I recently took my car in for a tire rotation and had a great overall experience with this shop. I…read morecalled ahead, and they were able to get me in the same day at a very reasonable price. I dropped the car off, and they completed the tire rotation efficiently. The next day I was alarmed when a system error and check engine light came on. Naturally, I was worried it might be related to the tire rotation service I just had. I called the shop and explained my concerns. They were very responsive and reassuring, they told me to bring the car back in, and if it was related to the tire rotation, they would take care of it under their warranty with no issues. I stopped by their shop, and their team performed a full system check. They identified something with the turbo that wasn't related to the tire rotation service, but they reset the system at no charge. (The check engine light is off for now). This shop truly stands behind their work. They are honest, professional, and customer-focused. It was a pleasure working with them, and I will definitely be bringing my car back for any future service needs. Highly recommend!

An engine light problem that hey spent a long time working on and replacing parts that probably were not necessary and they never fixed the problem. I complained and got angry and they said to me never come back to them. I took the vehicle to another shop and they fixed it and said I should ask for money back. Because they fixed it quickly. I would not recommend them, they are not the best despite all the certificates and nice shop.

Steve really knows his line of work and how to do things right for his customers. He is my friend,…read morebut he didn't, couldn't and wouldn't pay me for writing this review. He knows, and the rest of my friends know, it's 100% honest when it comes from me. First thing - I'm done paying the dealer for servicing my car. It started out with buying a brand new car after too many problems with the prior car (that could have been avoided through proper selection of mechanics). But, after getting second opinions from other mechanics, the dealer was just taking me for a ride. So enter a small arsenal of local independent (and not so local as I live in Sacramento) mechanics who help me maintain my car. Steve's rates are very reasonable. He's taken care of many of our motorcycling friends' import and domestic cars and light duty trucks. His shop's policy is to always leave the customer's vehicle in better and cleaner condition than when it came in, and to do the job right. I came in recently to have an oil change done and a minor issue checked out. One problem I had was with poor headlight function. Steve aimed the lamps (I didn't know that could be done with these modern - post 1960s auto lights) and did a quick buff job on the plastic lenses. POOF! There was light on my way back over the hill that night! Another tip Steve gave me was regarding tire pressure. Honda suggests 30 psi as stated on the driver's door frame. However, my car doesn't have a sensor for tire pressure, so Steve let me know I could get better mileage and still have great handling if I upped the psi to 34. I checked the tires and they state their max pressure is 50, so I gave it a go. Wow, much better handling than I would have expected. I'm eager to find out if my mileage improved from 23-26 to something closer to 26-29 mpg. We'll see and I'll update you! If you're looking for a trustworthy shop that won't take your wallet for a ride, visit Steve @ Jim Ludy's Motech. You can thank me later!

Very professional and up front about cost, for a '95 Honda Accord it was only $59. It took 10-15 minutes from when I walked in to when I drove out. They did a free pre-cooked to make sure it would pass without charging. I would definitely recommend to everyone and come back. Only word of advice is that the shop is actually down on May not Soquel so don't circle around looking for it right on Soquel.

I've almost been hit multiple times, have seen other cars be almost hit by those trying to get to Duncan's. They also park the cars in a way that blocks the sidewalk. This is dangerous during the times when middle schoolers are walking and riding bikes past Blake. You can't see them coming! Duncan's doesn't have much control over how their customers drive, but they can give them better directions AND instruct their employees to not use Blake like their own personal entrance.

I went to the nearby cafe and met another customer there and had a great chat that made the time pass quickly. I'll be sending others (and myself) to Bobby's in the future. The lady I had breakfast with said she was a long time customer and wouldn't take her car anywhere else. We joked that old cars you switch the insurance away from comprehensive to roadside assistance as the years go on. She said anytime she has the big car problems she just gets it towed over the Bobby's! Sounds good to me!

The same thing was told to my husband years ago with another vehicle with completely different problems.
