Townsend's Automotive in San Jose

Larry and team are skilled mechanics who diagnosed and repaired a number of issues with my 1996 Jeep Wagoneer. Where every other shop was “scared” to touch it, they had a can do attitude and tackled some tricky technical issues with aplomb. When it came to the bill it was more than fair. I can not recommend them more for your classic vehicle!

Super easy and quick experience. Took my car in for an examination after purchasing used and checked everything in a timely matter. Larry is super kind and was very thorough with the issues they found/ pricing/what he recommends I do. Was more concerned about what really mattered instead of trying to sell me all the services which was' incredible and human. Highly recommend! Super down to earth here!

I have a 1979 Lincoln Continental that I took to several shops before finding Larry’s Automotive. It’s an old car that needs regular maintenance, and Larry’s keeps it running smooth! I’ve taken it to Oakland, Monterey, and other long drives, plus to work occasionally, and it still drives like a dream. It’s the best feeling when you have someone you can trust to do a good job on your car and give you a fair price every time.

Larry was great and really helped us get our Fiat fixed and back on the road. He worked with my insurance company and made the whole experience easy.

If you are looking for reliable and honest car service come to Townsends auto! It’s honest work and car service you can trust . I have brought 2 cars for service and could be happier. From the first Time I got my first car fixed by Larry and the team it has been the best auto care all time ! Call the front desk and you will meet the most sweetest and hard working as well! Thank you Larry and the team for being so reliable and excellent car service! I will be telling everyone I know to get their cars fixed at your amazing shop!!!

Larry and his team are an absolute gem in downtown. I was quoted a bit higher at another shop but it gave me the upselling vibe. Larry is genuine and will tell you what you need and what you do not need. He and his team are genuine and are helpful whenever they can be. I will be giving Townsend my business in the future!

Had a superb service from Larry and his team! My car had issues trying to meet smog test requirements. After speaking to two mechanics, I consulted with Larry and he assured me that he could get the issues fixed. He was honest with his assessments and performed the services accordingly. Thank you for a pleasant experience!

I needed a qualified mechanic to service my 1966 Chevy Pickup which has a Carbureted engine. After a cold call and two services I can say that I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience at Townsend Automotive. Larry and crew have got my classic truck running the best it's ever performed in the seven years that I have owned it. When it needs its next tune up I will be bringing it back because I feel that their shop is uniquely qualified and very conscientious with their work. Everyone I met at the shop was welcoming and attentive and seemed to enjoy their job. Thank you Larry and please stay in business as long as I own this truck because its hard to keep these classic vehicles on the road.
