Great customer service, good communication, fast service and good price. Shop is clean and seems well managed.

I don't know what's taken me so long to write a review, My family and I have been using Zip In Auto for many years. My daughter recently had her Subaru repaired, and a situation occurred that most mechanics would have taken advantage of, not Nitesh. He is one of the most fair and honest people I've ever known. I cannot recommend he and his shop enough. read more

For those who read my prior 5 Star review, this is an update. It has been over a year and Zip In Auto still takes excellent care of my 2011 Crown Victoria P7B Police Interceptor. One of the things I have learned is always ask if they can do a job before going to a "Specialty Shop". For Example : My driver's side power mirror was hit and fell off. I patched it up the best I could and was going to bring it to a dealer or another shop. Mr. Nitesh told me he could take care of it. I watched as his technician expertly replaced the mirror with a new one. I've had minor issues with the car, Which has always been handled. I had a front end issue where the steering wheel wasn't centered. After an alignment, it's now perfect. The knowledge level of Mr. Nitesh is incredible. I have seen all makes of cars come into the shop. I especially like how he insists on using Ford Motorcraft Sparkplugss on my Crown Victoria, instead of a cheap substitute. His technicians are very well trained and extremely polite and competent and are willing to answer any questions or show you the old parts. Pricing is fair and I have seen jobs that normally would take another shop 2-3 days be completed in one. The attitude of this business is Customer Service. You call, you'll probably be told to bring the car in that day. The shop is kept very clean and well organized.They even sell tires! It is a family business and you will often find Mr. Nitesh wife, Vindia, helping out on the phone. This is an honest business with integrity. There are very few 1 Star Reviews, One I noted was an exact firm price for a service job could not be given over the phone. The customer did not like that so gave the negative review. I'm still a loyal customer and still HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business. read more

Good first time experience here. Quick turn-around on basic oil change and tire rotation on an old but solid Honda Accord. Nitesh, the owner, is responsive and helpful. He also organized a very helpful evaluation and fix for my Mazda's throttle body. No up-sell pressure. The waiting room and bathroom are clean, organized, with wifi and water/snacks while you wait. The large windows look right onto the shop floor so you can see your car being worked on. Old parts were returned to me. Nitesh, his wife, and their crew seem to be hard working and appreciate your business. read more

Great service - reliable mechanic who is open Saturdays!! We stumbled across this place when we were having troubles with one of our vehicles, that car is no longer (nothing due to the mechanic, just old age) but we have been bringing every other car here ever since! The prices are great, the service is better!! read more

Nitesh / team helped replaced my front & back brakes pads and rotors. Easy to work with, dropped the car& brakes.rotors, and it was ready for pickup within estimated time. Cost of Labour was reasonable. Brakes work great. Thank you guys. read more

The absolute NICEST auto shop I have ever encountered. As a single woman I always worry about being taken advantage of in auto shops since I know ZERO about cars except it's basic maintenance. They answered my call right away, was able to get my car looked at right away and was given advice within an hour. I did not feel rushed, my questions answered and did not feel pressured to do anything I didn't want to. Rather, I was given options. I am grateful for this family owned business. I hope to use them in the future. read more

Nice clean place and fast oil change. Had a coupon. Very happy with them. Did a wonderful job. Am a woman and I would trust them. read more

Always does me right at a good price. Whenever my car needs an oil change, cabin air filter, or anything else.

It took me a bit to find a place that can work on a commercial vehicle. Nitesh is very knowledgeable about working on trucks. Will be bringing all my vehicles to him. He gets to the point. Whether we need to replace or not. Very please with my brake services as well. I couldn't find anyone who could do it correctly. Prices is very reasonable AND A PLUS PLUS cause they open on Saturdays!!!!! read more

Trust me and go here. You'll be 110% satisfied and you'll recommend them to your friends and family as a place that has humility and honesty. They will not take advantage of you. They prioritize great service over overcharging meaningless nuances. The owner, Nitesh, is a personable and authentic. He started working at a shop and end up owning the shop and opening up other garages in the same area. The worker there seem friendly and helpful. This was my 3rd time at Zip Auto and they never changed the quote price on me, not once. Will be back again. Plus they have snacks and water in the waiting room. read more

