Got my car patched up by Alan on a 1 day turn around. Guy seems very straight up, charged me a nominal amount, told me my car sucked and he wasn't responsible for other stuff -- basically it sounds like he deals with a lot of crappy customers -- hoping he is the guy for my car in the East Bay moving forward. So far so good: 10/10 recommend read more

A great friend suggested this place to me. I normally do dealership service but she said to try out this place. I came in early and Alan took the key and phone number. He said he will try to get it done by 1 but definitely before 5. I told him the service warning that shows up on my dashboard and he said no worries. He will check and let me know if there are additional work. Called about 3 hours later saying the car is done! No upsell, no long winded explanation. Just told me one concern that should be addressed on the next service time and that's it. Price is much more reasonable than dealership. Just be warned, there is no place to wait. I ended up walking to Panera to wait for my car. If you have someone who can pick you up and drive you back that's better. There is also Johnny's donut a little bit down the road or Taco Bell across the street. Glad to have found a reasonably priced , honest mechanic around here. I'll be back for sure. I was told that he's pretty busy and can't guarantee your calls will be picked up. So I didn't even try to make an appointment . I just drove my car there and hoped for the best. read more

A no-nonsense type of guy. He truly knows his craft. Both Alan and his technician are wonderful and a blessing to the community.

If you want reliable, honest, professional and no nonsense service for your Japanese import car see Alan at Lexura. He was great. I was recommend to him by a buddy of mine for a brake repair job. I went to visit. Told him in practically running metal on metal. He told me leave the car, have me a quote and if he finds more damage he'll call and let me know. He called me i the afternoon and told me its not as bad as i thought. First of all how awesome os that?? You know any major dealership or big name repair wouldve gone for the upsell. Replaced my pads and rotors. Noticed i needed an oil change so he offered that too. Let just say what i paid was a fair and awesome price for the service. THE BEST IN TOWN. By buddy told me he takes all of his familys cars there and so will I. Go see him if you your Honda, Lexus, Nissan, Infiniti or Acura need fixing. You wont regret it. Also, dont bother calling they never pick up the phone. But if you want a no nonsense job done thats honest, reliable without the upsell. Alan is your guy. And hell even tell you what too look out for down the road. I was worried about my front brakes needing work and he told me "nope youve got lots of miles left on those ". You NEVER hear that anywhere else. Thanks Alan! read more

A no nonsense wholesome mechanic. Don't pay attention to his sometime abrupt conversation. He tells the truth.

Honest and friendly service. I highly recommend taking your car in to get serviced here.

I've been taking my cars to Alan for over 8 yrs now. Trust me when I say this. Never take your car to the dealership unless it's under warranty. They will price gouge you and convince you to pay for repairs you don't need. Alan is no nonsense. He will straight up tell you what your car needs and will never try and upsell you on stuff that you don't need. He's fast and consistent. He only works on Hondas, Toyotas, Acuras, Lexuses. He has saved me thousands in attempted dealer rip offs. I highly recommend this mechanic!! read more

Alan is the best mechanic in the area. I've been bringing my cars to him for the last 12yrs since moving back into the area! All business and always looks out for his customers...even if he can't help, he'll help you find someone that can. read more

Dropped off my prius for a 90k miles maintenance, it drives noticeably smoother with less engine vibrations and breaking feels more responsive. The service was efficient and professional. I dropped the car off around 10am and had it back by 5pm the same day. Total cost was $500, which felt reasonable for a major service interval. Alan was great to work with, knowledgeable, straightforward, and easy to communicate with. Will be returning for future service. read more

Been going to Alan since the late 2000s because he's honest and trustworthy! It's hard to find people who are genuine and willing to give a fair price and opinion. I always ask him for local shop's recommendations as well. read more

My Honda Civic was overdue for an oil change, my service light came on. Alan does not answer his phone, so don't expect to call for a quote or hours of operation. He opens at 9AM, you just show up first thing in the morning and tell him what you need. However, how Alan operates is that he tells you what your car needs and not the other way around. For example, I have a service light on that tells me I need to replace my air filters, etc. He will do the oil change and check if the other items need replacing. Surprisingly, he told me I just needed the oil change and I didn't need the other items replaced. He does tire rotation for $25? I forget the price. He only does the rotation if requested. I dropped off my car around 9AM and I believe he was done by early afternoon, I received the call most likely around 1PM. The price of the oil change seemed reasonable, not too cheap but definitely not too expensive either. For routine car maintenance, I definitely do plan to bring my car back here. I came on Cesar Chavez day so he definitely is opened on that day if anyone was wondering! read more

