John is the only other person besides me allowed to turn a wrench on my Hot Rods. Anything that I can't figure out, John always has the answer. He also keeps detailed records in case we have to revisit any issue. It's super helpful on todays computer loaded cars.

2025 update: Another two years of great service; everything I said below still applies! They've been doing all my service for 15 years. They know exactly what needs to be done, do it properly, never try to oversell. They've never let me down or even come close. I have 100% confidence in their expertise, reliability and integrity.

The guys at Callagy Automotive are very professional, honest, and friendly. They do top-notch work for reasonable prices, and they are happy to answer questions, provide details about the work done, or warn you what might be needed in the future.I mean things like "Your brake pads are getting a little thin, but we'll just keep an eye on them at your next tuneup" and things like that. My wife and I have been taking our cars to John for more than 3 years, and never had a complaint about the work. They stand behind everything they do. Andrew Holroyd-Sills

John and David are just terrific - very skilled, prompt, efficient in their scheduling, good at explaining and will go as deep or as shallow as I am in the mood for. Never a problem with any of the work they've done on the four vehicles I've brought there! And they go above and beyond in scoping out what may be coming up in the way of servicing needs and putting that in my brain for contemplation. Awesome shop!

John Callagy has serviced my vehicles for over 20 years. That should say it all. He knows his business! He interfaces with his customers directly and factually about the diagnosis. He cares about his customers. He approaches his service with competence and integrity. Virtues hard to find these days. When you pay your bill, his two, canine, back-office pals are happy to bark an enthusiastic thank you! Thank you, John for being there all these years!!!

I have used John Callagy for over 30 years and he has earned my highest respect for helping me keep my wheels mov in’ with no break downs all these years. I know nothing about auto mechanics and he clearly explains issues, keeps my cars in top shape, and I have long ago learned to trust his skills as well as his honesty. Thanks a million!

I have known the owners for over 25 years and they have serviced all of my vehicles, trucks, jeeps, sedans, and SUVs. John and Dave are honest and thorough. Work is completed on time and per the estimates. I really appreciate the care that they take to ensure that my car is running smoothly. Best mechanics in town!

Great shop, reasonable rates, the best for smog and all automotive needs. The two very experienced owners are the mechanics, so you get to talk to the person working on your car/truck. (Hate the shops w/ service managers, because you don't get to talk to the mechanic working on your vehicle.) I've been going to one of the owner/mechanics (John Callagy) for over 30 years because he always does thorough work, so I never have to worry about anything; i can just put gas in my truck and go! They work on everything from old hot rods, to 2019 vehicles.

My mom, my daughter, and myself, have been bringing our cars to him for over 15 years. He's always been professional, affordable, and takes the time to explain. I trust the work he does as we've always had good running cars because of him.

I have been bringing both mine and my wife's car here for years. Always a pleasure and David Hug never tries to fix things that are not broken. David does thorough inspections every time and is happy to show you exactly what the problem is and takes the time to explain everything in plain English. I highly recommend Callagy Auto & Smog

I've been going to Callagy for over 10 years and have never had a complaint. Dave always gets to my car when I need it (usually a last minute call from me) and the service and charges are explained. There are no surprises. I recommend Callagy to everyone who is looking for a car mechanic.
