Great for all car fixes. They do body shop and maintenance repair there. I took my Lexus, Porsche, Mini Cooper and Miata.

I have been going here for years (around 15 years) and highly recommend it to my friends and colleagues as they have always been super consistent, honest and reliable. The owner and his team are kind and are transparent about the costs and do a great quality job. You can also tell that they have a lot of happy clients when their lot is packed with cars and they receive cards hanging on their walls. read more

I think its funny that searching for Yelp reviews from the iPhone app vs Blackberry app vs on the computer and you'll get sometimes way different results. I was looking for a place to change my oil and I've yet to go to the same place twice because I always get an oil change when I feel like it so I always look for a place that happens to be near where I'm at. So I called to several places in Santa Clara for an estimate on a regular oil change and all of them asked me the same questions about the make, model, and year of my car. I called Foreign Affair and they told me 50 bucks. This was the second place I called and I spoke to Calvin and he quoted me 50 and then it wouldn't be a long of a wait. I went to the shop Monday morning at 8:30am. Don Kim helped me and he was really nice. I didn't have to do anything. Took my car to the back of the garage and brought it back to the front when they were finished. It took them about 30 minutes and they didn't try to upsell me on anything. Gave me my printed receipted. Took card yay. And I was on my way. Its right next to the SJ airport off of Central Expressway or near the 101. Its such a good deal. I'll most likely come back when I'm due again. read more

Great job done with great price. My Subaru outback needed to replace the rear bumper with matched paint. They finished within 1.5 days and the paint was perfectly matched. The price they charged was 60-70% of other body shops. They even clean the inside and outside of my car beautifully like new. I strongly recommend to go to there if you need a body work. read more

Don fixed me up REAL good got into an accident and my attornet recommended The Way. I live in SF and this was definitely worth the drive to get fixed. Don even did the pleasure of fixing up some other dents i had on my great. Great service, great communication, very quick service. Highly recommend this body shop read more

Had two damaged bumpers. Front from a parking lot accident; the back from a rear-end collision. The wonderful team at The Way fixed both within a week. They delivered a day sooner than they promised. Good team to work with read more

First time going here, as a referral. They were very kind, professional, and trustworthy.

Overall I am extremely satisfied, and recommend that if you are experiencing car problems and are looking for a trustworthy place that will do a great job, definitely don't hesitate on coming here. -They helped me with issues on my 2019 86, in case your wondering. read more

Don has always been an honest mechanic. he'll even show you what the original parts will cost vs free market. he'll tell you right off whether the damage requires repair ASAP vs can-wait kind of deal. he'll give you options to go with cheap stuff vs more costly accessories for better performance or long lasting sake. he's very friendly, always picks up his cell phone and ready for consultation - even without getting your car fixed there, he'll be happy to tell you what to do. i took my car to a different mechanic, it'll take them the whole day to repair the car for $750 service charge. when i had Don work on it, he charged only 2/3 for only half day. if you have any accidents, needing auto body repair, they'll do it in no time, too. rental car is another plus, they have a discounted price or some deals with Enterprise or something, if you ever need one. read more

My car really really needed a oil change so I called almost all the auto shops in Santa Clara and asked. After a few calls, this shop was the only one that does oil change and for lesser than Stevens Creek Acura dealer. I took my Acura TL in during lunch time. The Korean owner told me to sit to wait for 20 minutes and he would take care of everything for me. If I was Stevens Creek Acura dealer, I would have to wait for 1 to 1.5 hour for an oil change. I love the fact that this shop is close to my work, the wait time was shorter, and it is cheaper. I think $25 for oil change is pretty reasonable compare to $50. Plus, the Korean owner was nice. And they take credit card...kaaachin! read more

I have received excellent service from these guys at a fair price. I've returned for general maintenance and inspection stickers and they have done great work. I gave them 5 stars because they did good work at a decent price- and that can be very hard to find in the city. Joong ang il bo SF read more

I am the unfortunate owner of the orange Pontiac in the pictures - my mom crashed it on 101, and it would have been nothing more than a distant memory if not for The Way Auto Care. They were very prompt and repaired it very solidly. I can't tell it was ever in an accident, it looks and drives perfectly and it already made the trip to LA and back twice after the repairs, with no problem! Very solid, good work, all for a good price!!! I will definitely come back!! But hopefully I won't have to! :) read more

I came here to fix collision damage along the front passenger side of my car, which was covered by insurance, but also had some other damage along the back passenger side that I wanted to get fixed too (that I didn't go through insurance for). This was not the first place since I first went to the body shop my insurance company recommended (Champion Auto Body). The guy (at Champion) was kind of cocky, looked at my insurance estimate and was barely willing to budge on the estimate for the uninsured damage. He also said that I was unlikely to find a better price for it. Now comes The Way. The people there were polite, the job was well done and was significantly cheaper (about $700 less) than Champion's estimate - show's what that guy knows. When I picked up the car the finish was a bit gritty so I had to come back a couple days later but it just needed some buffing out to make it nice and smooth. Overall very well done. They've certainly earned my repeat business if my car ever gets damaged again. read more

