Dhillon Auto Repair

This shop is from heaven! After living a year and a half nightmare getting stuck everywhere in my dodge charger while getting scamed THOUSANDS of dollars with countless incompetent «mechanics» I was told by several people to trade my car in while I still can. About the 7^th place I was recommended was DIHLLON AUTO REPAIR. This was my last resort even though I love my car. I went there JESSIE helped me. I got a reasonable price, after they ACTUALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM unlike other known shops I took it to, and it was fixed within a few days. They even fixed the loose chain the crooked shop had my car ticking (so embarrassing). I’ve been driving with no ticking noise, no leaks, no blown head gaskets, no overheating ect all over the place for months. Smooth sailing. I would have saved a ton if I only took it here a year and a half ago. Now my husband doesn’t have to give up his car for me we both have well running cars. I can go on trips with no worries too! Then, my mom just took her car there yesterday and YES she was more than satistfied! It is to the point instead of having a bunch of people play guessing games and wasting time and money. Bottom line this shop has made my life less stressful and my car is back to awsome! Thank you Jessie and all of the mechanics who repaired my charger!!!

Trustworthy and thorough. We won’t go anywhere else. Jessie returns your call quickly and gets the job done well. They are the best.

Dhillion Auto Repair is awesome! I recently came here for AC work, radiator, and the 90k service. Jessie the front person, I believe he might be the owner, great guy by the way. He walked me through everything on the quote at the beginning. He was very transparent and pleasant. He even made a few jokes when he would call me and provide updates or things that need to be fixed. The final checkout with him he again walked me through everything and explained what they had done. Overall, it was a great experience, and the truck seems to be running good, almost feels brand new. Thank you, Jessie!

I have been a customer for more than 7 years now, and recommend Dhillon Auto Repair to all my friends.
I have always received the best recommendations on what to do or not to do based on what makes sense, not based on what will be more money for them.
There are many instances where Jassi went beyond what I would have expected. Here are just a couple of instances as an example:
* One time he put in more than 30 mins of labor when he realized the repair would have needed an expensive part replacement — and didn’t charge me because he didn’t fix anything.
* Another time he helped fix the muffler — wasn’t a big deal, but it still took a good 15 mins to get it done, and again, no charge because it was something minor.
I would gladly recommend Dhillon Auto Repair to anyone.

I’ve been going to Jassi for over 15 years now and will never go anywhere else. Jassi always goes above and beyond to make sure my car is taken care of and at a great price.

Rude, price at least $ 100 more for 90k service from other equally qualified shops, not willing to corporate… will never go back

Hands down the best repair shop I’ve been to in the Bay Area!!! I highly recommend them!!!
I had my car towed in with no good expectations. The owner was so sweet and accommodating! I was on my way to work when my radiator blew out. He let me work in his back office while they squeezed my car in to be repaired that same day.
I will be coming back for any and all future repairs.

When your car has an issue, it is enormously stressful and most of the time painful on the wallet. Even more important is to hope you don’t get the big screw in the process.
I was referred by Les Schwab down the road, after they replaced a faulty front wheel bearing and the grinding would not go away. The tech was certain it was either my transfer casing (horror) or differential bearings (less horrific but still expensive).
Les Schwab called Dhillon and sent me right down at 5:20 pm.
Jassi had one of his shop guys ride around with me to identify what it could be. I had to drop it off the next day (Thursday) so a proper diagnosis could be done. There are very few places in Fremont who are qualified or trustworthy enough to make this type of repair work on a GMC Denali.
I received word mid Thursday transfer casing was fine, but my front differentials had metal shavings in its oil and needed to be redone.
My options
1. Used-​no warranty-​$ 1100 not including labor
2. New GMC parts which have to be piecemealed as GMC no longer makes them entirely new as a unit-​over $ 2,000 with labor
3. Rebuilt with new parts and using my existing casing-​$ 1500– with a one year warranty
I chose to rebuild. Six days later after GMC had to do a recertification, my truck is as good as new and drives impeccably. Jassi gave me a 10% off for being a new customer and kindly threw in a free oil change.
While I grimaced at writing a $ 1500 check, the service and amazing work that Dhillon’s did on my truck has been worth ever penny.
If I could give 10-​stars I would.
Thank you guys!!!

This is the most honest, trustworthy, reasonably priced auto shop I have ever been to in my entire life! I actually feel good when I spend my money here, because I know an honest no nonsense, non gauging repair has been performed.
Thank you Jessie and your crew for many jobs well done. I can’t tell you how it feels to have the confidence of knowing I am entrusting my car to mechanics who are ethical and reliable.
The first experience I had with this shop was when my father took his car in and the repair was far less than the quote. Normally, we expect to pay more and having worked at a gas station that used to employ mechanics, I was familiar with the unethical practices of many mechanics and auto shops.
Jessie treats us with kindness and respect. This is also uncharacteristic of a lot of shops and owners. I am so glad to have found this place. Every business should take their cue from the way this place conducts business.

Went into Dhillion for a timing belt change at a reasonable price on my Toyota minivan. It was completed, but a week later the area around the belt was leaking oil. I had to pay more to get that fixed which was explained as additional parts that had to be replaced, but I was highly suspicious it was caused by the earlier timing belt repair. It cost me $ 400 more and I wish I had not come here at all. Thats the last time I give any auto repair business to this place.

