Dublin Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - Dublin, California

I went to Dublin Auto care with a check engine light on my 2015 Sienna. I had a diag code and suspected spark plugs needed to be replaced. They gave me a days time. They ended up scaring me about engine mounts falling apart and a wheel controller joint breaking any time. Basically normal wear and tear but they made it sound like emergency repair. They pointed out an oil leak I was aware of and asked them to take care of that. Here is what happened: They took 3 days for spark plugs and $1k Replaced leaking valve cover gasket for $250 When I picked up the car it wouldn't start as they had screwed up the battery terminal and initially lied that they didn't touch the battery terminal. Anyways, I had to replace it myself in the end. After I left within 24 hours my tpms shows low air pressure in the tires but there is actually air in all tires with adequate pressure.i got it checked a few times. Within 7 days I saw a lot of oil in my garage from the car. I didn't get a warning but my oil dip stick showed almost no oil. I had to put in 6 quarts. I don't know what more leaks they have caused. It's a terrible place to go and they are incompetent and dishonest! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Shoutout to Tommy and Luis for taking great care of my car.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tommy especially went above and beyond--he gave me a clear rundown of what was wrong, walked me into the shop to physically show me the issues, and broke down the pricing by the book with no pressure or sketchy upsells.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Communication was excellent the entire time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I told him I'd been anxious driving because of strange noises, and when I got the car back, those noises were completely gone. The turnaround was also impressive--everything was done in under 3 hours. What I really appreciated was the honesty. Tommy let me know what needed to be fixed now and what could wait, and told me to call him when I'm ready so he can order the parts. No fear tactics, no rushing--just straight-up professionalism. Definitely recommend this shop if you want quality work, transparency, and peace of mind. read more

Great Service and prices ok! Been going when needed for smog check and will continue.

DAC is truly a complete Auto Care center. I recently gave my car for three services--Oil & Maintenance, Front Brake Service, and Air Filter Basket replacement. All three were done with great care and attention to detail. I feel DAC can be a better long-term option than even the dealer, as they are highly service-oriented and ensure your car is 100% safe. With DAC, you can be confident about keeping your car in great condition for the long term. read more

Great service! But not surprised, Danny from ACE Auto San Ramon has relocated to Dublin Auto Care and I've been his customer for 10+ years. I was initially referred to him by another single mom, since he was trustworthy and never oversold. 10+ years later and he continues to look out for what is best for his customers! read more

I've been looking for a trustworthy mechanic for a while, and I'm really glad I found Danny at Dublin Auto Care. I'd worked with him previously at ace repairs in San Ramon and I'm glad I found him again. He's honest, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain what's going on without upselling. The shop is clean, the turnaround time was fair, and the work was done right. If you're in the Dublin area and want someone you can actually trust with your car, ask for Danny. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good, honest people here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tommy took the time to show me the old parts after swapping them out, so I could see how worn they were without me even asking. It's great to see a mechanic who goes the extra mile to make customers feel comfortable and taken care of. He even addressed issues that weren't on my list and didn't charge me for them, knowing the car was for my daughter and wanting to ensure it was safe for her. I'll be back again for sure, Dublin Auto Care! read more

Called at 1pm about a possible starter problem on my Honda Accord. I was told to bring and they will do a quick diagnostic.

I would highly recommend Dublin Auto Care, and will return in the future. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I had dealt with the previous owner Art for many years, he was always fair and honest.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was a little hesitant to go back since he was not longer there but, I was pleasantly surprised to receive the same service from the new owner/manager Tommy. read more

Dublin Auto Care truly exceeded my expectations with their outstanding service and communication. Brought my Toyota in because it had some issues and from the moment I walked in, Tommy greeted me warmly and listened attentively as I explained my car issues. Throughout the process, they kept me informed every step of the way, explaining everything clearly and ensuring I was up to date with the progress. Despite being busy, they managed to fix my car in a timely manner without compromising quality. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Dublin Auto Care. Their friendly staff and efficient service make them my go-to auto shop from now on. Have to mention their quote was one of the best after calling around to other shops! Highly recommend! read more

