Both times I’ve taken my car here, I’ve trusted them implicitly. They’re quick and give advice on what needs to be fixed v. what I could live without. Much appreciated!


Jan 30, 2025

Very pleasant experience. I felt both Paul and Reese were professional and did what they said they would do. Outcome was very positive!

Broadway Automotive & Transmission is the cat’s meow. Paul, Reese and the crew are simply the best. Knowledgeable, honest and a pleasure to deal with. The work is done with great pride and is a bargain compared to dealerships. Their attention to detail and communication is excellent. I’m very happy to have found them and can’t recommend them enough.

Incredibly efficient, courteous and easy to work with. They even worked with my difficult warranty company. Highly recommend.

The transmission was acting up on my low mileage Sonic, so I brought it in to see Reece. It turned out to be basically nothing, but he recommended and performed the routine maintenance that was due. I felt heard and respected.

Broadway is one of the few places in the country that can correctly do a Volkswagen camper van automatic transmission rebuild. They were very communicative and fair on pricing.

This is a great shop. Very honest and professional. I highly recommend them.

Honest work at a great price! This is the only place I will take my car now. You can’t put a price on peace of mind, but you don’t have to here. Paul was fantastic to work with!


Dec 06, 2024

Needed my transmission output seal serviced. Dealer wanted 4 times the amount what Broadway transmission charged, plus they specialize. I also found that they do general auto repair. The service I found came with strong integrity. This is a breath of fresh air in what you find out there, and the customer service is GREAT. Thank you Paul for your services.


Dec 06, 2024

Outstanding customer service; Paul is the best. Assertive diagnosis and attention to priorities. I highly recommend this place. Areas of improvement: They need more staff and a bigger place; I had to wait two weeks for an appointment.

Great work, great customer service always! I highly recommend.


Oct 06, 2024

Grateful I went to them for a second opinion! Saved me $3,000, because they are knowledgeable about transmission and know how to diagnose the problem. Car is running great now.


Oct 06, 2024

I'm not sure how it could be better. Both Paul and Reece are great to work with. Their knowledge and communication gives you real confidence and they are fast and thorough.

Paul at Broadway automotive and transmission has been helping me to safely. Keep my older model car on the road until I’m ready to buy a new one. He worked out a personal maintenance plan that made sure the car was roadworthy but not cost me a lot of money. Great guy, great to work with and reasonable prices— great service!


Oct 06, 2024

Paul has great customer service and considerate with his service towards me. To the point that he saved me money

Paul & Reese, co-owners of Broadway Transmission in Oakland for 26 years, deserve more than 5-Stars! Their service & expertise are unparalleled & exceptional in every way! We recently had them rebuild the transmission in our ‘97 VW Eurovan, and every step of the way, they were there to inform us & include us in the process. Our only complaint is that they’re an hour away from where we live, but honestly, they are worth the drive! Wish they could be our VW mechanics but don’t think we’ll be needing them for another 100K, but we might just stop by to say hi once in awhile! Such a great team they are! Thank you Paul & Reese! 🚐

Paul always helpful and friendly and professional. Never a delay in car work. One day service. Always take my cars to them. Great staff

Paul took care of a misfire problem for me this week on my old Honda. He had a busy week, but managed to find some time to service my vehicle. I have been using this shop for perhaps 7 years, and I get professional and courteous service every time.


Jul 06, 2024

Great shop. Honest and knowledgeable. Diagnosed my problem fast!


Jul 06, 2024

Straight forward pros. Highly recommend.


Jun 06, 2024

Can't recommend Paul & Broadway Automotive staff enough. They were super helpful in diagnosing the issues with my car and took the time to break down the costs. Will definitely be going back!


Jun 06, 2024

I am so thankful for the work Broadway Auto did on my Subaru. I'd been having issues with the check engine light and AT oil temp lights, and when I had a mechanic in the area look at it, I was informed I would need to replace the entire transmission. I called a few transmission shops, and Paul was the only one who offered to take a second look at it because a full replacement might not be needed. He was right and this saved me a lot of money! I only needed the valve body replaced. Throughout the whole process Paul was super informative and patient especially with my scheduling needs. My car is back up and running with no issues! 🙏


Jun 06, 2024

Can't even begin to explain how much these people helped me. Stuck with me through every problem, and fixed everything I needed. Military member gold star seal of approval. It's hard to come by trustworthy shops, I'm happy to have found this place.


Jun 06, 2024

Great work, service, and communication.


Jun 06, 2024

Paul was fantastic. Made an appointment and dropped off the car in the AM. He called me a few hours later with diagnostic information, repair process and we were ready to go by the afternoon. Great service, 10/10
