Acura Honda Connection

My family and I have been customers with Acura Honda for over 10 years. I can’t tell you how much I LOVE them. They are the ONLY mechanics that give me the bottom price, and are honest with what needs to be completed in order to keep our cars running in tip-​top shape. They are trustworthy, super friendly, and give out loaner cars that you just need to refill the gas! I love every one of them and will never get any other car other than an Acura or a Honda. That’s how much I love this place. Thank you Jonas, James, and Dave for your impeccable service!

This company is hands down the best Honda auto repair! they got me in right away and didnt have to wait. and they let me borrow one of their hondas to drive in the mean time. i have a 92 honda that always seems to need servicing, and since moving away from my go to honda guy in another state, im relieved to find these guys after a year of being in the bay area. i’ve had a few other auto repair places in the area work on my car but they did some skeevy things that made me question their service. my honda is my baby and their prices seem fair considering other companies that dont specialize in hondas. they gave me a free engine light check (everywhere else charges for my year and i know exactly how easy it is to check). i dont believe in paying for engine light checks cause i know you can get them for free. anywho, they found my issues (which i had a feeling it was what the results came back) and while they fixed my O2 sensor they let me borrow one of their hondas to drive in the mean time for free! when i got my car back the light came back on as soon as i left so i brought it back and they ended up keeping my honda a week to figure out that issue while i drove around in their cars no problem. (think it was just a computer thing and it resolved itself) they were so nice though! it’s relieving to find a trustworthy auto repair business with people that specialize in your vehicle and still let you live your life in the mean time. to me, the price of service is worth it. Thanks Honda Connection! :)

Had my timing belt/​water pump done here as well as some other services. They have good knowledge of Honda best practices and the prices are lower than the dealership while using OEM parts/​fluids. I will be back here in the future

I have been going to AH connection for 6 years and will always make this place my first stop for all of my Honda needs. Now living in Gilroy, I probably pass 50 or so potential auto shops and dealers on my way to AH but why do I continue to use AH Connection?
1) Trustworthy
2) Customer Service
3) Expert knowledge and advice
4) Fair and Honest pricing
5) Expert work on my (Natural Gas CNG Civic)
6) Loaner cars
As the years roll by I will probably need to update this list but it pretty much speaks for itself.
Thanks AH for the great service!

Great service indeed. Not cheap, but you do get a loaner and quick and good service. I had my clutch replaced and am happy with the work. It cost me $ 1700 but the car had 180K miles on it and needed work on the flywheel as well.

These guys are the best. They have been servicing my car, as well as 2 of my close friend’s cars (on my recommendation) for several years. They are skilled, organized and trustworthy. I would recommend anyone with a Honda/​Acura to take your car to this place before visiting your local dealership. James is always super helpful and always follows through with communication. Thanks to all at AHC!

Having moved to the Bay Area recently, I was in search of a reliable and trustworthy shop for to take my older car to. There are several dealerships within a reasonable driving distance from me, but I didn’t want to pay the high dealership high prices for an older car. So, I asked several friends and they all recommend AH Connections.
I had several things fixed on my car and they did a great job! AH Connection was very honest with what I needed and what I didn’t need done to the car, they didn’t try to up sale me or use «scare tactics» to pad the bill.
Will be taking my car to them from now on!

Nice, friendly service. They provide loaner cars while they repair.

Very honest place for sure. Told me exactly what was wrong with my car and what it would take to fix it. I took it to another shop before I came there and all they wanted to do is change a sensor. Turns out spark plugs and valve adjustment was needed. They also recommend other work that I will need to do on the car, but they weren’t pushy about it at all. Which I appreciate. I will be back soon to get the rest of the work done for sure.