Dublin Auto Care is a great trust worthy shop. I first went to them when I had to get my catalytic converter replaced and they had the best rate / customer service. Starting with the phone call, Miguel was very kind and through. As a person who doesn't know much about auto repair, I really appreciate how he helped me to clearly understand what's going on with my car in an easy and respectful way. Not only that, he went out of his way to go pick up one of the parts from the dealership himself when there was a delivery issue during the repair. ..And then when I brought my car back in for a separate issue, Miguel took a look at the problem and taught me a safe / low cost DIY solution instead of suggesting a much more expensive job that was possible. Compared to the careless and bad services I experienced from the big name brand body shop I used to take my car to, Dublin Auto Care is a real gem of a shop that I feel can trust with any job. read more

Excellent customer service!!! Tommy is the best.. While on vacation our car started to make a noise driving through Dublin, search for a place for repair, we stopped at Dublin Auto Care, he took care of us right away, fixed our car very quickly so we could continue on our way. Thank you, thank you!!! Ever in need of great customer service, honesty and quality work, this is the place. read more

One of the most terrible shops I have been to. I told the owner exactly what part I needed, and he insisted I needed the more expensive one. I know cars, I'm well aware why the issue was arising and exactly what needed to happen for it to be resolved. He told me I was a "lying moron" and that my story was fake. I will not be returning to this shop, awful service, in it for the money. read more

Definitely found my new go-to mechanic. Art is amazing. I called him on a Friday after discovering that I had an oil leak and made arrangements to bring it in the following week. I dropped off the car later than scheduled, and he was still able to diagnose the issues and get back to me with an estimate. There were several issues that he brought to my attention (not surprising with almost 250k miles on my car) most notably an oil and coolant leak, as well as needing new brakes. I needed my car and was unable to leave it at the time, so he prioritized the brakes (thank you!) and we scheduled the other work to be completed a few days later. I didn't realize how bad my brakes were until they had been replaced and I'm so thankful he was able to do it so quickly. My car is running smoothly (and leak free!) and I'm wishing I would have found him sooner. Thank you Art for keeping me, and my car, safe on the road! Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an awesome, quality mechanic. read more

Great dude. Selflessly helping me with some questions and giving me positive advice. Even without knowing if I'll stop by, he patiently answered all my questions. Genuine awesome guy. Thank you sir! read more

I brought my 2006 Mini Cooper here at Funk's Auto Works. Art from Funk's Auto Works was the kindest and very honest. He gave me every detail about what needed to get done. Him and his team fixed my car and I'm very thankful. Will definitely come back here for the regular oil change and maintenance. Thank you again to Funk's Auto Works. read more

Great auto service!!! New to the area - I researched and researched and found that this company had a long standing clientele that loves what they do. I have since come and got a full assessment of my Porsche 911 Carrera 4S...and loved the response + price. I also appreciated that when I had additional concerns - I could call in and get verbal advisement. I recommend this company to all. No question - a safe, trustworthy and reliable service company. read more

BEWARE!! This shop is a nightmare. Started off by calling in to set an appointment for a Volkswagen, the owner basically scoffed over the phone and reluctantly says he'll take a look. Already off to a bad start if you ask me. I then go to my appointment and the owner basically acts like I am not even there and has me wait on him for over 30 MINUTES, while he was in the back. Mind you I could hear him chatting with other employees AND after he saw me enter the shop. After this I could not in good conscience let this unprofessional, rude, shop work on my car. Stay away if you are looking for a friendly, and well known shop this is not the place to visit read more

I recently moved to the Dublin area, and found myself with some mechanical issues with my truck. A good mechanic is hard to find, so I called around to about 6 or 7 shops in the area and explained my situation. Every shop advised that It would cost me $100-$150 just to figure out what the issue with my vehicle is. I stumbled across Funk's Auto Works on yahoo, and it had good reviews so I gave them a call. Art at Funk's was the only shop that told me to bring the car down and he would take a look at it, and was willing to work with me. He is very professional, reasonably priced, does good work, and by far one of the most honest mechanics I have dealt with. He was able to pin point the issues, and also referred to the dealer for a recall. All done without breaking my back on pricing. Like I said, a good mechanic is hard to find. I was lucky and found one in the area the first time around. I have no need to look else where. I highly recommend Funks, and I will be referring everyone I know here. read more

Finding a good auto mechanic is a pain. In this industry, trust is the important value customers need. Trust that you will not get screwed over; trust that you will be charged a fair price; trust that they will actually fix your car's problem. For 10 years while living in LA, I trusted my Nissan Maxima with Beck's Auto in Pasadena. He was the best when it came to Nissan's and other foreign cars. Now living in Dublin, I needed the same for my 2003 Honda Accord and my wife's 2004 BMW 325i. About 2 years ago, I found Funk's after trying several different mechanics, including dealerships and "specialists." Art and his team are the best in the area - hands down. They are completely transparent when it comes to your cars' issues (I've had a radiator replaced on the beemer and recently, the A/C compressor in my honda). I've also had minor things done like replacing a plastic screw in the wheel well of my honda, and replacing a headlight. Incidentally, they noticed my high-mounted brake light was out, so they popped in a new one. Bottom line: I have found my trusted Bay Area mechanic for many years to come. read more

