San Jose Auto Repair

I have been going here for years and Alvin and Tony always do a fantastic job on my car! Highly recommend!

I've been using Alvin's Auto for at least 5 years. Tony and the crew there are always so awesome and they don't try to rip you off. A good friend of mine works for a major car dealership as a mechanic and he says you should never go there for services bc they always try to up sell and rip you off. One time I dropped off my car and the dealership mechanic said I needed a new battery the next time my oil change was due. Went to Alvin's and they said the battery was fine and didn't need to be replaced. Trust these guys 100%.

Honest, great and friendly service. They don't try to upsell like the mechanics at the dealerships. Reasonably priced too.

The car's air conditioning unit broke down with a loud sound. Alvin's diagnosed the problem, charged fairly, and brought it to working as new. Great communication by keeping me updated and coordinating details.

I do not usually write reviews when I am satisfied with the service I receive, and I think Michael and his team deserves a five star. I brought my 2008 Lexus ES350 to this shop when I moved to Fremont. I did some research on internet and there were quite some good reviews of this shop. Last week I brought in it with an AC problem. It was a tricky one, and they did got it wrong at the beginning. Michael called and was straightforward about what they have done and where they got it wrong. And they did not charge me for anything they shouldn't have done to fix the issue, regardless of the time they put into figuring out what is wrong about the car. If you are someone like me who is researching for a place for service, I would recommend these guys. They are responsible and trustworthy.

Brought my 3rd gen 4Runner here a few weeks ago and these guys definitely know what they're doing. I explained the issues I was having with it and they said they would take a look at it. Couple hours later I get a call with the diagnosis. At first I was told it wouldn't be ready until the next day because they didn't have the part which kind of bummed me out but not even an hour later I got a call that they were able to get the parts and that it would be ready to pick up by the end of the day! Upon pick up they even gave me a list of things I should replace/fix with what I should do first from top to bottom glad I found this place and I will definitely be coming back.

Tony & Mike provides the best customer service. Best quality work, price is reasonable.

I've been coming here to get my oil change. Good price. Nice staffs. Very welcoming. I always call to make an appointment. Never had any trouble!!

Im really happy to have found this auto shop for several reasons. I love how friendly, personable and HONEST the guys here are. They don't over charge for unnecessary things, they happily sit through renditions of "my car makes a tsk tsk vrrrrrrrr' noise when I start it" Best of all, its walking distance to my home, so I can get home without any fuss or having to get a ride here and back.

They charged me$128 to diagnose a.c., and couldn't find the leak, then wanted to charge me again to add dye, which should have been part of the diagnostics anyway. I can't trust them anymore for further service