I recently took my car in for some regular maintenance. I stopped by for an estimate. The estimate was for a good price. I brought my car in a few days later and the work was done within the promised time frame. While they had my car apart, they also replaced a few extra belts that were needed. This is exactly what I wanted. I’ll be back.

Always best service, honest opinions, never suggest anything unnecessary (my dealer suggested a brake change more than 1 year earlier than it should be). Also very reasonable price.

I used their services a few times while in California.
Here are a things I liked.
— Good diagnosis and advice
— Reasonable cost and time estimates
— Good at repair and service jobs

I haven’t even had work done here but I felt I needed to write this review!
On two different occasions for two DIFFERENT repairs, their reason for not being able to the work is they don’t have the tools for my car. (92 7Series BMW)
First time I asked was a couple years ago about getting my head gasket replaced and was told no. OK that’s fine… I did it myself!
Second time, I called to ask about replacing the upper control arms and I already have the parts so I just needed a quote for the labor. Now first thing all repair shops ask is «what kind of car», right? So of course the guy I talked to KNOWS what kind I have! He says, yeah I can do that for about $ 125! Sounds great! I’ll be by tomorrow!
That day comes and I call in to make sure they have the time available. I explained that I called the day before and when I told him what I needed done, he stops me and says «no! I can’t do that because I don’t have the tools for it»!
I let him know that I talked with someone already and was told it could be done! He goes to tell me «well maybe you didn’t tell him what kind of car it was.»
This place needs to get on the same page here and maybe invest in some more tools!

There is one thing that’s very difficult to find (almost extinct), ‘an honest and competent auto mechanic.’ And that’s what Dhillon Auto Repair is. I had taken my 2007 Mercedes c280 to fix a leaking power steering line and they fixed it quickly and probably in ¼th the price I would have paid elsewhere. Highly recommend Dhillon.

My husband & I just moved to the area and were looking for a place to take our cars. I had taken our cars to a couple mechanics nearby but wasn’t thrilled with their services, so I hesitated going back. I decided to check out Dhillon Auto Repair after finding them on Unilocal.
They are a moderate-​sized repair shop located right on Fremont Blvd and Bonde Way. They have a roomy front office with ample seating and Wi-​Fi. There is nothing to do around here so if you’re going to be stuck here, bring your smartphone or laptop. They can also be easy to miss from the main road so keep your eyes peeled. They also don’t have a parking lot so be prepared to park on the street :/​
The owner/​manager of this shop is friendly, polite, and professional — hands down, he provided me the best customer service I’ve encountered at an auto repair shop. Unfortunately, their mechanical skills don’t seem to coincide with their service skills :(
I brought my car in here to get the brakes looked at since they were squealing. They recommended replacing the brake pads — so, we got both the front ($ 170) and rear (another $ 170) pads replaced. Even after 3 separate visits, my brakes are STILL making noise, and even worse than when I originally brought it in! I don’t have the time to keep bringing my car back to the shop & am upset that the issue wasn’t fixed.

I came here first time based on Unilocal reviews and the service is great. Though u might to have to wait for sometime if u come on a busy day but it’s worth it. They know what they do and the cost is really the same across other mechanic shops. Mine s a 2003 honda accord with 120k miles on it. After servicing from Dhillon I feel I don’t need to look for another mechanic shop. I recommend this place and be there at 8 to get first preference …

Came here to have a TCM installed which I could only get from the dealer. Of course the stealership labor cost is up the ass. Called Dhillon Auto and Jassi said they could install it. The price was reasonable and I was told it’d be done the next day. Called to check on the progress. Jesse said they were test driving it and I could pick it up when they’re done. Awesome.
It took them at most an hour for the repair. The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable, the service was quick, and they kept to their word of having it done the next day. Highly recommend these guys. I’ll be coming here for my tuneups, too.

Have been going here for a long time.
Jessie is open and honest. Takes time to explain. Does not try to sell that is not required.

Only place I will take my car. I used to be able to work on cars, but these new ones are too complicated and access is a bitch. Point is i do know about cars. I had a number of problems that Jessi fixed. He got one wrong part from his supplier that they replaced at their cost without question. Replaced the water pump. Also replaced a couple of worn belts and didn’t charge me. Said it was to make up for the inconvenience of having to take it back in.
Had other work done before. Fair price and knowledgeable !!

I have been to this facility many times. At a certain point, the battery of my car had died. Electrically, the battery tested to be fine, but the car would die again and again. They tested the car and battery over two days and finally told me that «their gut feel is battery is dead, even though it does not show that». When I challenged them little bit, Jassi totally backed off and said that it was up to me to decide what I would do. He would not say that I should change the battery because he could not prove it. Based on my gut feel, I told him to go ahead and change the battery.
These guys are honest, but I don’t perceive them to be super cheap. I am assured with them that they will not cheat me, for example, they will not «fix» what is already working great. However, I am not sure if they don’t overcharge. For example, they may charge 2 hours of labor instead of 1 hour of labor. They are quite reasonable in charges, but not the cheapest in town.
