Another FANTASTIC experience at D&J Auto Service in San Bruno, CA. Not only is the work top notch every time, but the owner Daniel is absolutely committed to keeping the costs down and charging as little as possible for the SUPERB work they do. Extremely reliable, trustworthy, and FAST. Got my 2000 Mazda Protege completely serviced and new back brakes for $228.00!! Thanks to Dave Cresta and the San Bruno firefighters/paramedics for the GREAT recommendation

I've never left an auto mechanic in such good spirits. Excellent customer service, bargain prices, and quality work in good time. When my car needs repairs again I will happily return to D&J without shopping around.
I came in the first time to request a quote and was impressed by the low price and their unhesitating willingness to explain the repair process. To be specific, my 2006 Ford Escape had a cracked windshield wiper fluid reservoir and a loose hand brake. I asked to bring in a generic replacement reservoir ordered from the internet and they happily obliged, noting that they only accept generic parts that don't affect driver safety. Good! Was quoted $80 to install the reservoir and $50 to adjust the hand brake, and that's exactly what they charged me when I brought the vehicle in 5 days later. Turns out they also inspected my brakes (all good) and rotated my tires at no charge. Bonus! The repairs were made in two hours and I'm very pleased with the results.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 24, 2024Updated review
This is in response to the business owner accusing me of "wanting a discount or free service"
I was not asking for a discount OR service.
My ACDelco battery that I bought from D&J died after a year.
The battery has a 30 month replacement warranty from ACDelco.
I was asking for the receipt for the battery so I can have ACDelco or GM do a warranty replacement myself. I was going to do all of this myself.
Attached a photo of the battery that was giving low voltage.
Serial #05089
Battery Build Code G053R (Gold, May, 2023)
As you can see from my previous post, I posted the battery issue on June 14th, 2024 for a battery that has a giant "30 MONTHS" on it.
Pretty unbelievable response.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Another client that wants discount and dont want to pay for service and just put down others to uplift themself. What you say doesnt matter. Had you got the service for free then you wont complain. Seriously we offer fair price for the quality of work that we do. When you call google do get immediate response? No cause they are busy. We are a busy shop but we are fair. You dont want to pay for your battery so you bash us. So bottom. What you say doesnt matter because its grudge for being cheap and taking advantage if the process. Feeling entitled.
Jun 14, 2024Previous reviewDO NOT get your battery replaced here, I'm stuck with a battery that was replaced on April 2023 by D&J that went bad in June 2024. The Giant "30 MONTHS FREE REPLACEMENT" label is laughable.
Car was starting to give random errors and it turned out the ACDelco 35PS battery D&J Auto Repair provided a year ago was giving low voltage.
Been emailing these guys and I got no response. I called and got Christi on the phone which was unprofessional. First time, she said she would email the receipt, she did not. She also talked about hawaiian cookies that makes her fat? to another worker.
Another week later, I called and Christi simply refused to provide a receipt so I can get my battery covered under warranty replacement.
Christi gave me a talk about how the government tracks the battery. Christi, I just need the receipt to replace my battery with ACDelco/GM. I'm not running some crime here.
Off to Autozone or Costco where I should've gone from the beginning. - Sophia S.San Bruno, CA44345Aug 25, 2024Updated review
Not sure why I'm getting a response 7 months later...if we want to talk about "attention" I can post the email chain between you, me and the BAR (business of automotive repair ), which is a government agency that makes sure business don't take advantage of consumers, and that is exactly what happened here. That will show you, ALL the items you failed doing from the beginning. Only after me contacting them did you finally start working on my vehicle. Additionally I will be seeing you in court for this whole situation, so anything else you would like to say to me-you can as I am quite sure you have my cell phone number.

Nobody gets attention by bashing a small business because. Its means that what you say doesnt even matter. You just need attention. Yoy will not get a resolution demanding attention from the public. Follow the process. We dont accept phone calls asking for updates. We have email send it there. We have many clients and not enough front desk people to answer the question. Your are one of those that wants free service. I remember you to be honest. If all you want is bad mouth business for attention then whatcyou said does not matter because its false statement
Feb 1, 2024Previous reviewYou've had my truck since September 16th, it's February 1st and no one is calling me back! I've left countless messages and still nothing. I've left Christy a voicemail on her cell (I'm assuming) I've also emailed them and nothing. I'm going on YELP as a final resort thinking maybe this will get them to get me an answer!

You are wrong 100%. It was not fraud post. I should and could have sued you for the terrible defective part you installed. I still can as you never refunded nearly enough $ to me.

First we dont have a client name gifted. But i assure you we repair with integrity. Some clients ask to get service and not want to pay for it. So im assuming you are one of those clients that wants discount and was not given that. You are obvious fraud because you dont even use your real name thinking you can bad mouth others .
Jun 15, 2024Previous reviewUsed to be great Shop. No more with the staff and management changes. I got totally screwed over on repair job they did when they installed cheap and defective Chinese aftermarket parts instead of OEM. They will probably remove this review as they pay extra to Yelp for a "sponsored site".

Under new management but they still offer the same high quality service at reasonable rates. It's not easy to find a trustworthy auto mechanic service, but here is one right here.

Easily one of the biggest scams I've gone through. I have Carmax extended warranty. I asked for a transmission repaid window motor and air bag sensor. They fixed my transmission problem, and took 4 months to get a motor for my window and claim Hyundai isn't replying. Finally got my motor and never ever got back to me about my sensor . I called multiple times from multiple numbers and they replied to all numbers except mine . Til this very day I never got that sensor replaced and apparently to Carmax, once they pay the shop they can't take it back . D&J auto body must know that . Cause guess what Carmax says? I have to take this to small claims . Damn scam . Never going back again .
10/10 the worst shop and u professional and scam. If I can give negative star reviews I would.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - J. D.San Francisco, CA934012Dec 20, 2023

STAY AWAY...DISCLAIMER I USED THIS SHOP OUT OF NECESSITY OF NEEDING IT TO GET DONE ASAP...Used to be very upfront and fair pricing. Was given multiple quotes for rear brakes. Mechanic stated rear rotors could be resurfaced. When I asked for a small discount on the price due to choosing to put new rotors and not needing the time to resurface. Another person maybe an owner? Came and said they never resurface rotors right after I had just received a quote to do the job with resurfaced rotors???? clearly, someone is lying. I'm choosing to have it done because I don't have time to go around and get prices and quotes from other places. Absolutely horrible communication from owners felt like I was being chastised for asking for a discount. Clearly, it would take a lot less time to put on new rotors than resurface the old rotors.

It is unfortunate that we gave this guy an option to take our price or think about it first. But he fills entitled to get a discount regardless. The price is already discounted for $180 dollars. But he wants more. He only wants to pay $450. We provide quality service and that is what we charge period. First the brake pad alone is $383 to $483 in the bay area. So we charge him $570 for new pads and new rotors for his rear brakes. It would have been $750 without a discount. We gave this guy an option to find a different place that will give him the discount that he ask for because we already offer the lowest price in area. He insisted to do it here anyway. It is unfortunate that everything with this guy's grievance is all about a discount. Either you love us or you hate us. but don't spread lies bro. review the quality of the job. because that is what we are charging you for. Go to Walmart if you want cheap. Go someplace else if you don't want quality of work and no warranty. We provide one year warranty of labor and parts. Sorry for the inconvenience but you can take your car back. We will reverse the service that we did right now and we will give you 100% of your money back. Have a great day
