My youngest is 400 miles away and I am so grateful we found Jason's on Yelp. I called the shop after AAA said the car needs the positive battery cable replaced, and spoke with Tyler. He kindly gave me his cell number so we could text him pictures. After looking at them, he said he needed to see it in person, and that it would be free to diagnose. They were busy but he squeezed the diagnosis in today. After looking at it, he said the cable is fine, there was just some corrosion on the battery. He helped to clean it without even charging! This gives me peace of mind knowing the shop is just around the corner, if my kid has any other car troubles. I cannot thank Tyler enough for being so kind, honest, and helpful. You have gained a customer today! read more

Jason's Auto Service - Old Trusty still runs, just needed some TLC - Auto Repair Near Me - Oakland, California

Great shop near my office (convenient location) Last Thursday morning , the radiator on my Mazda started leaking. I really wanted to get it fixed before the weekend. My usual shop was too backed up to take me as a walk- in. I called Tyler to explain my problem and he ageed to look at my car at noon (same day) By 4 pm my car was fixed ... he diagnosed the problem , ordered the part, and got the car ready by the end of the day. I am super happy and glad I found this shop! read more

Jason's Auto Service was recommended to us by our mechanic when he retired. They have been terrific. My husband and I both have OLD cars and, thanks to the team there, we plan to keep them for a long time. We find them fair, honest, very helpful. Customer service is really great. We recommend them to all of our friends. It's so great to have a reliable mechanic! read more

I was in Oakland on business and ended up having my check engine light come on. They didn't have time to fit me in for a full inspection, but offered to do a super quick diagnostics test FOR FREE and identified one of my engine cylinders was misfiring. Since they couldn't take it, they referred me to Care Care around the corner (which is also a great shop). They seem like a great shop, would recommend if you need auto repair services in this area. read more

5 stars are not enough for this business. Seriously. Repeat customer for a reason. Genuine, honest, knowledgeable. No upsell ever. Very accurate timing and estimations. He will tell you what he can do or not do upfront. And extremely generous with his information. Thank you for the great service again! read more

You get the feeling they're honest and trustworthy. That's really important. I used to frequent Oakland Honda for my auto maintenance. They seem to have changed management/ownership. The service manager tried so hard to sell services I didn't need yet. That horrible experience is what got me searching for another auto shop. Glad I found this one. read more

Here for an oil change and Joe also restored our headlights which were really cloudy before. Excellent service and I recommend this mechanic and business to everyone! Thanks Joe! Jason's Auto Service is the best! Honest good people and legitimate mechanics that know what they are doing. read more

Jason's repair shop is a great place to get your car repaired. They're very knowledgeable, honest, and very reasonable. I drive across town to bring my car here. I definitely recommend this shop! read more

Five stars for Tyler! I came in on Monday to get a headlight fixed and was super impressed. Even though I showed up late, he was very professional and accommodating. Great service and a very kind attitude. I'll definitely be back! read more

My go to shop. Always 5 stars, honest and reliable guys. Came in for a major service on my car, Tyler and Mark took care of it no problem! Great value! read more

I first brought my car to Jason's Auto Service because they had great reviews, and were conveniently 5 minutes away from my house. I kept bringing my car to Jason's Auto Service for every car issue I have even after I moved 30 minutes away, because they are truly the best. These guys are great mechanics, and their pricing cannot be beat. Tyler is incredibly kind, transparent and communicative, and as if that weren't enough- he got jokes for days. I can't recommend these guys enough. read more

Honest, quick service. After I got ripped off elsewhere last week (almost $350 for an oil change and tire rotation), these guys were a welcome change. read more

I always get great service on my aging ford escape hybrid. Jason's has helped me keep it running and always at a fair and reasonable price!

