San Jose Auto Repair

CERTAINLY WILL BE BACK!!!!!

Really good customer service and comprehensive inspection. Super pleased with my experience.

Alvin’s Auto Center Recently my car’s air conditioning stopped working. I went to my long time mechanic in San Carlos and he told me that my compressor wasn’t working, that it would take him two days to replace the compressor and it would cost me approximately $ 1,300 to $ 1,400. Since I use my car for work, I decided to call Alvin’s Auto Center in Willow Glen and get a second opinion. I spoke with their service advisor, Michael, who is a very kind person and graciously listened to my story. Michael also explained that they’d need to do their own diagnostic test on my car’s AC and, if it was the compressor, they could finish my car in one day if I arrived at their shop early in the morning. Thank goodness I went to Alvin’s Auto Center! They checked my AC and I learned that my compressor was okay - the issue was a relay - a part that cost approximately $ 28.00. Alvin’s Auto Center saved me over $ 1,000! I appreciated their honesty and quality work. I will definitely be going back to them to work on my car in the future.

I contacted the guys 2 times. Both meetings left the best impressions. The guys work quickly, conscientiously and honestly

Excellent service!!

Really quick service and communicative

My very old and very worn Lexus 350 was making noises from the rear of the car. I needed help quickly, and was able to get an appointment the next day for a diagnostic test. I was pleased to meet Mike, who was expecting me, and the office was neat, clean, and comfortable. Mike got on the test immediately and in a few hours sent me an exhaustive evauluation of the car, complete with photos of the problems and video and sound of the wheel issue. It is difficult to doubt or argue with such explicit evidence of malfunction. Mike and Alvin both were friendly, professional and courteous. I'd take my car to them again.

Most recently, I visited Alvin's Auto Center as I needed a front end alignment. The staff immediately noticed that my front left tire was so worn that you could see the wire in the tire. They were able to replace both front tires at a reasonable cost, which prevented having a major blowout on the road. So grateful for the attentiveness of the staff. I felt very taken care of by this team. I do plan on making this center my go to, for my car's maintenance.

Great place to take your car. They are forthright and efficient and easy to work with. Thank you, Michael and Alvin's, for going above and beyond!
