We'll tell you what's wrong, what it costs, and what's worth fixing.

Our story

The shop Oakland drivers keep coming back to

We're a full-service auto repair shop and towing operation on Foothill Boulevard in Oakland. Danny runs the front office, and the same crew of mechanics has been taking care of cars in this neighborhood long enough that plenty of our customers are on their third or fourth vehicle with us.

Our approach is simple: tell you what's actually wrong, tell you what it will cost, and help you decide what's worth doing. If used parts will serve you just as well as new, we'll say so. If the repair isn't worth what the car is worth, we'll say that too. And if the job belongs at a different shop, we'll send you there.

We work around your schedule wherever we can, keep you posted on where things stand, and get your car back to you when we said we would.

  • Repairs and towing under one roof
  • Honest estimates, and honest advice when a repair isn't worth it
  • Work prioritized around your budget
  • Communication you don't have to chase

What customers say

“My alternator went out on the freeway, East Bay Auto got me a new one and installed the next business day. Highly recommend for any auto services you need! They do it all. Everyone here is extremely helpful, I don't know what I would have done without them.”

Hayli Edwards

“I already knew they were a good shop when they refused to do a tire rotation and alignment on my car a year ago, instead sending me to a tire shop down the street for new tires. I appreciated their integrity then, and vowed to go back. Overall they were thoughtful, easy to work with, and did the work in a timely manner, with (holy cow this is never true) great communication about what I could expect and when to pick up the car.”

Lynell Lacey

“These guys were great! Danny is super easy to communicate with in the main office, their prices are very reasonable, and they worked around my schedule to accommodate an appointment to get my car back very quickly. They even fixed an annoying issue with my trunk without charging me. 10/10 will be bringing my cars here indefinitely.”
