Honest (Maybe) But Overpriced – Well this used to be my mechanic. They came highly recommended to me and to date seemed OK. Recently I had two issues with my car, one very minor and one very major. I was expecting to spend a few hundred. I was mentally prepared. Until they quoted me $1,500 dollars. So, on my way to pick up my car from Ashes, unfixed, I call the dealership. They quote me $600.00 for parts and labor over the phone. That's a $900 difference for anyone taking notes. Lastly, Ashes also misdiagnosed the minor repa... read more

Smart, Fair, Effective Service. – I don't know if Ash is an engineer or not, but as one myself I can tell you that he thinks like one. His accurate diagnostics is a testament to experience and a very caliberated hearing. I mean he listens to the customer and his instinct. Combined with an obvious working knowledge of typical and new issues with specific cars/trucks, makes for one effective business. Ash will let you know your options and they don't all include getting things fixed right away and handing over your wallet. His... read more

Honest, reliable, right the first time – I found Ash Automotive after terminating a terrible 3-year relationship with a franchise service center on El Camino Real with a well known name (thinking flaming rock). At the other place, it seemed like whenever I took in an auto for a specific repair, the technician would first look for something else wrong and always find it, and offer to fix that before doing what I came in for. I accepted this practice until a dead battery stranded my wife and kids - I had the car towed to Ash i... read more

Go to Ash's; Skip the Dealership! – Ash is honest, trustworthy, and to-the-point when informing you of what's wrong with your automobile. That's a lot more than can be said for most dealership service departments. I've done business with Ash several times over the last 5 years, and I've been happy with his work every time. He pinpoints the problem and fixes your car right the first time. He seems to understand the value of repeat customers.

Great Customer Service – Oil was leaking out of my Lexus all over the engine mount, a-frames, etc. Took it to dealership and they quoted me an enormous repair bill. Took the car to Ash Automotive and they called me on my cell before I got one mile down the road. When I had my oil change done the attendant left the oil filter loose and it was dripping slow. Ash cleaned the engine, tightened the Oil filter, added what had leaked out back into the engine and charged me nothing. Great place, great work, very friendly but he does... read more

Best Mechanic I've used in Years - Maybe Ever – Its nice to find a mechanic shop that takes pride in doing the job RIGHT. After spending over $2,000 elsewhere I got tired of paying to have my Jeep NOT fixed and ended up at Ash Automotive. Ash called and explained in detail what fault codes he was getting and explained the troubleshooting tree on it and what that meant. He replaced the parts and did the work at the price he estimated. The car is running great now, first time in years. A/C is frosty - he fixed it for less than... read more

A mechanic you can trust – A trusted mechanic, and he provides excellent service. Both Ash and his wife are very friendly people, and they go out of their way to make everything as painless as possible.

BMW mechanic – Ash and Kate are very nice and reliable and trustable. You'll have to get a referral from someone who uses them already because they supposedly don't take walk ins.
