I found these guys from google. I needed brakes on my car I called lots of places for price but first choice gave me the best price. I asked the guys at first choice showed me what was wrong with my brakes before they did any work. After an hour first choice called me I want to see what was wrong and what parts they were going to replace and they explained why I were getting vibration when braking and also a noise.I’m very impressed these guys finished my car same day. After I picked up my car I went for drive to see how brakes are working and I don’t hear any noise and I’m not getting vibration. For their honesty and quick brake work I will give these guys 10 stars ⭐️. I will be back for more work in future.Thank you first choice auto repair.

I’m glad to give a five star rating to 1st Choice Auto Repair. My experience has been consistently excellent since the first time I found them many years ago. They have worked on four of our cars over the years and they kept them all road worthy, right up to my last visit, one week ago. 1st Choice has always been frank about the existing condition of the cars, but also fair in pricing for repairs. I couldn’t ask for more professional mechanics to work on my cars.

Went here today to fix a shim and was told I needed my brakes completely replaced. I agreed because my car was boxed in by others at the shop but, shortly after I checked my records and saw that my brake pads and rotors were replaced by Ford eight months ago. As such, I asked for the parts back to place a warranty claim. Attached is the photo of the pads that were pulled from my car. As you can see, they are all worn only halfway. Clearly a short sighted scam shop. Buyer beware. Also, this place charged me 20% more than average for a legitimate brake job.

This auto repair shop lives up to its name. Great manager, great workers and great work! I highly recommend to everyone who owns a car.

One of my friend recommended them to me. She always take her car to them when ever she have problems with her car. My car was having issue with brakes and its was due for 90,000 miles service. I took my to a shop close to my house they checked my brakes and quote for 90k service. Price was very high i couldn’t afford it but i need my car fix soon for work so i call my friend She highly recommended call first choice auto repair. I called them right away they answered the phone he sounded very professional and friendly told me bring it next day. So i did guy name prab helped me took care my car. An hour later he called and explained me about what need to be done and what things can wait plus the price he gave me was very reasonable and affordable to me. They fixed my car same day and its been over week now my have no issues. I am very happy i found them, and I got my car fixed by them. They are brothers who run this shop (prab and jeet). Thank you.((((((((one thing i forgot to mention be aware guy next door to them he is not part of them this guy always try to steel their work this almost happen to me make sure when you go in the gate they are on left side))))))))).

I got Both front struts replaced on my 2010 Honda Odeyssey .Extremely fast and accurate .Priced well too. Excellent customer service Professional!

They had the cheapest quote after calling around some other mechanic shops in the area, had my front brake pads and rotors replaced and rear brakes adjusted. Prab also generously replaced a rear brake light for free, without me even asking. Needed a bit more work after that to cut down on vibration while braking (machined rear drums). Now everything is running smoothly!I used to walk past this place every day on my way to BART, never thought of taking my car here because it looked so dingy. Glad I gave it a shot, cuz Im so satisfied with the work and service! Thanks First Choice Auto Repair & Brakes!!!

They were fast, efficient and done great work to fix my car and reasonable with their prices. I would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks for the great job.

Really great crew. Honest and affordable. Just had my first service there, so time will tell on the long term quality but seems great so far.My car is a honda civic with 120k miles on it. Shes running like new!

Really great service. The price is lower than most places around here and they do a good and honest job. As a first time car owner, theyve been super helpful in showing me what needs to be maintained and what is working well. Really nice guys.

This store is absolutely first rate. I brought in my Subaru because the Check Engine light was on and the employees helped me immediately. Within an hour of dropping off my car, I received a phone call telling me it was ready to be picked up. When I got there, the employee told me there was no charge for the service. Friendly neighborhood joint that I highly recommend.

Very quick turnaround on brakes and rotors. Good pricing for the bay area....which is really expensive

Always amazing service on my car and the best part is the customer service. Prab and jeer are so nice and very kind. They are honest with what is needed to be fine and super reasonable price. They are fast and cheap just how I like it. I got brakes. Timing belt and other service done on my car. Very happy with their quality of work. Highly recommended. 10 stars.

