Tom is fast and very fair in pricing. A local Audi shop quoted me over $3k to change the drive axles and I had to get a second opinion. Luckily a friend recommended that I see Tom! He got the work done in one day, including a fluid refresh for ~$1k. Would highly recommend this shop for all your vehicle service needs.

I'll happily drive to Tom's for all my auto repair because of his honesty. Last year I was told by my dealership that I needed $1600 in repairs to fix an alignment issue. Tom diagnosed this as a much smaller problem ($50). If you want honest, cheap, but great auto repair, then Tom is your auto shop.

Thanks Tom for installing the new transmission on my 2019 Silverado! Very honest and helpful. I hope I don't run into more car trouble, but if I do, I'll know where to go.Service: TransmissionService: Transmission

Good ServiceI went to Larry Hopkins first for car servicing. A17. They generated a report of car and told that i needed Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter to be cleaned. Total cost mentioned was $160 by the attendant.I was skeptical. So i told them i would do later. Called Tom's Auto Repair and they told me that it will be done with $60.Recommend people to use Tom's Auto Repair. You wont be looted there unlike Larry Hopkins Honda.

Took in a Honda SUV with some of the warning lights flashing on the dashboard. A bit of Internet searching had made it sound like the problem could be with the spark plugs or ignition coil, which was exactly what was found. Prices were as expected for this type of repair and parts, and service was very fast. Very pleased, and we'll come back.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

I just read the review below & am very surprised as I had the complete opposite experience. Tom did a tune up on my aging & ailing 1989 Suburban. I thought he did an excellent job, it ran better than ever. I will go to him again!

great service, great advice, great prices. Gone to him for a couple years now after a recommendation from a friend, zero complaints. had them fix broken suspension, engine misfires, and other regular maintenance items. no mechanic mistakes so far, prices are always low compared to anybody else in the area who still has teeth in their mouth, and they always provide great feedback for cheaper and more expensive alternatives to the repair (new vs used, replace a regular wear item while you're in there, etc.). Anybody who had a bad experience, no offense, but it's probably because you didn't understand what they were telling you and didn't trust them; which is too bad, because i'd be shocked if they didn't give you a great result at a great price, it just ended up costing more than you were expecting (welcome to the world of car repairs).

Great service, good prices, no-nonsense advice. Have been going there for a few years. Tom has been taking care of the service and some engine light issues for my Mustang and both my old and new RV. Definitely recommend this place.

Been going to this mechanic for a couple of years now... Tom is a straight shooter and will let you know your quote ahead of time every time. I have had work done from other shops along El Camino and it always ends up being more costly for whatever reason, rather than with just going to Tom's first.

It's really difficult to find a good and honest mechanic that you can trust....especially if you're a chick. Tom does great work at a great price, and I don't have to worry about being taken advantage of.

So, I called on Friday to make sure you'd have capacity to look at my vehicle on Saturday. I wasn't going to just drop in on you. You said yes and I agreed to be there just as soon as you opened. I was there, early. You were not. That makes my Word good and your's, well, something else.The man who was there (yet quite clearly didn't want to be, poor guy) told me you wouldn't be in for another 1.5hrs. He told me that I could leave my vehicle and it "might" get looked at today. Ha! That's not what was agreed on. Not when I altered my day to keep up my end of the bargain.Bottom line: You lost business. I think I can wait another week for what I need done, and I'm going somewhere down the street. And, Full Disclosure, I can't speak to the quality of your service. We never got that far. You blew it at the front door.Maybe this place is great, but by my direct experience, their word is junk.

I was recommended to go to Tom's Auto Repair by a local friend when my car broke down on a roadtrip up the coast. I went to the adjoining auto shop by mistake. After recognizing what a big mistake I had made, I came here and explained what had happened, and Tom's had me on my way in 10 minutes.
