Walnut Creek Auto Repair

I messaged James on Yelp for a quote and got an instant reply! I had some minor work needed on my Jeep, and he listened to what I needed to be done and got it done! He was very customer focused and made sure I got what I requested. I would highly recommend him for any of your auto needs. He can do it all!

Had a problem with my brakes Needed rotors and brake pads, but could not find a shop willing to take my car in short notice and or price was too high. While using Yelp I sent out a qoute request to local shops and somehow, a request made it to the Oakmont shop. @ 1st I was thinking it was too far away, but reading the reviews on the shop, I decided to give it a try. James was very professional and accommodating. He listened politely to my request and made sure my concerns were addressed. He did the brake repair and oil change, ahead of schedule and I was back on the road in no time. I noticed that my lug socket key was missing, after I left. I called James and asked him to mail it. He went above and beyond by driving it to me a few miles down the road. Great customer service and a really nice guy. Recommend you take your vehicle to him for your repair needs- you will not be disappointed.

James told me it'd take two to three hours; he had it done in one and a half. Thank you!

REALLY GREAT GUY, Honest and professional. Did the brakes on both of my cars. Very fast and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate in bringing my cars too him to maintain! Thanks James.

There are times I go to a mechanic with an estimated budget... And I end up spending less but leave feeling like I got screwed. In this case, I spent more than I originally planned on, but left feeling like I got value. Super honest. Non pushy. Down to earth, kind, and a hard worker. Support this guy!

I had a great experience at Oakmont Auto care. James was very thorough and helpful. He explained my brake issues and gave me visual examples to help me understand. Great service and great work. I contacted him through yelp and he was very quick with his response time. When I went in for the service it was executed in a timely manner. Thanks James.

Not only is Oakmont auto care deserving of 5 stars, but so too is James, the owner. Not only did James take the time to listen to my issues and concerns with my Z3, he also offered to give me a ride to and from my home and when the job took longer than expected, he honored our discussed upon quote (within reason). I will be referring anyone who wants quality in their automotive repair shop experiences directly to James at Oakmont. TOP NOTCH!

Highly recommend!!! My alternator went out while I was traveling, and, not knowing the area, I had my car taken here per the recommendation of my tow truck driver. James not only fixed my car as quickly as possible, but he clearly and honestly explained some other things that were wrong with it that other mechanics skated over. He then went above and beyond by having my car washed, vacuumed and brought to me, saving me tons on Uber funds. If I was in the area full time, without a doubt, this would be my preferred mechanic.

Absolutely amazing! I found James on Yelp while looking for a mechanic to handle a pre-purchase inspection (PPI), to purchase the car, sight unseen. He went through the car top to bottom, inside and out. Ultimately, he gave me the OK that the car was easily likely to go another 100k+ with nothing but fluid changes (which includes brake fluid, oil, coolant, ATF, etc.), as much of the large maintenance items seem to have just been done. He went into as much detail as to lay out every single light that was out. The next time I saw James was for a check engine light that I spent countless hours trying to diagnose. For some perspective, I drove to him from downtown SF, even though there are quality mechanics that are certainly closer. It seems like he took almost an obsessive attitude trying to diagnose this -- it was one of those engine codes that say one thing, with the root cause being one of a dozen different things, each one being difficult to test. After going down the *very* detailed list of everything that he did to diagnose the issue, he recommended the option that ultimately would net him the least amount of money. Unfortunately it was not great news for the car, but due to my experiences with him, I knew that I could trust his diagnosis. Would not hesitate recommend James at Oakmont to friends and family and will be bringing my cars here for any other service in the future! Thanks James!
