I recently took my Porsche in for a brake job, and had an outstanding experience. They were super…read morefast, efficient, and very detailed in explaining and showing what needed to be done. I love the fact that I was able to hold on to my vehicle until the parts arrived and were ready to be installed. Time-wise, I dropped the car off on Tuesday before work and was already picking it up after work on Wednesday. Had it not been for a wrong part being delivered, through no fault of their own, I would have had the car back the same day. But even with a one-day delay, I'm still happy. The price was a little shocking as I was expecting to pay more (and yes they did use OEM parts)! Surely cost-wise, service-wise, and people-wise, they are much better to deal with than Porsche themselves. Benicia Automotive Center is an excellent choice when it comes to fulfilling all your automotive needs in one location.

They gave me a ride home while they were working on my vehicle and picked me up when it was done.

I reached out to him for an AC compressor service on my daughter's car. He provided a very reasonable quote, was able to complete the job the same day, and used OEM parts as promised. The work was done on time and with great attention to detail. If your vehicle needs service, give Alex a try--you won't regret it. I'll definitely be coming back.

No worries Alex agreed to obtain the the correct parts and the agreed quote changed but all for the better. Alex did a great job on my car. Will start to take my vehicle here often.

Jazz was wonderful to us on the phone, and you got the feeling that these guys were proud of what they do and they were genuine people, not a shop trying to scam you out of your hard-earned money. They were honest and straightforward in what they did to our car. We have a 2010 Honda CRV and the AC compressor needed to be replaced, which is a very expensive job. We knew it was going to be expensive, but we also wanted someone that we could totally trust so they didn't charge us another $1,000 more. I had a good feeling when we walked into the waiting room. Jazz greeted us right away, as well as the mechanics walking in and out; they all greeted everybody in the room, telling them hello. You just don't get that at normal places. We have never been here, and because of the wonderful reviews, we thought we'd definitely want to give them a shot. We do not regret using them to repair our car. When it all came down to the total $$$, Jazz was able to save us another $300 off the initial cost because he was able to source a slightly less expensive AC compressor for the car. They also follow up with you a week later to see if everything is okay; you get the feeling that this is run by some really good, honest people that don't want to rake you over the coals like some of the other shops. I would highly recommend giving them a call and talking to them if you're hesitant about it. You'll probably have the same experience I did. I would definitely go back to them for any of my car issues in the future.
