This place is awesome. The owner Richard usually answers the phone to this busy shop. Recently i purchased a used car and low and behold the transmission was bad. I spoke to Richard and he called and negotiated that the owner of the used car dealership pay for and have master tech install the transmission, no charge to me. Thank God for him. read more

I had always went here but Never again. This last Thursday my car was towed over for bad breaks they fixed the rear side Only. I called at 830am to let them know the girl who'd initially answered was borederline rude but the real problem is when I got the car back the entire front side of my crv was lowered suspension must've been replaced and they definitely messed with the front side of it switched out the parts It was confirmed by someone who does know about cars since I don't. Impossible to have deteriorated and downright shrunk in size when my car was all stock! I cannot prove bc as clients we come in trusting a legitimate business to be ethical but they just gaslit saying they didn't touch it of course if they hold themselves accountable they'll have to admit someone replaced with older parts! The car feels and sounds like a rusty old truck on even a straight road now. Thanks guys for taking advantage of your customers bc you can (probably even more so being a woman). read more

My car battery was about to die this morning. Was lucky to barely get my car started. Drove to Costco to buy a new battery then searched for the nearest decent mechanic shop since Im a dummy when it comes to cars and dodnt want to risk getting myself injured if I messed up. Brought my car to this place and they were super nice in being willing to switch out my dying battery with the new battery completely free of charge on a hot day. Beyond decent people. I think they earned my trust, I will be coming back for other services like oil changes. read more

A piece of my fender popped off when I was headed north on 5 to go camping for the 4th of July. Checked yelp for the closest decent body shop and stopped at Master Tech. They were incredibly helpful, fit me in without an appointment, fixed it in 10 minutes with two zip ties, and refused payment. If I'm ever in Woodland again and need car service, I'd be back. read more

Finding a good honest mechanic is PRICELESS. Owner Richard Cruz provided a very professional experience. The ladies in the office, Larrisa and Esme were so polite. I highly recommend Master Tech should you ever need a mechanic. read more

I have moved here a year ago, and my car broke down in the Raleys shopping center. I had it towed to Master Tech, and the next day it was repaired by them at a reasonable price. Having many car repairs and services needed, I have continued go to them. They give outstanding customer service!!! They are as good with the price of parts and repair as they are in service. The front desk is always courteous and friendly. I highly recommend them. Linda Gould read more

Best shop in town. Free shuttle service. Reasonable price and parts and labor. Friendly staff. Best thing about this place -when you drive away, you know your car was fixed as it should. Peace of mind is hard to come by. This is the only shop I would take my cars into. read more

Well, where to begin... Well, i took my 2016 Fiat 500L in for a routine oil change and shortly after getting my vehicle and driving it the engine shut off... Was able to get the car back to Master Tech. They were able to get the car running and sent me to the Fiat dealer because they were not sure what the issue was. The Fiat dealership found a work glove in the oil pan after taking the oil pan off to see what they could find... Now i have been without a car for quite a while and almost lost my job. Master tech has not said how they will resolve this issue. I will never go back and DO NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO GO THERE... They have never offered any assistance for a rental car or anything just leaving stranded because of one of their employees negligence... COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE.... read more

I had taken my 1991 Toyota 1 ton to this business I had him do some work on my vows in my clutch I agree to the price of $4,400 I couldn't pay for it I signed the truck over I had lots of tools in the truck over $10,000 in tools and a $3,000 welder he has taken all of this for a $4,400 repair he is a thief and not a good businessman I will tell you this caveat emptor read more

I had the misfortune of having my car completely die on me while driving down the highway. This was one of the closest shops that the tow truck recommended. I'm so glad he did. They took care of me in a very timely manner. I thought that I was going to need a whole new engine but it turned out it was a simple fix with a different oil filter than what I had been using. The staff was very friendly. Even though I don't live in the area I will be making the trip out for my oil changes. Thank you Master Tech! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I was "referred" to this business from a local muffler mechanic. I will be writing to him of my experience as well ! Customers shoukd never be "referred" to go here! Front desk clerks no Nothing about cars! Yet they are the only ones who speak to you!! THEY'LL their eyes and act like you are "bothering" them! You Never get to speak to a mechanic! They move at a snails pace when it comes to diagnosing a car! Then have the nerve to have the little girl at front desk call me to, yet Again, explain what was wrong with my car!!! It sat there for 2 days! Nothing was done! I asked for my car back so I can take it to another mechanic who actually appreciates, my time and my vehicle! BTW, the only time I saw a mechanic it was to hand me my keys back and walk away! Not, "What can we do to fix this situation"? Very unprofessional Their parking lot is a joke! So packed with cars you can't turn around! They do not care about earning and keeping your business at all!!! I drove a few blocks down and received excellent service from a Professional Mechanic!!!! I hardly Ever write bad reviews ! Beware of this business!!!! read more