Overall: Reliable, timely mechanic. Fairly priced. Goes above and beyond for customer service. ===Story: I called them the day of and asked them if they had times available for an oil change for two separate cars. I called a few minutes after they opened, and they picked up immediately! The woman at the front desk was very helpful. They said that they had room and I could bring it in right then and there (this was Saturday morning). I asked about the new client special and they quoted me $40 for each (Nov 2023). In one car, they told me that there was damage to the control arm. As a woman with little knowledge about cars, mechanics can often be intimidated. They were able to explain what the issue was in a helpful and non-condescending way. It was also less intimidating because the woman at the front desk was there - I think she was the owner's wife? She was very friendly. I ran the quote by some of my friends who know way more about cars. The part was replaced with a part from the car's manufacturer and the work included a 1 year/12k mile warranty. My friends said that the labor was reasonably priced. The part was more expensive than expected, but it is the Bay Area and it was an original part with a warranty. So, maybe not the most affordable, but very reasonable and fair for this work. I appreciated their service. I also asked for my tires to be rotated, and they said they could do that during the oil change for no additional cost. I also had an issue with one of my tire pressure monitor sensors, which I had asked them to take a look at, and they said it was an easy replacement. They didn't have the part on hand, but they said that if I brought the car in the following week they would do it quickly at no cost. They said that it was quick to do. I also appreciated that I didn't feel pressured to make any of the changes that they suggested. They described the pros/cons well. With my other car, they said that I should consider replacing the brake pads but that it wasn't needed right away and could be done within the next 3 oil changes. ===Service: Goes above and beyond for customer service. ===Price: My personal experience is that their parts can be more expensive than expected, but they give you great parts that have a warranty (no aftermarket parts). However, their labor is very fairly priced and their general services are as well. ===Location: I really like that there is a big window in the waiting area so that you can see your car being worked on! The waiting area was nice and clean (they have a roomba in the corner, and obviously, it gets well used). There is free wi-fi. There was also free coffee and mini water bottles. read more

Great service. Very responsive and great value. I had them change my car battery (3yr warranty) on a 328i, change the brake fluids and oil change. Took my car in at 11am and they called me at 3 pm to pick up my vehicle. ZIP is the perfect name. read more

Nitesh and his crew are AWESOME!!! They are fast, hard working, and honest. I trust them implicitly. In fact when i first met them years ago with a very old used car that I just acquired, I was (pleasantly!) surprised to hear him praise the previous owner of the car, remarking how well they had taken care of the car. Years later that car is still running great. And he has provided stellar service always!!! THANK YOU zip in auto!!! read more

I called ahead of time for a quote and they let me know to come in after 1:30pm. I love how straight forwarded and quick it was. I came in after 4 and they close at 5, they still took me in! The owner was very nice. We had a good conversation and I could tell how passionate he was about his shop. I came by myself, I felt comfortable and didn't try to upsell anything especially since I'm a woman. I would recommend coming here if you just need something quick like an oil change and won't feel uncomfortable, if you're a woman. read more

The owner responded quickly and repaired my AC in under an hour at a reasonable price. The waiting room is pleasant and offers snacks and water. read more

My father and I have been working with Nitesh for many years now. His work is truly remarkable and professional. Most importantly, he is honest and trustworthy. I recommend everyone who asks for a reliable, truthful and ethical mechanic here. read more

I came here for some work on my GMC Terrain a week ago. A family member used them a few times and couldn't say enough good things so I thought I'd give them a shot. Let me tell you this is one of the most honest, easy to work with, quality mechanic I've ever met. They walked me through each step and ensured I felt comfortable with the work and cost. I have a few sensors out and an evap leak and I have shopped around and they had the best price around. They had my car in and out in a matter of a couple hours. I noticed not only was my family and I a fan but judging by all the people calling and coming in it's very apparent that others felt this was a top notch place. I definitely will be back here for other car work I may need, and will definitely be referring others here as well. read more

I love this auto-shop. The owner is nice and they always have the coolest pens. Ive had my timing belt changed and today I called in to get 2 tires changed as walmart had a 2 week wait. I just called he said to come in an hr so i picked my tires up and brought them over. The waiting area is nice and there is a big window to watch your car get serviced. read more

The owner was very helpful and flexible. Their rates are the best compared to other shops nearby. I would definitely come back to do regular maintenance. Legitimate business! Thanks Nitesh! read more

Nitesh really helped me figure out what was wrong with my car and directed me to a cheaper alternative and I genuinely thank him for that. I asked him to run a diagnostic on my car and normally it's really expensive just to check and did it super fast. read more

Nitesh is running an honest and high quality shop, which is not as common as it should be unfortunately. I've been extremely loyal to my old mechanic who moved farther away from me, but I have finally found someone else who I can trust. I never once felt like I was being taken advantage of or overcharged. read more

