After living in the Bay area for 4 years I finally found my mechanic! Chang is awesome! Honest, friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced.Make sure you call in the morning time and schedule an appointment with him. I do not suggest walking in because he is pretty busy.I needed to get one of the wheel bearing on my Toyota Camry replaced. He diagnosed the problem and was able to order the parts in just 3 days. My car was fixed in just 2.5 hours. I'm extremely satisfied and will definitely recommend coming here.

I've been going here ever since I started driving, and ive taken every car here. Chang is the most honest person I've ever met, and it extends to how he is as a business owner and a mechanic as well. He'll never try and upsell you, and he is very transparent about what needs to be done and how urgent things are. He genuinely cares about his customers, not just their cars and how much revenue each customer will generate. Stand up guy, 100%.

It is such a relief to be able to take your car here. The owner is extremely competent, wants to help and may be the most honest service person I have ever met. Always charges fair prices and truthfully explains what is needed.

Best place to service your car for any of your mechanical needs. Chang is the best, genuine and trustworthy person to take care of your vehicle service needs. I had recommended several 10's of friends here and everyone is happy to have found Chang very helpful.I highly recommend Chang.

Chang is very professional and very honest mechanic. I referred to my son and he always comes to him even from 1 hour distance because he can trust Chang. We are lucky to have him as our mechanic in this bay area.

Chang has been my mechanic for the last 15 years and I refer everyone to him. His priority is to get your car fixed at the lowest cost. He is a great person to be acquainted with as well.

If you want an honest mechanic who charges fair prices and will not sell you anything you don't need, this is the place. You can drop in (though appointment is always better) and your car will be repaired correctly at a fair price.Services: Electrical repair, Air & cabin filter replacement, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Air conditioning, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil changeServices: Electrical repair, Air & cabin filter replacement, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Air conditioning, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil change

The guy hung up on me and can t give any reasonable advice. Don t go here for mechanic work. He will leave you hanging.

I bought an old car (Honda Accord 98) that requires TLC. My first experience with City Automotive was when I brought it to Chang to inspect. He graciously took the time to let me know what to expect with future repairs; but not once did he ever try selling me on a repair or service but rather asked me to weigh the costs of future repairs against the value of the car when these repairs become inevitable, i.e. I have oil leak eating away at a hose. I am fairly ignorant when it comes to car repairs and instead of taking advantage of this obvious fact, he educated me on how to maintain the car until repairs would eventually cost more than the value of the car.The highest compliment I can give is this it was the first time my wallet has ever truly felt safe in an auto shop and where the care of the car took priority.I have taken my car in multiple times since for oil changes and maintenance. Chang s professionalism, patience, and car care is unwavering. As long as I have residence in this area, he will be my mechanic.

I have been sending my cars to this place for more than 10 years, the Korean owner is honest and charge fairly. He won't try to push you to do extra.

Chang is very thorough and is very very reasonably priced. I trust his evaluation of my cars and I've often found his feedback and tips useful in keeping the cars running smoothly
