Saved me $1414 getting my car fixed here! I had no idea that the other auto mechanic I've been…read moregoing to was so expensive. Someone recommended 1701 so I decided to give it a try. I made a call and the same repair that I was quoted as $480 at another local auto repair shop, Sebastian quoted me as about $250 dollars. And then the other repair of the right and left arms for some part of the engine that I was quoted as $1184 by the other Auto shop, Sebastian told me that it's normal wear and doesn't need to be repaired yet. Now it makes sense that the previous repair shop wanted to charge me $50 per bulb to put in when my bulbs went out on my car. So I went and got the bulbs myself at O'Reilly's and put them in myself the first time until I found out O'Reillys offers complementary bulb replacement. Between 1701 and O'Reillys, I think I may be able to survive and keep my car running. Grateful for honest affordable 1701 Auto Care! Thank you, Sebastian.

I brought my car to Bauerwerks and met Bryan, one of the most relaxed and down-to-earth mechanics I've ever met. He did a full inspection on the car, pointed out some problem areas, and we had a good discussion on how I could wrench on the car myself to solve these problems if I so desired. Since then, I've replaced the torn motor mount and replaced the 18 year old stock suspension with some high-speed aftermarket parts. I cannot recommend Bryan and Bauerwerks highly enough, this shop is a breath of fresh air in the auto scene.

The rate was super reasonable for what was done, as well. They also went above and beyond, IMO; a scraping noise started after the repair. I waited two weeks to see if it would go away. It didn't. So, I went back and explained the situation. They said to bring the car over ASAP and tbey would look at it. I did. The mechanic stopped what they were doing immediately, attended to the car, and resolved the issue. No extra fee. Beyond pleased! Thank you Thank you Thank you

My family has been coming here for over 20 years, and in all that time, we've never trusted anyone else with our cars or our peace of mind. I still remember being stranded in Southern California because my Volvo XC70 broke down. I called the local dealership and got a quote that I wasn't sure about. I reached out to Ali, and his depth of knowledge was staggering. He confirmed the pricing and was even able to accurately break down the labor and parts costs. He also gave me a few questions to ask just to be safe. That kind of reassurance, from hundreds of miles away, was priceless. Now that I drive a Lexus, Montclair Auto Tech is still the only place I'll take it for service or repairs. Their honesty, skill, and consistency are unmatched. I'm deeply grateful for this shop. They have my highest recommendation.

This Matt guy tries to cover up his mistakes. If you you screwed up, which you did, just admit it.

He wants you to change all of the components to make more money. What a scam. Like I said, all of the components he suggested I have NOT changed and the car has over 278,000+ miles since it was improperly fixed. Which I corrected on my own. You're lucky you got 1 star. If I could give zero stars I would.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner reports, obtained by KRON4 Wednesday, confirmed that one of the family members died by suicide and three family members were homicide victims. Thomas Russell Ocheltree's brother found the four bodies inside 930 Monterey Boulevard on October 8, the reports state. The brother was "performing a well-being check" on the family because he was unable to reach Ocheltree over the phone, according to the reports. After making a shocking and heartbreaking discovery, he called 911. Police officers and paramedics swarmed the large house. Police officers investigate a San Francisco home where four bodies were found inside on Oct. 8, 2025. (KRON4 Photo) The youngest victim was Ocheltree's 9-year-old daughter, Mackenzie Lou Ann Ocheltree. Investigators determined that she was shot once in her bedroom. Mackenzie's 12-year-old sister, Alexandra Grace Ocheltree, was shot twice in a different bedroom. Their 57-year-old father, Thomas Ocheltree, had been shot twice in the chest and once in the neck. According to the reports, the manner of death for the girls and their father were ruled as homicides. Paula Truong, 53, was Thomas Ocheltree's wife and the mother of Mackenzie and Alexandra. Truong's manner of death was determined to be a suicide, the reports state. Unlike her deceased family members, her body was not found lying in her bed. Truong was found inside the garage. A relative previously told KRON4, "My brother and his two precious daughters were victims of a horrific crime. Our family is shocked and devastated."
