    Ben says his Escape ran great on the drive back to San Luis Obispo with his teammates.

    Brought in my son's Ford Escape with reduced power, Michael immediately read the engine code, found a loose intercooler hose within 1 minute, put it on the lift to get access and got to work. Great service!

    Thank you guys!

    Michael Is hands down the best mechanic I've been to in the last 4 years. Recently I've moved to south San Jose and coming here was a bit far. I came to get my water pump done and Michael went the extra mile. All the time have my cars have been fixed, they stay fixed. From a 1980s car to a 2012 car, this shop does it all. When I moved, I went to a local shop down Monterey road and the service was slow and cheaper. Wow, did that mess me up big time, I paid double to get it fixed. The guy who did my oil change did not tighten up the cap and my oil leaked, which led to so many things. They also sold me old brakes that were sharpened or something. I eventually went back to Ultimate Auto Repair and Michael showed me what had happened and how my brakes were used (comparing it to a brand new brake rotor). Thank goodness this was caught on and Michael fixed everything for me - even showing me the old parts that came off my car. He has never sold me anything extra and is a very honest owner. If it needs to be fixed, he will take me straight to the problem and let me see it for myself before anything. He does his best to find the cheapest parts for our cars. This is what you call great work integrity. I've referred all of my friends and family's and even coworker to Ultimate Auto Repair and always, have they left satisfied and remember who their mechanic shop was. I want to thank this shop for everything it had done, it is worth the extra 7 mile drive knowing I am coming to somebody so honest and trustworthy.

    Thought I might have a bad wheel bearing or drive shaft, but they checked it out and said all was good with it. Found an out of round tyre situation and they showed showed me the issue and also a transmission drip I never knew I had. Friendly service and truly honest, they really do not go out of their way to find a reason to charge you more. This isnt the stealership, this is a reputable small business. As a small operation/shop, do not expect to show up to a 10-bay service department - this isn't it. This is an old style small shop that actually does mechanic work rather than just replaces parts until they luck onto the problem. Will definitely be back again for our service needs.

    The excellent, professional work the team did on my truck. Thank you guys so much!!

    See all

    I live over in the Santa Cruz mountains but was over the hill for errands. My battery died (or so…read moreI thought). AAA gave me a jump but my A/C, dash and power windows and stereo wouldn't work. The AAA towing guy said it was my alternator. I didn't want to drive back over the hill with a bad alternator so I started calling auto shops around where I was that were actually open on a Saturday. I called and spoke with Gary. He got my information and was able to find an alternator for my Hummer H2 (OEM at that) and said to bring it in and I could be up and running in two hours. I dropped off my car and went to the pizza place next door to eat lunch and wait. A little while later I got a call from Gary and he said that the issue wasn't my alternator at all. It was my string of lights zip tied under my car connected to my battery. The light strip had come down and was dragging on the ground and essentially shorting out my battery. Once he disconnected it from my battery everything started working again. The level of detail they went into to find the true issue vs just putting in an alternator was very impressive and just shows true integrity and customer service. I wish I lived near by them cuz I would definitely make them my primary mechanic. For anyone looking to bring your car in for work, just know you are in good hands. I highly recommend them.

We had to take our Prius in for a smog check (why though, it's a Prius!) and I called in to to make an appointment, which was easy to do. When we arrived, they told us where to position our car, asked for the DMV paperwork, and quickly went about performing the smog check. They performed it quickly, did it for a transparent fixed price (some places charge more for certain cars, including Prius's, which seems strange), and got us on our away quickly. The price was reasonable too - about $60 all in. They pointed us to some chairs where we could sit and wait while they did the test - nothing fancy, but it's good to have an option to sit. For whatever reason, smog checks are something I kind of dread, even though it's always painless. Having a local place that can do this quickly and efficiently for a reasonable price is always worth calling out.
