Ace Automotive & Fuel Systems, Inc. in Santa Clara

Very trustworthy shop. Henry and Alan will never steer you wrong, always fair, always knows the approach to any mechanical problem you're having.

My car reeked of gasoline, turns out it had evap problems, there were instances where I couldn't even breath from how unbearable it was. This auto repair shop helped me with that issue, came back good as new. Service is fast, at least a day or two passed when I got my car back. Would recommend to anyone who appreciates fast service.

I recently completed the restoration of a 1958 Corvette, and needed to get the carbs and timing diaed in. After taking the vette to another shop without success, I received a reference to Ace Automotive and Fuel and booked an appointment. The engine was running so poorly that I had to tow the car to the shop, and when I started the engine there, it was obvious it had some issues. After doing the initial diagnosis, they correctly identified that the carb floats were not adjusted correctly, and that the valves were also possibly out of tolerance. There was an exhaust leak, and the plugs had fouled due to the carb float issues. They repaired everything, and when I picked up the car yesterday, it ran great! When I dropped the car off, they gave me a written estimate for the diagnosis, and then as they discovered problems they updated the estimate and requested approval to continue so there were no surprises. This is a fantastic shop, and I highly recommend them! I'm forever grateful to Allen, and the rest of his team at Ace!!

We had an old ford carburetor that we needed rebuilding. Called Ace up. Dropped it off and within a day had it back on the ford running like a champ. It's great experts still exist out there. Thank you very much for the courteous and professional work and experience

I can NOT say enough good things about this joint! Current issue: 13Nov24, Was in San Mateo having lunch with a customer. Go out to my trusty 04 Dodge Sprinter 3500. She starts and dies. I had the 04 towed to MBZ dealer in San Jose at almost $650.00. Call my advisor and he says maybe Monday 18Nov24... I understand that they are busy. But in general, the dealer has no sense of urgency! This is my work truck. No work, no eat, unhappy customers that do not care that my truck does not run... I Think, think think and then the light comes on and I call Ace and get somebody that seems to give a shit about another person. He said that they are busy but get it towed over and they will look at it between other projects. Another $300.00 in towing. Ace ACTUALLY calls me to say my 04 is adorning their parking lot, unprompted to boot!!! I have a job at oh dark early on 18Nov24 and I need some tools, so I swing by to do the extraction. I see the 04 sitting out on the sidewalk so I assumed it has yet to be shoved in the yard to look under the hood. The pleasant desk jockey said he will get the key and a mechanic walks in and says take your truck it is done! You could have knocked me over with a feather. I drove back to my office and get a tech to drive with me to pick up the truck. I come back and Henry said we have not test driven it. I jump in shotgun, and we have a spin around the block. She is purring like a kitten. I had to confess that I towed it to the dealer before bringing it here! They gave me a list of items that need to be attended to. I will make a non- emergency appointment to fix the issues. This is not my first rodeo with these guys. They replace a glow plug that another guy could/would not do. They replaced all my injectors when the dealer was hemming & hawing about doing it. They run their operation like I try to. They are friendly, fast & fair. I really wanted to start this out with "DO NOT USE ACE!" just because I do not want them to get so busy that they can't help me in the future... I think that they are a class act top to bottom. I would even bring my wife as their bathroom is clean! If all businesses ran this well and our government ran this well, we would not be in the condition we are in. It swells my heart that I have found such an oasis in the middle of Hell. Thank you ACE team. goACEgo PS: Ole Yeller has over 418,000 miles. Henry said on the test drive, "oh it's just about broken in!..." I agree! I love my truck!

Brought my 81 Celica to rebuild the carburetor and couldn't ask for more. Expect to leave your car here for some time (not a bad thing for me) but tho guys are busy. They also made sure the timing, cables, etc were in good condition to get the most out of my pretty much brand new carburetor. Great service!

I don't trust my car with anyone. A friend recommended Ace Automotive & Fuel Systems to service my car. I contacted AA&FS and they did a great job servicing my car. They gave me a assessment of the work to be done and with a cost budget. Every step I was contacted and explained what needed to be done. I was invited to come to the shop and review the assessment and discuss if I wanted the work completed. Everyone at Ace Automotive was very professional and friendly towards. Every promise Ace Automotive made was kept. The service on my car was completed on time and within the agreed upon budget. Very happy with Ace Automotive work on my car. I am a life time customer with Ace Automotive & Fuel System, Inc. Thank you very much for your excellent service. Robert McMillen

Brought my '78 Datsun B210 to them for some idle issues and tune up. They diagnosed the issue with the carb, cleaned it up, tuned the car, and fixed/notated any other issues they came across during their time with the car. Communication was amazing, work was impeccable, and staff is extremely friendly and caring. 100% recommend Ace for any carburetor/engine problems, I wont be taking my cars anywhere else.
