You wont find a more reliable, professional and all around decent auto repair shop than A-1. Our family has been relying on Joe, George, Gary and Corbin to maintain our vehicles for over 20 years, and before that our parents for another 20 years. You know that you get what you pay for when maintaining your vehicles, right? Dont cut corners and just go to A-1.

Coming from a family of Mechanics I was recommended Joe at A1 and I couldnt not have been more comfortable with the experience. He is respectful, communicative, and best of all, HONEST! If you are looking for a go-to mechanic, this is the place

I have used A1 exclusively for almost ten years now. They have always been very prompt, courteous and honest. They never oversell me on anything and always give me very straight forward advice. I will no doubt be using them for the next ten years.

Honest, experienced, helpful, clear, personal, excellent service! Have been going to A1 since they were my parents mechanic and now they are mine too, for the last 30 some years. They have earned my trust. I recommend them to friends, who also love their service. Their work and checkups gives me confidence that my car is doing well. They help work around my budget. Excellent personal family business.

My car had an intermittent rattle which never seemed to happen when a mechanic was driving it, making it difficult to locate. A-1 thought they identified the problem in the right rear wheel bearings, but they were hesitant to make the repair until they were positive that would fix the problem. They said they didnt want to waste my money on something that might not be the problem. Its that kind of integrity that keeps me coming back to them for over 30 years. I told them that I trusted them enough to take the chance on the bearing repair. So they fixed it and the rattle has not recurred.

HONEST. INFORMATIVE. RESPECTFUL. PATIENT.I cannot speak highly enough about A-1 Brake and Tire! My car broke down on me in Walnut Creek. I called a few places in the area and finally got George on the phone at A-1. He was very friendly and within reasonable towing distance so I decided to take my car there.The entire process from start to finish could not have gone smoother. George and his staff were friendly, informative, and did everything they could to make sure that I understood what was going on with my car (being that I am not mechanically inclined) and what my options were moving forward. They were also extremely patient with me throughout the process as I decided whether or not to proceed with a costly fix.I am so appreciative to have had the service that A-1 Brake and Tire provided. It made this difficult and unfortunate event in my life considerably easier. Thank you!

I was referred to A-1 a friend, and Im so glad I was! They took my car and gave me an honest opinion about the situation so that I could make an informed decision. They are willing to go above and beyond to make sure youre a happy customer. Definitely looking forward to going back anytime my cars need to be checked!

I had 2 cars need repair work during the same time. Since Ive been going to A-1 for 15+ years I took both in to get fixed and both needed special attention. Car #1 had a part replaced that turned out to be defective from the manufacturer and was only caught by the A-1 test drive after installation. They immediately returned the part and ended up having to go to the dealer for the part. All was handled expeditiously by Joe and the crew. Car #2 is under warranty purchased from a dealership and thanks to Joe he was able to convince the warranty company that A-1 was the best option for the repair which was a huge relief to me and the car was repaired with the confidence of A-1s work.

I cant speak to the actual work they do here, but I was beyond impressed by the service at this shop. I stopped by the other day with my all wheel drive vehicle needing at least 2 new tires. I prefer to shop locally, but the last work I had done was at a major chain. The gentleman who helped me at A-1 admitted that it would be way better for my vehicle for me to return to where I last had the work done as they would have the tires in stock that I had to have on my car, since its all wheel drive. In other words, theyd rather do the right thing than make another sale. This is the kind of mechanic I prefer, and the next time I need tire or brake work done, Im shopping here.

A-1 Brake and Tire has been Taking care of my cars since 1984 and they always go the extra mile to make sure everything is working well. They explain what needs to be done, give me choices when appropriate and get the work done on time. They are great!

Really helpful and very nice. They told me exactly what was wrong my with vehicle as well as recommendations for maintenance by the manufacturer before charging me a penny. Ive never had such a family-feel experience from an auto-shop before and I will definitely be taking my vehicles to them for all work in the future.

I have been going to A-1 for over 20 years. They do everything on my cars. I wouldnt trust anyone else to do what they do. So honest, helpful and dependable. Its been 3 years since I posted my review. I still feel the same way. They strive to do the best.

I was heading off to college and thought it would be a good idea to have my van checked out so I brought it to A-1 Brake and Tire. I told them the problems that I was having with my car and they said they would check it out. When I got my car back they said everything was running great which surprised me since it has almost 200,000 miles on it, and it shuts down on me sometimes, but i trusted them since they are the professionals. Of course later that day my check engine light turns on and my neighbor checks it out and says it is a idling problem (which I told A-1 to check out since i had noticed rough idling). This made me wonder what they actually checked on my car, I was surprised that they couldnt diagnose the problem and now i spent over $200 for them to tell me my car is good while it actually needs to be taken back to another shop. I am very displeased with my experience at A-1 brake and tire and hope that this was the one bad experience because they were nice people.

This business knows customer service and provides a personal touch. Great service, reasonably priced and there has never been some type of upsell. Honest!

Review №23

I was overcharged and oversold by 220.00. I called 3 other local shops after my brake pads and rotors were replaced and all three shops would have done the job I needed for at least $220.00 less than what I paid at A1 Brake and Tire. Im disappointed and feel I was taken advantage of. I hardly ever write reviews but I dont want others to have the same experience.
