Dan V Auto Repair - Oakland (CA)

1 /5 Devon Cazmere: I took my car to Harry on May 3 2024 for same non drivability issues headlight bulbs taillights etc. There were a few lights on the dash cluster no engine warnings. Harry said I could get the car back in a few days its been OVER A YEAR....He wont return texts wont answer the phone and if he does answer he swears the car is being worked on or will be ready the following week. He claimed he took the car to Weatherford BMW for a diagnosis so I called Weatherford they told me that the car had not been there in over 7 years. I called him he answered the phone and said he was on his way back from Weatherford with the car so I popped in on him...Got to the shop it was closed decided to spin the block where I find my car covered in Spider webs on a dead end street....it hadnt been moved in quite some time. I went back to the shop he was there by then, I asked him where was my car her said it was in his friends drive way...I FLASHED....I dont know whats going on with Harry but the lies and evasion is real.

1 /5 Devion Holt: Definitely shady. I had one issue. I was constantly in and out of this place for a while and sank thousands of $$ trying to fix this one issue. Finally got fed up and took my car into a legit auto business who fixed my car fast, easily, and at a fraction of the cost. That’s when I realized the guys at Dan’s jerked me around for $$ since I didn’t have much car knowledge. That, or they didn’t really know what was wrong with my car themselves and tried a bunch of different things at my expense. Please stay away and seek better service. These guys are pretty rude too.

1 /5 Delunda Johnson: Took my mom car and is using it to rack up toll fees. He wont answer or return calls and no legal paperwork for him to have ownership of her car.

5 /5 Amanda Le: Came after work and a little before they closed up the shop but they took me in for a car maintenance; nevertheless, Dan kept me in the loop and it was a smooth first-time experience. Like many others, a friend of mine recommended me to stop by this shop. I would come here again & recommend to anyone interested in getting their car fixed or for maintenance. Thank you Dan!

5 /5 Larry McCroskey: Great place. Lot looks full, but you just pull in like any other shop. Call ahead to schedule. The owner explains things clearly and simply. Made a point to educate in a positive fashion. I will definitely be coming back in the future. Obviously one of those places that prizes creating new and long lasting customers over temporary profit. The look of the shop reminds me of the small places where I grew up. Busy because they do good work and have a dedicated clientele. There is no better sign of a good mechanic.
