Walnut Creek Auto Repair

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!

This was easily one of the most pleasant repair experiences I've had. My '08 Jeep Grand Cherokee wouldn't start, and I had it towed to Oakmont based off of the reviews. James called and gave me the exact amount this would cost, broke it down for me, and offered to pick me up when it was finished. He kept me updated the whole two days he had it, which was great. Prices seemed reasonable, and my Jeep works now so I assume it was quality work. The customer service is top notch.

Amazing service. Best shop around. Honest and trustworthy. I will be back to see James (the owner) for all my car needs. Highly Recommend.

1 photo I have found this shop to be a real gem. The owner/head mechanic is very knowledgeable, and in my experience, a very honest man. I will be returning with all of my cars and am so glad to have found such a valuable resource in this area. The labor price is very fair and he is able to work on a large variety of makes and models. I highly recommend Oakmont Auto Care.

James, the owner, is great! He is honest and easy to talk to... he's a great guy. He worked around my schedule and never made me feel rushed. He does high quality, very professional work at a fair price. He fixed an emissions problem on my Toyota pickup and inspected a used Ford F-150 I picked up. He answered all my questions in a friendly and caring way- he truly cares about his customers and their cars. I highly recommend!!

We recently purchased a used car for my son, that had been sitting for 12 years. We had the car towed to Oakmont since it wasn't running. The owner, James, was wonderful! He got this car up and running and it runs like new! He was great about keeping us updated on his progress. His customer service and response time were unmatched and his pricing is very reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Excellent service! James is the owner/operater. He serviced my front brakes on my Mercedes and did a great job. Will back back again for sure.

I came in for an oil change on a weekend after seeing one of the local ads and it was a pleasant surprise. James was a nice guy and got the job done, in a timely fashion while keeping me updated. About all you could ask for auto care. Definitely recommend and plan on coming back next time.

Great auto shop. Have taken both of my sons cars there. Each time, excellent service! Highly recommend!
