If you're looking for a local independent auto repair shop that specializes in Hondas and Acuras,…read morelook no further. After my and my family's longtime indy shop (International Auto Clinic in Cupertino) closed after the owner retired, I tried different places for Honda service. Another indy shop (JP Automotive) in San José caused me headaches by misdiagnosing a coil problem and shoddy workmanship. The dealer, on the other hand, while always doing a competent job, tended to be on the pricier side, and I'd almost always get upsold by a service adviser there : "sir, when was the last time you had our fuel injection cleaning service done? When was the last time you had your power steering fluid changed?" Fuck that. I used to see Kaloci and Son all the time while driving down Evelyn to and from the Sunnyvale Caltrain station. When my Honda was making a funny noise after starting it, I gave these guys a call. Facts: * The place is run by two employees -- Bill and Sandi. Bill is the mechanic who does all the work on the cars, and Sandi works the office, answering the phone and writing you up, among other things. * They only work on Hondas and Acuras. That's it. * They're usually very busy. They will likely ask you to leave your car for a few days until they can get to it. If they're super busy, Bill will sometimes come in on Saturday to get work done. * You can drop your car off after hours as they have a slot where you can put your key in an envelope and slide it through. * Bill will check your car over for free and let you know if there's anything of concern. He doesn't seem to be too pushy at all if your car might need work. He'll also film the work he's doing on your car and will show you firsthand why he did what he did. Their invoices are also very detailed and transparent. They diagnosed my car's problem as the starter beginning to go bad. The final cost out the door to replace it was just barely over $500. While certainly not cheap, the price seems to be right based on some independent research I did online. Who knows how expensive it would've been had I had it replaced at the dealer. A few days after I picked the car up, Sandi called and told me that Bill had accidentally neglected to put the dipstick back in the car after he checked the oil level. He had gotten distracted apparently. He was apologetic after bringing the car back, and I can tell that this is not a normal occurrence for him. Overall, I'm very happy with the service I received here. Bill and Sandi are both really nice and give the impression that they want you to know that your Honda or Acura is in good, competent hands when you bring it here. 5 stars all the way

I've been taking my Honda to Bill for several years, and drive down from San Francisco every year…read moreto get my car serviced. Bill is thorough, thoughtful, and takes the time to explain what he's doing. I feel empowered to understand what's happening with my car. He always walks me through what needs to be done and what can wait another year. It's clear that he's doing exactly what needs to be done and not charging me for extras. I can't recommend Kaloci & Son highly enough.

I was told it would take about an hour to two hours. They ended up doing just a recharge, the refrigerant was low. They finished in an hour and a half. My sea runs really cold right now! Did exactly what they said they would do in the time they said they would get it done! Prices are extremely reasonable, I was quoted $450 as the top price with the lowest quote being at $300. He beat the lowest quote by 15% and was efficient! The owner has owned the business for about a year now, but he worked as a technician for 17 years prior to that. Business has been around for 30 years because they know what quality is at a good price. Come here for all your auto needs!

My parents and I have been coming to this place for YEARS to get our cars fixed. I'm very thankful…read morethat they were able to get my suspensions on my front side fixed in time, as well as any alignment that came with it. Tony, Anh, and Antonio really get the job done at Leader -- they are experts at what they do, so I do not blame them for taking too much of their time to do a diagnostic on the car. They usually give me an estimate as to when the car would be done, but usually, they finish the job way earlier than the estimated time forsure. The price value for their oil changes are probably one of the best in the Santa Clara Valley -- almost cheaper than if you go to competitors like Jiffy Lube or Triple AAA for an oil change. I'll definitely be coming back for more changes on my car in the future -- if you go to Leader you'll be in good hands.

He is very nice and humble and will tell you exactly how it is. This time I went there to get my 2011 E-350 fixed with the following 1) Oil Housing Seepage: Stevens Creek of MBZ quoted me $2000.94 and Tha did it using OEM parts for $539.73. 2) Engine Mounts: Stevens Creek of MBZ quoted me $2693.80 and Tha did it using OEM parts (and the Transmission Mount) for $919.15. For reference, for #1, Stevens Creek MBZ quoted me $1847.93 in March 2025 (so their price went up 8% in less than 11 months) and for #2 they quoted me $2609 in March 2025 (3% increase in less than 11 months). This excuse for "oh inflation is causing prices to increase" is BS because for the rest of us (like me), our take home pay doesn't go up by that much in 11 months!

I'm not really a car guy, so I was super surprised to hear my rat problem from many years ago still had residuals to this day.

After removing the rat nest, the fan started to have vibrating noises. I went back and they were able to clear it out on the spot, on the house! I find them very professional, thank you.
