By far the best Mechanic Shop I have ever used. Z and Eddie are wonderful the treat as if your family. I recommend all of my friends to there.

If you are looking for an honest, quality, and fair priced mechanic, this is the place to go in Castro Valley. Zeke has helped us many times with different vehicles that we bring to him and he always does a great job and charges us way less than any other place that I have been too. What a relief to have found a trustworthy mechanic! They are hard to come by, but I found one. Yay!

Oh lord, where to begin…
Jeep is blowing fuse under hood. I replace the fuse, it blows, etc. Fuse is connected to fuel pump and auto shut off relay. That’s it. It terminates in the ECM (computer). Informs Zeke of the problem and he says that, «It’s gotta be the fuel pump!» I buy a new one across the street at Oreilly’s, bring him the part. Total for that fix = About $ 240 part and labor.
Days later he calls me and says it’s ready to pick up! Outstanding!
I get in the car, drive a block (literally a block away) and the fuse blows again. I call to see if he could help me get it back to his shop and he tells me to call AAA.
I get it back to the shop (pushing it down the boulevard by myself) and he says oh man, it’s got to be the ECM. Bad ECM. You order another and I’ll put it in.
Order new ECM (180 $), get the part a week later, give it to him, another $ 200 charge for labor, he calls me about 3 days later saying it’s ready to pick up. ALL SET! Awesome. I asked him if he drove it. Heck, I told him to keep it for a few days and use it to get back and forth to the parts house and home. He says yeah, it’s good to go. No problem.
This time I get about 3 miles down 580 and the same fuse blows again. You have to be effing kidding me. At this point I’ve used the three free tows I get with my AAA package. I don’t have anymore money to give to this guy but I figure what the heck, he’s made a ton of money off of me and he should make it right.
Get it towed back. Tell him that I’m upset and I don’t think I should pay anymore money to fix whatever the problem is. He says fine.
This guy literally the the electrical system of my Jeep apart, I know because I stopped by to check progress after a few days.
Finally he calls me and says it was a shorted wire coming back from the fuel pump. … a shorted wire. I paid an insane amount of money to someone to replace some very expensive parts, and he didn’t test the continuity with a multi-​meter? Really? I look and where the shrouds were with my wires neatly bundled and adhered to the body, they are now covered in electrical tape, the screws to my coolant reservoir are missing (it’s just bouncing around), and the harness is resting against the engine block.
This was a little over a year ago.
Went to have it smogged this year, and turns out when he replaced the fuel pump (that didn’t need to be replaced) he improperly wired it, installed the gasket improperly, and I’ve been leaking effing gas and fumes from the top of my tank for the last year. I was failing evap system because I had no fuel pressure because I was missing half the gasket.
This $ 3 shorted wire could have been diagnosed by a proper mechanic in less than half an hour. It was clearly frayed where he eventually showed me. This $ 3 shorted wire has cost me in excess of $ 1000 after having another mechanic (a real one this time) drop the tank and fix the problems Zeke caused. Went to visit Zeke and he asked why I didn’t just bring it to him to fix in the first place which he would have done for the low price of $ 80 labor and $ 20 part.
I told him that I would rather self immolate in front of his shop, standing on top of my beloved Jeep, than let him put a wrench to it again. Lesson learned.
Can’t wait to file my complaint with the BAR.

The mechanics do not have liscences how about that news flash. My car has major issues and the BAR (bureau of automotive repair) will have to step in im guessing! Beware people!!!

Zeke knows Saabs. He’s serviced my 2004 9 – 3 for years. Best service, best prices.

First time got my brother car (Camry) fixed here. I think he goes by Zeke, he charged me Excellent price compare to other auto repair shop. I got prices over the fon from few shops. He was nice and honest on the fon, told me he would charge me less than others. I said why not, let’s try. My brother works part time and full time student. Very happy drove home.
Thanks :-)

I have had work of all types performed here for a number of years because Homer & Zeke are honest, friendly, flexible and focused on customer satisfaction. They are always my first choice if they can do what I need done! Many thanks guys!

These guys are AMAZING! Reasonable prices, Excellent work, Great attitude. Even if you don’t have an appt., they’ll at least take the time to diagnose your problem. Schedule your next service with Homer and tell them Andy sent you.
