Takahashi Automotive, Inc

Denny is an honest and very capable business owner and mechanic. We have been bringing our Toyota’s to Denny for over 10 years and I know he gives me his honest opinion and does not oversell what is needed. One time we brought our car in for a check engine light and were prepared for a large bill for some computer or engine repair on our Camry. He just tightened our gas cap and sent us on our way. Talk about honesty. He will also be straight with you on what he can or cannot do. Recently, I recommended Denny to a friend who also found him to be honest and straightforward. I will definitely bring my car to Denny again.

Denny is the most honest and fair man in the automotive business.
You got no worries when you have his shop work on your car (s).

my dad is friends with denny and we used to bring my 62 impala when he had the old shop and he took pride in his work and always did a great job, i was happy to hear that he had opened up another shop because now i have another 62 that needs work and i wouldnt want to go anywhere else but him. if you need a great mechanic i would recommend denny and his crew they will always do an awesome job.

Denny did a great job with my Subaru which needed alignment, rims, and a new strut. He clearly takes pride in his work, and on top of that is friendly and a good communicator. Even when my insurance company was being slow and giving us a bit of the run around, Denny was on top of it, continually sending (and re-​sending) them the requested information. I’ve been to other shops in the bay area, and have had mixed results. I feel like Denny actually cares about his customers and his work. He also checked his work, and test drove the car after the alignment, which gives me further confidence in his shop. I will be back to Takahashi when it’s time for service!

Wow! These guys are amazing! My cars is running great thanks to Lee and Denny! They are super friendly and honest. Taking my car to the shop has always been a little nerve racking for me, but here they put my nerves at ease. They are highly skilled and knowledgeable, and were able to explain things to me in a way, that I would understand. Thanks guys for you awesome work.

Takahashi is a wonderful place to go for a busy working mother. He is so kind and really takes care of the customer. I was referred by a friend who is a old car restorer and I am completely grateful for his help in my two cars. You will love him and his great service.

Denny Takahashi has been my mechanic for over 20 years for my cars & truck young and old. Excellent work, quick turnaround for reasonable fees. Example of «above & beyond» service: I was leaving on a trip to So. Cal. on a Sat. morning. Denny worked on my car early Sat. morning (he’s usually closed Sat.) and I was able to still leave that morning. Denny & crew ROCKS!

My intentions on Unilocal are always better than my execution as far as actually writing reviews, but Denny was good enough that the guilt of not writing a review when he has so few has been hanging over me since I got my Honda serviced in July. My ‘car guy’ friend was actually taking my Boxster in to Tony at Heyer Performance and wandered down and ended up talking with Denny. He really liked Denny (and trust me, for that to happen, Denny has to be a mechanic’s mechanic — truly a car guy) and encouraged me to take my trusty Honda there. Denny did a great job, was very reasonably priced, and was pleasant to work with as well. I have lived near Mountain View for 10 years, and had never settled on a mechanic. I generally just followed the lowest quote whenever I got my car serviced. I found Denny through a stroke of luck, and from now on I won’t be taking my car anywhere else. I’ll also be writing a long-​overdue review for Tony at Heyer (I have 2 cars, both very high mileage and I take the Boxster to Tony and the Honda to Denny), but Tony has already been pretty well Unilocaled at this point, so I’m more concerned with giving Denny some deserved kudos first.

OK Yeah, I am back. But wait… The sequoia was making a metal on metal noise when backing up while cold. Denny had just done a break job and we knew we have 50% left and they couldn’t be warn in a month. We took it back anyway. Dennie and Lee took the rear brake assembly apart and inspected all the parts, including the parking brake assembly even though we never use it. While there was never a cause found for the noise, he didn’t charge us for his time. That’s what good customer service is all about. We’ll be back Denny. Thanks!

Denny takahasi performed major repairs with great care, reliable, and friendly service – at a great price. He came highly recommended through a friend and we couldn’t be happier. We’ll be back for future service repairs that come with an aging car. THANKS Denny!!!

First time that I’ve been able to be the first to review. Denny is The Man when it comes to automotive mechanical repair. Honest, reliable, knowledgable, and he stands behind his work 110%. He has even finished projects that I had started but couldn’t complete. I was a long time customer of his at his prior shop and am grateful to see him re-​open a new shop. A good mechanic with a perfectionists attention to detail is hard to find. Lee is his assistant and contributes to the success.
