Yoshimura Auto Service

Returned!!! Just come here for any car matters. Ask Alan. If he can help you, he will. But for the most part, he and his right-​hand man are an awesome duo.

Alan is a very nice guy and a good mechanic. Trust him unlike other car dealers.

I went to Yoshimura Auto to have my check engine light serviced. The problem was a vapor sensor at my gas tank filler tube. Alan fixed the problem and reset my check engine sensor. When I arrived to pick up my car, Alan didn’t charge me. This is unheard of these days! It is apparent that integrity is more important than money to Alan. For this random act of kindness, I can only recommend Yoshimura Auto to all my friends and family to try and pay it forward. Thank you very much!

I wouldn’t trust my car with any other shop. Allen is honest very Reliable. I have taken a friends car up there for him to look at he fixed with out charging us. Allen is more than reasonable, His shop deserves more than five stars. My dad gets his car fixed there all the time they even droo his car off at the house yes he lives close by. I would recommend if your having car problems take it to Allen.

Yoshimura is extremely reliable and I trust them completely! He helped us sell our 2004 Camry a while back and is always extremely honest with me about my car problems, even if it means sending me to someone else to get a cheaper fix. They also do super cheap oil changes.
I will continue coming here for ALL my car needs.

I have taken numerous cars to Yoshimura, and Allan has always done a great job. I have ventured to other auto shops before due to location, and I have regretted doing that. I highly recommend Yoshimura for your Auto Service needs. Honesty is hard to find, and I have found it here.

Yoshimura Auto Service is a great place to get your car repaired or have regular service done. Alan can be a little quirky (don’t expect coffee, magazines or a waiting room — it’s a garage… with cars in it) but he and his crew do amazing work at an unbelievably low price.
The first time I brought my Volvo to Alan, my Check Engine light had come on. Another repair shop quoted me $ 70 just to tell me what was wrong… before they even fixed anything. Alan ran the diagnostic, told me what was wrong (it was something minor that didn’t require repair). Alan DID NOT CHARGE ME ANYTHING. That’s the kind of businessman he is. There was nothing to fix, so he didn’t charge.
From that day on he had a customer for life.

I really can’t add a whole lot to what other people have said. He REALLY knows what he’s doing. I have a 25 year old truck. No problem for Alan. The first time I had work done I was expecting the bill to easily be $ 250. Alan only wanted $ 160. You get top quality work with Alan and for an almost unbelieveably low price. And on top of that, he gives free advice. I’d bring my truck here from the Bay Area too; even further. Don’t bother with anybody else… I like the idea of tipping him. He earns it!

It’s almost impossible to go to a dealership for repairs or servicing after you’ve been to Yoshimura Auto Service. This very modest, unassuming repair shop highlights the fact that 99% of auto places VASTLY overcharge you for services.
Don’t go there expecting all the bells and whistles (fancy waiting room, coffee, magazines, etc). Do go there for incredibly reasonable prices, often with things thrown in for free because of Alan’s generous nature. I sometimes fear that he is LOSING money when he does repairs on my car. In fact, I tipped him $ 100 on my last service due to all the extra little things he did — he even put $ 20 of gas in my car! (I had brought it in empty)
My family has been taking all of our cars to Yoshimura Auto Service for over a decade. I live in Berkeley but will drive 100 miles to Sacramento to get my car serviced by Alan. That’s how great this place is. SOOOO nice to be able to trust a mechanic and not worry about getting ripped off or sold unnecessary services.

Alan knows what he is doing and will always be more than fair with you. If you need a major repair or just a simple oil change, you can rest easy that he and his staff will get it done right and not have to worry about getting ripped off.

Yoshimura Auto Service is awesome! Go to this place if you want to fix your car quickly for a reasonable price.
My car needed a new idler pulley. There was a bolt that needed to be taken out as well. I couldn’t drive with power steering until it was fixed. I called Honda and got a quote for $ 500, including parts and labor. I decided to check out Yoshimura because it was highly recommended by my family and friends and it’s at a convenient location right across from Oto’s on Freeport Blvd.
My car was fixed and good to go in under a day. Alan charged me $ 120 only! I couldn’t believe that Honda had quoted me $ 500 minimum and Yoshimura got it done for so much less!
Yoshimura has totally made a repeat customer out of me. I have no reservations whatsoever about recommending Yoshimura Auto Service to anybody who needs to have their car fixed in the Sacramento area!
