SAL Auto Repair - Body Shops Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

Honest mechanic and great knowledge of Toyota cars. Been going there for years. Great prices too.

Hey Everyone , I wanted to write a quick review about this Shop. This past week my Honda Fit had an issue on my commute home from work =( I do the regular maintenance and was puzzled by the fact that my car would not accelerate when pressing the gas. I could go 20 with the gas pedal to the floor. I was beside myself naturally so a friend of mine recommended I tow to Sal's. He was so friendly and explained everything in detail . As a single Mom I knew nothing about vehicles and he explained what was happening and how he would repair it . He was very thorough and made sure I understood the process , the costs and how long it would take to be repaired. I also learned that he had worked at a dealership for imports for many years which eased my mind that he knew my car well. He repaired my car quickly , communicated if there was a change from the original plan , and he billed a fair price. I will be bringing my car there for any future repairs. If you need a repair I would and do recommend Sal's Auto Repair to my friends & family ! Thank you Sal! read more

ONE OF THE LAST HONEST MECHANICS! Salvador is a highly-qualified mechanic. Walking into his office, I noticed framed certificates of accomplishment all over the walls, many of them from his several years at Toyota. He is patient and answered every question I had about the parts needed for my Honda and how the parts work. Not once did he seem frustrated or hurried as so many other mechanics have been. He gave clear and reasonable recommendations. I never would have guessed this area existed, even after growing up in SJ. He's not the easiest to find, but well worth the search! I highly recommend his services and will be back for routine auto care! read more

A little out of the way but worth the effort to find. Great service, fair pricing and punctuality of my car as promised. My car work fabulous! read more

This guy is a rip off to females who take their cars to him. He doesn't know how to do any major repairs. My girlfriends car was taken in for a problem that was a minor electronic problem and he told her she needed a clutch replaced. Once the clutch was replaced the first day of driving he was told there was no change in the issue. After frequent calls and taking the car back and forth, she was neglected to the point that the new clutch burned out again! He then wanted to blame her driving for not knowing how to drive a manual shift that she has been driving for 20 years. He then wanted to charge her full price of $850 for putting a new clutch in again. We told him he wasn't going to get the full amount and he came to $450. ended up we gave up at $250. When the clutch was replaced, the same problem was there and he didn't want to accept that he wasn't doing his job right. We took the car back and he finally called in a "partner", which my girlfriend tells me in the entire length of time she has used him, she has never seen another person working for him. He then showed Sal what the issue was from the beginning. The electronic sensor in the distributor was not working correctly. So after $1050 dollars it should have been less than $100. Now he will not return calls for another issue that he has caused during this entire deal. Stay away! Stay very far away! from this mechanic read more
