Fairmount Auto Service - El Cerrito (CA)

Karen Thomas I have taken my car here 3 times and I love the service here. It was a referral and I am glad I followed up and took my car to them. The owner/mechanic is a genuine honest and trustworthy mechanic and he explains things thoroughly to you about your vehicle. Their prices are reasonable even for the type of luxury car I drive. I checked out the reviews first before I took my car in and they got high ratings for customer service, being trustworthy and honest. I confirm that these are all true.

Janice Magrath Juan is one of the best mechanics I have dealt with. Honest, knows autos, and does not overcharge. He fixed a variety of problems on my used car, no problems afterwards. He understands autos and takes the time to find out exactly what he needs to fix.

ric peralta I have been working with John on all my cars since 2004 if not longer. He has always diagnosed the issues and suggested which items needed urgency vs those that could be deferred a bit longer. He and his team have also reviewed cars I was thinking of buying with a pre-purchase inspection and has waived me off some nice cars (in my mind) for what they were in terms of maintenance and reliability (not the best). Highly recommended team!!

Roger Taranto Precision is the best. Ive been going since Ken ran the place and when Luis took over, it got even better. They do good work, charge reasonable rates, and even teach me how to do simple stuff myself. They dont try to get me to do unnecessary work, and I trust them completely on the work they say is required.

Hoopbus Fernando was instrumental in helping diagnose and repair a failure in the throttle body of a CNG Bluebird school bus. Would recommend for heavy duty vehicle repair

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

Estefania Hernandez Highly recommend! My hybrid car wouldnt turn on in the AM and was looking for a reliable mechanic that could help address. They promptly answered the phone and were able to see & service my car that afternoon to properly diagnose the issue. They identified the issue and addressed it by end of day! Also, loved their customer service and honest pricing as well. Will definitely be coming back!

Judy Fein From beginning to end the service was courteous & beautifully done. I had a repair to my rear passenger door, trim on rear wheel well same side and repainting/touch up on front passenger door. Their estimate was clear. They worked with my insurance company and made the repair a fairly painless process. When I dropped off my car they called the rental car company for me to get a ride All in all this is by far the best experience I’ve had at such a shop. I was treated with respect.

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.

Chuck Paradis To my surprise. It was a great experience. I pass by this shop daily in my PT Cruiser without giving it a second look only because I was under the impressing they did minor automotive work such as oil changes and such. My normal mechanic is on vacation and my Cruiser suddenly started running terribly. I pulled into this shop and was greeted in a very professional manner. After a quick diagnostic. He found the problem and made the repairs within the same day. He returned the replaced parts only to find that he used the best replacement parts the market had to offer at a reasonable price. I recommend and would refer others to him.