I will join the chorus of enthusiastic reviews for Jonas & Joey at Acura Honda Connection. I inherited a Honda Accord that my mother bought from Jonas & Joey, in 2001; I think they had acquired it after, as a new car, it was totaled, and they refurbished it. The car is the greatest; now, at 150,500 miles, it still runs like a dream; only the paint is starting to show a bit of age (due to the fact that I don’t have a garage to park it in). I attribute its condition in part to the fact that these are just good cars, but also to the maintenance that has been done at Acura Honda connection to keep it in good shape. The check-​ups are probably not the cheapest I could find, but the car is always in good hands. I hope to be driving it for another 150,000 miles!

I recently bought a used Acura MDX, and also new to the South Bay. So I started searching for a reputable mechanic/​shop that uses OEM parts/​fluids and found A/​H Connection. 5 stars on Unilocal?OK worth a shot.
At 85K miles, I received the A123 service alert. I called the local Acura dealership for a service quote for the A123 service, which was $ 600+. So I called A/​H Connection and they hooked it up for $ 445 (you can also get a 10% off labor coupon for 30k/​60k service) which also included a loaner car for the day. Now, I didn’t get a spiffy new Acura as a loaner car. Instead, I got an older ’05 Accord. I did not mind this at all as I was judging the shop’s capability based on how this older Accord drove — I’ll say this much; I hope my car drives this well when it’s that age.
Anyhow, I got my MDX back, and it’s driving like a dream. I can’t forget Dave, he was cool, courteous and got me in and out in a jiff. Thanks guys, you’ll definitely be seeing me if I have to take my car in for something.

«Would you rather buy more shoes or have monthly car payments?!?»
Ummmmmm…shoes! Since my husband put it THAT way I decided to get my car fixed instead of buying a new one. It made me giddy thinking about other things I can splurge on besides a new car, like the 16-​pack Expo 2 Low-​Odor Dry Erase Markers with chisel tip and assorted colors, or like the neon Post-​it collection that adds spark to your notes, or the Sharpie Clear View Highlighter that has a Versatile blade-​style tip that draws thick lines for highlighting! Eeeeek!!! I have no strict budget when it comes to school supplies! I searched on Unilocal,called 2 or 3 places, and Acura Honda Connection called me first.
Labor $ 1534
Parts $ 654.64
Sublet (what the heck is that?) $ 250
Haz waste $ 4.00
Tax $ 57.28
— — — — — — — — — — — — -
Total $ 2499.92
Yikes!!! Forget the pretty colored highlighters and Sharpies, my family needs to eat! Although it seems ridiculously expensive to get my car fixed, there are many reasons why I believe AHC is 5-​star worthy:
1) James was informative and easy to talk to. My douchebag radar didn’t detect any douchebaggery every time I talked to James. Customer service is excellent!
2) After calling a few places, $ 2500 was actually reasonable to replace a head gasket, timing belt, a window glass, thermostat, valve-​stem seals, and other stuff. Just for a timing belt, Capitol Honda quoted me $ 700 and another car repair said $ 800, while AH Connection charged me $ 323. Woo hoo!
3) They have a free lender you can use while they have your car. So convenient! I’m glad I didn’t have to spend more money on a rental car!
I’m glad I made the right choice, my car is as good as new! And now I can spend more money on fun stuff. Woo! Can’t wait til my next paycheck… Target, here I come!!!

Excellent service. Honest, friendly, extremely prompt– they fixed our van within 24 hrs, AND washed it for me! Very nice surprise.
They had a bunch of work orders at their desk but somehow run like a well oiled machine. I didn’t feel rushed for a moment.
And called me back the next morning about the stroller I forgot in the trunk of my rental. These days it’s hard to get a call back at all! Very happy and will be going back to them.
Pro-​Tip: if you think you may need a rental and need space for your big family (I have 3 kids) let them know ahead of time so they can plan properly.

