Alan and Sons

I took my 1956 Tbird to Alan. He thoroughly went through the car, told all the items he saw needed to be done. We set a list of the items I wanted done, no pressure to do more than I wanted. Alan took good care of the Tbird, and did a great job on the repair. All employees are friendly and helpful.

My husband and I just had such a positive experience. We had a car at the dealership after intermittently not starting. They couldn’t figure out the problem (lame). We picked up the car and ultimately it didn’t start at all. We had it towed to Alan and Sons. They found the problem fast, they were friendly and their prices we so reasonable we had the brakes done too. Really excellent service. We’ll be bringing our cars here again for sure. Thank you Alan and Sons!

Professional, knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly fair pricing. Alan has always been very helpful and he can find what’s wrong with a car quickly and fix it. He has works on most of our cars but we mostly take our BMW and Merced Benz to him because well I love someone with 30 years experience with German cars to work on my BMW or Benz. He also has a great team working along side him. Justin is also very great. He always tells me exactly what’s wrong with the car, literally he explains everything in so much details that even I can understand what was wrong or what he fixed. Overall give them a shot. You won’t be disappointed. All these 5 star reviews ain’t lying

I needed new tires on my H-​D. Called dealer and several other places. Quotes were $ 600 – 800 everywhere. Stumbled on Alan and Sons by accident. Called Victoria at the front desk. Gave her same brand tire sizes as H-​D and other places. She quoted close to what they did, but then said she thought she could get them lower. DID SHE!!! Yes after tire cost and labor Alan and Sons got it done for $ 200 less then anyone else. Alan took time to come out and explain to me how to break in new tires (since this was my first bike). Bottom Line… Alan and Sons is the only place I will take my H-​D to for anything. Great and friendly staff. Delievered on time and at cost quoted!!!

These guys are nothing short of AMAZING. Ok so I dropped by after reviewing them on Unilocal and wanted to get a 2^nd option of another quote I got from Wheel Works of over $ 900, and that was just for the front end. My front end on my 2005 Chevy Cobalt was creekin and my brakes were squeakin. Their shop looked busy but they were able to get me in the same day. WOW. So I explained the issues to the girl at the front counter, and Victoria was extremely nice, and very thorough in helping me.
I got a call back from Victoria and she went over everything that needed to be done. I was extremely pleased to hear the total cost of everything that needed to be done was $ 400 better than 50% LESS than Wheel works quoted me. Actually the extremely lower quote kinda made me wonder how everything was going to turn out. AWWWWWESSSSSOOME! Is how it turned out. No more front end creekin or brakes squeakin. Smooth as silk. These guys have my business for life, and any referrals are going their way also. Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.

Took my car in here 3 times, repaired a steering pump valve, rotated my tires/​smog check and got an oil change. I highly recommend this mechanic shop. its family owned n really friendly. As a college student its also affordable and they update you on where your car stands.(how everything is looking like brakes and oil). I’m highly satisfied when I walk out the door.

IF YOU WANT ALL AROUND OUTSTANDING/​CARING/​FRIENDLY SERVICE COME TO ALAN AND SONS!!!
My engine seized on my Pontiac Grand Am and had my car towed to Aland and Sons, righty away when I spoke to them on the phone I felt comfortable and wanted to bring my car to them. They let me know what was going on with my car and helped beyond belief.
Victoria, at the front, attempted many times to call my dealer and get the warranty process going so they can repair my car. Dealer was never reached and they let me know I could keep my car there until I can contact them.
After 2 weeks of arguing with my dealer, back & forth. (CARHOP, NEVER EVER GET YOUR CAR THERE, EVER) I decided to let carhop tow my car to their lot and take it.
Everyone at Alan & Sons has been such a great help and never seemed to get frustrated or overwhelmed with my issues. I appreciate that and will ALWAYS recommend them to ANYONE that ask for a great mechanic.
Thank you guys so much, you’ve helped way beyond belief!
There still is honest, caring and helpful auto repair shops out there and ALAN & SONS is on top of the list.
BRING YOUR CAR HERE.

Long story short I had my first bike (Didn’t even get to have my first ride yet due to major stuff needed) at a shop in Livermore; they had my bike for over 3 weeks… Called Alan and Sons and Victoria the receptionist there was eager to help me get my bike out there ASAP! So she quoted me on the tow but she then realized how close the shop was, so she got her brother AJ to help me just push my bike to their shop free of charge.
From there I formally met Alan and AJ who are the coolest guys ever! Alan the owner was giving me great tips and advices on what to do with my first bike. They started working on my bike and realized my brakes needed to be replaced and other things as well; thought it was pretty cool how they kept keeping an eye for anything wrong as they worked through my bike. They also installed some of the parts I bought before hand free of charge!
Once my bike was done they towed my bike all the way to Fremont! Since I can’t really ride yet… Loved their service and definitely going to go back :) Thank you Alan, AJ and Victoria for all the help and the superb service you guys provided!

Alan and his family run a great operation here. I initially asked Alan to inspect a 1969 El Camino I was considering purchasing. Alan did a great job doing a thorough inspection and giving me a heads-​up on a couple of potential mechanical issues that might need attention. And Alan completed the work quickly and for a reasonable price. I felt so confident with this shop that after I purchased the El Camino I brought it by to Alan to have the work completed.
A great experience all around. I would not hesitate to return to Alan and Sons.

