Hayward Auto Care

"I've been taking my 2017 Honda Civic here for almost 4 years now, and besides the routine oil changes and tune-ups, my car has never had any other major issues. I see reviews mention the price, but as someone who has lived in the area her whole life and has done extensive research around the Hayward, Castro Valley, San Leandro area, these prices are fair and if I'm trusting my car (something I rely my life on!) with someone, it's imperative that these are people that can provide quality service. More importantly, I've had more than satisfactory experiences here. I was first recommended this shop by a family friend who has been a customer here for years, and I was skeptical at first since I was used to getting my oil changes at Pep Boys. However, this was during Covid, so I really wanted to support more small businesses in my local area. Usually I'm wary of mechanics scamming me and telling me there's something wrong with my car when there isn't, especially as a young woman, but nothing of that sort has ever happened here. In addition, there was a time where I was not able to get off work early in time to pick up my car, but Ken was extremely accommodating and even though the whole shop was closed, I found him waiting for me to pick up my car before he went home for the day. I love supporting family-owned businesses, and Ken and Wendy are some of the sweetest and sincere people I've had the pleasure of trusting my car with. They are honest and efficient, which is really all I can expect from a mechanic. If you want quality service and love supporting small local businesses, definitely make an appointment here!"

"I phoned this shop in the afternoon looking for a smog check on my Subaru STI, they informed me that it was first come first serve. So I sped down to their shop and got it done. They told me it'll take 20 minutes so conveniently. there was a market next door, so I walked over to Chavez for some groceries and when I came back the car was ready for me to pick up! Service was quick and easy."

"They got me in and out quickly. They were very friendly. I will try them again for my next smog check l."

"Ken is the man. I've taken my car here a few times and they remember me and my car even after a year from my last visit. I have an older 2001 Saturn car that needs maintenance. To date, I have had my brakes, rotors, spark plugs, serpentine belt, along with other major repairs and they've done a real good job. It is a bit pricey, but man is this place FAST. I take my car in and it's done in a day. Also, one of the few mechanics opened on the weekends. Highly recommend them."

"I've been going to this shop for a year now and I could not be happier. They really do know how to take care of you and your car. They got my 98 Civic working like a champ! All while making it look like million bucks! Just check the before and after pics! If I could give these guys a 10-star rating I'd give them 100. Definitely recommend getting your car fixed by them."
