Like most, I don't post reviews routinely. But I must say, Hayward S&A Repair deserves every star…read moreand then some. I'm no spring chicken and in all my years, the crew at this tiny little shop are truly the best. They're the only ones that I trust 100% with my car and that I trust 100% are providing honest recommendations. My car is 14 years old and after one visit here a couple of weeks ago, it's driving better than it has in years. They went above and beyond to ensure my vehicle performs at it's best. They're a one stop mechanic that handles all your basic automative needs. Very relieved to have found these folks. Let's keep them in business for years to come.

Honest, hardworking and efficient service, had a tire puncture patched, can't recommend them…read moreenough! On the night before a road trip, I discovered a tire in my car losing air, the culprit being a nail lodged in. Ace auto repair and tire was the only shop open at 7 in the morning, I walked in without an appointment at 7:30. They removed the nail, patched up the tire and completed the work in an hours time! When I asked them about payment for the service, they refused to charge me for the repair. While waiting in the shop for the repair, I witnessed a bunch of regulars bringing in their vehicles for different kinds of issues. The trust and comfort they had with this shop was something that has been built on with years of excellent service. I've been to other tire shops where I've been overcharged for similar situations because I needed help quickly. Ace auto repair and tire is a refreshing change from those experiences and definitely have me as a long term customer for the future!

Had a huge repair job for my 2000 HONDA Civic just completed here. This place is AAA certified. The…read morevehicle was smoking from the engine broke down while traveling to Concord/ Lafayette luckily we made I off the highway and to a side street under the 24 freeway. The AAA tow truck dropped it off here and they took care of the rest. Communication , great transparency, and up to date info on what was needed was readily available. Contact info of the advisors was existent too. From beginning of the labor , they take many pics of the under carriage of your vehicle the engines problems and everything you can imagine to see by photos what's exactly happened to your vehicle. The mechanics keep you updated on the pricing and the authorizing and decking of particular jobs recommended and optional jobs. There is no upselling or making you do work you don't want done . Antonio is great and easy to talk to and approachable . He explains everything in the printed paperwork they give you as the work moves forward. You can authorize the jobs from the text links it's so simple. You can pay by that link or you can also come in and pay inside with their credit card machine. The shop is clean , modern has a waiting area with cell phone chargers and a tv. Behind the front counter you can see the shop thru the large windows. Even though the repair job for my civic was substantial, I didn't feel like I got ripped off or anything . The good reviews speak for themselves. As Antonio say a frequently, it's better than car payment s! In addition to the photo documentation they also provide short videos of what's going on with commentary and all work is dissected into informative paragraphs in plain simple English in the non mechanic regular person can even understand. Keep up the good work Ace Auto Repair & Tire. San Ramon is very lucky to have you in town.

Let's face it: whenever an unexpected car repair comes up, we all hold our breath wondering how…read moremuch our bank account is going to shrink. Most of us like to poke our heads under the hood and pretend we know what's going on, but we usually don't. The next logical step is a repair shop, and many people default to the dealership because they think they can trust them more. In my experience, that's a mistake--dealerships often touch ten things, fix one, and charge you for everything. Luckily, I found Rich and his team. I recently bought a newer car with all the bells and whistles, and I was braced for a huge bill. Rich was incredibly professional, polite, and straightforward. I was actually in shock; he takes the time to educate you on the repair rather than just grabbing your keys and telling you he'll text you later. The estimate was a pleasant surprise, and better yet, there were no hidden fees at the end. The amount he quoted was exactly what I paid. They were on time, efficient, and had me back on the road in no time. It is such a relief to find this kind of service these days. It's nice to know you don't have to pull out a platinum card for a simple repair or an oil change. All the 5-star reviews you see here are 100% true. One quick tip: the shop can be a little tricky to find the first time, but trust your GPS! It will get you there, even if the turn looks a bit hidden. You cannot go wrong with this team!

Incredibly responsive, honest, transparent, and trustworthy people and service!…read more Whether it's for an oil change or a major service, the team here gets the job done with speed, efficiency, and high quality. They also call promptly to provide updates and are up front about their recommendations. I just had my 90k service completed and they provided a clear breakdown of what's highly recommended to fix and why vs. others that need monitoring. Love that they sent the report via text so I could take some time to review and discuss with my husband. I also think the price is fair (checked with AI and it always fits the range for the service). Special thanks to Scott for staying late so I could pick my car up before the weekend! Appreciate you!! Highly recommend. P.S. location is so convenient, too. Got a car wash right next door (excellent btw), a tire shop on the other side (for those darn nails), and Costco gas down the street!

I highly recommend AutoTech in San Ramon for anyone looking for car repair. Lauren answered my call…read morewhen I reached out and kindly offered to take a look at my car first to estimate the diagnostic cost. They scanned my 2010 Prius car at no charge and identified the issues. There would only be a fee if further diagnosis or repairs were needed. The initial scan was very helpful and allowed me to contact the battery company for my Prius battery pack, which is still under warranty. AutoTech is a great place to get an estimate, and Lauren is very responsive. I had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend this shop as an alternative to dealership service.

Justin diagnosed the issue right away without charging me a dime for the diagnosis, something you rarely see these days. I was able to easily set up an appointment, and he completed all the work quickly and efficiently in a timely manner. The pricing was very competitive, and the quality of work was excellent. Justin is an honest, straightforward guy who genuinely wants to do right by his customers. In a world where so many auto shops seem focused on upselling and ripping people off, it's refreshing to find a trustworthy mechanic like him. Thank you, Justin, for the great service and peace of mind! I'll definitely be back for all my future car needs

Oscar is the reason I came…read morehere, I actually followed him from another location because I trust his work and his integrity. They diagnosed my 21 year old Toyota Camry with over 300,000 miles and provided a complete, detailed list of everything that needed attention. What I appreciated most was that Oscar took the time to narrow it down to what was truly necessary to make the car safe, as if it were his own vehicle. No pressure, no upselling, just honest guidance. The estimate was clear and detailed, and the pricing was very competitive. The customer service was exceptional from start to finish. More than anything, DAC earned my trust, which is rare in this industry.... Why I follow Oscar!!! If you're looking for transparency, fair pricing, and people who genuinely care, this is the place to go. THANK YOU Oscar and team!!!

AVOID DANVILLE AUTO CENTER AT ALL COSTS…read more I don't usually leave reviews, but what happened here was so outrageous that people deserve to know. My girlfriend brought her car here after it died while parking. She told them up front it was likely the battery (which they had just replaced), the alternator, or a loose wire. Pretty straightforward, right? Wrong. From there, it was a nightmare: * They refused to return her calls. She was the actual owner of the car, yet they completely ignored her and would only speak to me. * They dragged the repair out over three full days while dodging updates. * When they finally claimed it was just a loose wire, they quoted us over $500, apparently because they charge $250/hr just to "diagnose." * When we picked the car up, the passenger side window no longer worked, even though it was fine before. And the worst part? When we confronted Shawn (the owner) about all of this, he laughed in our faces, interrupted us, and treated us like we were the problem. When my girlfriend left, they actually called her a "f**ing b****." I confronted Shawn, and he admitted it--but said he was talking about her and not me. As if that somehow makes it okay. This wasn't just bad service. This was open disrespect. The way they dismissed and insulted my girlfriend made it clear they were trying to take advantage of her because she's a woman. If you value your money, your car, or even just basic human decency, stay far, far away from Danville Auto Center.