Took my old Jetta again for service at Alan and sons. Now these guys were on my car like a Nascar pit crew, Just needed routine maintenance. Just like before staff was great. Ready when promised, and price competitive. Keep up the good work.
All the best

Heading home to Salt Lake City from a family road trip to the Bay area the front end on our van started shaking. It was around 6 pm so we found a room for the night. I looked on Unilocal as I often do for the best possible shop I could find. We showed up as they were just getting started for the day. Within 10 min they had diagnosed the problem and gave me a price and time frame. Allan’s son gave us a ride in to town where we ate lunch and went to a movie. We called them back after our movie and Allan drove our van to pick us up.
This family is top notch in my book if you ever break down in this area or live within a 100 mile radius of livermore and need service these are the folks you need to call.
Thank you again, Adrian

My friend recommended Alan and Sons to me — have had a couple small jobs done there — seemed genuine and fair and did a good job. However, today I am compelled to write the BEST REVIEW EVER for them! My (new) Kia was accidentally driven over a concrete parking barrier by my permitted driver (lesson learned). It was stuck and had pulled the plastic bumper out of shape so there was no way to just roll it back over without doing massive damage. I called Alan and Sons and asked them to call a tow truck to bring the car to them so they could look at it and make sure it was okay. Victoria said she’d call me back as soon as she got a tow company lined up. She called back and said there was a tow truck ready to come, but her Dad wanted to come look at it to see what could be done so I didn’t necessarily have to pay for a tow. He was there in about 5 minutes, was able to bend the front plastic bumper back into shape, lift the car up so it could roll back over the barrier without doing any damage, checked around the car and said it looked like it was good to go. How much did they charge? $ 0!!! That’s right absolutely nothing. When I asked what I could give him, he just said, «Your business». Done and done! And here’s a great review too — completely wonderful, trustworthy, people there! Thank you so much!

My 16 year old grandson called me from a street corner in Livermore this morning (I live in the Sacramento area) and said the battery had died in his car and there was no one around to help him. I checked Unilocal for a recommendation and quickly chose Alan and Sons, whose service averages 5 stars. Within half an hour they had taken a new battery to him and installed it. A half an hour later they called me for payment information AND gave me a discount on the new battery! Wow… I can’t say enough good things about Alan and Sons!

Had a problem with PS High pressure hose (leaking), and my regular auto shop was booked a few days, so took it to Alan and sons. Quick diagnosis, agreed to get the hose from parts supplier in a day, fixed it promptly, fixed a few other issues without charging extra (trunk remote lever was disconnected, had idling engine stop issue). Over all very good service, and charges were within what I expected after doing online research. Will go them any time again.

My boyfriend’s HD Road Glide was taken to Alan and Sons being involved in an accident on the highway. They were great with questions and working with the insurance company to get the funds in as fast as possible.
Alan and AJ got the bike disassembled, parts to the paint shop (MD Collision), all the repairs done and got the bike back together in time for our pre planned road trip! He says he’d definitely take the bike back there for work in the future, hopefully the elective stuff!

I needed my motorcycle transported to Livermore. One of the «Sons», AJ, came out to tow it. They were on-​time (early in fact), and everything went smoothly.
Great professional crew. I would definitely use their service again.

Came across this place upon a happy accident. Was driving down 580 heading towards Tahoe with the bf when my battery light turned on on my scion tc, then brake light, and ABS light. We exited asap and Unilocaled this place as the nearest car shop.
My car shut down right before we could reach the shop, luckily just a parking lot away. Without hesitation Alan and his son came out to jump start our car so we could get to the shop.
Turns out the alternator needed replacing. Anywhere else and they probably would have given us the run around and made us wait, but Alan helped us real quick. He told us the problem, gave us the estimate, got our car in right away and had us back on the road within the next hour.
Customer service was exceptional. Price was very reasonable. Service was completed within good time. Might have taken longer than an hour, but with their wifi access, our laptop and a smartphone we didn’t even notice.
Out of necessity I used this small family owned auto shop. If I lived closer would probably use it again. Support them good quail ma and pa shops!

I found this place on Unilocal to begin with and I’m glad I did. I stopped by one day to see the shop and talk to the guys there to get a feel on setting an appt. for my bike. I left with a good feeling so I called later and set an appt. to have some 12″ apes installed on my Harley Davidson. This is a tedious job to say the least and takes some skill to do right, and they came through will excellent work! Very reasonable pricing and delivered on time as promised. I’ll be going back to have some cams installed soon and will follow with a review on how that went as well.
Thanks for the good work guy’s…see ya next time… bike is great!

This family owned and run shop is amazing! Personal honest service for fair prices!
The family is kind and honest and friendly which is hard to find in any place of business these days. we had tranny work done as well as brakes and front end work. We will be a forever customer with all our vehicles as well as any new vehicles in the future. Can not say enough good things about this shop.
They do all vehicles and motorcycles and the turn around time was incredible as well
Wish I could give them a million stars in this review !

Amazing personal customer service and reasonable prices. I had a piece of junk cute little scooter I needed repaired. I called around and they were the first shop that would even talk to me. Everything was explained to me up front and the price was incredibly reasonable. Alan and his son were friendly, helpful and professional.
I highly recommend them!
