Review №1

Yang Auto is located in a pretty risky area of Oakland. I asked the person about going for a walk in their neighborhood—and he discouraged me from doing it.I took my partner’s car in to have a cable welded on to make it more difficult to steal the catalytic converter from his 2010 Prius. Stealing catalytic converters is big business these days – – with the precious metals now worth way more than gold. Thieves are stealing catalytic converter’s here in Oakland, and all over the US. We have been reading about the quick removal of catalytic converter’s all over Oakland – – usually in the middle of the night. Sometimes they even remove them in a parking lot in the middle of the day. And it happens very quickly. Next thing you know—your car doesn’t have a catalytic converter. It’s better to protect your catalytic converter, instead of having to replace it which can be $3000 or so.Sandman’s shop installs range from $250-$800 to protect your catalyst converter. We were able to get steel cables welded on to the our Prius for $180. It’s the best price we’ve seen. The hope is that if someone goes to steal the catalytic converter, they will see that it’s not worth their while and they will move onto the next car.So, we went to Yang Auto Repair because they have the best price that we’ve seen to protect a catalytic converter.

These guys are the BEST. I called to see when they were available to replace my catalytic converter and the guy told me to bring it by the next day. I brought my own cat and dude installed it in 20 minutes no prob. Super efficient, super affordable. Couple months later I had an issue with another part of my exhaust (not related) and same exact experience. Insanely easy to work with and just so efficient and professional.

Honest, fast, pragmatic. These guys are really really good. Fixed a hole in the exhaust of an old mercedes, charged me $50 for parts and labor.Also replaced the catalytic converters on a truck that was stolen and recovered (very expensive but fair given what they cost). I cant recommend them enough. I think its a father/son operation, but dont want to assume too much. Needless to say I am very happy with the work they do and their overall helpful attitude. Businesses like this make you feel good about your neighbors, your community, and give a little hope in a world that sometimes feels like its been turned upside down.

One of the best places to get replacement catalytic converter that meets CA standard. Its even better if you speak Cantonese. Very prompt and fast service. Approximately 30 minutes wait time from when actually pulling your car into the garage. Street parking if you have to wait and challenging to find a spot. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing!. Literally was in and out in less than an hour!. Had to some pipes and exhaust tips to get put on my vette. Thought this was going to be a hassle and took me while to finally wake up early and get it done. I gotta say I should of came here earlier instead of waiting for so long. Would definitely recommend this place to others that need any exhaust work done on their cars👍...must say this place is one of those hidden gems

No one else would take the mufflers off my infinity for some reason. So I came to them and gave me an excellent price. To explained what I wanted and I’m 100% satisfied with the work done.

Went in for a high flow muffler upgrade on my 19’ (new body style) Silverado. The gave me a Super 10 which is substantially smaller and produces a very nice sound. Definitely not over the top though, which is exactly what I was looking for. In and out in roughly 15 minutes. Fairly priced and extremely friendly.

I dont think quality, expertise and expedited work can get any better than here. I had an exhaust leak on my mustang, came in, told Mr.Yang what was going on, he got it up in the air, and found the exact problem in less than 10 seconds. Took about 2 minutes explaining to me what and where the issues were, and 5 minutes later, he had it repaired and back on the road. And they are incredibly fair with the prices. I doubt youll find better than this place. They are amazing.

Ive come here twice for welding work on various points of my muffler pipe (as my car is from the east coast so theres a lot of rust damage) and every single time they do an amazing job and they keep it very affordable. I usually call first to inquire about the line, but if theres no line, theyve had my car fixed both times in less that 30 minutes. My go to place.

I came from another shop that didnt fix my problem. Came to Yang and told them about it. They informed me of what was missing, walked me through it, gave me updates (I needed more than one repair), and each time they were way faster than I expected. These guys are really good and affordable!!

5 out of 5 experience. Repaired the increasingly loud rattle on my 2010 Audi Q5 muffler. (Welded a crack). I showed up midday Monday and 20 minutes and $60 later out the door, problem solved. Super friendly and efficient. And btw Cash Only no longer applies, even though the sign is still there. Yang takes debit/credit card, ApplePay and even bitcoin.

I was in Oakland for work and had a strap on the aftermarket exhaust on my 06 Mini Cooper S break. Called Mr Yang at 5pm and he told me to come right down. Got me back on the road in 20 min and only charged me $20. Gave him a $5 tip for helping out after hours. I would recommend Yangs to everyone.
