Yes Auto Center

Joe is a great auto mechanic. Always honest and trustworthy, my family goes to him for our auto needs. These guys do a great job and you never have to worry about being ripped off. I highly recommend this shop.

I took my 2004 Honda Civic there a year ago when it was having engine overheating problem (because coolant wouldn’t stay in for longer than a couple weeks — it was a weird problem, because I didn’t see any coolant leaking once I stopped the car to look at it). I was worried that it was a radiator problem and would cost a lot of money. I went to the auto shop in Richmond at a friend’s recommendation. The owner diagnosed the problem on the spot (the coolant was leaking from the pump when the system was pressurized, like it would be when the engine is hot). He told me when I could bring it back for the same-​day repair, and when it was all fixed and done, the whole thing cost only about $ 400.
This has been my go-​to place since then whenever my car needs more maintenance than the regular oil change (the price there is reasonable, but it’s in Richmond and it’s a bit out of my way from Berkeley), and so far, I’m a satisfied customer.

My family and I have been taking our cars to this shop for over 10 years now. I live on the other side of the Carquinez Bridge and will drive, and/​or have had a vehicle towed, all the way to Yes Auto Center to have Joe take a look at our car woes. We’ve had everything done from breaks to a full on engine replacement done. Joe and the crew are awesome at what they do. Super honest, charge a fair price and won’t try to up sale anything you don’t really need. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality at a great price.

These guys went above and beyond. Oscar gave me royal treatment. He brought my 96 honda back to life after being parked for over a year. Flat tire, no fluids, electrical damage, newly salvaged, check engine light on, wouldn’t pass smog, previously overt heated, and not running. I was treated like the #1 customer. Oscar even drove it the required amount of miles once the check engine light problem was fixed. It took a few days for all problems to get fixed then i was referred to a shop that does brake&light inspections for the cheapest price i found. I hope this review does them justice. Honest dependable shop. Upfront quotes. Timely repairs. All problems repaired for around $ 475

Great work. Honest n dependable. Full of integrity. I highly recommend and reasonable. Worked on my truck and it runs fine. Joe and Oscar are my new friends.

Always outstanding, honest and friendly service. I’ve been taking my cars to him for over 10 years never a breakdown or an issue and regularly drive to Canada and back for family visits.
A dream mechanic.

Sole proprietor maintains a pristine shop, and is candid about workload/​wait time in a way that’s very welcoming of my business. Tomorrow my opinion will be a lot more informed, after I roll in for a smog check, but the two interactions I’ve had and countless drivebys say this shop is going to earn a fair [and tidy once I take delivery on the 5pt harness/​seat] pile of my automotive dollars.

The owner is a very honest person. I’ve been coming here for years. It was two weeks ago on Saturday, something stuck under the hood of my Honda Civic. I couldn’t drive the car. The owner fixed it and only charged me $ 20. You saved my day.

My family and I have been going here for years. Joe Yu is the owner and he is honest, helpful, kind, and very competent. Also, his service is fast and his prices are very reasonable. We are grateful to have Joe as our auto repair go-​to guy and although none of us live in Richmond, we are loyal customers because he is worth it!
