Been a client of this business for years. Watched the sons mature from students into men that now help out with the repairs along with others in the family. Always helpful, courteous and professional and they get the work done on time. It's wonderful because I only have one car and when something goes wrong, I feel panicked! Great team. read more

I was recommended by my father in law since he's done business here for years on all his cars and decided to bring one of my vehicles to get checked out/repaired! The same day I I had my car towed in they ran diagnostic already and found the problem! Next day they ordered the part and got us right back on the road. I'll for sure be bringing my cars back here. Very trustworthy and honest! read more

Fast, reasonable, kind and honest. For the last few years they have been taking care of my now 10 year old cars. Easy to get in, they are honest & price is fair. read more

Have had family come here for years now when I am too busy to look after their cars. But recently, they asked me to double-check their diagnosis after something seemed off. Said the car needed new brakes and tires all around. Brakes were new and very thick, rotors were the same and verified by thickness. Tires were at 4mm, and not needed to be replaced yet. Also found on the car that they impacted the engine drain plug, I could not take it off even with a 1/2" ratchet. They do work for cheap, but you need to know what work it needs read more

My favorite place to take my car they do every service excellent. I love the family and they're really great with my car every single time.

We've been coming to George's for years now. We thought our 20 year old VW Beetle was on its last leg with the check engine light and the inconsistent fueling problem. Lloyd kept the car for a week and test drove it and determined that it was a breather hose leaking and was able to save the bug for $200. We are happy and would not hesitate to take our vehicles to George's. read more

My coworker recommended George's Automotive and he and his family is the best! Honest, reasonable priced and friendly. Thank you for your amazing service read more

I've been going to George's for about 4 years now and I'm never disappointed. Great customer service and communication. Transparent about prices and estimation on time. I will continue to go here! read more

Recommended by our daughter in law over ten years ago, we have been very satisfied with the excellent service, reliable work and quick turnaround by Lloyd and his Team. read more

Dependable and consistent. Trustworthy and Honest. I was told by the dealer that my car needed a new alternator and a catalytic converter. This would have cost me thousands. For a second opinion, I took my 2010 Honda Pilot to George's Automotive and the problem was solved for a fraction of the costs. Here's the thing, they could have easily just quoted me a lower rate and I would have been okay. But, instead, they found the true problem and educated me in the issue that is actually common with these cars. Thank you Lloyd read more

This shop is very thorough and honest family owned business would recommend to everyone

Still our go-to car mechanic for our BMW. Now it's my son (next generation) who is a loyal customer. Loy has been taking care of our 650 since the day it run out of warranty until now that I've given it to my son. Very fair in pricing but sometimes they get so busy so you should make sure to make an appointment or discuss your situation with them. I wish they can also do alignment for our newly added Tesla, maybe in the future, can't wait. Highly recommended for any type of car. read more

All I can say is WOW! What impeccable service I received today. I called several places and all were unable to take me in same day. The lady I spoke to in George's Automotive service not only was able to understand my issue (I don't know car lingo) but sensing my desperation allowed me to come in right away. I was out of the shop in less than 10 minutes. They are honest, hard working, and kind people. Please go to them for your auto needs. read more

Kinda sleazy with subpar people skills but the work is good quality. I'm sure service is better with a rapport

Car was broken into. I was referred there by my parents because my moms door lock had been repaired there before but when I went, no one looked at my car and was told to go elsewhere!? Like huh? Then after my father called then they said for me to bring the car in!!????!!? RIDICULOUS!!! There's no reason for you to have to jump through hoops even for a CONSULT. This is the SECOND time I'd been turned away by them even after they've fixed one of my personal cars prior... dont know what the vendetta is but i wouldn't ever go here again or recommend! Just find a different mechanic! read more

Update: I don't know how they do it. The place is packed but I got my alternator changed and back on the road the same day. I won't miss any work. read more

I've been coming to see Lloyd for years and I just recently had my brakes and coolant system replaced and I am 100% satisfied at the quality of work by Lloyd and his team. 2 thumbs up and keep up the great work! read more

