Malviviente’s Auto Repair And Detailing - Richmond (CA)

Jentana Greco I know, your car breaks down, panic sets in. Where are you going to go ? Whom can you trust ? My car broke down and I panicked. My dad used to handle all of this, hes a car expert, he went back to Argentina. Found these guys.They could have easily overcharged me for everything! Went to them for a quote, went to another guy for a second opinion, these guys were the right price and didnt add anything extra. The car is running great. Later had another incident happen to me. Went to them, called around, again they were right on target. Trustworthy mechanic, what else could you ask for. Gracias !!

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!

Lorena Domingues I took my car to them last week, Daniel checked it over with great care and attention to detail. They pointed out everything that needed to be done, and I felt confident that they weren’t overlooking anything. The price they offered me was excellent, especially compared to other places I’ve taken my car in the past. I highly recommend their services if you’re looking for thorough, honest, and reasonably priced car repairs!

OG OG Not only did my car get repaired but in a timely manner and I could live with the price as well and the name of the shop is Leos Auto Repair

Nicholas Navarro This place is awesome! Professional and very friendly. You can tell they care about customers and they are affordable too. Kieran helped me out and was exceptional. Will definitely come back.

Dyanna Cheng Miller Javier and Enrique (father & son) have been my sons mechanics for a loooong time! They will go out of their way to help you! Its a bit pricey for my budget (this time), but my car was fixed with no further problems so far! TY

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.

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!

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.
