I could not have had a better experience. Alright, maybe this resonates with you. You've heard the tale of being wary of mechanics because the lot of them will charge you up the hoohaa and you pay an arm and a leg, only to come back because your original probably wasn't fixed or if it was, then something else starts going wrong? WELL! As a new girl in town, I was afraid of this exact thing. I did the research, made the calls, compared the numbers, see who passed the vibe check and all that. THIS IS THE PLACE I CHOSE AND I DID NOT REGRET IT. My engine was rumbling like a 8.0 earthquake and my car would jerk and I was afraid I had to have an engine replacement. I took it in to Edgar who is honestly one of the sweetest people. He didn't try to scare me or upsell or any weird tactics here. He actually was giving me advice and letting me know what he would tell his own daughters on being a little more car savvy so that you DO NOT get taken advantage of. Long story short, my silly car just needed an oil change. Edgar also used some oil lubricant something or other and I swear, before moving up to SJ, I have taken my car only to the dealership to get serviced and after one service from Edgar, my car has never ran more smoothly, sounded more soft and feeling a noticeable glide when I drive now. I definitely will be going back and recommend him to everyone. He's genuine, fair, and works quickly. I also didn't have enough cash and he was very understanding, kind, and trusted that I would return to pay him the rest, and he had just met me! That showed his character too. read more

My BMW 528 car was leaking heavily on oils and coolant fluid. The repair was estimated very high from bmw service factory. So i decided to do it outside and found this place online. I got very good service done for all the repairs at very much affordable prices. I really appreciate the work they have done on my car. I recommend this place if you wanted to get service done outside of showrooms. They have also done detailing to my car engine which is a great job. read more

Want to take the time to let you all know about my experience with DNT. Quite honestly found it by accident was originally looking for another mechanic in the area, but it was closed due to the pandemic. In desperate need I noticed that this particular place was open and searched them on yelp. They had few reviews but had a five star rating. So I took the leap of faith and went in and spoke with Edgar. He was friendly and approachable and agreed to take at look at my 2011 535i that was having a coolant problems. I dropped my car off 2 pm and he called me back by 5 with a proposal. It was significantly less than what I had been quoted from the dealership. He gave me his diagnosis of the problem and felt that it seemed very similar to what I was told originally. But At a fraction of the price. My car was ready the next day and it appears to be running great. I feel very lucky to have came across these guys and will most certainly be using them again for tune ups and any other incidentals that may arise (knock on wood). read more

Took my Lexus here and let me start off by saying an honest mechanic is very hard to find these days and let me just say that Edgar and his team are very honest!The work done on my car was excellent, He even showed me what was done along with the old parts that he had to remove before. If you want a honest place with good rates this is where you want to go!Thank you again! read more

Dnt Automotive - My 2009 Lexus LS 460 - Auto Repair Near Me - San Jose, California

I want to give a big shout out to DnT AutoMotive! I previously took my car to two different mechanics. None of those mechanics wanted to take care of the problem on my 545i BMW. So i came across DnT Automotive on Craigslist, and put my trust in them. And they DID NOT disappoint me. They are truly honest with everything. I'm super satisfied on the work they did!! I definitely recommend them as your mechanic. Trustworthy and honestly! Thanks again to these gentleman for taking care of my car and I. They were able to get my car done pretty quick. Had no problem's after. I definitely will be coming back to DnT Automotive in the future!! read more

I have been going here for years for an older vehicle ('93 Toyota) as well as a 2000 F-150 and a 2010 Camry. Work is fast and efficient. The owner is very personable and has been the most honest mechanic I've ever worked with. He's been able to help me with every mechanical and electronic issue my vehicles have had and I've been very grateful for his once-overs before several of my long (2000 mile) trips, through the Sierra Mountains, to ensure the vehicle was in to shape for the journey. On the older vehicle, as many things were breaking down towards the end, he would work to provide a list of essential needs vs. Items that could be postponed 'x' numbers of months, which helped me minimize cost and to budget for future work. I recommend Edgar and staff to all of my friends. read more

I take both of our cars to DNT Automotive. Edgar and his crew do excellent work for an affordable price! Edgar is one of the few mechanics I have ever met who is completely honest about his work. He always treats you fair and our cars have never run better! read more

Just picked the Cadillac up today it is running great. I would recommend him to anyone for jobs small to large. Thanks again guys!! read more

DNT is the best mechanic ever. It looks like a hole in the wall, but don't let the exterior fool you! Edgar is very honest, reliable and best of all ...very FAST. The rates are the very best, and he takes his time to make sure you are completely happy. I moved to San Mateo last year, and I still take my car to him even though the shop is now 30 minutes from my house. He is the type of guy that would change your tire in the rain if he saw you on the highway stranded. Good guy-honest mechanic. period. read more