What an incredible automotive repair shop! I recently moved to the Dublin area and I've been looking for a mechanic that is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and that provides quality work at a reasonable price. Based on my personal experience and lengthy conversations with these guys, I would not go anywhere else. Art and the rest of the team are truly amazing and they really care about the work they do to the finest details. Not only that, they go above and beyond the scope of work to make sure that you are satisfied. I truly felt that Art and the team gave me the white glove treatment on my 1987 BMW 325I. Prior to finding Funks/Edge, I called a few other shops for estimates and they were just plain silly based on the scope of work. Luckily, I found Funks/Edge online and was pleasantly surprised to see all the amazing reviews, so I gave Art a call. Let me tell you that this was a game changer! First of all, Art and I must have spoken for at least ~30-45 min and I knew I was in good hands. I explained to him what I wanted to do and because of his extensive knowledge, he was quick to point out a few other maintenance items that I should consider since they would be working in that general area. The very next day, Art gave me a quote as promised and it was very reasonable and competitive. To be honest, pricing is very important, but to me, it's pointless if the work being done or the people you're working with can't be trusted. Art and his team are exceptions in every way possible. The work was finished on time and Art's team went above and beyond in a few areas. For one, they found a few covers that were originally missing and also informed me of some questionable work that was previously done. Secondly, I've had a weird clutch issue and their team went above and beyond with trying to diagnose it and also bled the system to rule out hydraulics at no charge (at least an hour right there!). Thirdly, Art stayed in constant communication with me through the entire process. There's plenty more, but let's just say that I was very impressed! To sum this up, I'm an automotive enthusiast and I'm very particular when it comes to having others work on my vehicle. I had the most amazing experience and I will keep coming back to them. If you need work done on your car, skip the other shops. I highly recommend Art, Ryan and the rest of the team at Funks/Edge for any of your automotive repair needs! -Nick read more

The owner Art is one of the nicest guys you could meet. I always feel like my car is in great hands at his shop. Every problem or regular maintenance I have needed has been handled with the best of care. I have been taking my car to him for the past 6 years. If you are looking for a great shop that isn't going to screw you, this is the place to go. read more

Dublin Auto Care - Funks front and back - Auto Repair Near Me - Dublin, California

Art was great... a good, honest, nice mechanic. He and his crew were knowledgeable, polite and charged a fair price for their work. I was referred to them by two different sources and they proved to be right when they said he took care of business. He got the job done and fixed the problem I was having with my vehicle (after the dealer could not even diagnose the problem) I believe they focus on foreign cars (BMW, Lexus, etc) but I brought my GM SUV in and they was able to fix the problem I was having. I'm sure for the basics, they can work on any vehicle. I almost gave 4 stars just because the work took a little longer than originally expected and they did not communicate that to me right away (I had to call a few times to check status). However, when I stopped by and realized they had truly been swamped all week, I understood why there was a delay in getting status (I have been there myself, in my line of work). I highly recommend Art Funk and his crew for your auto maintenance/repair needs! read more

I am usually rather leery of car repair shops, however no need to worry when using Funk's Auto Works! We have been bringing our cars to Funk's for many years and are always appreciative of his honest and helpful service. The shop is knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy. While they do specialize in European cars, they have been more than happy to work on my husbands VW as well as my Ford. read more

The gold standard in auto maintenance and repair. I have had my cars into Art's shop about 6 times over the past 5 years and every time he has provided fast, expert service at a fair price. I hope that he does not retire before I stop driving cars. read more

I cannot say enough how professional and awesome the service was at Funk's! I'm new to the mini Cooper world, and I found my new mechanic. Thanks again Art , and I can't thank you enough!! read more

I have had the pleasure of doing business with Art for approximately 13 years. Every time I have gone to Art for any repairs or maintenance he has been wonderful to deal with, and always done a great job on what ever car I bring to him. Anyone looking for a good mechanic you can trust should give Art a try, you will be happy you did. thanks for your great care and service. read more

