Antonios Garage - El Cerrito (CA)

5 /5 Gurjyot Sethi: I had truly exceptional experience at Antonios garage. I went here with a vacuum line issue due to which my car failed the smog test. At first glance, Miguel gauged the problem, performed an excellent diagnostic, and explained to me what went wrong and how it would be fixed. The repairs were done very efficiently with attention to detail. In no time the problem was fixed and my car passed the smog test with flying colors. It was also extremely affordable. I’ll be returning with any and all of my car related repairs and services. It’s always great to meet a car mechanic who is so friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Antonio’s garage.

5 /5 Wei Zhu: TLDR: Wish I had known Miguel 3 years ago. He wouldve saved me $10k+ of cost and days of time. Long review: Its rare to come across a solid auto shop these days. Most are in for a quick buck, and prey on the fact that you dont know much about whats under your cars hood. Once your car is in the shop, wheels off ground and hood wide open, you will be told that something else need replacement, and your cost goes up by 2x. Not Antonios. You know that feeling when you meet someone whos so passionate about their craft that they would treat your car as their own, even if they didnt know you from Adam. Thats Miguel. I brought my vehicle in after getting a $14,000 quote from another brand-name chain down the street, who says the engine has to be replaced. The engine only has 87,000 miles on it. Eyes watering, I had to get a second opinion, and Miguel came to the rescue. Long story short, Miguel did a full diagnosis, called his brother for more expertise, exchanged 20+ texts with me, gave me his honest opinion, the best pricing I could find anywhere, and some tips to further lower the cost. And the best part is - he did all these for a total stranger, sacrificed his lunchtime, let me drive away, and didnt ask for a dime. BTW, Im pretty sure he wiped my engine clean while he ran diagnostics. He most definitely didnt do that to impress me, just did it as a habit. You cant ask for a better mechanic than that. Ill be going to Antonios for as long as Im in California.

5 /5 Iván A: I Recently took my wife’s vehicle there for the first time to get an oil change. From the beginning They were very friendly, did a great job, didnt charge me any extra fees above their quote, and got it done on time which was important to me. Very happy with the experience at Antonio’s Garage. I will be back!!!!

5 /5 Emma Hart: I had just moved to Richmond, and was having some issues with the ABS, VSC and traction control. I am a new car owner, and was worried and inexperienced with this kind of issue. I went to Antonios garage and worked with Miguel. It was great. He was clear, straightforward, and communicative about issues with the brakes and battery. The costs were very reasonable, and the car is in good shape now. I will be going back any time I have an issue. Thank you, Miguel!

5 /5 Yishaya Robain Augustine: Antonios garage provided exceptional service, surpassing all expectations. Miguels expertise and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the repair. My car was returned in pristine condition, running smoother than ever. Trustworthy, efficient, and truly impressive - I highly recommend their services.
