Akins Auto Repair in San Jose

Honest estimates, good price, excellent quality service, fast turnaround. No bulls**itting. What every car shop should be. Servicing my Honda Civic 2018 for more than a year for both occasional problems and maintenance.

I came to this garage for an oil change on my Volkswagen GTI and was very impressed by their service. Not only was the oil change done efficiently, but the team also detected a problem with my water pump during the inspection. What I particularly appreciated was their honest approach. Instead of pushing to do the repair immediately, the mechanic informed me about the issue and advised me to first check with my dealership to see if the part was still under warranty. They were ready to do the repair if needed, but recommended this prior check in my best interest. Thanks to their sound advice, I contacted my dealership, who confirmed that the water pump repair would be covered under warranty, at no cost to me. I am extremely satisfied with the integrity and professionalism of this garage. It's rare to find such transparency and customer focus. I recommend them without hesitation for their excellent work and remarkable honesty! A big thank you to the whole team!

Akin is an honest and professional mechanic, who will diagnose and fix your car without trying to sell you things you don’t need. We even send our daughter to him with her car, because we know we can trust him. She went to Wheel Works and they told her that her breaks needed change and were asking for a ridiculous price. I told her to go to Akin, and he told her that the breaks are in no need of change and still have some life expectancy left on them.

From the initial phone call, to the smooth parking indicators, to the check in experience, Akins Auto Repair values your time and patronage They speak to you as a human being and I would trust them with my life I’m just happy that businesses like this still exist. Treat them well if you’re going there please

Extremely kind and helpful. Came in to try to diagnose an issue, they were unable to find it, so there was no charge! They explained everything they did try and referred me to another shop that would have diagnostic tools more suited for my car. Highly recommend this shop!

Reliable, honest, and ran with integrity! Akin, his brother Aydin, and the rest of the crew have been maintaining my cars for more than five years! He’s been great and I would trust no one else with my vehicles. I understand how difficult it is to find a trusted auto mechanic. Look no further! This review is long overdue. Thank you Akin for being such a rare person in this space.

I have been going to this auto shop for 3+ years now for oil change and filter replacement and more. Prices are great and work done on my car in an hour or less from their great team for my typical car maintenance. Always satisfied with doing business with Akins. Car: Mazda 3 Previous work done at same location: Front brakes + rotor replacement Back brakes + rotor replacement Brake fluid flush Multiple oil changes every 6 months

I like this establishment by two brothers. Always honest with their clients, good service and competitive rates. I like the honesty aspect the most and as such this review! I have been their client for past five years, I used to drive all the way from Berkeley and 40+ miles away just to get my service here. I blindly trust them. In the car business, can you find such a place? I have found one. All you need to do is give him the key. Everything will be taken care of automatically, including charging you the lowest possible amount. I did my break work with them and I’m giving him more business because of this fact. And for that reason, he is always always busy! Thanks and be well.
