1. My story is not new with my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. There are motor actuators (a climate control unit) that open and close the blend doors a little at a time to adjust how much hot air and cold air to mix for the temperature setting you have chosen. They are broken. Two years ago, I temporary fixed (thank recommendations found in Internet) with a manually control for winter and summer periods. I hate to do that twice in year. I decided to replace the unit in the dealership. The car was dropped for a repair. Two weeks past with no result at the dealership. I cancelled the dealership offer. 2. I took my Jeep and contact the Shiv Auto personal accidently, just to discuss the problem. It was good discussion; their knowledge of the problem was deep, their offer was affordable, and lead time was acceptable for me. The expert reader can understand a volume of the work to replace the climate control unit in Jeep. I was amazed with the result: (1) It was done in time, (2) it cost me less than in the dealer case. Good job well done! Got to know the owner personally. He is a friendly person. I should also note that the repair status was updated time-to-time. So, I could control my schedule accordingly. Great! I am glad to contact him. I would recommend him and his co-worker as the great professional experts.

Shiv auto did excellent job on the major 90k and 120k services for my Camry and Sienna. Both Rahul and Jeet were very honest upfront and delivered to their words. I strongly recommend this team for the most reliable and economic auto repairs and maintenance jobs.

Great service. I did a Oil change at Speedy Evergreen branch. I noticed a drip of oil on my parking. And with in 4 days I noticed the oil light is on. Oh my God. I got scared. I called my mechanic. He told me to tow the vehicle. On reaching the place he opened my hood and noticed oil spill all over my chassis and body. And oh my God the oil cap is not on. He changed the oil. Checked everything. Assuaged me and even asked me to get all the expenses reimbursed from the previous oil change. What a gem of a mechanic.

Did a great job repairing my AC along with an oil change and air filter change. The price was very reasonable and Nirmal explained the work that needs to be done and why. Very transparent. Will be going again and definitely recommend.

Mr Nirmal told me what was wrong with my car and gave the quote for completely different item. I was rethinking the conversation I had with him and how he explained me what was wrong, how come he completely forgot and started saying the other thing is broken and gave me estimate for that. When I asked about the brakes, he said he would drive the car to find out, but he changed his mind quickly and said, that all the brakes needed to be replaced for $850.

He is a very great mechanic. He helped me out so much, knowing that I have a little baby he fixed my car & made sure it was safe for us to drive. He was very honest with me about what needed fixing & helped me get it for a very affordable price. After he fixed my car I was able to take an 4 hour road trip two ways with no problems!

5-Star Review I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Shiv Auto Service in Santa Clara. On a Saturday afternoon, my car broke down in south San Jose, and I randomly selected a few car maintenance services from Google listings. Rahul from Shiv Auto Service stood out with his prompt assistance, reasonable quote, and commitment to repairing my car within three hours. Rahul quickly diagnosed the issue - a faulty starter - and replaced it in under two hours, beating the original ETA of 6:30 PM. I was impressed by the efficiency and quality of work. What's more, both Rahul and Jeet were courteous and ensured everything was ready before my departure. They even topped off the coolant fluid and replaced the rear right tail light bulb free of charge. I highly recommend Shiv Auto Service for their outstanding service, quality work, and commitment to customer satisfaction. Five stars well deserved!

Excellent service at a very affordable price. My Honda Accord had damages incurred in a collision. Front bumper, hood, fender and headlights had to be replaced plus some body work on the radiator bracket. The work was done in just two days. When i got the car back, it was like brand new. Great paint work as well. What i liked the most was the complete transparency about the work involved and the cost of parts. He called the parts dealer in front of me and put it on speaker phone so that I know exactly what the actual cost of parts is. I just realized how the other dealers and auto body shops fleece customers by overcharging for parts, not to mention the high labor. Overall, they provide excellent auto care at a very affordable price. I am going back there for all my auto care needs

Does a great job in replacing my Corolla rare bumper. The paint work and fishing was so perfect that it looked like it never got replaced. Very reasonable and honest with the quote. Both Rahul & Jeeth are very nice people and I recommend them any time.

I needed to a long road trip on 1 days notice. My Audi needed an oil change before the trip. Rahul was able to fit my car into his schedule, did a great job with the oil change and got us on the road. Really friendly, trustworthy and reasonably priced. I'd recommend them.

I went there for my car they provide excellent service on reasonable price. At another shop they told me $1800 for same part but at shiv auto they charge $800 and the part is also original. I really appreciate their work.

Recently I stopped by to get my oil change done before my long trip to southern California. This shop was referred to me by a co worker. upon my arrival I was met with the best greeting possible. These guys were super friendly and they listened to what I needed and I never felt that they tried to upsell me for anything else. I got my oil change right away and they also checked the whole car and inspected all of the fluids, break pads, radiator, tire pressure. I was totally impressed by their honestly and I will definitely go back and I be sure to recommend them to all of my friends. Kudos to this place. I found my place to take care of my car. Thank you to shiv automotive and to the mechanic that took care of my car and his name happened to be Happy which explains everything. AWESOME JOB.

The mechanics there are very good. Happy is great mechanic, he knows what he is doing and taking about. He will explain everything and only do what is necessary and won't charge extra. He checked out a used vehicle I purchased and told me everything about it. What needed repairs right away. Very good and trustworthy shop.

This is a pure scam!!. I had my vehicle with them and they said too many faults in the vehicle and I know that vehicle from a decade! They were trying to fool me and rob me over a grand!. I didn't feel he was right and pulled my vehicle and towed to a different reliable and trustworthy mechanic and he was able to fix the issue in like 20 mins with just a spark plug where these guys were quoting 1000$ approx or even more and please get a second opinion on whatever they quote as I feel they didn't even work on my car. As the other skilled mechanic got it fixed for 1% of what he quoted. BEWARE OF THIS SCAM