OK, don't read any of these reviews. Just walk into their waiting room and read all the love letters to Master Tech that they have posted on their wall. They couldn't have faked all of them, really! There's too many. Seriously, they are honest, and understand the customer who's on a budget, and they always check in with you. If you get multiple estimates, their quote will always be right in there, but they're less expensive because they ONLY REPAIR WHAT'S NECESSARY. Six years and counting...we moved to Davis, but still go there. Their shuttle service makes it all work. Got a Toyota? There's no other choice in Yolo County. read more

This place has one of the worst customer service i have ever seen. I went to the shop to get a smog. They could not serve me the same so I made an appointment for 2 Days later. I went there on scheduled date.There was a long wait until i reached the customer service counter. The representative did not seem to care whether someone is waiting. Then the representative went to shop to talk to the mechanic. I was told that machine is not working and they cannot do smog. My concern here is that they did not bother notifying ahead of time. Why waste someone's time when you cannot do the job. It was very easy for them to wash hands with simple "sorry". Never going back even its the last shop in town. read more

Master tech takes the time to fix things right. Recently, I had my 2000 dodge caravan ( I know it is old, but being a wheelchair van conversion, in to replace the fuel pump). Originally, I had a friend do the job, but the pump I purchased did not register the fuel level properly. Mastertech got the replacement part from the parts store I had used and fixed it quickly. They also found a small Emmissions leak which has been causing my check engine light to come on. Great work! Jeff B. Woodland, CA read more

Master Tech has been my go to mechanic shop since they opened many years ago. Rich, the owner, has always treated me professionally and honestly. I have always owned old cars, so there are times when my current road warrior has needed a fix. Have appreciated the service that he and his mechanics provide and the straight forward manner in which he lets me know of the current problem with my car, the cost and the timetable when I can expect it to be repaired. Also appreciated is the free lift home and then back to the shop to pick up the car when it is finished. The office staff have been helpful and efficient. Definitely recommend this shop for honest repair work! read more

We used to go to one of the other shops in town, but they became way too expensive. Started using Master Tech several years ago and they have always been great. Nice people at the front counter and the bosses are nice too. Always try to get job done as quickly as possible and prices are reasonable as compared to other shops. read more

Recently I was attempting to smog my vehicle but had a check engine light. Took it in to master tech and was quoted $1,900 for a catalytic converter! I am no mechanic but I'm no moron either. I did some shopping around and found the catalytic converter (a CA carb approved Flowmaster) for $169 on Ebay and the guy at DMC Garage (Kentucky st. Woodland) quoted me SIXTY BUCKS to weld it in! Well before I did this I thought I should go ahead and change my plugs myself and while doing so found a cracked vacuum line which I replaced for 17 cents at O'reilly's. So I reset the engine light drove it to tahoe and back and the light didn't come back on. Went and smogged it today and it passed. Grand total of repairs? $65.17 read more

I'm going to be objective here. My radiator blew out recently and I needed a new one. I brought my vehicle to this auto shop and they wanted to charge me more than $450 to do the repair. Instead, I bought the parts I needed from Napa Auto Parts in Woodland and my father-in-law repaired it for me using the parts I purchased. Altogether the parts from Napa Auto Parts cost me about $220. Every part (radiator cap, the radiator, upper and lower hose) I purchased from Napa Auto Parts was approximately half the cost for the quoted prices I received from Master Tech. I know they're trying to make a profit, but no need to rip off your customers so much and simultaneously try to say you're being honest. Anyone who continues coming here, I feel sorry for them. You can save money going elsewhere for your auto repairs. Just saying... read more

