Was highly recommended to me to try his shop and they weren't wrong! Santiago quickly replaced the engine gaskets that were leaking oil and cleaned up the area; he also adjusted the valves for smoother running. Drove about 700 miles since the work was done and everything is working good as new. Will definitely be back if I ever need anything else repaired.

I came to Speedy Uno Auto Repair in desperate need of a oil pump replacement on my 2004 Chevrolet Aveo. Santiago gave me a good quote and agreed to work on my car with no questions asked. He was ready and willing to do whatever I needed to the car upon request. As he was working on my vehicle, inspected other parts and found several problems that previous mechanics supposedly repaired. He found an issue with my timing belt settings, and notice my water pump was leaking. He also did a thorough inspection of my oil pan and oil screen lifter. His prices are very affordable and his work is professional. He has all the tools he needs to get the job done. After my previous mechanic experiences in Merced, Santiago earned a loyal customer. I highly recommend him. Thank you for fixing my car, with 301,245 miles commuting from Merced to Lathrop it runs like a champ.

Before I say what I'm going to say I feel the need to let whoever is reading this know I was not paid, sponsored, endorsed, suggested in any way to write what I'm about to. This is all coming from the heart, my personal experiences and observations conducting business here. Now here is my full and honest review of Santiago and his business Speedy Uno. Excellence is not a strong enough word to describe the services Santiago provided to me. Comfort is how I'd describe what I felt after a problem would arise with my car knowing I knew just the man for the job who'd not only be able to handle it, but provide honest and informative feedback. Exaggeration on the honesty which is something I find to be rare with mechanics now-a-days so that's a SUPER-PLUS with Santiago. I leave knowing more about my car than I did entering his shop. For example, when my engine block burst and for the first time I went to his shop, Santiago let me know all the current issues at hand with my car but also informed me on other potential issues that came with the initial damage (such as oil potentially making its way into my coolant system and transmission). He explained why he had a very good suspicion as to why that could be a possibility (which turned out to be true and saved my car), talked to me about options and different means of action to solving the problems, and how to avoid said problems in the future, let alone what things to be aware of in terms of potential issues arising as a result of my engine block bursting. His insight was correct and he provided me his insight with every assumption he had (that turned out to be correct) with my car in ways where even I could understand it. Santiago has helped me with practically everything with my car and the issues I faced with it in these recent years. I've never had re-occurring issues or problems with things he's fixed either. He does not "cycle" me like most mechanics I went to in the past have(where they'll tell you there's a list of problems and then once that's done they'll keep telling you other things need to be fixed, hence the cycle repeats). I went in for a coolant leak once and while I was there for that he let me know my coolant hoses where very flexible and needed replacing and ever since then he hasn't brought it up. Pretty much he'll fix anything pertaining to the issue at hand you want him to fix and you can trust his word on it if he says there's something else that may need to be fixed as well that's near the area that he noticed. Santiago is very thorough with his work and clearly cares about what he does. If I were to move to Modest, Fresno, Turlock or even Santa Cruz... Id still drive here to have my car serviced. Genuinely this is the most honest, best, thorough mechanic I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with and if you too want one that makes you feel comfortable knowing you'll get the help you need and deserve, give Speedy Uno (Santiago) a try, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Here's some of the services I've received so you know more where I'm coming / my wisdom from on this review here. - Engine Block Replacement/Repair - Transmission Replacement - Coolant System Flush(expelling oil present)/Component repair - Sensor Replacement (various Sensors) - Full Diagnostic(s) - Help fixing issues to pass Smog - Oil Change So again, give this man a call I genuinely believe you will not regret it.

A dependable local mechanic with honest service and solid results. The team diagnosed my car’s issue quickly and explained what needed to be repaired in clear terms, so I felt confident about the work being done.

Super fast and friendly service! I really appreciate how Santiago explained everything clearly and gave me car maintenance tips that made total sense, even for someone like me who knows nothing about engines or transmissions. From now on, he’s my go-to mechanic for all engine needs.

