I rarely left negative reviews but I would rate zero star if I could. I got a few things replaced and fixed (AC, brake, oil change, fluid, etc.) in about 3 hours. Total charge was $1200+ which $900 was labor cost. Avoid this shop if you don’t want to be scammed.

I have nothing but positive experiences with this shop / mechanic. Devin is reliable, honest, and a good guy who will service your car promptly. He won’t upsell you like most mechanics do to make a few extra bucks. Although I hate care problems, this guy does it right and I’ll continue to bring my car here.

Shout out to Devin for loosening a screw for me on my CX-5, so I could do my own oil change. He did it so quick and didn't even charge me a dime! Come get your services here 10/10!! :)

Devin is a very knowledgeable, quick, and efficient mechanic. I called him concerning a car I was thinking of buying and he was able to book me in for a next day pre-buy inspection on the car. He was able to point out to me many flaws with the car that the dealer failed to mention and then gave me a rough estimate on what I would be looking at paying to get it all fixed. When all was said and done it was $90 well spent and it saved me from buying a money pit of a car.

I have been going to DownTown Auto Repair for a few years for all my car needs since my old mechanic retired. Devin is always willing to work with me and give me honest opinions. He takes good care of my car. I really like that I can trust him. I am grateful to have an honest mechanic around. Thank you Devin.

Devon saved the day in multiple ways today. I had lined up many critical tasks today but got interrupted by an undergird sound coming from the from left side of my vehicle. I called this shop and Devon was willing to troubleshoot the problem. Keep in mind the shop was already busy with repair jobs mid morning. Thank God, it was a minor problem and my distress anticipating a vehicle tow and rental costs and prospective repair costs were averted. This is a true representation of solid and honest customer service.

Had a great experience coming to this shop. Devin was professional and super quick. Had to run a code diagnostic to make sure my evap system was good got that done super quick and got an oil change in about 30 minutes. Super quick super professional and did not try to oversell or price up on anything. Bring your car here. It's in good hands.

I met Devin through a AAA tow driver and initially was hesitant. After the first repair, I felt amazingly confident. My Honda Prelude is 19 years old and through his knowledge, integrity, and reasonable pricing, my car is practically running like new. Everything from an oil change to catalytic converter replacement, he has done on my car. No one else can touch my car now.

I brought my vehicle in to have it assessed for some troubling symptoms that I thought were going to lead to an expensive clutch replacement repair. The mechanic Devon was able to assess that it was not indeed what I was suspecting. The repair was done much faster than expected and with Devon's honest expertise, for far less great of a cost. I am a grateful customer that will certainly be bringing my vehicle back when necessary.

I have been going to Devin for 11 years since I first purchased my car. He is the absolute best ever!!! I trust him for quality, fair service every single time. I can not rave enough about his service and professionalism and friendly as ever. Whenever I leave his shop, I always tell him the same thing, "Devin, my car purrs when she is with you" lol My car loves Devin and so do I. Ladies.. don't get ripped off from mechanic shops that lie to you about your vehicle, see Devin he will never abuse your trust.

I’m a car guy so choosing the right shop is a big deal. I refuse to drop my car off to just anyone. For me it comes down to an honest price and specific knowledge of what I drive. If you know what you’re talking about and are charging a fair rate, that does more for me than 5 star ratings. I called Devin about a part install and was quoted exactly the price I was expecting. I pulled into the shop and Devin immediately greeted me and laid out what I should expect from the job and included a recap of cost and total time frame. The team did a great job with the install. After the job, we chatted and Devin was very helpful in answering all my questions and giving me sound advice on my car. I didn't feel rushed or unwelcome to keep talking. His insight on my car specifically was amazing. He’s going to be my go to mechanic from now on. It’s nice to go to a place of business where people enjoy their job. Thanks Devin and team!

New customer here and Devin and his shop were great to work with fitting me in for a quick turnaround on a holiday weekend. Another shop declined service for my 97 Jeep for a relatively simple repair (water pump). Devin gave outstanding service and glad to find an honest, trustworthy and affordable mechanic as I’m new to the area.

For diagnostic I paid $180. Repair estimate was 3k to 4K for transmission related knocking. I got another mechanic fix my car for $213 (parts + labor) . SUV needed the transmission mount bracket replaced. What do you call such price estimate.. California inflation ?

Great energy, honest etc. He has a genuine heart and a great passion for what he does. He has gained a customer. Thanks Devin we need more people in the world like you.

Excelente experience! I was stranded in San Leandro CA. Look for a close repair shop and this one came first! I called @ around 7:30 and Devin picked up. Good sign because they open @ 8:00 am. Towed the car and Devin and Juan took care of business on my 22 Chevy Tahoe. I made it back to alhambra well and sound! Called Devin the next day to thank him once again! GRACIAS!