I can’t believe I have waited this long to write this review.
The customer service here is amazing! I have never had a bad experience and I always feel like I’m getting my car fix at a reasonable (if not cheap) price. My parents and I bring our cars here for every need.
My engine flooded… was out in 2 days!
Timing belt… replaced quick!
Someone hit my bumper… Get a loaner car from them and I was on my way!
My dad always makes the mistake of taking his car to the actual Honda dealer for recalls and has another service done along with it. For example, he did an oil change the Honda dealer forgot to even put oil in!!! Wowowowowowow!!! Acura Honda Connections would NEVER do that!
Make your life easier and bring your car here.

This place is legit as hell. Super honest guys, friendly, knowledgable. I mean, where can you find an HONEST car place? They pretty much don’t exist, so this place is a diamond in the rough.

Timing Belt, Water pump, Rotors and Pads all done together.
Great service and price, done on time as promised, and of course the convenient loaner vehicle. Very happy all their work!

Yes! I’m very happy to have found this place thanks to Unilocal!I called in the day before to get a tune up for my 04 Honda CR-​V. The next day I brought in my vehicle early in the morning, and left with a loaner vehicle. I really appreciated the loaner vehicle, without it I would not have been able to bring my car in so soon. AHC called me throughout the day to give me a progress report on my vehicle. I should make it clear that in the 11 years of owning this CR-​V it had NEVER received a tune up. So when AHC gave me the list of things my vehicle needed, they helped my prioritize which items needed immediate attention, and which items could wait. But even with 11 years of neglect, the repair my vehicle needed was less than 1k. Go Honda!
My car feels great, and AHC kindly did some work that did not show up on my statement. They went above and beyond. I wont be taking my geriatric CR-​V anywhere else for as long as she lives. Thanks AHC!

I walked into this place because my car key stopped playing nice with the ignition and I frantically needed help or at least advice for however complicated fixing this would end up being.
The guy at the front desk pointed me in the right direction and patiently answered all of my questions despite the fact that there would be no transaction made with me. wish i could remember his name but this place is definitely deserving of its 5 stars.

I have never set foot in this place or given them any money, but honestly if I could, I would buy another Honda or Acura just to use their services! Service above and beyond the call of duty! They deserve your business!
Back in Nov, I sent my old 2002 Honda Accord back to CA from IL for my parents to use. My dad, a former mechanic, replaced the battery, but he reset the radio and did not have my code. After three tries, the radio was locked with an error message. So basically my parents gave up on listening to music on their car trips.
Today, I (the person with the A-​type personality) came home and could not stand it. I needed the music and entertainment. It was really annoying. I call up the official Honda dealership where I bought my car at. They didn’t have my radio code and the only way to get it was to take the radio for the serial number and look up the code on the website. To take out the radio would have cost me $ 150! Just to take out a radio for a few minutes. Not gonna happen.
Hoping for a better deal, I looked on Unilocal and found this place. I called them up. A woman answered the phone. I told her my predicament. She handed the phone off to Jonas (this man is heaven sent).
He came on the phone and actually waited for me to get to my car to look for the radio code. He said that he wanted to save me some time and money so he directed me through the WHOLE process. When it wasn’t in the usual places, he was able to find my code from the serial number that he helped me locate in the glove compartment. Since the radio was locked, he told me to disconnect the battery and it should reset the radio so I could type in the code again. At the time, I couldn’t do it myself, but he said to call back if it didn’t work and he will try to help further.
When my brother comes home, he helps me disconnect the battery. We waited five minutes, and bada-​bing-​bada-​boom!!! It worked!!! Exactly like he said. I was able to type in the code and sweet, beautiful music started playing again.
Thank you Jonas for thinking about the customer and not just about making a quick buck like those nasty dealerships. I am grateful for his help!

I owe it to these guys to give them a ⁵⁄₅ review.
The other day, my car had stopped moving from a dead alternator. Even after 5pm, they still took my car in and stored it in a safe place.
Even on a hot long day, they smile and are pleasant to work with.
Very fast turn around.
Wednesday afternoon — car died
Thursday — called me with solution
Friday lunch — picked up my car and it was washed
