Automotive 2000

Worst auto shop available. Danny will lie and mislead you every step of the way.
I took my 2001 Chevy suburban in because the battery keeps draining dead overnight. I told Danny (if that is his name) that there is a leak somewhere electrically and need it looked at. He told me he would need a couple of days. He calls me day two and mentions there was a usb charger plugged in and he thinks that is it. I told him no that we have had this issue for a few months now and the charger was not always plugged in. After arguing with me over it I knew this was a bad situation. He then tells me the battery is dead and I need to switch it out for a new one. I do so that j can get my car back. He charged me 95 to tell me a usb charger was plugged in and 30 to put the battery back in.
The first time I let the car sit for a day the battery dies. I call Danny to explain what I said I the first place that he was wrong and should have actually done his job and I need a refund. He tells me if I take it into a dealership and they fix I can send him that paperwork and he may refund my money.
Shady business and I can tell you personally Danny is a liar and will cheat you out of everything he can. What I disgrace of a man

This family owned business has been around for 15 years with the same family tradition of honesty and quality care for customers and vehicles. The lead technician is extremely knowledgable about this type of work. He was able to diagnose my vehicle’s water pump issue just by listening to it when I pulled up. My repairs were done quickly and in excellent quality. I recommend this place to anyone who respects hard work and is willing to pay for the quality. Excellent place

Tried to get a smog done on a stock 79 Corvette and I was told «We don’t do Corvettes». What the hell does that mean? He didn’t even look under the hood! The least he could have done was lie and say «We don’t have time». Thanks for all the help. I went to Jackson Test & Repair instead.

I have never actually had my car fixed here but I’ve brought it in twice for Danny to look at. The first instance, my car was making a really loud noise and alignment was off, he looked at it and pointed me next door to Calderon tires to give me a new tire. The second instance, my car was making a loud noise again but this time it sounded like metal. Danny drove my car around the lot to listen to the noise, pulled it up, looked at it, showed me what was wrong, called around for parts and gave me a quote to fix it. Although I didn’t have him fix it (I haven’t fixed it at all yet because I don’t have the funds not because I don’t trust him), he’s been very professional both times and very helpful and honest with me. Would definitely come back here and also would definitely recommend him to others.

The guy is a wizard on funding a solution on your vehicle. I went in one time for my F-​150. With in 29 min I knew what was wrong with my truck. Within a couple of hours it was fix. He is very inexpensive and honesty. I don’t go anywhere else in Hayward. Parking is limited.

On my way to work a couple of weeks ago my engine light went on. I was worried sick about it because my usual mechanic was not available to even talk to. My co-​worker recommended Dany at Automotive 2000. She said that her brother goes there and is very happy with the service he receives. I called and was able to take my car in during my lunch hour and it was ready for pick up before I got off of work. He told me it may be the sensor since my car was 12 yrs old or it may be something more. Turned out to be the sensor. Hard to find honest mechanics. I also had another issue with my car that causing it to leak for the past 7 years. I was told that it was a real big job and it would be expensive and I would be without my car for at least 1 week. So I took it back to Dany and he was able to take care of it in 1 day and kept it overnight to make sure that there was no further leaks. The cost was not as much as I thought it would be. I will be coming here from now on.
I also highly recommend Dany at Automotive 2000 for all your automotive repairs.

I went here the other day after I was told that I needed to do My smog check at a ‘Star’ station instead of a regular once since My car is too old for the basic smog. Boooo!
It passed with flying colors, This place was open earlier than most of the rest in the area and I was first in line. I had to wait a half hour for the smog test to wrap up, not bad.

Danny is great and what makes him great is his honesty. I recommend him to anyone before you go to the dealership or any specialty shop. He will give you the truth and has very reasonable prices — which he will tell you up front before anything is done to you car.

I had previous issue w/​Chysler San Leandro and was at my wit’s end so I checked Unilocal.
Automotive 2000 did in two hours what the Chrysler dealer could not fix in 3 visits.
Also I was charged 75% LESS at Automotive 2000. I am so grateful for this place.
I even gave a tip of $ 20 because, well, you tip for great service.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMING HERE FOR YOUR REPAIRS!
YOU HAVE MY WORD.

