Incredible and quick service. I appreciate how honest these guys are. Fair prices, great work. They even added on a 12 month warranty to the repairs they provided. Very happy with this place.

I have been going to Andrew’s for more than 12 years now, and the service has always been outstanding. Most importantly, Andrew has impeccable integrity, and honest to the fault. Folks like Andrew are few and far between. Highly recommended, outstanding.

Andrew is a really honest mechanic. I trust him absolutely to give me the best advice. He had the transmission fixed on my Honda Odyssey for much less than other quotes I got. It was fixed in 2016 and it is still doing well. He also advised me after that van was in a crash. He gave me a good option and undertook the job and fixed it to the level necessary for our purposes, and certainly for a very reasonable price. I really trust him and California Auto Center and I would highly recommend them.

Wow how great these guys are. Brought truck in for and issue to be $200-300 fix. On site they noticed a cracked air intake hose cheap repair to try myself prior to shelling out the money for something that probably isn't the immediate issue. If I ever have an vehicle issue I will be going to them. The honesty and sincerity gives me trust in them to do right by me as a customer.

Andrew is a straight-shooter and very helpful. He does not sugar coat issues, is forthcoming about repair costs, and has always accommodated me and my car problems quickly, especially those that are of a more urgent nature. It was not easy to find a reliable and honest mechanic when I moved here but I’m very happy to have found Andrew’s shop.

Took our car to Andrew last minute for an oil change and dead battery, and Andrew was thorough and efficient. Prices here are super reasonable. Not only that, but he also spent 10 minutes telling me how to best maintain our car because he noticed some rusting at the bottom. Great guy who really cares about his craft! Would highly recommend to others!

They were fast, super helpful, and made the whole process easy. I didn't feel like I was being pressured into unnecessary repairs, and they explained everything clearly.

Stopped by to my tire checked out — nail wedged in the outer rim. Dealership and nearby auto shop quoted me $200+ to repair. The guys here offered to take a look and removed the nail, testing for leakage. Turns out the tire’s fine! Very grateful for California Auto Center’s friendly and helpful service - will be back!

Wow so glad I found this place, wish I had found them sooner! My mom has a 2002 Ford Thunderbird that wasn't blowing COLD A/C, only warm. So she took it to Serramonte Ford Dealer for a quote because my entire family services their vehicles at Ford. Anyway, I don't know what it was but they quoted her a few thousand dollars to fix this A/C problem stating that it may be more as they work on the vehicle. She was upset at the quote and asked me to find someone else. So I turned to CAC from Yelp. I brought in the vehicle and only stated that the A/C wasn't blowing cold air. He took the vehicle and told me he would thoroughly inspect the car to see what's going on. If anything major needed to be done, he would called for permission to proceed. The next day Andrew called and said that the vehicle was ready for pickup. They managed to fix the problem by adding refridgerant to the car. There was no leaks that they could see so he said for me to bring it in if there were any problem as the warranty is for a year. The total cost was $208 for the entire inspection and refrigerant. Wow! So glad to find honest mechanics that's not trying to take advantage of older female customers such as my mom. 5 STARS!

Found Andrew and California Auto Center on Yelp, and recently took in our 15+ year old Infiniti G35. Originally this was to do an oil change, replace the battery, and clean out the roof drainage pipes. He was able to provide an estimate over the phone and stuck to it. While the car was there, he also identified some additional work (tire rotation, replacing rear brakes) and walked me through both the reasons and estimates on the phone. He was flexible on both drop off and pickup, and was a pleasure to interact with. The pricing seemed very fair. Will definitely be taking my car there for future car maintenance needs, and highly recommend Andrew and California Auto Center!

The owner was super helpful and gave me an honest opinion for all the services I was due for now and in the coming year. He answered all my questions and helped me feel empowered in understanding my car better. I called other shops in the area to compare quotes and I got the best price here and was really happy with the outcomes. Will definitely be back.

I unfortunately had a flat tire due to a gash that went across the tread meaning a simple patch wasn't possible. Andrew was gracious enough to let me come in minutes before closing and took his time to ensure that the tire was properly repaired. For a last second, urgent repair, the price was more than fair and I was on my way in less than an hour. I highly recommend you trust Andrew with your car in any circumstance. Thanks again!

Super honest shop. I’ve been going for years and did not realize I had not provided a review. Just the other day - in the pouring rain - Andrew took my car in as my tire pressures registered 28/33/34/34. I suspected a nail and a slow leak. And I got a text two hours later saying the car is ready. Then I got another text saying it’s not, and they found another tire had a nail. So they really check over their work before releasing the car to the customer. That really provides me with a piece of mind and the type of service I would gladly come back to time and time again.
