      My 1969 Mustang broke down on it's way back from LA and I called Willy's out of the blue. They said it would be fine to tow it to their shop and discuss the repairs. Turns out the cause of the problem was with the previous engine builder - apparently the worst in the United States. Willy and Willy Jr. were very patient as I made a claim against the previous engine builder. My 69 was in their shop for about a year while I did this.

      What mechanic would let you basically store your car while you gather a case against another engine builder for a year? I doubt many. When all was said and done, the insurance paid out and willy's got a check to build a new engine.

      I could not be happier. The people at this shop are a joy to deal with. My Mustang now runs like a champ.

      I wouldn't take it anywhere else.

      As a woman I never feel I can trust what I am
      being told is wrong with my car. At Willy's auto repair not only was I told all that was wrong with my van but it was explained in detail. They made sure my car was safe for me to drive anywhere I needed to go. I was fortunate that they were able to take me in as a walk in. I definitely will be going back to take care of any of my car needs. Thank you so much for showing concern for my safety.

      I pulled my car from supposedly "All Pro" shop, this after shelling $180 to run diagnostics. Best auto repair decision i made. Took my 255k mileage, 2015 Nissan Rogue to Willy's. After a brief interview about "what is going on with the car", He told me to come back in 2 hours.
      He ran diagnostic test, drove the car and came down with a very economical solution. Long story short, paid a fraction from what the other guy wanted.
      Willy does not sugarcoat. He is candid and tells it like and how it is. He is very reasonable.
      It is very difficult to find a good and trustworthy mechanic. With Will - I highly recommend!!

      I drive a 1965 VW Bug, and Willy's has come to my rescue more times than I'd care to rattle off. Every time I've been in a pinch, they've come through for me. They're even able to get parts for my car in quick fashion so it's not out of commission any longer than necessary. I always appreciate their fast and honest service.

      Professional diagnosed my car quickly, gave me price, and estimated time for repair was done one day earlier and did not overcharge me. Very satisfied with service

      My Tire popped when I was in SF getting flowers, and fortunately, I was able to discover Willy's auto on Yelp! I called him to see if he was able to patch it up for me. Despite being busy, the owner took me in. He was super friendly and kind! They patched up my tire within 10 mins, and it was good as new and ready for me
      To drive back to San Jose! Thank you so much, Willy's auto repair!

      I took my classic 60s Bronco to Willy's for years while I lived in San Francisco. They are the best shop you are going to find when it comes to fixing vintage cars and trucks. Willy runs a great family business! They are fair, honest, and the most knowledgeable mechanics you are going to find to keep your old car running great. I used Willy's for all kinds of mechanical issues as well as some body work and a full paint job on my 67 Bronco. They are great people and you can trust them completely to work on your vehicle! It is always fun to see the other classics in the shop too.

      I left San Francisco a few years ago and I have never found another mechanic who compares. Fortunately, Willy turned my truck into a reliable runner and a great looker so I haven't had to deal with many issues since leaving.

      Thanks to Willy's for all their great service over the years!