Let me start by saying I've been a loyal customer for years. I was recommended to them ever since my warranty ran out at the bmw dealership. They've been taking care of my car for a while and have always been thorough and honest about what work needs to be done. Prices are also very reasonable compared to dealership. As you know, luxury cars are very high maintenance and very expensive to upkeep after the warranty runs out. They don't nickel and dime you on everything or charge ludicrous prices just to diagnose the issue. Taylor has been my go to guy, but others in the shop have been great help as well. I highly recommend this shop for your auto body and service needs. They have integrity and are highly skilled at what they do. read more

Took car in for emergency service. They scanned the error code in front of me and set pricing expectations up front. They were very detailed in explaining exactly what needed to be done. They even suggested I take my car to the prior shop I used since I had the same issue in February and it might have been on warranty/eligible for a labor discount. Needless to say I stuck with Jason's auto shop and they fixed my car same day at a fair price, with warranty on the parts. Will be doing more service here! read more

Been going here for years! Consistently and transparent prices not too expensive and very ry very kind people to work with!

I took my Mazda in because it was leaking fluid and smelled horrible from the engine. Within 30 minutes they had determined it was a cracked cylinder head- not an obvious issue with a 40k mile car. They advised me to call Mazda USA and get them to fix it instead of paying out of pocket which I GREATLY appreciate it. Definitely knowledgeable and trustworthy. read more

Loved Jason when he owned the shop and then he passed it onto Joe, and love Joe and Tyler and Mark!!! I roll up in there a lot ( it's Oakland it's real out here ) and they are the best!!! read more

Summary: Great service, honest people and great prices. I called 6 shops to get quotes on one of the more significant types of regular maintenance for my 2011 Honda Fit (tire rotation, spark plugs, valve adjustment, and oil change). These were the results: Honda Dealer: $1100 Berkeley Bobs: $400 Berkeley Auto Repair: $585 Arts Automotive: $753 Jason's Auto Service: $375 Torchio's Auto Service: $600 I was suspicious that because Jason's was the lowest price that there would be some hidden fees. When I dropped off my car I mentioned my Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor may be broken, and he told me that would be about $120 in parts+labor to replace and reprogram. I resigned myself to the extra fee. I regretted not explicitly asking for quotes on that problem in advance over the phone. When I returned to pick up my car he explained that he could find nothing wrong with my TPMS sensor, and he did not charge me for the labor to check the sensor. This experience really makes me trust them. I had already okay'd the $120 charge, and he did not do it because it was unnecessary. I will be taking my car back for all my needs going forward. Also, I appreciated the flexibility they gave in using customer provided parts. read more

Jason's Auto Service - Front Entrance To Jason's Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Oakland, California

I have a 2002 Honda Accord and they discovered that my Idle Air Control Valve Assembly needed to be replaced (very common for the 2002 Honda) ordered the part and replaced it all within a few days. They were very honest about it being the most likely fix. Jason and his technician went above and beyond in also identifying front and back brake light issues and referring me to Honda for a possible airbag safety recall issue. I will definitely be back for future car maintenance. Excellent, straightforward and friendly customer service. read more

Great service and value! Friendly knowledgable staff . Same day service. Jason's Auto will fix what they can and provide great referrals for what they cannot do. This is now my go-to auto shop for my next oil change or auto repair! read more

I have been to this auto service for several years. The consistency of quality and honest service never fails. It's a gem in Oakland. They are the most honest auto mechanics in town. read more

Families been going to Jason's for years! Greatest thing about J's is that they're transparent and affordable. J loves to say "I don't mind doing the work, but I suggest you do x,y,z first to save some money". Outside of their work, their honesty and integrity is ultimately what keeps new and existing clientele coming back. read more

Stopped by to have a headlight replaced. They were super friendly, replaced the headlight right there on the spot (and it wasn't easy as my car requires taking a number of parts off in order to access the headlight) and were done in less than 15 minutes. Plus, the price was super reasonable. Very happy to have found a good car repair shop right by my office! read more

I have been going to Jason's for many years including with the new team. They are great - often recommending that I not do unnecessary repairs and doing a terrific job on those that are required quickly and at a fair price. read more

Tyler is always straightforward, honest, and communicative. I've used them pretty much exclusively for the past few years. Highly recommend.

