Pauls Automotive Repair Center - Oakley (CA)

2 /5 Case Mods: Told me they never worked on turbo cars, dont know how to find the issue. I had coolant disappearing after a few days. They initially did a pressure test on the coolant system and found a fitting to be leaking, then tried to charge me nearly $400 for time and labor. I declined. The parts were $80 and took me maybe 30 minutes to swap myself. So they charged me $200 and I still need someone to look at the car. Wont be coming back here or recommending them to anyone in the future. Not sure why they would take on the job if they dont know how to complete it fully. Or at least tell me it could be more cost to find it if its something more serious.

5 /5 Tom Kempf: Just had my 2009 Mini Cooper repaired here and had an excellent experience. I called and talked to Jason, who was very professional. He was knowledgeable, helpful, easy to talk to. He gave me all the information. I needed, and said I could come in same day and they would diagnose it in a few hours. Well, indeed they did ( a spark plug wire had gone bad) and in the course of the service they kept me informed and called to authorize service at every step. They had it done the next morning when the parts came in, which was as good as one could ask. As to the poster who said not to go here, dont listen to him. I almost did, but when I called and talked to Jason it was clear he knew what he was talking about. The service was excellent in all respects, and the price was reasonable for what they did.

5 /5 Schelly Borders: I brought my chevy in with a strange noise coming from front of the car and they had the diagnosis that day and could have fixed the next day but my schedule was the reason for the delay. I brought it in first thing on a Monday morning and they had it fixed by lunch. By replacing the control arms and bushings, no more noises and now car drives like a dream. Would definitely recommend Pauls for your auto repairs.

1 /5 Kevin Walls: Wish i could give negative stars. Do not use this company, i repeat do not use. Had a check engine light on my 1999 chevy tahoe. I paid him to do a diagnostic test which should only take an hour. But he had my truck for about three days,said his guy wasnt in yet.When i finally get the call to come in he says there was a compression leak in one of the cylinders. Which i never believed. But I ended up selling the truck for 900. And I told the person what hr said.Later. the person who bought the truck. two days later told me all he changed was two oxygen sensors and guess what the check engine light went off also it passed with flying colors.Moral of the story he lied. And i lost out on about 3000 dollars.

1 /5 queeg _: I dropped off my truck this morning at Pauls Automotive Center for a CEL and full vehicle inspection. I told the service advisor about the CEL, and a few other issues. I go to pick up the truck and ask them to go ahead and do the work to fix it and they inform me they do not work on diesels. They should have informed me they could not work on it in the first place. Dishonest practices.
