Our story

Your Neighborhood Mechanic

Community Auto Center has been fixing cars for Oakland families for years, and the way we work hasn't changed. We diagnose the problem, explain it in plain terms, and send photos as we go so nothing is a surprise when you pick up your keys.

We know a repair bill can be stressful, so we quote fair prices upfront and give you a heads up on what's coming next, at no extra charge. If something goes wrong between visits, like an accident right after a repair, we make room to help.

We've built our reputation the same way, one honest job at a time. Neighbors bring us their cars, then their family's cars, then send their friends our way.

  • Photo updates on every repair
  • Fair pricing explained upfront
  • Payment plans available
  • A trusted community staple

What customers say

“They've been our go-to shop for a few years now since moving to the neighborhood. Reliable, reasonable prices, and they have done a great job maintaining our vehicle.”

Boris Boukhonine

“Kham and his crew have so much knowledge and skill I wouldn't trust my family driving in a car they didn't fix. Best work ethic, strong morals, and overall a staple in our community.”

CHM

“I had over $8k worth of work quoted by the dealership, and fortunately I shopped around and Community Auto Center was able to deliver it all at a fraction of the price. I received photos all along the way. Superb communication!”
