper), and brake fluids. All work were completed professionally. I had authorized new brake pads and rotors for the rear, but the shop was honest in letting me know that the pads still had 6mm and the rotors were OK, so we deferred the work to save on unnecessary cost. The shop also provided extra service at no additional labor charge, such as testing the 12V battery, and repairing a broken windshield washer hose. My car has center lock wheels and to repack the center lock nut required a special paste which was very difficult to source. Antonio found a supply at a local Honda motorcycle shop and picked it up himself. My car had trouble passing smog as it is a weekend car and not driven enough for some of the engine monitors to register. Fortunately for me, the shop's computer has some Porsche functionalities and the shop was able to complete a drive cycle successfully allowing me to smog the car. Best of all, the service costs were reasonable and saved me thousands compared to service at a Porsche dealership. read more

You won't find a more honest car repair shop in the area. They can fix anything and dealing with Gina and Mike makes for a wonderful experience. read more

Love this place! Had my heater core, motor mounts, and struts replaced here. You get honest, fair pricing, and quality work here. Gina at the front desk is a gem. Great customer service and goes above and beyond every time. I highly recommend! read more

Cecil's has always been amazing. Good customer service, communication, prices, flexibility, and quality. I appreciate their honestly with the services my car requires, which goes a long way. read more

We had a great experience here! The outside of the building and the signs may look like this place is run down, but the inside was fairly well maintained. We had an appt for them to inspect our AC. Turns out there's no issues so they didn't charge us much just the hourly service for the check. Since we were their last scheduled appt they were also able to squeeze in an oil change too. Price was fairly decent. Thanks Tre for doing our auto inspection. BONUS: There were snacks and drinks for guests. The only complaint I had was there was barely any AC and it was fairly warm the day we went. read more

Oil leaks. Tech found source, corrected and cleaned up residue. Great fast, accurate honest service . We are very pleased.

We haven't used Cecil's for many things over the years other than oil changes for all of our vehicles. They are one of the few businesses that will allow us to bring our own oil and filter. Their service has always top notch and they have always treated us fairly and honestly. The only problem that you will have to deal with is getting in/out and limited parking. This is not their fault. A few years ago "progress" got the 'best of them' as a corner business, with changes to Davis Street and Hume Way. Don't let that discourage you from using them. After you use them once, you will know the 'secrets' of dealing with this situation. read more

The pricing is amazing and the staff is incredible. They always take the best care of all our automotive needs. We have all of our vehicles serviced there, and always will! Thank you for the great service. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

I highly recommend Cecile's Hi-Tech Auto Care. I found their garage to be clean, and well organized. They were efficient with their time which then saved me time in labor. I drove all the way from Concord to Vacaville and will gladly do it again. There were no surprises and the charges were a third of what I was given down in the Bay area. Well worth the drive. Thank you Cecile's. read more

Cecil's Auto Care is a very professional, honest and good place to take your vehicle. Gina Gaddis, the administrator, gets back to you right away if you request an appointment. She is also very helpful if you have any questions about the billing or upcoming service you may need on your vehicle. read more

We bring all of our 5 cars to Cecils! They always take good care of us and our cars. Highly recommend!!! They have a welcoming lobby to wait for your car which includes a table and chairs, magazines, free refreshments and a restroom. They will always make recommendations for what your car needs but they won't force service on you. There's nothing like having a car place you can trust. read more

Horrible experience will not go back.. Customer service unacceptable.. They want your money and don't care if you return. Took my car in for overall inspection in hopes of finding a fluid leak... the findings were leaking valve cover gaskets.. Remove and replace $570.. I agreed and took my car in for service.. 2hours later I received a 2nd text explaining additional parts: emission hoses and tubes plus labor. Would be additional $247.. I Did not understand the additional labor if it's remove and replace? the emissions hose and tubing are a step in the removal process. I want to add that the extra parts are items in the valve cover kit.. they ordered the wrong kit! (did not come with additional parts). Not my fault but they wanted to pass on the expense to me.. The mechanic cut my old hoses and tubes to facilitate the removal and was forced to install old hoses with electrical tape when I refused to pay the extra $247.. The elderly lady up front is not friendly and does not care about customers.. all about the $$ read more

