I stopped by just before they close with a nail in my tire.
Eli helped me out within 15mins and I was good to go.

I used to go to Eli for my car problems, really appreciate his honesty and straightforwardness, doesn't chit chat but tells you as it is kind of tone, I've seen several customers who are female and/or elderly, and Eli explains things clearly and only what is needed, if there's no problem, he will tell the truth and not take your money. Prices are also always reasonable, fair, and upfront, I've never gotten "surprises", and if there were unexpected problems during the job, they always called first and made sure they explained and got confirmation, before proceeding on additional work. It's rare to find such integrity in the auto business these days, I've given my recommendations to several friends, but haven't posted my review on Yelp.
Customers may not always know everything about auto-mechanical work, and we all know too well about fake five star reviews some businesses buy, but I believe over time, people always recognize good businesses with experience. good reputation always gets passed on by ear. a business that practices honorable work ethics deserves people's support, it is greatly appreciated, do keep up the good work!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Stella M.Santa Clara, CA11319Jul 25, 2024
Elie and his team helped sort out an overheating problem that my 2000 Camry had. More than likely the cracks in the exhaust manifold were getting the engine bay hot enough to raise intake temperature at idle to 200°F, boiling the coolant at 225°F, melting one of the radiator fans off of the motor, and causing the engine itself to sizzle! All in all the car needed a new exhaust manifold, fan shroud, head gasket, and while the engine was apart we also did the timing belt, water pump, valve stem seals, distributor plug reseal, injector seals, and a valve adjustment.
Price was very fair and the shop was a pleasure to do business with!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jordan A.Union City, CA2066424May 21, 2024
Quick to reply via yelp chat! Very knowledgeable and quick service. Dropped the car off at 7am and it was ready by 1pm.

Don't verbally abuse your customers. I called to ask if my car could be worked on earlier than the scheduled time and the owner said no. I had nothing else to do so I drove there 1/2 hour early and walked in to say I was here and would wait until my appointment time. The owner yelled at me and said he told me not to come early and that he was on his lunch break. Extremely unprofessional. I don't know how he gets the high ratings but I will never come back and will not recommend this shop to anyone.

From start to finish, everything went smoothly. My catalytic converter got stolen and City Auto Sales & Repair got the job done. They are quick to respond, reasonable/upfront/fair pricing, knowledgeable and completed the job fast. I will be coming back for all of my car needs. Thank you again!

I went to Elie's shop for getting brakes and rotors replaced. My car was fixed in less than half an hour. The price was very reasonable too. Elie is very honest and great at diagnosing the problem and fixing it.