My boyfriend had the same experience as everyone else giving it a 1 Star. They said they ordered a part and that's why he couldn't get his car back but instead fast forward more than 2 WEEKS LATER his car still hadn't gotten any work done on it. Where was this part LLOYD ordered? He said the car hadn't gotten work done they couldn't figure out the issue. Then why did you tell us you ordered a part you didn't for an issue you couldn't figure out? A bunch of mechanics took more than two weeks to not figure out why oil is leaking? The first time my bf had car troubles my uncle who is a mechanic figured out that the battery Lloyd installed was bad. Lloyd must've known as well because when my bf called he said bring it back and he'll switch it no cost. We brought it back switched it he didn't test the battery we brought back and didn't say anything leading me to believe it was a used or bad battery and he knew it. Today we called and said were picking up the car. People can't not have a car for WEEKS at a time and have work and do things. We come in and his hood is up and not ready for pick up. Then they say they have to work on it before they can give us the car. This is why we called you in advance. These guys just want to scam you. His family used to bring their cars here, dozens of people but not anymore because were damn sure telling everybody how shitty this place is. DONT COME HERE! Their mechanics use your own cars to drive around in that's why they keep them for weeks and why many reviews say they found FOOD AND JUICE STAINS in their cars. It's a free fucking rental on you. They say they ordered a part so you'll wait and they can use your car longer. I'm going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or BBB, because this is a horribly run business. read more

My dad and I have been going to here since I could remember. We're always well taken care of and our cars last us 20 years +.

I had the worst experience with this place. I took my truck in to get the transmission replaced/rebuilt and he kept it for over THREE MONTHS! The owner kept promising me, "Next week..." At about two months, I was so upset I went in and demanded my truck. He said that I can take it but "...it's not ready. It still sticks when shifting so I need to adjust some things." He told me to go ahead and take it for a test drive to see what he's talking about. I did and the gear shifter did stick. Fine, but why were there food wrappers and empty juice boxes in my car?! There was juice spilled all over my passenger side floor mat! He said he had been taking the car home to test it and the juice boxes were from his kid who he had to drop off at school. What?! I was so pissed but, as always with mechanics (most), I was at their mercy. I had to keep waiting. Like I said, after more than THREE MONTHS, I got my truck back. I thought he would give me a huge discount since he had my truck for so long--I mean, car rentals are at the very least $25 a day and he was driving mine around for free, but he said, "I can't give you a discount. I can give you a $100 credit towards oil changes." Yeah right, like I would leave a vehicle with this guy again. I wouldn't even trust him with my bicycle. I'm not sure how he got such a high rating here on Yelp, but it makes me a little suspicious of the other reviews. I would not bring your vehicle here. If you do, make sure to confirm with him when the work will be finished. I would get it in writing. Good luck. read more

It's hard to find a trustworthy and affordable mechanic. Lloyd does great work that you can trust at fair prices.

I always have good service with Lloyd the owner. He tells you the truth about your car. I love to see how he has the family working with him and his wife is very helpful! Nice to have a female to "Help" us ladies keep our cars in good shape and good advice. read more

Took my car in for a smog and A/C recharge! They offered me very great pricing and told me it would be done within 2 hours because of the amount of cars they had in at the time. I spoke with Llyod and Adam who works there and they were just asking me about my Subaru WRX. apparently adam drives the same car and we were just chattin it up for a bit. Very friendly people and definitely knowledgeable on all aspects. I ended up just walking around the neighborhood and got a call after an hour to say that my car was finished. THATS FAST! Definitely coming here again in the future for all my auto needs! I love private shops and they definitely do a good job. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! read more

It's been decades since duct tape, baling wire and used pantyhose was the my repair kit for the old Ford truck. Now, as an octogenarian with a fussy Volt, I actually needed someone to replace the bulb in my left front light. The Chevrolet dealership had just charged me almost $300 to do wiper blades (and three trips to get it done) so I stopped by George's with my bulb problem. They quickly ascertained it wasn't a bulb--they would work my Volt in. Two hours later, I had the car back, a funny story about a mouse who ate through wires, a new bulb (!) and a bill for $98. Fabulous! What is not to like about my new Volt Doctor--George's Automotive Services? Kathy Chambers read more

