Keep It New Auto Service

These guys are awesome I called around 4pm to see if I could bring my car in. The check engine light had just came on and I had to get it done quick. These guys told me to come in and fixed the problem HELLA QUICK. Then as I was checking out I realized they closed at 5pm. They stayed open a little later for me XD love these guys this is the only place I will go to get my car worked on. They had done a brake job on my car as well and hooked me up with a good price! THANKS YOU GUYS!!!

What is wrong with me?! I took wayyyyyy too long to review our go-​to auto repair shop. Ann is a gem and always super friendly and attentive in scheduling appointments and going over costs analysis. L and his team are obviously skilled workers and the pricing is well competitive. If you’re looking for honesty, quality and competitive prices, look no further. Keep it New is the place! I only wish they did transmission repair. We appreciate that they refer to other quality shops like A-​1 transmission for such.

We have FOUND our new «car place»! My husband and I just moved up here to Brentwood, and «Keep it New» was the first place I tried for routine oil change, no need to try anyone else! Their prices are competitive and I feel like I can trust them. After my car is finished they explained what they did and what (if any) suggestions they have for upcoming maintenance. This is a huge help when it comes to budgeting, for example: last time I was there Ann mentioned I would soon be needing a new filter of some sort (we are not car people), so I already had the higher dollar amount in my head when I went in for my next oil change. No surprises, love it! Plus, they have an App that they get to «punch» each time you come in to save up for a free oil change, awesome!

This place is the best wouldn’t take my car anywhere else. Ann is a GEM.

I’ve been looking for an oil change place that I feel comfortable leaving my car once I turn over my keys and that is in the same town. If you’re like me I’m not so easy to win over my trust. I’m writing this review while sitting in there waiting area. So far Ann has been friendly and caring and interested in me as a person. I see the way she is helping a customer with the phone app they have. Very professional!!! So far I like what I see and what I feel. I don’t know the gentleman behind the counter but is also very professional like Ann. They just helped another customer that walked in to pick up his car. The gentleman behind the counter asked the customer if he wanted to see the old parts. What mechanic now-​a-​day tells you that. So far all the reviews I read about this place are accurate. I walked in about 3:50pm and they just told me may car is just about done its 4:42pm. Very reasonable time. I see it pulling up to the front of the shop now. I had a great experience at Keep It New Auto Service.

Brought a used car here for an inspection before buying. Linn did an amazing job. Turns out he used to work for a dealership buying used cars and inspecting them at one point.

When I moved to Brentwood and needed an oil change for my car, I looked for something
I believe in supporting local businesses. Keep It New had a high rating so I went there and since then has been my go-​to place even though I don’t live in Brentwood anymore.
Last December the Check Engine light came on and my car went into ‘limp home’ mode. I brought it at Keep It New and was told the VTEC module had gone bad; with that kind of news I prepared for the worst. Not only was it fixed WELL UNDER what I expected it to be but it was fixed in 3 days!
Yesterday I had an appointment for an oil and transmission fluid change + headlights replacement but had arrived an hour late. They were able to squeeze me in and got my car back in a few hours. I don’t recommend arriving late to appointments though.
Linn, the owner is very knowledgeable and his rates are more than fair. Its hard to find a trustworthy mechanic or service place but Keep It New *is* that place.
BTW, download their app to make it easier to keep track of when services are due for your vehicle.
I’m more than happy to another FIVE STAR review for Keep It New Auto Service.

Honest repair shop which is refreshing. Took the time to explain details and were very accommodating to my schedule. Happycustomer

We found this place approximately 7 years ago when a friend referred us. Have been a loyal customer ever since and will NEVER leave. Honesty and integrity are top of the list here. Simply the best, bar none.

