I had a great experience with Chris at Precision Mobile Mechanic this past weekend. My Promaster…read morevan started having issues late Friday night, and even though I reached out pretty late, Chris got back to me early Saturday morning and was able to come out for a diagnostic while I was at work. I really appreciated how trustworthy and professional he was. I felt completely comfortable handing over my keys while I was working a couple of blocks away. He was prompt, communicative, and kept me informed every step of the way. He diagnosed the issue clearly, and I even ran it by my regular out-of-state mechanic, who agreed with Chris's assessment, which gave me extra confidence. Since I rely on my van for work, timing was critical. Chris went above and beyond by coming back out on Sunday with with the parts and did the repair. He got everything taken care of, including replacing a transmission solenoid and servicing the transmission fluid. Also, installing my new wiper blades. Thanks to his accurate diagnosis, I was able to repair part of the transmission instead of going down the road of an unnecessary full rebuild, which would have been far more expensive and time-consuming. Just as importantly, he helped me avoid losing income by getting my van back up and running quickly. On top of that, I felt the pricing was fair and reasonable, especially considering the convenience of a mobile service and the quick turnaround over the weekend. I'm incredibly grateful to be back on the road with my van running like normal again. Chris was thorough, reliable, and truly went the extra mile. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a mobile mechanic.

Definitely left an impression for a lot to be desired…read more... I called and spoke with Sylvester, who told me it's $150/hour labor rate, $150 for diagnostics; but he offers to wave 50% off the diagnostics job if the job ends up going to him/his team/shop in the end. Sylvester seems nice enough, personable and relaxing conversationalist enough when I talked on the phone and when I dropped off the car. I wish the positive impression there translated to a more positive experience or instilling any positive confidence in... I bought a very old used car (20 year old car; but under 110k miles), and didn't need the premium pricing for maintenance, considering I don't want to put in too much into a car that is in its last years (for reference, I usually bring my cars to Precision Auto Care in San Leandro). Based on location, labor rate, high rating ratio (and compared to other local repair shops at a similar rate), and some reviews, I chose to try this place out to give my car a good look over. I wanted to see if his shop would be able to confirm/observe some of the same the things they should've from the Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) I had done, and didn't fabricate more merely to pad on costs. In the end, I was not impressed... After dropping it off for the day, when I came to pick it up, this was the outcome (for the $150 to get an official after-sale inspection "Diagnostic & Analysis; Potential Issues"); Sylvester gave me the most generic, plain, perfunctory assessment! He basically merely pointed out the easily observable & obvious/superficial; showing it wasn't given any kind of in depth inspection. All he gave, specifically, was that the gear number indicator isn't accurate (who cares, it's from 2005, it's not going to show when it momentarily goes down to 2nd or 3rd gear after cruising at 4th), and that "it's old". That's it. He went on about how it's an old car, so not in great shape (yeah it's old, but was under 110k miles with no major accidents or issues and had every service milestone), and that it needs a (what I imagine a still pretty costly) basic tune up before anything else can be figured out...! He claimed it could barely be expected & trusted to drive to as far as San Jose (from Hayward). I asked him about any of the findings from the PPI (transmission needs tune-up, brakes look worn, serpentine belt looks worn down, parking brake could be tighter, various evidence of small leaks), and he merely shrugged and kept pushing for the basic tune up because it's old before anything else. I then specifically asked him what was observed about the brakes, and he again shrugged and nonchalantly responded "well...it stops..." What kind of response is that?! I know what a proper inspection looks like (shot out to SafeBuy); I don't think he or his team even looked at it -- merely test drove it a little bit, took surface-level observations, and didn't even bother to inspect even the most important & vital parts (even as it's not even small compact components)! He couldn't even take a credit card (machine was acting up), or give a proper receipt. I've driven it for 7 months now, and put 13k miles on it (because I work in San Jose from San Leandro; going against his wrong assessment) -- I've brought it to 2 other mechanics who confirmed most things from the PPI, and dispelled a few others that weren't as concerning as initially observed (PPI can only inspect so extensively); I did get a transmission tune-up and the spark plugs needed to be replaced, but it's worked great all this time (opposite to what Sylvester said). And none of which was observed or brought up by him/them. They might be competent enough, and great in other situations and for other people (hence more than 1 star). But after it all, I felt it ended up being a waste of money with Exodus Auto Repair - with bad generic uninformative not-complete diagnostics. In the end, if that's the effort and comprehensiveness of the inspection he'd give at the base/first level, how can I trust him and his team for more in depth troublesome issues & major repairs?!

