If you are looking for cheap, backyard mechanic work and aren't too worried about quality work then…read morethis is the place for you. If you are looking for some quality work with professionals who will back their work then steer clear of James and his cronies. I had a major issue with my BMW's check engine light and a bunch of codes. These guys fixed 8 different things with a bill of $1,400 and told me all was good. On the way home the check engine light came back on and it still ran like crap. They tried a couple more fixes and another $300 bill but still no dice. I finally took the car to O2 Motorsports and they found out right away that the head gasket was shot. They thought it was hilarious that Jame's guys couldn't figure it out. I'm not sure if economy did this on purpose to jack some extra $$$ from me or if they really are that incompetent but either scenario is wrong. I have been using this place for years and referred lots of clients to them. Up to this point I had been happy with the service. It was surprising how quickly everything went sour. When I asked for a refund James was so abusive and confrontational. He said I needed to make better life choices because I was driving a piece of crap and he'd been doing me a favor by keeping it on the road for so long. It's easy to give guarantees and promises on radio ads, but be warned: he won't back them up when it comes down to it. There are quite a few other people who have similar reviews. If you read through them note how quick James is to refute their claims and bash their character. Ask yourself this: Why would so many people be writing negative review if there wasn't some truth to them? Yes business is booming at Economy but it's because they are cheap and get most simple things done right most times. Don't gamble with a fix that may require a more qualified repair facility.

Been coming here for years for work on my Honda. If you have a basic car and want to save a lot of…read moremoney on your maintenance and repairs, James and his staff are the people who will accomplish that. Their prices beat anyone around and they seem to always do great work. The occasional things get missed like exact oil levels or maybe a alternator belt wasn't tensioned enough, but out of the many visits I've had (unfortunately), their work has majorly been perfect. For performance vehicles, it's obvious you should stick with performance vehicle mechanics, as they are charging you way more to be as meticulous as the vehicle requires. For everything else, James and Economy is the shop I'd recommend.

I…read morehave never trusted a mechanic to ethically and honestly tell me what my car NEEDS versus what can wait. I trust Stephen. As a mechanically-disinclined person, trust is the most important thing for me with my mechanic. Thankfully, he is also very affordable! In fact, if there is a way he can save me money on parts he will do it. He helped me pick out a new undercarriage on Amazon rather than go through the manufacturer, which would have been way more expensive for the same quality. I've had my tune ups, brakes, and cylinders done by 530 Auto Repair. I just bought a new vehicle and will be scheduling an appointment to check it over.

On the way to his shop, it looks like an rutal area. But don't be discouraged by it. Indeed, he had very good skills, and a nice dog. He fixed the car for me with very detailed explanations.

Mike put in an engine from a totalled vehicle, and brought my car back to better-than-factory shape for half the price I would have paid in Berkeley. His prices are really excellent. He then delivered the car to me, probably spending 8 hours on the road from Anderson to the Bay Area and back to his shop. That's a level of service unheard of these days. There is no sign on the shop, and it's a mom-and-pop operation with very low overhead. He takes phone messages and texts, but don't get worried if he doesn't respond for a while, he stays focused when doing mechanical work and doesn't look at the phone. We figured that if we ever needed major auto repairs again, it would be cheaper to stay in Anderson for a week and have Mike do it, than have it done at home.
