    Had my stock exhaust replaced with an aftermarket one, done in 1 1/2 hours for a very good price. No complaints, highly recommend. 10/10

    Alex is top notch. Fair and honest, if it's not broke he won't fix it. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

    1. What is their hourly charge for labor on any repairs? 2. Cost of an oil change and 3k mile…

    150 an hour. Varies by vehicle for oil changes. Most vehicles are 85$ for full synthetic oil change unless you have a v8 or a bmw or mercedes etc.

My family member recently brought their car there despite me saying not to and now there are several new issues with her car. On top of the new issues Son filled her tires to 50 psi when it clearly states on the tire and the door it's only supposed to be at 35 psi. I think he's too overworked to really take his time to do a good job. Do yourself a favor and don't go here.

I'd been putting it off because finding the right shop (quality service, fair prices, honest recommendations, and not condescending) is so daunting. I enlisted my Dad who owns a dealership in LA to help me find the right Bay Area auto shop. He took the task very seriously and talked to 5+ shops. When he spoke with Martinez Auto Tech, he could instantly tell they were knowledgeable and they gave feedback on what was and wan't necessary for 60,000 mile service. Their prices beat out other local shops as well. When I dropped the car off they were able to take care of everything in one day (spark plugs, oil change, CVT drain and fill, brake flush, rear and front trans axel fluid) for under $1,000. To top it off they were so kind and happy to answer questions along the way. I never felt uncomfortable, unlikely majority of shops I've been to solo as a woman. 5 days later, our VW Golf died and wouldn't restart. I had it towed to their shop while they were closed over the weekend. I called them Monday morning to see if they could figure out what was going on. They were so accommodating and happy to squeeze me in without an appointment. They figured out it was an issue with the alternator and had the car back and running before the day was over. They didn't even charge me for charging up the car since I had just done my Subaru service. I really appreciate a small, local business that values their customers. This was such an act of kindness that I won't forget. I'll never service my cars elsewhere as long as I live in this area and will always recommend them to anyone - especially if you aren't a car expert and need honest guidance and recommendations. Thank you so much Martinez Auto Tech!

I brought in my vehicle with a complicated air suspension issue, and instead of taking a quick guess or throwing parts at the problem, Tom took the time to really dig in. He did the research, asked the right questions, and used his technical expertise to accurately diagnose and fix the issue the right way. That level of care and knowledge is rare. This is exactly the kind of service we need right here in Benicia--honest, skilled, and committed to doing the job correctly. Tom, you've earned a very loyal customer. For years, I've trusted Big O with our family's tires, brakes, and alignments--and this experience just reinforced why. Highly recommend.
