I had the best experience at this shop! My Range Rover had charging issues and wouldn't start while I was in town visiting for the night. I had it towed to the shop at 1pm and met with the owner (Kassi) and he diagnosed the probable causes, located a couple parts to have them on hand before last delivery time of the day to make sure we had all options covered. He called to confirm pricing, and then had the car ready with both alternator, battery, and other items replaced and serviced and ready for me all before 5pm. Amazing job in 4-hours, from arrival to pick-up, to sourcing the parts, to installation! I was back on the road driving back to Southern California with my car running great. What a great family business and I would absolutely recommend everybody to get service from this shop. Honest, excellent work, full of integrity! read more

Best overall service and repair shop around. How's above and beyond! We've been taking our family vehicles for over 15 years. The last job (timing chain job) on our Infiniti QX56 was amazing! read more

Great service at a fair price. Honest mechanic. Much less pricey than the dealer. I am a returning customer

My car would not start and I had it towed to their shop. Ended up needing a new fuel pump. They got my car going again and I picked it up the next day. I am a repeat customer and I originally started going to them because they are within walking distance of my house. Great service every time I go. read more

Looking for a new mechanic shop (since my car is old lol) I decided to bring to Valley Auto for an oil change. I was promptly greeted and given an estimate. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They showed me other issues that are wrong with my car without trying to up-sale. Very honest mechanics and good service. My oil was changed and now I also have a better idea about my cars condition. Give them a try ! read more

I just left this shop and I wanted to make sure I left a review. I paid today to have them inspect an old car that I was looking to buy. The mechanic took his time, sent me videos of his inspection and then took the time to explain everything to me. I was very appreciative of their work and professionalism. read more

What to say about this amazing place: the place was impeccable, including parking lot and bays, Staff was friendly from the get go, Even when I was walking in, and I interacted with them, they responded with a smile and positivity. The owner is engaging and has exceptional customer service. it seems to me that from a cheap service like mine just a simple smog to a more detailed and expensive service they are there for you! Well, done team you guys have a customer for life! read more

Every time I come here they find the problem in a timely manner and fix it for a really decent price. As a female, most mechanics seem to try and overcharge or get you to pay for unnecessary things, but this place has always been so honest and helpful. It's the only place I trust to take my car. I've been cooking here for almost 10 years. Thank you! read more

Service was great and informative. I appreciate the work and time they put into the service and they were friendly as well. They let us know what was the problem and give updates while you waited. Thank you! read more

These people helped me get back on the road after a scary hydroplane incident that sent me off the freeway. My undercarriage, struts, tires, rims, and other parts were covered in mud and cracks and dents. The team here were able to replace all the parts I needed to be back on the road safely and they were honest and transparent about what the timeline and costs would be. I appreciate that they didn't take advantage of someone who just went through an anxiety inducing experience. It took a few days of patience, but good things take time and I would return to them for future services after my 1st time using this place for my needs. read more

Had four new Tires installed, an Alignment and a Service done. Great service and very nice. read more

The best place in the SJ Valley! My family has been going here for a decade. Whether it's our Hondas, Lexus, BMW or Nissan, they do it all! What I can respect most from a mechanic is honesty, and that's what you'll get here. They don't cut corners, they don't overcharge, and they're upfront about their services and cost. Kashif, the owner, is a family man and that's apparent in the way he runs his business. read more

Very fast service with no wait! The price was about average, but everything is expensive these days. Thanks everyone!

This is the only one place in Lodi that I know that does honest/ great work and does not up charge you. I take all three of my cars there and always have a great experience. People there are very friendly and approachable. This is your place to go if you are looking for an honest shop. read more

TL;DR Version: Great service, got me in quickly, and reasonably priced, and they have R-1234yf Freon! As the summer started kicking I realized my A/C was not kicking in. Trying to find a place to do a recharge turned out to be a way more difficult request than I could have ever imagined. Most places advertising they offer this service don't, and if they apparently there is a new Freon type which my car apparently takes (Jaguar) that they don't carry. After 2 days and calling at least 100 places I found Valley Auto Repair. They got me an appointment within an hour of my call, recharged my AC and had me all ready just in time for the road-trip I was about to take. I wish I would have started with them to begin with! Now that I know, I will definitely be returning in the future the next time I need a service or repair. read more

This is my second time to have my car smogged at Valley Auto Repair Center and each time it was done in a timely manner and when I mentioned a little minor fix that needed to be done........my car would come back to me and the problem was fixed. That is true customer service. I will be back read more

Great place!! Very Helpful Staff. They always get the job done and are very affordable. They are honest mechanics and never try and get more money out of me. I've been taking my cars here for 7 years and haven't had a problem. I highly recommend! Kashi at the front desk is always the most helpful! read more

Honest mechanic with great service and very fair prices. Kashi is great to work with!

