Pinole Auto Repair

I have known Sergio for more than 20 years and have respected and I am proud to tell you that Sergio and his son Cesar have been outstanding mechanics. They have worked on all my vehicles and several vehicles I have purchased from him. SG Auto Repair is fair honest and reliable. Sergio and Cesar always charge a fair amount for their work.

I own a 2001 Dodge Durango RT. I had several things done to it just last week: a tuneup, replaced front ball joints replaced, replaced sway bar bushings, fixed the cruise control, fixed the transmission handle the engine light issue replace all the shocks and replaced the front brakes. Before all these fixes driving, the car was a bit of a traipse in that it bounced and wobbled on any bump in the road, and I would wonder if I would make it to a destination more than 100 miles away. Now I know, and feel totally confident that I can make the trek the Yucatan Mexico. Not only is the distance in travel more than driving from the San Francisco Bay area to Tampa, Florida, but more than half of the track will be in a foreign country that is still rather Third World, and the proposition of a breakdown even scarier. Mexico does not have AAA. I then had a, what seemed like, insurmountable hurdle in getting a land rover range, rover smog. Well, he took care of that, too! Not only if I found a mechanic, I feel as though I have gained a friend who I know can handle any issue with any car that I have. And not only do I know that he is trustworthy but I have also seen people come and go, satisfied in his work, and trusting him from people who drive very nice and fancy cars to the neighbor down the street from me who I know is very low income. I feel as though you can trust him too.

Love these guys! I had something dragging underneath my car which turned out to be a piece of plastic which they removed. But they also tuned my brakes. They do great work and go over and beyond.

I like the professionalism of Sergio and his team, highly recommended

I took my car because the brake light warning was appearing on and off so I talk to Sergio on Friday but they where jam pack and offer me to take care of my truck on Monday first thing ! by 10 am is been already inspected and estimate was given for what the problem was and despite that it was front brakes,rotors, hoses and 1 caliper my car was ready in the late afternoon and lucky me because is my work truck and only loose 1 day ( enjoy it off though ) also lucky to know Sergio and Caesar(his son) while having a small chat about life and other small topics ate the office I saw the the " Diamond Certified " plaque and no wonder why, they are really good they been taking care of our 4 family cars and we love them ! Thanks S.G auto crew great Job !

I did a prepurchase inspection here and I felt that the price was great for what they inspected. The only reason I am not giving five stars is there was (and still is) a problem with the car stalling after starting that wasn't found.

I’m new to the area and I’m so glad I found a trustworthy mechanic. One morning my jetta took extra long to start and when it finally turned over, there was an awful noise and tons of smoke out of the exhaust. I called SG and they were able to take my car in right away. It turned out to be the dreaded diagnostic: a blown head gasket. Ceaser and Sergio brought my car back to life for a reasonable price. Their communication was excellent and they were patient with all my questions. It’s been over a month now and my car drives great!

Worst place to get your car fixed, they will rip you off. stay away from them at all cost, they will turn a $200 fix into a $4000 ( I am not exaggerating) with fake quotes and estimates if they feel you don't understand the basics.

SG Auto is the BEST!!! Wayne
