10 out of 10. I had them replace the sparkplugs on my subaru. Steve is just great. Polite, respectful, and knows his stuff. I thought I'd get grief for not replacing the coil-packs at the same time (a LOT more money, and maybe not necessary). Instead of second guessing my decision, he explained that he'd switch 2 of the coil-packs when installing the plugs to help troubleshoot the problem. I was floored. No upsell, let me help you. Great service. 10 out of 10!!!!!! PS: The plugs were the problem, and he happily let me know that. read more

Steve and his crew go above and beyond. They treat their customers with great importance and get the job done. They do maintenance on your car like no other. I have been coming to choe's auto center for 10 plus years, they give me useful advice about my vehicle and prepare me when it is time to replace a part. Me knowing that i trust their work and knowledge, i leave with a peace of mind. I value their business. read more

I've been bringing my cars to Steve at Choe's for decades now.. since the shop's previous location over by Safeway and the BART tracks long ago. From the first time I brought my car to him, he's been quick, respectful, and honest. He listens to what you need, or to what issue you're having and gets right to work diagnosing what's going on. He's honest to a T. He's not out to get over on you, nor to try to upsell you on anything. He's exactly the kind of mechanic everyone hopes to find and have as their go-to mechanic they can rely on. Naturally, not everyone can be pleased and some might, on rare occasion, somehow manage to not have an excellent experience, however, for myself, my family members, our friends, and many others, Steve has earned 5 stars and very loyal clientele. I live in Sacramento now and after trying several various shops around the area, some highly recommended, others, top rated with mostly 5 star ratings and predominately excellent reviews, none have earned my trust or desire to return like Steve has. Thank you Steve for years of great service and last but not least, for always having been very fair and reasonable with your pricing. That part is very important as well, a big help, very much appreciated! read more

You absolutely need to make an appointment before coming here. I once stopped by because my car was acting up, and the guy went off on me for showing up without one. On top of that, the workmanship isn't that great for the price. read more

Steve is the ideal mechanic. He is professional and reasonably priced. Excellent quality in everything he does.

My car's been driven a lot, so it was time to replace the front brake pads and rotors. Appointment was at 10 AM and they took it in right away and finished quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend this auto repair shop -- he does a great job! read more

I'm not exaggerating when I say I have never been happier with a mechanic or more at ease with car issues than working with Choe's auto. If Steve was a cult leader I would happily drink the koolaid. I never brought my car here before it broke down and I had to drop it overnight. Next day he got started immediately and I was able to pick her up the following day. He's so reasonably priced and did preventative care to make sure it won't happen again. I will not take my car anywhere else. Thanks Steve! read more

Quick service and cheaper charges Highly recommend Very friendly and helpful too Neighbor hood gem read more

Honest and reliable. Master mechanic! Great turnaround time with reasonable prices. I would recommend him to anyone.

Choe is the man, I called a bunch of different places and he gave me the best deal on installing my struts and used customer supplied parts which most places will not do. Also he tried helping out my car after I was in an accident and every other place I talked to wouldn't bother unless they fixed the car perfectly and costed thousands of dollars. He got my car back on the road for a fraction of the price, and put in more effort than most mechanics would for that cost. I'm happy I found him, he's the neighborhood gem read more

I frequent Choe's Auto Center with my Honda Pilot for a few years now. To name a few things that they did on my car: replacement of front brake rotors, and a complete set of brake pads; replacement of intake air hose; replacement of radiator plus hoses, etc. the mechanic, Steve is knowledgeable and efficient. Each time I come to his shop with a problem, he always tries to fix the problem the same day. For this, I am deeply indebted to his eagerness to serve. He treats his customers as his close friends and relatives. He is honest and the prices are reasonable and affordable. What an oasis in a desert of mechanics! read more

Steve is the most honest, and fair priced mechanic around! Highly recommended this business

Steve was unable to identify the issue because the engine appeared to operate normally when started in the shop, so he declined to charge any fee, stating that no work had been done. read more

I'm not sure if I talked to the owner or not but whoever looked at my Explorer a couple of days ago was honest, quick and even told me that the work was too much for him and to take it to the dealership. I appreciate the honesty and diligence of getting my vehicle looked at so quickly. I'll definitely be taking any other repairs needed to Choe's read more

My name is James and I just wanted to say that Choe's wad the best auto mechanic shop that I have ever dealt with. The customer service was number one and it was more affordable than any other mechanic shop I had ever been to. If you need any work done on your car or truck, visit Choe's and you will never want to use another shop read more

Choe's Auto Center - Auto Repair Near Me - Concord, California

Choe and his team were great. They were very upfront about the work that needed to be done. He was very helpful in assessing my truck and he got it done as quickly as he possibly could, even working after hours. I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

These guys always take care of me whenever im there. Very fast and accurate service. They also always check on my all my fluids and tires. A lot of very good value that i get when i visit. read more

Quick service and cost of repair was very reasonable. Unfortunately, I don't live close to the repair shop, but

Needed a new alternator. Good work and a good price. They work on all types of vehicles. I was done in 4 hours. I recommend these guys!