After visiting the DMV inside AAA my son was told he needed a smog check and we were referred here. Being a AAA member we got a $10 discount and we're told it would be about 30 mins. I swear it felt like 10 mins!! In and out super fast! Total was $50 even. read more

Ive been here twice in the last two weeks. One for a smog check + cert and one to change my license plates. Both services have been amazing. Smog check was only about 30 mins since there was someone in front of me. Service was friendly and entire thing was $40 even. The following week I got new license plates and was changing the screws. Back plate had really rusty screws I couldn't loosen so I went to them and it took about 5-10 mins and they didn't charge me a thing! I tipped them though bc the service was still great. I highly recommend! read more

Thank you so much for always taking me in as a walk-in. I really appreciate it when I need something done suddenly, and you guys can fix it in a few hours. It's really convenient. Thank you Kashif read more

So came here on when I failed my first smog inspection and needed a place that was quick and honest in price. Well I found it and will be returning to Valley Auto Repair when I need my breaks and oil changed done. If your going to oil stop now by misters car wash. Save your money they charge 109.99 for a synthetic oil change and Valley only charges 70 bucks out the door for the exact same oil change. Also my hood release was having issues with the spring and they fixed it no charge. This is why I like locally owned businesses in Lodi and prefer places that are not a dealership, Midas or pep boys. Keep up the great work fellows and I will be back. Word of advice they don't do appointments show up the first thing in the morning and you will be taken care of first. Thanks again for the quick smog while the first place failed me on purpose to try to extract more money out of me. How does one car pass smog less then 2 hours later and have no issues or worked done too it. read more

I've come to this place a few different times for different services. I've had my oil change done and smog check. They're always polite and give me an accurate time estimate. There was one time that a service did take longer than expected. They were completely transparent throughout the whole process and very apologetic. They also checked in with my kiddos because they were getting impatient. That level of customer service is what compelled me to give them 5 stars. They offer fair prices and good service. That goes a long way when it comes to auto services. I highly recommend them! read more

As someone who used to drive 30k+ miles per year for work, I wholeheartedly recommend these guys. Fortunately, my job changed but I still get my auto maintenance done here. Finding a reliable mechanic with reasonable rates isn't easy, but I've always had good experiences with Valley Auto. read more

I'd recommend Valley Auto,I brought in my mom's Lincoln Navigator to repair the air. The part was hard to find but they were able to locate the part, and complete the job. The staff is very nice and easy to work with. read more

Honest! Courteous, efficient, and timely service! Repaired an air conditioning system in 90 minutes and refrigerant re-charge for a very good price! Did no more than was necessary and they were great! We do all of our smog and oil changes here too as well. Integrity is not as common as it used to be but Valley has it. Our go-to shop. Numerous positive experiences in the past 5 years. Thanks Valley! We will be back! read more

Best in the business! Always reliable & trustworthy. Being a female college student, I felt very intimated going into a dealership not knowing anything about cars. Going to Valley Auto Repair Center, I felt very comfortable & was treated respectfully & they explained everything thoroughly. I highly recommend Valley Auto Repair Center for all your car needs. -Dray :) read more

I've been coming here for nearly a decade. This is hands down the best mechanic in the area. friendly, professional, and honest. These guys always explain everything contact via phone to confirm repairs when vehicles are left and go the extra mile. read more

Noel handled service for my vehicle in a last minute pinch and did not up the ante on me when he knew my situation was urgent. Service here is always above my expectations and from my experience, you can trust these guys. Thank you Valley Auto team! read more

I came in to have my battery tested, I was told it's fine but there is corrosion on it . I was then changed $45 to to clean it and for testing the battery! Baking soda and vinegar would've done the same job. That would've run me about $6 . I really think he saw a woman alone and over charged the hell out of me. Pretty sad ! I've heard good things about this shop, not true for me! Lesson learned. I won't be back! read more

I bought a used 2004 Toyota 4 runner recently, and the seller scammed me on the mileage and condition. These guys told it to me like it was. Naturally I'm upset about the purchase but it wasn't Valley's fault. I wish to retract my previous review, where I mistakenly criticized this shop. They were professional and knowledgable, and I would definitely do business with them again. Tim Pryor read more

Was my go to place previously but I have noticed a change in service lately. I believe I saw a comment somewhere that ownership changed which if it did is likely the change in service. Lately when take one of the cars in it comes out with another problem. Last experience I will not be back. I had issues with car cutting out took it in paid the diagnostic fee they cleaned intake out then ready to go. Was pleased then all of a sudden next day not even 10 miles or 24 hrs pass I'm sitting at idle and my car temp all the way to hot. I take back immediately, then they tell me I need to pay diagnostics again and it's the fan. Then tell me they will waive the diagnosis fee if it's the fan but if fuse I pay. Well it was the fan but charged me diagnosis and now my hood does not pop anymore and got this problem after they had the car again. No longer a trust worthy shop read more

I highly recommend Valley Auto Repair. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and fast. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

I've been bringing my car here for years now, I always leave extremely satisfied. The service is great and they are quick. I highly recommend for all your car services! read more
