A&C Auto Works

So, having moved here from out of state, I needed to find a reliable mechanic to take of me in times of need. My dad was my resident mechanic until I packed up and left the west coast and driving out to CA for an oil change seemed excessive. So onto Unilocal I went.
I found these guys by their rating (also their proximity to my dog park was a huge plus). They sure did not disappoint! I booked an appointment the day before for an oil change and a transmission flush. They quoted me $ 200 for both which is what I was expecting to pay for the flush alone. That was the first sign they weren’t just after my pocketbook. While they did their thing (quoted about 2 hours for servicing) the dog and I headed to the park to pass the wait. They called a few minutes later to let me know my air filter was getting pretty dirty and could use a change but didn’t want to do anything without my consent (another good sign in my book) and so I agreed. All in all, I was out the door for $ 240 and now have a new place to take my coche should it act up.

Yesterday, I was told by a neighborhood shop that my car needed a new engine. Since I have a turbo the engine part alone was over $ 6000 plus labor. The car just hit 80,000 miles so I found this really hard to believe that this could potentially be the diagnosis. I was not prepared to buy a new car and I also didn’t feel right about spending $ 8000 on a five-​year-​old car. I found A& C by their rating on Unilocal,I went in and Malcolm and his friendly and helpful staff were able to figure out that I only needed a water pump and some coolant in my radiator. The total bill was $ 331 and now my Mazda is back to zoom zoom once again. I highly recommend Malcolm and his team for their outstanding service and excellent diagnostic capabilities. They were also kind enough to drive me back to my office this morning which is 10 miles away at no charge and no questions asked. I highly recommend the shop to anyone who needs a minor or major repair. I was hoping they would offer their 68 Chevelle as a loaner while my car was in the shop but unfortunately that didn’t happen maybe next time LOL

These guys were recommended from a friend. I now take all my company vehicles to them. They are upfront with you and don’t over charge. They also fully communicate and when they say it will be done by this time you can take it to the bank. Very friendly and knowledgable. No need to keep searching for a mechanic. These are your guys!

This place was recommended by a local Facebook group I’m in as we needed service for our Hyundai Santa Fe and don’t want to pay dealer prices.
For an oil change, tire rotation and new air filter I paid $ 55 even and was in and out in 35 minutes. Without the air filter my total would have been $ 33. They have free wifi, so my daughter could keep herself entertained watching Netflix.
Much better prices than the chains and dealers and good customer service. We’ll be back!