Few weeks ago, I went out for dinner in Concord area with my friends from Pleasanton. As we were arriving at the restaurant, someone noticed a puddle of water under my car. I called a towing but it was too expensive to get it towed to my area. So we looked up a shop, and Choe's Auto Center came up with best reviews. It was a weekend so everything was closed. We just had our car towed to Choe's and called them on Monday. As they are highly rated shop, their appointments were fully booked. But knowing my situation, the owner got our car fixed in just a day and half staying over time. His understanding and kindness not only saved me time, but saved me financially because I didn't have to tow the car and rent a car for the service. I highly recommend Choe's for their honest diagnostics and understanding. read more

Called this morning and spoke to Steve regarding a leak that I just discovered last night. I was really worried about and with the holidays and the rush, concerned with finding someone who'd be able to look/fix it. I called and Steve said to bring it by and he can take a look. I got there and without hesitation he put my car up on the rack for a closer look and it turns out the gasket wasn't the right one that the last place I took my car to for an oil change 2 months ago. Steve showed me where the leak was coming from and the cover was just soaked from the oil leak. He asked me if I wanted to take it back to whoever did the last oil change and have them take care of it. And I said I won't be going back to Big O (Walnut Creek) and I asked him if he can please take care of it. And he did, luckily it was just the gasket issue and he did an oil change for me, topped off my fluids (washer etc) and checked/put air in my tires. Wow!! I was in and out of there in 40 minutes. He was so kind to squeeze me in to take a look at my car and take care of it. Who does this? And given that tomorrow is the last working day before Christmas too. I appreciate what he did for me today and was so reasonable. I will definitely be going back to get my services done here. It's so convenient and close to home too. My former mechanic is 35 miles away and have been going to see him for my car's needed services and issues for 13 years. I'm so happy to have found Steve (such a nice guy too) and that I was able to take care of this problem today (again can't stress enough that especially being the holidays, no one really has time). It started as a slow leak and leaked more and more, definitively would've gotten worse and the damage much worse. While I was waiting for my car, a woman came by with Christmas cupcakes and she gave them to Steve! How sweet is that. Thank you so much Steve for helping me today. And to his other worker today too that worked on my car. I appreciate it very much. Merry Christmas! read more

I go to Steve and Kim for my oil changes and all other car related issues. Not only are they so knowledgable but they always have a resolution! They are so quick, and they NEVER over charge. The most honest shop in the East Bay. If you want honest, quality work done on your car, come here. read more

I went in here today after have made an appointment earlier in the week. The owner, Steven, is a very nice and honest man. Tells you what you need, no bs, does what is needed, and prices fairly. Today he didn't charge me because it is an issue that is from a part installed from another auto body shop. But he confirmed for me that the issue was with an incorrect part (front air box missing just a single air inlet for a tiny hose) so I need to call that shop next week to let them know. Steven cleared my check engine light as it isn't a major issue which is now a work in progress for me. And he is a kind man having thrown some quality service my way at no charge by cleaning my mass airflow sensor and the areas around it to just be sure the sensor being dirty wasn't the issue and I could focus more on the missing inlet for the air hose being the related part to it all. I came here on a recommendation from a friend who has been going here for years. I will be back when my car needs more in the future :) I recommend them for value, fairness, honesty, good will, good gestures. read more

Most Excellent. My daughter found this Gem. Honest and reliable l now bring all my vehicles to him.

A rare mechanic who doesn't try to sell you services you don't need. No BS, straight to the point of what you need. I went in to get my brakes done and came out with only my brakes done. I'm no professional mechanic, but I know when a shop is trying to sell me on services I don't need. The service is really quick as well and took less time than I anticipated for such a busy shop. Again, it really just depends on the service for your car and his shop is very busy so have some patience, it will benefit you greatly. It's rare to to see such a busy shop not cut corners and still do work in a proper amount of time. The quality of work is also very good and he is an honest mechanic. I've brought numerous family and friends' cars to the shop and the service provided has always been great and nothing less than that. Price is very fair and was in the ball park of the expected amount, give or take a few dollars. You can trust this shop that they won't rip you off which sadly is rare these days. This shop will continue to have my business. read more

Great family owned auto shop that doesn't overcharge/oversell. It was my first time for a oil change and I brought in my own oil/filter and was able to leave in about 30 minutes. Steve was friendly and was able to answer any questions. They get busy right after opening on Saturday so suggest going early. read more

Quick same day service and hard working employees!

I got an oil change from the Toyota dealership and they quoted very high prices. I decided to take their feedback to a local mechanic. This location quoted half of what Toyota quoted. He quoted me over the phone but asked if I can bring it in to confirm the need. His estimate didn't change after seeing the car. I haven't had any issues post visit. I am incredibly happy with his service. read more

Steve is great and prices are very fair. He is an experienced mechanic and work is done timely.

Knowledgeable efficient honest and responsive! Can count on Choe to provide great service and fair prices. Thanks Choe!