12/4/15 I initially came here because one of my clients suggested this place and spoke well about it so I gave it a shot because I'm not from around here and I don't really trust auto shops if I'm not aware of it. My car was overheating at such an alarming rate that I decided to just get it fixed. So I called first. The girl in the front that takes calls was rude but whatever, I got past that. Made my appointment, took my car at 3pm same day and Rich (the owner) seemed very nice. He had a calm demeanor and seemed honest so I trusted him with my car. Turned out that my head gasket wasn't working which caused the car to overheat. Price quote was $1280. Keep in mind, I'm a college student and my parents ain't rich so $1280 was pretty steep but my car needed to get fixed so we went ahead and got it done. Got back the car within a week. I asked for the old parts but I guess they forgot and I didn't receive it. 2 days after I got the car back, I went back home with my parents in southern california for 2 1/2 weeks. Never used my car until I got back in Northern Cali January 2. January 4, 2016 - drove my car to school. My car started stalling and shut down completely. Keep in mind I haven't used the car since I got it back from the shop since it was Christmas Break and I flew home. I was so confused. I literally just got the car back and shit is already happening. Called Rich panicking and said they can't really help me much unless I tow the car and take it to them. So I did. Another problem caused the car to stall and broke down. This time it was the distributor assembly. And in my head I'm just like I literally drove this car twice since I got it back and this is happening? How do I know it wasn't caused by their first repair? The car problems I've had since I took it to master tech was a total domino effect that I had all these questions in my head. The warranty didn't cover anything because apparently it was a separate issue. Cool whatever. I got it done anyway. Threw out another $490 within a few weeks of getting it done the first time around. 3 days later after the repair, my check engine light was on. Took it to the shop infuriated. Offered to look at it for free like it's a gift or something. Another problem suggested. Supposedly my catalytic distributor needs to be replaced which is caused by putting lower quality gas whatever whatever. Quoted me $850 for a new one or a $680 for an aftermarket. Didn't even bother doing anything to my car at this point because I feel like they are fucking my car over and me financially. Definitely not taking my business here again. TOTAL RIP OFF. I will be taking my complaint to the California Business Bureau of Automotive Repair. I'm not the only one on Yelp that has had similar problems. THEY DON'T TAKE THEIR JOB SERIOUSLY. I would be cautious before taking your car to Master Tech. read more

Love this place! I take my truck here and only here and I refer family and friends as well. I've had horrible experiences at other shops but Master Tech is amazing! Everybody there is super helpful and the prices are not bad! The owner Rich is great and had my truck done by the end of the day. Quality work, great customer service. Thanks Master Tech! read more

We went to these guys for a couple of years after moving to Davis. Very reasonably priced and friendly. We felt like "regular customers" and had been there probably 12 times or so. The last time, however, made us look elsewhere. We took the car in for an oil change, and they broke the hood release handle. They initially refused to fix/pay for it, saying that it was old and it was going to break anyway(??). It seemed ridiculous for them to lose loyal customers over something so small. After some heated exchanges, they eventually fixed it for us, but their initial response, coupled with the fact that it's twenty minutes away from our house, made us look for a different mechanic. We found what seems to be a very honest and well-respected guy right near UC Davis. read more

Very bad customer service waited for 20min. For service guy to give me a quote. Finally they told me they would call me with quote. Waited all day and never received a call. I guess his phone calls were more important. Will Never give them my business and no one in my circle will. In my opinion they are not the best in Woodland I don't know who voted them#1 in Yolo that's a joke read more

My car's acceleration started acting up and my VSA kept turning off and making the car jerk. I brought my car in for diagnostics because I was recommended by a friend. Everyone was very nice and the pricing was great! The work was done quickly and I will definitely be returning! read more

This has been the greatest shop to bring our vehicles to. Our Honda Civic and Toyota Highlander have both had great service here for maintenance or minor repairs. I really appreciate when they told us a couple times when things were not yet needed. We would have paid without question but now we trust them entirely. We have Subarus now and will continue bringing them to Master Tech read more

I have been going to Master Tech for about 5 years with all my cars. They are quick, reasonably priced and do good work. There has been a time or two I needed to bring the car back in after a repair and the quickly fixed the problem at no cost. Richard the owner is a good guy, he will tell you straight up whether or not a repair can wait or if it is needed now and most importantly he is HONEST. An honest mechanic is worth his weight in gold. Don't waste your time elsewhere, go to Master Tech you will be pleasantly suprised. read more

I do like the pricing of their work, but trying to get an appointment over the phone is non existent. I get put on hold every time for no less than 6 to 8 minutes. If you've ever been on hold for that long, it's an eternity! Especially when there are twenty other oil changing shops in Woodland. I get it, people are busy, but come on! If you really want their business, you'll have to walk in and make an appointment. You guys need to fix this. read more

I could write a bad review for these guys, but I could also write a good one, too. I came back here to get my Acura fixed because it was randomly bogging down and it felt like the fuel was cutting out. It was really intermittent so it really was a pain to diagnose. First time I took it here they had it for 3 days and it was not bogging down for them. I get it back and don't have to pay a penny (woot!!!). When I get home and start it up the next day it ends up doing the same thing, it dies whenever it feels like. ANNOYING So I bring the car back there and leave it with them for a couple more days. They ended up supposedly finding out what it was. They said it was some electrical short in main harness to efi relay circuit. Unfortunately since my car breaking down was an intermittent affair, it was ok for a few days and after I sold the car it started having problems. Good for me, bad for new seller. Would have been bad for me if I kept the car. Anyways, other than them not really fixing my car they were able to inspect my new car I bought since I had some concerns and they had excellent customer service and went over everything with me. 5 stars for customer service, minus 2 for not actually fixing my problem read more

Just had my timing belt and oil/filter changed here... same great price, same great service.

