ADS-Temescal Auto Care 426 40th Street, Oakland, CA 94609

"The team takes great care of my car! They often point issues that went unnoticed by the previous mechanic. Parking is tight but they will take care of anything you need. I especially feel the savings in my pocket because they find the long term solutions!"

"Phong was recommended by a neighbor and we used him a few times until I finally lost trust in him after he charged us to redo work he did only 6 months earlier that failed. I won’t go back."

"Phong is a great dude and runs an honest business. I brought in a Chevy Malibu that I was thinking about purchasing and he gave me plenty of info about whether it would be a good purchase. He did great work and kept me updated the whole time. Definitely coming back!"

"Dishonest business, I will never go back. My car started making an odd noise. I called ADS Temescal Auto Car and spoke with the manager (owner?). I described the noise and he immediately said it sounded like a transmission issue and to bring it in for a look. He sent me many texts with pictures of items needing repair, but he wanted me to approve the repairs without giving me any estimate of the costs. I had to ask for one multiple times. That should have been a red flag but I ignored it since my car was already in the shop. When I finally got an official estimate several hours laters, I called because I had questions. That’s when the owner/manager told me that the problem was in fact my transmission, but said they don’t do transmission work (the estimate was for other stuff he wanted to work on). Seriously?! I asked why he didn’t tell me that in the first place but he didn’t have a real answer. Then, when I went to pick up my car, he tried to charge me several hundred dollars for repairs I told him NOT to do!! He did end up removing the charges but only after I refused to pay for them. What a scam. Stay away, this is a very dishonest business."

"Fast but worker didn’t speak English so i couldn’t ask him anything.. owner was better but he wasn’t very communicative. I wanted to know why my tire kept leaking air and without responding about estimation of time of possible charge it was just put oh the lift. It wasn’t an emergency as it would air for a couple of days and I wasn’t needing it any time soon.They quickly found a nail, removed it and only charged me $35. It was fast and well priced. Communication was the only issue. There is little parking available but he squessed it into the lot. I also chose it because I could have walked home if necessary. He did seem to talk okay with another&. Customer who was very happy with the work ; Gail customer customers who was a male repeat customer"