Prab is honest, communicative and timely. I always bring my cars here for brake service or any other minor issues that may need fixing. I will be a customer for life!

No fluff, diagnosed the problem, fixed the car charged a seemingly reasonable price. Highly recommend

Really terrible experience with this shop unfortunately. They lost the alarm remote for my car, and the bumper that they replaced was totally crooked. I had to come back a second time to fix it, and even then they couldn’t manage to figure it out. I appreciate replacing my alarm remote, But this feels like a bare minimum.

Experienced mechanics, good estimates and pricing, friendly, and very honest. I have been getting my Lexus serviced here for a couple of years now. Besides fluid changes and tune-ups (computer diagnostics etc), they have changed struts, brakes, and tires for me. Excellent work and the best pricing I could find.While they do get busy, they have been able to accommodate me at short notice as well. I see no reason to go elsewhere.

Always had good experiences here. Friendly and fast. Prices always seem super reasonable. And theyve always got my car up and running great when theres been an issue. There are no pretend fees or extra add on services that you dont need, like some mechanics can trick you with.

I have to agree these young men are amazing, they are always polite and the prices are always within my budget, the location is great for me I can always drop off and walk home, then walk back later.

They are the cheapest and fastest auto repair shop in entire bay area. I go there every time to service my all vehicles and never been disappointed with there service. Price is also below average what I see in internet. Excellent service!!!

Probb was the guys name who helped me so fast it made my tires spin. Go here. Affordable. Fast.

Great service, great prices!

I love this Auto repair shop. Great service. Reasonable price. I highly recommend to everyone. Bring your car in this shop for any Auto repair needs. Brake repair. They are very good with there work. Honest. 100 stars from me

I called in and got an price estimate on the front brakes and time that it would take to complete the job. I arrived there at 11:12am. The front rotors and pads were replaced and checked by 11:46am. The mechanic is very honest and fast. His price was very fair. I will definitely go back.Thank you.

Will be back dont let the lot fool you shop is very neat mechanic very knowledgeable fast and affordable Ill be back for sure

I came by in an emergency because my car was making a sound like the tire was flat (even though it wasnt). Prab took me right away and checked out my car... Im pregnant and I had my son with me and we were in distress!! He was so kind and helped me fix my problem right away. I will drive all the way back here from SF if I ever need work done on my car. Thank you for your kindness and service!!

These guys make the impossible possible. I needed two rims for my 2008 Outback, and everywhere else in the Bay Area wanted to charge a million dollars or wouldnt be able to get them for a week. First Choice had them within HOURS with no down payment and no extra shipping fees. They literally saved me hundreds of dollars and made it possible for me to get to my LSAT exam this weekend. Incredibly trustworthy and worth your time!

Always available to help! My go to for any car-related questions or problems. Highly recommend!

Came here early on Saturday morning looking to get my breaks done n my car check. My car was making a weird noise every time i made right turn i took my car to honda n they said it was normal to not to worry about itWhen I brought my car here, guys were very helpful, respectful, informative and above all professional. They were able to tell me whats wrong with my car. They gave me a great deal and got my brakes done new tires, alignment and the noise was my right side axle which i got fixed also.I have told friends and family about this place and how much i paid for all of this and they all said i got great deal all the services got here.I definitely recommend this place. You will not be disappointed !

Fast, affordable service.

These guys are great, but make sure you go to them and not the shady auto body next door! That guy tries to steal their business and he messed up my car!

Fast service, fair price, quality work.

Great service! Fast repairs and very good price!

Honest, kind guys who do good work for fair prices.

These guys are great. Theyve fixed me and my husbands cars for a couple years now. Theyre fast, courteous and not expensive. Highly recommend!

Without question this is one of the best experiences Ive had with auto repair and maintenance. The fellas that run the shop are extremely knowledgable, friendly, and patient, taking the time to explain the work that needs to be done and how theyll go about it. Theyve never tried to upsell me on anything and their pricing is reasonable and transparent. I wont take my car to any other shop. As good as it gets.

