Cooper’s Auto Repair

Come here!!! This guy is fair, and his service is excellent. I mentioned to a friend how great this place was for getting my catalytic converter replaced on my scion xb and before I even named the shop he asks…
Was it coopers auto repair?
No way!!! I guess his good service must stand out.
I waited 0 min. He took care of me right away. 30 min later my catalytic converter was installed and was smogged before I knew it!!!
Excellent thank you!!! I will be back with my new truck to install new muffler now since I know your such a great shop !

Cooper initially replaced a muffler on my 2011 RAV4. The work was done in about 30 minutes and the price for time and materials was extremely reasonable.
Recently I had to source a random part to fix the exhaust system on a 2002 Tacoma. I pulled into his shop and showed Cooper a picture of what I needed. Not only did he know exactly what the part was when two other auto shops did not, he gave me the part for free. That saved me having to order it and wait for it to arrive.
He wouldn’t let me pay for it even when I tried. That’s just good business. I told him I would never go to another muffler shop again. Top notch service and results at very reasonable prices. What more can you ask for?

My family has been coming to Cooper’s for years because we have a great relationship with the owner. My dad’s professional relationship turned into a great personal one. We have a variety of cars, different models and brands and Cooper’s can fix any internal problem that we’ve had with any of them. All of the work that they do is meticulous and time/​cost efficient. He can also make great recommendations for other auto services which he does not provide.

I have gone to Cooper’s and have had three cars in for a smog test all passed and had some other work done there and eveything was fine. But a few weeks ago I took in a truck for a smog test and it did not pass. So he told me to do this and do that I did all went back and still did not pass so I took the truck to my main mechanic he drove it to a smog place and guess what it passed just fine. My mechanic told me that there is no reason that it should not pass. So I don’t know what game is going on here but if you go and your car dose not pass the frist time maybe try somewhere else.

Last year when I took the car for a smog check, another mechanic said there were so many things wrong with the car and were going to charge us around $ 600. My father suggested I take the car in to Cooper’s Auto Repair shop because they are really nice, but fair. I took it in, my husband and I only had to pay $ 150, for the smog check and to get a few other things fixed that needed to get fixed. The owner is very nice and friendly, and he does not overcharge or make up other conditions to charge you for. I recommend Cooper’s to anyone. I have been going back whenever I need to get something fixed on my car.

Similar to another poster, I first went to another highly rated smog check shop a few blocks away. Though only $ 40 all-​in with a craigslist coupon, there were 3 cars ahead of me and they did NOT offer a free re-​test if my SUV failed the smog check. I drove to Coopers and spoke with the owner who said the $ 50 all-​in smog check included a free re-​test, which was important to me because I knew my SUV needed maintenance but I wanted to get the smog check done ASAP if possible since I had a registration fix-​it ticket. Better still, he started on my car right away and it passed within about 15 minutes.

With a $ 1500 estimate list I paid $ 120 to procure from Woodside Auto I asked Leo for a second opinion. He immediately had my car on the lift and reassured me the lower control arm was fine, the engine mounts DIDN’T need replacing and the alt belt Was the only thing that needed replacing. I felt like Coopers is a sweet shop with a huge heart. I was treated as TOP PRIORITY and they replaced the belt as I waited. Total cost: $ 70. I felt like I found a true mechanic and they saved my sister-in-law’s truck a few years ago very reasonably.

I saw their ad at Costco for a brake job for $ 100 including the pads so I took my car there & had my brake pads replaced & the rotors cleaned for another $ 20. They did a great job & they were quick. They had a very good price. The owner was nice & respectful.
Their address is 2901 Middlefield Rd but they’re actually on a Dumbarton Ave. off of Middlefield Rd.

I went to this place based on Julie’s review. I called the shop on Friday to find out what time they opened on Saturday (8:30am). After I told him I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey he said I can be in and out in 15 minutes.
I showed up around 8:45am and I was in a rush. There was 1 car ahead of me, but the mechanic (really nice Asian man) asked the owner of the other car if he wouldn’t mind allowing my car to be smogged before his. That guys said it’s fine. I pulled up my van and was pulling away from his lot about 13 minutes and $ 50 later.
I’ll be going back for sure.
EDIT: I went back a second time for another car of mine. While this is a good place to go if your car passes smog, I found it less then deserving of 4 stars when my car didn’t pass smog. It was pretty expensive for each smog test (whether they passed or not), he charged a lot for diagnostic tests. I actually don’t think I’ll go back.

I couldn’t get into another of Unilocal’s highly rated smog-​check locations on Middlefield, so I popped into Cooper’s which was just down the street. I was able to get in and out in 20 minutes for only $ 40, including the smog certificate. I was so pleased, I returned within a week with two other family cars needing smog checks. I had the same excellent service each time. I knocked one star off for the customer waiting area which consists of a few resin chairs outside the shop. Other than that, the price and service were great.
