San Jose Auto Repair

I have had multiple repairs done at Alvin's as I have an older car (2001 Lexus GS300). They are very knowledgeable and I trust them to do a good job. I would definitely recommend them to others.

This the only auto shop i have trusted for the past 20 years or so.. They wont pressure you into uneccessary repairs unless your safety is at risk like bald tires or worn brakes...repairs are thorough and functional.. honest and dependable service.

Got to love Alvin's auto, when ever I bring my car here I can trust that things will be fixed. Great pricing and honest work. Thanks!

I have been going to this shop for more than 2 years now. They accommodate all reasonable requests. And you know what, they know what they are doing!

We've been taking all our vehicles to Alvin's for several years and have always received top notch service, honest advice and recommendations. Alvin and Tony are courteous and men of integrity which is very hard to find these days in auto repair. On one occasion, I called Alvin's from out of state while on vacation and they provided immediate suggestions and then directed me to a local auto parts store. If you're looking for great service with an honest auto repair company, Alvin's is your place! Kenny Brown

Elite '2020 Elite '2020 I'm not too knowledgable with car stuff so I need to be able to trust my mechanic. I am soooo glad I took my car (2008 Honda CRV) here because my experience here was awesome! I had taken my car earlier to Autonation Honda for a problem that turned out to just be an issue with one of the indicators. While there, they of course ran a bunch of diagnostics tests on my car and told me what I needed to "fix". They estimated the cost to be about ~$2000 dollars. I decided to fact check this by going to a private auto stop instead. I found Alvin's on Yelp and decided to trust all my fellow yelpers and scheduled an appointment. Booking the appointment was easy and fast. I dropped off my car, they ran the evaluation, and it just turns out I needed to do a maintenance check since I was hitting 90K miles and replace a couple of things (brakes and filters). But Alvin's only charged me a fraction of what Honda would have charged me. I was so thankful that Alvin's was honest, straightforward, and efficient. I had my car back by the end of the day. I would highly recommend going to Alvin's for any of your car needs. They're honest and do an excellent job!

Great service on my car, although they do need to hire a front desk person.

I booked an appointment for my 30k mile service for my Acura TSX 2012. The entire process was a breeze with real professional service. I got my oil switched to full synthetic and air filter to K&N. They also accommodated my time for the service. My car feels great now. I would definitely recommend them.

I had my first experience with Alvin's and could quickly see why they have such great reviews. In particular, Anthony was really easy to work with, friendly, and honest. They purchased the German mechanic shop next door and kept all their mechanics, so they have experts for all types of cars. Highly recommend!

Personally everything about cars is beyond me, yet Anthony will always take the time to explain what car services are being done, what we can put off until next time, and what I need to do better as a car owner so my car doesn't crap out on me.. lol. so I learn a little something here and there. Great customer service, plus who doesn't love a good family business! I can see why it's been around for so long.
