Extremely Disappointed…read more I brought my car to J&jAuto Repair in late July because of the positive reviews. Before J&j diagnosed my car, I specifically explained that other shops had already replaced the coils and spark plugs, but the same problem kept coming back after a month or two. Despite knowing this history, I paid approximately $180 for a diagnostic and was told I needed the coils and spark plugs replaced again, costing me about $700, i authorized the work and once again the car ran smooth right after this. About two months later, the exact same issue returned. I called them and was told to bring the car back but communication was very poor. I had to repeatedly call for updates and ultimately lost another day of work waiting for answers. I was eventually told the coils and spark plugs were fine and that my car needed a Honda software update. They gave me a Honda service bulletin and sent me to the dealership. I took another day off work, only to have Honda tell me that **the bulletin did not apply to my vehicle--it was for the 2.0L engine, while mine is the 1.5L--and my software was already up to date. After this experience, I am extremely disappointed with the diagnosis, communication, and service I received waisting my time my money and the frustration of them being a professional repair shop not knowing what's wrong with my car . I will be filing a complaint with BBB, and Bureau of Automotive repair (BAR). I wanted to share my experience so other customers can make an informed decision. i do not recommend this shop as they only put band aids on your car .

This shop…read moreactually came highly recommended to me by another parent at my son's school, who had their brakes done here and was very happy with both the service and the price. After my own experience, I can completely see why. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and extremely professional. Their estimate and approval process was incredibly thorough and easy to understand. They use an app that sends estimates electronically for approval, which made everything so clear and stress free. They also completed my repairs much quicker than originally estimated and went out of their way to make sure I had my car back before the weekend. They were more than happy to accommodate my pickup time, even though I arrived just a few minutes before closing, which I truly appreciated. Choosing to do business with a family owned local shop like this was really meaningful to me. It felt much more personal, and it was reassuring to know I was supporting a local business in our community. On top of that, they saved me a significant amount of money compared to the dealership. I had major repairs done including rear brakes, rear wheel bearings, and an oil leak, all for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. It truly would have put me in debt if I had gone the other route. My car now runs beautifully, and I feel confident knowing the work was done right. Every person I interacted with was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I will absolutely be bringing my car here from now on and highly recommend Lopez Tires & Service to anyone looking for honest, quality auto service.

My serpentine belt had ripped and I took it in to see if I could get it replaced. As soon as I pulled up I was approached by a mechanic and I showed him what had happened. He asked me to turn on my car and we both noticed the pulley on the power steering pump was not turning straight and was wobbling. He turned off the car and said that that entire part needed to be replaced, which I agreed with. I asked him how much and he went to get another guy to take a look at it. When he came over he glanced at us and then at the car and said it would cost us $400 total for both the part and labor. In desperation and in need for my car, I agreed and asked him how long it would take. He said 2 to 3 hours, so we gave him the key and left. An hour or so later he calls me and starts off by saying "Oh, you're going to need more work done! The AC compressor is no good! It's not turning, you're going to need to replace it!" Confused and even more stressed out, I asked him how much that would cost. He said it would be $1,000 all together. I started to feel suspicious of it because when I handed the car over, I had no issues with my AC at all. I asked him if the car would still be drivable if I didn't replace it. He made it seem like it would be a very bad issue if I didn't replace it, but I could "temporarily" drive it for emergencies. I told him to not do anything extra but to replace the Power Steering pump like we had agreed. An hour later I went to the shop to wait. No one came to ask me why I was there or asked if I needed help. I had to wait until the mechanic working on my car came in and noticed I was in there. He starts off saying that my car now has a funny noise and that it was coming from my compressor. I felt so upset because my car wasn't making that noise at all when I left it. He told me that he couldn't guarantee that the work he did would be okay if something else happened to it. He tried to show me the price of the AC compressor on his computer to explain why he wanted to charge me $1000. The whole situation seemed very off and I just wanted to pay and leave. I checked my AC and it was working fine and it was blowing out cold air. My gut was telling me that he was being dishonest/suspicious. About three weeks later, the same pulley is now having issues. It is not spinning straight and I'll now have to get that part replaced again. If that part is brand new, why am I having the same issues? I have pictures to show the damage on the pulley on this "brand new" part. We had called them to explain what happened and they told us to bring it back but honestly I don't want anything to do with them and I hope others are cautious if they give them business.

