I had some brake repairs that should have been a routine,
same day job but turned out to require a lot of extra work
(I strongly suspected it would in advance, so their telling
me was not in any way a surprise). They busted their butts
to get it done in the same day anyway, and when I got my car
back at the end of the day the braking system was like new.
Excellent work ethic, though I will add that in my case if
they had weekend hours their lives might have been easier in
my case as I could have pushed my pickup time into the next day.

These guys are fabulous (no, I'm not related to anyone
there). I've taken one Honda, three Toyotas (and probably
another car or 2 I can't remember) there -- they specialize
in Japanese cars. They'll give you a ride to BART and pick
you up, explain everything, tell you when you DON'T need
something (I recently brought in a Toyota Avalon expecting a
major service, Glen said I only needed a "regular" service
-- saved lotsa $). Need to pick it up on Saturday? Just
call and they'll work it out. Ride to your Oakland house?
OK. I just can't say enough positive -- I've probably gone
there a dozen or 15 times, and never -- yep, I mean
literally never -- had a negative experience. Check 'em
out... --John

I would highly recommend Glen and his team to anyone looking for a fair price
and great service... above and beyond the call of duty!

I found this shop through this website and have nothing but
good experiences with them. The staff is helpful and
competent. The prices are reasonable. I'll be staying with
them as long as I'm in the area.

I've been using this mechanic for 23 years and they don't
come any better then this. Once I showed up with out an
appointment because of the situation (it had started to rain
hard and my drivers side window would not go back up) and
Glen, the owner, saw me right away and fixed it for free. I
like this shop so much, that at Christmas time I bring them
a big plate of baked goods to show how much I appreciate them.

The world will be a better place, if everyone works with the
degree of manner and professionalism like this shop does.
They only handle Japanese cars, and therefore, I'll never
buy anything other than Japanese.

I called and told them the problem (cracked radiator,)
and they said drop it off at 1 p.m., which I did. When I
dropped it off, they had several other Subaru's in the shop
already. So that made me feel better that they know about my
car.
The next morning it was done and ready for pick up by
8:30. The price was about 200 more than the dealer quote-but
with no hassles. They are located in a higher rent portion
of Oakland, so I figure that was the reason for the price.
They even dropped me off at home. I have found a mechanic
finally.