I've been going to Alan as my ONLY mechanic for the past 15 years. I 100% trust him and his advice and quality of work. We were in the market for a brand new car 3 years ago and we decided that we would only purchase a Japanese brand solely because that's what Alan specializes in. I've always wanted a BMW but Alan doesn't work on those and I don't trust anyone else for maintenance and repairs, especially the dealership, so we got a Lexus instead. On 3 separate occasions I brought my older car (2008 Acura TSX) in because it was having issues and Alan did not charge me anything. One of those instances it seemed like the battery was dying. The car would cut off and lose all power randomly. I figured it was something serious and would cost thousands of dollars. Nope. I dropped it off with Alan in the morning, got a call back a few hours later and he told me one of the battery cables was loose and he tightened it, no charge. I remember him saying "I didn't really do anything so I don't feel comfortable charging you for this". He also wouldn't allow me to tip him for that service so I ended up leaving money on his desk, lol. Two other occasions he diagnosed a major problem on that same car that he wasn't able to fix, and he didn't charge me for that either. He told me exactly what the problem was, exactly what needed to be done to have it repaired, and a general estimate of what another shop should charge for this. I don't know anything about cars so that information was invaluable. I took it to another shop and told them the same information he gave me. They looked at it and told me I needed other work done as well (of course). I explained to them to only do the work that I'm requesting. They did, roughly around the same price so that was good, but the car has been fine after that. I'm actually going to drop off my car this morning with Alan. Nothing is wrong with it that I'm aware of, but I'm about to take it on a road-trip and I want it inspected and checked out before I do. If I took it anywhere else they would come up with a problem or find a non-existent problem just to make some money. Alan doesn't do that. He's honest, trustworthy, great personality and funny as well. read more

Alan is awesome. We've are a Lexus (GX, RX) and Toyota (Highlander) family and Lexura has been my go to since the dealer warranties and service contracts were up a few years ago. No upselling, no ridiculous labor fees - just true honest "here's exactly what you need" service. Scheduling can be challenging as others have noted. I usually go by just before they open and almost 9/10 times I can drop off the same day and get it back that afternoon. I find Mondays are particularly busy. read more

Trust worthy mechanics that I've been going to for a very long time. My old CRV and 2014 Sienna are in top shape thanks to them.

Trust worthy mechanics are hand to find. I serviced all my Toyota, Honda, and Lexus here for the past 15 years. They charge fair prices for quality works. If something is not required to be replaced, Allan would just tell you not to replace it. He would give me a estimate time when the parts would need to be replaced in the future. He also recommended me to be pro active on servicing my cars. I have not had any surprise break downs for the past 15 years. Thank you for all you do. read more

These guys are the best and truly know their craft. Super honest and trustworthy. 10/10

Alan is the best. Have been coming here for 15+ years. Never disappointed. There's no point calling them just drop by and he will let you know what he can or cannot do. Note: Hondas+Acura and Toyota+Lexus only. Not even Nissan - the guy is like that. Respect. read more