I had a good experience with boulevard auto. As a woman, it's hard to find a mechanic that isn't…read moreeager to rip me off. I have had bad experiences with several official dealership mechanics as well as other mechanics in Castro valley. My dad comes to Boulevard Auto for work on his vintage car and recommended I try them because they always treat him well. He is a man, so his review couldn't really tell me whether women get treated as well as he. They were quick to get a quote to me after I filled out their form. I needed my side mirror replaced. Initially they quoted me $888: $180 for labor, $4 for hazmat, $25 for supplies, $63 for taxes, $140 for a new mirror and $477 for the mirror assembly (the housing for the mirror that lets you change the angle from within your car). BTW, when I looked on the GM site, these are the exact parts prices they list to the public. I'm not sure if boulevard auto gets a discount that I don't see as a civilian (as opposed to a licensed mechanic rate), but either way there's no outrageous upcharge (and potentially no upcharge at all?) on parts. When I talked to max about the quote, I told him I'd seen the same mirror for 1/8 of the price on amazon. He explained to me that boulevard auto only uses the officially licensed materials sold by the car's company (in my case, with a Chevy, it's GM). This is so that the parts are covered under warranty. He explained that as long as they use the official GM mirror and housing, I'd be covered if, say, a rock hit my mirror. They don't install non-licensed parts. This seemed like good reasoning to me and I was glad that he took the time to explain; it made me feel better about the astronomical price. So the issue with my car was a broken side mirror. They told me that my particular car doesn't have easily accessible parts and they'd need to order it from another state. That meant I would have to pay a non-refundable upfront amount for both parts with a chance that I wouldn't need the $477 part, only the $140 mirror. Max said he was about 80% sure that the entire thing (casing and mirror) would need to be replaced. Because I was hesitant about the astronomical price of potentially having to replace the whole housing in addition to the mirror, max offered to take apart the whole thing and determine whether it was actually necessary to order both parts. They did this for me and determined the car did need both. A side note for other women reading this, I know they really took it apart to inspect it and didn't just lie about taking it apart because the already pretty broken mirror shattered in the process of them inspecting further. The tape in hidden places had also been removed. So I felt pretty sure that they had actually put in the effort to truly take it apart, and not just pretended. A lot of times I've been to other mechanics and they just lie about doing that kind of thing (i guess it's like "a woman can't possibly know the difference" or maybe feeling disgruntled that I would question their expert opinion). So this opposite kind of treatment from boulevard auto made me feel lots better about trusting them with my business. I paid a $600 deposit to cover most of the $616 parts cost (mirror and housing). Max then let me know after I paid that he had been mistaken, and that the housing actually came with the mirror, so there would be no parts cost for a separate mirror (which had been originally quoted for $140). He ended up applying the excess amount of my $600 deposit to the labor cost, and my total was a little over $700. They finished the replacement in only like 45 minutes, so $180 is kind of a lot for such a short amount of time, but I guess a lot of behind the scenes labor was required; sourcing a part that wasn't available locally, coordinating shipping, consulting with me several times and answering all my questions. This is a lot of money. But also, it kind of seems like it would have cost me way more at the dealership, because there wasn't a markup on the supplies. It would have cost me more at another mechanic too because they would have tried to upsell me. A small young woman with a cutesy car, these places often see me as the perfect target. Boulevard auto didn't try to sell me on anything I didn't need, either. They didn't even try to sell me on what I needed, they went out of their way to take the whole thing apart to confirm that I actually needed the expensive part. The new mirror works great, blind spot sensor, folding in, adjusting the angle remotely are all in working order. My only complaint is that they put the drivers seat allllllll the way back and didn't return it to its original position. Other short people out there get this because we all deal with this minor annoyance when having car work done lol. I felt I was treated with respect & kindness. Open communication, enthusiastic to help, timely work. note: I drive a Chevy bolt, & they had never worked on one before. Just a heads up to bolt owners
