76 Gas Station

I dropped in to gas up and realized i had a flat tire. I had filled the flattening tire the week before so knew there was a leak. I asked the mechanic who was working on a car about having a tire patched for a leak and he fit me in right away. 10 minutes later, the big nail removed, the tire was patched up, the other tires’ pressure filled (they were low as i had not checked them for months) and i was on my way. He also mentioned how overfilling the tire makes the middle of the tire tread bald which my rear wheels had gotten. (It was overfilled awhile back for 3 months unfortunately). I give them five stars for prompt and honest service.

This place is back in business again with quite a few spots reserved for car share parking. auto repair opens up again. I don’t know if the owner is the same or not, but I rarely go there anymore.

This is our neighborhood station — I frequently pull in here without looking at the sign (the $ 5.99 price WAS posted), just wanting to support our neighborhood businesses.
I didn’t notice the price until I had pumped fourteen gallons. Normal prices around the Bay Area are high but more than two dollars per gallon is just a breach of honor! — Sam just ripped me off to the tune of $ 28!
Goodbye Sam.

Friends and I have all received bad service on our vehicles for things ranging from changing out tires and checking brakes. We all went there wanting to give business to someone local, and all regretted it. I won’t even go there for gas now.

I used to love this place for routine service, but the quality of the workmanship has declined severely over the past few years. On top of that, I sold them my old car and they never submitted their end of the title transfer paperwork, leaving me with a massive accumulation of parking tickets and potentially huge liability – took many hours of my time to get this straightened out. I would give them 0 stars if possible. Do yourself a favor and find another mechanic.

I live less than a block away from this place and I used to always bring my old Accord there to get it serviced. I would constantly be having problems with my car starting and the transmission locking and would bring it here. They never clearly communicated to me what was wrong, they’d just do something to it to get it to run for a while until I had to come back. I remember the prices always going higher until eventually I ended up getting another car and found cheaper places to get my car serviced.
My dad brought our old Acura here to get a tune up and the brakes changed and got charged over $ 700 something late last year. I drove it after and noticed the brakes still felt extremely mushy and didn’t give me a lot of confidence at all. I figured I was just used to my own car and let it be. We eventually brought it to another place for some service recently and was told that the brakes were never even changed! So basically we got charged for nothing!
Such a ripoff. I was never that impressed before, but now I’m definitely staying away and recommend everyone do the same.

Great service and skilled mechanics. I highly recommend Sam’s shop. Reasonable prices and honest people.

The customer service at this place is awesome.
We took our 96 Jimmy in because it wasn’t starting. It was going to be a distributor, plugs and wires for like $ 600. We couldn’t afford that, and instead of sending us away, Uncle Sam asked what we could afford and gave a remarkable deal. Car was running great after that.
Months later the Jim wasn’t running too well. Some younger guy helped us this time. He replaced a seemingly faulty wire for free because it shouldn’t have gone bad yet, and after some research he told us it must be a fuel injector issue.
Unfortunately that’s about a $ 1100 job. Instead of squeezing money out of us, he recommended we try some high grade fuel injector cleaner before dropping a bunch of cash! Unheard of at a service station. Basically he told us to spend $ 8 somewhere else instead of $ 1100 at their station.
Jim runs good again. Such good people.

I have got my car fixed here last week for basic tune up.
The owner Sam was very friendly and able to explain what problems were associated with my car. He showed me the broken parts and asked if I needed to take it home and compare with the new installed parts.
Honest and good work all I can say!

If you want basic tune ups and brakes done, they can do it. But if you need diagnostic work I’d take it somewhere else, like Habelt’s on Irving. For example, I took in a pick-​up truck a friend had let me borrow. It had a problem starting, either the starter or solenoid. I explained this to Sam and also told him that the battery was just charged so it wasn’t the battery. I picked it up the next day. They said they’d replaced the battery and that was the problem!!! Of course the next time I tried starting it, it wouldn’t start and we were right back where we started.
Also I think it can be a problem with speaking English. I can’t speak Chinese so there’s always a problem with communication.

I used to come here all the time for my oil change. I never had a problem with them until I came back to have a side mirror replaced after some drunk looser ripped it off on a drunken night. I ordered the part myself and gave it to them to replace. After they were done, I noticed huge scratch marks on my car under the mirror. I swore they weren’t there before, or were they? Geez, I wished I took pictures. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and I still get gas there but I haven’t taken my car there to get serviced again.

I live few block away and I only do oil change with them. My price when up everytime and last time it is over $ 38.00 for an oil change that is a 4 cyclinder only? Not going back there again even I live 2 blocks away.