Honest Review: If you ever need any services and maintenance done for your Lexus, Acura, Toyota and/or Honda, you must go to Alan! I have been a loyal customer for 7yrs since 2015 to 2022 (switched over to European cars since YOLO and will plan to trade-in then upgrade to a Lexus LX 600 in a couple years lol to see Alan again). Alan has worked on my following vehicles: 1.) '04 Lexus RX 330 (SUV 150K miles) - Full Synthetic Oil/Filter Change - Ignition Coils x2 (not 6) Replacement ***Alan only uses GENUINE parts because he had found that my previous local auto dealer (from '08 to '15) had used aftermarket cheap parts in my Lexus where at one point the engine lights came on since it kept on misfiring with vehicle stall (luckily I was coming out of a parking lot after having dinner with the fam going local then pulled into street parking); I had AAA towed it to Alan's Shop overnight on a Saturday late evening then left it there until Monday morning. Alan told me that 2 out of 6 ignition coils had failed to operate requiring immediate replacements which was done soon as he reopened his shop that Monday. A few days later, I went ahead and detailed the entire interior/exterior of my vehicle by self before selling it since it was going on 150K miles where ALL major replacements would be needed LOL. 2.) '08 Toyota Yaris (Hatchback 175K miles) - Full Synthetic Oil/Filter Change - 120K High Mileage Maintenance - 150K High Mileage Maintenance 3.) '15 Honda Civic (Sedan 80K miles) - Full Synthetic Oil/Filter Change - 30K Low Mileage Maintenance - 60K Moderate Mileage Maintenance 4.) '17 Honda CR-V EX-L (SUV 60K miles) - Full Synthetic Oil/Filter Change - 30K Low Mileage Maintenance - 60K Moderate Mileage Maintenance ***Maintenance includes full synthetic oil/filter change, genuine engine/cabin air filter change, tire rotate, brake checks, battery check, realignment, brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, tire pressure calibration, multi-point inspection, etc... Alan never up sales me anything and have overtime considerably saved me lots of money from where I would have to pay way more at the dealership for the same services. Alan has told me many times before not to worry especially since I was new to Honda that they will run just fine with little wear & tear unless it was truly needed for safety precautions; fortunately, I ease into my brakes and drive on the freeway frequently for commute/work/leisure so no serious major replacements were needed. Therefore, if you need a local auto mechanic in the Tri-Valley area, Alan is the MAN!!! My family and I have been safe in all the vehicles Alan serviced for me so I am very blessed, grateful and truly appreciative of all he has done for me no matter the cost because no amount of money is worth more than a life living for; any day above ground is a good day and I owe it to Alan, thank you! read more

You will not find a BETTER mechanic anywhere than Alan. His knowledge about our cars is so impressive. Great customer service is still here at his shop. Honesty, integrity, great prices, that's Alan's shop. If you go to the dealer you get free coffee, but my experience has been, that I pay half of what the dealers price is for the same service every time. I'll get my own coffee. I appreciate him so much. 184,000 on my Acura 2009 TSX. Because of Alan taking great care of my car, I know I can go another 100,000 if I so desire. Gretchen Kyle read more

My 2002 Honda coupe had smoke coming from the front. They fixed it the same day. Drop off your car and let them handle the repairs. Trust them; they will call you when your car is ready. read more

Allan at Lexura is the absolute best you'll find. I've been going to Allan for well over a decade so this review is long overdue. Start with him on your quest to find an auto service center you can trust for honest, reliable, and competitively priced service. Don't call him (he's generally busy), just go to the shop! read more

Top notch service at a very reasonable price. You can rest assured that ur Lexus will be taken care of here

Quick, efficient, knowledgeable. By specializing they provide expert service. Don't expect to call and get someone. It's the old school type of shop where you're best to swing by to get appt. read more

We have been servicing our Lexus ES330 for many years at Lexura and we love it! They are doing a superb job on our car for all the required maintenance and the job is perfectly done every time! The owner is totally honest with a lot of empathy for it's customers with a work ethic that you rarely find today. Not only you get the greater service at a fraction of the dealership cost but the job is perfectly done with great care and love for the car you bring them! This is amazing! Yes the Toyota/Lexus Honda/Acura are the best made cars in the word. But still you need to service them as per the manufacturer recommendation and once in the blue moon something might go wrong with the car particularly if you like to keep your car for a long time like us! If you own one of those superb cars I urge you to service you car at Lexura and forget the overpriced and often dishonest factory dealers. You can not go wrong with Lexura!!!! read more

It's hard to find an honest mechanic and alan is that honest guy. I was tired of getting ripped off and paying ridiculous labor fees and that does NOT happen at lexura. I had my brake pads and oil changed and he fixed a leaking sun roof. Alan got my car back to me the next day at a great price. This the only place I'll take my toyota to from now on. Pro tip: easier to stop by in person with any questions. read more

Had an issue with my car took it to this shop on weekday morning. Alan the owner attended my issue. He was quick and responsive. He heard the issue opened a ticket. I left the car with him. He called me around noon and told me that instead of replacing the coil and spark plug of all 4 cylinders which will be expensive. He recommended replacing the spark plug first as they need tk be replaced at 110K miles. for diagnosis, parts, and labor he charged with $260 with tax. It was quick no BS no trying to make a quick buck. Was prompt and picked up car that day. Bottom line will recommend this place if you have a used car that needs work. read more

