Thanh's Auto Services & Repair

Jan 24, 2025

Honest and fair pricing. I have been going here for more than a decade.

My family has been trusting Thanh with auto repair and maintenance needs for over a decade. You will not find an auto shop with more integrity, class, knowledge, tenacity, and honor than this one. Not once have they made me feel like I could get a better deal for the same work elsewhere. Not once has their work left me wondering if they could have done a better job. I recommend Thanh to anyone in the south bay area.

I took my Toyota minivan for inspection and fx as needed to pass the smog test. Thanh did an amazing job of diagnosing the issue and recommended replacing only one catalytic converter as shown in the meter and later replaced both based on the reading. He gave me upfront total estimation made sure I go back and chrck with him again before taking my car to smog test.i consider that is truely a professional service I expect to see from any one including car service. I strongly recommend them for your car service.

BUSY knowledgeable, mechanical ⚙️ 🧑🏽‍💻 👨🏻‍🔧genius,Thanh is. Six (6) bay door shop, I recommend give Thanh’s Auto the time they need to fix your vehicle. VERY busy all day, so leave your car or be prepared to wait. I left mine for five days and the performance is better than when I bought it. He will communicate and try to work something out. He putts a lot on brain 🧠 power 💥 behind hard to diagnose problems with your vehicle. My trunk release worked, improperly. Mine had torn in three (3) areas trunk release, affecting rear running lights and trunk mechanism. He’s the first mechanic 👨🏻‍🔧 to diagnose problem correctly as many other technicians 👨🏻‍🔧 could not figure issue. Not solving the problem with your vehicle bothers Thanh, so he WILL expend a lot of mental 🧠 power behind your problem. Just give him time and space to make things right for you. He cannot be hands 🙌🏽 on 👨🏻‍🏭👨🏻‍🔧with all the cars in the shop unless there is an absolute problem. His shop 👨🏻‍🔧 did A LOT of work ⚙️🔩🔧🛠️🧰🪛on my 2014 Jetta GLI. Oil🛢️ change, coolant flush, tuneup (spark ⚡️plugs and 🧨 ignition coils), transmission fluid flush with filter, fixed rear running light 💡 diagnostic issues, torn trunk latch assembly, replaced leaking valve cover gasket (causing leaks into plugs) and something else…I forgot 🤔 💭. All under $2K 💵 💰 wow 🤯 🤩 😮 🫂.

Thanh’s is the best! We take our 13 year old Lexus here and he has been taking care of it. He recommended a transmission flush the other day and even though that’s not cheap it’s better than getting transmission problems. We always appreciate his recommendations.

Very honest mechanic.

I had an emergency and they replaced my alternator within a few hours. Good prices

Genuine and honest. I went there for the engine check light. They gave me honest advice about the issue and fixed my windshield water pump as well. It ended up costing me very little money. They are quite busy, though.

Can’t find a better shop in San Jose. Fair price. Always straight to the point in repairs to get you back on road. Hey handle our entire fleet.

Hard to beat the honest team at thanh's auto repair. They took care of both my car exclusivly and did a good job and was quick to help if anything went wrong. The good communication with progress or parts was always appreciated! Thanks thanh and the team!

Have been going to Thanh for almost 8 years now for all my cars. He is reliable, reasonable and does a good job.

Honest and trustworthy. My AC was failing last summer (not cooling), I brought our Honda Odyssey 07 to Honda Capitol Dealership and told me that the condenser needed to be changed and will cost me $1500 including the $250 non refundable diagnostics. So I. Brought the mini van to Thanh and he just replaced some seals and added freon and charged 100 bucks for it. It has been almost a year and my AC is still in perfect condition. ...and almost 2 yrs later, my A/C is still working like a champ. Capitol Honda won’t return the $250 diagnostic fee that they charged me, when in fact it was obviously a misdiagnosis!!! April 2023 - TheA/C is still as cold as new. I have 250K miles on my Odyssey and Thanh takes care of it. Honda dealership is a total rip off

I have taken both of my cars to Thanh for a few years now. Every time he has been easy to communicate with either phone or text. Very knowledgeable and has been very trustworthy. I highly recommend him and his team.

I highly recommend this place. Thanh is very kind and resolved our car issue efficiently in a timely manner

I never make or post reviews, but I had to take time out to let people how great Thanh is when working with your car. Thanh is my goto personal mechanic for all my vehicles needs. He worked on my family’s vehicles multiple times for several years and has always been honest, extremely friendly, professional, quick, and his prices were always reasonable and never overpriced. There’s times I purchase parts beforehand and have brought them to him for installation and it was always perfect each time. He always lets you know what your vehicle needs for repairs and gives you quotes before he begins his work and has always been reliable and has great communication. I strongly urge anybody who needs work on their vehicle to come give Thanh a visit or a call. I recommend all my friends and family to Thanh. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. A+++++++++

Simply no place better than Thahn. Thahn is a wonderful and honest person, and his shop does excellent work! I've been taking our cars there for about 6 years, and will always take my cars to Thahn! 2008 Prius 2003 Land Cruiser I can't recommend it enough!

Feb 07, 2024

Thanh discussed options and costs for repairing or replacing a transmission. I did research several other service shops and the price was fair and the warranty offered on the work is also reasonable. I highly recommend him.

Feb 07, 2024

Thanh is amazing! He’s very honest and conversational! I can confirm the past reviews that he will not overcharge you, he gave me a steep discount when it turned out nothing was actually wrong with the car! Once again, Thanh is awesome!

Feb 07, 2024

Thanks for good service

I could write an essay on this place but I will keep it short and simple. Thanh will not rip you off. I'm sure you can say that about other mechanics in the area. But I've never had the pleasure to be serviced by one until I met Thanh earlier this year. Don't take my words for it. Next time you have to service your car take it to this place for a second opinion. Guaranteed your experience will be similar to mine and all the good reviews on this place.

Thanh is great

This store is a SCAM! Beware!! He charged me $130 for car diagnosis. DON’T fall for his sweet talking. He ended up telling me the same problems for the car which I already knew. ( I think he did not even diagnosed my car, my car was at same place and same state when I left the car at the store for diagnosis) He overestimated the cost in the diagnosis report. For example: new turbocharger at AutoZone for my car comes at $600, he estimated $800 and labour charge $600.

Very professional.

I have used this place twice now and I feel like I got really lucky discovering this place. If your looking for an honest and reliable mechanic this is the one. They have replaced brakes and a starter for me and have always been very efficient. The price I paid was what I was quoted both times, very good prices also. What really stands out is that they are very friendly here. I will Def. Keep coming here.