Loyd is honest and reliable. Happy I found this service station

George automotive is located in not the best part of san leandro. But just like food the best place is always not where you expect right? i was recommend by a friend to get my maintenance on my beat up daily driver honda since it needed a whole bunch of stuff. I called many other shops beside this one to ask for quotes and expected time to get everything complete. Lloyd picked up the phone when I call and was very helpful explaining what i should get with the service I wanted and what can hold off because its not really needed. too tell you the truth i'm clueless about honda, I assume there similar to toyota or lexus since those are the vehicle i work with all the time. Lloyd was able to get me the best price around the area and also the shortest amount of time! heck yea going there right away. Meet Lloyd and he was friendly enough to actually show me what we were talking about over the phone. I was able to meet the technican also that was working on my vehicle. His name was Adam, very funny and knowledgeable guy. He is also very fast!!! I was expecting at least a whole day or two if not to get this big service done, but i got a call before end of the night saying my vehicle is ready for pick up. boy was i excited went down and I was able to talk to the technician Adam and he went through everything he did and what he thinks of it and what i should probably look into next and what to hold off from his experiences with these car. it was fixed first time!! biggest plus!! thanks guys read more

When my check engine light came on I thought it was the end of Lexi-I was preparing for burial when someone turned me on to George's Auto and Lloyd....Long story short within 24hrs and less than 300.00 out of pocket for everything (Lexi isn't a cheap B'tch to maintain so this was like pennies) I was on the road again-all lights out. That was over 6mos ago and we are still rolling, no problems, no worries. Lloyd, is knowledgeable, honest and friendly a great combo to have in a mechanic. read more

Lloyd is the best mechanic I've worked with in the bay. Always more than fair, and never tries to upsell you on anything you don't need. He's saved my 2005 Civic more than a handful of times, including once when I had it towed to his shop. read more

Lloyd is always fair and his service is wonderful. I have been taking my car to him since 2012 and I'm terrible when maintenance. He always reminds me when to bring my car in and what needs to be fixed now, what can wait and about how much it will cost so I can be prepared financially. Thank you for taking such good care of my car. I appreciate it. read more

My dad loves this place and convinced me to take my car here. We live in Antioch so I really wasn't trying to drive all the way here and back home ... but all brakes and everything else that needed work got done all in one day and for more than a reasonable price. Lloyd didn't talk much but he was real chill & took the time to check everything out. He had it run for awhile to make sure everything is legit and test drove it before I took my car back home. I'll be taking my car here from here on out. You get what you paid for plus more. read more

Many years of working with Loid. Any time I bring my automobile to him, I considered fixed. Fast return, acurate diagnosis, he is very consistent. I will recommend him to any of my friends and family, Intact I do! I wish I could give him more stars!!! read more

I've been going to Lloyd for many years as well as my family. Lloyd is a super honest mechanic & he will not sugar coat you at all. He will tell you the truth if you really need to replace something or perhaps it can wait for a little bit. I really appreciate that he would go above and beyond even if I needed a ride to Bart station to and from. They will keep me update about my car as well as the ETA when it will be done. I highly recommend Lloyd as a well trusted mechanic. read more

My grandpa told my mom about this place years ago and now she won't go anywhere else. When I got my first car I started bringing it here as well. Fast forward 5 years and 3 cars later and this is still the only place I trust. Very honest people, reasonable pricing & great work done. Thank you so much to Lloyd and his team for always taking care of my cars. You rock! read more

Took my 2010 Chevy Silverado to get basic oil change and tire rotation if needed. I waited there and the work was done in a timely manner. I was told I should think about getting new tires because the tread is wearing down (original tires when I bought the truck 8 years ago). I said sounds good and I asked how did the brakes look. I was told they look good and doesn't need any work. The funny about this when I took the same truck for an oil change at the Chevy dealership on Davis St 5000 miles ago and I was told I really need my brakes done. Seems like Dailey's Chevy wanted to hit my wallet. I will be bringing my truck for future service to George's Auto...good honest service!!! read more

I asked the owner if I can borrow his snap ring pliers just for 5 seconds and basically refused a helpless dude. Luckily my house was somewhat nearby and just walked there myself. Asshole move to refuse someone when snap ring pliers are dirt cheap Went here before for my oil changes. While it was decent service, it was good enough. So fast forward 1 year later, got a new car and installed a bov but the snap ring came off and I was a block away from this shop. read more

Lloyd is a great guy. His shop is cheap, quick, helpful, and his wife (who works in the office) is nice, too. The only issue with the place is their waiting area, which could stand some improvement--no wifi, smells like motor oil, and probably hasn't been cleaned since before the place was owned by George (whoever he was.) But in general, I like Lloyd and keep coming back. read more