This is truly a honest mechanic! I took my car to Dany because I thought I needed a new transmission. I was insisting that was the issue and I wanted a quote. Dany told me not to jump the gun and let him do the transmission flush first and then we can take action. I was really surprised that he was so concerned because he could have taken my money.
Four hours later I picked up my car and it was running great! The jerking and the stalling in between gears had stopped. Danny also gave me a list of things that I needed fixed the next time I visit. I will bring my car here for every problem I have. Honesty, quick, RELIABLE service.. I LOVE IT!

Great job Danny! Another great service. You never fail to amaze me. All issues and concerns about the car were addressed properly. The work only took less than four hours compared to several trips I made from other car shops. Love this place and I still highly recommend this shop to anyone.

I found Automotive 2000 on Unilocal and Danny is my new mechanic. He helped me with a difficult smog problem and has consistently exceeded my expectations.
He’s smart, efficient and knows what he’s doing. Highly recommended.

I have been go to Danny for 13 yrs & I drive from Manteca to have him service my car. Danny & his wife makes you feel so comfortable while your he checks your car & he is very trust worthy & will be very honest with you. I have refered my co workers to him & they say the same. I so appricate the service he gives. keep it up Danny & thank you.

This garage is a Gold Shield Station, meaning, they are approved by the Bureau of Auto Repair from Sacramento.
Danny is the Sr. Mechanic. Definitely a 10 for his mechanical expertise. My 1993 Camry did not pass smog. Danny performed diagnostics, repaired the problems, retested smog, and passed! I picked up my car and it drives like new. He delivered the car as promised.
Christine is the Manager and Customer Service. She is trustworthy, professional, extrememly organized, thorough, pleasant, and she speaks perfect English! I am impressed and very satisfied with her service and overall, from beginning to the end. I give her a 10.
I highly recommend Automotive 2000. I live 30 miles away and will start taking my cars here going forward. Honesty, great customer service and competence are hard to find in one place.
Thank you, Automotive 2000!
Cheers!
Very satisfied customer.

Fast, efficient and get the job done right. They remember you after only being there one time.

I’ve known Danny for several years now and I wouldn’t recommend anybody else. I originally met him when I was borrowing my brother-​in-​laws dodge truck and it needed work done. After that a friend of mine had a problem with his truck cutting out, Danny figured out what the problem was right away. After my daughter kept having to take her car back to her mechanic who was only making things worse I had Danny take a look at it and he was able to fix it, no problem, and It’s still on the road.
I’ve used a lot of mechanics over the years and I can tell you it is hard to find a good, honest mechanic. When Danny could have easily sold more work he’s said, «it’s not worth putting anymore money into this». If you have a problem with your car go see this man.

After failing a smog test at a Test Only shop, I had a hard time finding a mechanic who was willing to figure out why it failed and then fix it. I went on line looking for a Gold Shield smog mechanic. This was the only one listed in Hayward. They want and appreciate your business here. Super honest and thorough. Danny went over and above. This is a clean, organized shop. I will come back for all my car’s mechanical repairs. This is my new mechanic. Thanks Danny!

Danny is a great Mechanic! Trustworthy and honest. I have taken my car there several times and he has given me great prices and honest work everythime! Thank God for honest businesses! I will be a patron of him for a looooong time!

I have been going here for car trouble since 2002 (when I was a freshmen in college). Danny the owner is the most personable and trustworthy mechanic I know. Not only is his service good but his prices are completely reasonable. I referred my brother and he continues to go to Danny to this day.
Before having met Danny, my brother and I would go to our car maker’s dealership and we would basically get ripped off by their over inflated prices, plus poor work. My brother had it worse then me because he was going to a Honda dealership or specialist and got over charged for repeat work that Danny corrected at a reasonable rate. Danny replaced all his wires and told him, they haven’t been replaced in years. So much for liars.

Darn, I remember this place.
They are the best, honest, and Denny the owner really trying to lay it all out for you so that you can make the best decision for yourself.