Good service, responsive, excellent work, convenient location. Honest and great to deal with. I love these guys! Never had a problem and they give me good advice on keeping the old car running. read more

I. Love. This. Man. I don't ever make time to leave reviews, but he deserves your business. Even though he's busy, he always makes time to give me the last minute oil change I forgot to plan for before I hit the road, and he knew me over the phone after my first or second time there (I promise you, I'm not that memorable). I recently had to take my car somewhere else, begrudgingly, when it died over the weekend while he was closed. It was making a noise afterwards and, when Jason couldn't figure out conclusively what was wrong, he sent me out the door free of charge with a new belt that seemed to fix it and instructions to check in with him in a few days. I don't know why I ever went anywhere else. read more

Do you like sitting around waiting for your car's smog check to finish? I didn't think so! Jason's blasted me out in 25 minutes, leaving me plenty of time to enjoy my day. It is not the cheapest smog check in town (I paid $58 including certificate) but it is probably the fastest. And since time is money ... read more

These guys are well organized and provide good customer service on top of taking care of your car. They are responsive and schedule out to stay on track with appointments. read more

I have been going to Jason's for auto repairs and routine oil changes since I got my car back in 2018. Tyler, one of the staff at Jason's, is exceptionally kind and helpful. He always takes the time to discuss any issues that arise and offers options for next steps. He is transparent about cost expectations and works hard to ensure he can accommodate timelines. He has been so helpful with any and all issues that have come up with my older 2007 Ford Taurus. I once had an emergency with my vehicle right before a trip I was scheduled to take and he fit my repair in same day. He has even arrived before normal work hours in order for me to drop my car off and still get to work on time. I have referred Jason's Auto to every person who asks as it is hard to find an honest and caring mechanic, and the staff at Jason's Auto Services definitely fill that role. read more

I was recommended to Jason Auto Services through my partner co worker who has been taken his vehicle here many years. I am so glad I did, Joseph whose the current owner of Jason Auto Service him and staff were very professional and attentive to our concern upon arrival. Joseph and his staff were able to narrow down the issue to my vehicle. I was impressed on the overall great customer service, attentiveness and how quickly him and his staff worked on my vehicle. When I arrived to pick up my vehicle Tyler walked me step by step and showed me what parts were replaced. It was indeed worth the drive and I am happy to find an honest auto service shop I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an honest mechanic in Oakland area and who lives in the bay area look no further. Thank you to Joseph and team I can truly drive with ease indeed greatful. read more

Awesome service by Jason. I got few services done by Jason and I can assure he is very honest about its services and will be honest in letting you know what service your card needs. Thank you Jason read more

I went to this shop on recommendation from a friend. They did not disappoint. Courteous, knowledgeable, and quick. The final price was just as it was quoted. They didn't try to upsell me on getting additional services done. I will be coming back to get all my auto service needs met. read more

These guys are the straightest of shooters. The only bad thing about my experience is that it made me realize another local mechanic had been ripping off my elderly grandparents for years. This other Oakland mechanic told my 80 year old grandma that it would take thousands of dollars of repairs to help her old car pass smog. That didn't smell right to me, so I took it to Jason's and they made the necessary repair and smog check for... fifty bucks!! Service was fast and they were nice to boot. Honest and skilled mechanics are hard to come by, so these guys earned a customer for life out of me. read more

At first, I went because they were close to home. I discovered that they're honest mechanics. I took my Forester to have the front right boot replaced, he didn't try to sell me the left boot. They they were seperate pieces and didn't need to be replaced yet. Same with my rear right bearing hub, he told me to wait on the left bearing hub, I got six more months out on the left rear hub. read more

I've been to Jason's a couple times now, and I won't be going anywhere else! The people who work there are all very honest and nice, and have taken great care of my car. Quick and reliable! read more

Joe, whom I believe is the owner is very knowledge and friendly. I feel comfortable and that he's honest with what services I need for my car. He does a free tire rotation and checks/refills fluids with the oil change service. I pay a fraction of the price here compared to the Toyota dealership. Thank you Joe! read more

I have never had a mechanic who took the initiative to ask me what type of motor oil I'd like to get for my oil change when I requested for one, but Jason took the time to explain to me the different types and their cost, as well as the likely recommended oil for my 2014 Mazda (which he also said can be verified in my car manual). I appreciated that Jason didn't make any assumption about what products I would want to get and instead provided me options. And the cherry on top was that his labor cost was very competitive. I'll definitely be back! read more

I got a quote on a Wednesday to change the rear brakes, they did it the following Friday for way less than the Toyota garage. Wasn't quite ready when I went to pick up but apart from that it was good service. read more
