San Jose Auto Repair

Alvin has earned the trust and respect of many people including mine and my husband's. He's very honest and doesn't try to nickel-and-dime you. Highly recommend!

My review is based on service and oil change. My car was alerting me that my engine oil pressure is low, more so today than any day. So called around and see if there's anything available. When I called, they were willing to accommodate me. First time coming here, so was alittle lost, but when I got there, I was greeted warmly. Told them my problem, I didn't have to ask, but they checked the surroundings of the engine and found them to be ok and there's no leak. They even told me that a regular engine oil will be good enough, which all the other places I've been to for the past 10years failed to tell me. They also made suggestion about my blades. With all things done, I didn't break my bank. Hard to find honest businesses nowadays. Overall experience was superb!

Excellent service and excellent work for affordable prices! Had some trouble with my Toyota Tacoma awhile back (check engine light was on and kept stalling when I would start it), dropped it off without an appointment and was fixed in a few days. They did a full analysis of the truck and found some additional problems that they rated in terms of importance and I had them fix a few other things as well. Best part - a month or say later the same problem was happening so I took it back and not only did they fix it for free (turns out the new part was faulty), but Anthony (love him!) kept the truck a few extra days to drive it and make sure all problems were resolved as he didn't want me to break down on the highway or in the city (I have a long commute). Excellent work and dedication to service - cannot give a high enough recommendation!

this place got the best manager (Anthony), the best crew to fix your car issues and the best customer service, I'll bet my evo if you dont like it here

Brought in my Lexus today for an oil change . Called in before to make an appointment for 11. Got there , was greeted quickly and they took my Lexus in right away. Awesome crew. Will definitely come back for future services.

I had 2005 g35 coupe that i have and i had a knocking noise on my engine and i went to this place Alvins Auto Center and ask them for my car to get it fix. I spoke to Anthony which is the manager such a nice guy tell everything whats up with my car so he gave me an estimate for the car and i know its gonna be expensive because its a engine problem so i ask him if its ok to fix it when i have money to pay for the repair and his ok with so he didnt charge me for anything for the car he just told me just come back whenever im ready to repair the car so it was coo.. So thanks for Anthony for being nice.

Amazing service! Very friendly and wonderful customer service as well! They greet you as soon as you walk in, which is a major plus.

Hi, I Had issues with my Nissan Quest . Some Engin Need service was glowing. Initially Alvin auto said that they will be charging to run diagnostic service on engine. I left the Quest there. At end of the day they called and said its all fixed. I went there and to my surprise they did not charge any thing. They said its spark plug which was loose after making it tight it all worked and looks good. I would strongly recommend this shop to any one and every one. Such a honesty you cannot find in many places.

Great place for car maintenance. Very helpful and friendly and they know what they're doing. Great service! You can't go wrong with Alvin's Auto Center -- Willow Glen!

After my previous mechanic passed away (Rest in Peace), I was thrilled to find Alvin's. Father and Son are truly nice people. Took care of our Lexus RX well with good pricing, including a difficult to diagnose Check Engine light issue.
