Almaden Auto Repair - San Jose (CA)

Ed Summerfield The auto service is excellent because 1) its lower priced 2) They have a big team of people. 3) they get it done quicker than any other small dealership gas station or even big dealership where they will give you a car rental. It looks a little dirty, but when you have a problem, thats the first place you will think of in the future. The owner is nice and intelligent and excellent customer service.

deidre johnson Dear Capitol Auto Care Team, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service provided during the recent inspection and maintenance of my 2003 Honda Accord. Your team addressed several key areas with care and professionalism, including: - Servicing the brake fluid and transmission fluid - Replacing the cabin filter (air conditioner) and engine filter I was very well pleased with the outcome. The car runs smoothly, and I feel confident knowing these essential components were handled with expertise. I especially want to commend the owner, whose straightforward communication and honest automotive advice made a lasting impression. In an industry where trust can be difficult to establish, I genuinely appreciate the integrity and transparency shown throughout the process. I took advantage of the advice given, and I am grateful for the guidance. Thank you again for your excellent service. I will gladly recommend Capitol Auto Care to others and look forward to returning for future maintenance needs. Sincerely, Deidre Johnson

Nicolas James and Juan Diaz are really good at their job. The customer service was amazing and friendly, and understood and made sure to write down all of my concerns including out of office texts to change the plan and the original estimate. The alignment, transmission service, and multi point check was really worth the money and made my car so much better already! Don’t look any longer, if you need a mechanic, this is the place to go! Some things that you can do yourself are a little over priced but as long as you know some youtube and car knowledge you’ll still get a crazy bang for your buck. They’re highly experienced and never added extra to the estimated price. I really appreciate it! Thank you!

Matthew Tomaszewski This place is a gem. I took my vehicle in to have it looked at, and they gave me a thorough understanding of what I needed to replace. Very friendly and helpful, and in the end refused me when I tried to pay. Not too many shops like this around anymore. I would definitely come back here again!

Ahmer Khan Ive known Tony who works here for a very long time. Tony is honest, works very hard and does a great job. He is a bit cheaper than other places as well. I recommend this place if youre looking for a good mechanic that will take care of you.

Melissa Hippard Alvins Auto Center is great. The staff are kind, helpful and good communicators. I brought my recently purchased used Subaru for an oil change and diagnostic. Fortunately, there wasnt much that needed to be done. Mike did share a lot of useful information about owning the car and provided advice on how to take care of it. I will be returning to Alvins in 5,000 miles.

James Doan I’m satisfied with the service that they offer. With my first time there, I was met with transparency and they took their time to explain the diagnosis to me. Will be the first spot on my mind the next time I need anything.

Itsivan Woah_ (woah_itsivan) Mr.Han and his technicians are super professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable! Dropped off my Lexus gs430 for some major work they got it running like a charm.

Emeer Affordable prices, friendly staff, and efficient service. I was able to get my car transmission serviced in a day with no surprises. They were very upfront and direct with me about the services that I needed and kept me updated on their progress. I would say this place is a hidden gem, and you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of their service. May 2025 Update: Khalil, new business manager, and Tato are both very professional and trustworthy. Tato, the head mechanic, went out of his way to help me find the most economical repair for my BMW. Two thumbs up for professionalism and superior customer service. I highly recommend them!! Also, the lobby has been updated with a cool new look for customers to chill while they work on the car.
