Miranda’s Auto Electric

After a terrible experience and misdiagnosis from a Corvette specialists just a few doors down from Miranda’s, the owner felt so bad that he referred me to Flo. After moving from LA to Oakland, looking for a mechanic I could trust as much as my last one, this was a stroke of luck.
I’ve been going to Flo and Miranda’s with my 1978 Corvette for the last 5 years and I couldn’t trust anyone more with my baby! Flo knows his classic cars and is a great communicator as problems inevitably arise while the car is in the shop.
He is honest and trustworthy and will even tell me when I’m better off ordering the part elsewhere to save on costs. He is upfront about how long it will take to service which I also appreciate.
My car just keeps getting better and better with Flo’s attention to detail during mechanic visits.
Just one caveat, don’t expect a shop with frills, this place looks like an authentic shop, with cars and parts everywhere!

Flo is very honest and upfront. We have been taking our cars to Flo for the last couple of years. Does a great job and he doesn’t give you the run around. Don’t look any further go to Flo.

I have been taking my cars to Flo for over 20 years. There extremely knowledgeable, great to work with and get the job done right the first time. Best service good prices and will never give you a run around.
The are no BS, and a great shop if you are looking for w «woman friendly» mechanic.

The dealership where I purchased my 91 Jaguar XJS sent me here to get new front brake pads and rotors.
Flo did the work, no questions asked, and sent me on my way with some good brakes. No more squealing or steering wheel jitter.
Highly recommended for quick, quality work.

I cannot say enough great things about Miranda’s. I stumbled across them for an electrical problem, but found that they cover most everything else, and if not, suggest other very honest contacts. I now take my BMW, my Jeep, my 1985 RV and my daughter’s Honda CRV there for repairs.
They are honest, straight and often find used parts to help keep the costs down.
I like them so much, that I even took my car in when needed when I was unemployed, because I knew they would be the best at understanding my cost and financial issues.

Flo is the BEST!!!
I took my car to another place down the street on Industrial and it was a nightmare. My car had a leak with the radiator fluid. I told the mechanics I thought it was the radiator or transmission fluid but I wasn’t sure. I got charged $ 65 to have it «diagnosed», left my car there over night. I picked my car up the next day and was charged $ 150.00. I was told I would be contacted about any additional charges and no one did. I thought oh well and then drove home. Low and behold not even an hour later my driveway was covered in fluid!!! I looked under the roof and located where the fluid was leaking from and took my car back and showed the mechanics. He told me «Well you didn’t show us where the problem was.» I’m sorry do I need to be a mechanic to take my car to one… seriously! Do your job! Anyways they wanted to charge me another $ 150.00 on top of it and I was outraged so I complained and the guy talked to the owner and said I could leave my car again and they’d fix it. Well the next day I pick it up and the leak is gone, I drive home and all seemed fine. The next day my car would not start. When I finally got it to start it would cut off. I was in tears, being a student with not a lot of money I could not get ripped off again. Thankfully my landlord told me about Flo and he is amazing!!! Honest, genuine, does great work and is up front with all costs. He even gave me a ride from his garage to my house since he had to keep my car. He called me to give me options and even told me let’s try the cheaper one and see if that works to save me money, if not then I can come back. My car is working great and I just took my car back to him to get the oil changed! Quick and easy! If you are in the Hayward area, he is THE BEST around! Save yourself a headache, time and money. Go see Flo! :)

Great, honest and reliable service. Doesn’t get much better than this!
