I asked the business owner for a quote to remove the four wheel drive electric shift motor from transfer case and manually shift transfer case back into two wheel drive, very easy job. Also, wanted an oil change. His reply was he didnt do that type of service. Im a disabled senior who just wanted to temporarily get my vehicle running so I could use it around town for doctor visits. Two wheel drive would have been fine for this purpose. I do not recommend this shop.

The owner is ALWAYS gruff with females!! At first it angered me but now I’ve learned to let him talk…..ultimately the work is good, he is fast and nearby. I’ve learned his Behaviors and he’s learned mine. I’m satisfied.

I called to get a vehicle inspection, and to have them locate the engine identification to match it to the vehicle that I just purchased. The guy on the phone said my vehicle isnt a high end BMW and theres no way to match the engine to the car lol. Red flag bro, this guy doesnt know what hes doing, Im going elsewhere.

Someone from this shop bought a Mercedes 05 compressor from me in January of 2021 for $300. Pretty good steal. Well turns out a month later the check that has this buisness name and ADDRESS was bounced. So basically my car has been stolen from me in this case. This has been reported. And they are denying it is there buisness when my bank has a check from this establishment at this address. FRAUD. Nice scam “bro” what’s more weird is they come pick the car up at 2am. Who does that?!!!

CUSTOMER BEWARE!!! What you see is what you get. What initially attracted me to the shop were there unbeatable low prices. Every conversation I had with the owner he over talked me and would barely listen as i tried to explain the problem with me vehicle. Upon the “ diagnostic” he explained everything i tried to tell in the beginning. He then complained about the issue and the amount of work/effort he would have to put in to fix the issue. I have never experienced such horrible customer service. Go somewhere else to find a competent mechanic.

Took my Sonata to the dealership in Vacaville faithfully. where they would have charged me $1K for one part plus labor. Later took it to Golden Gate Auto, where he found additional issues but all the work plus parts was just half of that. Trustworthy and reliable!

I was scared to death. This is my first time with this guy. I asked him for one thing but his tech noticed something else I was unaware of..he saved me a lot of money..dealer wanted double what this guy charged..He was finished with my car so fast, I barely was at home for 30 mins before I got the car..He did my brakes and changed my belt..

Was very honest, told me the part was already replaced, just paid for the checkupAt one time I had this ongoing issue with my check light I tried everything to turn it off but did not succeed, took it to Golden Gate repair and met mat I told him my problem and he took a look at it. He later found out that all it was just faulty wires. He suggested for me to go to a junkyard and get this part which I did and now my car runs great just like new

Accidentally dropped in this place thinking it was the smog shop next door. Matt gave me a hard time about it, in a joking manner of course, but figured since I had some free time Id check to see if they would do an oil change and take a look at my AC unit, which hadnt been working in over a year. Matt had me in and out in an hour and prices were very reasonable. Extremely friendly service. Will certainly be bringing my business back here.

Drove to the shop and requested a radiator replacement. Matt and his helper had it changed in less than an hr. His price for parts an labor was half of what Firestone on Travis AFB wanted. Thank you Matt, for the fast service !!!

I have gotten a lot of repairs done on my car over the years. Most of the time I feel like I am getting the soaked in one way or another. I havent felt that way at this place. The guys here do their work well and that is what they stand by. I think I will just start doing all my oil changes here too, even if they are a bit pricier The main point reason for that is probably the better oil filters they put in there. My car seems to run better and the oil isnt as filthy when I get the oil change done here.

Matt did a great job! I took in my husbands 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser for some maintenance work such as new spark plugs, radiator flush, and drive belt replacement. He quoted me a price of about $255 which is about half the price of other dealers in town! I was a little skeptical because this seemed like way too cheap compared to other quotes I had gotten. This guy is the real deal. Very honest and fair. Not only did he do all the work I asked, he also called me and notified me that one of the pulleys needed replaced and with my permission he replaced it without any labor charge! I would highly recommend him to anyone, good and honest mechanics are hard to come by.

Review №28

Matt is dishonest, over priced and a corner cutter. I told him clearly what the problem was and asked him to fix it. He did not fix it and said he did. So I had to take it back. Then he tried to say it was something else and after I threatened him he begrudgingly fixed it and of course charged me again. NEVER AGAIN.

My jeep was towed because it wouldnt start. It ended up being a bad battery. They gladly worked with auto zone to get a free battery for me.

I am a mechanic I was looking for a smoke test to locate a vacuum leak, because I do not have that equipment. He was very rude and insulted my intelligence by saying I didnt know what I was talking about.
