I am very pleased with service they performed on my car. They were detailed in explaining the service that needed to be done. They were friendly too. I would recommend.

We thought we needed an alignment. An appointment was made. However, with assessment tools and modern technology Costa discovered contradictory data/symptoms. They made a combination of adjustments that solved the steering-pull. They could report that if we experience more pull at this point we would need to go a shop that would have to straighten the cars frame. We drove it- and agreed the adjustments worked. They thoroughly reviewed the work with us. The car was fixed within the morning. Highly professional service, orderly and organized, multi-bay capacity, and esthetically pleasing waiting area providing hot fresh coffee. We intend to be a permanent customer of Costa Auto Care.

Wonderful I love Costa!


Jan 16, 2025

Honest, clear, thorough, and courteous. Could not ask for anything more. Nice to know there are still shops like this around.


Jan 16, 2025

The new tire was a little pricey, however, they were able to help assist me and take my tire off and put a spare on. They made sure to help accommodate me in anyway possible! THANK YOU


Jan 09, 2025

Feeling super blessed to have a good auto mechanic shop for my car. I’ve gotten great advice AND service above a beyond their offerings ( LAGNIAPPE ‼️) Plus the shop itself is better than the rest aesthetically


Jan 06, 2025

Best customer service they would show you step by step what your car really needs


Jan 06, 2025

Costa has always been timely, keeping me informed of the work my car needs and everything they are doing to service my vehicle. I even use Costa rather than the dealer for my EV.


Jan 06, 2025

Most impressive to me was the transparency and time spent explaining what was happening. Andrew and Michael were awesome in communication and friendliness! Of course the shops professionalism was exhibited in their delivery of ‘getting the job/repair’ done.The pricing was very fair! The waiting room is a joy to behold! I loved the large atmospheric TV screen with a warm, colorful, gorgeous moving Holiday scene!!! I would highly recommend this shop!!!

I previously utilized the services of Costa Auto Care and Tire several years ago when I owned an older vehicle. Since acquiring my new car, which is under warranty, I have not sought their assistance. However, I still recall the exceptional experience I had with them, prompting me to consider them for any future automotive needs. Their customer service and professionalism stand out as the finest in the Bay Area, unmatched by any other service provider I have encountered. Upon entering the facility years ago, I was met with a welcoming atmosphere and a genuine commitment to assisting me, which immediately made me feel valued as a customer. The staff at Costa Auto Care and Tire took the time to thoroughly address my concerns regarding my older vehicle, patiently elucidating the various issues it was experiencing. Their approach focused not merely on repairing the car, but on comprehensively understanding my situation and offering informed solutions tailored to my needs. This profound level of care and consideration distinguished them from many other auto service providers I have used.

Dec 06, 2024

They are the nicest, fairest car repair shop I have ever used. And I've owned cars for almost 60 years.


Nov 22, 2024

Very clean, professional & friendly service. I love this place


Nov 21, 2024

Thank you so much! Just EXCELLENT !! Figured out what was wrong and how to fix it and how it happened !Always called with updates and car is running great. So quick , too! Very kind and helpful to customers! HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!!!


Nov 20, 2024

Took my car in for the 1st time to for a diagnostic. Within 2 hours of dropping it off Michael called and informed me of the problem (EGR hose leaking). I authorized the repairs and by 4:30p Olando (tech) had me back on the road. Michael was a pleasure to work with. He was honest, patient, and knowledgeable. Price was reasonable for the amount of work and time that was required. I will definitely be back...Thank you -Sunny


Nov 17, 2024

I have been dealing with this company for years. The guys are very friendly and professional. I would recommend them for all your car needs. Thanks Michael and Orlando.


Nov 16, 2024

These guys are phenomenal. I had a flat tire on my Tesla and the mobile service center were positive I had to replace the tire. I called Costa Auto Care and they insisted that they want to first give it a shot fixing before ordering and replacing my tire. I took the car and then managed to slip me in 20 mts before closing., fixed my tire in 15., saved me a bunch of money and I was out of there before they closed. Love these guys.


Nov 06, 2024

1st time there and super impressed with the service, I thought maybe because I am new but I wa able to see how they treated everyone else and I can tell they knew everyone by theirs names which shows repetitive clients. I learned they own the place for about 40 yrs and I can see why excellent care


Nov 06, 2024

5 stars all around!! The staff was friendly, the work was done efficiently, and my car runs better than ever. I’m very pleased and will definitely be back for future services. Highly recommend!


Nov 06, 2024

Costa Auto Care is the BEST out there, hands down. After getting a new car 2 years ago, I decided to take it to the dealership for services and I should have never done that and stuck with Costa. They are honest, efficient, and so very kind. I have never had a bad experience with this team and they have never tried to sell me any unnecessary services. I adore them and will recommend them to anyone in need of a solid, local mechanic!


Nov 06, 2024

Costa auto care is the best! I have been a customer for almost 15 years. As a woman I know I can trust them to be straight with me and always do a great job.


Nov 06, 2024

I am totally satisfied with the service I received! Michael, Orlando, Andrew, and Ulysses and crew always take great care of my car. They listened to all my concerns and did a very thorough diagnostic of my car. They explained everything in detail, and gave me options that I was comfortable with. They let you know what should be done right away, what can be done later, and what can be put off if it doesn't affect the performance of the car. The repairs were done quickly and I got my car back when they said it would be done. Couldn't ask for better service!


Nov 06, 2024

I have trusted Costa with my vehicles since 2016! They provide great work at a fair price. I love that they offer an online process to see what is going on with my car while it is being serviced. I am happy to recommend Costa to my friends and family because I know they will be treated with the utmost respect and care.


Nov 06, 2024

The gentlemen were very polite and clear about what was going to be done with my car.. The text communication was clear. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family..


Nov 06, 2024

This company is fantastic! They all take the time and thoroughly review your vehicle, they send pictures of the items needing attention and let you know what urgent and what's not. They went wayyy above and beyond to get my car back to me and helped me to prioritize what was urgent to address. So patient and professional. I would absolutely recommend them to another seeking professional, thorough and friendly service from auto care center in Oakland or the surrounding area. Thanks guys!! Special shout out to Andrew for your patience.


Oct 06, 2024

Excellent Service, no complaint. Orlando & Michael very knowledged person. Best in Bay. Very Happy


Oct 06, 2024

I had two tires replaced today. Ernesto was great at installing them and he even applied dressing to all four tires. He was also very friendly. I definitely recommend this place to get your car serviced.


Oct 06, 2024

I have been searching for a GOOD mechanic. I received a received a referral from my Pastor: Stuckey who said Mike of Costa Auto Care is the very best for my cars. WOW he was on the money. Mike and his team are top notch. They told me everything that was wrong with my vehicle they fix and it runs solid. No problems or complaints. I will be back when ever I have a problem. They are better than going to the dealership.


Oct 06, 2024

I will never go anywhere else, the Costa's are the best!


Oct 06, 2024

Wow , literally in & out , took care of my issue quick , thorough & all round great service @ reasonable prices , definitely take care of their customers
