Ashton Auto Service

Had such a great experience with Ashton Auto Service today. Took my car in because it was making a noise and within in hour they had called me back with the estimate. A problem arose while my car was at the shop and they needed a part that could only come from the dealer and they told me they wouldn’t be able to get it until Tuesday (I dropped my car off on a Saturday). Later in the day I got a call saying that they had found the part in Fremont and I was able to get my car back same day. Great customer service! Highly recommend this shop.

This is my go to auto shop! Have had multiple cars worked on here and always feel as though I receive a fair price and quality work! They are honest and hard working mechanics that go the extra mile!

Hardworking, fair, honest and they get the job done quick and efficiently! Don’t waste your time anywhere else! I called every auto shop in the area and these guys were the only place that didn’t BS or waste any time. Every place I called gave high priced quotes and said they’d keep the car overnight and had to do more work than actually needed. I needed my car done now and didn’t want any extra unnecessary work done. Steve was amazing, extremely friendly and informative! I Got in before closing and they worked on it right away, got it done in 30min. They fixed what needed to be fixed to get my car going, then listed what I needed to get done in the future to have my car perfect. I can’t be happier with the whole process, just easy and stress free. My new goto auto shop! Thank you for you wonderful service!

The tire pressure light came on while I was driving down to LA for Thanksgiving, and I called their office in a panic 30 minutes before their official opening time. They were perfectly friendly and said I could come in. After checking the tire pressure, they let me know that it was probably a faulty sensor battery rather than anything wrong with the tires. I’m definitely not a car guy, and they were honest in telling me that I didn’t have to get anything replaced right away. Instead of going for the quick buck, they made sure I got home for the hoilday on time. Awesome service– if they were that nice to me, I can only imagine how well they treat their regular customers. Thanks again!

Steering wheel has been shaking for a while, so I gave these guys a call and even though it was later in the day on a Saturday, they had me come on over to take a look. One minute inside my car the guy knew exactly what the problem was, bad front tires. These guys went down to the tire store, replaced my tires, and checked me out in 30 quick minutes! Amazing! So happy! Will definitely be coming back, great work and great guys here!

Took my car in for a smog check. It turned out that because my battery died, the test failed because of a sensor not reading properly. They were nice enough to not charge me at all and gave me some advice to just drive it some more before trying again. Sure enough, I came back a week later and the test passed! Would recommend although they are not the place to go for full on collision body repairs.

Love this place for smog inspection. Quick, efficient and so friendly. You can shop at traders Joe or go to smitten during the wait.

—— HORRIBLE ——
I usually don’t write reviews (Good or bad) But this place is a TOTAL RIP OFF and it came to a point that I ended up writing one.
I went there to change front break pads for my 3 years old honda civic. Other then that car was COMPLETELY fine. I got a call from them that, both front and back break pads AND rotors need to be replaced. I was like, ok do it. Once I received the car, they had it jump started and didn’t tell me that they broke the alternator of the car. Once I came back home, car won’t start. They refused to take care of this fix. They asked me to pay another $ 800 to change the alternator. I was so pissed that I took it to Honda Service station right next to the street.
It turned out that only car battery was bad and got fixed in $ 150 then what Ashton guys were asking to change alternator for ~$ 800.
They do NOT know what they are doing. I will NEVER go here again.

Came in here for a quick smog, Steve the owner took care of us really quick! This is where I’ll be going for al smog services in the future!

Took my Honda here one day, and right when I walked in, the front desk person was too
pre-​occupied to even pay attention. But I decided to go ahead with the service because of the good reviews, the final payment was way over that I was quoted, and car had oil stains on the carpet, from their boots. They said it wasn’t them, but who else would it be…

I cannot say enough about the guys at Ashton Auto. Brandon and Steve are amazing. I have been bringing my car plus my two daughter’s cars to Ashton’s for almost five years. I have never had a bad experience. Our cars range in age from 1999 to 2014, and all different makes and models. I know their pricing is more than fair, because I have compared, plus they waive charges when they don’t have to… but that’s how they treat their customers. I never feel like I’m being over charged. I will continue to bring our cars to Ashton because I trust their service, their reliability and their knowledge of cars.

Called to get my car checked out and they offered service the same day. It was a simple fix that they included in the inspection cost, great deal! The service was clear and professional, the people were great, overall 5 out of 5 for my first visit. I hope all future visits are as good as this one.