Santiago is amazing! He goes the Extra Mile for all his clients. I had work done on my sons car and he took it upon himself to clean one of the headlights, cuz when an insurance claim was done.. the insurance only replaced the broken one, so he noticed the difference and took care of it. I then took my car in, for him to do my headlights and they literally look AMAZING! Like Brand new! I tried to pay him, but he wouldnt accept it! Hes definitely reeled me in, as a regular customer💕💕💕

Literally the best mechanic in the area. Not only is the owner's high level of expertise efficient, but his dedication also to serve his customers to the best of his ability is admirable. He is quick, trustworthy, and hardworking. I have been trusting the man with my Mercedes C320 and he have never disappointed. From taking care of my suspension issues to my AC and transmission, he takes care of it all at the best prices. I recommend him to all my friends, totally would recommend to anyone else too.

Man where do i start.. i believe i should start off like this. Razzari Dodge had my jeep for 6 months. An couldnt figure out my Jeeps issue. They put a new wiring harness, fuse panel. And batteries. For none of it to start my jeep. An to just tell me my engine was bad, Paid them, took my jeep to Santi, within the first 2 days he said nothing was wrong but the engine an starter being bad. Got him the new motor. An within a week. Or 2 my jeep was running great. After a week she made her way to our new home in the State Of Washington. Since then hes pointed out a few minor details i could fix on my own to save some cash. Great guy to work with.

Out of all the mechanics I’ve been to and worked with, Santiago is by far the most responsive, knowledgeable and honest mechanic I’ve ever dealt with. I tested this out by first taking my personal vehicle in for standard issues that I was aware of, but didn’t say I knew what the issues were as I wanted to see if they updated me promptly and could diagnose the issues without constantly charging more. As what was happening with other mechanics lately. I was very happy with the updates, quote as well as the completion of my vehicle. So much so that I started taking my entire fleet there. I also informed all of my family about Speedy Uno and they are also only going to come here from now on. The rates are very reasonable, especially in this economy. Santiago and his staff are very knowledgeable as well as dependable. They will also work with you for outside the ordinary things relating to the vehicle. Strongly recommend coming here for your maintenance needs.

I recently had to take my car in to get a squeaky, grinding noise fixed. I'm always scared to take my car new places but the reviews were great for this shop! I was extremely pleased with the honesty and quick job! My brakes were done in a day and for a great price! I will be taking ally cat here now. I'm recommending Speedy Uno to all my friends.

Santiago at Speedy Uno Auto is the best and only mechanic you will ever need. Prices are very fair and the work is spectacular. He will find out anything and everything wrong and make sure you are good to go. I've lived in merced my whole life and this is the best mechanic there is. Very detailed. If you are in the 209 Merced area and need work done I highly recommend 💯

I took my car to have the brakes and rotors replaced. I was told by another shop all 4 needed replacement. After the brake inspection Santiago informed me it was only the back brakes and rotors that needed to be changed. The service was excellent and fast. Santiago is very knowledgeable and informative. He is honest and provided explanation on other mechanical questions I had. I feel comfortable going back to this shop knowing I will not be taken advantage of. I will be returning very soon and have found a trustworthy and great mechanic!

I brought my car to Santiago after another mechanic wasn’t able to figure out what was going on with it. Within a couple of days Santiago was able to narrow down what the issue was and he explained everything well and thoroughly to me. He’s amazing at what he does, and I’m so happy the expensive of the repair ended up being inexpensive compared to what I was expecting. He also flushed and replaced my transmission fluid and made sure everything else with my car was running smoothly! My car runs great now. Thank you Santiago for your amazing and quick service! I will definitely be bringing my car back for any future repairs!

Took my car to two other shops and they didn’t even wanna look at it because they though it might be an electrical issue My car kept draining its battery and I had a new alternator, terminals and battery so speedy uno diagnosed my Kia within a day and I’m super grateful He gained a customer for life because my Kia was 6 months inactive damn near

Santiago is a knowledgeable mechanic. Doesn't overcharge and is honest and will reduce the cost of services he didn't perform. He has experience in serving electric and hybrids as well as diesel trucks. He explained the problems really well and ensured that everything was resolved. Would definitely trust him with my cars and highly recommend him

Thank you Santiago! To start his customer service was incredible, you could see that he really takes pride in his work! Once I called in and explained the issue happening with my car he was able to get me in first thing the next morning! He really took the time to be thorough when explaining everything. He was able to find the cause of the problem and have it fixed and back on the road all within 2.5 hours!! I highly recommend this place don't let the area discourage you from taking your vehicle here. You will be treated with the upmost respect and quality service that you don't find quite often around here! I mean the ratings and reviews speak for themselves! One of the best mechanic shops around, with service prices you can't beat! My husband and I will be returning in the future for any services needed to be done!
