A-One Auto

We quickly stopped by today — they were friendly, helpful and patched our tire for $ 15!

Went to A One for my smog test. Lei is a great guy who treats you the way you want to be treated. I will be giving him my business from now on. Please give A One Auto a try!

The owner is professional and patient. He explain every problems before trying to fix it. His diagnosis is also very detail and try to check every possibility.

Lei is a wonderful mechanic. He’s open and honest about what needs to be done and what can wait and he keeps you posted along the way so you’re never left wondering… «What’s going on with my car?» My car had a lot of work that needed to be done and Lei gets us back up and running and back on the road every time. I’m so happy so many other people spoke so highly of him in Unilocal or I wouldn’t have even known about him. If you’re in the area looking for a mechanic… Lei and his team at A-​One Auto are your guys!!! Thanks for everything Lei!

I feel safe bringing my car here. Like everyone says, Lei is super honest and does a great job. He works quickly and the prices are fair. Someone tried to offer him a big tip, but he refused. He really just wants to help and he likes what he does

Lei is the most nicest and helpful mechanic I’ve ever met. He has been taking care of my husband’s cars for years and now that the pre-​paid service package is done on my new car, I’ll be taking Acura to Lei for here on out.

Lei Du is quite possibly the most HONEST and understanding mechanic I’ve ever met. Two qualities you usually don’t find at any auto shop now days. I came here with a junker that an in-​law family member already cost me $ 1k to try to fix but couldn’t. Lei checked it out for me (ran a full diagnostic but only charged me an oil leak check. $ 40 for $ 120 worth).gave me a list and an estimate, then told me «the car isn’t worth it.» AND was concerned about me driving it home (I had my infant daughter with me) told me to park it and never drive it again…
Now I own a 2006 Prius and came here for an oil change and tire rotation. $ 40 total. He told me about a possible sensor issue within my tires but said not to worry as long as I check the pressure regularly.
That was 4 months ago, and now I’m back for another oil change. I’ve posted pictures of their services board, some prices listed. To give an estimate, my 2006 Prius is only costing me $ 25 for an oil change – regular oil.
I’ve recommended this place to all my friends and family.

Brought my car in after I’ve experienced some infrequent metallic grinding /​noises from the engine (vbelt) area.
The owner Lei took a look at the car and explained that he’ll have to diagnose the problem and call me later throughout the day. Two hours later he explained the problem in detail and gave me a quote of the repair, also explaining that the car will probably have to stay until Thursday, perhaps Friday.
One day later he calls me and tells me that the repairs are completed, the test drive is about to be done and I can pick it up today. For anyone wondering, it was a combination of water pump, pulleys, tensioners and vbelt.
Now here’s where the 6 star review comes if it were possible to give 6 stars:
I show up, and he actually comes up to me with a bag of my broken parts and explains in great detail what each part does, and how it’s broken. This is something that you JUST DO NOT see anywhere anymore. This is top quality right there.
Not only does the car drive as if it were new again, but the way Lei took his time to go through everything with you really deserves a perfect review. This man has just guaranteed future business should I ever need work done on my car again.

No down side to this place at all! Such a friendly owner and efficient at what they do! The guy’s name was Lei and he is honestly really genuine and caring. Unlike other smog shops were they try to make a quick buck off of you and rip you off, Lei tells you the truth!
Brought my car here for a smog check after recently fixing my engine light that was on. he basically worked through it with me to ensure that I drove enough miles before performing the smog so I don’t blindly go into, paying a crap load.

I’ve been coming here for the past few years for routine oil changes and other maintenance issues. The mechanic who runs this place, Lei, is very helpful and honest, and his guys work fast.
And even if there’s something you’re a bit concerned about, just ask. You can never be too safe with your car. Even if it’s something they’re not equipped to do here, like alignments, he’s more than willing to take a look at it for you to let you know what your problems are, free of charge.
The only downside is if you plan on just waiting here while he and his crew work on your car. Since the shop is so small, all he has is a couch in the shop with no TV, so bring a book or play on your phone. Or you can go across the street to Starbucks and hang out there for a bit.

Honestly there is no better and much more forthrightly honest mechanic other than Sir Lei Du. This guy really cares about the common good for the humanity of the people he’s servicing. For the first comment, I solemnly doubt that this place would even remotely rip you off. When I had to return for a problem to Firestone for not fixing and diagnosing a problem efficaciously, they charged me again. These guys wanted to make sure I didn’t incur a supplemental cost if the problem was ascertained to be fixed altogether. I recommend anyone come here for any car problem that they can solve (trusting it’s a universal problem that doesn’t require dealership specific maintenance).

My 1994 Jeep Cherokee failed its smog check, and i frantically came here to figure out why. Lei ran through the Jeep and explained what was wrong. There was a leak at the exhaust manifold, and that ruined my CAT. it was a pretty expensive repair, and it was also a repair i could do myself at home with a few friends. so he told me what to replace, and low and behold it passed smog.
Lei was very detailed and helpful, and even though he didnt profit off my repair he still went out of his way to help.

Lei was great. There was a bit of a hiccup in the process after my car was fixed but lei fixed it immediately. I will be coming here every time I have car issue. Overall great experience with this repair shop. Excellent service. Thank you lei.

Connected to the former 76 gas station (forgot what it is called now). Stopped by here around 11:00 am on a Friday for a smog check. Lei helped me and he said it’ll be done in 30 minutes and it certainly was. Paid exactly $ 40 which is a reasonable price. Provided me with a receipt and a certificate.
There are two couches in front where you could sit and wait if you want; there’s no TV or anything so you’re better off being on your phone. Conveniently I just crossed the street and got a drink at Starbucks and browsed Rasputins. If the wait is longer you could cross Hesperian Blvd. and get some Taco Bell, In-​N-​Out or you can shop at Walmart.

I second with most review’s comment.
1. 40 bucks flat rate on smog check is one of the best deals around. it was done in timely and professional manner.
2. Lei is very honest, considerate and professional about his work. he saw through few items that I’ve been overlooked for over a year due to advice from other mechanics. my 2004 Ford Explorer is in much better shape and ran much smoother now thanks to him! the price for repair is very reasonable as well, and he never push any unnecessary parts/​services. A true mechanic, not a sales person. :)
highly recommend!!!

Quick service. $ 40 flat for smog check, and Lei was awesome to chat with while I wait.

I did my smog check for my wife’s Accord there. They are really quick. The guy was going to have his lunch but imediatly helped us without any hesitation. So I also got my own truck smog checked there. Highly recommended.

I’m giving this place a Five Stars for the exceptional customer service they provided. Mr. Lee is very knowledgable mechanic and he’ll go over every bit of detail to tell you what’s going on with your vehicle. I’d recommend this shop to my fellow Unilocalers.

Good price for oil changes. I hope people dont just come here for that. They might increase the price if too many to handle.

Very honest and considerate auto repair shop. I believe his name was Le, he went up and over to help me get a quote from BMW, but ended up fixing the issue with my car himself. And saved me $ 500+ from ordering parts from BMW! Nice people do exist! I was totally transformed that day. And my let down of humanity lifted, if only for a little while.
Totally made my day a happy one. Highly recommended for a no-​hassle-​quick and accurate diagnosis-​auto repair shop.