Update: This is the place to have your car serviced. They are honest and will take care of your car. Only OEM parts are used. You just need to show up early for service. read more

I have been taking my Honda and Toyota cars to Alan for years to have them serviced. He is very honest and is direct about what actually needs to be done, unlike dealership service centers that always try to up sell me on often unnecessary, additional services which makes me uncomfortable. Also his prices are very reasonable. read more

Alan and team are straight to the point and get the job done with competence and professionalism. Highly recommended!

Excellent services. Allan delivered what he promised with fair price. Recommend his services to others.

I had a friend recommend me to do a major service on my oddessey . I asked Alan the costs involved and his pricing is very very competitive. I also asked how much time it would take to do the service. He came through in flying colors. Way before promised time and my van runs smoothly. I'll be servicing my van here from now on! Thanks a lot Alan! read more

Returned back to get my vehicle serviced. The shop never picks up the phone. Wanted to get a 90k service done, but because I had time, I took it in at 86k. He said he would not do it because he is stubborn like that. I get it, but if a customer is willing to service their vehicle early, why not. It's only a 4K difference... if you like to have your time wasted after him telling you to bring it next week, then he asks for mileage, go for it. This is a mechanic who likes to do things in his terms and condition and he will always tell you he likes to "train" his customers like they're some pets or something... read more

I had Lexura to repair my Lexus and Acura. Allan and his team did a very good and thorough job. The service fee is compatible to many other repair shop. I strongly recommend Lexura to do Auto repair. However, since they are very busy so I don't recommend to take your car for regular oil change or minor maintenance work read more

Hard to get a hold of but they do great work. They found a water pump leak in my car and suggested I get it repaired under warranty. I will continue to go to them. read more

Quite possibly the best auto repair/maintenance place I've been to. Honest, quick, and affordable. You Yelpers didn't steer me wrong. The place is slightly difficult to find. It's off the street, behind some other buildings. I took DH's old Acura here when the check engine light turned on. Alan checked the code - it said the sliding door was stuck. But the car doesn't have a sliding door. So, he reset the light and advised me to bring it back if it came on again. Best of all, there was no charge! I took my car here for an oil change. Fortunately, I called a few days ahead of time and booked an appointment. They have Saturday service times. I dropped the car off and it was ready in an hour, even though they were packed. They did a great job, no leaks, and it was a great deal at a tad over $20. They also take credit cards. Seriously low stress, which is not something you think of when you're thinking of auto repairs or maintenance! I wouldn't hesitate to come back again. read more

What is the other racist yelper saying?? Alan speaks perfect english. Sucks to still hear racist comments like that esp to ruin someone's business, how pathetic... Thanks to all yelpers to get it right! Wanted to get 90K maintenance on my Accord and decided to try Lexura based on all the reviews and there was not one negative review posted. Met Alan and he broke it down the costs on the phone and in person, basically 350.00 vs 550.00 at the dealership. As busy as he was, he took the time to explain everything to me and is genuinely kind and very patient person. I felt Alan was extremely honest, he was not trying to sell or BS me like other shops. I am delighted and very happy with Alan's services and the car sounds great. Definitely will be back for my other cars and what a gem! He has a lot of customers, so make an apt. Go Alan! read more

Despite the fact that it's hard to get a hold of the business when calling, they do good work here. My second time coming to them when the dealer overcharges on certain services where your neighborhood mechanic, can easily perform. Will definitely be coming back to them. Very polite, professional and honest. read more

Very genuine, and values your car and advise appropriate service. Overall it's a great experience.

Alan has to be the most honest mechanic I've ever had. Fast and super reliable. If you have a Toyota or Lexus there's no other place you need to take your car to. read more

I've known Allan for quite some time now. I keep giving him five star ratings as he has not disappointed our family. We have yet to find a situation where he was not courteous. He is always honest and makes good recommendations for service. He provides as good as service as the dealership if not better as he doesn't try to gouge a person for work that is not necessary. I look forward to coming to him in the coming years with my cars read more
