This place is amazing, these guys do really good work and theyre very honest mechanics. 5 stars! ❤

Excellent, professional and honest. I have an older vehicle and these guys have kept it running and in the best shape possible! Always happy with their work and customer service!

This place is legit. They are fast, knowledgeable, and fair. Exactly what you would expect from a mechanic.

These folks helped me the first time when I was in a serious bind. They had continued to be life savors with great attitude. They are so damn nice Im not sure theyre real. But I price check before I go and they always have the best deal. I invite you to shop around because it doesnt get better than these guys.

My experience with 1701 has been great. They have quickly diagnosed problems and made appropriate repairs. I have used them about 6 times for 3 different Toyotas. Twice they have suggested ways to save money on my repairs. So far they have been 5 star.

I have come here repeatedly with my Saturn and Tahoe and have exemplary service, from easy stuff I probably could have done myself with a YouTube video and a toolkit to stuff a specialist should do. They’re prices cannot be beat and they work with you on parts choices. 5/5 will continue to use them as long as I live in Alameda!

Malcolm, Sebastian, and the crew are not auto mechanics but rather auto magicians. They know their profession .

Trustworthy and consistent.

Great guys, always friendly, honest and accommodating. Ive taken my car elsewhere a couple times, and regretted it every time. Only 1701 from now on!

They always take great care of my vehicles and their customer service is excellent!!

Was able to get me in the same week both times I needed some service in the last few months, they have a quick and knowledge team, always leave feeling more confident than when I arrive

Oh heres my business partners. Been here almost all my life. Not the shop.

I can’t say enough about this establishment. It is an old school shop. Real mechanics not ‘technicians. People who understand cars and understand how you feel about your car. They take the time to figure out what your particular car needs then they do it correctly. For a good price. And they stand behind it.

AMAZING!!! This is the best car service establishment ever! Malcolm, one of the owners, goes above and beyond each time. He explains everything in detail and is super friendly. He is honest and does not try to cheat you, like most other repair stores.

Honest, straight forward, decent prices. i have only been here for tire issues, but have received excellent service every time.

Best mechanic’s shop I’ve ever been to. Really friendly, fair, and honest.

I reached out to this shop after my catylitic converter was stolen and they were were very responsive. My questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. They even gave advice about alarm systems to prevent future theft. I ended up needing to go with a different shop for insurance reasons but I want to commend 1701 Auto Care on their excellent communication and guidance.

The anti-dealership experience. I’ve never felt compelled to write a review before but these guys are extraordinarily competent, honest, and fair. I have never been upsold or given a repair I haven’t needed. They’ve told me of fixes covered under recalls when they could have just charged me for the repair and sent me on my way. Support a local business and a couple of great guys who do good, upstanding work.

Squeezed me in due to a nail in my back tire. Glad these guys are open and able to get me back on the road quickly

Malcolm and the guys always have and still do an excellent job. I would definitely recommend any and all!

I go here for everything. They genuinely check for what needs to be done, not everything they can charge you for. Ive never been upsold in my 5-6 times of taking my car in. Its really rare to find a mechanic you can trust, which makes these guys the best!

We wouldnt take our car to anybody else, these guys are awesome. They go above and beyond for their customers. Posting them as having friendly and professional service does not really give them enough credit, they treat everyone as family.

A solid and reliable team. After searching for an honest garage I am very happy to have found these folks. Malcolm and his team are extremely courteous, responsive and efficient. I highly recommend them as we rely on them to keep my 17 year car safe and on the road.

Very good place to come to to have your car repaired I recommend them to anybody Malcolm and Sebastian are great

They are very good and accurate in service ..... price may very. The fix my Honda Accord down Gard only $110+tax( it asked $250 at Honda ). Recommend

Such a wonderful and amazing team here. We have taken our car for a couple of oil changes here now and I am so glad I found this mechanic. They are honest, reasonably priced and very responsive. The three times we have taken it in (2 oil changes and one diagnostic check for our battery), they have always squeezed us in that same very day. I also have gotten some useful advice from Malcolm regarding purchasing a used car- he gave me some good tips.Such a rare find, and thats on an international scale too. This mechanic is a long term keeper. I highly recommend!

These Malcom is awesome. We’ve taken both of our cars here in the past two years, and we have found the to be professionals and have provided us good value and service.

E cellent service both car and customer

These guys are amazing! Great personal service, I never feel like im being taken advantage of. Really thankful for them and how they always go the extra mile.

Good honest hard work

Its good to find mechanics you trust!💜💗 Thank you guys for all you had work!

These guys are fantastic!! I had a flat on Sonata and they fixed the flat quickly. Very helpful and well knowledgeable, we ended up buying tires for our car a few months later.

Very friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Fair pricing, friendly yet professional service and quality work.

Wao, this guys are simply amazing and honest, simple stuff, or non simple stuff I take my Lexus GX470 with them, super good service and honest people.

I have a plumbing business with 9 trucks. I have been very please with the service experience we have received at 1701. Malcolm is very skilled and conscientious.

The guys are very knowledgeable and straightforward. They dont overcharged and they dont try and talk you into things you dont need. I would recommend them to anyone..

Asked for a quote on Yelp. Quick response thru there and seemed to be a fair price. The guys seemed really friendly and professional

Malcolm takes excellent care of my car. Honest and trustworthy ! Wont go anywhere else !

Always the best Auto Care, the only one you need. Great job.

If youre looking for an honest shop where you dont have to feel like youre getting ripped off this is the place. The staff is super friendly and make you feel comfortable asking any question you want.

These guys know what they are doing, they treat and charge you fairly, and theyre very well-liked in the community in Alameda.

Friendly, straightforward, quick and solid work, good communicators. Much appreciated.

Amazingly fair auto repair place with a personable team and great service.

Malcolm & Sebastian have been servicing my car for 9 years. They are phenomenal, very customer service oriented & always take the time explain everything.

Good spot with honest people

I definitely recommend this place over any other place that I have been to for auto repairs they are honest with the best service and prices around

Great service from beginning to end.

Friendly expedient knowledgeable staff. What else could you ask for?

Great Service, Malcolm will treat you right

These guys are the best!

Honest and easy to work with

Malcom and Sebastian do the best work

Very professional and honest.

The new owner is not like the old owner. The old owner knew everybody in the neighborhood and never gauged us. The new owner is totally over priced and doesnt care about the old timers that have been coming here foe years.

Great work, very engaged and fothcoming

Awesome service, friendly employees

Nice guy, good service, recommend

For auto repair in or around Alameda, it doesnt get any better than this place.

Excellent and fast service

Malcom and Sebastian is awesome!!!!

Dont recommend it!

Friendly but Dishonest.
