San Jose Auto Repair

This place is one of the best Auto Centers in Bay Area!! good service and reasonable price!

They did an excellent job for brake fluid change! They gave me a reasonable price on that if you mention you check in from yelp. My car needs to brake flush and South Bay Honda was $100+, so I decided to go somewhere else. I called in on Thursday and make an appointment and Anthony was very helpful. Just took an hour to finish it and they also check out everything else include your tire pressure. It's nice job for them!

Alvin's Auto is my exclusive shop for my car. They do quality work and are extremely reliable. They do not push any fixes on you and only recommend things that are urgent. I found this shop through yelp and have recommended it to my friends and family. Tony and the other workers are friendly, respectful, honest and knowledgeable. If you are looking for an honest shop with good people, this is the place to go.

We've been getting our Camry serviced at Alvin's for the past 3 years. Excellent customer service, reasonable prices, and nice people.

Alvin's Auto is now the only place I take my car for maintenance. If car years are anything like dog years, my Camry is 133 human years old. But I swear every time I pick it from Alvin's, it's like my car is 16 again and just had its first kiss. Thank you Tony & co for keeping my old-ass car alive and kickin'. So I'm that typical girl who has no idea what goes on under the hood of her car. And I absolutely look it. It would be too easy to rip me off, especially when I show up alone in all my five-foot-tall splendor saying that I have no clue why my check engine light is on. But I was referred to Alvin's Auto by a friend, and after checking the Yelp reviews I felt pretty confident about taking my car there. Everyone is totally right. Tony helped me out, made me feel at home, and best of all charged me a reasonable fee. Hopefully I never see the need to repair my car again... but if I did, I'd be back here in a heartbeat.

I brought my MDX in after I had some codes go off. Tony helped me with pulling the codes and doing an inspection on the car. My car story is a long, stressful one which I won't bore you all with. BUT, I must say how impressed I was with the service and helpfulness I got at Alvin's that I didn't get at the Acura dealership. I'm bringing my business here from now on and not the dealership.

I went in to get my 2001 Mercedes ML 320 safety inspection done since I recently inherited it from my sister. This has to be one of the most courteous and down to earth car repair shop. ALVIN and his son are both very polite, to the point people. I mainly dealt with Tony. He listened to all my problems, investigated each one of them thoroughly, communicated things back to me promptly and gave me good advice. At the end of the service, I walked away a confident driver knowing my car is now in good shape. Would highly recommend this place. Parking is a bit tricky at times since there are many car repair shops and too many cars there, but it's manageable.

I hate feeling like i'm getting taken advantage of, this is not the case here. They have always been super professional. I drive from Sunnyvale just to have him work on my cars.

I've always serviced my car at the dealership for the fact of feeling comfortable until I was introduced to Alvin's by my brother in law. My first experience was exceptional, I was able to drop of my car at night through the nigh owl drop box, Tony called me the following day to discuss the services he recommends, some other items they found and when to expect services to be completed. When I went to pick up my car they explained why repairs were made, the reason for why they recommended those repairs and what to expect next time around. Tony also showed me some of my old damaged parts that were replaced. Service is great, good prices, very friendly, they don't push unnecessary services that are not needed. I'm going to drop my car of for service today! Talk about communication! Tony called me two days in a row to give me updates on progress. He even offered to take my car across the street for a smog check. Service can't get better than this.

Alvin's is EXCELLENT! His son's are true professionals and their work and business ethics are one of the best out there in the industry. My father in law goes here for most of his repair work, and for my first experience I decided to bring my car in for a brake repair to fix what Firestone had broke but would not take responsibility for. Tony said that they will do a courtesy inspection first and let me know what was wrong before doing any work. When i got the call from them I was surprised as not only did they inspect it, but they fix my car and said it was no charge as it was just a minor adjustment that needed to be done. My second experience is just as great as Tony was kind enough to squeeze me in to their FULL schedule to fix my car's broken window relay. Needless to say, I was amazed by their honesty, courtesy, workmanship and also professionalism. I highly recommend them.
