The alignment itself took only about a 45 minutes, and the pricing was really fair. I'll definitely be back the next time I need an alignment.

If you know these cars, you know they're not the easiest to work on. These cars are basically my babies.

I neglected to do that bc I figured it couldn't cost that much to basically get a tire rotation and have them spend 15-20 min checking fluid levels and stuff. Not complicated AT ALL. Attached is what's needed. I was charged like $200 and was floored. Esp now that I'm due for my next routine maintenance and other places are quoting me $35 for a rotation. Maybe these guys are fine for actual repairs and serious mechanic work, but I don't appreciate being taken advantage of, which is quite common in this industry against women, which is sad.

I'm shocked. B.s. about OEM Parts! How long it took was 1.5 hrs! $1400.00 bricks and rotors is ridiculous, parts in labor. Parts put on my suv mercedes was Brembo. Price difference. Simon part in labor $1400.00, 1.5 worth at work! Other mechanic parts in labor $700.00, 1.5 worth of work! Always check how long it would take simon to do the work. Check with another shop before taking your car in to simon.To do the work. My mistake! You can make up your own decision. Simon cannot be trusted. I've been going there for I think, 6 or 7 yrs. Simon, why do I have to show the receipt to you? Who are you? I don't need you to be my mechanic anymore. Lol I see how the game is played. You're lucky I don't like fixing cars or getting involved in cars. What I know now I can open a shop next. Door to you and put you out of business. I don't want to waste my time on cars! You're the one that rip off your customers. I'm just telling your customers my experience for being a good customer 6-7 years, with you. I'm not questioning you on the work e for all this. So you're asking me for receipts, why would I give you receipts and give up my contacts. This work has been been done a week ago. I took a picture after having coffee and breakfast. That's why you see two rotors there. The mechanic was so quick. I wasn't going to post, but you keep opening your mouth. This is my third and final reply to u! I've been a good customer of yours. 6-7 years. Not one time I ever haggled about price. I'm a customer that drops off the car and wait for you to tell me how much. It's my fault for getting to comfortable with you. Throughout this experience i've learned where to source out materials on the cheap! Now, I just need to find a couple more shops to keep everyone on there honest. So thank you simon for that! If you really want to find out who it is, I'll give you three hints. 1. He's chinese. 2. He's in oakland. 3. He is honest. You can figure out if it's you or not. This post is going to hurt you more me. You just don't want to accept responsibility Simon. It's hard to justify $1400.00 for 1.5 hours of work part in labor. Thank you, Simon for putting me in this position. I know where the source, the parts now. Have a good rest day for your day. By the way, for your customers, understanding my relationship with Simon. We were friends enough where I gave simon a french bulldog for free for being a a good guy. Never asking for discount, just paying .What simon asked for. Like I said be careful.

This Matt guy tries to cover up his mistakes. If you you screwed up, which you did, just admit it. All of the suggestions Matt made that needed to change in my car did not affect its usage for many thousands of miles. To this day, none was changed and still runs great. He wants you to change all of the components to make more money. What a scam. Like I said, all of the components he suggested I have NOT changed and the car has over 278,000+ miles since it was improperly fixed. Which I corrected on my own. You're lucky you got 1 star. If I could give zero stars I would.

Fast forward to today, I had my car serviced for a faulty starter and bad alternator. I was quoted an insane amount at the dealership, but was quoted a much reasonable price here. It was smooth scheduling the appointment with Kam. Throughout the process, he was informative & communicative. He provided photos and videos and went above and beyond with updates! They were able to get my car done faster than their estimated time as well. It was such a relief working with them! They do fast, reliable and honest work. I highly recommend coming to their shop for any car troubles!

Seeing that I desperately needed a repair, they still squeezed me in for a quick assessment and repair. The whole situation was roughly half an hour from pulling off the wheel to cashing out. My tire runs fine and isn't bleeding out from the patch work. The cost was only $25, which is cheaper than what I've paid in the past at other locations. The only reason I'm removing a star is because they over-torqued my lug nut and my dealership couldn't do a tire rotation without snapping the stud. Make sure to confirm your torque specs before having service done here I guess.

Brett and his garage repair shop is great/top-notch! The best mix of high quality and rate around!…read more(trust me, I've called around to 35 shops for their labor rates) I've been taking my cars to Precision Auto Care, but I recently bought a cheap 20 year old used car (hey, it only had 107k miles on it!), so I didn't need any premium pricing costs towards its maintenance. So I went about searching for the best deal around (considering I didn't want to put in too much into a car that are in its last years). After an exhaustive search, you can trust me in saying you won't find better (mix of still high quality, but not premium high quality price cost to go with it) -- you ain't gonna beat his/their rate & quality at $120/hr. Brett is an earnest, eager guy who wants to do all he can to help you out. So I imagine the rest of his team/shop is reflective of that. He's on the younger side compared to other mechanics who run their own shop -- who end up really set in their ways and many have become complacent or too presumptive to be open to anything else or more. I brought in that used car to get a good look over and to confirm what the Pre-Purchase Inspection observed about it. He was able to confirm some things, and clear out some other concerns after taking a closer look at it. Most importantly; he was able to catch the things that he should've, and didn't fabricate more merely to pad on costs -- ultimately making/exampling him as trustworthy. He has since fixed/troubleshooted the car having trouble starting (he diagnosed/figured replacing/upgrading the spark plugs; which did the trick), replaced headlights, and simple oil change. In all, I saw that he properly charged the time appropriately with partial to his per/hour rate -- which, again, speaks to his integrity & trustworthiness (as many sleazy underhanded shops would charge a full hour's work even if it took a fraction of the time). He instilled confidence & faith so much that I brought my brand new 2026 SUV to him (which, I imagine, I would've brought to Precision Auto Care in San Leandro normally to do the high end care) to get the catalytic converter shield installed. His guy did a good job (at the very least I have no complaints, but I'm not so knowledgeable to know much more of a difference). My only qualm about it is I was quoted 2 hours of work, but I did end up having to hang around and wait for 3 hours. But, again to speak to impressive work ethic & integrity, was charged 2 hours. His place processes with impressive paperwork, listing every single aspect looked at and worked on, pricing, cost break down. What makes me a bit nervous is that when I sign for the estimate, it doesn't show cost on it; so if any disputes, any prearranged pricing/cost wouldn't be binding. If he gave less of a trustworthiness vibe, it would be best to insist it be on the estimate. But I get the feeling that I imagine if there was any dispute, Brett would do his absolute best and bend backwards to understand, accommodate, and make it right (even if it would go against established practices). Parking is very challenging. If you can't simply pull in, I suggest calling and talking to him to figure out how he wants it (it's what I've had to do each time). A few times, he would move his VW car from the street parking spot in front of his shop to place my car, others he had used the unused parking lot around the corner (which has since been fenced off; so that's a no-go any longer), and last time he moved a car at the front of the garage to have my SUV enter -- if you aren't confident or new to your car, I HIGHLY urge & suggest you simply have him bring it in; I know for sure I would damage my car (after I initially gave an attempt), while he successfully did it with confidence/experience. And when the car was done, they placed the car in the aforementioned unused parking lot (no-go anymore), or this last time around the corner down a whole block. I drive the 8 miles just to bring it to Brett and Car Care Service; because he offers the best quality service at the best rate around -- being eager to help, decent, high work ethic/trustworthiness, capable, and I know I don't have anything to worry about with him/them.
