Cruz Auto Repair - Richmond (CA)

Mike Padua I have been working with Ali or YEARS. He is an extremely upstanding and dedicated person and his work is always A++. When going to his shop, you will be sure to have the work done the correct way the first time. He will always tell you exactly what needs to get done and is very knowledgeable in all vehicles. If you are in need of any auto repairs, do not hesitate to reach out to him and his shop. They are very efficient and communication is always on point. Thank you again Ali for all that you have done!

Adrian MtZ Ive known him for years, hes done great work on my cars. Look forward to taking them again for maintenance such as replacing the timing chain.

Milena Nikolova Gorge, Ivan and Brandon are great! Everyone at this place is super friendly and honest. I bought a spare tire from then and they even went out of their way to help me straighten up my car after a minor accident that i had earlier that day...and they did it for free! Highly recommend them and will use their services again for sure!

Chuck Goettsche Ive never written a single review before. I guess it takes a lot to impress me. Well, I got to say I am very, very impressed with Magallanes Auto Repair. I needed to replace the engine on my 1997 Toyota T-100 Pickup truck. This was a big decision for me, to invest so much in a 28-year-old truck, but if you know trucks, you know this is a special truck. Having lived in California for 50 years, I discussed this repair with two of my former favorite mechanics, and on the basis of a recommendation from AAA, I talked to Magallanes. The shop manager and the front office staff treated me with respect and extreme patience as I had many, many questions about the scope of this project. My confidence in their competence grew as I learned they had been in business for decades and I appreciated that most of the workers were mature (like me) and for example I was told the mechanic who would be working on my truck had been doing this work for 40 years. Well, after much careful thought, they got the job. I can honestly say it was one of the better decisions Ive made in my life. Throughout the project, the front office kept me informed at each step of the way. As long as I was replacing the engine, I wanted to make everything right with the truck so I added service items and new front brakes. When the work was complete and I went to pick up my truck, I was delighted to learn the work came in $200 under the estimate. Not only was the work done on budget in a timely fashion, but they did extra work. It was the little things...the handbrake was adjusted, a tail light was replaced, a future likely problem with the mechanical linkage of the clutch pedal was repaired - everything was improved while my truck was in their care. If youve read this far, youre youre getting the idea that I love my truck, and I do, but I also love the people at Magallanes. Whether its routine service or a major repair I strongly recommend that you go talk to these people. Talk to Adriana or Juana in the front office, talk to Alberto the shop manager and Im sure you will come away with the feeling of confidence and trust that made me choose them for my big repair. Tell them Chuck with the T100 sent ya.

Jesse Mills I had a grinding noise in the front end. Turned out it was the wheel bearing. They replaced it and checked everything else before leaving. Happy with the service.

Terry Shackelford Claudio and his wife Daisy are a family owned business. Their prices are always extremely fair and Claudio has efficient towing services!

Jorge Espinoza Im grateful to Don José. Hes very good service, trustworthy, and his prices are very reasonable. I recommend him.

Amita Basra Raul and his son did such a great job repairing my car - it looks like new! He also goes above and beyond for his customers. I really appreciate his kindness and communicativeness. Glad to have found someone to trust as my new mechanic as well.

Ken Oestreich We needed a quick inspection on a used car (pre-purchase). They took us right away, and delivered back a *very* thorough report. The mechanic took us out to the car and carefully showed us the problem areas in a thoughtful/candid way. Loved the experience!