Always happy with the car service and Kim is the most genuine person I have come across in terms of car service. Never over charges and always gives you the best advice as well in terms of your car. read more

I'm happy with my recent 2010 VW Jetta A/C repair. They replaced the compressor for a very fair price. I dropped off the car at night and dropped the key in their mail slot. While I was waiting for their quote, they repaired a broken door handle issue without charge. I'll be back for oil changes and body work if needed. read more

This place doesn't even add windshield washer. The guy told me they don't keep it. I can only imagine the quality of oil they use for oil change. I now stop taking my cars at this place. read more

Best body shop in town! Kelvin and the guys here are super nice, honest, provide the best prices, and do nice, clean work in a timely manner! I've gone to two other body shops in the past and neither of them can compare to The Way. Aside from body work, I called this morning about getting an oil change and they said to come through at lunch and it should only take 20-30 mins. They kept their word! read more

I got a really good deal on an oil change. The mechanics also diagnosed another engine system which required temporary removal and testing of components, advised me which parts to replace, and did not charge me for the diagnosis, even though I was not planning to fix that at their shop. Work was done in a very timely manner, and on a Saturday. read more

This place is so bad it doesn't even deserve a star. My car's A/C didn't work properly and someone recommended here. The owner changed the compressor and coolant but one week later the A/C didn't work again. After he fixed it, he charged me for parts. However a month later I had the same problem. He again gave me the estimation which was about $500 including parts and labor, even though he could not figure out the issue clearly, but he just wanted to replace the parts again. I didn't want to argue with him anymore, so I went to the dealer shop where they fixed it for free just in 5 minutes. Who knows that my car did not have to change the parts at the first visit! read more

I brought my car here to fix the crash on the rear bumper, lamp and quarter panel, based on those positive reviews on yelp. The owner Kim and kelvin are nice, but I have to say the quality is just okay. So I rated it 3-stars. I quickly check the first fix they have done, they did a good job on quarter panel (very smooth surface) but soon I found the rear bump did not align well with the quarter panel on its right side. I asked them to fix it. Then I checked their second fix, and yes, this time the parts were aligned, however, along the seam of bumper and quarter panel I saw somwwhere was not attached well, I asked them to fix it. They do a trick to fix it, however, after 1-day driving, the problem came again. I had to bring my car to their shop again. This time Kim ordered some specific parts to fix it, and that finally fixed the problem. The time I spent on bring my car back and forth was around 3 weeks, it should be 1 week though if they did a quality work. They do give you a very competiitve price, but overall the quality is just okay. read more

I started going here because the owner is a friend of a friend. However, the service has made me a committed customer. My car was overheating. I took it in, and they found a dead thermostat on the radiator. They replaced it, and I took my car out to work (that day, in Stockton) and it overheated -- AGAIN. Called them, and they sent out a tow truck to pick ME and the car up at the end of my work day (at 7pm) and not only dropped my car off at the shop (where they found I had crappy radiator hoses) but they gave me a ride home. Not a small thing since I live up in the mountains, about 30 minutes away from the shop. They fixed up the radiator hoses for free, the tow cost nothing, and the service there has been consistently fabulous. Yes, the outside looks a bit rough and horribly crowded -- it is a sign of how good the shop is by the number of people trying to get their cars in the door. The prices are reasonable and the people are friendly. I've already recommended this place to all my friends, my family, and now to you, the complete stranger. read more

I have been going to Don for years. This is my go-to spot for any car work in the South Bay. Reliable service, fair prices, and convenient location near the SJC airport. The only cons would be that it gets pretty busy some afternoons and that the place looks a little messy. Then again it is an auto care shop so it's to be expected. Highly recommend The Way. read more

Pretty happy with the service! I normally go to the dealership but my friend told me about Don's shop. So I call them one day, and they say I can come in anytime the next day. I stroll in at 8am, hand them my keys, hang out a coffee shop, (there's one a few minutes away) and then about an hour later, I head over to pick up my car. They did an oil change and replaced my air/cabin filter for a fraction of what my dealership would charge. Score! read more

My whole family brings each of our cars to The Way. My mom had started bringing her car to Kim and has gotten us all to come here as well. We do because of the great service! These guys are friendly, very fair, quick, and do a great job! For my most recent car problem, they called me to let me know what they found to be the problem, were very patient in explaining to me why this was the problem, got my car in and out within the day, and were still able to stay within the original estimate! I don't bring my car anywhere else, whether it's body work, a brake job, or anything else. read more