This is the best shop in the area, Art has always worked on our BMW's. Even though we now live in Elk Grove, we make the drive to the shop to have work done. My wife Works for East Bay BMW, but this is our service center. The level of workmanship and attention to detail is far Superior to the dealer. They are highly trained and treat their customers cars like their own. It is a pleasure to give Art and his team 5 stars. Keep up the great work! Manny Costa Elk Grove Ca. read more

I took my BMW to Art Approximately 2 months ago. For the Normal BMW valve gasket leak to get the gaskets replaced. Art knows BMW's as this was my first time at his repair shop and talking with him. He did a better job than the BMW dealership does. And about 25 % less. If you have a BMW 325 or 328i after the warranty runs you gonna need a DAD with a big bank account or a Good Mechanic you can trust. I recommend Art very highly. He has the tools and computer to get you going again. BMW Stands for BUY MORE WARRANTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ADD AN I. FOR YOU IDIOT !!!!!!! (Happy riding) read more

Had my Honda for oil leak and after multiple revisits they fixed the oil leak problem but did a bad job reinstall the power steering reservoir, causing it to spill oil out. No response even after multiple phone calls. Seems like bot busy and work on big ticket items. Will try another time and report back. Updated 30jan2016 Gave the go ahead to replace the power steering pump; since that started leaking . After this replacement, car makes hissing noise when turning the steering and goes bad when making turns. It was pretty quite before and after multiple test drives with mechanic decided to come back if problem persist. Well, looks like it has to go back again. Hope the second time would fix the issue as always. Will see how that goes. Owner was a Pleasonton guy to work with. read more

I took my car over to Art after having another mechanic work on my car. Funk's is a team of professionals who care about your car's well-being. They truly take the time to make sure your car is running smoothly. They were kind enough to drop me off at work while they worked on my car. They kept in constant communication on the status of my car and notified me of the work needed on my car. The prices were fair and the team was phenomenal. I wound recommend them to friends and would take my car there anyday. read more

Someone recommended Funk in my community newsletter to recommend its service, which also offers 50% off labor coupon. I went to Funk to replace brakes for my Toyota car. But it never worked properly even after I drove back to its shop 3 times. They can't fix it and offer me some discount for next brake service. Oh, the 50% discount, the owner says regular hourly charge is $200, so I paid $100/hour with the coupon (which is just same even higher than other car mechanics in my area *WITHOUT* any discount) So I end up: - paid regular price - got very bad service - got very bad parts (it completely tore down after 30K miles) Later I got my car brakes changed in another shop in Fremont, the brakes work perfectly, and even cost $40 less than Funk's funky discounts. read more

I have used Art Funk's services for 5 years now and have only the highest praise for him and his team! Both of my BMWs and an Audi will never see the dealer again. Most recently (and what prompted this review): just prior to the end of a BMW warranty I brought my 535Xit sport wagon to the dealer for their final warranty service - a "free" service that cost $400 - and they recommended a laundry list of front end work that would have cost a small fortune. I told them directly that I would bring it to Funk's, and Art did the work for probably half the dealer cost! I completely trust Art and recommend him without reservation. How often do you hear that about any service provider, let alone a mechanic? read more

We've been taking our cars to Art for over ten years. He's always been more than fair and straight forward with us about what we need to do to maintain and stay ahead of repairs with our various cars -- Toyotas, Mazdas, and Volvos. These guys take good care of you and your car. I recommend Funk's Auto Works highly. read more

Needed pre-sale check of a used Volvo S60 I was considering, and Funk's did an excellent job at a very good price. The detailed report exhibited clear Volvo experience and expertise, and was very thorough, pinpointing things both good and bad. I know Volvos well, and I was impressed. Highly recommended. read more

I've been taking my cars to Funks for over 20 years. And I don't write reviews often. You can see I recently reviewed Honda of Oakland as it was time for a new car. In spite of valiant efforts for 150,000 miles on a very sketchy '01 Sebring, (we bought it new to be patriotic after 9/11) it finally seized. Art has had the not-so-enviable of tasks in keeping my three kids' used (I refuse to buy a new Beamer for a high schooler!) cars running. I know he and his master mechanic Louis would rather work on MBZs, Porsches and nice Volvos, which according to yelp he does quite well at, but our 96 Volvo 850, 96 Sebring and 95 300 CE have served us well. The 850 recently hit 200,000! He even gets firm with us when the tires are almost out of life....Thank you Funk's European for keeping our jalopies running and safe. read more
