    OBD port 2000 E320 Wagon
    Peter D.

    Bob and his staff are excellent. Very knowledgeable fast and effecient. They repaired my OBD port wiring when all other shops turned me away. Thank you for your stellar knowledge and prompt execution of the tasks.

    They're about to work on my car.

    I don't go to El Sobrante for anything! I went to a school in the area and hated it (the experience and the people). So, I really wanted to go somewhere in Oakland or Berkeley. But I saw my guy in Berkeley and let him know that I needed a tune-up and an oil change and he asked, "what's an oil change?" So, he was not the one. I came here after asking for some quotes from others. I needed a tune-up and an oil change. My sister comes here and recommended them to me and I did contact them pre-pandemic and was not thrilled. But, I did need some work on my car and wanted someone reliable. So I called and made an appointment and they did what they said they would. I got my oil change and tune-up. They then checked my brakes, something that I was warned about, so I wasn't surprised. But coming here was easy. I made an appointment, arrived, and they took care of my car. I received a call about the brakes and I got them fixed. I also really like that they gave me a quote and the price didn't vary from it. So, when I went in, they had the filers that they had removed and were able to show them to me. They also showed me the brakes. Which I appreciated as well. They suggested another repair but I'll have that looked at in April during my easter break. Also, I need new tires in front, which I figured. But I have to say that I can see myself bringing my car here in the future for the work needed. Thanks so much for working on my car.

    Went in for a catalytic converter protection. They are fast friendly, and professional and charge a fair price. It is the place to go

    Frank Is Still There!!…read more A couple of years ago, Frank told me he would be retiring in the next calendar year. I took his word for it and didn't bother him for my auto repair needs earlier this year (2022). Then my every other year smog situation reared its ugly head, and I was faced with not passing--again. Mind you, my vehicle had passed with flying colors up until four years ago. Then Frank figured out it was a vacuum line. I believe I reviewed the situation then (2020). This time around, I had a feeling I wouldn't pass. The feeling was correct. My NO PPM values were way too high. I decided to take a chance and see who was currently at the helm of A & B. FRANK WAS THERE! I was beside myself with happiness to see him sitting behind the desk when I walked in. I reminded him of which vehicle I had and I told him I'd bring in the previous paperwork to job his memory. I won't go into all of the details in between as not everyone is a car nut like I am. Frank figured out it was the EGR valve that was throwing the NO readings off. He made time for me the following week when he could store the vehicle inside overnight. I brought it on a Tuesday and it was ready by Thursday afternoon. He even took it to get retested! There just doesn't exist this level of customer service in basically any business anymore. Frank is fair, has reasonable rates, and doesn't tell you tall tales. I hope he doesn't retire soon. He is such an asset to the community! Please tip him and his staff if you take your car there. I do and they deserve it!

    Needed the work fast and no other shops would take my car but this one would was pretty pricy but…read morenothing another shop wouldn't charge was reasonable got it done in 1 day and had my car running back up! nice guy

    Needed something replaced on my 2010 Scion xB; I got in touch with a local dealer in my area and…read morewas quoted $100 just for a diagnostic and then they'd provide a service quote for what work needed to be done. I already knew that I needed my serpentine belt changed due to it still being the OEM belt from when I first bought my car. After looking around, I came across Neoworks and made contact. A huge shout out to the team at Neoworks for the great service! I needed my serpentine belt replaced, and they handled it efficiently and with great communication. It's hard to find an honest, family-run shop like this. The whole process from quote to service was seamless. The owner is clearly very experienced, pricing was transparent and explained quite thoroughly and the turnaround time was very impressive. I'll definitely be back for future maintenance so if you're looking for reliable auto repair in El Sobrante or the East Bay, go to Neoworks. Truly a 5-star experience!

    Very nice guy...but my experience was fusterating & very stressful…read more I came in for an oil change & maintenance light would not turn off. Had no issues with my car...running smooth and just an oil change and diagnosis reading...once all the work was done, he didn't seem to remember why my car was here & he drained the battery on my car w the reading and couldn't figure out how to use the diagnostic reader & we both had to look. My car was making weird sounds and so much vibrations it was scary. He couldn't show me what was the reason because the battery was shot. He couldn't get the reader...I said the reader says - low battery I had to pay half the battery LOL I had to ask several times for proof what was done. Spent almost 5 to 6 hours there and then had to pick up next day..my fiancé went and he still had to ask for final paperwork. Disappointed wanted to like this place...highly do research and don't always follow good reviews...this was a horrible stressing experience