This is my first yelp review. Actually, this is my first online review for any establishment because I am usually skeptical about reading reviews online. Anyway, I'm doing this because this business deserves to stand out for the excellent service they've given to me and I am more than happy to write a wonderful review for them. I recently got into an accident and wanted to look for an auto body shop that could help give me an estimate for my vehicle. This wouldn't be a problem, however, I didn't have a lot of time and wanted to know if someone could come over to my residence and do the estimate for me instead of having to pay for a towtruck and get my vehicle towed from my place to the autobody shop. I called over 15 auto body shops in the Santa Clara/San Jose area and none of them except Calvin from The Way decided to help me out. I am reallly thankful for Calvin for taking the time to come over to my place and look at the vehicle AND give me the estimate within 24 hours. I decided to retire my van (98 plymouth voyager) but I am really impressed with The Way for making an extra effort in helping me with my problem. I would definitely give them my business should I need their services. Their good faith and effort they've demonstrated even though they might not get any revenue from the opportunity made me believe that this establishment deserves 5 starts. read more

I have been goint to this place for last 8 years. And his service s are not only reasonable and also dependable. I am very happy with the kind of service I get all the time. read more

What a positive experience, given the circumstances. First and foremost, Kelvin was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We took my wife's car there for a new bumper and grill (someone hit it while it was parked). All my questions were answered, they turned the job around quickly, and I was extremely pleased with the end result. We also ended up having them do the 100k mile service on the car at that time since it was already in the shop, and what they charged was extremely reasonable. My wife and I just moved to this area and are happy to have found a shop that we can be comfortable using for all of our needs. read more

The Way Auto Care is a great place to go to. I just got my 1997 Ford Explorer Sport back from them, and it looks great! The cost was what one would expect for the type and the amount of work that needed to be done. They are easy to find, and Don couldn't have been more helpful. I definitely recommend this place for all your autobody needs! read more

I should start by saying that I am VERY particular about who I let touch my vehicles. I've had some bad experiences with other shops in the past, and I'm mechanically inclined, so I prefer to do my own work whenever possible. However, body work and paint are an art form that I'm not fully familiar with, so I figured that letting a professional handle it would be more prudent. I walked out of my office a couple of weeks ago to find that someone had decided that the trunk of my 2001 VW Jetta would be a great canvas to practice his/her etching art with a key. Not approving of the artwork (I didn't like the idea of my car having a tramp stamp) and thanking the automotive gods that I had comprehensive coverage on the car, I went straight to Calvin at The Way Auto Care. I had had some work done there before (difficult to align a 4x4 Ford pickup without special equipment!), but this was the first time they had done any body work for me, and it was also the first time I had used them to deal with an insurance company issue. First, to the workmanship itself. They did the job right, sanding down the trunk as well as the adjacent body panel to apply a new coat of paint and clear coat to the trunk and to "blend" the paint on the body panel next to the trunk. The blend looks perfect to my eye...unless you're very experienced in the field and knew exactly what to look for, or knew about my keying incident, I don't think anyone could tell that anything had ever happened. The trunk emblems were replaced, as they should have been (no re-tape and stick on for the old emblems!), and were put back in exactly the spot where the old emblems were, contrasted with work I've seen at other shops, where the emblems were put in the wrong place. To say that I'm impressed would be an understatement. The rear end of my car looks as good as new! Now, for dealing with the insurance company. I need to give a public THANK YOU to Calvin for going to bat for me with my insurance company. As I mentioned above, the proper way to do this repair is to sand down the body panel next to the affected panel so that the paint can be blended. My insurance company initially refused to pay for the blending work, preferring to pay for The Way Auto Care to tint the paint on the trunk to get it to match as closely as possible. Even an auto body novice such as myself knew that, while you can get the paint tinted to the point where it's "close", you'll never get it exactly right, and it would always be obvious that the trunk had been repainted. So, after receiving my car, Calvin called the insurance adjuster and told him that, by only being willing to pay for tinting, my insurance company was doing me a disservice. To Allstate's credit, after hearing the recommendation of an experienced body shop professional, they backed off their original demand and allowed The Way Auto Care to do the job properly. I can't think of very many body shops that would care enough to take their service to that level, and I am very appreciative of Calvin and The Way Auto Care for going that extra step to make sure that things were done properly, my car was returned to the condition it was in prior to the incident, and that I was happy with the final outcome. In short, this was a good and very pain-free experience. The work was done quickly (once the insurance issue was settled, the work was done in 3 days), the quality of the work is top-notch, and Calvin is a very good person to deal with. I highly recommend The Way Auto Care to anyone! read more

This is my first time going to this mechanic and I couldn't be more pleased about the service I received from customer service to their expert mechanic skills. I was in desperate need to have my car fixed ASAP and Johnathan went above and beyond to make that happen. Johnathan was able to look at my car same day I dropped off with no appointment and told me he can have it ready for me the next day at a Very Reasonable price and surprised me with a phone call letting me know my car was ready that same day. I could not have asked for any better turnaround time and this meant everything to me. Thank you Johnathan!!!!! I have found a new mechanic that is trustworthy and reasonable. read more

I've only brought in my cars for maintenance here, but their service is always great. They will not try to fix things that are not necessary at 15K/30K services and so the price is very reasonable. I introduced this place to my co-workers and they all like it here. read more
