I called and made an appointment with Sako for my 1999 Toyota 4Runner. Once I went in, he told me he wants to diagnosis the vehicle for my ABS light since I informed him it was turning off and on. After a few hours he told me to go pick up my car and he would tell me what's wrong. Once I made it in person he charged me $125 for the diagnosis and told me it could be my actuator. I told him I would most preferable prefer since he diagnosis it I would want him to fix it. He told me his diagnosis isn't 100% and even after charging me $125. He said he can change the part after parts and labor and quoted me around the ball park of $650 to $1000 depending on part. He told me his work isn't guarantee and said of the lights comes on again he would have to diagnose the vehicle again for $125 to fix what else may come up. His guy is a sly cheater, I don't recommend this shop and take it to a actual brake shop he does have the right tools. His tools are out dated and said it was because my vehicle is out dated.
Right away fixed my breaks cheaper than the dealership BUT I get at 2yr warranty....yes, 2yrs. I've gotten work done & in short time was unable to bring back to fix their errors.
So first let me tell you.... I'm very very picky about who touches our vehicle because my father has always worked on my vehicle. So I needed a new mechanic shop I was looking reading reviews came across this shop I needed new brakes. This mechanic shop is the best. The owner sako and his employee I met are honest and very respectful. As a female I was kind of intimidated to walk in by myself at first but there is no need, they are so respectful, you do not get any kind of looks, any kind of comments. I felt safe. I can't stress enough this is a great shop. Not to mention how well they worked on my vehicle, I was in and out same day. The prices are actually way better than any other place I have called to get quotes or have gone to. And his warranties no one else can beat them. I do not know why he doesn't have a 5.0 and I don't understand how people say he talks mean or disrespectful, no way you just probably didn't hear what you wanted to hear. In my opinion we will be back here every time our vehicle needs anything. As a matter of fact I'll be back next week for my other shock repair. Thank you for being such an honest, respectful shop.
These guys have helped me out tremendously, from a 1995 Honda to a 2013 Nissan. Sako and the guys have been very kind to me and my family. These guys were determined to find a solution to my problems and got my vehicles, and myself, back on the road safely. Thank you, Brake Shop!
First class /shop was immaculate and Sarkis a top notch guy. Very honest no B.S. Called at 8 am told me bring it in @8:45 did front brake job was home at 10:30 am. Absolutely fantastic experience!!! (CUSTOMER FOR LIFE) 👍
The absolute best place in town to take your car for any kind of repairs. The owner is honest hard-working and does it fabulous job! Every friend we've referred to the brake shop has thanked us! You won't be disappointed if you leave your car repair here!
I cannot say enough about this shop! They did a fantastic job on the brakes on my Subaru and recommended a place to have my alignment and a transmission worked on on another of our vehicles. Fantastic service, clean shop, and the owner is a great guy. Thanks so much for taking care of us!
Had an absolutely wonderful experience with these guys. Sako took me in as a first time customer and I will definitely be coming back as needed in the future. My brake job came out great with no problems at all. He even was able to squeeze me in despite us both having a very busy schedule. I am a very satisfied new customer. Thank you very much Brake Shop!
Fantastic honest mechanic. Sako is the best.
Awsome service And great people.
Highly recommend this shop. Sako was recommended to us by a relative and have been extremely pleased with his work. Would give him 10 stars if I could.
Would not go anywhere else.
Sako is great! He is very direct and honest. If he can get you in, he will and will give you a fair price.
The best brake service I have ever received. Good price, fast work, and reliable parts. Will definitely use again for any brake services.
Incredibly reliable!!! Always great when they over estimate the costs. They are busy so don t wait
Best shop around
I agree with all the 5 star reviews. I m taking all my vehicles to them for my brakes. They did a great job on my truck along with excellent info and customer service. Thanks gentlemen!
Specialize in brakes so know their stuff. Also better price than the chain stores. Follows up on any problems and makes sure its done right.
