Fremont Auto Repair 2

One thing i have learned from reading Unilocal reviews are to be aware of fake and real reviews.
The fake reviews have 1 or 2 reviews, give 5 star ratings, no pictures from other places.
This establishment has multiple 5 stars from reviewers with alot of reviews under their profiles.
When it comes to finding an auto mechanic, suspicion and dread are the first thoughts that come to mind. Apprehensive thoughts of getting ripped off and upsold for unnecessary repairs creep up.
I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I was going to LA for a disneyland trip with the family when i noticed my coolant reservoir was full when the engine was running, from what i remember it should be on «low» when it is running. The waterpump, radiator cap, the radiator itself, or the coolant not circulating due to a blockage could be the issue. In other words, $$$$$$$$$$ would have to be spent.
They did an inspection of my vehicle and they were very thorough, it turns out the coolant reservoir was overfilled when i had an oil change at another place. They sucked out the excess coolant.
They went through the spark plugs, removed and inspected 4 tires. They did NOT upsell me to replace my air filter even though it was slightly dirty, they did NOT upsell me to replace my brakes, they still had 10,000 miles left.
The only thing that they recommended replacing was the battery, it was over 5 years old, and had failed an ohm meter test. I went with it and had them replace it for me. If i had not, I may have had to find someone in the middle of an unfamiliar parking lot to get a jump start.
They air cleaned the engine of all the old crud grime.
I would recommend this place, they have a comfortable break room with free wifi.

I been going to Juan and his crew for years now. Only person I can fully trust with my car. I like that he breaks things down with someone who doesn’t know much about cars and does what he can to make you understand. I will continue coming to him with my car and future (if I ever have the guts to give up my car) car.

I always take my Avalon to them for oil change, for brake inspection, for check engine light or anything else. They have very reasonable price and I never had any problems with the work they do. Juan is always very helpful in scheduling appointment, explaining the problems and fixing it for reasonable price. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Best place in the area… anyone can fix your car but only they can do it with honesty… i am going there for 3 years and always get the best service… juan is always very nice and explain the problem before fixing… always justifies the price…

As I write this review, car is being checks out. Really impressed by the level of courtesy and honesty displayed by the shop. Juan is the manager and you can tell he’s there to get the job done without all the BS normally kicked your way as a customer.

Fremont Auto Repair took ADVANTAGE of me!
I’ve WAS a loyal customer for over 4yrs. Driving from Pleasanton to Fremont just to give these guys business because I really liked Juan. Then when I moved to San Jose I still brought my car to them. I had them replace my brakes on my BMW. After they installed the brakes, I had to drive back several times on several different occasion because they squealed so much. They were never able to actual fix the problem. I should have known better then. But I still went back. BIG mistake!!! After several, high priced, repairs I had to repair the window regulator on both of my rear windows. First time I did, the regulator worked just shy of a year. Likely I called Juan and they were able to warranty it out, after giving me a hard time about it. After renting a car for 2 days they replaced the regulator. Exactly 3.5 months later the same regulator went out again. When I called Juan to info him of the problem, he denied repairing the window. He said they had already repaired it once free of charge and that if they repaired the window again they would charge me FULL PRICE! WHAT??? I was outraged! So I asked if they can charge me labor but not for the product, because technically I received a malfunctioning product in the first place. He said NO.
Trouble customer service. And bad business ethics.
I DO NOT recommend doing business with these crooks!

I came here to get an estimate to replace a rubber weather strip that goes along the windshield, and they tried to say I needed a whole new windshield? Said this would cost a couple hundred dollars. Huh?.. yea? I left and never went back.

Juan and his crew have been taking care of my families vehicles for a few years now. It wasnt until a major motor replacement when I was made aware of exactly what good business and good mechanics are made of.
Fremont Auto repair 2 are professionals at what they do.
and as importantly they are honest. Something I appreciate when you have to replace a whole engine.
two thumbs up.

Juan has been working on my cars for past 6 years and always does a great job and at a reasonable price. Would recommend coming here if you are in Fremont area because they are knowledgeable on different car brands.

Do not go here they could not fix our car we have taken it there multiple times to have it fixed they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the car finally I took my car to the Toyota dealership and they found a bunch of mistakes that the Fremont auto repair # 2 did they used duct tape to stop a leak they laughed as they said that they could not believe it. I would never take any of my cars here ever again

Juan, Manuel, Pepe and Milo have been working on all my cars and my limos for the past 3 years and i think its about time that i gave them a review on Unilocal,they are a 5 star place with master mechanics, master troubleshooters and all service is done in a timely manner. They are perfectly located in the Irvington Dist of Fremont where i can leave my cars and limos and walk to take care of my dry-​cleaning, grocery shopping and amp up on coffee. But what i most like about this place is there knowledge, and understanding of problems that arise in a vehicle ~ they take the time to find the root cause, the source of what ever may be wrong. when talking to them they prioritize items that may be wrong or are about to go out and discuss a game plan to resolve all issues in my time frame, Let me see… they did my breaks jobs (all around), pulled engines out, Head gaskets replacement, worked on my heater cores, troubleshooted electrical wiring problems, fixed electrical window problems, Transmission replacements, total fluid changes Radiator replacements and much much more !!! i would and do recommend this place to my family and friends !! thanks guys at Fremont Auto Repair.

Fremont Auto Repair was recomended to me by a local auto parts store. After viewing Unilocal for reviews I called them to fix a failed water pump on my Toyota Tundra. Juan was as good as it gets!
He gave me a good price and finished the work on time as promised.
I would return and do business with them anytime!
Thanks for a good job!!!

Juan Sanchez — think of this name when you need auto repair.
He is fantastic. I had a very bad problem with oil issues with my car.
Smoking, smelling, burning oil, major leaks and much more…
If you have any issue with your car, please take it to Juan and you will never regret it.
I couldn’t believe he did not charge much more! Lucky for us.
Juan is fabulous and so are his mechanics Pepito and Manuel.
They are most definitely Gentlemen.

Tell him Mary and Susie sent you. Remember, you won’t regret it, but you will if you don’t call or go by.

This is for windshield replacement:
I had this fat crack going halfway across my windshield and had been driving around with it for about a month until I decided I should probably get it replaced for my safety… or was it everyone nagging me about my safety? I’m not sure.
Sooo… after doing some Unilocal research, I called a few places to get a quote. For my car, most places stated from 250 to 290 bones. No thank you, so I was excited when I called Fremont Auto Repair 2 and got quoted for 210.
The manager handled the entire phone call, calling me back with quotes and such in a very professional manner. He even managed to work with me to squeeze me in later that day before I went to work! We booked an appointment time, and it took about 1.5 hours total.
The manager let me know that the windshield replacement is subcontracted through this other guy that he respects and trusts because he always does a great job and does not re-​use glass like some people may do.
Now I got me a new windshield to go and crack again with those rock chips on the freeway.

I got my windshield replaced here and they did a great job. They were very courteous to tell me the exact time and even called me when the car was done. The estimated time was about 2 – 3 hours and it only took an hour! I called around other places to get estimates and this is by far the cheapest $ 140.00 flat. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs a windshield repair.