Love this place. When I needed my car problem fixed, not only did they never give up on finding what was the issue, they never charged me until they found and fixed my issue... read more

I take both my Checy Suburbans to Cecil's for everything from oil changes to a new gear box. Repairs are necessary and done efficiently. Front desk is great about getting me in and keeping me updated. The shop is reliable, reasonably priced and a pleasure to deal with. No need to shop around. read more

My husband brought his car in because the check engine light was on and we had some stalling issues. Cecil's was extremely responsive and made us an appointment right away when we called. They make sure to send you a report listing all of the costs and work that will be done after a diagnostic. They work professionally and quickly. I now have a new trustworthy company to take my car when maintenance needs arise. read more

We have been taking our vehicles to Cecil's high-tech auto care for close to 20 years now. They have kept us safely driving on all the California roads and highways have to offer, and we use our vehicles for camping and outdoor recreation frequently, which means driving up into the mountains frequently as well. We feel that they do only the automotive work that is necessary, and that their prices have remained competitively fair. Their work is reliable, and we have confidence in all the work they have done. Yesterday, was no exception. They replaced our catalytic converter as well as the intake, manifold and valve cover in repairing a check engine light that yielded six codes! Mike has been a truly consistent, excellent mechanic in the shop. The owner, Antonio, has created a very professional atmosphere, and their clear communication and computerized billing system has led to clear understanding of all the work. And at the helm of the front reception, scheduling, and communication is Gina, who has also consistently been extremely pleasant and professional throughout the history of our relationship with Cecil's Hi-Tech Auto Care. We comfortably and with confidence, would recommend this shop to anyone! read more

Excellent service and great prices. Gina was awesome! Had an oil change on both of my vehicles.

Had an amazing experience at Cecil's Hi-Tech Auto Care! The prices were very reasonable. The customer service was the best I've had in a long time! Gina and the Technicians were extremely helpful and very professional. Would highly recommend this shop and will be using it from now on! read more

Took my van into have brakes done and they found it also needed the cabin filter changed. I declined because I could buy the cabin filter and have my hubbs change it and save the $40 for a super cheap part. As soon as I left the air conditioner fan sounded like an airplane taking off. Called next day because it wasn't done until few before 5pm. They said bring it back in. Told them my son would do it as I was leaving the country on vacation. We had purchased the cabin filter and it was on my van seat. They sent the invoice to my son who forwarded to me. There is an 11 hour time difference from where I was vacationing. They were charging me for the repairs and the cabin filter because a rodent had made a nest and destroyed the cabin filter. It wasn't making that noise when I dropped it off as I leave air on all the time because it's been freakin hot. So I called and asked if they used MY filter and why I would be charged for the work when i guess the rodent built a nest while it was there all day?! Service writer was not happy and said she didn't know I had a filter in my car so they were going to charge my son for their "rodent" issue AND for putting in my own filter! Very disappointed because I researched the reviews and it seemed well respected. So much for trying to support a small business rather than take to Toyota and be grossly overcharged. Will not go back and can not recommend. read more

This is the only place I will trust with my car! Brought my Audi Q5 in for a light malfunction error and they went the extra mile to diagnose the problem and get it repaired quickly. It wasn't an easy fix, and I was so thankful for their expertise and thoroughness. They got me in quickly, kept me posted about their progress, and were able to get it back to me within 24 hours. Awesome, knowledgeable team! read more

Went in for an oil change. Not the cheapest but Cecil's has a good rep. Disappointed though when they tried to talk me into cabin and engine air filters change. I had just recently changed the filters my self so I knew they did not need changed. I saw them pull in and know they never really checked the filters before making the recommendation. Easy $80+ for the business as you pay for over priced parts and labor for something you can do yourself in less than 5 Min. Seems like this is a standard as numerous calls were made to customers while I was waiting stating the all need new filters. Maybe they did..but I certainly did not. Beware of this if you use them. read more

I've been coming here for years for oil changes and maintenance. Great customer service, quality work, and a trustworthy shop. Gina is the best!! read more