They dont know how to talk nicely with customers. Damn you guys, i wont come here ever. Stupid shop.
Great service!
Honest service. Other places told me I needed new rotors and brakes. When Brake Shop inspected the car he advised my rotors were still good and all I needed was brake pads. This saved me $300.00.
Sako was great. Got me in and out at a great price. Definitely recommend.
The guys did a great job. Efficient and fair priced. Saco was a pleasure to work with.
This shop was super fast, professional and above all else, honest. Loved it! Oh and he was pretty handsome guy too!
The owner Sako is a very honest mechanic I am very happy with the service and would recommend to anyone
I got a flat tire while driving on the street and I pulled up to this place nearby. Even though they dont do anything with flat tire situations, one of the guys helped me change my tire after I asked them (in know I should learn how to do it myself..). He took his time and he changed my tire. I offered to give him money but he told me no. I wish I got his name but he gave me excellent service. Thank you & May God bless him
Best brake shop in the Central Valley. Very friendly and helpful. This guy is willing to give advice, answer questions and always with a smile and good attitude. Price seems fair compared to other brake shops, but his knowledge and skills level are above. I highly recommend...
They fixed my front breaks and were a fair price.
great prices and fast definitely worth the money
Referred to Sako by a friend, called the day before and he was able to get me in the next day, front and back brake pads and rotors...for half the price of the previous shop I had been to! Will be going back for sure!
Best in the business!
The Brake Shop ran by Sako is a great business. Sako will be straight with you when scheduling time to diagnose any concerns with your brakes. He is fair, honest and quick. It is always great to find a trustworthy mechanic, so I highly recommend The Brake Shop.
The guys at Brake Shop did a great job on my brakes! Very professional and very reasonably priced. No BS at all!
The brake shop was very honest with me and easy to work with. They were also very competent and fast getting my car finished. I will definitely be a returning costumer
Phenomenal job on replacing front brakes and rotors on my Corolla. Only took them an hour at half the price the dealer wanted to charge. Highly recommend!
Sako was excellent to work with. He was honest, efficient and made sure I understood what repairs were being done and why. The cost was very reasonable and I will now be taking all my vehicles to him.
Too expensive.
Amazing price, and only best quality parts. I will only do business here with my vehicles from here out.
Ill never take my vehicles to another place again. They are fast, honest, and well-priced! Thank you so much!
I called last night and they made me an appointment for first thing this morning. Owner was super friendly and gave me a price estimate over the phone. Their service was super efficient and fairly priced. I got my brakes and rotors fixed and was in and out of the shop! Definitely will be coming back!
Sako is an incredible mechanic with a top notch team and excellent facilities. Most important, hes trustworthy and honest. Recommend him enthusiastically and without hesitation.
Professional and affordable,
Sako and Team did a Great job #bravo
Fair price will definitely go back
I made an appointment after speaking with someone. They took the time to listen to what was going on with my car, explored various options for solving my problem, and in the end, gave me the best deal for my car, did a great job, and in the estimated amount of time. I waited in their waiting area and they made sure I was comfortable and turned the heater on for me. I highly recommend this shop.
Very honest shop owner and does quality work. He seems happy and willing to explain everything to you. Helpful guy
Great service. My brakes feel way better than they did before.
I normally never do reviews but Sako left me so satisfied with my new front brakes that I had to. He advised me on what I needed in the future and figured out an issue with my car that I didnt even notice. Highly recommend Sako is the guy.
Yeah
I read the good reviews online and this place not only lived up to its great reviews, but exceeded them! I highly recommend this extremely efficient, affordable, and honest mechanic!
On a road trip and was having some brake issues and they gave me a few options and were very honest and helpful. Easily the nicest, fairest mechanic I ve ever been to!
Great prices
You are the literal man, sir!