I was told I needed a new manual transmission, so I took my car here to get a second opinion (just in case). I was quoted $ 3150, which is slightly lower than the first shop, so I decided to have the work done here. They were great! I spoke to Steve and Brandon, and they were both friendly and knowledgeable. The diagnosis fee was $ 124, but they waived it since I was having major work done. I took it in Wednesday afternoon and was told it would take 3 – 5 days or more since the weekend was coming up. To my pleasant surprise, my car was ready the next day! Most importantly, my car runs wonderfully! I feel like I’m driving a new car! I highly recommend Ashton’s!

I absolutely hate looking for and paying for auto repair service. But its a necessary evil and since my 06 Nissan has been good to me, i figure it should be time to love it back on this Valentines Day. I find Ashtons on Unilocal,naturally. But dont rely on their outsourced website to make an appointment. Its not reliable, so suggest you call to set something up.
I bring my car in and they input some things in the computer. I havent done any major maintenance, so i ask them to inspect anything and everything. In addition to preventitive radiator replacement. And engine oil change. Estimate about $ 450.
Sweet. Drop off my car. Get a call later saying its ready, and the estimate is pretty much right on point. Give or take taxes.
Apparently everything looked good still, but they could easily have upsold me some unnecessary repairs. Like if they told me my ATF needed replacing, i would have said fine, since it was a 10 year old car it was reasonable. But they told me it was still good.
All in all this place is a good, clean, and honest shop.

Super great service with expert advise. Honest mechanics with great customer service!

Broke down in Dublin while taking my wife to Stanford Hospital for appointment. These guys were nothing but helpful, courteous, and professional. They got my Saturn towed in, looked at, fixed and back on the road the same day.

Best personalized auto service around the Dublin /​Pleasanton area — my family has been coming here for years, and Steve (the owner) is the best. He remembers my parents and I by name, the make and model of our cars, and genuinely cares about whatever issues we have with the car. He goes above and beyond what’s expected of a basic oil change or engine diagnostics to tell you his honest opinion and what he recommends. Steve even rotated my tires once when America’s Tire told me something weird and that they wouldn’t do it.
I moved away to San Francisco over a year ago and yet still keep coming back to Ashton Auto because you can’t beat their service! Plus they are open on Saturdays and usually pretty fast about getting your car in and out while you wait.

Having trouble finding any auto shop open on Saturdays? Let alone a speedy, honest, and cheap one? Welcome to my dilemma on Friday night. I was unable to be without my car during the week due to work, so I needed a shop to not only be open on Saturday but be able to finish in one day. I came in with a laundry list of problems after getting a whole car inspection at another, shop and was really crunched for time due to me leaving on vacation soon. Not only did Ashton’s have the best customer service but they also prioritized and eliminated most of the things the other shop claimed I needed fixed. I am definitely coming back to Ashton’s for all my future auto needs after how much money and time I saved

Brief: Professional, approachable and they know their shi*t!
Scenario: Went for a car oil change for my Honda Accord 2012 SE
Step by step:
Made an appointment over phone for car oil change. I was told to stop by at 2 pm and the guy was waiting for me. Handed over keys, they asked to come back in 20 minutes. They checked tire pressure, changed oil and returned extra oil in my 5 quarts bottle. I asked for improving car milage and he checked my air filter (which he found dirty :(:() and suggested to change it. He gave directions where to get it and didn’t even charged me for changing air filter. Amazing guys, took reasonable time and charged me only $ 20 for oil change + air filter change (I bought my oil+ filter from Walmart). Would highly recommend them for car service and don’t forget to make an appointment.
Thanks Ashton Auto Service!

THE MOST HONEST AUTO REPAIR SHOP is why these guys are the best in the Bay Area in my family’s opinion. Without a doubt, if I can give Ashton Auto Service a 10 or 100 star rating, I would without having to think about it. I’m a proud long time customer for over 10+ years!!!
First off, I live in South San Francisco, which there are MANY Auto Repair shops in my area (from Daly City to San Mateo), but I only bring my SUV’s to Ashton Auto Service, because they do EXCELLENT work at very reasonable prices (no nickel and diming here), honesty and just really good & friendly customer service.
Most repairs are completed in the same day, depending on the time you drop off your car and the amount or type of work you need done, but minor repairs are usually complete within one day, which helps a lot if you only own one vehicle. They also have a tow truck for local tows, you might want to call about getting your vehicle towed to the shop.
Contact either Brandon or Steve for an estimate. Just look at the other reviews, customers are very satisfied with their work.
