Cal-1 Auto Repair

If ur smart, you will NOT go to CAL-​1 for your car repairs. Going to this place was by far the biggest mistake i ever made. The promise of a cheap job ended up costing me a whole lot of STRESS and money, and the job wasn’t even done. I brought my car in to have a transmission rebuild, to make a long story short they told me the job would be done in 3 days, on the third day they told me they weren’t done and needed more time, after bs’ing me FOR 3 WEEKS about how they weren’t done, i told a family member to come with me so I can take the car to another shop who knew what they were doing. I get to the shop, and my tranmission is taken apart in a million pieces in my trunk and pieces in my back seat!!! They told me they were sorry and couldnt repair the transmission, and thats it!!! After 3 weeks of them telling me Oh yea i can fix, we just wait for part, it be done tomorrow”, u can imagine my anger! On top of that I look at the hood of my car and its totally discolored which of course I didnt bring it in like that, so I know now that they switched the hood on my car with another Honda or damaged it themselves. On top of that i take the car to the next shop and they tell me numerous parts of the transmission are missing!!! So now they need to order the parts and CAL 1 has to pay for it, it took me weeks of arguing and threatening to get my money back from these crooks. BOTTOM LINE the ppl who work for CAL 1 are CROOKS, LIARS, UNPROFESSIONAL, AND INCOMPOTENT. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO THEM.

Reliable and expedient service. I take my car here for all major and minor repairs.
Highly recommend this place to family and friends.

I live and SF and my Truck Broke down all the way in fucking Vallejo
When I called AAA since I don’t have the 100 mile tow it was gonna
cost me some ridiculous ass $ 150 – 200 dollars just to tow to Oakland.
I regularly go to SF auto but since I had brought this fucking rebuilt transmission from Kragens…(luckily it had a warranty) just 5 months ago all I had to do was get someone to take it out and then return it
to Kragens then wait for to check it and send another one…
Anyways I called around my mechanic he did not have the space to wait on a replacement. So I checked trusty old Craigslist and found
Cal-​1 Auto Repair when I put in Transmissions. The mechanic there had been a Tech at AAMCO for 20 years.
He quoted me a removal and replacement price of $ 500.00…Plus got me a tow from Vallejo to Oakland for the flat price of $ 100.00
He told me the problem removed it waited for 4 days for the damn transmission (Very Patiently I might add) replaced it and Stayed at the same price adding a bit for transmission fluid etc I paid under
$ 600.00
Great Service I would use them again If I needed work done in that area