Cecil's is my trusted Auto Care Specialist. Gina is so knowledgeable and always gets you in asap. My tire light was on and they fit me in that afternoon, checked and filled tires with proper air level and did not charge me. They explained that I would need to drive the car and it would reset the tire signal light. If the light remained on, I would need to come back and have the tire sensor's checked. They have always been helpful with my immediate issues, and have given me estimates on future needed maintenance calls. I recommend Cecil's for excellent service at a fair and reasonable price. read more

Let's start with Gina, my husband took our middle boy to this shop due to his car making some awful noises and told me all about their wonderful experience with this company and how Gina was not only kind but knew this business very well. Took the car in Friday and they worked their magic to get it back to our son by noon Monday! Which is amazing! They are very busy but they some how made things work out, and that means a lot to a hard working young man! My husband use to be a mechanic for many years and is limited on what he can do at home without the proper machines/tools, so coming to a shop for our family doesn't happen to often to be honest! Hubby says they charged our son a good amount, definitely was not overcharged and well taken care of! Thank you Gina for helping my guys...and thank you to the hard working mechanics...always doing such hard work but never noticed for it! read more

Very upfront. Had them recharge 2 of my vehicles AC. Both times they were honest, and very fair. I'm an HVAC contractor, but know My limits. Will continue to go back. read more

Needed a service on my cooling system on my Nissan Armada. Got me in within a few days. Quick service and very friendly. Excellent!

My Mini Cooper had a dent and some red markings on the front driver side of the hood under the headlight and the red markings on the bumper, after the car was there for 3 days. Took the car in on a Monday and we get a call back that one of their lifts was broken and would take an extra day to do the job. (Should have pick the up then), we finally get the car back on a Thursday and realized damage to the front end of the hood, when I get home, something or someone backed into the car and also bent the hood. We called the shop back and of course their response "it didn't happened here!" 1400dls later come home with body damage, their parking lot is small. My wife called backed and asked for any camera footage and they said they have no cameras. Also mentioned that, they thought something splashed the car. Cmon if u are a car mechanic u would have seen the damage right away and should have at least called to let us know about it, at the very least. If u do decide to take your precious vehicle here, I suggest to take make someone from the shop with you and walk around the car with u before they work on it. Or don't take it there at all! read more

Brought my car to Cecil's for the first time. Customer service is excellent, my vehicle service was completed on time and I will come back again for future service. read more

I called and scheduled an appointment to have the A/C In my 2015 Honda Civic fixed. Originally I scheduled it for 6/30 but it was a super hot week and took a chance and called two weeks earlier. They took me in that afternoon. To make a long story shorter , the repair was done just a few days later and now it blows cold air again just like when I bought it new in August of 2015. I even tested to see if the air was as cold as my friend's 2019 CRV she bought new and it is. I'm very happy with the job they did and now considering having them do my regular oil changes too. Great service read more

I started using Cecil's in the summer of 2016 and have only had good experiences with them. From basic oil changes to fixing A/C they do a good job at a fair price. What prompted me to write this though was during my service this morning, they took the initiative and fixed a piece of undercarriage (if that's even what's it called) that was flapping around by the front bumper/quarter panel. I think a car got me while grocery shopping and did a parking lot hit and run on me... Anywho - they spent a couple minutes tie strapping it out of the way for me so you can't even hardly tell there's any damage. Its small stuff like that that I like about 'em. read more

The owner Antonio is honest and fair in his pricing. They worked hard on my car and I appreciated the open communication with the needed repairs. No confusion and so easy to discuss options. Gina who handles everything in the office gave great customer service. They went out of their way to make sure things were taken care of and that I was a happy customer. Great team! read more

Routine check up and recommends whats needed not what they want to sell you!!! Will be a loyal customer and will recommend to anyone who I can!!! read more

I have been taking my car here for the last four years and ever time i go in, Gina always goes above and beyond to help out with any car need i have. Nowadays when people are stressed out about so many thing, it is so nice to come to a business where the people really care about about each and every customer that walks thru the door. I will never take my car elsewhere unless they are gone, which i hope never happens. i recommend Cecil's Hi tech Auto to everyone. thank you all read more

Ledi on the phone said I have to pay about $2000 to change AC compressor on my 1998 Jeep Cherokee. Wooooow! Super high price!