Another great experience when my A/C part came in. They phoned me up, worked with my schedule to find a time that would work for me to come in, and had me in and out of there in less than two hours. Fast, friendly, and super comfy waiting area as always. Love it. Wish I had a Japanese car so that I had more reasons to come back! read more

Seriously, one of the first times I've ever gone to an automotive place and did not feel like they were trying to take advantage of me and gauge me at every opportunity. Quick, honest and polite. AND, I was not disgusted sitting in the waiting area (also rare.) read more

If could give this place ten stars I would. I've been going to Master Tech for 6 years and when I moved to the east bay finding another mechanic did not even cross my mind. I still drive the hour to Woodland to have Rich and his crew service my car. Highly recommended. read more

I bought a Subaru after my German import was viciously killed by a semi JUST SO I could bring my car to Master Tech and get the same great service my partner has been getting on her Camry for years. She and Richard are in a conspiracy to keep the Toyota going for 300K miles. It's already over 200K. YAY! read more

Rich, the owner, is a stand up guy. Fast service and fair prices. For anything I can't fix myself, I'm coming to Rich!!

im in the military so one of my cars is always at home , through out 8 years theses guys have taken care of me and my family with fair prices and absoulutley great service, out of 18 year dealing with mechanics I would not trust any body else but them with my car/truck, I had a show truck for 5 years and brought it to them and they did outstanding work no dents scratches, and great result, now im going to have them install a 9 inch posi diferential on my newest project a 1970 maverick , and even thought im 2500 miles away I have no worries that they will give me the right price and a fair one and the best of service for the least money sgt Theodore Dorazi , Active Army read more

My neighbor had recommended this shop so I thought I would bring my car in for a 90,000 mile service. They accomplished the work in addition to replacing a leaking radiator. The pricing was reasonable and the staff friendly. I got a call that the car was ready so we picked it up and once we pulled it in the garage I noticed a large amount of fluid leaking out from under the car. I opened the hood and to my surprise noticed that the lower radiator hose was partially installed and NOT CLAMPED! Owner, Richard was very apologetic and arranged a tow back to the shop for repair. Will I be a return customer...probably not. read more

The Best service and quality work. Wonderful people and in automotive business its hard to find honest people, well this business is VERY HONEST. Richard and his staff are caring and kind people. Yes they are in business to make money but they put people first. I don't give reviews very often but this one deserves one from me. read more

I recently went somewhere else and they told me it would cost about $200. I came here and asked them to checkit out and they said that the other place was just trying to make money and my car was fine. Plus they didn't charge me to look at my car, this is where I will come from here on out. Plus I like that they have nice couches to relax on. My roommate an I both tell people about this place even if they're from Davis. read more

I have been a long time customer of Master Tech for many years because they are honest, competent, and professional. They care about giving quality service and also value. Recently I had that proven once again when I had some serious repairs that needed to be done on my Jeep so wanted to write a review to encourage people to take their autos to Master Tech. I feel lucky that Woodland has such a high quality auto repair shop. read more

If you want a good honest no bull mechanic that will not get into your pockets like other grease mechanic. Go to master tech.

Master-Tech is the only place I will bring my 2008 Scion xD for repairs and regular maintenance. I drove out to California from Maine with my boyfriend in June of 2013 and had just had my front brakes replaced by a mechanic in Maine before the trip. The whole way out to California the car made a clunking sound over every bump in the road and I knew it had to be due to the brake job that was done prior to our departure (even after the brakes had been supposedly inspected twice by the mechanic who installed them). Long story short, a family member out here recommended Master-Tech, so I brought the car in and told them about the problem. The owner (or manager, I can't remember) came back out the lobby and asked that I follow him out to the bay where my car was and showed me that the mechanic in Maine had not installed one of the caliper bolts to hold my brakes in place. He then said the design of the frame of my car is what saved us from a horrible demise on I-80 somewhere in the middle of the US. He then helped me talk to the mechanic in Maine and take pictures of the damage (luckily not much) that was done to the vehicle further proving their mistake. Finally, he only charged me for the bolt itself and put my mind at ease thoroughly explaining what went wrong and how they would remedy the situation. Needless to say, I trust this mechanic more than any other I've used in the past. They are always are true to their word and great at explaining what needs to be done and why (and do not recommend anything more than what NEEDS to be done). Unlike the dealer, they do not charge you your first born for repairs that are done correctly the first time. Thank you Master-Tech! read more
