Hayward Auto Care - Hayward (CA)

5 /5 R C069: Ive been taking my cars to Ken for a few years now. I feel like he always takes care of us without charging extra for unnecessary services. We have two aging cars with 200k plus miles on each. Both needed significant work this year. He not only did a great job but he cleaned both engines so they look brand new (a totally unexpected but terrific service). The pic below is from my 2013 Accord that has 200k miles on it.

5 /5 levi sg: Ken is the only person I trust with my car. I drive a 2013 Honda Accord and I always make sure to take my car to Hayward Auto Care when I’m driving from San Diego to the Bay. I’ve gone to multiple mechanics in the San Diego, and I thought that all mechanics were the same, until I was proven wrong one day when I drove to the Bay and wanted to let Ken see my car before I drove back down. Immediately he noticed I had a massive oil leak in my engine that my mechanic in SD completely missed. It was actually very dangerous for me to be driving my car with the engine in that condition. And I took my car to that mechanic only a month before my trip. Not only did Ken fix up my engine, he gave me advice for maintenance that I needed in my car to prevent any other accidents that could happen. And after following this advice, I never have had any issues with my car and only come in for yearly maintenance checks and oil changes. Not all mechanics have a keen eye in checking for future damages but Ken goes above and beyond to check the car fully to make sure it’s safe to drive, and as someone who constantly drives friends and family members, that’s really important to me. If you’re looking for a new mechanic and want to support a local small business, I highly recommend this place. His wife Wendy is also very sweet and helpful, and I enjoy catching up with them whenever I see them.

5 /5 Evan Dust: Great service… they reviewed a vehicle due me and gave a good detailed report of what would be needed to keep the vehicle running well and safely. The communication was very professional and I really trusted Ken.

2 /5 Jose Gonzalez: Came to smog my car and was charged $70. When I left they provided me with coupons for discount on my next servings including a $14.95 discount on smog check. My wife car also needed a smog so I came back 2 hours later and presented discount smog coupon. I was told smog check was $85 and with coupon it would be $70. So they don’t honor discounts they advertise and provide to customers. I felt they were not being honest.