Be careful and do your research. I am sure Nitesh and the crew do a good job, however, I think that some of the jobs they do are extremely overpriced. I was quoted around $1.2k ($743 for parts, $425 for labor) to exchange two O2 sensors and one MAF sensor. I did some research and found out that they up-charged around $300 for parts! Deciding it was too expensive, I did the job myself in about two hours and spent around $400 for the same parts they would have used. For context, I don't have a lot of car experience yet I was able to do it pretty easily. I think a seasoned car mechanic such as Nitesh could've easily done this job in 30 minutes max. $425 for a 30 minute job is absurd. Converted to an hourly rate, that would be $850 per hour! Overall, I think the $1.2k quote for this job is very overpriced and I would recommend double checking your invoice and doing some research before paying. read more

My car needed a brake job so I got quotes from multiple places but this place gave a good price. They are located in Campbell next to a busy freeway. So I drove there on a weekend. They have 2-3 very knowledgeable guys working on cars there and shop is owned by a family. Owners are good people. Since it's a family owned business and they did a good job in an hour, I am giving this place 5 star. read more

Zip In Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Campbell, California

TOTALLY trustworthy. They have worked on my car before, and the last time I brought it in for transmission issues we realized they don't make the transmission anymore. As I was going to pick up the next day to bring it to a transmission shop, the owner did research on his own time and no charge and figured out that a sensor was likely the issue. He gave me the sensor description and sent me to a transmission shop down the street, who fixed it. He didn't have to do research on his own time and $ to help figure out the solution for me, but he did. Above and beyond! read more

I walked in at Zip In Auto for regular maintenance on a Friday morning and they completed servicing my car in half hour. Reasonable price, pleasant waiting area with water and snacks. I will definitely come back! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Zip In Auto! We have taken our cars there for over a year now and they have always been honest, helpful, and efficient. They never upsell anything and always provide incredible service. They have shown me broken parts, explained what is wrong with the car in a language I can understand, and has helped us out countless times. I don't know anything about cars and I always feel respected and heard as a customer. I HIGHLY recommend Zip In!! read more

The team at ZipinAuto is very responsive, flexible and forthright. Both times I came in for an oil change the process was very speedy and transparent. As a young woman coming into an auto shop alone can be a testing experience (up selling, etc.) but the team here has made me feel comfortable and walked me through the process without muddying the waters in a professional manner. I would be happy to recommend this to friends and family without hesitation (already took my moms car here) - not to mention the prices are competitive & beyond reasonable for the zipcode. Will be coming here for all future repairs as well considering the quality of the service to my vehicle so far. Bonus points for the newly renovated, cozy waiting area - very different from all the other auto shops I've experienced in the past Look no further for a trustworthy autoshop team :) read more