Dealing with an accident is never a pleasant experience, but EV Central made the entire process…read moremuch easier for me. I'm new to SF and wasn't familiar with local body shops, so I started by searching on Google and reading reviews on both Google and Yelp. EV Central had fewer reviews than some of the other shops in the area, but the reviews they did have were excellent, and the before-and-after photos of their repair work gave me confidence. The name "EV Central" also stood out to me since I drive an EV and wanted a shop that understood EVs. When I called, I was connected with Randy, who was just as friendly and helpful over the phone as he was in person. He walked me through the entire process step-by-step, including the inspection, insurance supplement, parts ordering, repair timeline, and when I could expect my car to be ready. Everything happened exactly as he explained. What I really appreciated was that they didn't just look at the bumper and visible accident damage. They inspected other areas of the car as well to make sure there weren't any additional issues. They ended up finding accident-related damage that another shop could have easily missed, and they were able to get everything repaired properly and covered. Johnson and the office manager also kept me updated and informed throughout the process via text, which made the experience much less stressful. PLUS, they helped cover some of the deductible, which was a huge added bonus. When it was time to pick up the car, it was fully repaired, fully detailed, and they had even applied ceramic coating to the paint, which is not something most body shops would normally do. This level of service is rare in the body shop industry and is exactly what makes EV Central stand out. EV Central really takes care of their customers and does excellent work. I highly recommend them, especially if you have an EV.

I had been dealing with a clicking/knocking noise when turning or on an incline for a while, but Tesla had repeatedly failed to replicate it and wouldn't take action. Randy and his team not only replicated the noise under two different conditions, but documented torn lateral link and compliance arm bushings on both sides with clear photos. That documentation made all the difference. I was able to bring it back to Tesla and get the front lower lateral links, compliance arms, and an alignment covered under warranty - something I hadn't been able to accomplish on my own. Randy was super responsive from the start, laid out my options clearly, and the shop itself was clean and professional. And for SF, the labor rates are very fair - a pleasant surprise in a city where everything costs a premium. If you have a Tesla (or any EV), this is the place to go. Highly recommend.

I wanted to make sure I followed up because I know my review will mean something for this business. I brought my classic Toyota Land Cruiser to Nayarit Transmission in East Oakland for a transmission fluid change. From the start, I felt at ease. Yes, there's a security dog on-site, but the way the owner treats him says everything!he's clearly part of the family, not just for show. As someone who loves dogs, I really respected that. The owner walked me through the whole process, explained why a higher-quality filter gasket was worth it (and he was right the one I had wasn't great), and even saved the old fluid to show the work was done right. He got the job done faster than I expected and at a more-than-fair price. This shop is built on honesty, hard work, and family values. In today's world, that's rare. I highly recommend Nayarit Transmission if you want quality work and someone you can truly trust with your car.

Although I appreciate that they didn't charge a diagnostic fee, I'm really disappointed with my…read moreexperience. I brought my car in due to an intermittent gear slipping issue, which I had already traced to a solenoid problem--a very common issue with my Pontiac G6. The symptoms only occurred twice, very briefly. My check engine light came on both times but turned off on its own. I was still able to drive the car on the freeway at full speed with no issues. The problem only showed up during city stop-and-go traffic. I specifically asked if they could just replace the solenoid, and was told no. Instead, I was told I "only had gears 1 and 2" and that I'd need a $4,800 transmission rebuild--which is objectively false, as I literally drove the car 70+ mph on the freeway both before and after leaving the shop. My engine light was off before coming to the shop, turned on once at the shop, then turned back off shortly after leaving. There is no way my car had only gears 1 & 2 I know what that feels like as it happened twice briefly. So to say this to me is insane. Mind you wouldn't have been able to go more than 25 with out the car struggling they must have assumed I don't know a thing about cars. Possibly because I'm a woman and I went alone. They also claimed the solenoid was too difficult to access without replacing the computer and warned me about my car's mileage, as if that meant it wasn't worth fixing. But then, on my way out, they admitted it's a "really great car" and "this is the only issue." It felt manipulative. I decided to trust my gut, went to a different shop, and had the solenoid replaced--and now my car runs perfectly fine. No rebuild needed. If I hadn't known what I was talking about, they would've gladly let me spend thousands on a completely unnecessary repair. Trust yourself. Do your research. Don't let fear-based upselling push you into something you don't need. Also from reading the reviews it sounds like the routinely tell their customers they need a rebuild and successfully do the rebuild. (more than likely something very easily replaceable) However a good transmission shop doesn't just rebuild, they properly and honestly diagnose and repair. He also tried selling me cars on the way out. Notice how he hasn't replied to this yelp review and also told me he feels bad for me in the text? Very unprofessional I don't need your pitty I needed honesty which I didn't get from this shop. He also told me don't buy a used car you can't guarantee you won't have problems it's best if you fix this one with us. Also told me not to go to another shop because id want a local shop lol