This is a great place! Honest and they fix it right the first time.

I called them couple days before 4th of July. Every other places seems to be booked and very expensive. They took me right away to change oil. Nice coffee shop and new restaurant right next to. You can grab a pizza while waiting for your car. Guys working at the car shop very friendly. Prices very reasonable. Definitely coming back to change my breaks soon.

Honest and very nice mechanics. Would trust them with my life.

Fast honest service at a competitive price. Very good experience today.

This is a small, crowded shop that does work at affordable prices. I would especially recommend this shop for people with older cars who are on a budget.

Really nice guys, know their stuff, and are quick. Best to call ahead as they are a small shop so they can be overly busy sometimes.

I really like this place! HIgh quality of services....

I recently broke my foot and have been dealing with a ton of nonsense and difficulty as a result. The last thing I needed was my car to start making a noise I never heard before. Still, when you hear something that doesnt sound good, its always better to be safe than sorry when youre dealing with a car.I had one day off to get to my car looked at, and due to other errands I did not arrive to First Choice until the afternoon; I had a feeling of dread that there was no chance they would be able to help me on the same day, especially considering how busy the shop looked. When I pulled in, after about a minute of waiting, one of First Choices mechanics (and lifesavers), Prab, introduced himself and asked how he could help. I told him that with every rotation of my tire, I kept hearing a noise. I did not know much else, except that my brakes were redone recently. Prab stopped what he was doing to give it a once over, then volunteered to take it around the block to better hear the noise. He heard what I was talking about, and told me that he would do his best to diagnose and fix the problem sometime today. I was excited by his declaration, but still kept my hopes down thinking I would get a call later stating he didnt have time.Around 530pm that day, I received a call from Prab telling me my wheel was loose, and that after he tightened it, the noise went away. I still have no idea how this happened, but if Prab did not take the time to check out my car, something very tragic could have occurred as a result. In addition, Prab could have easily made up some nonsense about labor, parts, inspections, or work done, and I would not have known the difference. If he wanted to con me, he could have charged me an extremely high price because I would not really have had an argument against it. Instead, he asked for $20. $20 measly dollars for taking the time to put it up on his lift, take off the wheel, examine everything, and drive it around again to hear how it sounded. This was all done with no appointment or knowledge of me coming. It may seem like standard service, but I can assure you that in this day and age, this is actually quite exceptional. Prab actually cared enough to do what he could and stick to his word. As a result, I will be very happy to give him my future business going forward.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I had recently purchased a van and took it to them to get te brake pads fixed and anything else that needed it and told them I was going on a road trip. I specifically told the guy several times to please check everything out and he looked me in the eye and shook on it. Well several hundred miles down the road I hear a clicking every time I brake. Took it to another shop in temecula and the guy showed me the underside of the van - the calipers were completely busted in the back and the back brake pads had not been changed - but the worst part of all was that both back tires were ready to blow!! They looked fine from the outside and had plenty of tread but I guess they were just very old and the guys at First Choice didnt mention any of this to me and they had to have seen them. Unfortunately I cant even ask for my money back since technically they did fix my brake pads and I have nothing in writing but this was a very dangerous situation!!! I dont know if the guy was just lazy or what but if I had anything in paperwork I would absolutely have the right to sue and I strongly suggest you do not give them your business!!!!

I cant say enough good things about the quality and integrity of the service. i have recevied from prab and jeet at first choice auto repair. I have been a customer of their for approximatelt 5 years and always experienced being well taken care of. Their services are top notch and their prices are people friendlyI DRIVE 2008 SUBARU OUTBACK. And HONDA ACCORD. I got all my services done here like Brakes, Tuneup, Timing belt with water pumps and Very happy with their work and their price and no problem after work. I recommend this shop to all my family members any friends. 10 stars from meThey open on saturday too.Highly recommended from me
