Oakdale Auto and Tire

I reached out to Jay at Lemon Protector to have them inspect a used car I was considering…read more Although the car looked clean with a highly rated Carfax and Autocheck, I wanted some expert review. I looked at a number of mobile inspection companies and the reviews are horrendous and include inexperienced inspectors and useless reports. Talking with Jay, I was immediately impressed by his experience and he was able to inspect the car the next day. The inspection was thorough and identified a number of issues (e.g. necessary maintenance that had not been completed, minor body damage, error codes, etc.) that would have led to over $6k in maintenance costs for me. Jay also called me to discuss the detailed report with pictures and to share his experience and impressions. Overall, highly recommend this company for any pre-purchase inspection to avoid surprises.

I hired Lemon Protector for a pre-purchase inspection expecting a detailed report as advertised on…read moretheir website. What I received was a basic code scan and three photos (two of minor scratches and one of tire tread). I never received a comprehensive written report, despite multiple follow-ups. They later claimed they emailed me the report. I checked thoroughly, including spam folders, and nothing was ever sent. Worse, their inspection completely missed visible exterior damage to the passenger-side mirror housing, damage that a BMW dealership later confirmed was preexisting and caused the turn signal not to work. Their follow-up was dismissive, and they refused to issue a refund. I DO NOT recommend Lemon Protector and would caution anyone considering them. This experience was both costly and frustrating.

I asked if there was anyway they can work with me with the price and the flat out said no. Not only that but they were so rude and cold that not even once did they ask if I was ok from the accident.

I should have gotten on here years ago to give these guys five stars. They are kind, honest, and fair priced. I have been getting my cars serviced here for at least 13 years. These guys always give my car the full checkup while it's in for an oil change, making sure my fluids are good and my tire pressure is right bc I definitely don't check that stuff on my own lol. occasionally while they have my car in for maintenance they have thrown me a call to let me know my car is in need of something like tires or brakes. They never just do the work assuming I want the work done! One of the guys will call to explain what needs service, how urgent it is, and what my options are for the best price. My girls and I trust this team and would recommend you give them a chance to impress you, I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I have been looking a long time for a solid and reputable auto repair facility. Oakdale Auto and Tire is certainly the answer. Every person in the business is knowledgeable and honest. I have had a dozen repairs here, some extensive, and they have been both reasonable with prices and always spot on with the repairs needed. They never push their services, on the contrary; they provide all the information needed to make an informed decision. My family and I are extremely happy with this business and highly recommend them. Honest, reliable and knowledgeable. I have recommended them to many friends and I know they feel the same as I do. Thank you very much Oakdale Auto and Tire!!! read more

The mechanic and owner was quite friendly and very courteous definitely seem like a great local business.