Can’t believe that I haven’t provided a Unilocal review yet — realized this when once again, I picked up one of our cars that was being serviced and said to myself «I wish all service businesses were like Keep it New». Ann is the service adviser and she knows her craft — she recommends to her customers what she would be doing if it were her car. My husband feels that the service personnel are top notch (and he known cars — having been a former jet mechanic, he has a good grasp on what is needed and what is B.S.). Keep it New is well worth the drive out to Brentwood to ensure your car is taken care of with expertise and honest service personnel. We drive the 30 minutes to do that with both our cars and in fact, we’ve referred five of our family and friends who also agree with our assessment of the staff and service. Our only concern is that Keep it New will get so well known that the wait to get our cars in for serving will be long.
Kudos to a business that sets the bar for great and honest customer relations and superior service!

After living in the area for 25 years and bouncing from mechanic to mechanic because none of them seem to deliver any consistency with their performance, I think I have finally found the mechanic shop I will be sticking with. Ann who runs the office is very knowledgeable and can break down any repair into detail and always sticks to the prices she quotes. All repairs so far have been wonderful… so up to this point I can give this place a big thumbs up.

My family will probably never search for an auto shop again. Keep it New has been so good to us! We became loyal customers years ago, when they fixed a control arm on my car. We spent thousands trying to correct they alignment. Within 2 minutes they showed me the problem and soon had it fixed.

I brought my car in to get new brakes because the Honda dealership said I needed new ones. Shortly after dropping off my car, I got a call saying my brakes were fine and far from needing replacing.
The only conclusion I can come up with, the Honda dealership was trying to take advantage of me by telling me I needed the brakes, so I would give them more business.
I appreciate the technician and Ann in the front office of Keep it New, for being honest. In this day and age, it’s harder to find the honest business people. Thank you Keep it New. You won my business and I will be happy to refer others to you as well.

Excellent shop! Linn is the most honest, knowledgeable mechanic in the east bay. Ann at the front desk is very sweet and helpful too. We take all our vehicles here.

Just moved to this area and needed to find a mechanic that we felt comfortable with and could trust. We were referred to this shop by other residents in our community, so we thought we would give them a try. Without going into to much detail, we found them to be reasonable and honest. So glad we found them to maintain our vehicles, and so close to home.

COMPLETELY CONFIDENT IN THIS SHOP ! I brought my 2008 Chrysler van to the dealer to change a hose. They wanted $ 979.00. It was supposed to be covered under my extended warranty. Joke ! I ran from Antioch to my local shop and not only did he kindly do all the repairs he only charged us
$ 127.00. WOW. I will be going here from now on. Thank you for making me feel safe, respected and honored.

Amazing! I was so up set after dealing with cooks auto collision, I found keep it new through Unilocal and I absolutely recommend coming here for any automobile needs. The owner is such a nice & honest gentleman I will definitely be returning.

Excellent service. Brought my car in for an oil change and headlight replacement. In and out in less than an hour! Total bill was under $ 100 and they gave me a discount because I mentioned Unilocal.Awesome. I will be back.

I’ve been to Keep It New twice. The first time for an oil change (awesome price!) and the second a problem with my brakes. I want to say first off that I am a woman and there is 0 sleaze here. I feel 100% comfortable and know that I will not be taken advantage of. This is huge for me. With my simple $ 26 oil change the owner brought me to the shop area and showed me how the previous mechanic over-​tightened a component of my oil filter. He explained how bad this was for the car and said «If you take it somewhere else…». And this is said completely genuinely. I brought it back due to a problem with my brakes and the same treatment. This was an expensive fix (priced fairly though) and with our hesitation he agreed that some shops try to invent problems to make a buck. He said «If you take it somewhere else make sure they show you the faulty parts they replaced». And that is exactly what he did with us. When we came to pick it up my husband went in first while I wrangled the kids. I came in after the owner explained everything to my husband. Then he came to me and showed me as well. He is authentic and genuine and treats women fairly and equally. Anne is also very nice and personable and friendly with everyone. Every time I’ve been there she’s talking with someone like they are long time friends.
This place needs to be on a «Best of Brentwood» list (maybe it is I don’t know but it deserves to be).

Had my truck worked on twice now by them. 1^st time was plugs and ignition coils, second time was brake pads and rotors. Both times it was done professionally, quickly, friendly and cleanly. Not the cheapest but didn’t get fleeced either. Highly recommend them for auto repair needs.