My car's engine overheated and the coolant was leaking and have to have it towed to this shop on July 01. They discovered that the coolant outlet flange was leaking and told me that the unbranded after market part will cost $145. I asked them to call Capitol Mazda dealer for the price of the genuine OEM part. The lady pretend to call the Capitol Mazda dealer and then told me that the genuine OEM dealer part will be more than $200 and claimed that the genuine OEM part does not come with sensor or gasket (and I have to buy them separately), and claimed that the dealer don't have that part in stock at that time and I have to leave my car in the shop to be fixed next day. I have no choices but to proceed the repair with the unbranded after market part. After they replaced that part, I repeatedly asked them to check if thermostat is good, the lady in the shop replied "if the thermostat is good, why spent money to replace it". I finally asked the mechanics who worked on it if he can check the thermostat, he replied since the fan was turning, the thermostat must be good. I told him that the fan's turning has nothing to do with the thermostat's status and asked him to touch the radiator hoses to see if thermostat is good. This mechanics is not knowledgeable on how to test the thermostat at all. On July 02, I called the Capitol Mazda dealer and found out what Zip in Auto told me was total lie. Capitol Mazda dealer told me that this genuine OEM part comes with sensor and gasket and they have that part in stock all the time, and the price of this genuine OEM part is $145. Zip In auto lied to me to push me to use the poor quality unbranded part and overly charged me on the unbranded after market part (Amazon sell it from $24 to $50), they charged me that poor quality part for the price of genuine dealer OEM part ($145). They also overly charged me $50 for the coolant (which should be less than $10). I then called the Zip in Auto on July 02, and the owner of this shop fooled me around, when I asked him which brand is that part, he cannot tell me the brand and said the part was ordered by the lady and she was not there. Overall, this shop is very dishonest and greedy. The owner posted a comment below and stated that he gave me $180 discount for the part. That's a total lie. The lady and the owner told me initially that the $180 is for diagnosis but it will be waived if I proceeded with repair. It is not a discount for the parts at all. They charged me the part for $145 and coolant for $50, and the $180 is not the discount for the parts at all, but the waived diagnosis fee after I proceeded with the repair. From the beginning, I asked the shop owner to do pressurize test on the cooling system for diagnosis, he simply pour water into the coolant reservoir tank and the coolant leak out from the coolant outlet flange, and then he said he will have to fix the leak on the coolant outlet flange before doing any pressurize testing (which he never did), and this simply pouring of the water into coolant reservoir tank costs $180 as diagnosis, and they told me that this $180 will be waived if I agree to proceed wit the repair, and this waived $180 diagnosis fee is never the discount for the parts. The owner posted "We found OEM PART from WORLD PAC which sell original dealer parts.we have the receipt and the part number.". The part this shop use is never original dealer part (I saw the box with no brand no Mazda Label or Logo on it), and Capitol Mazda dealer has that genuine OEM part, they lied to me that Capital Mazda did not have it and thus forced me to use that poor quality part. The WORLD PAC's part is never original dealer part. This shop's order from World Pac has the corresponding part number, but that did not mean it is genuine OEM dealer part, the shop owner and the lady admitting they were using the after market part from the beginning because they lied to me that the Capitol Mazda did not have that genuine OEM part in stock. They showed me the box with no Mazda label or logo on it for the after market parts. Nitesh Kumar, and his wife are very pathetic liars. I have my own evidences and recordings, and their so-called evidences presented in the BBB further proved they lied all the way (their evidences are self-incriminating against themselves). In their attached photo (submitted to BBB) for the quote from Capitol Mazda Part (dated July 01), the genuine Mazda parts costed only $116.49. They know that well but told me very different things that the genuine Mazda part at Capitol Mazda will cost more than $200 and that Capitol Mazda dealer didn't have the parts in stock (untrue). Their aftermarket part from World Pac is of unknown brand and costed at the range of $23 to $45, but they charged me $145 and later claimed that their parts from World PAC is genuine Mazda parts. That's total lie, the website of World Pac shows the brands and suppliers they used, none of them are genuine Mazda parts. read more

Natish did a really good job working on my car, very affordable and easy to work with with a happy face. Would definitely recommend in future. read more

Friendly, helpful service. They fixed our brakes for what seemed like a reasonable price. Would definitely go back again.

I had a superior experience at Zip in Auto recently. From start to finish, their service was top-notch. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and is the best auto shop I have experienced. I went from Millbrae, and the quality of service and prices were extremely satisfactory. The quality of the owner Nitesh and employees workmanship was evident as they efficiently replaced my worn-out rotors, tire replacement, change of transmission oil, and check engine light ensuring everything was done with precision. Moreover, the atmosphere was welcoming and professional, making me feel confident that my car was in good hands. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, with complimentary refreshments available. Throughout the process, they kept me informed of the progress and any additional recommendations, demonstrating a genuine concern for my vehicle's safety and performance. read more

Wanted to write a review since they recently renovated the area and was thoroughly pleased with the way it turned out. Before the renovation the waiting area at this shop was tiny and bearable but now it's super roomy and has a modern feel to it. Found out by chatting with Nitesh that making a spacious waiting room was something he's been meaning to do for us Came here on multiple different occasions and all the times my experience were great! Customer service, speed, and professionalism all hit the check marks. Compared to the usual shop I go to, it's slightly higher. Competitively priced. I find it justifiable because there isn't any upselling. They pinpoint the main reason for your visit and during inspection or while working on your vehicle they might stumble upon something that may need to be serviced in the future and let you know. Five stars because being diligent and hardworking goes a long way. I hope to be a returning customer over the years and can't wait for you guys to grow read more

Needed my battery replaced, just bought one at AutoZone and the employees there couldn't replace it for me. Called Zip In, they were able to get me in and out in 30 minutes. Super friendly, customer service oriented, and gave me a great deal since it was an easy task. Highly recommend for your auto repair needs, I think they also have an auto body shop as well! read more

It is never a good feeling to have your car break down when it seems like you have a million things to do. Whenever I encounter car troubles, they are always there to save me!

They have always been pretty quick and fairly priced. The staff has always been super nice.

Wow! Super impressed. They quoted me with fair prices and I did an after hours drop off. The car was ready the next day!

The shop was clean, comfortable, and the mechanics seemed top notch. I would trust this shop with my car again. read more
