What really stood out, though, was how honest and considerate he was throughout the whole process. He explained everything clearly and gave me multiple options based on my budget, which I really appreciated. As a woman with very little car knowledge, going to a mechanic can be intimidating -- we've all heard the horror stories of people, especially women, being overcharged or taken advantage of. But Mando was the complete opposite. I felt respected, informed, and genuinely looked out for. I highly recommend Mando's Auto Care to anyone who wants trustworthy, transparent, and quality service. I'll definitely be returning for any future car needs!

My decision to switch came after several frustrating and costly trips to the VW dealership, where mechanics repeatedly failed to properly diagnose and address my car's complex issues, often overcharging me for what turned out to be unnecessary "repairs." Armando is the absolute opposite of that experience. He is extremely trustworthy, transparent, and genuinely cares about his clients and their vehicles. He takes the time to clearly explain what the problem is and what the best repair options are. I live 45 minutes away, and I gladly make the drive every time my car needs service. If you are looking for a reliable, expert mechanic who won't take advantage of you, look no further than Armando!

The owner, John Nakayama, has the perfect balance of being extremely knowledgeable and savvy, trustworthy, and he is also a very kind person. Cost for repairs was neither cheap nor expensive-I found the costs were reasonable for the high quality of work, and peace of mind. John was very patient with me-answering all of my questions, and he was very thorough and concise with his explanations. My car is now running beautifully! I highly recommend John and his amazing team at Nakayama Motorsports!

Let me start by saying Do Not Get Your Car Serviced at Auto Doctor in San Leandro unless you DON'T…read morewant your car repaired, and you enjoy burning your money in a fireplace. During the summer I had my 2004 Honda Element serviced at Auto Doctor. Years back I took my same car to this place and they did a good job on my brakes. At that time this place was under a different owner and different mechanic, as well as the person who runs the front desk. Fast forward this past summer of 2025 the Auto Doctor is now under new ownership and the owner is the mechanic, along with a new girl who runs the front desk named Sandra. Summer of 2025, my air conditioner needed a total repair. Eric, who is the owner/mechanic did the repair on my air conditioner. I had to take a road trip and it was 98 degrees F and my A/C on full blast just got just cold enough to neutralize the cabin but never was totally cold. I took the car back and Eric claims he did the repair totally, and because the age of my car it made sense to him that the A/C wouldn't be as cold as when I bought the car. Hmm, it was super cold before it went out, so the age had nothing to do with it. Eric talked to me like the typical mechanic dealing with an uninformed customer. I came to this place because I needed to save some money, but it wasn't much savings in comparison to a car dealership. I told Eric that I worked for Hendrick Automotive for 6 years, so I definitely got advice from the mechanics there before Eric serviced it. Eric charged me just over $2000 for the A/C service. A month or so later the next repair turned out to be the absolute worst work done on my car from Eric. My car was severely idling up and down while driving it. I took the car to Auto Doctor and Eric claimed to have fixed the issue and charged me $700+. When I came to pick up the car and pay for the repair Sandra informed me that Eric said that my brakes severely needed replacing and that includes the rotors front to back, since they do not resurface rotors. I will continue more about the brakes shortly. After the repair, upon starting the car it always idled up very high before coming down to "normal". Seemed more like patch job from Eric. I continued to drive it since Sandra (the lady running the front desk said I had a 60 or 90 day warranty on service. In December 2025 my car started idling down again while driving like it was going to shut off. I drove it to Auto Doctor and Sandra said that Eric is closing the shop for 2 weeks for Christmas vacation. That's totally unacceptable for a car repair shop to close for that length of time, especially if customers are having post issues with a repair job. I ended up taking my car to San Leandro Honda, as I should've done in the first place. Honda kept the car for 24 hours and called me, informing me that from the previous repair Eric had disconnected my radiator fan and did not re-connect it. Furthermore, Honda took pictures of the spark plugs which were totally fried and one of them was cracked. Honda stated that was what was causing the car to misfire at higher speeds making the car appear to shut down while driving. Why didn't Eric check my spark plugs? Very odd. There was also a specific piece called the Transmission side mount. It needed to be replaced, which is also part of the reason the car was misfiring. Why didn't Eric mention that needed replacing? San Leandro Honda fixed all of that and charged me $1000. The car starts up like it did when I first bought it brand new 21 years ago. It drives perfectly and the engine is very smooth and quiet. So what service did Eric actually do? I asked Sandra if Eric did a patch job on my car and she said no, of course. Let's talk about the brakes. As I mentioned, Sandra said that Eric stated that my brakes needed to be replaced no later than early January to avoid any further damage and the price for repair would be about $600. While getting the other repair done I asked San Leandro Honda to do a brake check. They stated that my brakes are near perfect. The front brake pads were 6mm on the outer and 4mm on the inner, and the rear brakes were 6mm inner and outer. Hmm, Eric lied to me. He tried to swindle me out of a very costly and unneeded brake repair. If a dealership says a repair is not necessary or needed then they are telling the truth, because dealerships have a reputation for charging higher prices and looking for anything wrong with a customer's car to get more business. Eric is a scam artist. Auto Doctor San Leandro is a scam outfit. While Sandra (the lady running the front office) appears to be honest, she is just regurgitating to the customer what Eric tells her, so I will not fault her for that, but I'm certain she knows Eric's tactics. No quality service from Auto Doctor San Leandro. No value if you have to keep brining the car back to get it fixed again for the same problem under 60 days later, then being charged again. Avoid this place, unless you hate your money!!

They do really good work here, and are probably about 10% cheaper than my other mechanic I used to…read morego to in Hayward. It's also within walking distance of my house so I don't have to pay for an Uber/wait for a ride when I drop or pick my car back up. I've had an oil change done here, a front headlight replaced, and they fixed a recurring issue I was having w/my blind spot detection system and key fob -- the latter something my prior mechanic was not able to fix for some reason. The blind spot detection system error light did come back on after about a week, but I think it requires more than just resetting the code/calibrating. I will just live w/that for now. The only demerit I would give is for when your car is ready. Each time I've dropped off, I've been told the shop would call me when they had an update or when the work was fixed (expecting 2 calls), but I never got any calls each visit -- I had to physically call and usually had to leave a voicemail which was not always returned. They are pretty busy so I get it, but you would think they'd want to call you to get your car out of there to clear up the queue when it was done. The last time I went -- I had initially dropped my car off around 8:15am or so and didn't hear back around 3:45pm yet (was told to expect an update around 11-12p) -- so I was forced to walk there, not knowing if my car was ready or not, and after waiting awhile found out my car was ready. It still took another 20-25 minutes to get my bill, pay, and get the car brought up to me based on the size of the lot and the amount of cars that are in that lot (every mechanic seems to have tons of cars in their lot that are not driveable taking up a ton of real estate on premises). It started to rain too and the waiting area itself is quite small inside -- I ended up waiting outside under an awning for my car. They didn't seem to be in any rush to get my vehicle out -- not sure if it was just too busy that day or they are just not that assertive with check out procedures. It'd be nice if even if they didn't call you w/an update, that they'd at least call you when the car was ready and then got you ready to check out fairly quickly, especially if they'd had the car for around 6-7 hours for not incredibly comprehensive service. I will continue to go, but will expect to have to proactively show up towards the end of the day and hope I can get my vehicle out in a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise, they do very solid and affordable work.