Ive had several of my vehicles from all different types of manufactures at Sakos break shop and he is absolutely without a doubt the best brake and general repair and service in the valley. This business is honest, prices are extremely competitive. If youre looking for general repair and maintenance and or the best brake shop in the valley and are tired of getting the runaround, look no further. The Brake Shop is the best in the Valley.
Super friendly and affordable! Went to them after reading the other reviews and Im so glad I did!
*-*-* HONEST SHOP *-*-* A friend recommended Brake Shop more than 10 years ago. I bring all my friends and family to them now. Dont let the name mislead you, they do a whole lot more than brakes. Honest, fair, guaranteed work, and on a couple of occasions less than what I was quoted. They wont do unnecessary services, even when Ive asked him to Ive been told that doesnt make sense, its a its a waste. Lifetime customer, -Mathew
Loved my experience. Finally someone I can trust.
These people really know what theyre doing. I thought I had a rear wheel bearing problem but they discovered it was a front wheel bearing! Friendly, fast, accurate, fair priced service. Trust these guys with your repairs, youll never regret it.
After visiting several other shops in was very apparent that this shop had the people with the expertise to perform the tasks I needed. Other shops had very little knowledge of the tasks or what I was expecting or needed. Being a Certified Mechanic, I know when someone is trying to BS me. Sako is a fair minded, intelligent and a knowledgeable mechanic, who I felt comfortable that could successfully do what was required to get my truck in tip top shape. Thank you Sako for a job well done.
Wonderful shop great quality and service!!! Thank you Sako
Ive been taking my car here for a long time. Customer service is great!
Sarko is the best! He is super friendly with genuine concern for his customer. He has integrity and never steers me to get unnecessary repairs like some mechanics do. He has done some quick minor repairs and wouldnt charge me.
Friendly , professional and attentive and its done RIGHT, stop wasting money elsewhere they do it right and SAKO knows cars . They do general repairs , Honest and not expensive, hard to find shops like this.
Love love love new brakes. They did a great job and your owner was super nice. Usually shops try and get you to add on services but not this place. He let me know upfront what the most i would be paying and when i picked it up (btw the car was ready BEFORE i was) he described what he fixed and what else he would recommend to get serviced at a later date. No pressure to a return appointment, no mechanic language, just EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED FOR THE PRICE I WAS QUOTED. ( ABOUT $100 cheaper than other places I called) we WILL be using this place from now on has would recommend it to anyone
Brought my car in here and they had my breaks & rotors done in 30 mins tops really fast & Midas ovrcharged me for my breaks this place was 2x lesser to have done here and they work great thank god for this place no add on extra charges, no BS just the first quote he gives you and thats it even filled up my cars coolant and oil when they saw it was low. I highly reccomend this place !
If youre looking for an all-purpose mechanic who actually tells you the truth and does what he says, this is your place. Great mechanics, service, and a very fair price. After getting hurt by several shops around town, including the biggest con artists in Fresno over at Electric Labs, I finally found an honest shop. Do yourself a favor if your in need, and give them a call.
I really enjoyed my experience there. They were very friendly and trustworthy.
Went in as a walk in and was out within an hour. Cool owner and staff. Let my know what was going on. Playas price. Checkem out.
Wonderful service, HONEST service.
When I have a problem with one of our truck or cars I go to the brake shop I have been going there for the last 10 years. Always very knowledgeable when I ask questions about the problems I have. The service is excellent and the prices are very fair. This shop has my business.
The very best in town! Great owner and I am so glad my daughter found this place! So very honest cant say enough good things about them!!!!
Awesome service, and great prices. Will go back again.
Great owner, good prices, fast service. Always will come back. A+ This guy has great customer service and keeps his shop super clean; you can eat off the floor, basically. Highly recommended!
Honest,caring, RELIABLE, & affordable. Everything you are looking for in a mechanic. My visit here was by far the best service i have ever had. These people make you feel welcome and explain what they are going to do . The cost is affordable the brakes are great!
