Best auto shop hands down! Came in for AC auto service. Very fast service got done within 4 hours. Will go here nextime

Elite '2020 Elite '2020 These guys are AMAZING! I feel comfortable with them and they explain everything to me! I know I am not an easy customer to deal with. They are so polite and professional and I highly recommend them! I have a 2002 Honda CRV and they take good care of us~

Just got back from being here and i am always pleased to go here. I recently just bought a car and wanted to get it checked out by them and they were very helpful with telling me how my car was. The people here are always so friendly and makes you want to feel as comfortable as possible and help you find parts for you car when you need them. I can't wait to come back for my 60K service! My mother has been going to this shop for many years and has always talked about how great this place is. I would have to agree with her. I've been going to Alvin's ever since I got my Toyota corolla in 2010. This is the only place I found was good at it's service for their price. The people who work here are friendly and will answer any question with as much information as they can give. I highly recommend this place. Read more

I've been bringing my cars here for years. The service is always excellent. The price is very reasonable and I never feel like I'm being scammed.

Gotta say, I love these guys. Read all the Yelpers reviews, and took a shot at it when I was having a problem. Took my 2004 Toyota Tacoma SR5 PreRunner to them with a smog issue. They even hooked me up with guys across the street for a smog with my truck. They changed the oil and sent me away with a smile, and with an estimate for my "wish list" items...these are things that will need attention for my truck, to get her hummin'in perfect condition again. Didnt try to talk me into a bunch of other things or convince me this or that was gonna happen if I didn't do something "right now". Tony was awesome, and I will def take my Silver TRD back.

Alvin's Auto Center -- Willow Glen is such a gem! I've serviced my 1997 Toyota Corolla at Alvin's since January 2013. I changed the brakes, the timing belt and did regular maintenance. Service has always been very professional and well done. One extra plus I love is that there are always detailed comments on what was done on the car on the invoice. This is something very useful when you go back and look for your car history. Pricing is really reasonable and they never pushed me to perform unnecessary service or change pieces before it is required. Tony and his team has earned my profound trust and even if I had to move house, it would be hard for me to bring my car to a different garage... Needless to say that I would highly recommend this place.

Alvins auto is the best mechanic in this area. Alvin and Anthony provide excellent customer service and always take great care of their customers. Probably one of the most honest mechanics in the industry. Thanks guys

I've been coming to Alvin's Auto Center -- Willow Glen for service on my 2001 Honda Civic for several years now. From break replacements to transmission fluid changes, Tony and his team have earned a deep amount of trust from me from over the years. About two summers ago, I had my transmission completely replaced. This was a huge investment and felt like a sizable amount of risk but I had been working with Alvin's Auto Center -- Willow Glen for about a year then. I gave Tony my keys and hoped for the best. Needless to say, everything more than worked out. Spencer (my car) came back in excellent condition and from then on, I knew I could depend on Alvin's Auto Center -- Willow Glen. I still go to other places closer to my home for getting the oil changed and 3 out 5 times they tell me something is wrong. Every single time, I freak out because they make it sound so time sensitive. I call Tony (or Alvin) and they'll tell me to come in right away to check it out. I show up ready to pay for services and then Tony tells me there's nothing wrong. He always assures me not worry and then we review when my next schedule visit should be. Not only does this show a great deal of integrity but it also provides a great deal of comfort to know I am safely driving. As of yet, there 73 reviews and all perfect 5 star ratings. I'd give Alvin's Auto Center -- Willow Glen 100 stars for being such a trustworthy auto shop. I'm moving to Berkeley and still plan on commuting for service because I feel Alvin, Tony, and their team look out for my interest. They are simply the best!

My SO and I love Alvin's Auto!! Great auto body shop who know their stuff when it comes down to Toyota owned cars. We brought in our '06 Prius for an electrical problem with the signal light and electrical water pump. Of course, we brought in the car at Toyota Stevens Creek for a price quote which was way over our budget, plus they weren't as knowledgeable compared to Alvin's. Anthony, who helped us at the time, he was well rounded on Toyota cars and carefully inspected the car by showing us what were the problems and what should be done as opposed to Toyota Stevens Creek who didn't show us anything but a printed paper of things to get fixed. Alvin and the staff were friendly, honest and didn't pressure us into anything. After much consideration, we decided to get our car fixed here! Not only were they helpful, but they provide legitimate Toyota parts and not generic brands that will ruin your car! We're definitely coming here from now on for service and maintenance! Well priced and efficient!

I love Alvin's Auto Center -- Willow Glen! Anthony is extremely helpful and he and his guys know their stuff. They don't cheat you or rip you off and tells you exactly what your car needs. I will always take my car here for any work it needs! I've had plenty of oil changes here as well as a tune up. Thank you Anthony and everyone else! Amazing customer service! Top service!
